Okay he was finally here. Getting sorted was entertaining and embarrassing to say the least. Wearing that crazy hat that talked was the entertaining part. Cris loved messing around with it, constantly switching which house he yearned to be in. Not that would have made any difference but Sander had told him that the sorting hat did take into account what the student wanted. Hence the messing around.

The embarrassing part was wearing the hat in front of strangers. The fact that he was a lot taller and bigger than the other sorties made him stand out more. Yes embarrassing indeed.

However, the hat had been adamant that he would be best suited in the house that had that weird name. Puffers. Sounded like their mascot was a Pufferfish. So here he was not knowing anyone. Which was fine. He liked to people watch.
