 Fortress of Brilliance ღ Mommy Quad
The Great Hall was loud with chatter of friends conversing, some for the first time since the train had dropped everyone off at the station to go home for summer break, while excited and nervous first years were being sorted, running off to join whichever of the four house tables they now belonged to. When she was waiting with the other new students, Kaitlynnh observed her surroundings noting things about the Great Hall and boat ride across the lake to the castle that William had told her of, having nothing better to do since she couldn't stand next to any of her friends.
Once she had gotten her turn to sit down on the old stool and have the ancient magical hat placed upon her curly haired head, Katie was granted her latest wish - to be placed into Hufflepuff, like every single magical member of her father's side of the family had; like her older sister Savannah. And suddenly, walking slowly down to the table of gold and black, she didn't feel half as happy as she thought she would, or should. Instead there was a sinking feeling in her stomach, a feeling she ignored to the best of her ability, blocking it out like she blocked out the noise around her.
By all means she should be proud, this was on the list of things she and Legend faught over; he didn't think she had a chance at being in Hufflepuff, like Savannah. And she had proven him wrong, so she should be happy. Why wasn't she? As if admitting the reason to herself, dark eyes wandered over towards the Gryffindor table for a brief moment before she took a seat at the Hufflepuff's table. Crossing her arms on the edge of the wood surface infront of her, the small girl layed her head on her arms.
