A/N: Couldn't find Professor Sprouts name which is the explanation for the title. Alec6427, I plan to do some characters only mentioned once of twice in the book but if I don't plan to create characters to put in the chapters.
Chapter Twenty-Six: Sprout, Professor
"Sprout, ?" The deputy Headmistress almost yelled at me, waking me up from the almost trance-like sleep I had been in. I don't like being locked away for most of the year every year but I don't really like having to do all the students at once. Especially when it is a big year. Like this one.
I looked to the side of me and saw a short girl, walking towards me. After what seemed like an eternity, during which I wanted to yell out loud that she should hurry up, she put me on her head. Not a comfortable experience. She could have at least washed her hair first.
Hi carrot.
What?
What what?
What are you talking about?
What? All I said was Hi Potato.
What? Hang on, you said Hi carrot. Why?
Nothing Miss broccoli.
What are you going on about? I don't understand.
Then I think it's obvious which house you should be in then. If you don't understand me.
For your information. I wanted to go there anyway.
Really? 'This had flawed my plans a bit.'
Yes. I do want to join Ravenclaw.
Ravenclaw? 'I laughed a bit and almost said it out loud. Which would have meant that I would have put her in it.
What is wrong with my plan?
Nothing. Nothing at all Cabbage. I just don't think you're right for Ravenclaw.
Why?
Books or plants.
Plants.
Quidditch team place or good NEWT results?
Quidditch team place.
Herboligy or Muggle Studies?
Herboligy.
See. My point exactly Lettuce.
What is with the vegetables? I don't get it.
Think about for a while. You might understand eventually.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" I yelled. Eager to get the sorting over with before she realised what the vegetables were and yelled at me for it.
Some of the hall were laughing. Most were in fact, apart from the Hufflepuff table. She was their leader after all. Noone likes it to be suggested that their leader may be incompetent.
On the subject of incompetence and ignorance, there was someone who would top the pile every time. Rubeus Hagrid.
A/N: Update news. One chapter of this planned for the sixth (January) and five planned for the tenth (January.) Reasons on profile. The last one of the five will have one that people kept asking for.
