The Sorting Hat

[Scellanis]

You know what, I don't think I ever even got a password and yet I'm still allowed in for some reason.

psst! (House forums are not password protected but House Common rooms are password protected in the book, if we had passwords on the forums they'd leak cos friends would pass them round and then everyone could get in everywhere, forum entry is done using member groups so only Prefects and Paul can give access)

[GodrictheGriffon]

I know. I was just joking.

[Forge]

Oh almighty Sorting Hat,
Can you please sort me into the great Gryffindor House?

[FawkesthePhoenix]

Woohoo! Another Gryffindor member-to-be! *passes around chocolates*

[Paul]

Happy to confirm your now Sorted, Forge...hee hee - does that mean I can have a choccy. If you follow Simatra, Scarlet Lioness, and Q.Araignee, they'll show you the way to the Gryffindor Common Room and tell you the password to get past the Fat Lady.

[*Riley*]

I thought you could give the password ?

[Paul]

Eeek, I think I'm going to have to stop mentioning passwords. Like Scellanis has mentioned in her 9th January post , there aren't technically any passwords for House access here on the board - either myself or the House Prefects approve members for a particular House and they can access automatically.....it seems the Fat Lady, and the other House Entrance keepers, have developed some good recognition skills and memory for their House members here at BaO.

[*Riley*]

I know, I refer to them as passwords even though they are nothing of the sort, sorry to confuse you

[Wanderful]

Could I please be an arrogant Slytherin ?
I wanted to join a house different to my cousin, and I wanted to join a house that is less active so that is why I want to be in Slytherin.
Thank you !

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

Of course you can! Welcome to Slytherin! That's two new members in one day, it must be a Slytherin record .

You can now enter the Slytherin Common Room, if you dare!

[Wanderful]

Thank you! I knew if I was patient somebody would answer !
*Trots off to join Phoenix in the common room*

[Obladi3713]

Any way I could be a Ravenclaw?

[*Riley*]

Wow Obladi!
You sneaked around this forum and posted 152 times without me knowing! I've only sen a post of yours once or twice! How did you manage to get 152 posts in 4 days!! That's a great feat!
Anyway, I'm sure a moderator will let you into Ravenclaw when they can. Good luck

[DucksRMagical]

*blushes* That would be due to mine, Fawkes, and Obladi's activeness in the word game forum. Obladi is one of our in real life friends.

[*Riley*]

Oh really ? So, he/she can't leave without dealing with you !
