Blake took a deep breath... shook his head a couple times and turned back to the professor. "Umm..." He tried to swallow a few times, he could get through this .. he could. His very unSlytherin ways continued to show... he was most certain that the sorting had had got it wrong....

Trying again "I ... I think I'll be okay Professor Recard." He added, shaking his head once more ... he was no where near a portrait .. the portrait had come to him ... so .... as long as she didn't come near him he'd be okay. "I think he mostly did it just because he can." There!! Blake was able to get an answer out without puking ... which is what he really wanted to do. "He had an idea and executed it."
