Lorelei was glad that her last name put her at the beginning of the line to get Sorted; although she knew what was going to happen, she was still nervous about which house she would be placed in. Her mother had been a Gryffindor, while her father had been a Ravenclaw, and she knew that both parents were expecting her to be placed into either one of those houses.

"Lorelei Chase!"

Through her reverie, Lorelei heard her name called out. She shyly made her way to the stool and sat down; a moment later, the Sorting hat was placed on her head.

"Hmmm...a reader..." the hat began. "Rather shy and introverted, preferring your own thoughts over very social situations. Knowledge is important to you, and you have quite the creative side to you as well. I think you'll do well in RAVENCLAW!"
