This was it. After the long train ride from London, he had finally made it to Hogwarts. Beaming, taking in the grand tables, the many students and the row of teachers at the front, he walked slowly, surrounded by his fellow first years. Despite the cold boat ride in, he was positively shaking with excitement. Honestly, he was surprised he wasn't levitating off the floor! One by one, his fellow students were called up, different expressions clouding their features. Nerves, excitement, nausea.

" Jones, Ewan" Boomed out of the hats rips, reverberating around the hall. A quiet gasp whistled out of his mouth. Taking a deep breath, he moved through his fellow first years, quiet s'cuse me's every so often as he brushed past someone. Standing at the front now, almost petrified, he stared. Transfixed at the hat. 'Stop being a baby' he though as he stood there, rooted to the cold stone floor. With one deep breath, he stepped forward and lifted the hat before finally sitting down and placing it on his head. Despite his nerves, he had to admire the craftsmanship of the sorting hat. It was surprising soft. reassuring.

"Aha, Mr Jones. Welcome to Hogwarts" echoed the sorting hat. "Hmm... where to put you. Smarts. There's definitely a brain in there. And courage. Interesting.. Shaking slightly now, Ewan sat there, frozen with panic, his eyes shut in worry. "I see you enjoy the odd practical joke too! Well, this is difficult".

"Difficult? How could it be difficult? He was the sorting hat? He knew everything. Didn't he?. Ewan sat there, waiting. It could have been a minute, or an hour...

"Ravenclaw!!!! Boomed out the hat, now certain of his answer.

With relief, Ewan opened his eyes and looked back at the pairs of eyes that bored into his. Quickly, wanting to go and jump into a dark hold and hide, he looked for the Ravenclaw banner. Spotting it, he pulled the hat off his head and stood up, eager to get away from the hat. Placing it gently on the table, he walked towards his fellow Ravenclaw pupils and sat down between two other children, his eyes looking down at the floor.
