"McAlistor, Marigold."
Marigold walked forwards with trembling legs as fast as she could to the stool and placed the hat on her head. Good thing it slipped down her eyes, she didn't want to see everyone staring at her.
Ahh. I remember you're father, Marigold. Marigold jumped. She hadn't realized it was a talking hat.
Er, okay? she thought, hoping she was communicating with the hat and not just making things up.
Loyal, yes, I see, but brave too. Willing to stand up for herself, interesting. Smart, too.
Um, have you made your decision yet? she thought timidly. If a hat could laugh, it would have just done so.
Impatient, eh? I have to say, you are a mixture of personalities. But it has to be...
HUFFLEPUFF!
Marigold's heart skipped a beat. Hufflepuff! She was so excited! She whipped the hat off and skipped towards her house, who was cheering for her.
