Hogwarts was beautiful, and Elise was speechless when she saw it. It was a freaking castle! She hadn't known that. Nevertheless, Elise found herself ushered into the Great Hall where the Sorting was taking place. When it was her turn, Elise tried to stop her heart from hammering so fast behind her ribcage.
She sat there for a time; though she didn't know how long before it yelled out, "HUFFLEPUFF!"
A feeling of sadness came over her. She wasn't in Gryffindor as she would have liked; seeing as Gwen was sent there. But Elise mentally shook her head. Hufflepuff was a great house, and suited her well.
Her smiled renewed, Elise wandered down to the table with quickened steps. After sitting down and greeted by the upperclassmen, she proceeded to watch the rest of the sorting. She clapped and cheered loudly when the people she had met were sorted into their respective houses.
