Chapter 3| Sorting Hat

"We're ready for you" Professor   Mccgonnagol said. She leads everyone through two large doors and into the Great Hall, where there are four long tables with many kids, as well as floating candles. The roof appears to be the sky. "It's not real, the ceiling. It's just bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it in Hogwarts: A History" Hermione said. "All right, will you wait along here, please? Now, before we begin, Professor Dumbldedore would like to say a few words." Mccgonagol said

Dumbledore rises from the main . "I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. The first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch  has asked me to remind you that the 3rdfloor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you." Dumbledore said. "When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses. Hermione Granger." She said. "Oh, no. Okay, relax" Hermione said. "Mental that one, I'm telling you." Ron said.

Harry nods in agreement."Ah, right then...hmm...right. Okay...Gryffindor!!" The sorting hat yelled. I clapped for my sister as she sat down at the Gryffindor table. She had the biggest smile on her face. I wondered why I wasn't called right after Hermione but just shook it off thinking maybe it random.

"Draco Malfoy." Mccgonagol said.The tattered hat nearly freaks before touching down on Dracos head. "SLYTHERIN!" It yelled. "There isn't a witch or wizard who went bad who wasnt in Slytherin." Ron said

"Susan Bones." She called. A short red haired girl heads up to the seat. "Ahh!" Harry said holding his forehead. "Harry, what is it?" Ron and I asked. "Nothing...it's nothing, I'm fine." He replied.

I knew he wasn't fine because he looked very uncomfortable. "Let's see...I know...Hufflepuff!" The hat yelled. "Ronald Weasley" she yelled. Ron gulped as he walks up. He sits down and the hat is put on.

"Ah! Another Weasley. I know just where to put you...Gryffindor!!" The hat yelled. Ron sighed as he went back to his seat. I knew what the hat meant when I looked to see three red haired boys standing and cheering.
"Harry Potter." She called. Everything goes silent.

Harry walks up and sits down. I could see that he was fussing with the hat, and I heard some things like, Slytherin would be great for you, and then yelled "GRYFFINDOR!".  A few more kids were called up, as the next kid went up I saw i was the last standing there. "Oh My!" She said. I questioned until she said my name. "Y/N Riddle" she said.

I stood there and looked, "me?" I asked. "Yes child come on" she said grabbing my shoulder. "But my last name is Granger, that's wrong!" I protested. I didn't know why exactly she was so scared about it but she seemed nervous when I sat down. "We never mess up child, this is your last name" she said.

"Lets see... hmm a Riddle, your father is very famous you know" the hat said. "My dad is a dentist what're you talking about" I said. "If I might clear this up for you, you might want to ask some teachers about He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named"it said. "Well, what're you gonna do with me?" I asked. "I'm going to put you where you belong, SLYTHERIN!" It yelled.

Hermione, Ron, and Harry's eyes got very big. There was no cheering, the only cheering could be heard from the Slytherin table. "Come sit" Draco said patting a seat next to him. My heart beat got fast, I was shaking. "Ms. Riddle are you okay?" Mccgonagol asked.

"Yes, may I use the restroom?" I asked. "Yes, have your prefect take you" she said.  I ran beyond the Slytherin table and ran to the nearest corner. I found a restroom and just stood and looked at myself not knowing who I was. I then heard lots of laughing and decided to walk out because I was already confused didn't want to kill my brain with more confusion.

On my way back I ran into my prefect, she led me back in the great hall and sat me down next to Draco. "Don't worry you'll love us soon" he said placing his arm around me. I slapped him off and put my head down. I didn't eat at all and immeaditly went with my group to my room and slept.
