Musings of a Hat

The Sorting Hat reflects upon the students it has met and transcribes the Sorting conversations it has had with some of them. I aim to end up including every character mentioned in the books who went to Hogwarts. Will include the Next Generation. Canon.

I could feel the child trembling from the moment I was placed upon his head, but his mind was easy to read.

"I am so sorry about your parents."

"Thank you," he replied very quietly and politely. "So am I. It could be worse though…"

"Indeed. I am afraid I shall not have the pleasure of conversing with you for very long, though, Master Longbottom, because for you the choice is most clear. GRYFFINDOR!"

A/N: As always, reviews are greatly appreciated :D
