Chapter - 2

Sorting Hat's Dilemma

speaking -: "What"

thinking -: "What"

spells -: "What"

"First years, over here" Harry heard a totally different voice then he expected. And yes, it wasn't Hagrid, the gamekeeper, uttering those words, but instead a tough looking lady Harry didn't know.

"First years, line up over here, and follow me. " said Prof. Grubby-Plank,"Welcome to Hogsmade. Keep following me, I will guide to the castle."

"Where is Hagrid?" asked Harry to Ginny who was standing behind him.

"How would I know."she said somewhat in irritation,"Keep on moving Harry, You are blocking the way.".

"Oh.. sorry" .

Soon after Harry and Ginny got separated and Harry was wandering alone. He was constantly looking for Hagrid but didn't found him anywhere in the croud.

"maybe he is sick or something" .

"Oi Harry, wait for us." called Ron, running towards him along with Hermione.

" I am telling you man, this prefect shit is really getting on my nearves.".

"Well people like Malfoy are really enjoying to being able to bully first years, leagally." said Hermione as a matter of factly. "Surprise, Surprise." said Harry which earned a laugh from both of his best friends.

"Anyone of you saw Hagrid anywhere?" asked Harry.

"No , I was gonna ask the same question to you.".

" Oh pleeease Ronald, all you cared was to check out the girls out there. "

"A little correction there Hermione. Not just some girl, but some HOT girl, u know with a nice big wra..."

"You can leave it there" said Hermione disgustingly.

Hermione always felt disgusted at this behaviour of her was ok couse he kept his words to himself but Ron was a typical case. He never showed any shyness when there is only three of them around. He just kept blunting the words which came to his mind without thinking twice. It all started at there third year, when Hermione caught both of them reading certain magazine titled PLAYBOY, red handed. Oh, she knew all too well what was inside that magazine. So, she started to get a li'l bit uncomfertable around them. But soon understood that they are harmless. Harry was decent enough to maintain his dignity around her, but Ron was..well...a typical case.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" said a confident voice behind them.

All the three knew who that voice belongs to. They didn't mind him just kept walking forward.

"Hey Crab, did you just fart man 'couse I smell something real nasty. Oh, of course someone's Potty is here." said Malfoy which made his minions laugh.

"Get lost Malfoy." said Ron.

"O.. ofcourse Mr. Prefect, my apologies. But you see..I wasn't talking to you. So you better Fuck off." replied Malfoy.

Ron went forward to punch Malfoy but Hermione stepped between.

"Stop it Ron. You are a Prefect . Act like one" said Hermione.

"We are not in the mood now Malfoy just get lost.".

"Manners, Potter. Or else I'll be forced to put you in detension."

"I'd like to see u try" countered Harry also stepping forward.

"Didn't your mother taught you how to talk to your superiors, Potter."said Malfoy with a smirk on his face "O but ofcourse she would, if she would have been alive.

That did it. In a swift motion Harry's as well as Malfoy's wand was out, ready to strike. But before they could, a shield apeared between them which was made by Hermione.

"ENOUGH" she screemed. "that's it, put down your wands, both of you, or else I will have to complain it to househeads."

They both did. Harry with a frown while Malfoy with a smirk on his face.

"FUCK" shouted Harry as Malfoy walked away.

"Calm down Harry. Don't worry ,He won't get away with this. I'll write a complaint letter to Prof. Snape." said Hermione.

" And how exactly do you think he will sort this out Hermione?" yelled Harry still furious at Malfoy's comment "Let me tell you how. He will simply wipe his ass after taking a shit with your letter and probably will take out points from our house saying that you wasted his valuable time with your worthless letter. That's what he will do." Harry stormed from that spot followed by Ron leaving Hermione alone, in tears.

She didn't know but she was being watched from the nearby bushes.

Soon they went to the carriages which would take them to the castle. Harry was feeling really bad now that he shouted on his friend who was only trying to save him from trouble. Hermione wasn't talking to him which didn't go unnoticed by Ginny and Nevil who were already sitting onto the horseless carriage.

Harry said that he could see the creatures which were pulling the carriage but rest of the people denied that. Luna said that only those can see them who has witnessed death.

Soon they reached castle and by the time were very hungry. Harry also apologised to Hermione which made her mood lighten a bit. Harry was constantly looking for Hagrid but he couldn't found him anywhere, not even in the teachers table at dinner. Soon the great hall was full of chatting students of Hogwards along with the cute little scared first year students. Finally Prof. Dumbledoor, the Principal of Hogwards stepped forward and motioned everyone to sit. It was the time for the soarting.

