Hey peopleoids I have not written a story in a while but I have decided to start writing again but first a few quick things
1: Review on The Simple Rules of Weasley Life and I'm Serious Sirius because until at least one person does I cannot continue
2: Vote on the poll for The Shell so far no one has voted so I am not sure if I should continue with it or not.
3: Finally I am considering doing a Reading The Books series as I like to read them but there are very few completed ones please tell me what you think of this idea (it would be for Harry Potter)
This is going to have two chapters unless I get some more ideas.
Weasley.
Everyone knew the name, everyone had heard the name and everyone knew exactly what the name meant.
It meant someone with red hair and freckles. Someone with a flaming temper and lots of siblings. It also meant someone who was courageous and loyal.
It meant someone in Gryffindor that's what being a Weasley was and what it will always be, and because of that...
It meant a lot of nerves for every single Weasley who had ever walked up to the Sorting Hat.
It would seem silly to anyone who was in a family that had people from different houses and it would appear strange to any Muggle born. But anyone else form a large wizarding family understood it completely.
People had often scoffed at him for his thoughts.
"You're a Weasley you'll be in Gryffindor for sure."
"How could you not be Gryffindor?"
"Come on everyone in your family has I'm sure you will too."
But it never helped because he knew none of them understood what it was like.
Everyone in his family had been a Gryffindor which only made it worse if one person only one other person on the Weasley family tree had been sorted into any other house maybe he could deal with it maybe if he wasn't sorted into Gryffindor he would be okay.
But it had never happened. He had searched and searched every single record of the Weasley family for even the slightest hint of someone from another house. Hi s search was in vain so even when he rode the Hogwarts Express towards the great castle his heart was still full of dread. As he clambered into the boat he still shook and while he stood there waiting for his name he didn't think he could feel any worse.
The sorting continued and by the time he was called up there was only one other person left behind him.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw everyone slump in their seats and he could almost hear what was on their minds. Then one person said it out loud.
"Oh it's just another Weasley why do we even bother sorting them just put them in Gryffindor and be done with it already."
He didn't even have the strength to look at the person as he dragged himself towards the Sorting Hat dreading the outcome. Everyone assumed he would be a Gryffindor but what if he wasn't he would let his family down and they may never truly accept him ever again.
"That's not true you know"
He opened his eyes shocked at the voice then realising that he had already reached the stool and was in the process of being sorted.
"What do you mean" he thought and he could have sworn the hat gave a small chuckle at that.
"I have sorted every Weasley that has ever walked through these doors they would never abandon you I know that for sure."
He gave a small sigh a know-it-all hat was really not what he needed right now.
"I never said they would abandon me" he thought but he knew that was his worst thought.
But the hat didn't mention this but his voice took on a much more gentle tone "look kid let me tell you something okay I have only ever met one other Weasley who was as nervous as you are now and do you know who that was."
He shook his head but the hat didn't even stop.
"Your father he was the most nervous wreck I've ever seen at Hogwarts when it came down to Sorting but he made it through hand he was fine."
"Yeah but he was a Gryffindor as well wasn't he."
"True but I know from combing through many a Weasley brain that there is only one thing that the Weasleys are more than courageous"
"What" he said highly doubting that this hat knew more about his family than he did.
"Loyalty"
He thought about this as the hat continued with his decision his mind racing and his heart thudding then the hat said one word.
The word set everything he had heard and thought over the past few days, weeks and months hurtling around his mind at top speed.
"You're a Weasley you'll be in Gryffindor for sure."
"Oh it's just another Weasley why do we even bother sorting them just put them in Gryffindor and be done with it already."
"I have sorted every Weasley that has ever walked through these doors they would never abandon you I know that for sure."
"Yeah but he was a Gryffindor as well wasn't he."
"HUFFLEPUFF"
The hall was silent. For once in Hogwarts history there was not a sound in the large room he took off the hat to see everyone staring at him in shook and he hung his head in shame.
Then he heard a clap.
One quiet clap that would have normally been lost in this room.
Then another.
He looked up and there he was James Potter and Fred Weasley standing next to the Gryffindor table slowly clapping then Al joined them, then Rose until every other Weasley family member was standing up cheering.
He looked over at the Hufflepuff table as he heard a clap starting there.
Then the Ravenclaws and even some Slytherins joined in with the applause.
He stood up off the stool and made his way to the Hufflepuff table amidst the applause and before he took his seat he looked over at his cousins and sister cheering him on.
So maybe being the first non-Gryffindor Weasley wouldn't be so bad. It may make future Weasleys feel better.
Plus he had heard that the Hufflepuff common room was near the kitchen.
Yes Hugo Weasley was going to like Hufflepuff.
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it but I would like to make some things clear before you all kill me.
I believe Hugo would make a great Gryffindor but I like this ending plus I believe he would be very just and loyal which are the traits of Hufflepuffs.
Plus believe me this ending was hard to write I had a little internal war with myself over whether or not he should be a Gryffindor but personally I like this ending and it's staying as it is.
Well I hope you like it please review as reviews really make my day.
See ya later peoples
