Hermione Getting Sorted

Hermione looked around the small chamber well it wasn't small per
say it could fit about 700 people in it but it was crowded Hermione
had to stand as still as a statue she couldn't take a step once but
she could move her head and looked directly at Professor McGonagall
she was just as nervous as the rest of the students so focused on the
person in charge.

"Welcome to Hogwarts" said professor McGonagall "The
start of term Banquet will begin shortly but before you take your
seats in the great hall you will be sorted into your houses the
sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here,
your house will be like your family within Hogwarts. You will have
classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory
and spend free time in your house common room. The four houses are
called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house
has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches
and wizards.

While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house
points, while any rule breaking will lose house points. At the end of
the year the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a
great honour. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house
becomes yours. The sorting ceremony will take place in front of the
rest of the school. I shall return in a few minutes to collect you."

Without an authority figure Hermione took control the girl beside
her asked "how do you think we get sorted?" which she
regretted as Hermione answered "well I'm not sure of the
specifics but I read in Hogwarts a History that the is we are tested,
maybe it's how well we perform spell I only know the basics in
defence and counter curses but the theory I understood well enough
and..." But she was left speechless by an extraordinary sight
for at that moment no less than 20 ghosts appeared talking to each
other she had read about ghosts but never imagined the reality.

Hermione like most Muggle children was told that there was no such
things as ghosts. But there they were pearly white and slightly
transparent. They were in the middle of an important discussion and
barely noticed to first years.
A ghost that looked like fat monk
said "forgive and forget, I say, we ought to give him a second
chance-"
"My dear Friar haven't we given peeves all the
chances he deserves? He gives us all a bad name and he's not even a
real ghost- what are you doing here?"
"New students!"
said the Fat Friar.
"Move along the sorting is about to
begin."

Hermione followed the others. McGonagall lead them in a single
line through the chamber and down the great hall. Hermione felt her
heat fall to the bottom of her stomach but when they entered and
Hermione saw They Great Hall she cold not believe her eyes the Hall
was huge you could have fit the all the books from the library in it.
And it looked beautiful bright gold lit by candles which, Hermione
were never melting and ever lasting. She looked toward the ceiling
and saw the night sky.
"It's not real it's bewitched to look
like the sky outside" Hermione then looked at McGonagall who
placed a hat on a stool in front of them all they had to do was put
it on simple but still nerve racking. Hermione waited her turn too
nervous to speak when it was her turn she looked and only saw the
inside of the hat.
"Ahh" Whispered the hat.

Hermione did the only thing she could think of.
"Please
put me in Ravenclaw"
"Ravenclaw? Why?"
"I
heard it is where people who rely on intelligence are placed"
Hermione was terrified.
"I can see a keen mind for learning
but there is something less obvious no I don't think so you should
really go to GRYFFINDOR" the hat shouted the house and Hermione
went to the Gryffindor table wondering if the hat was right.
