A/N: I wrote this after someone gave me the prompt: Something or someone not quite meeting expectations. Also a thank you to my beta Kyra. :)
Unexpected Sorting
"Do you think they'll be mad? I think they'll be mad." The young boy said worriedly, staring at the red-haired girl beside him; looking at her with his father's piercing green eyes.
"Oh honestly, Al, stop it! Uncle Harry is not going to care that you were sorted in Slytherin, didn't he tell you that just before we left?" Asked the girl as she waved his concerns away.
"But, what if Mum's disappointed? Everyone in the family has been in Gryffindor forever! What if she is the one that gets mad?" Al asked, his words staring to blur because he was talking so fast.
"Al! Just stop it! We have bigger things to worry about!" Yelled the girl, stopping his rant with a hand on his arm.
"Like what?" Al asked sulkily.
"Like how am I, Rose Weasley, going to explain to my dad, my dad who is Ron Weasley; that I got sorted into Slytherin house!" Rose said tightly, just as the prefect told them the password and both of them entered their Common Room for the very first time.
