"Han Jisung!"

Jisung's steps shake just a little as he steps forward. Through his head only runs a single hope, like a desperate prayer. Gryffindor, Gryffindor, Gryffindor...

Chan and Changbin had both been sorted there in previous years, and he doesn't know what he'll do if he's put in a house without either of his best friends. Hufflepuff might be fine, if the people there are really as nice as everyone says. Ravenclaw sounds okay, but he's heard horror stories about getting locked out of the common room if you can't get the riddle.

He steps up, sits as the hat is placed upon his head, and...

"SLYTHERIN!"

...What??
