The older Amherst, face piercing and cold as ice [colder even!], sat down near two girls, his eyes fixed on those being sorted. He hated the fact that he was gloomy, so he planned out his pranks; that always made him happy. A smirk then formed on his face, forgetting everything he was murky about. He quickly averted his gaze on the first years and switched to the girl that was looking at her. He found himself being his arrogant self and smirked at the girl.
"Take a picture; it lasts longer." His said coolly and mockingly. He sneered slightly and faced front, watching the child, her sister, being sorted, though he was really listening to the girls near her.
The child?s grin broadened, hearing her name being called. She practically bounced whilst she was walking up to the where the head masters and mistress were. She grinned merrily at them, while a woman with grey hair whom was dressed in yellow and a man dressed in red, bearing a lion emblem, walked towards her.
"Miss Amherst, please answer the subsequent questions." Ordered the man in red. As a response, Avril nodded and awaited the question that will be asked.
"How old are you?" The man inquired simply yet in a polite manner.
"I'm ten, sir." Avril answered, still overflowing with happiness.
"My, aren?t you young. Nonetheless, you seem capable of?" Avril couldn?t hear his last words, making her curious, once more. Her head tilted, straining to hear what he was saying but ended up to no avail.
"My dear," Now it was the woman who spoke. "If you were to?" Suddenly, the man clad in green stepped forward, a smirk visible on his, and interrupted the woman. ?What do you think was the purpose for your being?? He asked in a cold demeanor; clearly he knew that she would not be in his 'house' as it would be a shame does so.
"I?" There was a long pause before she continued on answering. "To help those in need; to save those in distress? That is why I? am here; to act as a hero to those who needs one." Avril answered firmly, though slightly unsure.
"You would risk your life for anyone? Die for them?"
Die "Yes, sir. 'Tis better knowing you have helped another."
The man in red quickly stood beside the Amherst and asked questions, as did the two ladies. It took them a while before they had finally made a decision.
"My, my child. Your bravery is quite admirable. Therefore, you belong in Gryffindor."
The man shook Avril?s hand and gave her a slight smile. He then pointed her to where she would be seated.
