03:08:24 [SortingHat] Trice, Abigail!
03:08:49 [Ravenclaw] My goodness... what an odd mind...
03:08:59 [Slytherin] * Slytherin coughs loudly. "There are always exceptions to every rule. I adore this girl."
03:09:05 [Gryffindor] Odd in such a good way though
03:09:18 [Ravenclaw] It's like wading through candyfloss...
03:09:30 [Gryffindor] you and me both Sally
03:09:40 [Ravenclaw] Brilliant, mind you, but odd.
03:10:02 [Slytherin] * Slytherin raises an eyebrow at Godric, "Are you challenging me, Sir?"
03:10:02 [Gryffindor] So you'd be willing to sacrifice everything you've stood for just for this student Sally?
03:10:07 [Hufflepuff] She is incredibly special.
03:10:24 [Gryffindor] Need I? I think it is fairly obvious she belongs in Gryffindor
03:10:39 [Slytherin] As much as I may live....er well.... As much as I may get ridiculed for it in the future, and I know that none of you will ever let me live it down...
03:10:39 [Ravenclaw] * Ravenclaw will let Godric and Salazar keep each other busy while she claims the student
03:10:42 [Hufflepuff] Let's not bite our thumbs at each other over this girl..
03:10:52 [Slytherin] Yes, I would sacrifice everything to take her.
03:11:06 [Gryffindor] Bite my thumb? I thumb my nose...!
03:11:16 [Hufflepuff] * Hufflepuff raises an eyebrow at Salazaar.
03:11:21 [Gryffindor] And throw a few other fingers into the mix
03:11:34 [Hufflepuff] Really? Then shall we exchange houses after we put her in Hufflepuff?
03:11:41 [Slytherin] * Slytherin wants her.
03:12:01 [Slytherin] She most certainly does not belong in Hufflepuff, Helga.
03:12:13 [Slytherin] She is much too...... amazing for your lowlifes.
03:12:19 [Slytherin] * Slytherin winked at her.
03:12:19 [Ravenclaw] She's clearly intelligent. It's a sort of random brilliance, but she obviously belongs in Ravenclaw.
03:12:21 [Gryffindor] Always did have a thing for Muggleborns didn't you Sally? *sniggers*
03:12:22 [Hufflepuff] Niether does she in Slytherin, Salazaar.
03:12:37 [Slytherin] She is quite ambitous as well. She belonogs in Slytherin.
03:12:40 [Hufflepuff] Lowlives? Did I hear you correctly?
03:12:43 [Slytherin] DONT CALL ME SALLY.
03:13:02 [Hufflepuff] * Hufflepuff is counting numbers to calm herself down.
03:13:11 [Gryffindor] She does not aspire to be an evil piece of crud though!
03:13:15 [Slytherin] * Slytherin glares at Godric.
03:13:20 [Slytherin] I will duel you for her.
03:13:29 [Slytherin] * Slytherin pulls out his sword and raises an eyebrow.
03:13:32 [Gryffindor] You will have to!
03:13:40 [Ravenclaw] Nonsense, Sally. She's a Ravenclaw. It couldn't be more clear.
03:13:46 [Gryffindor] * Gryffindor unsheathes his sword as well
03:13:58 [Slytherin] Rowena, stay out of this.
03:13:59 [Hufflepuff] Oh please, we're all dead.
03:14:19 [Slytherin] Are you ready, Godric?
03:14:22 [Ravenclaw] I will not!
03:14:24 [Gryffindor] Yes... this is between the Green Meanie and myself
03:14:31 [Slytherin] We will see just how good you are with that thing.
03:14:41 [Gryffindor] I was born ready
03:14:53 [Ravenclaw] Fine. Kill yourselves. Again. Then I shall accept the girl into my house.
03:14:55 [SortingHat] GENTLEMEN!!!
03:14:58 [Hufflepuff] If you guys keep this up, I will snatch her into my house.
