The Sorting Ceremony {1890}
#52
The hat was speaking inside his head! That was quite the thing to experience. His brow furrowed in response to the first question.  You can never ride a broomstick again, how would you deal with that? It was a horrible thing to have to consider. "I don't rightly know. I would be inconsolable but I suppose I would find other hobbies to take up my time." Maybe he would start an informal club that tried out playing Quidditch on magic carpets.

Which class are you least looking forward to? "Probably History of Magic. You don't learn any spells and it seems like it might be a terrible bore." Besides, he was all about looking towards the future, not the past.

Your classmate has been peering over your shoulder and copying your work in class, what do you do? "I would just try to hide my work from his prying eyes. I wouldn't turn him in though because I ain't no snitch." Besides, telling on the person would just get him ousted by the person and their friends and who knew whether or not they would decide to gang up on him? No thanks. 

You make it onto your house quidditch team but you overhear the team captain saying how you only made the team because of your brother's reputation. How does this affect you? "I would be annoyed but would be extra determined to prove that I am an actually skilled player and more than just my brothers little brother. I would make sure I was one of the hardest working members of the team. I want to achieve my own glory in my own right."

Which is more important: loyalty or honesty; skill or purpose; foresight or hindsight? "I think loyalty is more important than honesty. A lie told to make sure a friend doesn't get hurt is worth more than being honest, in my opinion." He pondered the next question. Skill or purpose? "I think purpose. Without a clear purpose, there is no use for skills. You need a purpose to be working towards." He didn't know if he had answered that the way it was meant to be answered but he was sticking with it. "I think foresight is more important than hindsight. There is not much that you can do about things that have already passed."

There is a thunderstorm at your brother's quidditch match, a bolt of lightning is about to strike him but you have the power to save him by deflecting it. However in deflecting it you will fatally electrocute multiple members of the opposite team. What do you do? Mateo felt sick at the idea of anything happening to his beloved brother. Could he sacrifice a lot of people to save his own brother? One person over many? He thought it through very carefully before providing an answer even though it broke his little heart to even think it. "I would not deflect it. It is not right to sacrifice many for selfish reasons or just one person." But would he really? He wanted to be a good person and a good person would think about the good of as much people as possible, right? This was all a bit much for the eleven year old to be pondering when he could feel his tummy starting to grumble.
