Honestly, of all houses...Gryffindor? Alright so I suppose it DOES have its merits, but who wants to be known for being brave when you can be hardworking, smart, or even goshing power-hungry?
My thoughts continued spiralling, I really had to stop living in my head! In fact, I pondered over the idea of being a member of Gryffindor house until Professor McGonagall was right up in my face.
"Ms.Brown, are you feeling quite well? You must go join your house.", she said.
I was NOT quite well, I was DISAPPOINTED. But truly Gryffindor was better than no house at all. With a backwards glance at McGonagall, I walked right over to the Gryffindor table between two tall, ginger twins. They had quite silly faces, but I only looked at them for a second before falling into another one of my "moments of contemplation". I was brooding over the fact of our house colors, (I mean they weren't horrible, just a bit BLAND that's all.) when I heard Professor McGonagall call out;

He looked quite sweet with that anxious expression on his face. Sure, his hair could most definitely use some combing, but he looked fine I suppose. I watched him as his obviously clammy hands grasped the hat's brim and he thrust it right over his eyes.
Not even five seconds after he put the hat on, I saw the hat's mouth tear open as it let out a roar of, "GRYFFINDOR!".
Wonderful! He was in my house at least. He beamed at me as he sat down across from me and let out a pleased sigh. I beamed right back and looked up towards the raised Sorting Hat, the sorting was not yet over...