03:15:11 [SortingHat] I will not have you tearing my fabric!
03:15:15 [Slytherin] the girl is MINE
03:15:19 [Slytherin] Hat, shut up.
03:15:32 [Slytherin] We will fight this to the...... whatever happens after your already dead.
03:15:36 [Gryffindor] yes do shut up hat
03:15:39 [Ravenclaw] You will not, Helga.
03:15:52 [SortingHat] Well I was going to give you Godric, but now I know not what to do...
03:15:56 [Hufflepuff] Rowena, dear, let's stop their fight, not start our own.
03:16:11 [Gryffindor] * Gryffindor covers his mouth
03:16:12 [Slytherin] Rowena, Helga... Both of you knock it off before I put a silencing charm on the both of you.
03:16:27 [Gryffindor] I meant "Boy are you looking charming this evening, hat."
03:16:33 [Ravenclaw] * Ravenclaw folds her arms "I suppose you're right."
03:16:36 [SortingHat] Nice try...
03:16:53 [Ravenclaw] Blow it out your wand, Sally.
03:16:56 [Slytherin] * Slytherin raises an eyebrow at Godric.
03:17:01 [Hufflepuff] What was that, Salazaar? I didn't know you speak to such lowlives like me!
03:17:08 [Gryffindor] * Gryffindor cheers on Rowena
03:17:17 [Slytherin] You are honestly going to give up the chance to ridicule me for the rest of eternity?
03:17:19 [Gryffindor] you go girl!
03:17:24 [Slytherin] I'm surprised at all of you.
03:17:38 [Slytherin] I didn't say you were a lowlife, Helga, dear.
03:17:50 [Ravenclaw] Of course we would. You're too easy a target.
03:17:55 [Slytherin] I said the students residing in your house are.
03:17:56 [SortingHat] Well let's think about this logically
03:18:13 [Slytherin] She belongs in Slytherin.
03:18:18 [Slytherin] Thats enough logic.
03:18:22 [SortingHat] Since we can't decide peacefully...
03:18:29 [Ravenclaw] The hat is correct. Logic conquers all.
03:18:37 [SortingHat] Either we don't sort her at all, or she can go where she wants to go.
03:18:47 [Slytherin] * Slytherin gulps.
03:18:59 [Ravenclaw] * Ravenclaw frowns
03:19:05 [Slytherin] Lets discuss this, guys...
03:19:08 [Gryffindor] * Gryffindor smirks
03:19:10 [Hufflepuff] * Hufflepuff sighes.
03:19:14 [Gryffindor] you tell them Hat!
03:19:16 [Slytherin] Nice, civilized discussion.
03:19:22 [Ravenclaw] (lmao!)
03:19:34 [Gryffindor] you, civilized?
03:19:40 [Ravenclaw] We are civilized people, after all.
03:19:47 [Slytherin] Of course. Much more so than yourself.
03:20:05 [Ravenclaw] We built a school together, surely we can agree on one girl.
03:20:12 [Gryffindor] I take offense to that *waves sword madly*
03:20:17 [Hufflepuff] Hope so, Rowena.
03:20:34 [Slytherin] Alright. lets look over her traits once more. And debate in more of a political manner.
03:20:52 [Gryffindor] fair enough
03:20:57 [Ravenclaw] Right.
03:21:03 [SortingHat] Salazar, you may go first
03:21:15 [Slytherin] Alright.
03:21:34 [Slytherin] * Slytherin takes a deep breath as he re reads the application, completely ignoring the line that says muggleborn.
03:22:23 [Slytherin] * Slytherin continues reading hoping that the perfect Slytherin trait will pop out at him.
03:22:38 [Gryffindor] Good luck with that...
03:22:43 [Ravenclaw] * Ravenclaw leans back in confidence
03:23:25 [Slytherin] She wants to write books! That shows ambition! It takes a lot of self discipline to complete a full novel, much less more than one.
03:24:08 [Gryffindor] anything else?
