We all arrived in the entrance hall of Hogwarts, Neville and I still shivering and wet. An old woman I new was Ms. Mogonagall came rushing up to us.

"Good your here. The sorting will begin in a few minutes so you all just wait right here. And what happened to you two? Goodness me this happens every year." She waved her wand over is and suddenly out clothes where dry. Now then, I will call you in for the sorting shortly, prepare yourselves." She walked back into the main hall briskly.

Suddenly everyone started to freak out. Hermione was rehearsing all of the spells she knew. Harry and Ron were frantically whispering about what they thought would happen. Poor Neville next to me looked terrified.

I guess I was the only one who had seen a sorting before. I had even tried on the old sorting hat before. It always said the same thing.

"Yes yes. Your a very peculiar one aren't you. You have a heart of ruby, a mind of emerald. A body of diamond and actions of sapphire. You know what you must do for others which leads you one way, but that very thought leads you another. You know what you really want but knowing what you truly want leads you in a a fourth direction. Yes yes." Then Sev had come in and plucked it off her 8 year old head.

The next year she tried it on again. It continued on with its story. "Yes yes small one your still just as complex, growing more every time we meet yes yes. You were born with an extraordinary gift at an extraordinary cost." Then again Sev came in and told that I wasn't supposed to touch thing that weren't mine.

Then last year I tried for a final time to hear the hats whole story. Before I could speak Dumbledor came into his office. He calmly sat at his desk and crossed his arms.

"Well how are you going to hear the whole story from the start if you don't put the hat on your head?" Dumbledor spoke out. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I don't blame you for being curious." He flicked his wand and the doors locker. I smiled with relief and waited for then end of its tale.

"Again and again you come back to me in search of the answers. Well you see for a child like yourself I hold not the answer but the question. Which house do you want to be in? Each will lead you to a different fate but you will be greeted as friend by many. You have a very divergent way of thinking. Use it." His voice rang out loud and clear.

She was thrust out of her day dream by Neville elbowing her. They started to move into the great hall. The sorting hat sat on its same stool as always, it sang its new song and Mcgonagall read off the names one by one.

She watched many of her new friends get sorted into Griffindor while Draco and his friends got sorted into Slyitherin.

"Rose Snape." Mogonagall called out.I gulped. This was it.
