Dumbledore smiled at the stunned faces of the people before him.
"Let me explain a bit about the history of the sorting hat" said Dumbledore and started to give them a lecture on the history of the Sorting hat of Hogwarts. Dumbledore proved to be very much more skilled at history of magic that Professor Binns
"You see the Sorting hat was first created by Godric Gryffindor when Hogwarts was founded. Just like Slazar Slytherin had his own secrets, Gryffindor had his own. Unlike Slazar who hid his secrets entirely from the world only to be found by his heir, Gryffindor allowed the rest of the world to marvel his secrets. But the purposes of those secrets were kept quiet. Most of these secrets by both Slazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor were target at one another. So when Gryffindor got to know about the Chamber of Secrets he created the Sorting Hat as the counter secret. But there's more to the hat than what can be seen" with that Dumbledore turned his gaze towards Harry.
"One such example was Harry here pulling out the sword of Gryffindor out of it in his attempt to dispose of the Basilisk. That's only one of the secrets hidden within the Hogwarts Sorting Hat. But only a true Gryffindor and especially his heir can make use of those secrets" Dumbledore moved his gaze towards the rest of the crowed.
"So I think you all agree that Harry has enough Gryffindor in him to be worthy of making use of the Sorting Hat. Especially when he's in such mortal danger"
The rest of the room, except for Snape nodded in agreement. Snape just stared at Harry with both Fear and Hatred. None of the others seemed to have noticed this as they were still giving Dumbledore all their attention.
"But we must make sure that the other students aren't aware of it being in Harry's procession, so Minerva I would appreciate if you transfigure it to something that Harry will be able to keep with him without arousing too much attention" continued Dumbledore.
Professor McGonagall nodded and held out her hand for the Sorting Hat. Harry passed it to her and she sat silent for a second. Harry assumed she was thinking what to transform it in to. Then she drew her wand out and tapped the Sorting Hat. Instantly the Sorting Hat transformed it self to platinum ring. The ring was shining brightly as the light reflected upon its surface. Professor McGonagall passed the ring to Harry and he was able have a good look at it. Thing had a tiny platinum Gryffindor lion on top if it.
"Go ahead Harry, wear it" said Sirius.
Harry nodded and put on the ring. He suddenly felt a tingling feeling. He felt as if a power surge just ran through his whole body. It seemed as if it was originating from the ring. At once he knew that this was no ordinary magical article. It had very powerful magic and he felt his confidence come back to him with it on his side always.
