I was woke up by Professor McGonagal, it was 2 am. Hermione, Harry, Ron, and I stood in Professor Dumbledores office. "I gathered you all here today because the sorting hat has come to a decision." He told us, standing from the desk chair and getting the Sorting Hat off the shelf. "Ronald, please sit down." Ron sat down and got Gryffindor, Hermione went next then Harry, they all got Gryffindor. "Celeste. "As I stepped forward I didn't meet anyone's eye, I sat in the chair. The hat stayed silent.
This time it didn't say anything like it did the first time. "SLYTHERIN!" It yelled. I looked up my eyes wide and my jaw dropped. Ron, Harry, and Hermione stood there confused, looking horrified.
I took the hat off and placed it back on. "SLYTHERIN!" On, off, on, off. Each time it yelled Slytherin. My eyes flooded with tears. Why now? I was finally happy, why now?
"Professor what changed? Why am I a Slytherin now?" I asked, now sobbing. Dumbledore gave me a sympathetic smile.
"I believe Celeste, that the sorting hat made an error when placing you into Gryffindor." Its a stupid hate why are we listening to an old hat?? "Im sorry you're not happy with what the sorting hat has decided, but Celeste, not all wizards and witches in Slytherin are evil, its the decisions they make that choose their path."
I looked up at Harry and he gave me sympathetic eyes, he was fighting back tears. "You're belongings will be found in the Slytherin dormitories in the dungeon. The password is cunning. You are no longer a Gryffindor seeker, you will now be Slytherins new Seeker."
"I don't have a choice? I don't get to stay?" Dumbledore shakes his head. "It's what the sorting hat has chosen for you." I got up and ran out to the corridor, my breath felt short. What does Harry think? Does he hate me? What does Ron think? He probably thinks I'm evil now. Hermione's my best friend I can't lose her.
I sunk to the ground, I couldn't breath. Am I going to lose my brother because of the house I was placed in? All of a sudden i feel arms wrap around me, Harry next to me trying to get me to relax. Ron and Hermione kneeling down talking to me.
"D-do you guys hate me now" I stutter out, maybe I was over reacting but I see how much Ron hates Slytherins. I see how they treat others. I don't want to be like them.
"Of course not. We know you Celeste, you're our friend." Ron says, "And I'm your twin brother Cel, I could never hate you."
"Ron and Harry are right, Celeste. We know who you are and we know you aren't a bad person." Hermione adds. I get up, wiping the tears away. "I'm sorry, its just... I don't want to be a Slytherin, I want to be a Gryffindor. I want to be with you guys." Hermione and Ron hug me, "We want to be with you too, we can still hang out and everything, we just wont see each other in the common rooms anymore." Hermione says. The boys nodding.
"Lets get back to the common room, Celeste do you know where the dungeons are?" Harry ask, "Yes, I'll see you guys in the morning." We all part ways. I walk into the dungeons already knowing the password, a sense of loneliness washes over me as I make my way to the dormitories.
I find my belongings next to Daphne Greengrass. I sigh as I realize they'll hate me for being a Potter. I felt anxiety take over my body as to what'll happen in the morning. I laid down trying my best to fall asleep. Celeste, I hear Harrys voice, I sat up looking around, must've just been my imagination, I laid back down.
CELESTE! Okay what on earth is happening right now. "Harry?" I whispered trying not to wake the others around me. Think hard about wanting to talk to me, think very hard about it and just say something in your head. I sat up again thinking hard like he said. Can you hear me? I asked. Yes!!
How are we doing this? I questioned. I don't know we're a witch and a wizard who are twins. Must be a twin thing. He answered. I miss you. It's weird being here knowing this house hates me.
Cel you don't know that. Besides we asked Dumbledore if you can sit with us during meals and he agreed, so you can come with us anytime. You're not alone so don't worry about it. Thank you Harry. But I think I should sit with the Slytherins once, just to see how it'll go. I love you, goodnight.
Alright, we're here for you. Goodnight Cel, I love you too.
And that was the last thing I heard before sleep took over.
