Claire was overjoyed, she had made it to Hogwarts! It was incredible! So much magic in one room, Claire could barely imagine the rest of the school. Oh, she hoped she was sorted with her twin.
As the hat was lowered onto her head, she shuffled with excitement and nerves.
Which house? Specifically? Hm, which would be more fun for her? Gryffindors were brave, so did they get to go on adventures? Hufflepuffs found things, did it take an adventure to do so? A Slytherins were cunning and determined, like she had been to find a way onto that boat. Ravenclaws were smart and creative, that was good for adventure. "I don’t know. So many of them have the qualities for an adventurer. I’m an adventurer. I went on a ship with my twin, without Mama and Papa." She responded thoughtfully. Was that OK? Was it OK to not be sure?
How awful. I wouldn’t want that to happen to anyone I care about. What if it was Cele? She wouldn’t stand up for herself. Claire knew that she had to do something. "I’d first try telling them to stop. I might take back my friend’s work, glaring at the mean person."
Was that all she would do? She had to think for a moment. "Then I’d prank them when they’d least expect it." She added with a slight nod. Maybe Peeves would help with her pranks some time.
Ooo, animals were fun! And so many interesting ones were named. Oh, was it rude to think of a centaur as an animal? Most of them were horse related. Why was the kelpie placed among them? "Centaurs don’t really seem to like humans, they’d probably see me as annoying. Unicorns are pretty. I’ve heard that muggles like unicorns. Mama might not like unicorns then, she doesn’t really like muggles. I like muggles, they’re interesting. Don’t tell my mama that. Why is the kelpie among the horse like creatures? I feel that this should be explained. Aren’t they a type of merperson? Well, they’re probably nice. Aren’t they in the black lake? Oh, and the abraxan, I’d choose that. I can go on adventures with an abraxan." After finishing her small rant, she wondered if she’d annoyed the hat. Some people didn’t like when she talked that much.
Oh! Such an easy one! "I want to be an adventurer! I want to explore the world! That would be such a delight!" Excitement ran through her at the very thought of it.
Poor friend. Is it the same friend. "Is it the same friend from earlier? I’d invite them to come prank that mean person with me. Or we can go explore the castle together. Both seem like fun options. Depends on what I think would make them feel better."
Hm, trait. Did it have to be a personality trait? Or just something she loved? "If being an adventurer is a trait, than I’d say that. If not, it would be my determination. If I didn’t have that, I might never have gotten onto that ship. I might never have had my first sign of magic. I might not have been able to be here." That’s how she saw it, anyway.
