The Sorting Hat
Silence filled the air
pure silence
As Heejin walked up to the chair
No whispers heard
Heejin was shocked as to how she was able to keep calm and continue walking.
Everyones stares hit her back like daggers. Some dirty stares from slytherin and lots of other happy stares from Gryffindor. Heejin walked up to the seat at last and sat.
If walking to the seat didnt make her nervous, she was nervous now. Her eyes wondered to some familiar faces, then her eyes met one girl with black hair and black eyes. She had a baby like face but looked intimidating. Way more intimidating then Gowon. Heejin looks back to her friends to see them awkwardly trying to cheer her on. Chuu has one hand in the air carved as a fist. After a second Yves imitates her even though shes sat at another table. Kim Lip didnt follow and in stead just gave her a soft smile.
Then, the hat spoke “hmmm curious indeed…”. A bit of silence creeped in until. “Gryffindor!” Heejin had no clue why Gryffindor was so happy to have her in their house. Maybe the same thing as Gowon. Had they seen some favorable traits in her also? Heejin walked up to a seat and was then bombarded by questions. Many of the people asking were seniors.
The dining room was loud all of a sudden. “What’s your name!” “Heejin”
“Do you like quidditch” “Yes! I’ve been playing it ever since I knew how to ride a broom, my dad taught me all the basics and then I just picked up from there” Now the griffindors looked even happier. Heejin looked happy too, as quidditch was a very important part of gryffindor and her life.
The hat the cleared its throat as a way to say ‘shut up’
everyone shut their mouths as the next name followed.
“Kim Hyunjin”
Heejin felt her hand craft a fist and her throat go dry. She knew where she’d go. Hyunjin went up with her dark brown hair that reached slightly above her shoulders. Her face was lit up with confidence that crossed the line of arrogance.
most of her other compartment friends were already sorted into their houses except for the doll like girl with pink hair who was seated next to her. The girl clapped a bit and the two other girls although in different houses, clapped as well. They looked really awkward since it was obvious they didn’t know what to do, but they continued to clap anyways.
She strutted confidently like a cat in its owners house. She sat on the chair with the same silence that filled up the room when Heejins name was called. Either the silence was deserved, or everyone was still trying to recover over Heejin’s name being called.
Heejin knew where Hyunjin would get sorted, and she was happy that she wouldn’t have to see her until the hat stated “surprisingly there are two places you could get sorted into. Slytherin,” The slytherin roared although it sounded more like barking. “and griffindor” The gryffindor around me looked confused and
Heejin was terrified. She will not be in the same house as her worst enemy. Then the hat continues “Your personal references are also taken into consideration… due to this fact, you will be placed in… Slytherin”
The slytherin roared/barked again but louder. Should it be called slythering?
Heejin let out a huge sigh of relief. Nobody asked her why she was so reliefed which made her confused. What confused her more is that others were doing the same. “Why are you relieved?” Heejin asked a girl with black hair and a pink highlight next to her. “Oh… That’s because I don’t know. I don’t think she would suit gryffindor, and i don’t think we’d get a long.” Heejin replied with the obvious “Oh trust me, we don’t get along.”
Then the hat called a couple of other names until a name gets called out
“Jung Jinsoul”
A girl with a bluish silver hair color comes out. She has attention catching eyes. Her eyes are a royal blue color and they’re very eminent even though she’s very far away. Jinsoul walks up to the chair scoring a slight score of arrogance but not like Hyunjin.
The slytherin seemed to like her as they all looked at her like how a snake looks at a mouse. However Jinsoul didn’t seem like a mouse, more like a snake herself.
Jinsoul sat down for around 15 seconds until the hat called out “Slytherin”
The slytherin slytheringed as she walked up to the bench and found a spot next to Hyunjin.
“What’s your name” Jinsoul called out with an interested tone. Jinsouls eye brow is slightly raised while asking. “Hyunjin” Hyunjin proceeds to answer lightly. Then the two girls enter conversation after conversation.
Slightly around 2 minutes after Jinsoul was called, the hat calls “Kim Lip”
Heejin looks to her two new friends Kim Lip and Yves. She sees Yves put a hand on Kim Lips shoulder as a way to give her confidence however it seems that Kim Lip wasn’t really nervous anyways. Still its the thought that counts. Kim Lip stood up and everyone stayed quiet. “That’s a new friend I made while sitting in the compartment” Heejin says to the surrounding griffindor the gryffindor seem to nod and smile a bit at her.
Kim Lip sits down with slight aloofness but it isnt strongly prominent. The hat takes around 20 seconds until it states “Gryffindor”
Kim Lip half walks half runs to a spot next to me. As she looks slightly reliefed. Perhaps cause Nobody from our compartment ended up in ravenclaw and there’s Hyunjin in slytherin. The gryffindors smiled and laughed at the strange walking running action but then showed her some encouraging glances. “Thank God!” Heejin says. “Yeah, I know… for a minute I thought I’d be placed in slytherin, and i think when that thought came in, sweat started falling from my forehead like rain” Heejin laughed confused by the girls strange expression of how sweat falls like rain. They both then looked to see if Chuu was alright.
Chuu was sitting next to the purple haired hufflepuff and were both talking. They gave each other smiles and then checked on Yves. Yves just sat down, zoned out, probably mentally preparing herself for whats to come, but the two girls had no doubt she would join them. They then moved their eyes to a pair of ravenclaws which were Haseul and Gowon sitting down with a book in front of them. Probably discussing what the book was saying. They then moved their attention behind the Ravenclaw table to seem Jinsoul and Hyunjin talking. Kim Lip looked at Jinsoul mostly. “You know her?” Heejin asked. “No… however she seems… interesting” Heejin lets out a little chuckle and then stare back at their table.
Then the hat states “Olivia Hye”
Olivia Hye had black hair that reached about her shoulders. She had black eyes and if glares murdered, she could massacre a whole village.
Kim Lip looks at me shockingly and murmurs are spread out throughout the room. “She has the Hye family name… That means shes related to Irene” Irene is a master of dark magic, probably if not one of the strongest witches who walked the earth. Olivia Hye walked up ignoring everyones stares. It was strange how such a baby like face could have such intimidating eyes. She walked around and glanced at Yves giving her a death stare. Heejin and Kim Lip both looked at each other confused.
The murmurs had grown so loud that the headmaster himself had to shut the hall up. After shutting them up.
Then she sat down on the chair. She didnt just look intimidating, she looked tired, very tired. Like she studied for hours. Just seconds after she sat down the hat called right away “Slytherin”. Olivia Hye was about to stand up when the hat continued “Your a smart girl… Don’t choose the wrong way”. Olivia Hye seemed a bit shocked and confused but still had an indifferent face.
The slytherin slytherined but this time louder then Heejin or Kim Lips ears can catch on. She calmly walked and sat next to Jinsoul.
From the looks of it, Olivia Hye was staring at someone, but neither Kim Lip nor Heejin knew who.
“So… Your mom is that super strong witch?” Hyunjin asked. Olivia Hye just nodded and looked at her very annoyed. Hyunjin got the memo and continued to talk to Jinsoul.
