"-Hufflepuff!" Cried the sorting hat

Wait really t-that's amazing!

The table closest to the left side of the twin oak doors erupts in cheers and applauds. Why so much excitement for me?

As I skip to the Hufflepuff table I look for familiar faces but seeing as most people I know have names that are after mine, I don't know anyone here.

People greet me, and ask random questions about me but I listen to the list waiting for someone I know to be called.

Loinis was the last L name that means Celeste is next oh I hope she gets Ravenclaw. She strikes me as a particularly witty person.

"Celeste Malfoy!" Cries Headmistress McGonagall.

She walks up slowly but surely with an identical smirk that I saw on Scorpius Malfoy earlier on the train. Hhhmmm maybe it's a Malfoy trademark.

Must have been at least 5 minutes until the hat showed any sort of movement.

"Slytherin!" Yelled the hat but I'm sure I heard doubt in his voice.

Celeste slowly walks down to sit at the cheering table to my left as I move to the other side of the side to talk easily.

"Are you okay there Celeste? You look confused." I ask in a worried tone.

"Yeah fine but I guess I have a question to ask you. If you don't mind of course?" She whispers while tilting her head to my left.

"Sure ask away."

"Why did the sorting hat ask me about you while I was being sorted?" She looks at me with curiosity in her eyes.

"Maybe he wanted to find out more about what kind of person you are. He asked me about lots of different things." I half-lie while shrugging my shoulders.

"Yeah maybe...." She sighs while looking down.

"Why are you sad you got a good house, a great school, and me you're cool new best friend!" I say while fake punching her on the arm.

"I've been hit tell Scorpius I hid the money uder the...." She sighs while clutching her "wounded" arm, faking her death.

"Hid the money where little sister?" Asks a curious Scorpius grinning at her wildly.

"Nope too late I'm already dead!" She says in a wisper.

"Well then I guess I'm not happy you're in Slytherin then." He pouts. Looking adorable while doing so... Wait what I do not like my friends older brother!

"Lily Potter!"

My head whips towards the stage where Lily now sits shushing the siblings while staring intently at her.

A few seconds go by and the hat shouts.

"Gryffindor!" If it was even possible Gryffindor yells even louder then when I was sorted into Hufflepuff I also hear someone cheering from the Slytherin table.

I turn and look at Albus who's clapping and cheering for Lily despite being in different houses.

I continue clapping politely as I was disappointed that we weren't in the same house.

Lily looked my way while mouthing the words "I did it!" Her eyes were so cheerful and it looked like she was going to bounce up and down forever.

I put two thumbs up for her smiling as she sat down.
