Summers at The Burrow - Fred Weasley

Chapter Five - A Big Fat Disappointment

The crowd of first years walked between the two tables and arrived in front of the staff table where the sorting hat was placed on a stool. I would get sorted soon since my last name started with a B. I was psyching myself out because everyone was about to find out who I really was. The only thing I could do is hope I was like my father and got into Gryffindor.

"Black, Chloe!" Professor McGonagall called out after a few names had been sorted.

The room quieted down with subtle whispers about my name as I stepped forward from the crowd and sat on the bench. Professor McGonagall placed the sorting hat on my head.

"Hmm, your just like your father." The sorting hat began with a snarl. "Gryffindor!"

Relief flooded through my whole body as the Gryffindors cheered and the Slytherins gasped. They must have thought being a black would automatically put me in Slytherin.

I hurried to the table and greeted Percy then sat in a spot with lots of space for Fred and George to sit when they get sorted.

The sorting went on for a while and Lee was sat beside we as we waited for the twins to finally get sorted.

"Weasley, Fred!"

"Weasley number four. better be Gryffindor!" The hat said in a condiscending tone as Lee and I cheered the loudest from the Gryffindor table.

"Weasley, George!"

"Great. There's two of you. Gryffindor!" The hat was getting more annoyed the more children he had to sort.

George hurried over to the table and we each high fived him. George sat down next to this girl in our year named Angelina Johnson. We saw him blush slightly before he turned back to us. The three of us were smirking at him and he blushed even harder at the thought that we had noticed.

"Oh shove off." He said angrily and we backed off.

A few minutes later the food appeared on the table and we piled our plates with food scarfing down as much as we could in the time before we had to go up to the common room.

Once we were absolutely stuffed to capacity the prefects all stood up and announced that all the first years should come to the front to be lead to the common room while the rest of them would follow.

We ran to the front with the rest of the first years and walked to the common room where the prefect announced the password to the fat lady and the portrait swung open. Everyone flooded in and many of the older students went straight up to their dorms while the younger ones stayed in the common room exploring. I told Fred and George that I was going to change into my pajamas then went up the stairs to the girls dormitories.

Once I changed into my usual pajamas I was going to take my hair out but ultimately decided to wrap the braid into a bun and pin in up using my wand.

By the time I had unpacked and settled in my dorm mates had entered and introduced themselves. Angelina Johnson was in my dorm as well as a girl named Alecia spinnett. There was one other girl in my dorm but as soon as I introduced myself as Chloe Black she mumbled something that sounded like an insult because Angelina fired back in an instant causing the girl to hide in the bathroom.

I became fast friends with Angelina and Alecia and they even came down with me to meet back up with Fred and George. The six of us became good friends that night but Fred, George, Lee and I would probably hang out more just the four of us just because the girls weren't keen on our trouble-making.

The four of us were joking around when George pulled my wand out of my hair causing my braid to fall out. I snatched my wand back but not before Angelina had a chance to ask about my hair.
