Bones, Susan

Susan took a gulp of air and walked forward. She couldn't believe she'd stood at the back. It forced her to look at all the other first years staring at her as she pressed through them all.

She hoped she'd be in a house to make her family proud. Some of the Bones family was quite high up in the ministry. She certainly wanted her aunt, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, to be proud. Of course, Susan knew it would take a lot of work to get where her aunt was, but she'd never minded hard work.

Her relatives who weren't in the house itself would sometimes try to tease her, saying she'd be in Hufflepuff. In truth, she really wouldn't mind being in Hufflepuff. It would suit her well enough, she'd always felt it was somewhat unappreciated; there was nothing wrong with being in Hufflepuff!

Susan sat down and pulled the hat on. It didn't fit well over her long plait.

Suddenly the little voice spoke up. Hmm, yes I see, hard-working, indeed. Susan grinned. The hat knew about her musings then.

And you are right; you would do very well there. It'll have to be HUFFLEPUFF!

Susan's became a full on beam of happiness. Oh, sure she could see her cousin cracking up from the Gryffindor table, but it didn't matter. She was very pleased with her house. Susan ran to sit down.

"Well done!" Whispered Hannah Abbott, the nice girl she'd met on the train. "I was hoping I'd have a friend in my house."

Susan grinned back at Hannah and stuck out her tongue at her cousin.

"You know, it's good to be here!" She replied. Hoping it was loud enough for him to hear.

Hannah noticed the exchange and burst out laughing, Susan had to join in.
