Ronald Weasley

"Weasley, Ronald!"

A positively green red headed boy climbed shakily up and jammed the Hat firmly on his head. The Hat groaned.

ANOTHER Weasley?

Oh..oh my goodness..yes..hello..please don't put me in Slytherin, please, please, please, please, please –

The Hat was going to tell the boy exactly how annoying all Weasleys were, but then he saw something that he couldn't resist telling the boy about..You're a very lucky boy.

Er, how in the slightest way am I lucky? I have five brothers and they're all older than me and all my things are second hand and they did everything first and I'm poor as a sheep –

What is it with Weasley and the expression 'poor as a sheep'? Your brother Percy used it too.

And Percy's a Prefect and he'll probably be made Head Boy too and then everything'll be done first and then they'll be nothing left for me to do..how am I lucky? And where did that all come from..

Deep inside you.

You annoy me a bit, you know.

It isn't wise to insult the Hat that will decide your future, you know.

Oh yeah. Sorry. PLEASE don't put me in Slytherin! Also, why am I lucky?

Oh, that. Because you've already found your one true love.

..

..

..

..

..WHAT?

The question should be, who.

WHO..?

A young Hermione Granger..

WHAT? I met her on the train and I HATE her! Ugh! No! I do NOT love Hermione Granger! UGH! NO! UGH!

Not now you don't, but you will..

UGH! I'M ELEVEN!
You won't always be..in any case, sorting you. You have nothing on you for Slytherin, nothing at all.

Oh thank goodness..

You aren't at all clever enough for Ravenclaw. And you're very unfair in some aspects –

Hey!

You are. You get angry at people for miniscule things and might seek revenge in unfair ways. Classic Weasley, I suppose. But..you are brave. Extremely brave. You would give your life for a friend. That can only equal to..

"GRYFFINDOR!"
