Miriam had been waiting what felt like her whole life to attend Hogwarts and take part in the Sorting Ceremony. As the oldest, she only had her mother's experiences to go off of, and her mother was far more honest than any older sibling would have been. Papa insisted she write every day, which she fully intended to do, of course, but first she had to get through the Sorting.
Honestly, Miriam hoped she'd be in Ravenclaw. From the descriptions her mother had given for the houses, Ravenclaw sounded like the smartest, cleverest people ever. But she would leave that decision up to the Hat.
She took a deep breath as she contemplated how to respond clearly. I'd say I'm happy, curious, and trusting!
None of the above, she thought honestly. I look like my mama, so I don't want to change my appearance; turning into an animal just encourages bad behavior; and seeing the future just feels like too much responsibility.
A speed-reading potion!
Hmmm. Report them to the professor, immediately and with discretion.
This one took a moment to think on, but she was decisive once it came to her. Ignorance, and I intend to defeat it with learning.

"Describe yourself in three words."
She took a deep breath as she contemplated how to respond clearly. I'd say I'm happy, curious, and trusting!
"Would you rather be able to change into an animal, change your appearance, or see the future?"
None of the above, she thought honestly. I look like my mama, so I don't want to change my appearance; turning into an animal just encourages bad behavior; and seeing the future just feels like too much responsibility.
"If you could invent a potion, what would it do?"
A speed-reading potion!
"Imagine you see someone cheat in class. What do you do?"
Hmmm. Report them to the professor, immediately and with discretion.
"Who is your enemy and how will you defeat them?"
This one took a moment to think on, but she was decisive once it came to her. Ignorance, and I intend to defeat it with learning.
