Bonnie made her way into the great hall with the rest of her fellow first years. Her eyes were open so wide trying to take it all in. Was she seeing that right? The ceiling is actually changing! Bonnie was sure she had never been in a room this huge before. Looking around she noted the 4 other tables. Okay so these must be the houses people had been talking about. Now she was to be sorted into one but how?

She waited as patiently as she could and watched trying to get her mind to understand what was happening. So I have to go up there sit down and put some old looking hat on, whilst everyone watches. Excellent. As she got closer to the front Bonnie could feel her stomach flipping over inside.

‘Ness, Bonnie!’

She heard a few sniggers, yes that made her Bonnieness - this was not the first time and unlikely to be the last. Bonnie shakily made her way up to the stool, now would be a terrible time to trip. She felt the hat slipped onto her small head and then…darkness.

‘Ah what do we have here?!’

Bonnie was sure she let out a whimper. At first she thought the voice was someone shouting at her before realising it was the hat. It was still going on although she wasn’t taking it all in, then it shouted again,

‘GRYFFINDOR!’

She heard a round of applause as the hat was pulled off her head. Feeling more relaxed that was over, Bonnie hopped up and made her way to the welcoming faces of her new house.
