Thankful that the train had finally arrived at school, Mariel hurried off and bounded over to the Ravenclaw table once inside the Great Hall. She was even a little excited for the sorting, feeling an abundance of House pride and wondering who the new Ravenclaws would be. Maybe that new girl, Dani, that she met on the train would get sorted into her great House.

Sliding into the seat next to Lasca, she first grinned at her friend, then noticed Liz sitting across from her. "Hey, Liz... and Keltan!" Mariel exclaimed in surprise upon finally noticing the boy sitting next to the older girl at their table. "So, you got sorted into Ravenclaw? Awesome!" Because any Claw would feel that way about being sorted into the best House ever.
