Molly Weasley-Slytherin-Pressure
Molly was in truth, her father's daughter. By her first birthday, it was fair knowledge through the Weasley family that the eldest daughter took after Percy more than Audrey in nearly every aspect. Wild red hair, a constant tangle of curls, and calculating blue eyes behind thin glasses, Molly held the stereotypical appearance of a Weasley.
"Well," the hat spoke moments after it was placed onto Molly's head. "Another Weasley."
"You say that like it's a bad thing." The sass in Molly's voice was clearly taken from her mother.
"Not a bad thing." The hat said. "There's just a great number of you. Hard to keep track."
"Tell me about it. Have you ever seen the Burrow come Christmas? Grandma doesn't even have to decorate at this point, there's so many red heads running around to make Christmas anywhere."
"Hum." The hat would have shuddered at the thought could he.
"Now tell me." Molly changed the line of conversation. "Where are you placing me?"
"One to get to the point." The hat spoke. "You have much focus and drive. I can see a great intelligence in you, one you use to reach your goals. You do well under pressure, something you seem to thrive quite well in. There was very few people who can achieve so much under such pressure, but you seem to hold up. This is quite an easy placing."
"It is?"
"I would say so. In order to achieve the greatness you search for, I'd have to say… SLYTHERIN!"
The word sent a wave of silence through the Great Hall, as the first Weasley was placed into the house of snakes. Her new housemates were the first to react. Cheers shot through the green clad students as the hat was removed from her head. Heading in that direction, she found her steps growing heavy with pressure. She knew her family would love her no matter where she was place, but the worry was still there.
The first Weasley in Slytherin was a great deal of pressure. But sliding into her seat next to a smiling brunette female, Molly smiled back. A house of ambition and the proper amount of pressure, and she was sure she'd do just fine there.
