What the Hat Told You
Longbottom, Neville
By Seereth
My, says the Hat.
Neville says nothing, just sits miserably with a puzzled Sorting Hat on his head and a school that is in for a long wait.
Maybe – no, says the Hat. Or – no. You could go – Um. Look, are you sure you're supposed to be here?
Yes! Neville says.
Well, you've got the blood for Slytherin –
No, Neville interrupts.
Easy, easy. You're not bookish enough for Ravenclaw. The Hat pauses. I wonder why it always comes down to Hufflepuff or Gryffindor? But…Well, no. It's your choice.
Gryffindor, says Neville (quite relieved.)
All right, says the Hat doubtfully. ...GRYFFINDOR!
