A/N: The update is yet again late due to the computer and then the internet crashing, each for quite a while. To Fetch: I never said that Dumbledore was the headmaster or the deadmaster- I aid that he was the deputy headmaster which I thought that it was. Also, these sortings aren't supposed to be what happened, that's why it's called FanFiction. Madame Pince, Madame Pomfrey and Professor Sprout added to the list.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Chang, Cho
I don't think that most of the hall knew who Cho Chang was. Not many of them seemed to be paying attention to me again. As usual. Noone ever pays attention to me. Well, this sorting should get their attention.
"Chang, Cho." McGonagall barked out- I think she does that to make it seem like she's the strictest teacher in school to the little first-years. She isn't though- I'd have to say that that title probably belongs to Snape. Not much of a good title to have really. Something like 'Sexiest teacher' or 'Smartest teacher' or something like that would be better. It would give a better reputation anyway.
Hello.
Hmm.
Is that all?
Is what all?
Is that all you're going to say to me? I thought you'd be a nicer person!
I'm not a person anyway.
So? That doesn't mean that you have to be so mean to me.
I'm not being mean to you!
Yes you are. I knew you would be. Everyone around here will probably be mean to me.
Honest- I'm not being mean to you! I will soon if you don't shut up.
I'll cry.
Huh?
I'll cry if you are mean to me anymore. I mean it- don't push me.
Okay then, I guess it's Hufflepuff...
How dare you! 'She suddenly sounded quite indignant.'
How dare I what?
How dare you think of putting me into a house filled with yellow-bellied freaks. I should report you to the Headmaster. When my parents find out about this you'll be a handbag!
A handbag?
Do you want me to be the cause of your demise?
Err, no?
If you dare to even think about putting me into Hufflepuff again then you will be sorry. You'll get the chop you will!
Okay then- I guess it's Slytherin... Hang on a minute, what are you talking about, the chop?
The chop generally means that a person looses their head- mainly from an axe or a guillotine. During the French revolution a lot of noble men and women got their heads removed. Henry VIII had two of his wives destroyed like this. There is a ghost haunting this place who was beheaded but that did not work very well. Many other famous figures in history have been beheaded and quite a few of them for religious purposes. Other common historical types of killing were hanging, cutting someone into quarters and burning at a stakes which was what happened to so-called witches not so many hundred years ago. 'She replied in a pompous voice.'
What? Ravenclaw...
Oh Ravenclaw would not be too bad I suppose, I do not think however that I will be able to prove how gallant I am and, if the need arises, I do not think that I would be able to save many people if I was in Ravenclaw and I want to do that more than anything in the world. When I grow up I plan to be something like a Muggle nurse so that I can help to cure people which is oh so enjoyable. I could never become something like a lawyer, they are so dishonest and I couldn't bear to lie to people- only evil people, as the such in Slytherin could do that.
Gryffindor... Hang on a minute- have you been reading books or something?
Yup- so, which house should I go in I think that I have covered most of the personality points needed to be accepted.
Huh? Covered all the points?
Yeah you need to prove that you have enough personality to go into each of the houses.
You don't do that!
You don't?
Why would you?
'Cause I got told that if I didn't then I would end up being kicked out.
Since when?
How am I meant to know? You've been here longer than I have.
Maybe it's a new rule. I should ask.
You probably should.
Who told you about this rule?
Oh he was called something like Frog, Freig, Fred! That was it, Fred something.
Weasly?
I think so.
Never mind then. I don't need to check.
So, which house am I supposed to be in?
Hmm, RAVENCLAW!
I think that the Weasly boy remembered the sorting- those twins had been the source of so many miss-interpreted sorting ides for first years that I can't even count them! Not much of the Ravenclaw table was laughing, I think that they now have an idea that she isn't exactly smart enough to be a Ravenclaw. Of course, there's always someone better than you and someone more stupid and I think that I found the stupidest one a few sortings ago.

A/N: The next chapter (computer's health permitting) shall be up within the week.
