Harry Potter: Serena's Prophecy-Part 1(The Philosopher's Stone)

Chapter 5:The Sorting

The hat on the stool sat calmly and motionlessly, before a rip formed near the brim of it, and to the first years' surprise, it started to sing. With the song finished, the students applaud and the woman in green robes takes out a scroll and calls up the first student. "Hannah Abbott!"
A girl blinks and walks up then sits on the stool. The sorting hat thinks then calls out, "Hufflepuff!" and a table of students applaud. The ceremony continued, a girl named Hermione Granger was put in Gryffindor. Draco was put in Slytherin, along with the pug-faced girl Pansy Parkinson. Ron was put in Gryffindor, and then a name was called that made Serena curious.
"Serenity, Kennedy!"
A voice rang in her head. Your mother was Kristy Kennedy wasn't it? Serena was so busy thinking that she almost never caught the sorting hat call, "Hufflepuff!" The Hufflepuff table cheered yet again and more names were called before, "Harry Potter!"

The hall went silent with anticipation. The hat took a while to call out the house. Finally it said, "Gryffindor!" The Gryffindors roared with applause, above the noise Fred and George could be heard chanting, "we got Potter! We got Potter!" Then there was more names before..."Serena Riddle!" Even more silence followed.

Students who have seen the trophy room were holding the same silence they held for Harry, the Professor's silence, however, was eerie.

Serena walk up and sits on the stool and the hat was placed on her head. The hat was overly big and covered her eyes, the inside was pitch black then a voice whispered to her. "Ah yes, Miss Riddle...your father was and is famous you know! So was your mother...a Slytherin and a Gryffindor...you have qualities of both! What's that? You want to be your Weasley friends? Hmm-oh they're like family ? Touching, touching...but Slytherin is a great house to be in! No? Alright then...s'pose it should be...Gryffindor!" The Gryffindor table cheered and Serena set the hat down then ran to the table to sit down.
