Chapter 10, Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry
Annie, Jazz, and Kiwi waited quietly in Professors McGonagall's study on the first floor. A clock hung on the back wall, ticking away slowly, dragging on each second. Annie was becoming fidgety, Jazz started hum but was silenced by a sharp elbow in the arm.
"Owe, what was that for." Jazz mumbled as she nursed her arm.
"Stop humming, it's annoying."
Jazz was about to retort back when the door flung open. A tall black haired witch in an emerald-green robe stood on the doorway. She had a stern face and her hair pulled back into a tight bun.
"Well hello and welcome to Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry." She said. "I am Professor McGonagall. Now then lets see." She floated by the girls and sank into her chair behind her desk. Opening up a big old door, she pulled out a wad of papers and stated to scan through them. Mumbling an "I see," and "that's interesting," every now and then.
Jazz looked over and made a funny face cause Annie to stifle a laugh. Kiwi shot them a warning look before turning back to the professor. Annie stuck out her tongue at Kiwi.
"Well we shall have to get you three sorted into your houses wont we?" Professor McGonagall pulled out an old wizard's hat. It was patched and frayed, not to mention extremely dirty.
"Aunt Petunia wouldn't have let that in the house." Said a voice. Jazz looked around her to see where the voice had come from. 'What was that?'
"Now this is the Sorting Hat," Professor McGonagall started speaking, "We simply put in on your head and it'll tell us what house you are most likely to fit in. Don't be afraid, it won't bite." She picked up the old hat and placed it on top off Kiwi's head.
Jazz smirked when she saw her sister cringe in disgust as the old dusty hat was placed onto her silky smooth, clean, hair. In a few quite moments "Ravenclaw" echoed through out the room. "Very well, Miss Taylor, look's like you'll be in Ravenclaw." Professor McGonagall then put the hat on Annie. "Gryffindor!" the hat shouted.
Now it was Jazz's turn. She wasn't sure why she was so nervous, perhaps it was because she was hoping to be in Annie's house, or that she wished she wasn't so she wouldn't be in the same house as Harry, whatever it was, it was making Jazz's stomach uneasy. Timed seem to slow, as Professor McGonagall took the hat off of Annie's head and turned towards Jazz. The clock's ticking soon became louder, droning on, ticking with every step the professor took. Her heart beating faster and faster till it felt like her heart would jump out of her chest. A cold sweat appearing as Professor McGonagall stood in front of Jazz, carefully placing the Sorting Hat onto her head.
'Hmm… lets see now. Ah, yes, now this is very interesting…' said a samll voice in her ear. 'What's very interesting?' Jazz asked.
'You're going to be very difficult to place… But what's this?'
'What's what?' Jazz gulped, praying that it wasn't bad news.
'Not Gryffindor, that's rare.'
'I never said not Gryffindor'
'So you do want to be in Gryffindor. Hmm… Brave at heart, sharp as a tack, the wish to prove yourself, but what's this? Ah, a very unique talent, now I see why.'
'Um, so have you picked where I'm supposed to go, every one's looking at me weird.'
'Very well...'
Mwahaha, where will she go? Will it be Gryffindor? Slithering? Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw? Tune into the next chapter to find out!

Ravenclaw
Hufflepuff
