Hugo Weasley – 2019

To say Hugo Weasley was nervous was an understatement. He was positively terrified. If Lily became a Gryffindor, and it was a well known fact that she would be, it would be down to him to complete the set. But if he didn't get in, he would be the first Weasley in several generations that was not a Gryffindor. Yes Hugo Weasley was terrified.

He briefly heard Lily's name being called and turned to see her confidently stride up to the stool, Hugo wished he could be as brave and as confident as Lily. Within a few moments she was announced a Gryffindor. Hugo's heart began to hammer uncontrollably. When he saw Lily arrive at the table and be draped in the scarlet and gold flag he felt the beginning of tears prickling in his eyes. He really was going to be the one to let everyone down.

He counted 5 more children in the line to go before him. The wait was agonizing but eventually he heard the words.

'Weasley, Hugo'

The hall went silent; he could feel everybody's eyes on him. They, like his family, were waiting to see if Gryffindor got the complete set. Hugo felt the overwhelming pressure mount as he tried to concentrate on his echoing steps up to the stool but couldn't stop looking around the hall to see hundreds of eyes trained on him.

Hugo sat on the stool and took one last look at his family. Then it was just him and the hat.

Ah, the final Weasley. I'm guessing that everyone's hoping Gryffindor get the complete set eh?
Um, yes.
Must be a lot of pressure on you then.
Yes.
Not a talkative one are we?
Oh sorry. I'm just nervous.
Yes, completely understandable.
So are you going to sort me? I'd rather get this over with.
Yes, of course. Now let's see, you are very confident are you? Why on earth are you convinced you aren't going to become a Gryffindor?
I don't know really, I suppose I don't think I'm the right 'fit'
Not the right fit? Tell me, how many members of your family are in Gryffindor?
Um all of them?
Yes, every last one. And I know that you of all people can tell me how different they are.
Well, everyone is pretty much different.
Exactly, and if every last one of them has become a Gryffindor, what's to say you won't be?
So you're putting me in Gryffindor?
Oh not yet, I still need to have a look at you. Now let's see, you're loyal, hard working, determined, a bit of a push over. I'd say a good Hufflepuff so I guess I should announce it…
NO!
What?
I want to be a Gryffindor.
Are you sure?
Positive.
Very well then…
Wait, really?
Of course. You Hugo Weasley have displayed a great sense of bravery.
I have?
Oh yes, you were positively shaking when you got up here because you feared you would not be good enough for Gryffindor, and yet you have made the decision to take on the challenge. And I know you'll be just fine.
Gryffindor then?
Of course. 'GRYFFINDOR!'

As the word echoed throughout the hall, there were whoops and cheers, but not just from the Gryffindor table. Up at the staff table galleons were exchanged for bets that had been made years ago. Professor McGonagall seemed to be making her rounds and at the end of it seemed to be a lot richer. The cheers on the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff table where the same volumes as when they gained a new student. The Gryffindor table was a whole different story. Every student was clapping and cheering. There was some standing on the tables shouting at the top of their voices. And as for Hugo's family, they were all standing in a together in a large group waiting for Hugo to arrive.

When he finally reached the Gryffindor table he ran straight into Lily's arms to be pulled into a bone crushing hug. His family then enclosed around him with Hugo being passed around from cousin to cousin. It goes without saying that the celebrations continued well on into the night, for both Gryffindor, staff and the Potter Weasley Clan.
