Chapter 9: The Sorting Pokemon
Disclaimer: I do not own neither "The answer to life, the universe, and everything" Or "The Lord of the Rings" -I make references to both of these, and I thought it was best to say.
"Alrigh' firs' years, in 'ere!" Hagrid said to them all. "This 'ere leads to the great Hall! Be sure to not get lost!" Harry passed Hagrid going towards the entrance, and Hagrid quickly shot out a whisper, "Nice work on the firs' battle, 'arry, but remember, battling on trains isn't allowed... so umm, don't do it again!" Harry smiled at him and continued walking forward, only to bump into who else, but Draco Malfoy! "Oi! Didn't your mum teach you manners, Potter?" Draco attempted to spit at Harry, but remembered that this was Harry Potter, not just another low-life. (his idea of low-life anyway!) Ron, Hermione, Neville and Shine finally caught up with Harry, just in time to experience Draco storming off and Harry smiling, quite happily, "What happened here, Harry? Did Malfoy do something?" Ron asked, as Harry spinned round and looked at them,
"Nope, nothing much... just Draco being Draco, and me being me..." the group smiled, all agreeing that as seeing what had just happened, Harry's point of view was clearly correct. "Well! To the great Hall we go! Where we will be sorted by the Sorting Hat!" Shine announced, though rapidly corrected by Hermione, "Umm not the Sorting Hat, Shine, it's the sorting Pokemon! In what kind of world could a hat be psychic?!" though Shine just looked at her, her smile plastered on her face, and the words, "Just maybe" written all over her!
"Excuse me, everyone, please quieten down!" as soon as these words were spoken, it was as if the Hall had been put on mute. "The first years are arriving and we don't want them to have a bad impression of Hogwarts, now do we?" Dumbledore smiled at all of them, waiting for the door to open. When it did, the Hall was filled with buzzing first years, eager to join Hogwarts today! "Quieten down now, quieten down!" all the first years looked up at Dumbledore, and out of respect, not fear, stopped talking. "Now, I would like you all to stand in a straight line" this voice was not Dumbledore's, it was a different voice! Realizing none of the first years knew who she was, she spoke up, "My name is Prof. Mcgonagall. Now like I said, could you all get in a line?" the students figured she must be an important figure, so did as they were told. Draco and his gang thought of rebelling, but considered getting in trouble before they were a part of this school might not be the greatest of ideas. "Alright, thank you. Now, each of you will be called out from my piece of parchment." she held up a piece of long paper, "You will sit on the stool and let Hypno here," A strange yellow Pokemon emerged from Mcgonagall's Pokeball... it had a white-ish sort of scarf and was a dark yellow, "Sort you into the separate houses." she finished talking and held up the paper to her glasses, "Chang, Cho!" a girl separated from the line and sat on the pedestal, Hypno swaying its pendulum back and forth, causing the girl to fall asleep, almost hypnotised! Suddenly, the Hypno let out a cry! "Ravenclaw" Cho looked for the blue table with the huge Xatu, before heading for it. "Boltlight, Shine!" next it was Shine's turn to emerge from the line. Afterwards, she sat in the stool before being hypnotised by Hypno's pendulum. Hypno let out another cry! "Gryffindor!" Shine walked towards the red table with the large Ninetales. "Malfoy, Draco!" Draco lounged up to the stool and sat down, beeing put to sleep instantly. Another cry! "Slytherin!" Draco stood up, and strolled to the green-ish table with the big Scolipede on it. "Potter, Harry!" the school silenced. Was this really the Harry Potter? Harry walked up to the stool, obviously uncomfortable of all the eyes staring at him, and sat down. He stared at Hypno's pendulum, but found it hard to follow it with his eyes. Before he knew it, he was in a deep, deep sleep! "Hmm... you are quite hard to decide, aren't you?" Harry stared at the Pokemon in front of him in disbelief. "You can... talk?!" now Hypno stared at him in disbelief, "Why yes... hmm why yes of course! I can talk, I figured you'd know that... hmm, yes, how did you not guess? Hmm, I shouted out the houses!"
"Well... yeah I knew that but, I thought Mcgonagall just trained you like that! Anyway, what about the sorting? How does that work?"
"Aaah! Hmm well, I sort you into the house I think you should be in."
"What?! You decide? I can't?"
"Well of course not! Hmm, if I let you decide, you will just choose to be with your friends, and not be in the house that suits you to the best of your abilities! Hmm, why yes! Gryffindor is the house of the brave and bold; Ravenclaw is the house of the intelligent and smart! Hufflepuff is the house of over all capability, and Slytherin is the house of sneaking and swiping! Slytherins use their sneakiness in a battle, just like you did! Hmm yes!"
"What! No! I can't go in Slytherin" Harry was panicking, what was happening!
"Why yes, hmm, next time, let me finish! In the battle you also-" but he was interrupted by Harry, "Wait... the battle? How do you know about that?" He was confused, how did the Hypno know so much? "Well, Harry, I know about the battle because I read into your thoughts! Hmm yes, I can do that. Anyway, let me continue. Hmm, in that battle, you showed much courage and braveness in counting on your Pokemon, and no giving up when times were tough! Hmm... yes... Although you also showed an over all capability in the battle, improvising with whatever moves you had! You also showed smartness by using Treecko's move set to your advantage! You figured since grass isn't good against poison, I'll use normal! All these abilities could put you in different houses, but the one that suits you best is in fact... Hmm..." Hypno stopped talking for a moment, and looked as though he was figuring out the answer to life, the universe, and everything! (The answer's 42 by the way.) Then Hypno let out a screech that snapped Harry out of sleep! "Gryffindor!" Harry rushed forwards, drowned by the applaud and the loud, "We got Potter!" chants! (Oh and yes, this paragraph is the longest of them all)
Author's Notes: NEEE NAWWW NEEE NAWWW! This longest story ever has come to an END! Yahah! Of course most of you will know that Harry's friends will be sorted into BLANK but I won't write it in for those who don't know :P Most of you do so nothing to worry about...
YEEAAW I am super sorry this wasn't out on Thursday like on my schedule, so it'll be today (hopefully today is Friday...)
Well, remember, my name is X7Z, you're awesome, and I'll see you later!
Extra note: Hopefully all changes in Chapter 7 were fixed. If you find something wrong please tell me! (PM) Will help ALOT!