After very long process of soarting first year students and ofcourse a shitty song by none other then Sorting Hat, Dumbledore stood up.

"To our newcomers, Welcome," said Dumbledore beaming,"and to our old hands, Welcome back. There is a time for speachmaking, but this is not it. Dig in."

All of the four housebenches were filled by delicious food. Ron didn't wasted any time and started his massacare of food.

Everyone was busy with fling there pit when the door of main hall opened an ran in Filch. He ran to Dumbledore and wisphered something in his year. Dumbledore whispered something back and stood up while Filch again ran back out of the Great hall shutting doors in the process. Dumbledore clapped his hands to get the attention of every living and non living person in the hall.

"Here we go." said Ron.

" A few words to my first years," started Dumbledore "You are not allowed to enter into the Forbidden Forest at any cost and the same is applied to our older students too."

At this Ron, Hermione and Harry exchanged smirks.

" We are having two changes in staff this year, I welcome Prof. Grubby-Plank who will be taking care of magical creature's lessons. And I am also delighted to introduce Prof. Dolorus Umbridge as a Defence Against Dark Arts(DADA) teacher.

"Really? , A lady is gonna teach us how to fight dark arts." said Ron with a non believeing expression on his face.

" And what is that suppose to mean?" asked Ginny who was sitting besides him narrowing her eyes.

" o.. umm... well I mean.."

" What do you mean exactly?" asked Hermione sitting on the other side of him also narrowing her eyes.

Now Ron was swetting. He looked at Harry with a puppy eyes who was royally ignoring him.

"Traitor" Ron said under his breath earning a snicker from the boys and girls sitting around.

" But I am sure my next announsment will definetly get your interest," continued Dumbledore "It has hapened before. My dear students, this year we are having a transfer of student from Ind..." before he could finish, he was interrupted by,

"Hem Hem..." from none other than biggest pink toad in the world, Prof. Umbridge.

Dumbledore looked a little taken aback, and smartly sat on his chair. Umbridge stood up, despite the fact that it didn't really made any difference in her height, and stepped forward.

" Something's telling me it's gonna be a long speach" said Fread sitting not too far away from our three heroes.

"Thank you head master," she started " for those kind words of yours."

Her voice was high pitched, girly, irritating.

"It is really good to be back here at Hogwards," she stated " And to see such happy innoscent facess looking at me."

" Did this bitch just called us innocent Fread? " asked George narrowing his eyes.

" Calm down brother," said Fread " She is just a newbie. Doesn't know about us yet."

Both brothers now had a very evil smile on there faces." SOON " they said at the same time creating a little laugh arount the table.

" I am very much lookin forward to get to know you all better."

" Sure you will, bitch." said smiling Fread.

After a long speach of 'what should be done' and 'what should have been done by now' she went back to her seat earning a little clap from the crowd.

"Thank you very much Prof. that was very illuminating." said Dumbledore still clapping.

"Hey Hermine, did you saw that boy anwhere?" asked Harry urjently.

" Who?" she asked.

" you know, the boy at the train, with strange scars on his cheaks." explained Harry.

" He must be with those aurors. they must have caught him." said Ron as a matter of factly.

" Ron might be right." answered Hermione " couse I didn't saw him anywhere."

" Allright now I am full" said Ron with a saticfied expression on his face and rubbing his belly.

" Are you sure about that?" asked Hermione raising an eyebrow.

" Well... maybe I can take another pudding." said Ron making himself comfertable with another pudding and Hermione rolled her eyes while Ginny and Harry laughed.

" As I was saying," said Dumbeldore "That this year, we are having a transfer of a student from another wizardin school situated in India.

This created a lot of murmurs in the whole great hall.

" Hey I never knew something like that could happen." said Ron somewhat surprised.

" Why not," replied Hermione " it happens all the time in muggle world."

"Yeah, but this is not muggle world Hermione. Things works different here." said Ron somewhat irritated.

" He is right you know," supported Ginny,"Mum said that our (wizards) admission takes place at the time of our birth. With this you are connected to that school forever."

" Exactly," said Ron," You can't just leave it like that. You have to complete your studies from there only."

" Well, that's a news to me." said Hermione.

Dumbledore again clapped his hand to calm everyone down.

" Mr. Filch, if you would please." said Dumbeldore to Filch to which he noded and went out of the door and then came back with the same boy with whome Harry, Hermione and Ron shared there train compartment with.

" Where were you man," the boy was saying to Filch," Do you know how long I've been waiting here."

