Spotting Hermione across the common room, he rushed over to greet her. A more familiar face in the room. He just wished that Ron had been sorted into Ravenclaw again. A worm of doubt ate away at Harry's resolve. Maybe Ron wasn't blessed with intelligence, wit and wisdom. It was a shame he seemed to be a good friend.
He remembered smiling encouragement to him, as Ron went to the stool. It was a sad smile, knowing that Ron wanted to be with his family in Gryffindor. The look on Ron's face, as the hat announced 'Hufflepuff' in a joyous shout. Ron's face fell, a tear glistening on his cheek, as he headed to the Hufflepuff table.
Recognising Fred and George, he worked out the other red heads were all the Weasley. There certainly were quite a few... and all in Gryffindor!
He tried to meet Ron's gaze, to mouth the words, "We'll still be friends."
It wasn't to be, as Ron looked bereft, and was more concerned with his shuffling feet. Still something told him it was a good fit for Ron. He would be a good and loyal friend. The hat had sung of 'Patience, Hard work, justice and loyalty.'.
