Yellow stood in the middle of the crowd of first years, nearly invisible to the other students who were staring at the group of eleven year-olds. She was terrified. What if the hat ate people's brains or something. She still wasn't quite sure that this whole wizard thing was even real, what if the hat was going to brainwash her into believing she really is a witch?
Her mind continued on those rabbit trails, making her fear level rise higher and higher. She watched with horror as the nice boy she had met on the train, Alfred, walked up to the stool. He looked just as frightened as she was, but he said something to himself and went through with the sorting anyway. The hat yelled out something about Gryffindor, what is that? Oh! Right, she remembered what it was one of the houses in this school. As soon as the hat had said it (NO! HATS DON'T TALK!! WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!) Alfred got up from the stool and went to a table. He didn't look any different, but that might be to fool people into thinking he's perfectly fine. Oh why didn't she try to stop him?!

As the hat was settled on Charlotte's head, it began to search through her mind.
Hm...Interesting..., a voice whispered at the back of her mind as it picked through her memories. Versatile...I could put you any number of places, my dear...
Clow Reed watched the still girl with the hat covering her eyes as the seconds wore on. She was taking longer than previous students had, but he was hardly worried. He trusted the hat to do it's job and pick the perfect house for every student.

'Huh, the girl sitting down now looks pretty cute...' He thought to himself, making a mentle note to go and talk to the little pink haired girl later. By now, everything was just background noise. The only time he bothered to pay any attention at all was when a girls name was called. He sighed dramatically. Bored, Masaomi turned to look at the first year who had just sat down next to him. Hm, poor kid looked terrified. Well, no matter.
Grinning widely he patted the kid on the back maybe a little too hard. "Yo, Fresh Meat! Welcome to Gryffindor~"

Izaya had watched with interest as the Sorting Ceremony began. It would give him an idea of the different students and potential personality types. He knew all too well the types of students that went into each house from his own experience and his teaching here. It was also a good time to start connecting names to faces, getting to know them before the first day of class... He always liked to have the upper hand in those kinds of situations. That wasn't to say that he looked particularly excited for each of the student's sorting. No, while the interest burned in his eyes he pulled off a rather bored clap when the hat spit out a name for the students.
He gave a wave to Shinra, rolling his eyes slightly. The doctor was so enthusiastic about inhuman things and it perturbed the Potions Professor. Humans were so interesting, why would you need anything else?
His attention shifted back to the girl in front now with the hat on her head. It was taking a long time... Hmm.. interesting? He craned forward to watch, curious to see what was taking so long and where she would ultimately end up. Things seemed to be interesting...

Finally, the hat made its decision.
"Hufflepuff!" it shouted, breaking the long silence. The teacher near the front yanked the hat off Charlotte's head and pointed her in the direction of the Hufflepuff table, worried the girl would be disoriented from having her eyes covered for so long.
The Headmaster moved his eyes down the list as he worked his way through the names, one by one.

Yellow watched the headmaster scan the list of names, terrified of being called up.
"Don't let it be me, don't let it be me..." She muttered, hiding behind another taller boy. Her heart was pounding nearly a million miles a minute as the little Charlotte girl went to her table.

He continued through the alphabet, carefully pronouncing each and every name. For some kids, the sorting was instantaneous, while for others, like Charlotte, it took several long minutes. Finally, he reached the last name, and glanced up at the small blond girl standing alone by the stool.
"Yellow Bosque-Verde," he said, nodding slightly at her shivering form as he attempted to put her at ease. "You're the last." He neatly rolled up the scroll and wound a string around it to keep it shut as the teacher held out the hat to the girl.

Yellow's eyes widened, she was terrified.
"Y-Yes sir..." She walked up to the stool ever so slowly, being the very last of all the first years. She had to think that this was the worst thing ever, so be last. she was all alone and facing that ugly old hat. She sat down on the stool, letting the headmaster drop the hat onto her head, and flinching as it covered her eyes.

Shinra noticed the girl flinching away from the hat, and sighed. If this one last student could make it though the sorting, then his job would be over for the night. Well, until the students who overate stumbled into his office, or his coworkers drank too much and had terrible hangovers in the morning--
But it was no use worrying over those things as there was no way to prevent them. Instead, he just had to hope that this girl wouldn't keel over and pass out from terror. He leaned his elbows on the table and rested his chin on both hands, watching her intently.

The Sorting was almost done. There was one student left. But Kimihiro's attention was directed somewhere else. It was the pink-haired girl, one of the new Hufflepuff.
She looked very nervous when she was sorted. He wondered if she was okay.
"Hi, I'm Kimihiro Watanuki. Welcome to Hogwarts, Charlotte," he said with a smile.

Felicianna lit up as she noted the newcomers shuffling off to their tables, memorizing their faces and making sure she'd go and greet them each later. Once the pink-haired girl came to the Hufflepuff table, Feli perked up and made sure she was as close to the young dalring as she could get, which happened to be next to the tall, skinny, black haired man she'd come to recognize as Watanuki. Felicianna moved to Watanuki's front and back, trying to get a good view of the little pink-haired girl. She only relaxed and leaned forward when he spoke to her first. As if it were on queue, Feli chimed in after him, "Yeah! And welcome to Huffflepuff!"

Alfred grunted as his fellow blonde clapped him on the back, but otherwise didn't seem to feel anything as he smiled.
"Sup?" How American...Alfred looked him over curiously before adding, "so where's the meat? I'm starving." The 'new meat' mentally slapped himself for such a cheesy response...darnit now he wanted cheese with his meat...no wait...A BURGER. As if on cue, his stomach growled loudly. Alfred immediately turned scarlet.

As if on cue, when the loud growl echoed through the hall the hat shouted out, "Hufflepuff!"
The teacher by the stool took the hat off of Yellow's head and ushered her towards her new house, before tucking both hat and stool over one arm and leaving to put them away. Clow Reed smiled and looked out at his students.
"The sorting is now over. I have a speech for you, but it can wait until after you've eaten and gotten to know your new housemates." He waved one arm, and food materialized on the tables.
"You may eat!" and he took his seat again with a flourish.

As he opened his mouth to reply, The Headmaster answered the question for him and Masaomi watched somewhat startled as food materialized out of no where on to the various platters laid out on the table. His old school wasn't nearly as fancy as this. Magic never did cease to awe him.
Shrugging away the first year's question, Masaomi reached over and began piling his plate with way too much food than he could eat, obviously taking the opportunity to try all the different foods he had never seen before.
"So what's your name again?" He asked before taking a rather large bite of some sort of orange and purple-y pastry.

After the hat shouted hufflepuff, she quickly ran to the table with the little pink haired girl. Yellow was so relieved that the entire ordeal was over and that her brainwashing hadn't been too painful. But she was sure it had definitely worked when a huge feast suddenly appeared on the table where there had been nothing just a few seconds ago. It was so strange, she just sat there gaping.
