Characters/Pairings: Draco Malfoy and the Sorting Hat (not together D;)
Summary: He should've just kept waiting...
Draco Malfoy waited patiently for the Sorting Hat to be placed on his head; though, he already knew what House he would be Sorted in: Slytherin.
He would be with his friends, and stay away from muggleborns and Weasleys.
Oops, he meant mudbloods. It had taken his father a long time before Draco was able to say the word, instead of the nicer version.
Anyway, his friends were all going there.
See, Goyle was already there. He waved to him, briefly.
Goyle smiled brightly in response, waving back eagerly.
'Goyle's such a nice friend,' Draco complimented, mentally.
Though, Draco couldn't wait 'til he was the second villain in this story. It would be so much fun!
So, when the woman that looked like she'd eaten way too many Sour Silly Strawberries - since when is a strawberry "sour?" - placed the Hat on Draco's head, he was completely positive that he would be Sorted into Slytherin. He waited patiently for the announcement.
"Hmph, you're an odd one," the Hat murmured through his head. "Obviously very smart, though you can be dense about the simplest of things. Your self-preservation is lower than your courage... however, you're also very cowardly...
"Very odd, indeed... And you're very sure that you will be Sorted into Slytherin, as well... The next Malfoy in this generation..."
The Hat started to chuckle, and Draco did along with it; though, he didn't know what they were laughing at.
"Can I go, now? I don't want to wait any longer." he whinged.
"Patience, child," the Hat admonished. "Let's mix it up a little. You're really too complex to accurately Sort, and since you want to leave so badly, it will..."
"DEFINITELY BE HUFFLEPUFF!"
Draco's smile froze on his face as he slowly processed that Sorting.
The first Malfoy to get Sorted into Hufflepuff... since, ever...
You couldn't fault him for fainting when he stood up.
He should've just kept waiting...
