Chapter 2: Checking for Wrackspurts.
As we stepped into the Great Hall, everybody in the line was buzzing with excitement and anticipation. How were we to be sorted into he four Hogwarts houses? I heard a red headed girl murmur something about trolls. I hope not, I think to myself. Trolls have been proven to be part of the "Shaded Willow" Plot, which involves werewolves and... It's a long story. Once we were all stood in a line in front of the entire school, Professor McGonagall answered our question for us- or rather, the shabby hat on the stool did.
"Many years ago in ancient times,
Too long ago to measure,
2 great witches and 2 great wizards,
Formed Hogwarts School together
The four good friends said to each other
Well who is worthy to be taught?
Clever Noble Pure or Modest
And so our foursome fought
Dear Ravenclaw she wanted those,
With a brain of a decent size
Sly Slytherin, he chose the ones
With only Pureblood ties
Brave Gryffindor thought those who
Had courageous hearts and minds,
Fair Hufflepuff just took them all
And taught them all to shine.
So the founders had their houses,
And Hogwarts was a school,
But what was Hogwarts going to do
Should the founders fall?
That's where I came from, I say
The hat from Gryffindors' head
So put me on your bonce, my dears,
And I'll choose your house instead!"
The Hall erupted into cheers and clapping, it overwhelmed me a bit and I had to fiddle with the tassels on my scarf to calm me down. Professor McGonagall started calling names and I listened as people got sorted into the various houses. I wonder what it was like for Mum and Dad to be sorted. Were they scared? I thought to myself.
"Lovegood?"
"Luna Lovegood?"
"MISS LOVEGOOD"
I awoke from my daydream and went to sit on the small stool as the beady eyed Professor placed the hat on my head. The hat started to talk, but I don't think the rest of the school could hear. I closed my eyes so I couldn't see their intent gazing.
"Hmm. Lets have a little look." The hat said, in a deep voice.
"Hello Mr Hat!" I thought, brightly.
"Hello, Luna. Now, some brain there, very nice… ah, but some courage as well... Gryffindor or Hufflepuff… let me see…" The hat continued to umm and ahh to itself.
"Mr.Hat? I was wondering whether you could check for any signs of Wrackspurt in there. My brain went a bit fuzzy just now and it may have been..." I was cut off as the Hats voice suddenly booms to the rest of the eager school
"Ravenclaw!" The hat is taken off my head and I go to sit at the clapping table. One girl looks at my ear rings and whispers into her friend's ear. I smile at her and she laughs. I sit down nest to a girl slightly older than me who has long dark hair and I smile contently and touch the silky scarf round my neck. I am so happy; I got the house I wanted.
Ravenclaw.
My mother's house.
