It was a good thing Liz had been warned about Hogwarts--specifically, about how damned weird it could be. Unlike many applicants, she didn’t just show up in the Sorting Room; instead, she and Shaun had taken the Floo system through Diagon Alley, a trip that made the Tube look like a paragon of efficiency by comparison. At least the Tube didn’t get you quite as filthy.

The school was pretty much as he and Susan had described--vast, ancient, and exceptionally bizarre, even without her having met any of her soon-to-be fellow students. It was not, however, as bizarre as it might have been--Z-Day had given both her and Shaun the ability to believe almost anything.

“Does everyone pass through here?” she asked, picking up the application.

“Everybody,” Shaun affirmed. “It’s how they decide where you’re meant to go--the Houses, and all that.” Both he and Liz had grown up well after boarding schools went out of fashion, so the only contact they’d had with the idea until now had been through books.

ExpandI think you've understated the weird factor )

(( the strictly OOC disclaimer:
"I have read the hogwarts_hocus faq, and understand it is a crazy, cracktastic sorting community and RPG. Liz.
I have read the hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them. Liz.
I agree to be a good sport and not get my knickers in a bunch. Liz. ))
One day, marmalade (?) will rule the world. Liz."

((Backdated to November 1. I know I said no more Halloween posts, I forgot about this, shut up. XD ))

Several owls go out anonymously to a group of people, none of them signed, and charmed so the handwriting is not recognizable to the reader. There's nothing creative about the warding, really, the writer just wasn't in the mood.

ExpandOwl to Michael, warded )
ExpandOwl to Trilby, warded so that only he can open the suitcase )
ExpandPackage to Francis Abernathy )
ExpandOwl to Tomo Takino )
ExpandOwl to Benton Fraser, warded )

The last owl is sent out much later, after a great deal of deliberation on the writer's part.

ExpandOwl to Zelgadiss Graywords, very heavily warded )
