Tansy had clearly been bouncing the entire time she'd stood waiting for the sorting. From the train ride to the boats, she'd never felt more excited in her whole life. Luckily, Terry had been right there with her through it all though the two couldn't look more different as twins. He had the cool and calm veneer of a young boy unimpressed by it all, at least to those around them. Tansy saw right through it though. She knew he was just as excited and anxious for it all as she was. He was just better at hiding it, unlike her.
Her blue eyes were wide as she took it all in. The Great Hall was amazing! There was no doubt she was excited by it all, it was evident right on her face. Clearly, she was a girl that wore her heart on her sleeve and her emotions on her face. But then her fellow soon to be first years were being called up and she heard her name being called. With a quick hug and smile to her brother, she all but bounced up to the dais where the hat was placed. She took her seat and then the world went dark as the hat covered her head and eyes...
That was a hard question. She'd never really thought of what house she wanted to be in, always thinking the hat would make the very best choice for her in the end. But.. "I think I'd quite like Ravenclaw," she thought in response, thoughtfully before adding, "Or maybe even Hufflepuff. They seem to be the most like me. I'm not sure I'm brave enough for Gryffindor and truthfully, Slytherin seems kind of scary.." Yes, the first two definitely seemed as if they were better for her. Though.. Gryffindor did have some draw to it. This was an awfully hard question!
Biting her lip, Tansy thought on the question for a few moments. That was hard, there were so many variables. "Well.." she started but paused, unsure of how to respond once again, "I suppose I'd point out to them that that isn't exactly the correct thing to do. But what say would I have really? I'd also tell my friend after. If it really bothered them, they could certainly pursue something further." That seemed about right, anyways. She would at least try to say something but she'd probably be ignored so as long as her friend was made aware, that would be good.
Oh that was most certainly a no brainer. "Unicorn!" she all but shouted in her thoughts, maybe even out loud. How embarrassing would that be? She didn't mind though, unicorn was definitely the one for her. "They're sooo pretty and elegant and majestic. I would love to see one in person one day!"
That was hard. Tansy knew exactly what she wanted to do but if she admitted it out loud there was a chance she wouldn't be good enough for it or wouldn't succeed. But.. who could the sorting hat really tell? She doubted their secrets could be leaked by such a thing, after all. "I'd like to go into fashion design, like my mum," she answered honestly though there was a blush on her cheeks as she admitted it, "But new fashions. More bright and vibrant colors and more daring styles.."
"That's a hard one," she thought briefly, her mind racing with all the possibilities of things she could do but would likely be unable to do. She'd never been that great in the kitchen so a sweet treat to brighten a day wouldn't work really. Her sewing skills were phenomenal but would a garment of sorts be something to do? "I'd probably sketch and color them a picture of something I know they like," she finally decided on, "I don't usually show my artwork but if it wasn't a design, I don't see what harm it would do."
"I'm an artist!" she thought happily but wasn't sure if being artistic was really a trait one should boast about, at least not when it came to deciding on a house she'd be going into, "But I guess I'm also just a happy person. I like to look on the bright side of things and do things that make me and others happy. If I could spread happiness to all, I certainly would!"
