"Carina Lupin!" McGonagall's voice echoed through the great hall. My head snapped up from my black shoes and I felt many eyes turn towards my nervous figure. I took a deep breath as I took my first stride to the head of the hall.
What if I don't get in Gryffindor? What if I got in Slytherin like my many ancestors? What would my future hold?
I glanced up at McGonagall's wrinkled features and she gave me a small smile before she placed the sorting hat on my head.
Ahhhhhhh, a Black I see? Haven't had one of you for a while. Let's get on with it then, hmmmmm curious, curious... Brains those strive for but not a priority I see.

You'd fit either Slytherin or Gryffindor to the 'T'. Hard choice that is, what do you think, child?
"Put me where I belong" I said in a whisper in reply

I felt a smile stretch upon my face as the hat left my head and the table dressed in red and gold jump to cheer. I looked to the teachers table to see my Uncle smiling at me.
I think I'm gonna like it here.