To everyone's and even Dumbledore's surprise Filch didn't say anything to the boy for talking to him like that. He simply pointed towards Dumbledore and again went back and closed the door.

" Ok, now THAT was wieard " said Ron with 'what the fuck' expression on his face.

The boy started to walk towards the stage where Dumbledore was standing, smiling and waiting for him. The boy was walking at a descent pace, hands in his pocket, full confidence could be seen on his face which was quite a feat as per Harry. I mean come on gys, think that you have to walk to about 100 metres when more then 2000 pairs of eyes were looking at you and you know it. Well anyone would be a little nervous, but by the look on his face, he was absolutly calm.

" He is kind of cute, don't you think" whispered some random girl from Ravenclaw which didn't go unnoticed by the boy. He smirked a little making few girls to blush. He looked at the golden trio. He didn't mind Ron at all. He looked at Hermione, and gave her a small smile. Hermione felt her face heaten up. She glanced at Ginny who also had a red tint on her cheeks. Ron frowned at that. Then he looked at Harry. Again Harry felt a tingling sensation at his scar and unconsiously touched it. The boy pretended to ignore that and kept walking.

"Welcome my boy," said Dumbledore," how are you feeling."

"Well... It's a little cold for me. Other then that no problem." replied the boy scraching the back of his head.

" that's very good," said Dumbledore smiling," aa.. Prof. McGonagall would you please be kind to sort this young man out."

" Huh..? He is going to be soarted by the hat..?" said Harry.

"Ofcourse, he is from other school remember.?" said Ginny," Besides it's his first time here at Hogwards. Sorting has to be in order."

True to her words, Prof. McGonagall brought the hat with her. She simply stood in front of the stool and said to the boy "Sit".

" um...okey."

He sat on the table absolutely unknown to what is going to happen. Prof. McGonagall put the hat on his head and waited like everyone for the announcement by the soarting hat.

"Where do you think he will be soarted at?" asked Harry.

" Don't know, don't care." said Ron carelessly.

" I hope he becomes a Gryffindor." said Ginny still red on the cheeks which pissed Ron.

" What do you think Hermione?" asked Harry still looking at the boy. He looked at her when he didn't get any reply.

" Hermione?" She was still looking at the boy with red tint on her cheaks.

Ron seemed even more furious then. He stood up then and snaped his fingers in front of her face saying " Snap out of it already."

Hermione inhaled sharply and said " Wh..what?". Now even more red, embaressed.

This made Harry and Ginny to laugh a little and Ron frowned while Hermione looked down in embarressment thinking " wts wrong with me. Stop blushing damnit."

For about two an a half minutes, nothing happened. All were waiting for the hat's reply but it was simply acting like a regular... well...hat. The boy had no idea what was going on. Was he supposed to do something, Or maybe they (Hogwardians) do the sorting by simply observing your behaviour after wearing the hat.

"Oh well..." he thought "Am I suppose to do something?" he asked to noone but loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Leave all to the hat." stated McGonagall simply staring at the boy.

"Sorting hat never took this long ever" said some random boy from ravenclaw. Harry couln't stop himself from agreeing.

"Man, I must be looking like an idiot right now." were the thoughts of the boy."If that snake basterd would have seen me right now he would have died laughing by looking at me wearing this stupid old wrinklly stinking hat...

But next words died in his troat because right at that moment something said above his head "Who are you calling 'stupid old wrinkilly stinking hat' son? For your kind information, I am very much respected here in wizard world."

Everyone in the great hall heard that decleration of the hat, so most of them started to snicker at the 'stupid old wrinkilly stinking hat' comment. Even Dumbledore had a small smile on his face.

" Who said that ?" wondered the boy to himself wide eyed. What he didn't expect was that someone would actually ans. to his wandering.

"Why, The hat you are wearing ofcourse." said the hat 'as a matter of factly' .

"HOLY SHIT IT TALKS" screames the boy almost falling out of his table.

This made almost every student present there to start laughing out loud including a few teachers. Prof. McGonagall looked angry and somehow managed to calm everyone down then turned to the boy and said sharply "Watch your language. you are not in any park."

"Sorry, I expected anything but that." He replied strengthning himself which caused another set of laughter from students.

"SILENCE" this time the soarting hat shouted and there was immidiate silence all around the great hall.

"Tough. Very tough" said the hat to itself "this is very strange."

Every person, living as well as non living, was listening very intently.

"Sorry, but what is so tough?" asked the boy to the hat out loud.

"Why, Sorting you in a house ofcourse," said the hat out loud,"I've never been in such a dilema in past 70 years."

