It was time to get sorted. As they entered the great hall, you could almost feel the tension, and excitement of the kids waiting to get sorted. They sat far away from each other, mostly because the crowd brought them apart. Finally it started. The first couple people were Gryffindors, and one Ravenclaw. It was getting quite boring and both Kate and Slythia started to fall asleep.


“Augenstein Hannah”
Both of the girls shot up. They were wanting. And hoping they would all be in the same house.
Hannah paced up to the stool, and sat down. The Hat was placed on her head, and within a matter of just a couple seconds, The hat shouted “SLYTHERIN”
Hannah smirked, and went to where the other Slytherins were. Not that there were a lot.
Slythia, now being bored, started quietly talking to herself, but suddenly..
“Ashworth, Charlotte”
Slythia shot up again. Charlotte slowly walked up, but sped up after seeing all the stares. The hat was placed on her head, and after a few seconds, which was normal time, the hat shouted. “SLYTHERIN”
Slythia smiled. If that's what you call a half smirk, half, trying not to smirk face. It seemed all her friends were in Slytherin.
Now, unlike before, Slythia wasn’t hearing anyone that she cared about, so she drifted off to sleep. Around 10 minutes later, Slythia was awoken by the name
“Evans, Kate”
A couple whispers surfaced, and not to be rude, but Slythia couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Slythia watched Kate walk to the stool like a hawk watches its prey. Slythia could see Kate’s face getting redder and redder. In the distance, Slythia heard someone scream.
“Let's go Red!”
And Slythia chuckled, knowing that that was Kate’s nickname Kaitlynn had given her.
The hat was placed on Kate’s head.
Silence
It was about a minute later, You could just tell the Professors were worried for a hat stall, but then out of nowhere,
“HUFFLEPUFF” Slythia smiled, and clapped loudly.
Slythia now knew that there would be a major gap in between her and everyone else, so she decided to let her mind take over. Slythia grew worried. The nights she snuck out to go see her cousin, they would talk and talk. Her cousin would always say stuff like.
“You know Slythia, you are definitely a Ravenclaw or a Hufflepuff”
Slythia didn’t know what to do. Her mother would kill her! But, Slythia tried to shake it off, and just hope that her cousin was wrong. She knew her mother would be less mad if she got in any of those houses, it's just, if Slythia was put in Gryffindor, Her mother would have a cow! Slythia’s mind raced off to other things, when suddenly,
“Lestrange, Slythia”
Loud whispers emerged. Under her breath, Slythia mumbled.
“Oh yeah I totally can’t hear you.” Slythia knew a lot of people heard her, but she didn’t care.
Slythia sat on the stool, and the hat was placed on her head.
Meanwhile, Slytherin started to clap, but great looks of confusion came when the Hat didn’t house her in the normal time.but. Thats not what was going on.
“Hmmm” The hat said, to where only Slythia could hear.” I see, loyalty, wit, creativity,leadership, ambition, nerve” Slythia’s heart dropped after hearing the last one.
“Oh anything but Gryffindor.” She said, quietly.
“Oh no, not Gryffindor,” Slythia sat a little straighter.”hmm Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw,Slytherin”
“Hmmm a hard one indeed.”
“Determination, innovated,dedication,clever,logical” Slythia grew bored of what the Hat was saying. The whispers of the kids were now just plain talking about Slythia. Finally Slythia had enough. “WIll you just hurry up already?” She snapped at the hat.
“SLYTHERIN!” it shouted.
Slythia stomped her way to the Slytherin table, sitting next to Hannah, and waving at Charlotte. As Slythia walked by, she could hear Charlotte whisper
“Good job Lestrange.” and Slythia chuckled.
“Congrats Thia!” Hannah had said to Slythia.
“Congrats to you too?” Slythia said, in more of a question. She really didn’t know what to do in these situations. Slythia peered over to see if Kate was having a good time, only to see Kate crying. When Kate noticed Slythia looking, Kate hid her face.
