"Ravenclaw!" The man with the red hair (who's name, Ella learned, was Professor Gryffindor) announced. Ella breathed out with relief. Ravenclaw was the house of the beautiful woman. The other man was named Slytherin, and the blonde woman was Hufflepuff.
Ella went to join the sorted Ravenclaw students at a long oaken table.
She began to wonder why this was called a feast. Not a crumb of food lay on the table. She soon realized that she had thought this too soon for piles of food soon appeared out of thin air.
"Hello," a blonde girl next to Ella said to her. "My name is Phoebe Namous," the girl acknowledged an Egyprian girl across the table, "this is my best friend River Fletefoot."
"Not that I like the name River," the girl across the table sighed, "My parents always were strange." She looked up at the ceiling dreamily and said simply, "I hope this clears up by tomorrow."
Ella looked up at the ceiling curiously to find that there wasn't any. All she could see was a dark, dreary sky. "Oh my goodness."
"Don't worry," Phoebe said. "It is only an enchantment."
"How would you know that?" her friend countered.
Phoebe rolled her eyes, "It's obvious."
River gave a distinct sigh of defeat and began to eat a rather large piece of corn.
"Are you a muggleborn?" Phoebe asked.
"A what?" Ella gave a look of extreme confusion.
"Do you have non-magical parents?" River supplied. "We'll take that as a yes."
"Oh," Ella said, embarrassed that she didn't know what seemed so simple. She continued as she felt the slight blush leaving her cheeks, "my mother's grandmother was a witch, but ever since my relatives haven't had an ounce of magic in them. What about you two?"
"My sister and I," Phoebe pointed to a girl at the table for Slytherins, "are purebloods, or have complete magical ancestry, but River's aunt is the only magical person of her family except her aunt. We're distant cousins, but her close relatives are mostly non-magical people born from wizarding families. They can also be called squibs."
At the end of the feast all of the founders stood up and began calling for their house students to follow them.
Ella marveled at the many rooms she passed as she followed Ravenclaw to her house.
"Welcome to the Ravenclaw common room and dormitories," She said as she came to a halt in front a statue of a regal looking woman with butterfly wings sprouting out of her back sitting sidesaddle on a Unicorn. She held up a necklace that had a pendant in the shape of an ornate wand, "This is your key to your house. You will press it to her hand," she pointed to a space on the woman's hand that everyone just noticed to have a small engraving in the same shape of the pendant on it, "and the statue will open up to a staircase. You will follow that staircase down and find yourself in your common room."
She demonstrated, led them down to a handsome blue and silver common room with couches, tables, desks, and an ornately decorated fireplace, and gave them instructions as to what they should do in the case of an emergency, showed them to their dormitories. Once everyone was given a necklace Ravenclaw added that the necklaces would need to be kept secret.
Ella lay in her bed with a full stomach and a happy disposition. She began to recount her sorting.
Be patient with all the cliffies I will try to update soon so I bid you good day.
