Before Harry Potter

Sorting hat

When chase caught his first glimpse of hog warts he didn't know what to expect. They unloaded there things. Chase, who still had landron on his shoulder, waited silently with Sarah, who was off in her thoughts. Probably thinking of a punishment for Able, chase thought. "All ye first years follow me," said a man who looked like he should rather be making professional wrestlers run for there mums. All the first years followed in a large group behind the man, trying to contain there excitement. They entered a large room with stars glinting on the ceiling. Landron, who hated large crowds, clicked his beak nervously. "Wow! " Sarah exclaimed. "Did you know the ceiling is bewitched to look like the sky outside? I never though I would see it in person." She added. They stood in a large group talking excitedly about what house they'd want to be in. Suddenly blue sparks flew up in the air, silencing the crowd. In front of them they saw a old ratty hat sitting on a three legged stool. A woman stood next to it. " hello. Young students, I am professor Blaze, your defence against dark arts teacher for this year. " she said. She had wild, red mane of hair with steam punk goggles resting on top her head. Her blue eyes held what chase thought was uneasiness but it might have been the gadget she was holding that was fizzing with sparks. "Now, when we call your name, come up and put on the sorting hat. Ok, umm, Dashing Bewitched." She called. The boy behind chase tensed and began to walk to the front. He sat on the stool and the hat was placed on his head. A moment later the hat shouted "Slytherin!" Chase felt his heart race as kids where called out. finally chases name was called. he passed Landron over to Sarah and walked to the front. he sat on the stool as the hat was placed on his head. it felt like eternity but finally the hat had an answer. "gryphendor!" The hat boomed. the whole gryphendor table cheered loudly. he took Landron from Sarah and sat down at the gryphendor table, getting pats on the back and getting his hair ruffled. Sarah got put in the ravenclaw house just as an owl as black as night, and so tiny it could fit in the palm of his hand flew in. " finally, what took you so long you worthless thing?" Chase heard Sarah say through the crowd. "your lucky the feast is fixing to begin, now go to the owlery." she added. soon enough the feast did begin. mountains of sandwiches and deserts appeared magically in front of them. Chase had never been happier in his life.
