Aly Merven

Backstory

"Alysse Kyana Merven!" the headmistress called. I sat on the chair as the sorting hat was placed on my head. After a pit of pondering and mumbling the hat finally made its decision.

"Ravenclaw!"

I smiled to myself. I saw my older brother, Julian, sitting at the Gryffindor table looking ever so slightly disappointed and my older sister, Andrea, with her friends at the Hufflepuff table waving and smiling. I couldn't wait to tell my dad that I got into Ravenclaw, just like him. I could already see my mother complaining that she was still the only Slytherin in the family and sternly telling Nevon he was the only hope for another Slytherin (although she would smile at me with her beautiful eyes and whisper to me that she couldn't be happier) and my little brother rolling his eyes and saying he'll get into Ravenclaw as well because he is smarter than me (after which my dad and I would share a look, knowing he would probably get into Gryffindor). 

I made my way over to the Ravenclaw table and greeted one the friends I had made on the train ride here. "These are going to be the best years of my life," he said to me. I centainly hoped they would be mine too.
