Melody sat in the middle of Dumbledore's office on a three-legged chair. Elise, Melody's pert monster, sat purring/growling contentedly in her lap. Surrounding her were Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hermione, her father and the Head of Houses. She, as well as the others, was anxious to know what house she would be place in.

Dumbledore came in a few moments later carrying an old ratty looking hat. Without a word he placed it on her head and she was engulfed in blackness.

Right, yes, a voice whispered in her ear, Yes, yes it's all here. You are your fathers daughter I know exactly where to put you!

"SLYTHERIN!" the hat yelled.

Everyone sat in stunned silence. Melody closed her eyes, Slytherin? I'm a Slytherin?

She swallowed and opened her eyes. Everyone stared as if she had grown another head. Dumbeldore took the hat and she slipped off the stool.

Remus exploded, "You can't be serious! SLYTHERIN?! She's nothing like them!"

Snape glared at Remus, "Unfortunately I must agree. Miss. Lupin is not fit to be a Slytherin, she's too…" he paused, "nice."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"I agree, but the hat knows better then us. It sorted her and Slytherin is here she'll be…for the time being." Dumbeldore said, mentally he reminded himself to have a chat with the hat, something didn't fit right.

"Professor Dumbeldore, you can't be serious!" Remus cried.

Melody ignored the arguments around her, instead she met Harry's eyes. His eyes showed so much betrayal she felt something in her break. She shook her head in denial as Harry looked away. Ginny, Ron and Hermione avoided her gaze as well. Tears sprung to her eyes, "No." she said softly they were abandoning her.

Someone touched her shoulder. She looked up to see Professor Snape looking down at her almost kindly.

"Come." He said giving the Gryffindor a disgusted look. She lifted her chin determined she wasn't going to cry. If they ended their friendship because she was a Slytherin then so be.
