Throughout the year, the Grand Hall is home to many meals and events. One such important event, is the Sorting Ceremony; held on the very first day of the school year. Second through seventh year students enter the hall first and are seated at their house tables. After everyone has been seated, the first years are lined up alphabetically and brought in to take part in their sorting.<br/><br/>They stand in a single line in front of the Headmistress. One at a time, she calls them up and wraps the Sorting Cloak around them and lifts the hood gently over their head. The Cloak sees deep inside the student's heart and mind. Once the Cloak has seen enough of the student's dreams, goals, thoughts and desires, she places them in the most appropriate mansion. Once assigned to their mansion, the first year joins the other students of the same house at their table.<br/><br/>After the sorting ceremony is finished, there is a large feast. Once finished eating, students are permitted to socialize and familiarize themselves with the layout of the school. However, come midnight, all students are to be in their common rooms. This curfew is strictly enforced, and any student in non-compliance will receive detention.<br/><hr/>Please use this code:<br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatleft][img height=300] insert your character avatar here[/img][/floatleft]<br/>[b]Character Name (PC/NPC):[/b] Please use the appropriate label<br/>[b]Year/House:[/b] (First years on the carriage, just put your year)<br/>[b]Relationship Status:[/b]<br/>[b]Wearing:[/b]<br/>[b]Location:[/b]<br/>[b]Date:[/b]<br/>[b]Tagging:[/b]<br/>[hr]</code></pre>
