You're a transfer student from another magical school. Hogwarts has permitted you to transfer to their school because there was an incident at your school and students were being sent to other schools because your school was shutting down. The doors to the Great Hall opened and you walked towards the headmaster, Professor Dumbledore. You stood next to him as you introduced you. “Hogwarts! This is our new transfer student. Since the sorting hat is not currently available, she will reside with one house for a little bit before she is officially sorted.” Dumbledore called out, using a spell to amplify his voice. “Which houses would like to volunteer?” Hundreds of eyes stared at you and students murmured with each other.
