Chapter 2. The Sorting Hat and an unexpected guest.
"Hermione Granger."
Hermione looked away. "Oh no. Okay. Just relax." She told herself as she approached the stool. "Mental that one. I'm telling you." Ron whispered to Harry. Ava just stood there and smirked. Every single year people got sorted, she never got sick of seeing their reactions. 'I better get a good house though and they better just call me Ava not-' But Ava's thoughts were cut out by the sorting hat.
"Gryffindor!" Hermione jumped out of her seat and ran to the Gryffindor table. Ron rolled his eyes and groaned. 'Great' he thought.
Ava's head snapped forward at the name of-
"Draco Malfoy." McGonagall's voice rang out and everyone went quiet.
The Hat had barely touched Dracos head when the sorting hat shouted out "SLYTHERIN!"
A big cheer came from the Slytherin table. Draco held his head high, strode over and sat down. He stared directly at Ava. Knowing the consequences if she didn't get into Slytherin.
Ava stared after Draco. She jumped slightly when he turned to look at her.
She could read those eyes like she reads her books, 'you need to get Slythrin.' That was the message.
She sighed, this would be hard. She knew the houses, she was sly, cunning, daring, brave, wise and smart. That's Slytherin, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.
Harry cursed and rubbed his scar. "Harry, whats wrong?" Ron asked looking at him. Ava turned her head to hear the reply "Nothing, it's nothing."
Doesn't look like nothing. Shit, he must be close, Ava thought as she looked around scanning the adults and her gaze rested on the teacher who was sitting next to Snape.
Snape looked at Harry then Ava. Noticing that she was glaring at Quirrel he looked over at him.
"Well this is an unexpected guest". Ava whispered as she glared at him.
When she looked back at the Sorting Hat, Ron jumped down and went to the Griffindor table. Eh, who cares she turned away and looked at the ceiling.
But after a while she noticed that everyone was dead quiet, even Draco.
She whipped around to see Harry sitting on the stool. Strange, she had really good hearing and she didn't hear his name called.
The Sorting Hat seemed to be talking to Harry in his head.
A small smile crept onto her face when she remembered the first time she came across the Sorting Hat.
Flash back;
Ava stumbled up the stairs to the headmasters office and she ran around his room looking at all the pictures. He was down stairs talking to the students before the new first years came.
She giggled as she grabbed the hat on the stool, putting it on her head whilst running around in circles. She shrieked when the Hat said "What are you doing up here young miss?"
The 6 year old girl dropped the hat and ran to the corner, shivering. "You should be in bed before any of the students find a little girl living here, Besides Albus will be back soon." The girl didn't say a thing. She was petrified.
"Now please put me back on my stool." The girl nodded and slowly made her way back to the hat. Picking it up and putting it on the stool. "Thankyou. Now run along, you should have been in bed hours ago." The little girl nodded ran to the stairs but turned around when the Hat called her name. "I can't wait until I sort you into your house. You're an interesting one." Ava just looked confused and ran back down the stairs.
She rounded the corner seconds before The Headmaster appeared.
Dumbledore stopped and listened to the small pitter patter of her feet. He smiled and continued on to get the Sorting Hat.
End of flash back.
Ava looked up to see The Sorting Hat shout "Gryffindor!"
She sighed. Harry was in Gryffindor and Draco was in Slytherin.
Well? Review.
I know it was short but I'm trying.
