Chapter 3
A Shocking Sorting
Jake couldn't sit with his siblings on the Hogwarts express because all the
first years were kinda grouped together in the front of the sat in a
compartment with 2 other hopeful first years. Their names were Mason and Vicky.
They were brother and sister, twins actually and they both really wanted
hufflepuff. Why Jake would never know because before the train ride even felt
like it began it was already over.
All the first years were ushered in-between the gryffindor and ravenclaw table.
Then one by one first years would be called up and you would hear the sorting
hat call Gryffindor hufflepuff ravenclaw or slytherin. So about halfway through
Jake gets called.
"Oooo, another shamek. Your family is spread all over the four houses... Except
for gryffindor. Is it time for you to be in gryffindor... to finally bring the
shameks to gryffindor. Hmmmm... Yes, yes it is. GRYFFINDOR!"
The table of red and gold roared and cheered. Jake was the first in his family
to become a gryffindor. Was he proud, sure but was he excited no. Jobe always
talked about how stuck up and annoying gryffindor kids were. He always ranted
and raved about how the gryffindor kids were souposed to be brave but everyone
knew they were phony.
He was worried that it would hurt his relationship with Jobe but still he just
glanced over at the slytherin table and he saw his brother smiling back at him.
