"A new year to look forward to and lots to learn .I welcome all new students to Hogwarts and once again welcome the old ones. Now the sorting begins." Professor McGonagall said before placing an old and nearly tattered hat on a stool. A brim opened and the sorting hat's song began
"Come come come place me on,
My sorting has always won.
Brave lions, wise eagles, and hard working badgers and cunning serpents are the logos
Of the four houses, so no more lurking
And let's start the sorting."
As the hat stopped Professor Longbottom began calling out names from a list.
Albus waited with bated breath till his name was called .Ashley Windman and Wang Shan were the only Gryffindors so far.
"A new brain, hum, another Potter, let's see Ravenclaw might suit you but Slytherin won't be so bad either."
"Please not Slytherin please."
"Sure you could do well there with your potential."Albus thought he could hear a faint smile in the hat's voice.
"Positive." and the hat yelled "Ravenclaw"
Albus walked down and sat amongst the cheering Ravenclaws and heaved a deep breath, so what father had said was true he thought. The hat really does take your opinion in count and watched the rest of the sorting. Surprising how no one other than the two girls had been put in Gryffindor .
