It had taken awhile for him to realize the truth, but in the end he saw that Dumbledore was an old manipulative bastard. Over his summer break Harry had contemplated what he had to do to be free of the old man but now he knew and it was his chance to do what he wanted. When the sorting of the first years was over Harry stood up and mustered up all of his fabled Gyrffindor courage to say what he need to say. Then, with all eyes upon him, he said the very words he had been waiting to say all summer.
"I wish to be resorted. " with those words a silence came that spread upon all in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. All houses found themselves contemplating the meaning behind those words and even Ravenclaw couldn't fathom a reason as to why the Savior of the wizarding world wanted to switch houses. Well that is all the houses except Slytherin they, like they did everything else, took this news with out batting a single eye except the first years who were as eager as ever.
"Are you sure my boy?" Dumbledore asked his once sparkling-blue eyes dull and lifeless. All Harry did was simply nod his head and then walk up as Dumbledore motioned him to the sorting hat. Dumbledore asked if harry was sure one more time before pacing the hat on Harry's head.
"Well, Well, Well look whose back. I told you, you'd do better in Slytherin but no you just had to be in any house but Slytherin. This time I am getting my way, you have no say in the matter boy. You WILL go to SLYTHERIN. " The last words the sorting hat shouted out for all the great hall to hear. The silence that followed that statement was deafening but then Draco Malfoy stood and began to, carefully and calmly, clap, and the rest of the Slytherin house joined in.
"His gone dark I tell you, he'll be the next Dark Lord. " Ron bellowed at the top of his lungs loud enough for all to hear.
"Ronald Weasley, how could you he has been your friend since the first year how can you do that to him. Professor Dumbledore I too wish to be resorted. " Ginny Weasley said this in a quite normal voice barely above a whisper but everyone in the hall heard it as if she had shouted. With those words the spell on the Great hall seamed to be broken. Like he did with harry Dumbledore beckoned Ginny to the platform all the while asking if she was sure. Then after asking one more time he placed the hat on her head. Dumbledore had a defeated look about him, with his sad eyes and slumped shoulders, but anyone who knew him knew that he was scheming.
It took a while longer, but eventually the hat screamed out Slytherin as it did with Harry. This time though there was immediately some polite clapping from the Slytherin table.
Up at the head table Snape sat with his head in his hands silently denying the entire thing. McGonagall sat in tears while the new defense teacher sat trying to comfort her. Flitwick had long since fallen off his chair and was now trying to figure out if this was all a dream by continuously pinching himself. Madam Pomfrey was crying on Hagrid's arm, who was shaking his head back and forth trying to deny that the past few minutes had occurred. After composing himself once again Dumbledore rose and ordered the prefects to lead everyone to their common rooms.
Harry and Ginny silently walked behind the other Slytherins wondering if this was truly the right thing to do. The Slytherins came to stop in front of a painting then Draco Malfoy the 7th year prefect spoke the password "death to Dumbledore" loud enough for all to hear. They walked through the portrait and past the common room Harry had seen in his Second year. Quietly the entered a cozy room decorated in silvers and greens. The 7th years sat down first pulling Harry with them, followed by the 6th years and down. Everybody seemed to be quite as though they were waiting for someone and Harry couldn't help wonder whom.
The door opened and Harry looked on with curiosity. He expected Professor Snape or some other cruel person. Instead he saw a young girl with long black hair that had purple and silver streaks, and eyes the color of molten silver he noticed when she turned to look at Ginny and him. She wasn't tall but more of Harry's short height. Everything seemed to calm and become all right in her presence, sort of like Dumbledore's aura did to Harry when he still trusted the Bastard.
"Welcome back," she stated, her voice the sound of chimes in the wind, "for those of you who are old and to those who are new welcome to Slytherin I am Amie Morningstar the true head of Slytherin. Now there are a few rules and comments that must be voiced before I can let you go to bed. First of all, would all children born from families without magic please raise your hand? " About four children hesitantly raised their hands. Everyone's eyes rested upon the kids.
"Alright from now on you are no longer muggleborn instead your parents have been in hiding. No matter who asks you, you are to reply that you are as pureblooded as a Malfoy. Second the most important rule is that you as soon as you leave this room you have no emotions, you are clean, proper, you are not surprised or shocked, not a single hair is to be out of place, and you leave everything behind the guardian portrait. Rule number three the room you are sitting in doesn't exist neither do I. Next Slytherins do not make bad grades, if you are having trouble with a subject come to me and I will help you. Number five, every night, unless I have asked you to stay, you are to be in bed by the time I finish playing the piano. Finally Snape may be the head of Slytherin but you are to tell him nothing. " Just then looked up as if hearing something the, quickly said, "everyone hurry into the common room and get situated people are coming. "
All the 7th years were the fist to react, including Harry. They sat down and conjured and quietly started reading. The other years quickly followed their example conjuring books and chess sets. They all looked like the perfect young aristocrats. Then slowly the portrait swung open to reveal Professors Snape and Dumbledore confidently strolling in their robes billowing behind them. Snape stood in front of them blocking the student's view of the magnificent fireplace.
"Hello everyone I am your head of house, If there are any first years who can't do magic please stand. " Snape looked around and then turned to face Professor Dumbledore with a pleased expression on his face. As they began to walk out of the portrait Snape called over his shoulder for Draco to explain the new rules. Then the professors left the "common room".
Everyone dutifully followed Draco back into the common room where Amie sat waiting by the fire. Amie stood up and began to further explain the rules.

And that my friends is how the first Weasley and Potter ever to go "dark" were sorted into Slytherin. Who knows maybe Ronald Weasley did deserve that Outstanding in Divination after all.