03:24:17 [Ravenclaw] You'll have to do better than that, Salazar. Authors are more suited to Ravenclaw.
03:24:20 [Slytherin] * Slytherin looks over the application a couple more times praying to Merlin that something else will jump out.
03:24:23 [Hufflepuff] * Hufflepuff sniggers silently. "Right.... But books?"
03:24:28 [Slytherin] Hang on, I'm not finished reading.
03:24:40 [Slytherin] It doesn't say what kind of books.....
03:25:05 [Ravenclaw] Take you time, Salazar. You always do...
03:25:12 [Slytherin] She only went to muggle school for three years.... that's kind of nice.
03:25:28 [Slytherin] She pretends stupidity!
03:25:33 [Slytherin] Thats a bit decietful.
03:25:56 [Gryffindor] Stop grasping at straws...
03:26:06 [Slytherin] and people avoid her.....
03:26:10 [Ravenclaw] I know. Quite clever of her. She forces others to offer more information than they intended.
03:26:23 [Slytherin] * Slytherin would cry if it were possible for a ghost to have tears.
03:27:02 [SortingHat] Rowena, you've already started to make your case, care to finish?
03:27:18 [Slytherin] Fine, alright. You got me. But I'm telling you all right now, this is the ONLY acception the muggleborn rule that I will ever make... And wasn't it you, Godric who was so keen on telling me that I should be more accepting?
03:27:25 [Slytherin] exeption*
03:27:32 [Ravenclaw] Poor, Salazar. Look at it like this. Now you needent abandon your belief system.
03:27:49 [Ravenclaw] Thank you, hat, I will.
03:27:56 [Gryffindor] That was Helga Sally
03:27:57 [Hufflepuff] Awww. There there, Salazaar. Don't worry. Who knows there will be another like her in.. 300 years?
03:27:59 [Slytherin] Look... I didn't even call her a .... an 'm-word'.
03:28:08 [Slytherin] * Slytherin grins
03:28:24 [Slytherin] I swear, I will never say that word again if you let me have her.
03:28:48 [SortingHat] I couldn't do that to the poor girl
03:28:55 [SortingHat] she is not some prize to be won
03:28:58 [Slytherin] I didn't ask you.
03:29:06 [SortingHat] or a bartering chip
03:29:09 [Slytherin] And I never said that she was.
03:29:13 [Slytherin] But she is perfect
03:29:33 [Slytherin] That's all there is to it.
03:30:13 [SortingHat] Well Rowena, the girl is starting to doubt we'll ever sort her...
03:30:14 [Ravenclaw] this girl is a great thinker. And like many great thinkers, her thoughts are abstract and fight for the attention of her ego.
03:30:20 [Hufflepuff] It almost brings tears to my eyes to see you advocating for your case, Salazaar..
03:30:50 [Slytherin] * Slytherin sighs and sits down, pouting a bit.
03:31:05 [Ravenclaw] Her short-term memory is proof of this. So many thought occupy her mind at once, she has to dispose of any currently useless information.
03:31:18 [Ravenclaw] *thoughts
03:32:29 [Ravenclaw] I should also mention that many of my students are... eccentric. She will find herself at home in Ravenclaw.
03:33:04 [Ravenclaw] I believe I've said my peace, hat.
03:33:21 [SortingHat] Very Well
03:33:30 [SortingHat] Helga, do you wish to get on this?
03:33:51 [Hufflepuff] Yes, indeed I do.
03:35:38 [Hufflepuff] Well, I agree with everyone that this girl is very extraordinary.. However, she seems to develop a balance, a balance between her eccentricity and order.
03:36:24 [Hufflepuff] My house will offer her the other part she doesn't have, and she will learn to become a more rounded, whole person that she deserves to be.
03:36:45 [Hufflepuff] Plus she is a flower child. She accepts everyone. How can I ask for more?
03:37:08 [SortingHat] All right... Godric?
