DISCLAIMER: The ideas are mine, the characters are not. If they were the sorting hat would spend so much time chatting to the freshman the older stundents would fall asleep over their plates before dinner...

"WEASLEY, GINEVRA"

"HA! A Weasley girl at last!"

"Oh!"

"Don't be startled young Ginevra!"

"Just Ginny.P-p-please"

"A pet name! I should have guessed..."

"Why do you say that?"

"Well, all of your brothers -"

"Are in Gryffindor."

"Not what I was going to say, but yes, they are all Grffindors... I can't remember the last time I sorted a Weasley to any house other than Godric's-"

"I bet I'll be the first."

"But would that be so bad?"

"I knew it. Just say what you have to say and be done with this."

"I didn't say anything yet! ALl I meant is that, with so many brothers, all of them together in the same house being sorted somehere else would certainy be a way to stand out, would it not? As if being the only girl wasn't enough, I know, but you don't exactly get along, I see you thought about it, they do give you a hard time."

"All but Bill, but Bill is not here anymore-"

"And yet for some reason you would be disappointed if you didn't end up in Gryffindor."

"..."

"I know there's the matter of family tradition, like I said Weasleys have been Gryffindors for as long as I can remember, but there's something more, is there not?"

"There's Harry."

"Harry?"

"My brother Ron's best friend. He's so cute, and courageous... I know that he's older, and he'll never even look at me, but if we were in the same house he might at least like me someday, even if just a little- But he's not even here now, I didn't see him anywhere in the table, and now you're over my eyes, and I can't see anything."

"You have a- how do you kids say it? A crush! Oddest expression ever! And hardly a reason for sorting."

"..."

"Don't be upset, you are still young, but you'll see. These things come and go, before you notice you'll be thinking of another little boy you want to be with. One must be careful about such things of course, I remember Godric used to consult me regarding a young woman... Her name was- What was it? I think-"

"Can I at least be in Slytherin?"

"Slytherin? Of all places! Why would you want that!"

"Well, my friend Tom is a Slytherin."

"Tom?"

"Yes. He's so nice to me, I figured Slytherin can't be that bad."

"You'd be surprise- But I don't see you in Sytherin, Ginny, you're too shy too withdrawn, and with your family history, it would be very difficult indeed. No that's not your place-"

"Maybe you should just send me back the way I came-"

"There is that lack of confidence again! You should trust yourself more you've got potential! I see courage in your heart, and the will to go the distance. I see you are willing and even eager to protect the ones you love, I know you're tired of being the youngest, the last one to do anything, the first one to be excluded from a conversation. You're done with that, you want more! And Hogwarts certainly is a big step in you independence."

"I hope so."

"Ginny, you are capable of great things. Your heart is brave, you will is unbreakable, and once you let go of your shyness, aand start believing yourself you'll no longer be vulnerable to anyone or anything. Perhaps being with those whose spirits are as free and indomitable as your own you'll not have to go through something terrible. For you're naive, and you are willing to trust people who not necessarily deserve your trust, and that's dangerous."

""I'm not a fool!"

"That's not what I said! All I said is, well- Let's hope the best, shall we?

"GRYFFINDOR!"

AN: There it is, all of the Weasley kids, guys.

Don't forget to review!
