Chapter One

Missy Mcra walked up the stone steps of Hogwarts. It was her first day at the school and she already had a busy schedule. She was to report to professor Dumbledore's office the moment she got in. From there she wasn't sure what she was to be doing, but felt it would be busy. The moment she walked into the actual school Professor MaGonnergal was all over her. Making sure her every whim was taken care of. Once that was done and over with she directed Missy to Dumbledore's Study where she was taken in and told to wait while the Professor went in to make sure everything was ready for Missy.

After a while she returned and took a hold of Missy hand taking her into a room that was mainly dark but sitting of a stool was an old ratty looking Wizards hat. Professor McGonagall took the ratty old hat from the stool, and stood there as if Missy was to know what to do.

"Are you going to stand there all day girl?" She questioned, but continued before Missy could say a word. "Well sit on the stool you silly girl." She instructed. Missy sat down on the chair. He feet just touched the hard ground. Professor McGonagall was about to put the wizards' hat on her head when Missy jumped from the chair.

"You are not putting that flea-infested cap on my head." She said point blank.

"Ms. Mcra would you please sit back on the stool. I will explain to you what is going to happen." She said. Missy looked hesitant for a moment then sat upon the chair. Once settled on the chair the Professor began to explain how it would work, and by the end Missy looked so bored out of her mind that she wouldn't have cared. With a single tap the hat came alive and started to speak. Missy jumped a little but listen carefully to its unique song:

'A thousand years or more ago,

When I was newly sewn.

There lived four wizards of renown,

whose names are still well known:

Bold Gryffindor, from wild moor,

Fair Ravenclaw from glen,

Sweet Hufflepuff, from valley broad,

Shrewd Slytherin, from Fen.

They shared a wish, a hop, a dream,

They hatched a daring plan

To educate young sorcerers

Thus, Hogwarts School began.'

The hat stopped for a pause long enough for Missy to speak.

"Does it ever shut up?" She comments, saying with all her body langue that this didn't me anything to her. Not what it had meant to all those who sat with the old wizard's hat on their heads before her. The Professor gave her a hushing looking and Missy just rolled her eyes and the old hat kept talking.

"Now each of these four founders

Formed their own house, for each

Did value different virtues

In the ones they had to teach.

By Gryffindor, the bravest were

Prized far beyond the rest;

For Ravenclaw, the cleverest

Would always be the best;

For Hufflepuff, hard workers were

Most worthy of admission;

And power-hungry Slytherin

Loved those of great ambition.

While still alive they divided

Their favorites form the throng,

Yet how to pick the worthy ones

When they were dead and gone?

'Twas Gryffindor who found the way,

He whipped me off his head

The founders put some brains in me

So I could choose instead!'

"Oh great my fate is in the hands of a piece of fabric that is more than a thousand years old. Am I the only one who sees a problem with this?" Missy cut the hat off suddenly with her comment. She received a quick slap upside the head from the Professor, then the hat went on.

'Now slip me sung about your ears,

I never yet been wrong,

I'll have a look inside your mind

All tell where you belong!'

And with that the Professor placed the hat on Missy head and waited.

"Ah Missourie what an interesting name for a girl with your mind. Just like your father I can see that very clearly, but there is a lot of your mother in you to girl. Such a hard choice to make, you would do well in either one. Ravenclaw or Gryffindor? GRYFFINDOR!" The hat yelled out causing Missy to fall right off her chair.

"Ah. You'll now be apart of my house Ms. Mcra." Professor McGonagall.

"Oh gee. I can hardly contain my excitement in." Missy said with a venomous voice full of sarcasm.

"Well your just going to have to try." Replied the Professor in a similar voice.
