I approached the stool calmly trying not to trip over my long cloak, still unused to it.
As I took my place on the stool, Professor McGonagall put the Sorting Hat atop my head.
Hmm, didn't it have a name? I wondered.
Yes, child, I do.
I jumped, not expecting to hear its voice in my head. Recovering, I said, My name's Parvati Patil. What is yours, Mr. Hat?
Call me Elphie.
Who named you?
Ah, you are a very inquisitive child. We must get on with the Sorting. You'll find those answers and more if you looked into Hogwarts: A History.
Hmm, let's see. You too like reading, like your sister, but you don't like reading the kind of books she does. Ravenclaw could be good for you. So is Gryffindor. You will go looking for answers and you have got that Gryffindor courage. Where to place you?
Where can I make good friends, Elphie?
Well then. If that's what you want, then better be,
"Gryffindor!"
I was sad I'd be separated from my sister but I looked towards the crowd where the students were clapping and whistling and I blushed, suddenly feeling very shy.
If Elphie really considered my wish for friends I suppose I'll be alright here.
Let me know what you think. Next chapter's also done:-)
