[color=a187be][h1][center][i]Larentia Naelistrum[/i][/center][/h1][/color] Larentia offered a small smile and a nod, she leaned closer to her friend and whispered in her ear as the woman holding the scroll began to call out names. "I'll explain what I can later. The hat that will be placed on your head is called the Sorting Hat, it reads your mind and decides on which house to put you in. Just remain calm and you'll be placed in a good house." She pulled back and discreetly reached for Oriana's hand, giving it a comforting squeeze she pulled her hand away and focused her attention on the kids going before her. It'd be her turn soon.

Truth be told she couldn't wait for her new snakes to join the rest of their house, she adored her students and made sure they knew the rules of what it meant to be a Slytherin. She took a sip and focused her gaze on Professor Peverell, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks, she looked away and forced herself to relax. Her back straightening when a name she didn't expect to hear filled the hall, the very air seeming to freeze. "Miss Larentia Naelistrum" Alicia's eyes widened when a girl with dark hair and pale skin moved forward, her chin held high and her hands lay limp at her sides. The Naelistrum family said they had a daughter but she was heading to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic...so how was she here instead. The interview had been the after their daughter had been born, they'd stated firmly that she'd be heading to the better school, Hogwarts didn't seem right for her. Alicia blinked and took another sip of her wine, she needed to think. [@Nallore]
