Sorting
Looking up, I see the starry sky, as if there was no ceiling. Behind me was 2 identical red heads, laughing and joking around. I blush slightly and run to catch up with the girl in front of me.
We start making conversation, and although you wouldn't think it, thanks to her mean appearance, she is really shy and sweet.
I see a tattered old hat perched on a stool and all the older students watching it as if expecting something. Then a rip opened and it began to sing.
"Welcome to Hogwarts!
Home to Witches and Warlocks
There are 4 houses begin with first.
Gryffindor for the Brave
Daring and Chivalrous
Hufflepuff are kind
Hard Working and Loyal
Ravenclaw for the Smart
Witty and Thoughtful.
Creative too.
Slytherin for the Cunning
Sly and Ambitious.
Which is the house for you?
Put me on your head
No need to talk
For I can see
And this hat sees all!"
Everyone started clapping and a lady with black hair in a tight bun started calling out names.
"Barkley, Cassandra!"
A few moments pass and then...
"Ravenclaw!"
"Bantanta, Alexander!"
Straight away comes....
"Hufflepuff!"
I start daydreaming until I hear my name.
"Shall, Lizzy!"
I walk up and put the hat on my head and it goes pitch black.
"Hmmm. You definitely have some Ravenclaw wit. And some Gryffindor courage. But where to go? I think I have decided." It paused and shouted out the last word:
"GRYFFINDOR!"
I walk to a clapping table which I think is Gryffindor. I sit and see a girl with icy blue eyes looked up at me. It looked as though she had been crying.
"What's wrong?" I ask sympathetically.
"My-My older brother. H-He died from You know who." She replied shakily. "I- I'm J- Jessie Salina."
"Hi. I'm Lizzy Shall."
Just then I hear the shout of Gryffindor and a red headed boy with loads of freckles walked to our table.
"Fred Weasley at your service Madam." He says, bowing. Me and Jessie look at each other and burst into a fit of giggles. I see someone sitting next to us, he looks just like Fred.
I look at both of them.
"Lizzy Shall. Fred, I declare you my servant for the rest of the night."
They both nod. I roll my eyes and mutter, "twins."
"I'm Fred. You're George." They say simultaneously.
"No. You're Fred." I said, pointing at the left, "And you're George." I add, whilst moving my hand to the right.
They both pull a shocked face and whispered. I think they said something about how did I know.
"I knew because, well it's pretty obvious, you're both wearing jumpers with your initials on them." I explain, feeling like they aren't that smart.
I couldn't be more wrong...
