Hattie was so excited. She was finally going to get sorted. She could not wait. She wasn't nervous. She had waited for this day since she had known what Hogwarts was. She was really excited to get sorted, and find out what house was hers. Of course she had her own choice, the one she really wanted to be in. But honesty she really didn't care what house she was in. Her older siblings were slytherin and gryffindor, so really she'd be at home anywhere. But deep down she wanted to be a hufflepuff. She was a mother's girl at heart, and wanted to be just like her mother.

Her choice of hufflepuff was tested though, when her best friend was sorted into Slytherin. Oh. No. They were supposed to be in the same house. Maybe she could follow in her big sister's house too? But she wanted to be a hufflepuff. Maybe it would be good if Skylar and herself weren't in the same house. Though it would be so weird if they weren't together all the time.

Soon it was her turn and she was hearing her name being called up. The blonde girl beamed and stepped up to the seat. She was so excited. She was finally going to get sorted. The hat was put on her head, and then it began talking to her.

And talking to her.

And talking to her.

Was it supposed to do this much talking? She really was not sure at all. Oh. It wasn't sure where to put her. Hufflepuff (yay) or Ravenclaw. Oh? Ravenclaw. That was interesting. She could be with Noah! That would be so much fun. And Ravenclaw as new. But she did really want to be in hufflepuff.

"Please Hufflepuff. Please hufflepuff" She murmured quietly. She really wanted to be in Hufflepuff. She closed her eyes and just wished that the sorting would be over. Surely people were staring at her. She must have been on that seat for at least 5 minutes. she'd heard of hatstalls but she didn't think she would be one herself.

Finally. The hat was ready. And shouted out

HUFFLEPUFF

With a beam, and a bit of an achy rear Hattie jumped off the seat and hurried over to her new table at the Hufflepuff house. She was very happy. She couldn't wait to owl her mother to tell her that she had been sorted into the same house!