03:37:17 [Gryffindor] Right... save the best for last
03:37:32 [Gryffindor] It's rather obvious that she's impulsive
03:37:32 [Slytherin] * Slytherin sits quietly in the corner, knowing that through all of his efforts he is going to loose the girl.
03:37:36 [Slytherin] lose*
03:37:57 [Gryffindor] She ran to Dumbledore's office without knowing what to do when she got there
03:38:11 [Gryffindor] She made no plans, didn't think ahead, was acting on instinct
03:38:46 [Gryffindor] She is a prankster and a practical joker
03:39:03 [Gryffindor] Enjoys pranking and other rule-breaking activities
03:39:15 [Gryffindor] This is a great Gryffindor tradition
03:39:37 [Gryffindor] I do not know many Ravenclaws who feel the need to break the occasional rule or two.
03:40:20 [Ravenclaw] I can name quite a few.
03:40:41 [Gryffindor] And her favorite rule is that all students do their own work
03:40:57 [Gryffindor] But your poster child... Mr. Tilden... He does not, does he?
03:41:07 [Ravenclaw] In fact, I believe the head of the current prankster club is a Ravenclaw. Though, I may be mistaken. I don't get much news in this hat. No offence, hat.
03:41:23 [Gryffindor] This shows that she has a great sense of justice, and fairness. Yet another of Gryffindor's hallmarks
03:41:34 [SortingHat] None taken
03:42:09 [SortingHat] So is that all?
03:42:14 [Gryffindor] Yes
03:42:24 [Slytherin] * Slytherin shrugged
03:42:36 [Ravenclaw] I think it shows that she likes doing her own homework and testing her limits. Ravenclaw hallmarks.
03:42:41 [Ravenclaw] Yes.
03:43:03 [Slytherin] If you want my honest opinion.
03:43:05 [Ravenclaw] Nowhere, unfortunately. I may have a solution...
03:43:23 [Slytherin] "She would do well in Ravenclaw....." he said rather glumly
03:43:53 [Ravenclaw] Have Salazar pick, sinse he is the only one out of the running.
03:44:06 [Slytherin] * Slytherin glared at Rowena
03:44:11 [Gryffindor] I object!
03:44:16 [Hufflepuff] Me too.
03:44:19 [Slytherin] I think she would do best with you.
03:44:20 [Ravenclaw] *since
03:44:23 [Gryffindor] Like Sally would ever pick me for anything!
03:44:30 [Slytherin] Oh Godric hush.
03:44:33 [Slytherin] Listen to me.
03:44:45 [Gryffindor] He's just trying to get back at me for that crack about his little wand the other day!
03:44:47 [Ravenclaw] It was merely a suggestion. I had no idea he would pick me.
03:45:10 [Slytherin] She isn't brave enough to be in your house Godric, and you know that as much as I know that she isn't ambitous enough for mine.
03:45:14 [SortingHat] Well I too believe that the girl would do best in Ravenclaw
03:45:18 [Gryffindor] NOOOO!!!!
03:45:36 [Slytherin] Helga, no offense to your house dear, bue she is too wonderful of a girl to be surrounded by the Vincent Crabbe wanna be.
03:45:48 [Gryffindor] *Godric's shoulders slump, and he drops his sword
03:45:54 [Hufflepuff] * Hufflepuff sighes. "I was merely thinking of the girl's future... "
03:45:55 [Slytherin] And since we know that realistically, she is not suited for myself.
03:46:01 [Slytherin] She belongs to Rowena
03:46:13 [Gryffindor] "Very well," he breathes.
03:46:23 [SortingHat] RAVENCLAW!!!
03:46:41 [Ravenclaw] * Ravenclaw punches the air... then tries to regain her dignity
03:46:48 [Hufflepuff] * Hufflepuff sniffles.
03:47:24 [Gryffindor] Well love... now that I've let you win, how about you and me do a little celebrating?
03:48:13 [Ravenclaw] "Let me win?" Maybe I will let you celebrate by yourself, then.
