Harry heard the hat announce the last word to the entire hall

Harry heard the hat announce the last word to the entire hall.. He took off his hat and walked shakily towards the Gryffindor table.. I felt so relieved to have been sorted and escaped Slytherin., who didn't even notice that he was receiving the biggest ovation of the ceremony. Percy, the Monitor, stood up and shook his hand energetically, while the Weasley twins screamed "We won Potter! We won Potter!" Harry sat down across from the ghost with the ruffled collar he had seen before the ceremony.. The ghost patted him on the arm., giving Harry the sudden, horrible feeling that he had just been plunged into a bucket of ice-cold water..
