It was quite a long train ride if you asked me. I was very scared for the sorting ceremony. I saw myself as mostly a Hufflepuff, so if I don't make it in that house, I'd be very surprised. As I got off the boat, finally arriving at Hogwarts, I just had to admire the beauty of it. It was huge. I'm sure I'll get lost in here at least once.
I followed everyone into the Great Hall. I had to stay with the first years because technically, I am one. But it's easy for me to catch your eye because I'm a 14 year old surrounded by a bunch of 11 year old's. I'm sure I looked like a dork. I walked up the stairs, and I was stopped by an old lady.
"Hello," she said "I am professor McGonagall, now before you can take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. They're Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin." The only thing I really wanted was to not be sorted into Slytherin, because I could tell by the that boy acted towards what he calls "mud bloods" was much like a Slytherin attitude.
"They're ready for you. Follow me." We all did as we were told. We walked into the dining hall. Everyone, and I mean everyone's eyes were locked on us. They were looking at us like we were peasants. We made it to the front of the dining hall, and they started to call names.
"Alex Montgomery" McGonagall called out. I hesitated for a bit, but then I finally made my way up the small stage like platform. I sat down on the 3 legged stool, and the hat was placed on my head.
"Mhhm, very tricky now, brave like a Gryffindor, creative like a Ravenclaw, loyal like a Hufflepuff, you are a good leader, very cunning too. You're a tricky one...SLYTHERIN!"
My heart dropped at the words. I never thought of myself as a Slytherin. I'm not mean.
Or am I?
