"Courage of a Gryffindor's, the intelligence of a Ravenclaw, ambition of a Slytherin, and the kindness and loyalty of a Hufflepuff. Ah.. a hard one you are..." The Sorting Hat said in my ear.
I swelled with happiness- the Sorting Hat thought that I was fit for any and every House! That must be some sort of record.. Wow!
I didn't care which House I was in, because I knew all of the Houses were great choices. My Mum actually, is a Slytherin, and my Dad is a Gryffindor. This is why I didn't care which House I would end up in. Every House has good qualities, and traits. I didn't agree with all of that Slytherin rubbish about how Slytherins are all evil. I mean.. Albus Potter, who got Sorted right before me went to Slytherin, and I'm sure he isn't evil at all. My Mum is amazing, and she's a Slytherin. Both of my parents are Auror's, Dark wizard catchers, so obviously my Mum is a good witch, not evil. And although it didn't matter to me which House I would go in, I wanted to be in Gryffindor. Gryffindor is the House of the brave. Most Auror's are Gryffindors because of that. And my life's ambition was to become an Auror. I was thinking of all of this while the Sorting Hat continued to Hat Stall.
"Hm.. you're difficult.." It whispered in my ear. "But your right.. Very brave you are, wanting to be an Auror.. And so.. You shall be in-"
"GRYFFINDOR!" The Hat shouted to all of the Great Hall. I grinned and jogged happily down to the Gryffindor table, and sat down. I watched as other students got Sorted, I clapped loudly as a boy got Sorted into Gryffindor, and I saw a red-head bobbing excitedly. That was Rose Weasley. Me and Rose had sitten in the same compartment on the Hogwarts Express, and had talked to each other during the ride. I liked Rose, she was nice, but.. She was.. A bit- er- full of herself. I know that I'm smart, but she was a know-it-all that's for sure. She also talked about how her cousin Albus Potter had sat with Scorpius Malfoy on the train. She kept talking about how Slytherins were bad, and how we shouldn't mix with evil people. I certainly didn't like that-
"I mean, come ON! He really should have listened with me instead of going and sitting with a Malfoy. I mean Merlin's sake, next thing you know, he'll be in Slytherin himself, the way he's acting!" Rose said indignantly.
"Oh.. uh, well not all Slytherins are bad. My Mum's-" I began.
"Yeah I know not all of them are bad, but seriously, that Malfoy is evil that's for sure. His whole family were Death Eaters!" Rose interrupted.
And before I could reply, (I was ready to lash out on her for prejudice by then) the door blasted open, and black billowing smoke filled the compartment.
"AH!" Rose squealed.
"Wha- Lumos." I said, waving my wand. My wand lighted up the compartment, revealing a terrified looking Rose, and a wheezing boy.
"Best prank ever- should have seen your face Rose-" A boy with messy black hair and hazel eyes said, laughing.
I glanced at the burned black compartment door, and blazed with anger.
"What in the name Merlin's pants was THAT?! YOU JUST BLASTED THE DOOR- LOOK AT IT!" I shout at the boy.
"Woah woah woah, calm down, ickle one, there's something you should know. I'm James Potter, and I am the prankster at Hogwarts, and I just thought it would be funny to prank some first year students who were expecting nothing." Potter said cooly.
