3- sorting

Hogwarts was absolutely amazing, we were walking into the great hall when I had seen professor McGonagall give me a small wave from the side. We were walking in pairs, me with Hermione and Ron with Harry. Hermione was telling me about how the ceiling was bewitched to look like the night sky. I really do love magic. Finally the time had come, the sorting. I was so excited, but nervous to get Slytherin. I was worried that my new friends wouldn't want to be friends with me if I was put in Slytherin. Hermione had obviously understood that I was worried as she held my hand and gave me a soft smile.

One by one students were called up by professor McGonagall  to the sorting hat.

"Harry potter"

A few murmurs went around the room and I heard some gasps which made me slightly confused but I just decided to ignore it as I was to excited about the sorting. Harry walked up to the chair as the sorting hat was placed on his head.

"Difficult, very difficult" the hat began " I see bravery but also I can see that you are cunning, better be GRYFFINDOR"

A roar was heard from the Gryffindor table as Harry walked down giving me a thumbs up and a smile.

"Ronald Weasley"

"Ah another Weasley, I know just what to do with you, GRYFFINDOR"

And yet again the table roared with cheers.

"Hermione Granger"

" let's see what we have here, I see smarts but also bravery and loyalty, better be GRYFFINDOR"

Hermione walked down from the chair and walked towards the table. Giving my hand a squeeze as she walked past me. Great all of my friends were in Gryffindor and I bet with my luck I'll be different.

"Holly Black"

I slowly walked up to the chair as I saw professor Dumbledore give me a nod and a smile. I sat down on the chair and I looked over at my friends smiling at me from the Gryffindor table. The hat didn't say anything from a while which made me confused, I looked over to professor McGonagall who also looked confused, she was looking at Dumbledore which made me kind of scared. A sudden voice made me jump in the seat.

"Hah the hat can't even sort her, this muggle girl doesn't belong at hogwarts, plus knowing her fathers history I wouldn't allow her in hogwarts in the first place"

I was looking for the voice but couldn't find it's owner. How come he knew my father when I didn't?

"That's quite enough Mr Malfoy" professor McGonagall barked into the group of students.

Finally after a painful wait the sorting hat started to speak. A sigh of relief left my mouth.

"Well I see, I can't think where to put you," Professor McGonagall had a worried look on her face "you have great potential to be a strong witch but can also be dangerous, well maybe I know where to put you" I started whispering under my breath " not Slytherin please not Slytherin."

"Not Slytherin aye?" The hat began talking again "well if not Slytherin better be GRYFFINDOR." I felt a heavy weight pull off my shoulders I was in the house with my friends. I was so happy. I gave professor McGonagall a happy smile as I knew she was going to be my head of house. Dumbledore raised his glass and gave me a wink before I stepped down the steps walking/ running towards my friends. Harry Ron and Hermione all stood up, I hugged Hermione and then Ron and then finally harry. Let's just say our hug was really awkward he needs hugging lessons. I'm finally starting my hogwarts journey and I couldn't be more nervous.
