Jolly Cooper stood nervously in line, waiting for her turn to be called. It seemed like the sorting had gone on for ages. She fumbled with her robes, cleared her throat every now and then and hopped up and down every minutes, showing others how nervous she really was. What if she was placed in Slytherin? What would her mother say? Maybe I can request the Headmistress to sort me in private, she thought to herself stupidly. Anything to get away from this crowd of students, who would all be watching her when she sat on the stool. Or maybe, I can pretend to be sick and walk away...
Just as she was about to think of another thick excuse, her name was called, "Cooper, Jolly." Jolly blushed furiously at her name. Why did her mother have to name her Jolly? It was such a foolish name. Breathing deeply, walked up to the podium, situated herself delicately on the stool and closed her eyes tightly as the hat was placed onto her head. It drooped down, covering her eyes and half her nose, since Jolly was a very small and petite girl; and she seriously hoped there wouldn't be any insects or little crawly creatures inside the old hat. She was afraid of them, even though she never admitted it.
I am NOT a bad girl. I am NOT afraid. I am NOT going to make a fool out of myself anymore, even though that's totally impossible! she insisted to herself, concentrating more on the situation at hand rather than the imaginary spiders residing in the sorting hat.
