Stepping up to the stool, Isaac looked around embarrassed slightly. He was one of the first to be sorted, and yet wasn't a first year. Taking a breath he put the hat on his head. Hufflepuff...Hufflepuff. He knew his mum wanted him to follow the family and be in the same house, and he wanted to make her proud. But yet...he wanted to find his place, where he belonged in the school too.

He could hear the hat speaking in his head saying that he shouldn't follow his mum just because he wanted to please her. But yet Isaac really didn't want to get a Howler either or a letter saying how disappointed they were that he wasn't in Hufflepuff. He was sure he'd get one!

Again the hat spoke You would do well in Slytherin. You're house isn't Hufflepuff. You need to find your own path. Sighing Isaac looked out at Amelia who was still waiting for her turn to come. He finally stopped arguing, and listened for the hats answer Alright then.

SLYTHERIN!

Sliding off the stool he replaced the hat and winking over at Amelia he headed for his table.
