So this was it? This was the time where he would be exposed to the hat and sorted into a house. His mother had been a Hufflepuff, though she herself had absolutely no idea why but his sister nagged him before he left to ask the hat to be sorted in Slytherin. She herself said its the 'best' house, Terry didn't have a preference and wouldn't mind which house he was sorted into, as long as there were friendly people and that his current friends wouldn't leave him because of what house he was in. But he was fairly sure they weren't that type of people.
"Terence Radley."
His head shot up as he realised he had been completely distracted this whole time and hadn't been paying attention to what was going on. It was his turn now to step up to the hat. He felt odd, being a second year amongst firsts but the even older students who had appeared made him feel more comfortable. He was only 12 and the reason he hadn't gone before was because his mother decided to keep him at home until things 'settled down'.
The hat was placed on his head and Terry tried to look up at it, only spotting the rim whilst he did. It's booming voice made him jump slightly.
Not a Gryffindor then.
Well no, Terry didn't consider himself to be brave. He wasn't a wuss but certain things, situations made him nervous. He probably wouldn't fit into Gryffindor at all really. That was one house down and three left to go.
His thoughts instantly went to his rat which he lost earlier. It wasn't his fault, she was scared of the dark and ran off. But it took him ages to find her again. He left a trail of her favourite food, cheese and she had followed him back home.
Wise. You could be a Ravenclaw.
He contemplated it for a few seconds. He wouldn't mind being a Ravenclaw, he had made a friend there after all. But he thought about his sister and how disappointed she would be. He wanted to be a Slytherin. He did! And the hat should know that.
Well if you insist that much..
SLYTHERIN!
It was that easy? Brilliant! He could go sit down at the table and keep his sister happy. It made him think that he had traits of all the houses. Loyalty, wisdom, he could even be cunning when he wanted to be. Obviously the hat had picked up on this. He headed towards the Slytherin table with his head held high, making sure to grin at his friends in the other houses first.
