Closed Exclusive Membership

[Jenna Irons]

Jenna had been thrilled ever since she and Celia came up with the idea for the Elite Sisterhood. Finally, a group that was actually worthy of her time. They had already asked all the cool girls in school to join, and after exhausting their own friend lists, Jenna and Celia had agreed to take applications from girls they didn't know. Hopefully there would be some hidden gems among the Hogwarts population, worthy of welcoming into their ranks. But of course, not without proper vetting.

Jenna had set up a table in the corner of the Student Lounge for them, and invited any girls who were interested to come along and see if they could measure up to the Elite Sisterhood's standards. She had made it as official as possible, parchment and quills set up so that she and Celia could take notes, and a little nameplate for each of them sitting on the desk, Jenna's mum having helped her make them over the holidays. Jenna Irons, President. It felt good to read, better than it ever would have if the losers in Heta Omega recognised her greatness. Celia had one too, and Jenna was pleased that the younger girl hadn't fought for a higher rank. Celia Vuong, Vice-President. It was exactly the power structure Jenna had hoped for, and she sat comfortably as she waited for their first interviewee to show up.

 

[Celia Vuong]

It had taken some work, but the Elite Sisterhood was finally underway. For a while, Celia had been worried the idea would remain just that — an idea, a wish, a hypothetical — but now, it was actually going to be a reality. There would finally be a club with actual standards at this school, and best of all, it would be because of her work. The whole experience had been a revelation of sorts. Why wait around for someone to give her a leadership position when she could create her own club and make her own title? Of course, Celia would have much preferred the title of "Co-President," but as long as she had the all-important "Co-Founder," she would be fine. Besides, she was basically guaranteed the presidency once Jenna graduated, if not sooner.

Celia picked up her quill, more than ready to judge her peers. As they waited for the first girl to arrive, she passed a copy of last year's yearbook to Jenna. "I looked up the first few girls we're interviewing," she said, keeping her voice low so as not to be overheard. "They seem promising. Decent sense of style. Fairly involved in clubs." Finding information about their potential new members would have been much easier if she had access to the internet and her favorite social media sites, but the magical world was still stuck in the Middle Ages. So she'd had to make do. The old yearbooks had been helpful, but they couldn't give a complete picture of the applicants. That's what the interviews were for.

 

[Maisie Morvay]

Maisie had been pretty excited to learn there was another club opening up. Especially when she found out that it was a club you had to have permission to join. That seemed like a great idea! You got to know everyone in the club before even joining, and it was smaller so it made it easier to be friends! She hummed happily, skipping into the room in one of her cutest outfits. Her dad had helped her design it, and she'd made all the jewelry herself, loving the Rhodochrosite gem she'd crafted into a pretty necklace. She smiled brightly as she saw the girls and skipped over. "Hi! I'm Maisie! I'm here for the club interview?" She asked, looking between them.

 

[Molly Burke]

When Molly had heard that there was another club, the Hufflepuff knew that she had to at least try and get in. Though she realised that this was more of an exclusive sort of club, which made her more determined to try and join the club. Molly also knew she had to dress to impress and wore an outfit she thought would hopefully impress the presidents of this club. The young Hufflepuff skipped happily towards the student lounge where the interview was taking place. When Molly had reached the room, she smiled happily when she noticed that it looked like she had arrived at the right place. "Hi! I'm Molly. This is the club interview right?" Molly says with a smile and a small giggle.
