A/N I know it's short but I'm studying for standerized tests and I'm on the yearbook staff and don't have a lot of free time. Thanks for the review!

The women who introduced herself as Proffesser McGonagal led the, through a huge foyer to a small chamber and gave them a few minutes to "freshen up"

Then she led them to the Great Hall and organized them in a straight line and brought in a new looking four legged stool and a very torn up hat with a rip in the brim.

Suddenly the hat started to talk! Lily listend amazed as the hat sung about the four houses. At the end of the song the whole student body clapped really, really loud. Then Proffessor McGonagall called them up alphabetically to try on the hat and be sorted.

Out of the group of four girls Claire was the first to try on the hat. The hat waited a couple minutes and then screamed "GRYFFINDOR"

Next was Destiny who as soon as the hat hit her head, also screamed Gryffindor.

Finally it was Lily's turn. When she put on the hat a little voice started talking. "Smart enough for Ravenclaw, cunning enough for Slytherin, yet brave enough for Grtffindor. You are brave enough that you will one day marry someone you believe is your enemy" Lily gasped "so I'd better make it GRYFFINDOR"

Lily went to the table that exploded with people clapping and watched the rest of the sorting.
