So here's another chapter, Anthony Goldstein who goes on to become a Ravenclaw prefect, so I thought I'd make him very Ravenclaw-ish. Enjoy :)
Disclaimer: Not one of these single students belong to me. Anthony's thoughts belong to Anthony, Anthony belongs to J. K. Rowling :(
Goldstein, Anthony
Anthony silently compared what he saw to everything he'd read and heard about. Hogwarts way better, he decided, then any story he'd been told about it.
Anthony clutched his new wand with white knuckles and gaped at the room. His father, a muggle-born, had told him a lot about the amazing first sight of Hogwarts, and now he finally understood what he meant.
As the hat began to sing his thoughts were racing. It must have been amazingly enchanted.
"...There's nothing hidden in your head the sorting hat can't see..." The hat sung. Anthony wondered if it read your mind or something. That would be amazing.
Well, it seemed to be taking different amounts of time with each person, but it might really be talking to them. What if you got to choose your house? That would be weird; he had no idea what house he wanted.
It was probably not like that anyway, that wouldn't be a very effective system. Maybe the hat asked you a question and, depending on the answer, you got placed in the right house for you.
When his name was called he went up eagerly, ready to find out.
Placing the hat on he was shocked at how little time it actually took.
Well, there's no doubt about you. It'll be RAVENCLAW!
Anthony pulled off the hat a little numbly and let it sag onto the seat. Well, that hadn't given him very long to find out what the hat did. He'd have to ask someone later. Or find a book about it. His mum said Hogwarts had the best library ever.
That would be cool.
He sat beside the other first years in his house. There was a girl scribbling in a book, but as he sat down she looked up and smiled.
"Hey what's you're name?" She asked.
He told her and she wrote it down immediately. Anthony was intrigued. He met the eyes of a friendly looking first year who grinned and shrugged towards the writer.
Sharing the smile Anthony decided he liked Ravenclaw very much.
Review guys... don't make me sad by giving me no feed-back!
