In the last Chapter…
Sarah stepped forward, and had the hat placed on her head.
You're almost as bad as Potter was Sarah heard the small voice inside her head Though, not as difficult. You have courage, though not enough for Gryffindor, and brains, but your not quite right for the same house as your sister…I see a thirst to prove yourself in here.
You try being the youngest of three and not wanting to prove yourself! Sarah thought angrily at the hat I was the last to get accepted into Draxon, the last to get my primary gift, the last to-
The hat cut Sarah off You also have the trustworthy and faithful qualities for Hufflepuff
Oh…sorry for yelling
After a few seconds of silence, the hat yelled out…
Chapter Ten
"I GIVE UP!"
The room was dead silent
"I give up!" The hat yelled out again "She is either in Slytherin or Hufflepuff! YOU decide, Professor!"
"Sarah…what did you do?" Susan asked
"I did nothing" Sarah said "The hat said that I had the thirst to prove myself that would be found in Slytherin, and the trustworthy and faithfulness that would be found in Hufflepuff"
"And you said?"
"I defended myself on the thirst to prove myself!" Sarah said "I told the hat I would like to see it be the third child and not have a thirst to prove itself! I was the last to get accepted into Draxon, the last to get my primary gift, the last to-"
"I've heard the speech before Sarah…a million times" Susan said "It is getting old"
"So now I get to decide… well, lets see… Dumbledore is always talking about inter house unity and you're friends with Potter and that group and they're in Gryffindor so to promote inter house unity I think you should be in Slytherin."
"ARE YOU CRAZY! I LIVE IN A HOUSE OF GRYFFINDORS!"
"Exactly why I think you being in Slytherin would be good for inter house unity."
"Screw inter-house unity! I am not going to spend Christmas being the only Slytherin at Headquarters!"
"One I'm there very often for meetings, two most people who lived at that house were Slytherins, and you could stay here over the holidays."
"I don't want to be in Slytherin's Common Room to begin with…I am not going to willingly stay somewhere that I don't want to be to begin with"
"Well it doesn't really matter anymore. You're in Slytherin that's that now, go to the feast."
Lizzie, Danielle, and Mariana were put into Gryffindor, Stephanie was made into a Hufflepuff, and Sarah's best friend of the pact, Anna, was put in Slytherin with her. That made things a little better for Sarah, but only a little.
(In the Great Hall)
Susan squeezed Sarah's shoulder as she looked over at the Slytherin Table "You'll survive"
"This is a horrible day" Sarah said "First, I get a week of detention before we even reach the school, and then I have to be in Slytherin, because of an old, inept hat!"
"Yes but think of it this way at least Josh isn't here…uh on second thought…don't look at the Slytherin Table…" Seeing the horror on her sisters face. "Gosh I was only joking… so go and make some new decent friends kay?"
"I'm in Slytherin…the word 'decent' can't possibly be in their vocabulary…and you are so lucky that Cobane is in the room, or I would have made a tornado swallow you for tricking me about Josh!"
"Ah maybe you'll fit in more than you think you will. Now I'm off to my new bf."
Sarah glared at Susan, and glanced over at Gryffindor's Table. Harry, Ron, Hermione, the twins, and Ginny all waved at her, as they cleared a spot nest to Ron for her.
Sarah grimaced, and pointed to the Slytherin Table. Harry, Ron, and Hermione all turned to look where she pointed, and Harry and Ron fainted. The twins glanced at where she had pointed, then yelled-so the whole hall heard them-
"WHO CORRUPTED THE HAT!"
Susan walked up and told them what happened in the office. Everyone sent Sarah a sympathetic look. Sarah mouthed "thank you" and then walked over to the Slytherin Table. Unfortunately the only available seat at Slytherin's table was next to Draco Malfoy.
"So…how much would it cost me to get you to convince your sister to date me?" Draco asked
"I can't charge you anything for two reasons"
"What reasons would those be?"
"One, my sister would kill me…though that doesn't sound half bad right now…hmm, if I tick off Will enough over break, I can possibly persuade him to burn me to death…"
"Could you get to the other reason!"
"Look over at Ravenclaw Table"
Draco obeyed "So?"
"See who she is sitting with?"
"Nick Bloom, Head Boy. So?"
"That is her choice"
"But he wasn't an option"
"What makes you think my sister gives a rat's ass who the options were?"
"She seems like a rules girl"
"Ok so she is but she doesn't like being forced into something and she found a loop hole."
"Loop hole."
"Yeah Fred and George said a boy at Hogwarts they never specified one of you three so loophole."
"I don't like loopholes."
"Yeah… that doesn't surprise me."
"So what are you doing over here?"
"Ask you're head of house"
"What does Snape have to do with this?"
"Everything, he put me here."
"Put… but the sorting hat…"
"The Sorting hat quit on me"
"Quit… the sorting hat quit?"
"Yep. It couldn't make up it's mind about putting me here or in Hufflepuff, so it quit and left it up to your head of house"
"Our Head of House" Draco corrected
"Right whatever… so … whats up with all the kids up there?"
"Those are the first years who are being sorted"
"Wait…the sorting hat couldn't make up it's mind about ME…but it will sort all those kids?"
"Seems that way"
"That hat is a mofo"
"Mofo?"
"Don't ask"
