A/N – So I'm writing about the sorting of many of the characters, if you have any suggestions on who you want please comment. Thanks and please review.

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

I was worried about coming to Hogwarts, as I had been for a long time. Were my family going to cope without me? At only eleven I was the man of the family. My mum depended on me. She could cope but it would be hard, with Ariana to worry about. Ariana hadn't been right since those Muggles had attacked her, just because she could do magic and to them she was some kind of freak. It wasn't fair or right. Then they put my father into Azkaban because he'd found those Muggles and rightly attacked them. I knew they weren't all bad but some needed to be put in their rightful place. We hid Ariana away, she couldn't be taken to St Mungos, my mum would lose it. The problem was she kept doing accidental magic and I knew one day it was going to end badly. We lived in Godric's Hollow where we'd moved a year ago, so no one knew us they couldn't know about the family history with my sister and father.

"Dumbledore, Albus." Called out the Deputy Head. I was about to get sorted. It was quite daunting but I hadn't really thought about it much yet. I supposed I'd either be in Hufflepuff like my mother or Ravenclaw like my father.

I sat down and the hat was placed on my head. "A Dumbledore, eh." It said into my head. I wasn't really surprised; it was quite a clever piece of magic to do though. "You'd do well in Hufflepuff, very caring especially to your family and prepared to work hard. But no, your brain is good, you'd fit in Ravenclaw; why so quiet."

"Um, not had much time to think about it. I guess I could be a Ravenclaw." I thought, it wasn't that important.

"You could use your brain to be great. You show a lot of ambition and determination maybe Slytherin." It suggested.

"Slytherin? Wasn't their founder a bit out of it? I thought he hid a snake in a chamber somewhere?" I thought; he was a Parselmouth and that wasn't good, most Parselmouths were evil!

"Yes, that's the story but you can't base everyone in the house on their founder. Any matter, I think there's only one right place for you. You're loyal, brave, kind hearted and one day will be great."

"GRYFFINDOR!" it shouted. There was an uproar of applause from the table that was draped with red and gold. I walked over, not knowing of what to expect and sat down to be greeted with congratulations and welcoming. Gryffindor was fine by me, all I could do though was imagine how things were getting on at home…
