The Worst House?
The hats shrill voice yelled out the worst word that it could have said. It could've called me a coward or even insignificant, but no it said something far, far worse than any of that. It called out my new "amazing" house, one that apparently everyone wants to be in. It called out... well you already no don't you... I meaning your reading this. When I heard the name called, I sat up of the wooden stool. I sensed the hat had heard the things that I had said about Gryffindor inside my head. My table and new "best" friends called out saying, "welcome" or "come set with us." It was all so sickening and disgusting to hear. Neither my father or mother went into Gryffindor, my mom was in Hufflepuff and my dad Ravenclaw. The hat must had made a mistake with him too, he went into Ravenclaw an idiot and came out just the same. I sat next to a boy with blond hair and solid green eyes. He made me think even worse of this house and beg inside the other one that I had prayed for. From my description of the boy it isn't hard to tell what house I really wanted. The other boy next to me was a pale boy, with brown hair. I sat down with a sigh, and starred at the Headmaster... what was his name again? The boy to the left of me said something to me that I didn't here. "What?", I asked him. "What's your name?", he responded. He had a smile on his face and I knew he was just trying too make friends, I told him my name. I asked him what his name was. He told me is was Dub. That was an odd name, but never judge a book by it's cover right? "Where are you from?", I inquired. He said he was from Galway. No way... that was were I lived before my parents divorced and I was sent with my mother. "Hey, that's", I said with a tone of humor, "that's were I used to live." "Really? That's funny, what house did you live in... I mean what is your address?" I sighed trying to remember anything from my young and few years that I spent there, there was almost nothing. Maybe a picture of grass or of a house, but definitely no address. "Uh... it was a long time ago", I was specifically avoiding telling him about the divorce,"I was around three and don't remember much. I'm sure if I went back with my Mom then I would remember more." I hit myself inside, I had said just my Mom and not my Mom and Dad. I waited for him to question it, but he said nothing. I don't even think he noticed it. We continued talking for several minutes and I found out that he was living with his Grandparents because his Mother and Father had been Death Eaters and gave birth to him the day before the trial. I was almost beginning to feel at home... just a little. Maybe later I will tell Dub later, about my parents that is. But for now I keep my secrets and he keeps his.

"Gryffindor!" The old patchwork hat yelled. I could feel my face grow hot, a sickening feeling raging through me. I hopped down from the stool, striding towards the table clad in red and gold. All the snobbish girls turned their noses away from me, the boys pointing at my robes and laughing. My parents had indeed believed that I would most defiantly be in Slytherin, but the stupid hat put me in Gryffindor! As the headmaster made his annual speech, something inside me changed. I myself could feel my soul growing darker my the minute. A sudden flash of lightning brought me out of my trance, ending the headmaster's speech. Kids around me dug into the feast around us, chatting with friends and stuffing themselves silly. I grimaced at the food set before me, pushing my plate away. A loud hoot echoed throughout the hall, a grey owl flying over to my place. He sat down a blood red envelope, nipping at my fingers. "Look guys! Pezzy's got herself a howler!" I sighed, breaking the seal and watching the letter roar to life.
"GRYFFINDOR?? HOW COULD YOU GET INTO GRYFFINDOR! YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE TURNER FAMILY NAME, PEZZENALI! THIS IS WHY WE NEVER TOLD YOU YOU WERE ADOPTED!" it crumpled itself up as my eyes welled up with tears. The hall was silent, granted two boys whispering wildly down the table from me. "THIS IS THE WORST HOUSE EVER!" I screamed, running out of the hall and down to the great lake.
"WAIT!" A voice shouted out....

"WAIT!"
I sprinted after the girl who had just ran outside to the great lake. She turned to look at me. She had tears running down her eyes, but then again who wouldn't. If you just got a howler saying that you where a disgrace to your family and that you where adopted you would be crying too. I looked at the girl. I took a deep breath.
"Would you like a hug?"
I tried, a hug is what always made me feel better so why not this girl. The girl gave a small nod and I gave her a hug. We both stood there for a minuet then we sat down. we sat in silence. I didn't know how to comfort this girl. I wanted to be I had no idea how. I couldn't just say. hey are you okay have her say no then be like wlep sorry can't help you. I also just couldn't say nothing. I needed to do something. I tried to put myself in her shoes. what would it be like if I got that howler. I thought that it would hurt a lot. To get a howler like at out of the blue saying "hey your the worst ever this is why we never told you you where adopted. I looked like the girl.
"I guess I should say hello."
She looked at me,
"Hello, my name is Maxwell. What's yours?"
