"GRANTHAM, BERNADETTE."
Oh no, oh no no no...... it was Bernie's turn to face the mind-reading hat. She gulped and approached the fancy chair, nervously perching just on the very edge of it. As the hat came down over her head, she closed her eyes and thought strongly that she wanted to be in the BEST House, with the BEST people, and maybe the COZIEST living quarters, and maybe a pet CAT they all shared, and the BEST sports, and the BEST Head of House....
"Just a few things, then," the Hat chuckled. Bernadette nearly jumped at its old-timey sounding, scratchy voice. Was she... supposed to answer it out loud, er? "No need, dear, I can read your thoughts." So mind-reading was REAL then, like that elf had said! ELVES COULD READ MINDS?! "And he wasn't an elf, just a boy." This hat was like having her granny on top of her head, how neat! But was it just Bernie, or was it taking its sweet granny time to decide which house she belonged in? She scrunched up her face again as she thought hard, trying to show the hat her best qualities, like her courage and curiosity, and how patient she was with her family, even though her parents didn't believe in magic, but they let her come to school here anyway, even though NO ONE had written her a letter yet, and like how her elder sibling was TOTALLY a Muggle and he wasn't very nice, and how her younger sis MIGHT be a witch? Who knows? How does this work anyway? Heavens, this hat is heavy and musty-smelling...
The hat seemed to end its thoughtful humming. "Nearly a Hufflepuff, but your mind could talk anyone into a stupor," the hat told her with a bit of amusement. "Better be...
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Bernadette clapped to herself and bounced off the seat. Now wait, where did she go? To the firstie table? She was just relieved to be done, having nearly been a hatstall! YAY, GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!!!!
