"Weasley, Dominique"
Dominique made her way up to the front of the hall, the last student to be sorted this year. It put her at ease that Professor Longbottom had taken over the sorting ceremony when Professor McGonagall left, but she was still nervous none the less. She wasn't exactly nervous for the sorting; she was just worried she'd be disappointed with where she was sorted. All her life, Dom had felt like a disappointment to her family. She knew it wasn't true, but she still felt that way. It was hard not to when she had a sister like Victoire and Aunts, Uncles, parents and grandparents that had fought in the war.
As she sat down, Neville sent her a reassuring smile before placing the hat on her head.
"Another Weasley, you're not going to be as difficult as your sister, are you? No, no you aren't."
Dominique wasn't surprised when the hat started talking, if there was one thing Victoire was good for it was telling everyone's secrets, and that had included breaking the Weasley tradition of not letting younger relatives know about the sorting ceremony.
What do you mean difficult? Dom asked, intrigued with how her mind compared to her sisters.
"That is none of your business. Now, where will you be sorted? You have a good mind, headstrong and passionate. Oh, you're easy to sort. Your house will be thrilled to have you… GRYFFINDOR!"the hat told her in such a rush that Dominique barely had time to register what she'd heard before she felt the hat lifted off her head.
Maybe this won't be such a disappointment, Dom thought as she headed towards the thunderous applause of the Gryffindor table.
AN: I tried not to make the hat too, human this time. Just a matter of fact hat as he should be. Let me know what you think pretty please?
