When they arrived at Hogwarts, the first years were instructed to wait outside the Great Hall. Presently, Professor McGonnagol returned and told them to follow her.
As she walked into the Great Hall with the others, Eleniel spotted her sisters, sitting at the Gryffindor table with their friends. They waved at her and she grinned back, but was forced to carry on walking by Sirius jabbing her in the back with his wand which he was supposed to have left in his trunk. "They your sisters?" he asked as they gathered around the Sorting Hat. "Yeah" she murmured back as the hat began to sing.
Professor McGonnagol pulled out a scroll and began reading out names. The first name called was "Black, Sirius"
Sirius sighed as he sauntered up to the stool and the hat was placed on his head. "Gryffindor!" the hat hollered. Sirius exchanged a puzzled look with Eleniel as he made his way to the Gryffindor table. They'd all expected him to be in Slytherin...
Eleniel patiently watched the rest of the sortings until "Elwing, Eleniel" was called out. She calmly sat down and the hat was placed on her head. "Ah...you again..." the hat spoke into her ear. "Well, best put you back where you were last time...better be GRYFFINDOR!"
Eleniel smiled to herself as she sat down next to Sirius and they watched the rest of the sortings together. To their relief, both James and Remus were placed into Gryffindor too...and so was Peter.

As they were shown to their dormitories and warned that the boys would NOT be able to enter the girls dorms unless they wanted a nasty surprise, Eleniel giggled when Sirius muttered to her "I bet I can find a way...!"
He was given a fright however, when Eleniel's sister, Indis, called "I wouldn't bet on that Sirius!" from the other end of the common room. He looked at Eleniel with wide eyes. "How did she hear me?" he asked in wonder. Aredhel walked past and told him "curiosity killed the cat Mr Black" He looked even more surprised as he hissed "when did she appear?" Eleniel simply laughed..."Curiosity killed the cat Mr Black" she teased him. "Curiosity killed the cat!"
