Hogwarts AU (closed RP with the-gays-all-here)
@the-gays-all-here "Now, if you'd all like to follow me into the Great Hall, we can get the sorting underway." A tall and slightly stern looking witch waved her hand and the grand doors of the hall swung open slowly to reveal a large banqueting hall; down its length were four tables filled with students, all of which bore different colours for each table - red and gold, blue and bronze, yellow and black, and green and silver - and at the far end of the hall was the horizontal table for the teachers. "Wow, this is amazing! Icuras, look at the ceiling! The candles are floating and there's stars in the ceiling: stars!" Exclaimed a rather excited boy with partially spiked up hair, who carried a slight Italian accent, as he shook the shoulder of the other beside him. "It's so pretty; I hope we learned how to do that." replied the other in a similar accent, although his hair was softly curled rather than spiked. The witch stopped just in front of the teacher's table and picked up a scroll from a stool, on which sat a rather dirty and old looking hat with plenty of wrinkles. "Now, the Sorting Hat will sort you into your houses; Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Slytherin, or Ravenclaw." the witch announced as she unfurled the scroll, "Aetura Drujek." The crowd of first years fell quiet as a rather shy looking boy shuffled out of the group, trying to avoid eye contact. From his appearance, with his triangular nose, tanned skin, and slicked black hair, he carried the air of Arabic descent about him. As he tentatively sat on the stool and the hat was placed on his head, Aetura seemed to hold his breath a little until the hat sparked to life and loudly announced, "HUFFLEPUFF!" Aetura breathed again as he stood up and made his way to the table of applauding students dressed in yellow and black. This process went on for a little time for half of the group, with four others joining Aetura in Hufflepuff; a bright and bouncy Latina girl named Alex, the enthralled Italian with the spiky hair named Lateem, a tall and fairly strong looking boy called Demetri, and a graceful looking girl with wavy brown hair by the name of Nerina. Into Gryffindor went a limping boy with blond, sideswept hair named Leon - he had been sticking close to Alex - a dark blond Russian boy named Callceon, who seemed to give off a slightly disturbing air; another bouncy girl, this time with a long plait of copper hair, who almost hit the witch with her braid as she span to sat down on the stool - she went by the name of Aria - and a very unsure looking boy of Indian descent - Ciar - who didn't seem to believe that he had been put into a house for those of bravery and daring. Heading into Slytherin was a confident and rather attractive boy by the name of Rijeph, who stopped at the Hufflepuff table to put an arm around Aetura's shoulders in a brief hug and assure him that it was okay, a middle-eastern girl with long, wavy dark hair called Sheoki, a small Asian girl with her hair tied into two buns either side of her head, who went by Shrosa, and a rather annoyed looking boy with dyed red hair named Aiden. Finally, Ravenclaw took on the new students in the forms of a spacey-looking brunette named Cadovana, the other Italian boy Icuras, a serious looking girl with her hair tied back into a high ponytail and bangs that framed her face - Kikiyu - a shorter girl with a black braid and glasses named Catzii, and a white-blond girl who radiated purity as she slowly and carefully made her way up the steps to the stool and slowly and carefully made her way to the Ravenclaw table, called Lucile. With 21 of the group gone, the witch turned to the remaining few and began to read the rest of the names.
