It doesn't say one way or the other.  The passage runs:

  "Granger, Hermione!"
  Hermione almost ran to the stool and jammed the hat eagerly on her 
head.
  "GRYFFINDOR!" shouted the hat.  Ron groaned.

"Please."

Just kidding!

They bind him (magically) with cords, same as Snape did earlier to 
Lupin.  No words are given; it just says "thin cords shot from 
Lupin's wand."  Sirius also conjures up manacles to chain PP to Lupin 
and Ron.

Hope that helps.  Good luck with the writing!

   "I've got two Neptunes here," said Harry after a while, frowning 
down at his piece of parchment, "that can't be right, can it?"
   "Aaaaah," said Ron, imitating Professor Trelawney's mystical
whisper, "when two Neptunes appear in the sky, it is a sure sign
that a midget in glasses is being born, Harry. . . ."
