 Sardines ♥ // Nomsy, yo
Jake was... nervous, to tell the truth. Although he didn't know why. He'd read as much as he could about the sorting hat and the Hogwarts houses, so he should have probably been totally prepared to be sorted. But, he wasn't. So when his name was called, it was called too soon.
"Keller, Jacob."
Jake nodded to himself and made his way up to the stool. He kept his head high, determined to look big and brave in front of all the first years that were being sorted, too. He felt the hat lower onto his head, though, and he closed his eyes.
"Ah."
The voice in his head made Jake jump slightly. He hadn't read about that.
"Interesting head you have here. Very interesting... clever, indeed..."
Jake frowned. "Thanks?" Was he supposed to talk to the hat? Could it hear him?
"No..."
Huh. It sounded thoughtful. Jake bit his lip and looked up at the underside of the hat. Get on with it, please? He was really nervous now.
"Mmm... alright... alright... Gryffindor!!"
Instantly, Jake's face lit up in a huge grin. He jumped off the stool as soon as the hat was lifted off his head. "Thanks!" He called back to it, then jogged over to the table that was currently cheering for him. Gryffindor!! With Anya and Penelope and Alice and... Tag. Lovely. |
