As an 11 year old Hermione granger entered the Hogwarts

Express, she was thinking about the four houses. She knew all about them as she had already read all of her core books and many others, including 'Hogwarts. A history'. She knew everything about Hogwarts except for one minor detail, which house she would be in. She knew that there was literally no chance of getting into Slytherin, after all she was a muggle born. She was unsure if she would get into Ravenclaw –little did she know that she was one of the only people to have read their school books. Eventually, the train reached to a halt and she climbed out of her carriage to be met by a half giant calling for the first years to follow him. They were directed to sit in threes on small boats.

When they left the boats, they were greeted by a severe looking woman who they later learnt was named Professor McGonagall head of Gryffindor and Deputy Head.

They followed her through the magnificent double doors and into the entrance hall.

"Welcome to Hogwarts. In a minute, I will lead you into the great hall where you will be sorted into one of four houses – Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Do good things and you will be rewarded points and any wrongdoing will loose points. Follow me." She said and strode into the hall. Hermione zoned out as she went through the A, B, C, D, E and F's but paid rapt attention in the G's, waiting for her name to be called.

Granger, Hermione.

Calmly, she walked to the stall and the professor placed the hat onto her head.

Ooh! I have never seen this before.

Never seen what?

A muggleborn whose qualities fit the qualities of the Slytherin house.

What? But as you said, I am a muggleborn.

But, before she could protest more, the hat was calling out:

SLYTHERIN!

Nervously she stood up off the stall and walked to the Slytherin table. "Hi." said one of the other 1st years.

She turned around to see the boy who spoke to her. It was the one who offered to be Harry Potter's friend but was declined.

"Hi" she squeaked back, "she took a deep breath and blurted out "I'm mugleborn."
