"Harry, have you seen the new 1st years?" whispered Ron. "Look at that one." Ron pointed at a pretty girl with long blonde hair.
"Uh-huh." Harry replied. He was busy talking to Seamus Finnagan.
"Hey, Hermione, what do think about her?" Again, Ron pointed at the blonde girl.
"Ron, be quiet!" said Professor McGonnagal before Hermione could answer.
The threesome was in the great hall with everyone else and they were all looking at the 1st years who would soon be sorted.
The sorting hat sang it's usually song and the sorting began.
"Mel Ashby!" the hat shouted.
Little Mel went up to the hat and placed it on his tiny head.
"Hufflepuff!" the hat said in a booming voice after a matter of seconds.
Name after name was called and Ron didn't pay any attention to any of the them until the blonde girl was called.
"Belle Singe!"
Belle went up and slowly put the hat on her head. Ron stared and was saying in his mind: Gryffindor, Gryffindor, Gryffindor… After a long wait of over 5 minutes the sorting hat shouted out, "Slytherin!"
Ron's mouth was open while he stared at the Slytherin table shouting and welcoming Belle. He knew that Belle would soon be Malfoy's girlfriend because like Ron, Malfoy was also staring at Belle.
After dinner Ron, Harry, and Hermione went up to the common room.
"I can't believe she's a Slytherin," Ron said sadly.
"Well I'm glad. There was something about her that was just weird. I've heard her name somewhere…" Hermione replied.
Lavender, who overheard their conversation said, "Oh, that Belle Singe is weird. Seamus says she's from France or something. I don't see why she isn't at Fleur's school. I think I should send Fleur an owl to check up on Belle."
"Stop it! I think she's wonderful!" yelled Ron.
"But Ron, you've never even met her," said Harry.
"Well I will someday and you'll see, you'll all see that she's not some complete weirdo freak! I'll show you that she's completely normal! And then you'll see how wrong you were to make fun of her!" And with that Ron stormed up to his bed.
