Chapter Twenty-Three: Creevey, Colin
I actually saw him go red when I announced that I was going to tell his sorting to the rest of the school. He also shot a half hidden glance at that Potter boy. The definite star of his sorting.
"Creevey, Colin." McGonagall said wearily. It must be hard being a deputy head, you have to read out the names for the sorting! I don't know why she's complaining though. It's quite a bit harder to sort people. That's a lot harder than a list. Sometimes it's a lot harder.
Hi!
Whatever. 'I had decided then that I didn't like him. He was definatly too chirpy. This hadn't been the best of sorting days seeing as someone had forgotten to get me and only managed to just before the first years got in.'
Aren't you going to say hi?
No.
Why not?
Just pick a house. I've still got lots to do after you and I want to get some rest.
Well, which house should I pick?
I don't know. Do you have any siblings here?
No.
Any friends, wait, scrap that question...
I met this girl on the train here, Ginny something.
Oh great, another Weasley, this day just keeps getting better and better. Gryffindor then.
How did you know that. You haven't even seen her yet.
Trust me kid. When you've seen as many Weasley's as I have you learn that nothing is guess work in that family.
So, are you putting me in Gryffindor then?
Yes. Keep up.
I don't know if I want to go Gryffindor.
Huh? Look, I already told you that I am having a really bad day, now if you don't pick a flippin' house then I'll won't sort you at all and you'll be on the first muggle mode of transport back to whatever little slimy hole you crawled out of, got it yet?
You don't have to so mean. I just want to know what kind of people are in there.
Didn't you listen to my song?
Yes but I wanted to know who is in there. Specifically.
Urrm, the Weasleys, most of the muggle borns. People defined in my song. Harry Potter...
Hang on a second!
What now?
Harry Potter is in Gryffindor? I knew that he was in the school, somewhere, in Gryffindor?
Yes, that's why I said that he was in Gryffindor, because he is. How much more dumber can you get.
Can I take a photo of you?
That much dumber then. What are you talking about?
I take photos of people. I hope to do it for a living when I get older. It's just so simple and innovative.
Wow, that baby made a sentence with a really big word in. I think that it's time for him to move house.
Huh?
You're not using a muggle camera are you?
Yeah, of course.
Won't work.
What won't work.
A muggle camera. Probably anyway, I don't know much about what type of technology does actually work around here. A wizard camera would, plus you can take photos that move and all.
Really? That is "so cool!" 'He actually ended up saying the end of his sentence of loud. Photo-maniac-idiot.
Just think, if you got a wizard camera then you could take moving pictures of the fabled Harry Potter.
Really? That really "is so cool." 'Maybe he was a Harry-Potter-obsessed-star-struck-photo-maniac-idiot.'
You have to go away to be able to do that though don't you.
Huh?
It's time for you to go live you're own life now. It's over between us. I'm sop sorry. I just can't go on with you. In time,. I'm sure you'll find another hat to replace me. One that, doesn't mind stupid idiots who do not leave them alone. There, is new life out there for you. So, this is goodbye.
You know, you're sounding more and more sarcastic everytime you talk.
Ya think?
"GRYFFINDOR!"
It had actually taken a while to sort him. Quite a long while actually. I hate it when people take a long time to be sorted. Like that stupid Irish boy. Whatshisname. Seamus Finnigan. Yeah, that was it.
A/N: The next chapter probably won't be up during the week this time as I'm going to try and update some of my other ones. It shouldn't be up too much later though.
