A/N Okay so from now on unless you request a character to sort, I'm just going to be picking them at random from the List of Harry Potter Characters page on Wikipedia :D By the way, I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in a while, I've recently got a new job, and I'm recovering from the flu, please forgive me!
Disclaimer: I am JK Rowling, I am your God. BOW DOWN TO ME. No? You won't bow? I'm not really JK Rowling? Damn.
Review: I know it's annoying when people are all 'Review or I won't update!' So I'm not going to do that, but it is completely true when I say that you reviewing makes me update faster, because it does! I get an email from fanfiction, saying that someone reviewed saying they like it, so I feel confident and it will prompt me to write another chapter! :D 3
Guess: Remember, the person won't be revealed until the end, so try and have a guess, and see if you get it right!
Chapter 10
A shy girl, who's face was bright red with embarassment of tripping on the stairs on the way up, placed that hat gently on her head and sat on the stool.
Aha!
She jumped at the loud voice in her ear.
What? Have you found something already?
No.. I just like saying 'Aha' to the shy ones, it brightens up my day when they jump like you just did.
Hmph. That's just cruel. Sort me and be quick! Everyone is staring..
You really need to try to be a bit braver!
I know, that is my new year's resolution!
New year? It's September!
Well.. I meant my new school year's resolution!
Okay. I hope you do well with that.
Thank you, now, where do you think I should go then Mister Sorting Hat?
Oh please, call me God of Sorting.
Um..No.. How about I call you Sorty!
If you must..
Okay Sorty! Where am I going!
Well, to be honest I think we've decided you're not a Gryffindor, don't you think?
Definitely!
And I don't think you're a Slytherin either! You're far too kind to be cunning.
That's true I suppose.
And to be honest, even though you are smart, I think the clear choice is HUFFLEPUFF!
Hannah Abbot skipped off to the Hufflepuff table, feeling a lot happier and braver after she'd had a chat with Sorty. And Sorty had enjoyed the chat aswell,
Over the next few years, Hannah visited Sorty a lot in Dumbledore's office, telling him about her first crush, and crying to him about the death of her mother. And Sorty greatly enjoyed the company, and years after Hannah left, he still asked some of the nicer new students to call him Sorty.
A/N I don't know why I think of Hannah as being shy, I just like to think that she and Neville were both clumsy and shy, and that they helped each other come out of their shells a bit :) Do you like the little 'over the next few years' bit, or should I just stick to the diologue between the hat and the person being sorted? :D 3
