"Creevey, Colin"
Where's my camera? I fumble around my pockets for a couple of seconds before I remember that my camera is in my trunk with the rest of my things. I wanted to bring it in here and get some snaps of the Sorting ceremony but that Professor McGonagall woman wouldn't let me. Oh well, there'll be loads of other chances to get pictures of the Great Hall. Hogwarts is amazing. It's so massive and there are moving paintings and ghosts and everything is magical...there's nothing like this back home. My parents are normal. No, normal is the wrong word. I think they're called 'Muggles' or something like that. I'm sure I'll get used to all this magic stuff although it's hard to get my head around it all. My brother Dennis was so jealous when he found out. He's only a year younger than me but as far as we know he is also a 'muggle'. I really hope he's a wizard too because then he could join me at Hogwarts! Professor McGonagall places the Sorting Hat on my head.
"H...hello Sorting Hat"
"Oh hello there Mr Creevey. Don't worry, it's perfectly natural to be a little nervous. Just go along with it"
"Okay then, I trust you"
"Very good, very good. Let's see...you seem loyal, brave, fairly intelligent"
"Sorry, I don't really know much about the houses. I think i can remember their names but that's about it"
"No worries! There's Ravenclaw, which is for the most intelligent and unique; Slytherin, for the cunning and ambitious; Gryffindor, for the brave and chivalrous, and Hufflepuff, for the loyal and hardworking"
"I like the sound of the last two"
"Yes, I think you'd do better in either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff"
"So which one?"
"Do you have any preference?"
"Not really. I don't know enough about them to decide"
"Don't you worry, I'll make the decision. Do you see yourself as brave?"
"Yeah, I guess. I don't tend to listen to what mean people say about me, I just kind of shrug it off and carry on"
"Hmm. Do you enjoy adventuring?"
"The muggle world isn't very exciting. I've never really had many adventures; apart from a couple of camping trips, they were great! I can't wait to explore Hogwarts and have some adventures"
"I know what to do with you. Good luck in your house, Mr Creevey, I hope you make the most of the Wizarding World"
"I will!"
"Very good. GRYFFINDOR!"
That's the brave house! Smiling, I slide off the stool and make my way to the Gryffindor house table where everybody is clapping and cheering for me. Wow, it's great here! Everybody seems so friendly! I won't need my camera to remember this!
A/N. Not my best, I don't think, but still enjoyable hopefully! This was a fun one to write :) I wanted to get this chapter out quickly because my recent updates have been slow. The next chapter is going to be Regulus Black because I should've done him ages ago! As always, leave a review, I LOVE hearing feedback and suggestions for improvements. Thanks so much for reading :)
