Silence.....

"What....?"

Someone exclaimed.

Then the hell broke out.

Applud thundered fron the table to the right.

It was the biggest until then.

Adam walked to the Hufflepuff table.

He heared many congratulations.

But he was disappointed.

He thought the hat could give him choice. But it didn't .

'well then, Hufflepuff it is'

He thought.

The sorting continued. While Adams eyes wandered to the left most table.

The table itself had a crimson glow. signifying it's house.

'there she is...'

She was looking right at him.

Her eyes enlarged in a emote of surprise .

*What... the... hell... was.. that...*

She mouthed.

'cute'

When she enlarged her eyes. Adam could see his favourite part clearly.

Her eyes ...

Since the hall's light had a red glow ,it reflected in her eyes. The mix of red with her darkish brown was mesmerizing.

Two hands dangled infront of him.

Parvathi was waving her hands.

'ahh'

*I don't know*

Adam mouthed back.

And started looking for the protagonist.

But to his disappointment he couldn't see him.

' Were the hell is the protagonist??'

'Isn't he supposed to be here?'

Be was genuinely confused. Where could be the protagonist if not the school.

The it clicked.

'is this were the scene were they came flying with the car???'

"Kkrrr "

"Ahh..were are you going..?"

The boy sitting next to him asked.

"Oh"
