Hello this is just a one-shot and just purely for fun. I hope you enjoy it~
Harry's eyes widened when his name was called. One of the students nudged him, and he walk up to the stool and stern looking Professor who he knew as McGonagall.
He sat down on the stool and faced out to the crowd of unsorted first years. He felt everyone's stares on him and it made him squirm slightly.
He glanced up to McGonagall and she gave him a small thin smile before placing the old ragged hat on his head.
"Oh? what's this a Potter? oh mixed with that bright girl Evans too!" a voice seemed to whisper into his ear.
Harry tensed up; even if he heard the hat call out the house of others earlier it was still unnerving to hear.
The hat chuckled at his reaction.
"Always fun to see the reactions of First Years. Now on with the show yes?"
Harry nodded his head and mumbled a yes under his breath.
"Lets see...fairly smart, but not to the Ravenclaw's need for knowledge...Loyal...But your too...lets go with wayward for Hufflepuff...Oh your very brave...Gryffindor would love you...But no...I think you would do best in Slytherin...you could do well there it would nurture your Ambitions, Cunning, and Resourcefulness."
Harry paled. "Please no..."
"Why not? As I said you would do well there..."
Harry just ignored the Hat and continued to mumble "Not Slytherin." under his breath.
The hat sighed. "Sorry kid, but I know whats best. If it makes you feel any better the only reason your Mother didn't go to Slytherin is because she wouldn't have lasted the night. To bad too she was the definition of what Salazar looked for in a student." With that the Hat yelled out.
"SLYTHERIN!"
The hall was quite on one moved a muscle or spoke a word.
Everyone speechless at what had just happened. The Boy-Who-Lived...a Slytherin!
The silence was broken by a loud crash, chocking, and faint, muffled laughing. Every one turned there eyes to the head table to see Albus Dumbledore chocking and Pomfrey hitting him on the back trying to help.
They then turned there eyes to the empty seat what once held the Potions Master and head of Slytherin. The usual brooding man now sprawled on the stone floor passed out in a dead faint; Some students later will swear the saw him twitch a few times.
Finally there eyes turned to Quirrell the odd new Defense Professor who seemed to have a twitching problem. Faint muffled sinister laughter was coming from him, but his lips weren't moving...
The students chalked it up to the odd man practicing ventriloquism with out a dummy...
Two twins from Gryffindor turned to each other.
"You know what Gred."
"No, what Feorge?"
"Even though he's in Slytherin I think he is going to be Brilliant."
Gred nodded. "Anyone who can make Snape faint is Brilliant in my books Brother dearest."
Feorge grinned back at his twin. "To True!"
McGonagall took the hat off of Harry's head and ushered him to the direction of the Slytherin table...
Harry sat at the end of the table everyone still staring at him...this was going to be an interesting year he was sure...
Yay the reactions of people~
and yes I think Lily had the qualities to be an Amazing Slytherin, but I think the Hat didn't place her there for her own safety... at least that's what I think, but please tell me what you think I would love to know~
Also for those who may think I'm making fun of Harry getting into Slytherin (I know someone out there is...probably) I'm not I quite enjoy the few I've read actually. I just this would be funny.
Well see ya~
