Chapter 2: The Sorting Hat

As I make my way over to Professor McGonagall, because she's the one holding the Sorting Hat, I hear whispers around me.

"Who is she?"

"Is she a first year?"

"No she must be older..."

"She looks tall."

"Why is she being sorted?"

While I'm listening to what students are saying, I almost trip. Great, just great. Gotta love being clumsy. When I'm finally standing in front of Professor McGonagall, she gestures me to take a seat on the stool. Of course I do as she says and I sit down. She puts the hat on my head and releases it. As soon as the hat touches my hair, it starts talking.

"Ah, a fourth year I see? You must be from Ilvermorny, no?"

I nod.

"I see. Hmmm, you're a very bright witch, but studying is not your best quality. Hufflepuff perhaps? You do have a loyal and kind heart... Ah but I see you are very brave and chivalrous. Gryffindor would be the perfect House for you."

I smile.

"I see you like Gryffindor, but Slytherin would be a great match for you too. You are very ambitious after all..."

When the Sorting Hat mentions Slytherin, I see the blonde boy smiling full of hope. As if he wants me to be sorted into Slytherin... Without me noticing at first, I smile back. Short after I realize what I've just done, my heart starts beating faster.

"Well, well, well, you've already made connections with Slytherin, huh? Let me think..."

The Sorting Hat starts to think and it feels like ages. After what must be at least 5 minutes, I hold my breath as it says:

"Better be... GRYFFINDOR!"

The red and gold table starts to clap and cheer and I quickly make my way over to the Gryffindors. There's a free spot next to a girl who appears to be my age, so I go over there and sit down.

"Hi, I'm Hermione Granger. What's your name?"

She says whilst holding out her hand. I shake her hand and introduce myself.

"I'm (Y/N)(L/N), nice to meet you!"

She smiles. A red haired boy seated next to The Boy Who Lived, holds out his hand as well.

"Hi! I'm Ron Weasley! And this is... well, you probably know who this is..."

I smile and shake his hand.

"I do, Harry Potter, right?"

He smiles, nods and shakes my hand.

"Welcome to Gryffindor!" Harry says.

Draco's p.o.v.

"Better be... GRYFFINDOR!"

No no no no no no no!! This can't be! He said she would be such a great fit for Slytherin! This is just great, now she'll befriend Potter, Weasley and Granger. Amazing! They're shaking hands already! Of course this had to happen, I'm never lucky...

Wonderful start of my 4th year at Hogwarts...
