A digital Sorting hat.
The sorting hat was gone, in puzzled silence the students stared at the new system. A shiny new computer box.
"When the computer has finished it's song you will proceed up and answer a set of questions. The computer will then decide which house you belong in."
The speakers now lit up and a small realplayer icon lit up and began to flash.
The sorting hat is patched and frayed,
it's usefulness is gone.
So here I am the new system
At HogwartsSchool.com
I'm metric not Imperial
Alloy not old cloth
And I can weigh your merits up
With so much greater speed
Score 200 on the IQ test
In Ravenclaw you'll cram
As many facts and useful spells
That your poor head can hold.
But if you're sly and try to hack
To Slytherin you'll go.
Where all the sneaky people dwell
And cook up nasty plots
Or if you sit and shake your head
A Hufflepuff you are
Work nice and hard to do the job
Brains aren't your brightest star
Now here you are you've dodged it all
You really don't belong
To any other house
Alas! That's it I've got no more
Off you go to Gryffindor
You're brave enough to try this quiz
And not fall down upon your face
Yes that's it! You've found your place
I'll say no more
I'm better than the sorting hat
Fast efficient that is that!
The stunned silence in the hall was broken only by the applause of Dumbledore, and even he looked a little dazed. He nodded to McGonagall who hurried to his office to fetch the real hat.
