AN: This is a collection of the moment when each of the next gen children get sorted. For this all the childrens parents are as they would be in canon, as much as I want to strangle JRK for her pairings.

Disclaimer (for the whole thing): I am not JKR and own nothing, obviously as otherwise I would like the pairings and wouldn't want to strangle her for not letting Nuna happen.

"Lupin, Teddy"

The voice of McGonagall rang across the room. Teddy shuffled up to the front of The Great Hall, all eyes on the first of the war heroes' children to attend Hogwarts. He was scared to get sorted, everyone expected him to go straight into Gryffindor like his father, but he wasn't sure that was what he wanted.

As the hat was lowered over his eyes, the last thing he saw was the eyes of every student in the hall focused on him, the Gryffindors looking hopeful and almost triumphant like they'd gotten him already. He could still hear the whispers coming from the seats, people discussing him, where he'd be and trading family stories of the war. It was all very annoying.

"Well, well, well, Teddy Lupin" the hat said in his head.

Um, hello? Teddy thought back to the hat, unsure of how this was going to go – his family had refused to tell him anything about the sorting ceremony.

"Don't worry, this isn't going to hurt," the hat reassured him, "now, let's see what we have here! You're not unintelligent and want to learn so could survive in Ravenclaw, you're very open not a good mix for Slytherin, you're brave – yes you are," Teddy had started to argue with the hat that he wasn't brave as he'd never been one to get into a fight and was a bit of a snitch, "you're just a different kind of brave, you want to live up to your parents but you don't think you're Gryffindor material… interesting,"

Wait, what do you mean 'interesting'? Teddy asked, scared that the hat would laugh at this.

"It's just that only your father was a Gryffindor, your mother was actually a Hufflepuff!"

Oh, Teddy thought. He remembered something about being told his mother was a Hufflepuff, but since the rest of his family were Gryffindors he'd put it to the back of his mind. I'm still not sure… Teddy started, before being interrupted by the hat. He was worried that he wouldn't get sorted anywhere. His family were all better than him in some way; smarter, braver, more decisive… he was doubtful that there'd be a place for plain old Teddy.

"Oh I know exactly where to place you now, don't doubt yourself! I suppose the friends you make will help with that," Teddy was starting to get confused by the hats actions, from what little he'd managed to get from his Aunt Hermione he'd found out that it was a very matter of fact affair, not very emotional.

"Aha, I was wondering if you'd remember that bit of information. I'm not normally this, shall we say, talkative. But I know how scared Harry was when he started, it's quite daunting to suddenly become famous. Anyway, would you like to know where you're sorted to?"

Yes please! Teddy thought, just as the hat roared "HUFFLEPUFF!"

As Teddy got down from the school and towards the cheers coming from the Hufflepuff table he started to think that maybe he'd been wrong to doubt himself; maybe he was good enough to live up to his parents.

AN: Okay, first things first - I KNOW that the sorting hat is waaaay ooc (from what I think of it anyway) but I feel that he'd have some sympathy for the kids because of what their parents faced and how they are famous through no fault of their own. But since I have more of these to write please tell me how you think I can improve writing the hat because I am seriously struggling. I'm going to post another two sortings tonight because they have to be in for a deadline tomorrow, so please tell me which one you think is best.
