chose the house yourself!"

Everyone went dead silent before whispers of disbelief filled the hall. Professor McGonagall yanked the hat off Amelia's head and looked at it.

"What do you mean chose for herself? She is a child you are the sorting hat."

The hat opened its mouth.

"You try and sort her then. She embodies all of the houses equally and would do fine in either one of them. It is my job to place students into what house they would do best in but if a student were to do good in all four then they should choose for themselves. "

Amelia sat awkwardly on the stool waiting to see what would happen next. Professor McGonagall sighed and set the hat down and walked over to Amelia.

"Miss Potter it is your choice."

Amelia sat up and looked around the tables of the hall. At Gryffindod there was Neville and Hermione and even her brother who knew nothing about her, but there were also those annoying boys that threw a spider at her although they did seem fun. At Slytherin on the other side of the hall where the three boys they helped were all chatting happily although no one else at the table looked too pleased. At Hufflepuff were many strange faces she didn't know but all of them had big smiles and happy grins. Lastly, Ravenclaw no one she knew was there at the table didn't seem too happy or sad theyseemed to all be staring at her waiting to see what she would say.

Amelia whied the odds. On one hand, there was a table with the two only friends she had made a girl with bushy hair bigteeth, and a boy who could make good use of an apple air-tag and a small cooller. Amelia wanted to be in every house for they all seemed to be a good fit.

Then she remembered it was her choice she could do whatever she wanted. She turned to Professor McGonagall. "How many terms are there?"
