Lame. Standing in line surrounded by a bunch of little kids and putting on a hat in front of everyone in the entire room? It was super lame. Maybe if she was a first year, or if she hadn't been sorted out seven years ago at Beauxbatons, or... if her mother wasn't up on the dais crying like it was her job to embarrass her daughter, maybe if all those things were true, it wouldn't be nearly as lame.
"Genevieve Branxton."
When it was her turn, Genevieve sat on the stool and immediately pulled the hat low over her eyes so she couldn't see any of the eyes watching. Maybe people generally didn't care about the Sorting. Maybe no one was watching. Just get it over with, please.
"Hm. The other Branxton twin. Interesting, interesting. I suppose you want to go with your sister."
Genevieve ignored the hat. Of course she wanted to go with her sister, and it was a stupid sort of hat that would ask a question like that. She was a Ravenclaw legacy, and this was all a formality. But the hat seemed to take her silence personally, and they both ignored each other for a few minutes.

Sigh.
"Maybe Gryffindor. You have a finally tuned sense of fair play and..."
No.
The hat seemed amused that it had finally gotten a reaction out of her. "Then let it be RAVENCLAW."
Genevieve whipped the hat from her eyes, gave her mother a pointed look, and stalked off to join her new housemates.
