Melanie took a deep breath. After the whole Hogwarts Express thing, she had almost forgotten about the sorting. So she stood there now, with the rest of the first years and transfer students, waiting to be called up. Nervously, she fiddled with her sleeve as the hat was placed on other people and their houses were called out. She didn't even know what house she was going to be in. All she knew was the symbols of the houses and that Slytherins were rumored to be evil. She knew what house she didn't want to be in - Slytherin. Their mascot was a snake and that was reason enough not to choose that house.

Then again... she wouldn't have much of a choice would she? Her brown eyes darted around the Great Hall, trying to distract herself when she heard her name being called out.

"Melanie Sung."

Oh. That was her. She took another deep breath. In... and out. In and out. The hat was just going to put her in a house that it felt was right for her - that was it. Slowly, Melanie walked up to the chair and took a seat as the hat was placed on her head. She supposed she would just wait then. The hat seemed a little silent though. Hmm... Maybe she could tell the hat what house she wanted to be in?

Is there a certain house you want to be in?

What was that? Melanie's eyes widened as she looked around. Oh... right... talking hat. She did want a talking hat one day.

You're a curious one, aren't you?

The hat was talking. Melanie wasn't sure if she was supposed to answer it or not either so she remained silent. She bit her lip, just waiting to be sorted. Couldn't it just get it over with? Sitting up here and waiting was making Melanie more nervous than she really ought to be. "Just don't put me in Slytherin... or Ravenclaw... let me be like... a Jigglypuff or something...." Melanie said quietly, fiddling with the sleeves again.

She thought she could hear the hat chuckle. It wasn't that she had anything against Slytherins or Ravenclaws... she just didn't like snakes... plus, Ravenclaws were smart and she was fairly certain she wasn't that smart. Plus, Jigglypuffs gave good hugs according to Queen Alice - which made her worry again about the girl's broken leg.

Well then... let's put you in... Gryffindor!

Eyes wide, Melanie felt the hat being lifted off her head. Gryffindor was the lion house. That was Queen Alice's house! Which meant she would be able to see Queen Alice in the common room thing and dress her up!!! The nervousness left immediately as she stood up from the chair and walked quickly over to her designated house. She was a Gryffindor now.
