AN: I've never had much of a headcanon about Victoire and, like most of the other next gen kids, this is the first time I'm writing her so feedback would be nice. What I did imagine of her was that she'd take after her mum, but have some of the Weasley traits that she tries to hide.

"Weasley, Victoire"

Victoire heard Professor McGonagall's voice but was already striding confidently up to the stool at the top of the hall. She was the last student to be sorted this year, and consequently the last student to be sorted by Professor McGonagall, so had started her walk as soon as the previous student had gone to sit down. She had expected all the eyes that were on her; Teddy had told her about his sorting the previous year and how many stares and whispers he'd gotten and he suspected her last name would earn her some more, which it did.

Walking to the hat, Victoire found herself wondering about the Headmistress. It was known that while Uncle Harry was at school Professor McGonagall was the Deputy Head and Head of Gryffindor, and with that she directed the sorting ceremony each year. However, since she had become Headmistress she hadn't dropped that extra job. She was retiring at the end of this year and the Deputy Head, Professor Lapaine, would be taking the role that she was vacating. Victoire was pleased that she had been sorted this year, it meant that she was able to see what Professor McGonagall was like in a school setting (she had, of course, met her before she started school since she was now considered a family friend) as Victoire suspected it would greatly differ from how she was outside.

As the hat was placed over her head, Victoire remained calm and collected as her mother had taught her. She refused to react when the voice started speaking in her head, even though she hadn't expected it. Somehow, her mother had learnt of the Weasley tradition of not letting the children know about the sorting ceremony until they get sorted themselves and insisted that they follow that tradition. Her mother, while perfectly lovely, was a little naïve and did give in to the whims of the Weasleys a little too often.

"The first of the Weasley's eh? I expected you to want to go into Gryffindor like the rest of your family," the hat told her after a second had passed.

I am not my family. Victoire replied, a slight French accent to her thoughts. Plus my mother did not attend Hogwarts.

"All very true, I am just used to this new Weasley brain; I expect the next few years shall be interesting for me."

That it may be, but for now please get to sorting me! Victoire replied with a certain arrogance, showing that maybe she was more cut out for Gryffindor than she thought. However, Victoire had made up her mind on where she was going to be sorted and was confident that the hat would follow her decision.

"My, my. So arrogant!" the hat exclaimed. "Are you sure you don't belong in Gryffindor?"

I have made my choice, I am sure! Victoire replied, even though she was getting annoyed she still held the confidence in her voice that she was known for.

"Very well," the hat told her before shouting to the hall, "RAVENCLAW!"
