Walking through a wall had been strange yes, but nothing compared to the peculiar looking, moving and talking hat that was on top of his head at that moment.
“Where should I put you?” The hat said slowly as he thought. “Ravenclaw perhaps? No no, not Ravenclaw.” It laughed joyfully. “And definitely not Slytherin! Imagine that, this little lad in Slytherin, wouldn’t last a day.”
Colin could feel his heart pumping rapidly agains’t his chest. The hat’s final decision was on it’s way.
“Yes! Of course, of course! So obvious! Why did I took so long… I must be terribly tired. Yes, that must be it. So many students… every year, the same thing. Where to put this one, where to put that one…”
The boy was getting impatient now. Why was the hat taking so…
“Relax, boy! There’s no need to rush things!” It exclaimed loudly, making Colin feel even more nervous than he already was. “Fine, fine. Gryffindor! There you go! Now scram, there are others to select.”
Gryffindor… That’s Harry Potter’s house, isn’t it? The boy had heard about him, he was a legend! Wow… He might not have known what it exactly meant, being a Gryffindor that is, but the sandy blond felt excitement run through him as he sat down next to the cheering scarlet and gold crowd.
