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.
( I 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."
