NOT LIKE HIM

Sorting Hat

Professor Minerva then stepped forward holding a long roll of parchment.
- When I call your names, you'll put on your hat and sit on the stool for selection. Ana Abbott!
A girl with a rosy face and blonde pigtails stumbled out of row, put on his hat, which sank straight into his eyes, and sat down. A pause momentary ...
- HUFFLEPUFF! Announced the hat.
The table on the right cheered and clapped when Ana went to sit at the table.
Sofia was watching every person who passed by the selection hat, until her turn came.
-Sofia Saiko!
The room was completely silent, Sofia could hear some students whispering, she knew it was nothing good, all the Saikos in the main lignage were part of the Slytherin, and the only Saiko who had been at hogwarts before her, was Luka Saiko, her brother who had been kicked out of hogwarts, and who then ran away.
She, like all the other students before her, went ahead and the hat was placed on her head, a while passed, but the hat remained silent, well not for long.
-GRIFFINDOR!
Gryffindor? Sofia broke into a smile when she heard that. Some people at the Gryffindor table clapped their hands, including a black-haired girl that Sofia knew very well.
She went to the table and sat next to her.

The black-haired girl smiled and remained silent.
There were few people left now.

Minerva had just called almost all the students, and then finally she said the last name - Harry Potter!
People started whispering to each other.
- Potter, is that what she said?
- Harry Potter?
The hat was put on his head.

- Difficult. Very difficult. Enough courage, I see. Not a bad mind. There is talent, oh my, a reasonable thirst to prove it, now this is interesting ... So, where am I going to put you? .... not Slytherin, huh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know, it's all here in your head, and Slytherin would help you achieve that greatness, no doubt, no? Well, if you are sure, you will be better off in GRYFFINORY!

Hearing the hat announce the last word to the entire room, the Gryffindor table began to give a huge ovation as the Gryffindor twins shouted "We won Potter! We won Potter!" Professor Minerva rolled up the parchment and picked up the Sorting Hat.

Albus Dumbledore had stood up. Smiling radiantly at the students, arms wide open.

- Welcome! - he said. - Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we start our banquet, I would like to say a few words: Goofy! Cry! Untouched! Pinch ! Thank you.

And he sat down. Everyone clapped and cheered.
The black-haired girl put her hand around Sofia shoulders.

-I'm happy that you were put in Gryffindor Sofi! I was starting to think you were going to be in Slytherin.
-And what would be the problem if I were chosen for the Slytherin Maiya?
-Well, you know, Slytherin is not the best house, people say that almost all the bad wizards were there, besides their emblem are a snake you know ...
-Yeah , I know .- Sofia smiled. -But that should only be stereotypes.
- Okay..., it doesn't matter! Forget about it. Glad to see you again!
-Me too

The two twins looked at Sofia, and one of them said with a big smile.

-Hi, I'm Fred and this is George! Wouldn't you be Luka's sister by any chance?
-Oh yes, I am. Did you know my brother?
- What a silly question, and who didn't know your brother after what he did.
- ....You're right ... - Sofia laughed -what a silly question from me ...

Sofia was feeling uncomfortable and looked back, she saw that people were looking at her in a strange way, those people were from the Slytherin table.

-Don't worry about that ... - Said Maia taking her arm back from Sofia and smiling at her. - In the begening things were like that for me too.

Sofia smiled and when she looked straight at the table noticed the table was full of a variety of food. At home Sofia could not eat what she wanted, the food was chosen and prepared with form the number of people and prepared by the way her father wanted, usually she ate alone at a table too big for a single person.

-He's not coming? - she lowers her head looking at an elf - Is he too busy again?

The little house elf looked at his young master, and crossed his hands.

-He said he had to get into his work, young master.

-Okay, okay, all right,..., all You know Poddy I'm not very hungry today I'm sorry for making you cook too much for nothing.
she got up and driving to her room.

Well now she wasn't home anymore.

-Sofia?
- Sorry I was thinking of something else...
-Oh, I see, aren't you going to eat?
-Of course I will!

While she ate, someone caught her eye, a man who was sitting at the big table in front of the other four tables, where Dumbledore was, he had medium-sized black hair, black eyes, a big nose and was dressed in black.

-Maiya? - She said staring at the man and then looking at Maiya with her mouth was full of food - who is he?
-Professor Snape. - She said full-mouthed - He's a potions professor, he's a little weird, I don't like him.
-You're right he's a little weird, Did you see the way he was looking at that boy? She said making a head sign to indicate she was talking about Harry.
-What are you talking about? I didn't notice anything. She said this time swallowing the food that was in her mouth.
-Nothing forget what I say...
