A/N: God I love you guys! I mean the more reviews I get the more engouraged I get to write up more of the chapter. I'm sorry if I'm barely gonna be able to update more often, but its mainly for the reason that school is probably going to be giving A LOT of homework, but like I said. I'll try to update when I have the time. Anyway here's the next chapter. Enjoy guys!

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Harry Potter or any of these other characters (except Amunet, I made her up) they all belong to the famous goddess JK Rowling. Oh Hail JK Rowling! Come on, keep chanting with me!

"SLYTHERIN!" the hat shouted.

Hermione's jaw dropped immediately and her eyebrows shot up. The word 'Slytherin' was still ringing in her ears. Instead of taking the hat off, Hermione pulled it even lower to her head.

'Slytherin? SLYTHERIN?!? You must be mistaken, you even said that I wouldn't work well!' Hermione thought with a furiously red face.

'Well, I may have said that. But things change at the last moment, and I decided you may have had a chance in Slytherin. You're an ambitious young girl that has a hunger for power.' Replied the hat.

'I am NOT power hungry!'

'Yes, you are. You just deny it, but deep down somewhere in you your heart lingers for power, for your voice to be heard.'

'Shut up! I'm a mudblood remember!?'

'That doesn't mean you can't be in Slytherin. Yes, its rare for muggleborns to be sorted into Slytherin, but that doesn't mean they can't.'

'But. but.'

Before Hermione could get anymore out Professor McGonagall had tugged it off her head staring at her face with a confused yet irritaited expression. Hermione blushed and jumped off the stool hesitantly walking over to Slytherin table. She took a seat at the very end (and very secluded) of the table hoping to become invisible and unnoticed to all the Slytherins, though that didn't work too well. Tom was looking at her, almost analyzing her like a computer. Well, if Tom was giving his attention to her, every girl that liked him (which is half the school) was too, and all the guys that liked those girls were focusing their attention on Hermione too. Now this made Hermione stiffen and pale, nearly the whole school's eyes were directly staring at her.

Hermione felt someone sit next to her, to her relief it was Amunet. She was in Slytherin too?

"How'd you get into Slytherin." Asked Hermione.

"I asked the hat to sort me there." Amunet whispered back.

"You asked it to?" Hermione said bewildered, "How? I mean I didn't even want to be in this house and it still put me here, but you ask it to and it does it?"

"Well, I wasn't actually sure that it would sort me if I asked it to, but I guess it worked." Said Amunet moving the peas on her plate with her fork.

Hermione sighed and gave up on eating. She then felt someone tap her on the back. Hermione turned around and saw Tom.
