Getting sorted.

As the students enter the great hall they are welcomed into a very big and well lit hall full of students and staff. In the middle an old man with a very long beard. In front of him a hat that moves and can talk. One by one Professor McGonagall calls them up to get sorted into their houses. As the hat calls up Malfoy, and he sits down even before the hat is on his head, the hat straight away shouts out " Slytherin!". Ron says that the worst wizard in history was in Slytherin. Then straight away Harry thinks "Please not Slytherin". The hat calls Ron up next then Hermione and and they both get into Gryffindor. As the hat calls Harry up Dumbledore sits up in excitement and curiosity to see what house he gets put into. As the hat gets placed on his head it speaks. " Hmm hard Slytherin will help you on your way to greatness". But Harry keeps repeating "Not Slytherin not Slytherin" Then finally the hat says " Well if not Slytherin then.... Gryffindor!". Immediately the crowd cheers and Dumbledore sits up and claps his hands and then Harry takes his seat next to Ron. At this moment he is feeling quite happy but as we learn later on there is more to learn about his life in Gryffindor and his friends and his family and his destiny.
