Dead Daemon Walking "Daemon" He gave me a cautious look (Daemon sounds to close to Demon for he's liking) "Daemon..." Think, think, THINK!! A last name affiliated with no evil groups (coughDeath-eaterscough) and common. "Daemon Jones" I said thinking of my crush on the muggle boy next door, Nick Jones, twin of the neighborhood bully, Max Jones. He nodded smiling. Dumbledore glided in, gave me an all knowing look, informed me I would be intending Hogwarts and was to be sorted later that evening at dinner, and we would talk later. And glided right back out of the infirmry with out in inquisitions, no nothing. He seems loony, I like loony.

That night at dinner McGonagall stood by the three legged stool that held a hat on it and called out "Jones, Daemon" I walked up, my mind wheeling with questions and crazy answers, I sat and she placed the hat on my head, and heard a voice, I haven't heard before. "Interesting, curious really, you are not who you claim to be." My mind gasps in horror "Don't worry, I see pureness in your heart, no evil intentions, so we shall keep your true heritage a secret." I sigh in relief, then he's voice starts to speak "Studious, shrewd, and meticulous in everything you attempt, you welcome a challenge with a calm mind and wit. But Ravenclaw is not for you, you are to opinionated and persuasive to belong their." He read some more of my mind and started speaking again

"You are good-natured, hardworking, with a strong sense of fair play. Friendly and loyal, you have a natural trusting personality, but Hufflepuff is not for you, for unlike Hufflepuff, after being deceived are lied to you become suspicious of those people and tend not to trust them every again, whereas Hufflepuffs forgive and forget." Pause and starts again

"Brave and chivalrous in the face of a challenge, loyal and convicted to the causes you believe in and those you care about, you are the epitome of what it is to be a noble witch. Always honorable, you are always willing to help anyone who is in need with legendary valor although the other people would prefer it if you minded your own business much of the time. You have the heart of a hero. Gryffindor is where your heart belongs. But schooling's for your brain and Gryffindor has nothing to teach you."

"Cunning, ambitious, and relentless, you shall be infamous thoughout Slytherin as the true Slytherin. Observant and calculating, you are careful in choosing friends as everyone is a potential Death-eater or murderer. Many people like to confuse the driven nature and elitist attitudes of Slytherins with evilness; however you simply understand that to the victor goes the spoils and to hell with the opposition. You are kind hearted and anti-evil. But I know who you are And I know you don't like it But..." "SLYTHERIN!!"