" What's the dilema about," said the boy."just put me in any one of them."

" I was made when this school was created by four worlds most wise and powerfull wizards. The names of the houses have been named after them," explained the hat,"Gryffindor, is the house for those who have brave deeds in there name. All Gryffindors are brave and believe in friendship and nobelity."

That statement was followed by great aplaud and a comment " Alright baby, now that's exactly what we are." from the Wiesly twins from Gryffindors with a loud boo's from slythrin.

Hat chukled a little but continued,"While Slytherin has those students whose ansestery is pure. There way's are dark but they are equally brave."

A loud " HELL YEAH" came from none other then Malfoy who was supported by other Slytherin.

Hat again continued,"Ravenclaw contains those whose intelligence is surest. They are the one, who 'think' before they 'act'.

This got a cheer from Ravenclaw.

Finally the hat said," While the Hufflepuff's are the one's with the purest heart.

A very soft approval from every house except Slythrins.

Then hat concluded," So the pure bloods are for Slythrin, cunning, just like him. The brave ones for Gryffindore. Intelligent ones for Ravenclaw and finally those with none of those qualities lie in Hufflepuff."

"You mean Hufflepuff's are the Geeks, arn't they?" said the boy, not so loud.

"ha ha..," the hat chuckled," You could say that."

" But I still don't get the problem." said the boy.

" All my life, I've came across a lot of remarkable personalities.," the Hat continues," Some of them took dark path while some of them took the brighter one. But both made there name known in this world. Some were excepted by the world with respect."

At this Harry thought of Dumbledore.

"While some were excepted by fear."

This statement created some murmers around the hall. It was obvious who the Hat was talking about.

The Dark Lord

" And I know some, who will achieve great achievements in coming future." said the Hat.

As the Hat finished that statement, The boy sharply looked towards Harry. Harry could felt his gaze on his scar again.

" Back when I sorted 'The Dark Lord'...," This got interest of everyone inside the great hall. Dumbledore was almost leaning on the table and was listening with full concentration as well as Harry.

"...I faced a little dilema. His mind was like a black hole. It could consume everything. Even the things which should not have been consumed. His mind was one of the sharpest I ever came across with. So, it was obvious that he belonged to Ravenclaw."

At this everyone was exchanging nervous glances at each other. Umbridge looked at Dumbledore who had his undivided attention at the hat's conclusion. She was so not liking this. The last thing she'd want, is to make The Dark Lord a celebrity in Hogwards.

McGonagall gave Dumbledore a questioning look like asking to interrupt the sorting or not. Dumbledore understood the meaning of her glance and simply shook his head.

" But the darkness of his heart dominated over every other quality of his," continues the Hat," So, I soarted him in Slytherin."

Harry looked at the Slytherin's table. Almost everyone of them had a nasty smirk on there facess. Harry looked at Malfoy who was already looking at him with an arrogant smirk.

" There was one more extraordinary mind I encountered, long before The Dark Lord,"

Dumbledore shut his eyes and smiled at that and the Hat continues,

"His mind almost as shap as The Dark Lord, and his heart full of care and love. One of the most brave person I've ever sorted."

Everyone was wondering who could that be. Harry saw Dumbledore who still had his eyes closed and a soft smile on his face.

" And that was none other then our Head master Prof. Dumbledore."

And the whole great hall burst into applaud. Everyone had impressed expression on there facess while the first years were looking at Dumbledore with stars in there eyes.

"Now that's what I call 'being cool'." said Ronald.

"Amazing" said Hermione to herself.

"Well, I am not surprised." said Harry with a smile.

Dumbledore raised his hand and the whole great hall calmed down so that hat could continue.

"And now I see you." said the Hat.

"What's so special about me ?" asked the boy.

"Special you say?," the Hat contineus," you are kind hearted, but I can see that due to your past, you don't want to be one."

At this the boy's eyes narrowed.

"I can tell that your mind is sharp." said the Hat," because of the plans you have for your life, And for world and ofcourse for 'HIM'.

The last statement make the boy go tense.

'Utter a single word about my pla...'

''Don't worry, I know its not my place. Besides I will forget about your future plans as soon as I am removed from your head boy. Only your persona will remain in my memory with me.''

This conversation took place inside the boy's mind so, went un-noticed by everyone. But boy became visibally relaxed.

" And I can easily tell that you are one brave man." said the Hat, "the thing you did that night. I can tell you, not even 'he' could've done that."

" You could also belong to Slytherin, Because of the 'thing' you are having in your hand and also in your body."stated Hat.

