Hogwarts is just as big as I pictured it from my parents stories. They used to go here and sorted into the Gryffindor House, I think for being show offs to be honest. My dad is just one of those people that likes to get noticed, that's why he writes for the Daily Prophet. Mum is the smart one that runs the apothecary we live above. Right now I just want to focus on getting sorted, but no...
I feel like I want to vomit and not just the normal kind where it passes after a few seconds, but enough to make me want to sleep by the toilet bowl vomit. The sorting hat was about to call my name and I can't stand it. My family was telling me I was going to end up a Gryffindor like they were. I'm not like grandfather who had fought off death eaters in the first war. I'm not like mum who helped hide muggles during the first war. Instead I feel like I am connected to gram, the wise and wonderful person she is.
She can see it in my tea leaves; gram could tell the future like a true seer. My family is known for being a family of seers and gram is the best. My mum is the only one that has a knack for business. She runs it from the shop own in Diagon Ally which is the apothecary of course. Any way, she says I'm not going to be like mum and grandpa being the glory hounds of the family. Gram says I'm going to be great like her and be a true seer. She was sorted into Ravenclaw you see and I want to be like her. I could already see myself in divination watching a crystal ball. Sleeping in one of the tallest towers in the castle.
"Li, Su," said the professor and I slowly walk up. A couple of the older kids at the Gryffindor table catch my eye. They know me from being Mei, Rou, and Song's little sister. In a flash, I could see myself in a tower surrounded by books which tower, I do not know. I caught my cousin Cho's eye from the blue clad table. Walking up, I felt confident of where I would be placed.
As soon as I sit the heavy hat is on my head and I just want this to be over with. The hat says something to me about not being like my grandpa or mum. It said that I was connected to my gram. Frankly, I'm not even paying attention because I know it all already.
"RAVENCLAW!"
The stunned look on my sisters faces only satisfies me. A knowing smile comes from my cousin Cho Chang, who is in Ravenclaw. With me. Brilliant move there hat, I applaud you for your excellence.
