Jazzy girl, the best little sister a girl could ask for!

If I owned the Harry Potter series, would I really be writing fanfiction?

Rose woke up to find that Artemis was also awake. She looked at her, blinked, and then blinked again. Then, she spoke, "Hey, you! You! Yes, you with the hair! Have you seen my sister? Madam Pomfrey said that she was here. So, what is it? Yea, or nah?"

Artemis groaned, "Shut up, you twerp! Jazz, can you seriously be that blind not to notice that it is me? I mean, come on! I am not all that different with black hair and no glasses. Heck, unlike you, I have kept my beautiful brown eyes."

"Oh yeah, you mean that ones that Dad says are the color of poop?" laughs Rose.

"Yeah, laugh it up. I get it. In any case, I think that we are supposed to be Sorted later, so perhaps …"

"Perhaps I have clothes for you two," finished Madam Pomfrey. "In fact, Dumbledore would like to see both of you in his office now to be Sorted, so hurry up and get dressed."

The two nodded, and did as they were instructed. Then a portly man entered and introduced himself as the Head of Slytherin, Professor Slughorn. He led them to Dumbledore's office, where the other three Heads of House were waiting for them.

"Here they are, Albus."

"Thank you, Horace. Please, sit down," he said to the girls. "Alright, we'll sort Rose first, then Artemis. Minerva, if you would." McGonagall nodded, and placed the Hat on Rose's head.

Rose heard a voice in her head, and knew it to be the Hat.

Hmm, brave, rash, you sound like a Gryffindor, yet you have this depth that far outdistances the Gryffindorness, your wit is keen, and your intelligence is amazing, which makes Ravenclaw an even likelier choice. You are not all that loyal, but if you were to find a cause that you believed in with your whole heart, you would defend it, and you are quite cunning, especially with all those heists you implemented back in your own time. So, it boils down to two choices for you. Slytherin, or Ravenclaw? Hmm… ahh… certainly. Alright, I've made up my mind. RAVENCLAW!

Rose smirked and nodded, "Naturally."

McGonagall took the Hat off of Roses head and placed it onto Artemis'. It was Artemis' turn to listen to the Hat.

Hmm, wit, it's there, but you often miss the obvious. You are loyal to a tee, making you likely candidate for Hufflepuff. You have courage, yet you let others push you around. And my, my, what have we here? You have a real talent for espionage, replacing everything as it should and the ability to be busy and here almost all the conversations around you easily. You are a quite an enigma. But the best place to put you would be SLYTHERIN!

Yes, it's a shorter chapter, but I really didn't know how I could have made it longer. Oh well, in any case that's the chapter. Thanks for all the reviews, they really lifted my spirits! Ttfn!
