 Bagel Bites Perpetually kept by Erin
Jilly with profound composure walked up to that stool that was facing all the house tables, downright confident with where the sorting hat would sort her. Of course, she knew the Sorting Hat could only put her to the best house in existence; Slytherin, that is. As someone put on her head the creepy sorting hat, probably someone who can bear the creepiness that was the hat, Jilly started to wonder why was the sorting hat not clamoring 'Slytherin' yet but instead babbled about things like 'Loyal, Just, the stuff inside her heart, people's nature, boring, irrelevant stuffs, etc.'
As she so earnestly observed before her own sorting, the Sorting Hat sort the students so, so fast that it wouldn't even touch their scalps but why, now, on this particular situation, would it not sort her fast? She wanted to get this sorting thingy done already. She wanted to sidle up to that long table where the Slytherins were, and socialize and all.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" Jilly looked around, a bit nervously. Who said that? A jerk with distinctive squeaky voice trying to freak her out? NUUUU. But she knew where that squeaky voice had come from. The Sorting Hat. What a jerk, dimwitted hat. Hufflepuff? Jillian Hennessey Applehans, a Hufflepuff? As she compelled herself to totter toward the 'Loser' house, she had this overwhelming urge to pull an act and faint. But then she didn't want to be a laughing stock and be dubbed as the Fainting Girl; she had to come up with a better idea.
And that was the defining moment of her life, she just needed a change of direction. So instead of heading to the Hufflepuff house table, here she was, stealthily paving his way toward the Slytherin house table where she knew she truly belonged.
"HEY PEOPLE!" Jillian uttered, loud and proud, calling people's attention. She sat down on the table, her then quirking mouth forming a broad grin. It felt good to be at this table, it felt like... wow, it was just indefinable, so magical. Something bothersome just continued on bothering her, though, she was a Hufflepuff and she knew, maybe sooner than expected, the Slytherins and the other houses would find out about that... 'cause, duh, the Sorting Hat, so freaking announced to practically everybody that she was a Hufflepuff. But yes, she would just never state outright that she was a Slytherin, not a Hufflepuff. She'd just let things take their course so if ever they find out, and she knew they will, it wouldn't like she lied, no?
