Seeing and hearing a hat of all things sing was more than a little bizarre for the two Devils in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Though considering what they've seen and experienced before (mainly the various quirks of other Devils in Enuma's case and people who were particularly loony in Shalltear's case), the hat wasn't really high up on their weirdness rankings. Closer to the lower middle rankings for Enuma and the really low rankings for Shalltear actually.
As Professor McGonagal proceeded to start calling up the first years to get sorted, one first year at the time, Enuma couldn't help but start to grow more and more anxious due to the Devil not liking to be alone for extended periods of time. While it wasn't a big problem, it made the King feel uncomfortable, which caused Enuma to unconsciously start shifting in place. While most of the first years didn't notice Enuma's discomfort, Shalltear Bloodfallen and Hermione Granger did seem to notice. The former because she was well aware of her King's issues and their various tells while the latter just seemed to be observant, which prompted the Vampire to put a comforting hand on the redhead's shoulders.
"Relax. You'll be fine. Just stay true to your ideals." Said Shalltear as reassuring as the Vampire could to her King, just as Professor McGonagal called up the first first year, a Hannah Abbott. "I'm up soon. Wish me luck." Enuma didn't say anything, but simply nodded and gave her Queen a thumbs up.
"I really wish I could have little Cydaea with me right now." Muttered Enuma, mostly to herself.
"Who's Cydaea?" Asked Hermione politely, having apparently heard Enuma's muttering.
"That would be my Familiar. Some might consider her creepy but I simply love that crawler. She's a Taratect."
"Is she safe?"
"Oh she's harmless… unless she bites! Then she's deadly!" Stated Enuma quite enthusiastically. "I can show you Cydaea at a later point."
"Okay then."
"Shalltear Bloodfallen!" Exclaimed Professor McGonagal, calling up the mentioned Vampire to be sorted.
"Shalltear's turn huh? This oughta be interesting." Muttered Enuma as the redhead turned her attention towards her Queen, who calmly walked up and sat down on the stool. While the two Devils could definitely hear the chatter regarding Shalltear's last name, neither of the two really paid attention to the chatter as Professor McGonagal put the Sorting Hat on Shalltear's head. The hat appeared to twitch for a few minutes before eventually bellowing out, loudly:
"HUFFLEPUFF!" The house of the loyal and hardworking. While Enuma wasn't completely sure about the hardworking-part, she was sure that the loyalty-part definitely fit her Queen. The Bloody Valkyrie might not be fanatically loyal to her King and the house of Gremory, but Shalltear was definitely devoted to supporting her King. Beit as a warrior or as a friend.
The violet eyed Devil more or less stopped paying complete attention to the Professor as she watched her Queen's robes change to match the rest of the house of Hufflepuff, black and yellow, and said Queen take a seat amongst the other members of Hufflepuff. While most people didn't notice, the Vampire clearly chose her seat on purpose, with said purpose being to be in full view of her King. Enuma wasn't entirely sure how long she simply looked at her Queen, but she eventually started paying attention to Professor McGonagal again as Hermione was called up, which meant that she was probably up next.
"Enuma Gremory!" Exclaimed the Professor once the Sorting Hat declared that Hermione was going to Griffyndor, the house of the brave and courageous, prompting the Devil in question to walk up to and take a seat on the stool before having the Sorting Hat put on her head.
"Oh? So you're the King that other Devil thought so highly of?" Asked a voice that sounded like the Sorting Hat… inside Enuma's head.
"How in the seven hells did you learn that and what do I need to threaten you with to prevent making you talk?" Replied Enuma worriedly to the sudden voice in her head, and wasn't that a strange thing.
"Relax, will you? Even if I wanted to, I can't spill the beans. It's simply just how I was made. So don't worry, my lips regarding your secrets are sealed… not that I have any lips. Now, where to put you, Enuma Gremory?"
