Y/N
Hogwarts seems nice enough, definitely not as big as Beauxbatons, and more old school looking, but it seems homely I suppose. When we got inside everyone went straight to this huge room called The Great Hall, we had one similar at Beauxbatons, but we just call it the BBR, or 'Beauxbatons' Big Room', original right?
Inside I'm greeted by a familiar face, Professor Dumbledore. He seems nice enough, but at my enrolment meeting he kept giving me the hebee jebees. He leads me up to the front and shows me to my seat next to a few other students. I can see why they call it The Great Hall, from here I can see everyone's every move, and it's pretty great. I'm watching as everyone chatters and hugs and finds their seats. I spot the same trio of kids from the train, but this time there's a red headed girl with them also. She not with them long, she goes to sit further down the table, so I'm guessing she's probably younger, maybe the ginger boy's sister?
'Attention everyone!', Professor Dumbledore's booming voice catches me off guard mid people watching. I'm pretty sure he must have made me jump, because when I look over at Theo and Enzo they're snickering in my direction. I give them both a stare, Enzo stops himself from laughing and gives me one right back; and Theo gives me a thumbs up. I missed what else Dumbledore said while lost in my thoughts but eventually he called up the first student for hat sorting.
The first three kids took 50 minutes total to just get sorted, and let me tell you, that's a bore and a half. When I got called up I nearly fell over from being so tired of sitting through it all, luckily no one saw my slight trip, well no one except the tall dark haired profession who seems to be holding back a similar snicker to the one my brother was letting our before. When I look to the front and take a seat people give me an applause like the kids before me. Theo and his mates all give me a cheer, clapping and yelling louder than the rest, all expect Astoria, I smile and give them a wave. Someone wolf whistles and I swear I watch Theo's face change in slow motion while he turns to try and find the person he's most likely going to beat up later.
The hat gets placed on my head, and I hope that it makes it's mind up quick so I this assembly shit can be over and done with.
'Ah.. Y/N Nott...', the hat starts.
'What an interesting young lady you are... Clever, witty, kindhearted, brave, ambitious, loyal... and gosh, you could really be placed in any house and fit in I'm sure of it', the hat continues, and I can't help but be embarrassed.
'Hmmm... I'm thinking Slytherin, like your brother...', a few people whistle and clap, probably Theo again.
'NO! You're Hufflepuff, I'm sure of it!', and while I'm not surprised about being Hufflepuff, I'm definitely surprised by the switch up.
A few people shout; I hear one girl yell out, 'How could it say Slytherin THAN Hufflepuff! They're so different!', I try to track down who the shout came from but can't find her among the crowd. But she's right, they are two very different houses. And just when Professor Dumbledore is about to remove the hat it let's out a screeching sound.
'Wait! I must not leave you without an explanation', ah right, surely this will explain the switch. 'You are a tricky girl Y/N Nott, full of secrets. Your skin is thick and is built like a Slytherins', feisty and cold, but underneath, there is no denying who you actually are', and as much as I hate to admit it I know it's right.
THEO
It's Y/N's turn to get sorted. We've been sitting here for way to long, and even Draco has drifted off onto Astoria's shoulder, she looks delighted for once in her life and I'm sure he'll be happy to hear all about just how awesomely, perfectly, cute he looked while drooling on her new jumper. Y/N sits down and Enzo and I let out a cheer for her, Draco wakes up and immediately starts clapping, obviously with no idea what's going on. I hear someone whistle as she smiles at Dumble-dick and I try to pick out who it was so I can give them a strong talking to later on.
