As i got on the train, it all started to feel real. I was so nervous yet a part of me was very excited, excited for the new chapter of my life & unknown possibilities of my future. I know this is what's best for me but i can't help but think about what could go wrong. As i walked down the hallway of the train in search of an empty seat, it began. The stares i very well knew i would receive. I sat alone near the window going through all the possibilities of what would happen when the students of Hogwarts found out who i was .

I got off the train and was told to follow all the first years to the dining hall to be sorted . This was it. The moment i had been dreading since i left home. I had already received so many glances and stares since it was obvious i was much older then all of the first years i was walking behind . As we reached the top of the stairs Professor Mcgnagall explained to us what we were about to do. I felt sick. I know as soon as the other students hear my name i will be hated by the whole school.

The doors opened to reveal the breathtaking room, there were floating candles and the ceiling was enchanted to look like the night sky. I tried my best to keep my eyes straight to avoid looking at all the eyes that were on me as i entered the room. "Bloody hell, who is that?" Ron said to his friends as his eyes were fixed on me. "Close you mouth Ron, she must be a transfer. she is very pretty though." Hermione responded. "Pretty?" Harry whisper shouted, "She's brilliant." Ron and Hermione laughed & then nodded. The Weasley twins looked at each other and said in unison, "Wicked."

As we reached the stool in the front of the room, the sorting began. Dumbledore started to call name after name. A large portion of the first years were sorted into Gryffindor. Every single student was called until me. I was standing there all alone. I could see the Professors starting at me. Once the last student sat down near the others in his house i knew what was about to happen. I felt like i was about to pass out. This is it. "Now students, this is a very rare occasion." Dumbledore proclaimed, "We have a new transfer student starting here during their fourth year. Before i introduce her, i would like to make something very clear. You are not to treat her differently then you would any other student here." He took a deep breath and said "Emily Riddle." I walked up, sat on the stool and faced the students sitting at their tables, i felt as if every single student in the room was whispering and staring. I saw a group of
Slytherins smirking at me.

Dumbledore placed the sorting hat on my head, as i pushed my long wavy brown hair off my shoulders. That's when it began to speak, "Hmmm, seems that we have another Riddle walking the halls of Hogwarts. This is a very peculiar one... SLYTHERIN!" The Slytherin table began to cheer and i smiled. I bet everyone already knew that i would be placed there. "RAVENCLAW!" The hat exclaimed out of now where."Wait, what?" I whispered. The room went silent and it continued to speak. "HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat yelled and then finally, "GRYFFINDOR!" I look over to Dumbledore who was smiling "It's her" Dumbledore said," The Unsortable One." "The unsortable what ?" I said. Everyone was staring at me. Dumbledore continued, "You. You are the one who cannot be sorted, you have the equal qualities of each house." What else can possibly happen to draw more attention to me? I wanted nothing more then to get out of that room and not have all of those eyes on me. "What does that mean?" I said. "It means, that you are very powerful and you can chose which house you would like to be sorted into." He responded. I looked around the room at all the the faces looking at me, many smiling and waving me over. "I would like to be in Slytherin, please." I said to him. The Slytherin table cheered once more as i stood up and walked over.
