A/N; A short dabble on Tom's sorting. Italics are Tom's thoughts. I may write some more on other characters. This is a response to Conversions with the Hat Challenge
A/N 2; Do to a suggestion by a reader, I have edited this a have a line in between the Hat's thoughts and Tom's thoughts.
"Riddle, Tom."
"Hello, Tom. Hmm, you are hardworking enough to be a Hufflepuff."
"A Hufflepuff? They look…weak. I think I could be better than that."
"No,you aren't loyal enough to be one of Helga's."
"I could-"
"No, you couldn't. You-"
"Who are you to tell me what I can and can't be?"
"Don't interrupt me boy. I believe you are the one who didn't want to be a Hufflepuff. Now let me sort you, boy. A Ravenclaw, perhaps?"
"How about a Slytherin? I'm cunning."
"Hmm, I believe you would do better in Ravenclaw. You have never had friends and Ravenclaw is a much better place to find them than Slytherin."
"I could get friends in Slytherin. Besides, who needs friends?"
"You do, boy. Very well have in your way."
"SLYTHERIN"
