Kody Ashworth Sorting

"Are you alive?" He blurted it out before he could stop himself, curious to know if the hat was some kind of magical object or maybe sentient hats were a magical creature.

The fact the hat was talking to him didn't seem to bother Kody at all, he was more fascinated than scared. It didn't even cross his mind to even consider being afraid of such a thing.

But two houses were mentioned and he was disappointed to hear none of them were Ravenclaw or Slytherin.

"I didn't expect to choose..." He answered, honest. He fidgeted on the stool, scuffing the ground with his shoes.

Kody chewed on his bottom lip and was quiet for a moment, much longer than he normally was. Hufflepuff and Gryffindor held no significance to him. As far as he was aware, they were just the 'Other Houses' but at least he knew about them from his siblings.

Hufflepuff seemed like a nice house, full of loyal people and welcoming of others. But Gryffindor! That was the house of adventure though, in his eyes, and always striving forward without hesitation. He could picture himself quite happy in both houses but something pulled him towards thst one.

"Gryffindor!" Kody said in an excited whisper, wriggling on the stool and impatient to get moving. He wasn't sure if the hat could read his thoughts too but for good measure he kept thinking the house name over and over.
