"Hey Cam!" screamed James.
Blonde hair turned to face them in surprise before becoming happy.
"Bon Soir. I couldn't find you both at the boats." she replied.
Professor McGonnall had just gone back into the huge doors after introducing herself and giving a quick description of the Hogwarts houses.
"Did you meet up with your cousins?" asked Sirius, appearing from beside James.
Camilla nodded. "Oui, I did. I have to introduce you to them later."
"Ah-hem." came the voice of Fabian Prewett, as he cleared his voice.
"Oh right!" exclaimed James. "Camilla, these are our friends- Fabian Prewett and Frank Longbottom. Guys, this is Camilla Lavensque."
The boys both bowed and kissed her hand after she gave a light curtesy.
"Which house do you want to get sorted into?" asked Frank, attempting to make conversation.
"I belong in Slytherin. However, I am going to try to trick the Hat into sorting me into Ravenclaw." replied Camilla.
"You WANT to go to Slytherin?!" exclaimed James.
Sirius sighed and shook his head with disappointment, "And just when I thought I liked you."
Camilla, unaffected by this simply shrugged. "I'm ambitious. Not everyone who goes into Slytherin emerges mad, crazy and trying to take over the world, you know? I'm not chivalrous or brave. So, I can't go to Gryffindor. I'm not exactly accepting or loyal, ruling out Hufflepuff. I am, however, very very ambitious and I always get what I want. Slytherin is thus perfect for me. But..."
"But?" questioned Prewett.
Camilla's lips quirked, "I had a wager with my cousins earlier. Both of them bet I was going to Slytherin. So, I'm going to do everything possible not to get into Slytherin. I'm smart and a little curious, so Ravenclaw's my best bet. Besides, a Slytherin not going into Slytherin? That would be the most Slytherin thing to do."

"True.." replied Prewett with a laugh.
"But- but-" started James. "Slytherins are all evil!"
Camilla widened her eyes. "James! That is no way to talk about your mother."
And thats when James remembered that Lady Potter was, infact, a Slytherin and a very proud one at that.
"You mentioned something about a Hat." commented Sirius, steading the topic.
"Why did you?" asked Longbottom curiously.
Camilla looked at them strangely, "You all do know that we are sorted into our Houses based on the opinions of a singing hat, right? My cousins told me that."
"A Hat?-
"What happened to the troll-
"Thank goodness-
"I can not have hat hair-
"They are ready for you now." interrupted the Scottish professor.
The children followed her.
... "Black, Sirius!"
"GRYFFINDOR"

"Evans, Lily"
"GRYFFINDOR"
"Fawley, Catherine"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Fortensque, Alice"

"RAVENCLAW!"
"Longbottom, Frank"

"Prewett, Fabian"

...
"Snape, Severus"
"SLYTHERIN!"
That day saw the highest number of Gryffindors sorted, much to Headmaster Dumbledoor's delight- 11 to be exact. There were also 8 Ravenclaws, 6 Slytherins and 9 Hufflepuffs.

Legend of the Seven
Humans were cast out of Eden for committing the original sin. Now Seven will answer, should Humanity live forever? But first, join Team Six in their rescue mission turned daring prison break from death. Author's Corner: Welcome to the Legend of the Seven series #LOTSseries, my Guardians.This is my first novel turned webnovel. I'm returning to this fictional world after a 6-year hiatus with a lot of personal growth and insight. Insights gained from being a lifetime reader.I was the kid who read Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I was the new adult who read I Shall Seal the Heavens and Ark. I've lost count of how many fictional worlds I've visited and lived through for I grew up on western novels but discovered eastern novels in my college years. This is my attempt to marry those two literary styles.It's my hope that this journey becomes more than just a book. If you're reading this simply expecting an ego power trip then turn back. There'll be action but with a lot of metaphysics and discussion on life with its accompanying issues. I strive to ground and make this webnovel relatable with verisimilitude. This webnovel is about choice. Freewill and its consequences. I give my characters autonomy to do and be themselves which sometimes leads to me rewriting and replotting because of pleasant surprises from my characters. Even the character who dies within the chapter they are introduced can have a massive impact with several ripples. So, there'll be stories on love and loss, hope and despair, but most importantly, it'll be a story. Release schedule: M, W, F - I aim for afternoon (1pm to 6pm) MST. I'm working on a project, codenamed "Guides' Sanctum", to make LOTSseries even more alive with special voice-overs, extra stories, behind the scene stuff, and so much more. But it can only come online when certain benchmarks are reached. The listed goals will help us get there. Goals:50 readers will unlock 4 chapters a week - Extra release on Thursday100 readers will unlock 5 chapters a week - Extra release on Tuesday250 readers will unlock 6 chapters a week - Extra release on Saturday500 readers and Project Guides' Sanctum comes online!Links:Lotsseries.blogspot.comSocial:@tonyswag0 - twitter@lotsseries - FacebookI'm thrilled at what is happening and what is still to come. Never be afraid to drop a comment. My DM is open. I'll work to keep this work free to access but I ask you to enjoy it from official sources so that you can be part of the discussion. There's magic in reading together to form a shared experience.Again, welcome aboard, my Guardians.
