McGonagall:
Welcome, first-years! When I call your name, come forward, and the Sorting Hat will place you in your house.
McGonagall calling out:
Your Character’s Name.
Your character nervously walks up and sits on the stool. The Sorting Hat is placed on your head.
Sorting Hat: Gryffindor
she was confused but walked to gryffindor table
The other students at the Gryffindor table applaud politely as you sit down. A few of them give you curious glances, wondering who the new Gryffindor is.
The Sorting Hat is placed on your head. The hat seems to think for a moment, then speaks in a booming voice:
GRYFFINDOR!
She smiles at the hat thank you
The Sorting Hat whispers in your ear.
Sorting Hat: Ah, a smart one, eh? But there’s something more to you, isn’t there? A thirst for adventure and a deep sense of loyalty. You’ll do well in Gryffindor, but you might surprise yourself in the future.
she smiles and walks to her new dorm
As you walk towards the Gryffindor common room, you hear a voice call out to you from behind.
"Hey, you! New girl, right?"
The first-years are looking up at you with a mix of excitement and nervousness. They’re all wearing brand new robes and carrying their Hogwarts letter.
The Sorting Hat starts talking in your head.
Sorting Hat: Hm... Slytherin, I see. You’re ambitious, cunning, and resourceful. Perfect traits for Slytherin House. But there’s also courage and determination...
she smiles and walks to the gryffindor table
The Gryffindors cheer loudly as you take a seat at the table. They all look excited to have a new addition to their house. Hermione smiles at you, happy to have another girl in the group.
Ron:
Hey, nice to have you in Gryffindor!
she looks surprised but happy thank you!
The Great Hall bursts into applause as Professor McGonagall guides her to the Gryffindor table. The students are chatting and joking amongst themselves. Sitting with the other first years, she notices a boy watching her from the Ravenclaw table. His name is Harry Potter.
As the Sorting Hat is placed on your head, you feel a moment of weight, and then a voice in your ear.
Sorting Hat: Hm, you're a tricky one... You're brave and cunning, but you also have a strong sense of loyalty. You could thrive in any house... but I sense a desire to prove yourself, to stand out from the crowd.
I walk up to the stool and sit down
The Sorting Hat is placed on your head. It sits there for a moment, considering your qualities.
Sorting Hat: Hmm... You're ambitious, determined, and cunning, like a Slytherin. But you're also brave, loyal, and passionate, like a Gryffindor. A difficult choice...
You step up to the stool, your heart pounding. Professor McGonagall smiles reassuringly at you as she places the Sorting Hat on your head. The hat sits quietly for a moment before speaking.
Sorting Hat: Ah, another one, eh? Hm...ambitious, you are. You have the potential to be a leader, but you also have a thirst for knowledge and a desire to make a name for yourself. You could do well in Slytherin...but...
The hat pauses, as if deliberating. You hold your breath.
McGonagall calls out your name.
McGonagall: Your Character’s Name!
You approach the stool and sit down. The Sorting Hat is placed on your head, and it begins to speak in your mind.
Sorting Hat: Hmmm… Where to put you?
The Sorting Hat is placed on your head.
Sorting Hat: mumbling Ah, yes, quite interesting… Plenty of cunning… resources… A bit of bravery. But also ambition and determination. Yes, you’d fit well in… SLYTHERIN!
