A winters day, the Hogwarts castle was covered in snow and ice, sparkling on the ground and in the hallways of the castle students could see their breath like fog fill the stone corridors, however deep in the castle's middle, Cho change, ravenclaw, talented quidditch as well, had stumbled upon quite a secret, she opened the door to a random room, hoping to find someplace warm and out of the way of various teachers scouring the hallways only to find a room brimming with objects and in a pedestal in the middle was none other than the sorting hat.
"How do you do Cho?" it asked, surprising her a bit.
"It's been a while since I was in your head, I see I was right and you've made a fine ravenclaw."
Cho blushed and stammered out a thank you, taking a few steps forward, her face becoming flush but not knowing why, she got closer to the hat and it in turned leaned as far as it could towards her
"It's nice to see you, it must get awfully lonely down here" she said softly a hand reaching out to stroke the fabric, the hat melted under her hand.
"It's nice to have such beautiful company" the hat replied. Cho paused for a moment, it was an odd statement considering how the hat didn't have eyes but after a moment she took another step closer.
