Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

Taliesin waited for his turn to come. Addyson went first. Good for her, first was normally Avalon. She didn't seem all that excited by it though. Probably because it was just how they were getting called out alphabetically. Why didn't he think of that. Of course Addy thought of that. He should have too. He heard the Hat call her House Out. Ravenclaw...okay. So Dad's hope, and Gigi's that they'd all sort into Gryffindor was already moot.

Then came Avalon's name. She at least showed WAY more emotion than Addy did. Ava was good for that. The Hat sorted her into Gryffindor at least. That made sense to him. I guess the Hat was barely on Ava's head for a second when she got sorted.

"Dane, Taliesin!"

Oh It was his turn now. Okay, Taliesin time to go up there and get sorted into Gryffindor for dear ol' Dad and Great Grandma. He took his place on the stool and then looked outward toward the crowd of future classmates. It was a sea of Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. It was a spectacular sight to behold. SPECTACULARLY TERRIFYING! Tal's face went white as the noise from the crowd only got louder and louder to him. Any other sound would go straight over him.

He started to think he was overhearing others question why he looked so nervous and what he was doing up there looking so foolish. ..."hufflepuff!... Maybe they were laughing at him because they could see massive pit stains forming around his black robes. How could they see that?! It was black...could they maybe smell how sweaty he was?! He was wasn't he! The Young Dane was scared stiff on the stool.

There was a tap on his shoulder that finally kicked him out of the swelling fear and the Sorting Hat came off his head. "B-but...I wasn't sorted." Has the Hat ever refused to sort a student!? He looked down dejected. He would have to go home and break the bad news to Mum and Dad.

Wait...his robes lining turned Yellow...YELLOW? Hufflepuff? When did the Hat sort him? He didn't even hear the Hat say anything while he was so frightened. He was lightly nudged toward the Hufflepuff Table. Off Taliesin went to go join fellow Badgers Embarrassed that he froze on a stage once more.

No Avalon, No Addyson joining him...

Who was going to get the Cat!?
