Gryffindor was beside itself with joy. The entire table was applauding—not polite applause like they'd given for the other firsties, but ferociously, as though they'd just won a great prize. The twin upperclassmen, Fred and George, were chanting "We got Potter! We got Potter!" Oddly enough, the Hufflepuffs were applauding too, though he didn't understand why. He sent a silent apology to the House in yellow—he didn't mean to malign them, he just didn't want to be one of them.
