"Brown, Lavender"
Everyone is looking at me right now. I can't say I'm not enjoying it though. I'll admit I do like to be the centre of attention most of the time. I would hate to be ignored and overlooked by everyone. I make sure everybody remembers me one way or another; it's normally my confidence, my personality, my good looks or any combination of the three that stand out to everyone I meet. It's true that not everybody likes me – some people can't handle my feistiness – but on the whole, I'm a fairly popular girl. And if people don't like me? Well, chances are I dislike them too. I only get on with certain types of people. I can't stand show offs or snobs or anybody who insults me or my friends.
"Hmm...No shortage in confidence, I see...a fair amount of courage, decent brain, loyal to your friends...what are we going to do with you?"
"I know, I'm kind of complex"
"Well...I've definitely seen minds a lot more complex than yours"
"Oh really?"
"I have sorted hundreds of thousands of students, Miss Brown, so it's hardly surprising"
"Hmph. Where are you going to put me then Sorting Hat?"
"I've decided against Ravenclaw"
"Anything else to add to that?"
"I could imagine you doing quite well in any of the other three houses"
"Like Slytherin? Ew, no way am I going to be in Slytherin!"
"All right then, not Slytherin. May I ask what you dislike about that particular house?"
"They're all horrible people in Slytherin"
"That's not true"
"And they're all crazy pureblood maniacs"
"Aren't you a pureblood?"
"Yes, I am, but I'm not like them. I don't mind Muggles in the slightest"
"That's a good thing. I see you always stand up for what you believe in"
"That's definitely true"
"And you never back down"
"I always go down with a fight. I'm feisty"
"Very true indeed. I think I know now what to do with you. You're confident, strong willed and extremely loyal to your friends. GRYFFINDOR!"
The Gryffindor table give me an enormous applause, much larger than that Abbott girl got from Hufflepuff. Soaking up as much of applause as I can, I sit down as the first first-year Gryffindor this year. And then, in a moment, the attention is passed over to some ugly girl called Millicent, who is sorted into Slytherin. Ugh, why can't everyone be looking at me?
A/N. Sorry I haven't written for a couple of days; I've been non-stop duelling on Pottermore! I always quite liked Lavender personally, even though quite a few people hated her. Who would you like to see sorted next? I've got quite a few chapters planned but I always appreciate suggestions. Please leave a review, I love hearing feedback from the readers! Thank you so much for reading :)
