Chapter 5

"Hannah Abbott!" Professor McGonagall's voice echoes her Scottish ascent ringing around the room. A girl with blonde air steps through the crowd, Professor puts the hat on her head and it shout after about thirty seconds, "Hufflepuff!" Her tie changes to yellow and black everyone clasps politely well that is but Hufflepuff who are all on their feet cheering and patting her on the back. I zone out for a bit until McGonagall calls "Vincent Crabbe!" I watch as he lumpers up the three stairs to the stool the hat is placed on his head for twenty seconds before the hat bellows "Slytherin!" I smile at him and he nods wad dining over to the clapping Slytherins most people wouldn't think much of it but they all smile at the new comer and Crabbe gets it along with every going to be Slytherin watching, he was welcome and that's all that matters.

"Seamus Finnigan!" And the Scottish boy moves away from Cia's side and climbs the stairs happily, the hat hits his head and shouts "Gryffindor!" And quite the opposite of Slytherin all hell breaks loose at the Gryffindor table they all jump and smack his back shouting in joy but it quiets quickly and I zone out wondering what will happen if Cia was by some twist of fate get into Hufflepuff. I supress a snigger as "Gregory Goyle!" Was called he smiles stepping forward lightly, the hat is placed on his head for half the time it was on Crabbe's and it shouts "Slytherin!" I smile and Goyle gets the same welcome, he happily sits down talking to Crabbe quietly, their parents will be proud.

"Hermione Granger!" and the bushy haired mud-ggle born witch steps up nervously, the hat frowns for the first time and quietly calls out "Gryffindor!" as if uncertain, being the idiots they are Gryffindor don't notice and all scream at the top of their lungs, I notice that the table has very few girls must be a rarity for them. I smirk and go back to blankly staring forward, "Luna Lovegood!" a girl with platinum blonde hair steps forward and Draco whispers "She's my cousin, she's not completely here but she's very smart." And we all nod, she's an ally. "Ravenclaw." And Draco nods, a very respectable house. "Neville Longbottom." The boy nervously steps forward and deflates as the hat shouts "Gryffindor!" He gets up the hat still on his head and starts walking, but Professor grabs his robe and takes the hat off. It's quiet for a bit and I zone out till a shout of "Draco Malfoy!" wakes me up we all smile at him. No one whispers, if he doesn't get Slytherin he'll probably get Ravenclaw but still the idea to torture the Slytherin makes the Gryffindors eyes light up in an evil way, the hat brushes his head and shouts, "Slytherin!" He smirks nodding at us before heading toward the Slytherin table.

I zone out for a bit my heart racing, please let me be in Slytherin, "Theodor Nott!" I pat his back as he shakily steps forward, the hat sits on his head before smiling, "Slytherin!" Theo deflates smiling lightly nodding at us, I nod back smirking, ha-ha nice one Theo! I zone out breathing deeply trying to calm down, Blaise notices my nerves and smiles lightly, "I'm sure you're a Slytherin Harry." I smile back, I really want to be one most people wish Gryffindor but I never have I loved the idea of Slytherin even at a young age "Pansy Parkinson!" Her name cuts off my thoughts and I grimace, here we go. "Gryffindor." The hat sounds very uncertain and strained as if threatened. Gryffindor again not noticing scream, "another girl!" one girl shouts happily. "Cia Potter." It's even more quiet than with Draco, no one breathing the hat brushes his head and shouts, "Gryffindor!" Brother smiles from ear to ear and unlike before the Gryffindors go nuts! Some jump onto their chairs all screaming, it's insane. Blaise laughs quietly and whispers, "Your turn." I quiet downs but the Gryffindors are all smiling.

"Harry Potter." Everyone stares at me inspecting me they seem to think I'm the same as my brother I sigh sitting down worried, my heart beats quickly and the hat speaks guessing from to fact that no one else spoke, it telepathically. Hello, Harry! You seem strong with a good mind-set to, very loyal. Ahh here it is yes you have a very good set of brains not like your brother at all, yes your wands original owner thought the same, there is only power. Very well you'll do great in "Slytherin!" My heart skips a beat and I smirk at my brothers shocked face, we're nothing alike brother it's time you learnt that. I take the hat off and hand it over to the surprisingly smiling McGonagall and she whispers, "You're not your father. Please never take the same path because it's easy," and I smile whispering back. "Nothing's easy," before turning and walking away toward the Slytherin Table across from Draco next to Theo and I smile trying not to laugh with joy. One of the second years nod at me whispering, "Welcome little snake." I nod smirking and turn toward the hat as the hat shouts "Gryffindor!" From on top of Thomas's head, we clap politely watching with disgust as the Gryffindors all howl and pat his back. I zone out for the next couple of sorting's, "Ron Weasley." I snigger as he trips on his way up falling onto the chair he smiles at Professor McGonagall and the hat shouts "Gryffindor." Not surprised I don't even bother to clap.
