In the life of Elena
Flint
Chapter five
A few other unfamiliar names were called before i heard
"Malfoy, Draco" I looked at him as he smoothly walked
to the stool and sat down. His face was white and his green eyes
were wide. i saw him muttering
"slytherin,slytherin,slytherin,please,slytherin"
"strange" the hat crooned "So unlike all the other
Malfoys...Brave, strong, Gryffindor
perhaps?"
he continued to mutter slytherin under his breath
"I see..." the hat said softly before shouting
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Flint, Elena" that was it i caught Draco's eye as
i walked up, but he ignored me. "Charming" i
muttered.
I sat down on the stool, i felt more self conscious of my bright
red hair more than ever. The hat was places upon my head. It then
spoke to me. It was in my head, I'm sure of it.
"Oh Elena, what to do with you?" it said in a tired
voice "You could go in any of the four houses..." it
paused "Maybe less slytherin but none the less..." it
continued to mumble a bit.
People at the tables started to whisper. The sorting hat never
took this long.
I saw Jake's desperate gaze and just as i was about to start
muttering Gryffindor just as Draco had done, i also caught
Draco's gaze on me.
I didn't know what to do, i started to fiddle with my hair, i
always did it when i was uncertain.
"Young love..." the hat sighed before crying
"GRYFFINDOR!!!"
Relief crossed his face, but not happiness like Jakes had
done.
What do you
guys think?
