The walk through the big double doors that lead into the Great Hall was both intimidating and exciting. The little brunette’s eyes lit up as she gazed at the ceiling and then down at the lines of students that filled the tables on either side of the walkway. They were stood in a clump at the top of the hall where Ruby watched as student after student was sorted by the talking hat. Her lips curled into a tiny smile as she watched in fascination as different houses were called and students clapped. That was until she heard the hat call her name.
“Ruby-May Broadmoor”
She swallowed hard. Her eyes lifted to the stool on the platform at the very front. She felt as if every eye was on her and she had never felt so intimidated in her life. The hat was placed on her head and she stared out ahead at her fellow first year students rather than all the others waiting in anticipation to see what house was called.
"I see you come from a family of Slytherins”
She nodded confirming his statement, amazed by how much the hat knew about her. She was too scared to open her mouth and speak however so she kept it firmly closed.
“But you are not a Slytherin at heart”
The eleven year old bit at her bottom lip. She knew that would be the case. Ruby was not cunning or ambitious. She wouldn't fit into the house and despite both her parents and her sister being Snakes she would feel intimidated stuck under the lake in a dark and atmospheric common room. Ruby wanted desperately to be with her sister but quite frankly she didn't want to have to be a Slytherin to get to her. The lip biting continued as she waited for the hat to announce its thoughts.
“I think you and I both know where you belong.. RAVENCLAW!!”
Ruby couldn't help the smile that fell onto her lips. Ravenclaw had been the house that she had hoped for. Her father could have easily belonged there AND one of her idols Auntie Vashti was one too. The hat was removed from her head and she hopped off the stall and over to the Ravenclaw table.
