Summary
Kagome comes from a Slytherin family. Two years older than her friend Draco and supervised by Snape, she is an up and coming prodigy in the wizarding world. Nothing could go wrong for her until she enters Hogwarts and is sorted into Gryffindor.
Chapter 1
The banquet hall of Hogwarts was decked out in the elaborate colors of all of the houses. The ceiling reflected the clear full moon sky outside. A long table ran horizontal in the back of the room where all of the professors sat, the Headmaster in the center of it. Vertical to this table sat four other tables, seating the entire current student body of the prodigious school.
In between the head table and the lower tables stood a line of children. They were the new first years. There was also a professor and a stool, in which a solitary old hat sat upon.
"Higurashi, Kagome!" called out Professor Minerva McGonagall.
Kagome stepped out of the long line of first years and walked with confidence towards the stool. She sat upon the stool and awaited for McGonagall to place the Sorting Hat upon her head, sure that she would be placed in Slytherin as all the members of her family before her had been.
Once the hat was placed on her head Kagome could see nothing and could hear nothing the voice of Sorting Hat, which sounded amused and intrigued.
"Well, well, well. What have we here? Another Higurashi? I haven't had one of you in a little while."
Kagome sat silently. Waiting for the Sorting hat to call out Slytherin so that she may sit with her house.
"I almost didn't recognize you. Your mind is so different from that of a typical Higurashi." The Sorting Hat spoke again. With an almost whining tone it continued, "They all think so alike. No originality in the lot of them!" It switched to an almost eager whisper, "But you… Yes… you are so different! Smarter for one. You mind will bring about a change in the wizarding world. If you have the courage to break away from the from the beaten trail and take the hard route! With all this courage I'm sure that you can!"
Kagome started to grow confused and worried. At first she was fine, she already knew that she was different. She was a prodigy, her mind more complex, not the average Higurashi, but still a Slytherin. But the way that the Sorting Hat was speaking… it sounded like it had something… else in its mind for her, and that would not do.
"I am Slytherin. Place me there. Call it out." Kagome raised her voice. (For Higurashi woman never yelled.) "You are taking much too long. If I am to make changes it will be from the comfort of my Slytherin house."
"Slytherin? Oh, no… That won't do!" It quoted her thoughts, as if to mock her for thinking that she could be anything but what It knew her to be. "No, no, no! Definitely not Slytherin! According to your heart and mind, the best place for you would be…"
GRYFFINDOR!
AN: I haven't decided what the pairing is, if Kagome will be a miko and if youkai will exist in this story. I am planning to make Kagome a true main character and make major changes to the Harry Potter Story line. This might be a short story with an epilogue or I might try and go through the entire HP story line, I don't know yet. I'm really bad at completing stories so I'm going to try and keep it short for now so that I can actually finish it. Rating is T for future swearing.