At this, he unconciously reached towards his left hand and touched that 'thing'.

" So, now tell me boy," asked Hat," Do you understand my dilema?"

"Yeah , I can see that all good." said the boy with a frown on his face." Does my openion counts?"

" It is your openion which counts the most, son." said the hat.

"Then put me in Gryffindor." He thought quickly which was obviously heard by the hat who replied

"Is this for your plans or because of your bravery?"

"Why don't you tell me." thought the boy smirking a little.

" Ha ha ha..." hat chuckled " just like I said, you are a clever one. But I must tell you, the end is in world's favour, not in your's and also doing things with 'your way' is going to be very hard. You might loose your loved ones,... again."

"I've learnt many things from my past." thought the boy.

"Like?"

"When you follow the path, which I am following, then all of your bonds only slows you down. I am not the person I used to be. I won't stop untill I get to know 'his' secret. I don't care what it takes. 'He' took away everything I had. It's time I take everything 'he' ever had even if I have to pay the ultimate price for it."

"Giving away your life is not the ultimate price. Putting yourself for sacrifice is easier then to use someone else as the sacrifice. Do you really think you have what it takes to take someones life. Someone you care or mabe someone you love.?" asked the Hat.

The boy closed his eyes and took a deep breath and said in a soft voice

"Giving away your life or taking away someone else's is not the ultimate price."

Everyone was listening carefully.

"Then what is?" asked the sorting hat.

"The ultimate price is giving away the only memories you have of your loved ones." said the boy.

Harry saw Dumbledore noading at that. He too couldn't stop agreeing himself.

"Well said," said the Hat,"It seems like you know what you are doing, son."

" So, what is your decission?" asked the boy.

"Despite the consequencess," the Sorting Hat announced out loud,"I am proud to sort you in both,

GRYFFINDORE and RAVENCLAW.

For about a whole minute, there was absolute pin drop silence. Everyone was wide eyed. Ron's mouth was hanging open so wide that even his Pig could've easily camped in there. Harry's mouth was opening and closing like some fish and Hermione was in a condition she never thought she would ever be. She simply didn't know what to make out of the current situation. Both twins had 'What The Fuck' expression on there facess.

Then suddenly the cheers errupted from both the housses he was sorted at.

"Now that's some shit you see only for once in your life." shouted George.

Back at the stage, McGonagall found her legs and went forward to take off the hat. But before she could, the boy raised his palm signalling her to stop which she did.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't burn you after all this." asked the boy with a serious face.

"Why would you do that?" asked the Hat.

"You know my plans. And you damn well know I can't afford that."

"ofcourse. You asked for one, but I will give you two," replied the Hat," First, If you distroy me, everyone will get suspecious of you."

"Really? How's that?"

"You were talking about sacrificess just a little while ago, remember?" said the Hat

" Shit."

"Exactly. Now for the second reason,"said the Hat," I've already told you that as soon as I am removed from your head, I won't remember anything about you except your persona."

"Fine then" thought the boy and went to remove the Hat from his head. At last the Hat said it's parting and final words to him.

"Your goal is dangerous, son. But I myself wants you to go on. I hope you succeed in your quest. My blessings are with you."

"Blessings from a Hat? Yeah that's exactly what I need." thought the boy jockingly.

"Ha ha... Good Luck, son."said the hat.

And with that He removed the hat and handed it to McGonagall.

Gryffindors and Ravenclaws were still chearing. Everyone was feeling excited because something like this has never happened in 1000 years of Hogwards history. The boy was still standing at the stage when Dumbledore reached to the boy and said beamingly.

"Well that sure was entertaining. To be honest, I expected anything but that. Ha ha..."

"So what now?" asked the boy.

"Well meet me at my office after you have your dinner. We will have to discuss about your aa...condition." replied Dumbledore.

"Yes, Sir."

"Good. Now What is your name?"

"Man I expected anything but that." said Harry loudly.

"Yeah but they gonna have to do something about it," said Hermione." I mean noone can be at two houses at the same time."

"But still, It's cool, isn't it?" said Ron smiling."I can't wait to tell mum and Dad."

"What's so special about him?," asked a furious Malfoy."He dosen't seem special to me."

"ofcourse he is nothing compared to you Draco." sain Pancy to which Malfoy smirked arrogently.

" My dear students," said Dumbledore's booming voice which was magically amplified so that everyone could here him clearly.

"Let us welcome togather to our first years and ofcourse," He put a hand on the boy's shoulder."to our new transfered fourth year student from India...
