please don't let me be miunderstood "Abbott, Leah!" Urgh. Why was Leah's name one of the first to be called out? She hated being the first. It made her nervous. "Take a deep breath, and don't be nervous." The girl muttered to herself and walked out slowly to the stool.
The Sorting Hat was huge for her, and it fell right over her eyes. All the nervous girl could see was the black inside of the Hat. It was old and battered compared to her brand new pointed hat. Leah jumped up at a sound in her ears. "Hmm, an Abbott, eh? Yes, you are loyal like your family, but I also see a bit of bravery deep inside your heart. So where should I sort you in?" It was the Hat speaking inside her head. She grabbed the edge of the stool harder. "Yes, yes, I guess you better go to HUFFLEPUFF !"
The last word was roared out to the crowd. Leah the new Puffer, now beaming proudly, jumped down the stool and joined the Hufflepuff table. |
