A/N: Ok, so this is Lily. I know she's not exactly a major character, but she's extremely important, so I decided to give her her time in the spotlight. Enjoy!
Sorting Stories
By: Moonlit Seductress
The spry redhead practically skipped over to the stool, copper ponytail bouncing along behind her. One of the other first years leaned so far out of the line to see her that he fell over. He scrambled back into place, face flame red, as Professor McGonagall glared at him.
His mortified expression was the last thing Lily saw before the dark interior of the Hat obscured her eyes. Ha, serves him right, stupid Potter, she thought, grinning.
"Now, is that very nice?"
The voice scared her out of her wits, and she nearly fell off the stool. The voice chuckled. "Sorry. Now, Evans, is that your name?"
Yes, Lily thought, a little less confident now. "Hmm," the Hat mused. "Never sorted an Evans before, you're my first. Welcome to Hogwarts, my dear – am I right in assuming you are from a Muggle family?"
Yes, Lily replied again. A little shiver of pride made her sit up straighter, her smile widening. I'm the first from my family to have magical powers.
"I see," the Hat said. "Well, congratulations to you. Now, I really must get on with this – can't chat with all the new students, can I?" Lily giggled. Who knew the Hat had a sense of humour?
"Alright then…hmm…you have a loving heart, my dear. You're courageous and bright, and you're a natural born leader. Let's see…Ravenclaw sounds good…but no, no, you're much better suited for GRYFFINDOR!" The Hat shouted to the rest of the school, and once again, the red and gold table applauded loudly. As Lily pulled the hat off, she watched Potter give her a true smile and a thumbs up. She couldn't help but smile back.
Maybe he's not so bad after all…
:Fin:
A/N: Please review. Next up is Remus, then Peter, and after that, I might left the readers vote for who they want to see next. Thanks!
