The girl that stood a couple feet next to Valentina offered her a hand shake and Valentina accepted with a soft smile. They shook hands. The young girl saw Ramona shoot her a genuine smile as the girl asked her for a family trend in their Hogwarts houses. Ramona put the measure tape back around her neck and left the girls alone, probably to go get a robe that would fit Valentina the best and then start to work on the lengths that wouldn't be perfect yet.

Valentina shot the other young girl a slightly confused look, not because of the question but because she was trying to remember if there has ever been a trend within her family. "I don't think so", she finally said. "Uhm.... Ramona is... She was a Hufflepuff, just like Dad. But Luciana - she is a Gryffindor. And Mom... she... didn't attend Hogwarts." Valentina frowned slightly. Maybe if her family had a trend, she wouldn't be so nervous for her sorting. She would already know her house beforehand. "What about your family? Do you have a guess what house you will be getting into?"

The brunette witch had no idea what house would fit herself and she was quiet nervous because of it. If she didn't know what house would fit her, how would the ceremony choose a right one? Maybe they would pick a random one and she will turn out unhappy in her house? Maybe she would feel like she was in the wrong place? Or maybe none of the houses were fitting her? She didn't know what would happen if no one house fit her. Did that ever happen before? A student without a house? A student that didn't fit in any of the four? She should trust the ceremony. But she grew more nervous while talking about it.

"I am Valentina", she introduced herself. "Do you have older siblings that go to Hogwarts? Did they tell you what the ceremony is like?" Ramona had refused to tell her sisters anything and Valentina had looked forward to Luciana going to school and telling her, but Luciana turned out to be worse than Ramona. She didn't just not say anything, she told her a bunch of stories and with a little luck, one or two would be true and the rest outright lies. But Valentina was far from guessing which ones were the true ones. Luciana always shrugged when she asked if she picked 'the true version' of a story. She wouldn't tell her.

"Is it true that the ceremony consists of four tests that have to be solved and the one you solve the best or the quickest will tell you what house you belong in? One test for each house?" That was Luciana's story that Valentina thought could possibly be the truth. But Luci had a way of telling stories that sounded truthful.
