Disgust-A-Fide

Difficult, Very Difficult...

The sky was dark above hundreds of tiny bouts, new Hogwarts students murmuring, and absolutely buzzing with excitement.

"Elphaba," Luna said quietly, "what house do you hope to be sorted into?"

Elphaba thought about it for a moment before answering, "I'm not sure. I just hope the house colors don't clash. Although, of course my farther wants me to be sorted into Slytherin. " She said, Luna nodding as she spoke, "What about you?"

"I'm not sure, either. But I heard that the Slytherin common room has a colony of Nirgles."

The two eleven year old girls fallowed the group through the castle and into the dining hall. Luna staid close to Elphaba, while Elphaba glared at anyone who looked at the two of them strangely.

As Elphaba was looking around, she spotted the red haired boy she'd seen at the train station. The boy turned around, quickly spotting her.

His eyes went wide before he looked down at the floor.

An old looking woman walked in front of the group of first years. She explained that there are four houses:
Gryffindor,
Hufflepuff,
Ravenclaw,
and Slytherin.

She soon began calling out names. One by one, students walked up to the sorting hat.

Elphaba watched the red haired boy get sorted into Gryffindor, along with a frizzy haired girl.

"Thropp, Elphaba!" Professor Mcgonagall called, looking up from her scroll to glance around the room.

"Good luck," Luna whispered encouragingly, smiling softly.

Elphaba slowly made her way to the front of the group. Other first years moved out of her way as she walked by.

The students-old and new-gasped as the sorting had was placed on her head, getting a good view of her unique...complexion.

"I didn't think they allowed plants at Hogwarts." A short blonde said loudly.

Half the students started to stifle laughter.
Elphaba simply rolled her eyes.

"Hm...difficult," the sorting hat began thoughtfully, "a quick wit, prideful, ambitious... loyal-"

Not Slytherin. Please, not Slytherin-

"Not Slytherin?" The sorting hat said loudly, interrupting her thoughts, " 'Thropp' wasn't it?"

Elphaba bit the inside of her cheek.

A small boy in the crowd watched her. He had round classes, bright green eyes, and a very noticeable scar.
Why doesn't she want Slytherin? Is it really the bad house?

"Alright," the sorting hat yelled, "Hufflepuff!"

The sorting hat was lifted from her head, and there were hesitant cheers from the students. Except for Luna, who was clapping loudly for her friend.

Elphaba saw Fred and George at the Gryffindor table, giving her exited thumbs up and cheering happily, very loudly, but happily.

"Upland, Glinda!" Professor Mcgonagall called.

The small blonde walked forward quickly, "Actually, Professor, it's 'Galinda', with a 'Ga'." The blonde girl corrected.

Elphaba could've sworn she saw Mcgonagall roll her eyes.

The hat was barely put on her head before it came to a conclusion:

"Slytherin!" It yelled.

The Slytherin table cheered loudly as the blonde skipped over.

The rest of the sorting was pretty uninteresting. Elphaba made sure to cheer loudly for Luna, but besides that, she stayed pretty quite.

"Elphaba," Luna said during the feast.

She had walked over to the Hufflepuff table, and was now standing behind Elphaba.

Elphaba turned around. She had a confused expression until she saw Luna.

"Congratulations on getting into Hufflepuff. It suits you very well." Luna said, giving Elphaba a smile.

"Thank you, Luna. Congratulations on getting Ravenclaw." Elphaba response, spinning in her seat a bit.

"Thank you. I'm going to head back to my table, now; I want to finish my pudding." Luna said, walking away shortly after.

Elphaba turned back towards the table, a bit flustered by Luna's sudden exit.

Now all she could do was finish her food. Than, hope a Howler with her name on it wouldn't arrive.
