(I think so, Shade. Remember, the Carrows are Sorting, not McGonagall.)
Melissa couldn't help but notice that the room had sort of a dimmed appearance to it. Slightly… dark.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ok, ok," Reyna said, calming down a little. "Just trying to be optimistic with… everything." She tilted her head to the High Table, where Snape sat in Dumbledore's seat. Reyna felt her heart break a little bit. Cho followed her gaze. Her eyes melted.
I'm in the mode for a Harry Potter RP...
Evelyn groaned. "As if DADA wasn't bad with him, now he's got the whole school under his thumb." She rested her chin in her hands. "And the Death Eaters are here."
(Carrows stand up: Everyone's Slytherin. Now go away)
"We have to do something," Reyna whispered to her friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Rowan Bryne (?)," one of the Carrows snapped. Melissa scowled at her feet.
Evelyn nodded. "Most definitely. We should try and meet up with the other DA members. We could start with Luna." She said, waving at the blonde girl down the table.
(I feel like Lloyd would want to join DA but they'd be skeptical bc he's a Slytherin. Remember, in the books there wasn't a single Slytherin in DA)
(Yeah, he could talk to Reyna and Evelyn and they could try and do a spell to change the color of his robes. It's a big school so not everyone would know him enough to know he's a Slytherin.)
(And he doesn't talk to anyone lol he's a socially awkward bean)
(Accidental run-into then.)
(Yeah. Or he forces himself to be confident enough to speak because he hates the Carrows as much as anyone else)
(Yeah that works too!)
(Cool cool let's carry on with the sorting :D Or Lloyd could walk over to your ppl bc he knows they're talking about DA)
Rowan walked up to the hat. It was so strange as the hat was placed on her head. It seemed to be contemplating something.
"SLYTHERIN!" the Hat yelled. Melissa smiled encouragingly at Rowan.
Lloyd overheard a couple of Ravenclaws talking about Dumbledore's Army. He hesitated for a moment before walking over to them. "H-Hello, I'm Lloyd Windsor. I couldn't help but overhear you talking about Dumbledore's Army. Is… d-do you know whether there's any way for me to join?"
Rowan smiled nervously back at Melissa as the a pit settled in her stomach. Slytherin, isn't that the house that hated muggleborns? Wasn't she a muggleborn? How the heck did she get put in here? She quietly walked over to the table and quietly sat down.
Reyna looked at his badge skeptically. Cho shoved her shoulder and looked Lloyd over. "Why would a Slytherin want to join the DA?" "To turn us in?!" Renya hissed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Melissa… Caraway!" Melissa felt a little lightheaded as she walked up to the stool. The hat was placed on her head and, after a second, shouted: "SLYTHERIN!" Melissa ran off to sit beside Rowan and get out of sight again. Her face was very pale.
Rowan gave Melissa a bright smile and two thumbs up. At least she would have one friend in Slytherin.
A slight pink tint rose to Lloyd's pale cheeks. "I-I hate the Carrows just as much as anyone else, I promise. I… I-I know I'm a Slytherin, but not all Slytherins are bad." He smiled weakly. "I know my classmates… sort of exploit the stereotype, but I have no intentions to rat you out. I want the Carrows out. I know what they're doing is wrong, a-and cruel…"
Reyna was still unsure, but Cho patted the seat next to her and quickly cast a temporary charm to make his badge look like a Ravenclaw one. "Will your friends realize that you are missing?" she asked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Sorting finished and mounds of food piled on the tables. Melissa gaped in awe before taking a little bit of everything from the platters that she could reach.
"Er, I don't really… have, friends. I've found I don't get along well with most other Slytherins. The Sorting Hat was originally torn between Ravenclaw and Slytherin, but it decided on Slytherin in the end because of my ambition. I am a Pureblood, but that's just a silly title. Blood type means nothing in the capabilities of magic. There are many muggle borns who are considerably more talented than I am." Lloyd examined the Ravenclaw crest on his robes. Phos trotted up to him and hopped onto his lap.
(Will your friends notice you're gone? Ha. Haha. Hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…. what friends?)
Cho nodded. She looked at her friends. Reyna crossed her arms, but had lightened her gaze.
Lloyd pet Phos, seeming a bit anxious still. I knew being a Slytherin would cause problems… there's not any other Slytherins in the DA! And probably for good reason… they'll never fully trust me…
Rowan looked at everything in marvel. Magic was so cool! She began taking a little bit of everything. She could hear some of the other students whispering things about her, and some others were giving her glares that if Rowan didn't know better were meant for those who had a target on their back. Yep, Hogwarts was no different than her old school.
(Awww Lloyd can be her older Slytherin guide through Hogwarts! He wouldn't want her to feel hated and discriminated against for being a Slytherin like he was/is)
Yay! Little Rowan the mute muggle born Slytherin has friends!)
(He's a nice boi)
(Maybe she'd be getting bullied or smthn and he comes in like f off Jared you horrible snek)
(Yessssssss. That is perfect!)
