 The REAL Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw!" This monkey is bananas.
Just how in the world was he supposed to get that wand movement right? It seemed impossible to do as he watched others attempting to get it done with little success. It seemed you needed to be double jointed, flip your head upside down blink three times then twirl before you could get it right. But, being a determined boy William knew he'd get it eventually. Eventually meaning before the meeting was over. Yup.
Ok, so rolling it between your fingers and then what? he thought pausing in his gazing of his wand to look at the others once more. It seemed he wasn't the only one to sit there looking blankly before trying it. He was a klutz normally, and rolling a wand between his fingers seemed like a task he couldn't do. But he'd try. Holding his wand in his left hand he tried rolling it, and it immediately fell. Catching it before it hit the ground he frowned, trying again. This time he managed to twirl it, but the fat end stuck where the short end should be. Grunting slowly he kept trying, twirling and twisting and grunting and sighing.
Eventually after nearly twenty minutes of twisting his wand between his fingers he had done it without dropping it. Now all he needed to do was the flick. So twist wand between fingers, then flick and say the incantation. Easy peasy Will he thought twirling his wand again in his fingers before flicking it. His hand was getting sore now. His face was so full of concentration that it was going red, his tongue sticking out slightly as he kept trying it out, twisting his wand before trying to flick it. The darn thing kept dropping from his hand, bouncing on his lap before spinning.
Ugh.
Tilting his head he took a breath, his hand loosely holding the wand. "Look I don't like you right now and normally I LOVE you Wandella, but seriously you need to twist around my fingers before flicking, okay?" yeah so he had named his wand so what? Everyone did it at some point right? As if the wand could understand him he attempted it again; this time his wand twisted perfectly in his hand before flicking. "There, was that so hard?" he grumbled. He'd stop trying the movements now as professor True-Awesome - man went on about the incantation.
"Loricatus Loricatus Loricatus." he muttered, trying to get the incantation done correctly. It seemed much easier than the wand movement and he kept chanting it, his wand secured on his lap in case he even thought of trying it out.
