A/N: Back with another chapter! I would like to say that I'll probably be doing all of the next gen pairings I can think of, and their kids, so expect this to be a very LONG story.

Sitara Dalia Goldstein- September 1, 2021

The little eleven-year-old girl in the back of the group of first years brushed her long black hair behind her ears, trying to keep it out of her eyes. That was a pet peeve of hers, for she always wanted to be ready for action when the time arose. She had considered cutting her hair short, but then that would cause her to loose the satisfaction that occurred whenever somebody mistook her for her sister, and vice versa. So instead, Sitara was subjected from either having to put her hair up in a ponytail all the time, or wearing a headband. Unfortunately, she had forgotten to put one in this morning, and had been fiddling with her hair all day because of that mistake.

Sitara turned to study her sister, Sahana. Sahana was the smarter one of the two, and Sitara knew that, constantly referring to her sister as the brains in this operation. Sitara was the kind one, the one that everyone went to when they had a problem. She knew that people counted on her, and she didn't take her duties light-heartedly, either. Their older sister Sonia, however, was funny, kind, and smart, which was a combination of both of them. Sitara knew that Sahana felt as though she was always compared to Sonia, but Sitara knew that not to be the case.

Sitara was suddenly gripped with the fear that Sahana and her would not be in the same house after facing the Sorting Hat. After she pulled on Sahana's sleeve quite forcefully, her sister turned to face her with an annoyed look on her face. "What?" she asked.

"Do you think that Sonia would be mad if we didn't join her? It's only, I don't think I'm going to. I know you will," she said, her tan face tinged with green.

Sahana's eyes softened as she looked at her sister, and she said, "You'll do fine, Sitara." Sitara grinned, and went back to playing with the hem of her robes, satisfied that her sister would love her no matter what house she ended up in.

Soon after that, Professor Longbottom entered the Entrance Hall, and began to speak. "Through these doors, there are hundreds of students. All of them had to face the Sorting Hat, and you will to. Never fear, however, as if you hide nothing, you will surely be put in the place that you belong. Follow me, first years!"

Sitara got into place at the end of the line next to Sahana, and she couldn't help but notice the tattered old hat in the Professor's left hand, and the stool in his right. If that's the acclaimed Sorting Hat, it doesn't look that impressive to me, she thought, scrunching up her brow in extreme concentration.

Sitara glanced around the Great Hall, studying it for the first time. This was the place that she would eat every meal in, where she would receive her mail, so she needed to get used to it. From where the teachers were sitting, on the far right was the Slytherin table, as all the members were wearing silver and green somewhere in their outfit. Next to them were the blue-and-bronze-clad Ravenclaws, Sonia sitting there and waving at Sitara. Next were the black-and-yellow Hufflepuffs, who looked very friendly, although Sitara thought that their colors resembled that of bees. Lastly were the scarlet and gold Gryffindors, sitting on the far left.

As Professor Longbottom began calling out names, Sitara thought about the house that she would likely be joining that night. She already knew that she was no Slytherin, for she was not cunning or ambitious, and didn't have any plans about what to do with her life after Hogwarts. Sitara was not a Ravenclaw either, for she wasn't what most people would call "smart". However, Sitara felt as though the hat would have to choose between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor for her because she is brave, courageous, hard working, and loyal.

Finally, Sahana's name was called. Her sorting took a long time, and Sitara was beginning to get anxious until "HUFFLEPUFF!" was shouted to the whole hall, shocking Sitara greatly. She almost missed hearing "Goldstein, Sitara!" called, but rushed up to the hat quickly and placed it upon her dark head.

"Ah, another young Goldstein today, I see," a voice spoke in her head.

Sitara was unfazed. Yeah, we're twins. You know, for an all-magical, extremely powerful being, you aren't that impressive. You're just an old hat with a spell on you that's bound to wear off any day now.

The hat seemed to sight before saying, "Yes, I gathered that this is what you'd be like from what I saw of you in your sister's thoughts. She seemed to think that you'd be in Gryffindor. I know you're no Ravenclaw or Slytherin, but Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are possibilities."

I think I'd like to be with Sahana, because she and I work well together. Besides, I'd rather be with someone I know that complete strangers! Sitara thought, scrunching her eyes up in concentration.

"A very Hufflepuff-like statement, Sitara. Good luck in HUFFLEPUFF!" the hat told her, shouting the last word to the whole hall.

Sitara jumped down from the stool, handed the hat back to Professor Longbottom, and almost ran down the stairs to sit next to her sister. The two had a very eventful seven years and graduated perfectly, with Sahana as Head Girl and Sitara as Quidditch Captain.

A/N: I especially like Sitara, because her personality is so much like mine- I definitely would have said that to the hat! Although, the Sorting Hat put me in Gryffindor over Hufflepuff, so I guess there are some differences.
