He had heard the hat call Ravenclaw during Azura's sorting. His own eyes focussed on the girl during her sorting. Now he just had to wait and see what would happen.
"Quinn, Jasper"
It was time.
He knew that his body was shaking slightly. Numbly he moved up to sit down on the stool as the speaking hat was placed on his head.
'Another Quinn... odd that you are starting in your first year... you must be the first in centuries,' the voice in his head, which he knew was the hat, spoke. Jasper was just completely thrown by the fact that the hat had started like that.
'Uh... hi?'
'Not as brave as your father... and you lack the ambition needed for Slytherin,' the hat continued, almost seeming to ignore him.
'Could you just put me in Ravenclaw?' he asked the hat innocently, though his mind quickly travelled to his friend. Azura. The purple eyed girl that was already in that house. He was fairly certain that the hat laughed in response to his request.
'Ravenclaw... you do have a certain creativity that will do well in Ravenclaw... and yet you would also do well in Hufflepuff...'
'Ravenclaw,' he insisted, before adding a softer 'please' to that request.
"RAVENCLAW!"
'Thank you,' he said in his mind before the had was taken off his head, beaming as he made his way to the table where his friend was already sitting! |
