 Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee
Dot was well used to going last, what with having been a Wojack her entire life, and since this wasn't much of a thing to her anyway, she spent her time waiting by watching the staff up on the dais. They were dead amusing, even if she didn't know who anyone was yet. Once she got to her seat, she'd squish in next to Dima and he'd tell her who to like and who to avoid.
Not that Dot was any good at avoiding, but she'd try. For Dima's sake.
FINALLY, she heard, "Wojack, Charlotte," and Dot skipped up to the stool, pulled the hat down over her ears... and waited. She didn't even sit down for the full first minute, since she figured it was such a waste of time. Dot was a Ravenclaw. She was gonna go with Dima and Kyroh and Maddie. She was.
Didn't the hat know? "Ravenclaw," she poked the brim with her fingertip, just to see if it was awake. It was talking to other people, so why wasn't it talking to her? "RAVENCLAW." She poked it again.
No, really, what was going on up there? Was it nap time? With a heavy sigh, Dot pulled up the brim of the hat and peeked out to see if anyone had noticed that she was being ignored by an article of clothing. It was bad that she couldn't even see her friends, because they might have been of some comfort to her right about now.
"Ravenclaw, you big dumb hat!" She flicked the brim viciously with a freckled finger, over and over. "I'm going to be with Dima."
Almost as if the hat had been waiting for some unknown signal, Dot could practically feel it take a deep breath before it spoke to her. "Slytherin."
WHAT? NO. THAT WASN'T A VERY FUNNY JOKE. She flicked it again, muttering RavenclawRavenclawRavenclaw over and over, but the hat was ignoring her again. She wasn't going to be with Dima and Kyroh and Maddie. She wasn't going to Ravenclaw.
She was a big stupid Slytherin.
