"Yes, well, the Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes. I shall return when we are ready for you." McGonagall says, before leaving the chamber. Unlike in canon, there are no discussions about the Sorting, presumably because my yearmates are working their way through the revelation that the House Point system is useless. There are however still a few screams as a large group of ghosts just floats through the walls, arguing amongst themselves and ignoring the first years. If memory serves they’ll stop to talk to us once they notice us, so running an experiment on if mind altering spells worked on ghosts I drop a quick non-verbal Notice-Me-Not on my fellow freshmen, which gets me some askance looks from those around me. I ignore them, and noticeably the ghosts don't even notice us. Delightful. I tear it down when McGonagall re-enters the room.
