A few days later was Philanthropy Round!

I waited anxiously to see what houses I was asked back to. I was super nervous because seeing as it was my second time through I didn't know what to expect. Adding to this I was regretting that I ranked Hermione Granger over [COLOR="rgb(153, 50, 204)"]Draco Malfoy[/COLOR]

When I opened my name tag I saw I was invited back to the max amount of four houses:

Hermione Granger
Ron Weasley
Luna Lovegood
Harry Potter

I was incredibly happy with my results and eager to go see all the houses.

First was Hermione Granger. I was happy to go back seeing as I had regretted ranking them as low as I did. I was excited to hear about their philanthropy because it was something very close to my heart. We watched a video on the philanthropy and did a little craft. I also go to go on a tour of the house which was gorgeous. I left thinking it might be somewhere I'd want to pref.

After that I went to Ron Weasley. I was very excited to go back this house because I had had such a positive experience there last year. When I got there I did not have nearly as good of an experience. While I do enjoy their philanthropy, I didn't click with any of the girls I talked to as well as I did at sisterhood rounds and I left with the feeling that I wouldn't fit in well with the chapter. I left thinking this was not somewhere I would prefer to go back to.

Next I went to Luna Lovegood. I was by far the most nervous to go to this house. After my awkward experience on Sunday I did not know what I would be walking into. I had a much better experience this day. I talked to some girls I had already known and I left in a better mood than sisterhood, but still not sure how I felt.

After this I went to Harry Potter. I did not expect much going here but I ended up having incredible conversations with the girls there. We watched an adorable video and I felt like I was laughing the whole time. I left confused because this was not a place that i thought I would want to go back to.


After all this I had to have a long talk with my rho gamma about what I wanted and whether I felt like I needed a "fresh start" this year. I did not really know how to rank and I just had faith that the system would work it out for me.

I ranked:

Harry Potter
and then Luna Lovegood and Hermione Granger pretty much tied in my mind.

At this point I was incredibly stressed that I did not have a crystal clear view of what I wanted.
