Hayley bounced on her toes, and peeked over the shoulder of the child in front of her to get a good look at the other child on the stool, waiting to see what happened when the hat was put on his head, before straightening back up and staring down at her hands. The eleven-year-old repeated this a number of times while waiting in line, nervous and excited all at the same time. When she wasn't bouncing on her toes, watching that stool and hat, the little Diggory was looking behind her, past the student in back of her, in search of her friends equally anxious faces. Gracie, Noel, Bri, even. And then, as an afterthought, her blue-grey eyes traveled quickly toward the table of scarlet and gold. Chels house table. Were was she? It was much too hard to tell if her other best friend was seated amongst the waves of students from where she stood in line for sorting.

"Diggory, Hayley!"

Eyes growing wide, Hayley took a deep breath. Lost in her own silly thoughts, she hadn't even noticed they were on D-surnames. And that was her name, of all names. Deep breath. Slowly but surely, the little girl's legs carried her toward the stool until she took her seat upon it, and waited for the hat to be placed on her head. One more look back toward the waiting first years, Hayley gave a thumbs up meant for those she knew, and even those she didn't, before everything went dark and there was a new voice in her head. Or maybe not in her head at all.

One small hand reached up to push the old worn hat up just a bit so it wasn't covering her eyes anymore, Hayley held her breath.

Ah, yes, another Diggory.. and much like your parents, I see. You're heart is pure.. loyal and just, as were your parents when they sat in this spot with me on their heads.. but there is more than that.. you're an adventurous one, but not fearless.. daring, maybe.. but for what reasons?.. Hufflepuff or Gryffindor may be a match for you..

Hufflepuff, please be Hufflepuff, please.. Hayley exhaled quietly, eyes shut in anticipation.

Is that what you wish? To be in Hufflepuff, like your parents and the rest of the Diggory clan before you, child? Hmm.. determined and fair.. loyal, but do you have what it takes to follow in your parents footsteps? A lover and healer of creatures, and a Quidditch star? Hmm.. I see a thirst for knowledge in you, intelligence and wisdom beyond your years.. a strong curiosity that gets you in trouble at times.. you will understand one day.."

I'll understand what?

"Ravenclaw!"

That was not what she'd expected. Hayley waited for the hat to be lifted from her head, mouth a gap, before hopping up from the stool and pressing her lips together in a smalllll uncertain smile as she headed off toward the other Ravenclaws.

She wasn't a Hufflepuff, but a Ravenclaw. Hayley wasn't sure whether to be happy and smile, or frown because she didn't get into Hufflepuff. Her main thought was on her bedroom at home, though, with their bright yellow walls.
