Omg, I forgot to put the disclaimer in the last chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat, Slytherin, et cetera. J.K. Rowling does and she's a billionaire. I'm not making any money out of this. DX
I just realized one of the professor's last names is Vector. Dang it. I feel stupid.
You know how you don't feel nervous about something two days before it and then you're freaking out two minutes before it? Multiply that by five and you still wouldn't be as nervous as I am now. I'm standing in line with the other first years, and BANG! I start hyperventilating. What if I get sorted into Gryffindor, away from the people I know? Or worse, what if I get sorted into Hufflepuff? So, I'm standing there, panicking, and I don't even hear my name called until Professor McGonagall yells it. For the third time. I rush up to the stool and sit down. McGonagall's going to put the Sorting Hat on my head, but the thing gets within two feet of me and screams:
"SLYTHERIN!"
I sit there like an idiot while the table to my far right explodes with cheering and clapping. Eventually, I get to my feet and take a seat at the Slytherin table, faint with relief. Vector catches my eye and gives me a thumbs up. I smile weakly and watch the other kids get sorted.
"Congrats, kid! No matter what the others say, Slytherin is the best!" Vector grins and pats me on the shoulder. "Of course it's the best! I'm in it!" I say. He laughs and then we're at the common room entrance. He holds me back as the other students file in. "You know how I asked you to do some stuff for me?" he asks. I nod. "Well, I have a job for you." "Already? I just got here!" "Yeah, I know, but it's pretty simple. You just have to be really sneaky." I cock an eyebrow. "Sneaky is my middle name." "Awesome. I need you to be a Golden Snitch."
End of chapter 1.
So, I finally got this out! Yay! So, what do you think? Review and tell me, please!
