Sadly none of J.K. Rowling's amazing world actually belongs to me.
The Sorting of Colin Creevey
"This is so cool, I can't wait to tell Dennis all about it. I wonder how they made it seem like the hat was talking."
"Well maybe you should ask 'the hat' himself."
"Wait, you really can talk? That AWESOME! Can I take your picture?"
"What?"
"I promised I would take pictures to send to my brother. We're really close and I miss him. I was thinking if I took lots of pictures and sent them to him it would be kind of like he was here too."
"That's very admirable of you."
"So can I take your picture now?"
"I suppose so, but you might want to wait until you take me off. That is unless you would rather take a picture then be sorted."
"Oh, I guess I got a bit ahead of myself."
"No worry, I must admit I quite enjoy sorting muggleborns, you're always so excited about me."
"Your a TALKING HAT of course I'm excited."
"Thank you, but now we best get on to the sorting."
"Oh...um..."
"Don't worry, I'll sort you somewhere that you belong, and yes I promise you will be happy there."
"How are you going to decide?"
"I'm going to read your mind of course."
"YOU CAN READ MINDS!"
"No one ever really listens to my song do they? I'm pretty sure I said "see your thoughts and decide where you belong"...Oh well I guess that's something for me to work on for next year…"
"This is amazing...oh wait until Dennis hears about a mind reading hat..."
"...Maybe I should say it outright, like "I AM GOING TO READ YOUR MINDS" or something like that, I don't know..."
"...Things just keep getting cooler the longer I'm here, I can't wait for Dennis to get his letter also…"
"...It just lacks the proper subtlety of it all. I mean I might as well say these are the four houses and this is who they accept. It just feels boring."
"...unless Dennis doesn't get a letter…"
"I'm sorry, what did you say?"
"What? Oh, I was just thinking to myself."
"Uh-huh, so back to the sorting…"
"Um...Mr. Hat?...Sir?"
"I think we can forget the formality. I am reading your mind after all."
"I was just wondering, can you tell me if Dennis is going to get his letter?"
"I'm sorry I don't know."
"I just...I um...what if he doesn't get one?"
"There are plenty of families who only have a single magical child. I can name several perfectly happy ones off the top of my head."
"I guess so."
"Don't worry about it. You seem like the type who won't give up on anything you think is right. You won't let being in different schools stop you from being close to your brother."
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely. In fact that why I've decided where to sort you."
GRYFFINDOR!
Colin Creevey took off the hat, and then, with a big grin, brought out his camera and took a picture of the sorting hat. Everyone there could swear that in the instant of the picture, the hat was grinning too.
A/N: Hello Everyone! I'm Back! It took me a few days to come up with a sorting that wasn't horribly depressing, but here it is! Thanks for Reading. Please let me know what you think about this story. I really appreciate the feedback.
