the sorting
back to the main story! remember, everything’s tagged under the dogfather. part one is here, with links to the rest at the bottom. I’m also going to round up the story-so-far and post it to my AO3 shortly. if you’re waiting for the next installment and the anticipation’s killing you, go read a zine or a comic from my Gumroad page.
while they wait to be Sorted, Ron gets more and more nervous.
Harry nudges him and asks, quietly, “all right?”
“Mm-hm,” says Ron. “just. I dunno what we’re going to have to do, for the Sorting. Fred said it hurts a lot, but I think he was joking.”
“oh!” says Harry. “no, it’s fine. my godfather told me. we just have to wear a hat.”
“a hat?” says Ron, but the sudden appearance of the school ghosts– and Professor McGonagall– cut off any further conversation. they don’t make Ron any less nervous, either.
Harry’s nervous too. not about the Sorting, so much, but everything else.
