One's Determination
"Sirius Black."
The Great Hall was full of nervous eleven-year-olds, some of them were even shaking. A boy with dark hair and gray eyes stepped forward, throwing a thumbs up to another boy behind him -- James, who he'd met on the train.
The few students who'd gone up before Sirius to be sorted, had all been red with embarrassment, sweaty with anxiety -- but Sirius walked up to the old, ratty hat with confidence, determination.
The hat was placed on his head.
"I will not be in Slytherin."
"Is that so?"
And so went a small battle of words.

One's Perseverance
"Gryffindor!"
There was a moment's hush as Sirius Black pulled off the Sorting Hat, a grin on his face. There was scattered applause -- mostly from the Gryffindors. The Slytherins were all staring with gaping mouths; they couldn't believe it.
As Sirius sat down at the table laden with scarlet decorations, to be clapped on the back by some of his fellow lions, he glanced towards the Slytherins. His smile faltered slightly at their glares, and he realized this school year would be a struggle.
His grin returned -- if it was war they wanted, war'd be what they got.
