The Sorting Hat does not reply to you, because at that very moment you feel a jolt and white light surrounds you on all sides. Don't worry, for everything is alright.

Where one second you were standing in the Shrieking Shack, the next you are lying in a bed in a white room with a Ministry employee greeting you. The entire time you have been in a magically modified daydream.

The employee asks if you need any medical assistance and tells you that your scores will be up soon. You are free to head over to the stands to join in cheering the other competitors on as they finish the challenge.

OOC: You are now free to view both the viewing stands and the other competitors’ threads.
