Open post! Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede! Eleanor had made sure that Simon was comfy in his rat carrier before she had left him with her backpack and trunk. She had very reluctantly left him with her other belongings since she didn’t know if Hogwarts allowed pets in the great hall. He and Ollie were her only safety nets at school since she really didn’t know anyone in this new school if you didn’t count Samuil that she had met on the train.
With nervous steps and wearing her new Gryffindor coloured red and gold school robes after being sorted by the mouthy sorting hat to the cheers of lots of students Ellie had gone to the side to wait for her brother to be sorted after her. In a overwhelmed daze she watched as Ollie got sorted into Ravenclaw. They weren’t going to be in the same house. Not fair. Feeling her twin stick his hand in hers Ellie walked with him down towards the tables trying to not have a drama moment.
Stopping near the Gryffindor table she gave Ollie’s hand a comforting squeeze and whispered in his ear that they’d meet after breakfast tomorrow morning and catch up. Releasing her grip on her brother she turned to her new housemates and gulped down nervously. With a shaky breath she walked the few steps to the table and looked around at the girl’s and boy present plastering on a big smile glad to see at least two familiar faces in Samuil and Stella. “Hi everyone! I’m Eleanor, I’m a new transfer into third year. Can I sit anywhere or is there a seating arrangement? Is the sorting hat usually very vocal?”
