Hi. I'm The Sorting Hat. My job, as you may know, other than Sorting, is writing catchy Sorting songs. I think I was in an odd mood when I wrote this. I'm not sure what I was thinking. Well, I submitted it to Dumbledore anyway, and he rejected it. (What a meany!) Said I wasn't thinking, and shouldn't have written it. I say! Well, enough about me and my non-thinking self, on with the thing I shouldn't have written. I call it:

THE REJECTED SORTING HAT SONG

Oh, I'm the Sorting Hat, you see

Where I place you, there you'll be.

The Hogwarts Houses is where you'll find

People, friends, with your kind of mind

Slytherin, perhaps, is where you'll go,

Where all go evil, don't you know

The founder here was deviously smart,

Placing a monster in Hogwarts' heart

Or how about Ravenclaw,

Never being seen, the only flaw

No one knows who you are

Not even that famous boy with the scar

Will it be in Hufflepuff, that you'll find your kin?

They may be loyal, but all so terribly dim

Your robes in Quidditch are an ugly yellow

The best in your number was killed, poor fellow

Or maybe Gryffindor is where you should be,

Being overshadowed by fame most times, you'll see

Everyone will always want you to save the school

But most times, you'll just end up looking the fool

So why don't you just turn tail right now

Beauxbatons, Durmstrang seem better, somehow!

Remind yourself why Hogwarts seemed fit,

The Muggle School near you closed, didn't it?
