A/N: A miniproject of mine. I wanted to do a full-length fanfiction about Parvati and Padma Patil, but I decided a series of one-shots about the hottest Gryffindor out there would be better. They'll go vaguely in chronological order, I've started with her own sorting. I hope you enjoy it. If it isn't too much to ask, if you liked, please do review. Thanks!

Summary: Parvati gets sorted


Well, well, aren't you a package?

Eleven year old Parvati Patil sat on the old stool, listening to the Sorting Hat talking in her ear. She was pretty sure she would be in the same house as her identical twin sister. They were a lot a like.

You're very brave, not half bad in the head either. You want to be noticed...don't appreciate being underestimated, do you girly?

She shook her head slightly, unaware that the Sorting hat probably wouldn't notice the gesture.

On the other hand, you seem reckless. You seem less thoughtful, less careful...so I think I know exactly where to put you.

Parvati held her breath.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

The Gryffindor table exploded into cheers, and she heard a catcall in her direction as she walked down the to sit with her new housemates.
