Penelope nervously waited for her name to be called. Not only was she nervous, but she was also hungry, and hoped that she would be able to eat after she was sorted. From what she had read about the houses, she thought she would do well in Ravenclaw, where a bunch of really smart people were.

"Wright, Penelope!" was called out, and Penelope went up to the stool and sat down. She could hear the hat talking, and evaluating her, deciding what house to put her in.

" Hmm... Quite clever, witty, intelligent"

"Ravenclaw, Ravenclaw," Penelpoe thought.

"Alright then, Ravenclaw!," the hat roared.

Penelope hopped off the stool and excitedly walked over to the Ravenclaw table.
