A/N I know, that song was pathetic. I'm sorry, I'm a writer not a poet.
Professor McGonagall pulled out a long sheet of paper, and it started calling names.
"Bode, Broderick."
A boy stepped up to the stool that held the hat, and sat down. But then, who didn't appear to be nervous, with the exception of Tai, James, and Sirius. Indeed, James and Sirius were simply looking around, slouched, with their hands in their pockets. Tai couldn't help but notice that many of the girls in the audience were looking at them. She barely noticed that nearly every male eye in the room with the exception of most first years, who were to nervous to look at any one, was on her. Tai had learned, from her years of performing, how to distinguish faces in an audience. She knew that from the outside, she looked as calm as could be, totally cool, no matter the circumstances. Inside was a different story. She despised the idea of being separated from her friends, but she had the queerest feeling that this ugly little hat would choose her destiny. The thought was not at all comfortable.
She looked up as Professor McGonagall said "Black, Sirius." Sirius, swaggered up to the stool, put the hat on his head, rested one elbow on his upraised knee, and put his chin in his hand, surveying the hall with a cocky air.
The hat took quite a while with Sirius. "hmmm very difficult. Your bloodline screams Slytherin, but in your heart is what counts, and what is in there is very different. You are loyal that's true, and intelligent, oh my goodness yes, but you have the bravery, to pursue your loyalty, your intelligence, your destiny. Which is why I declare you a GRYFFINDOR."
Sirius, looking surprised, but happy swaggered over to the Gryffindor table, where he was receiving loads of applause.
Next was "Delahnee, Scarlett" and Tai's new friend walked to the stool. She sat down looking very nervous.
"interesting. You do have brains, but more importantly, you have logic. You love beauty, and see its' value, in yourself, and in books. You are difficult. Indeed. But oh! There's something else there. Deep in your heart, it's lurking, hoping to find it's way out. Bravery, bravery to stand up to the unknown. You are most certainly, a GRYFFINDOR!"
Scarlett looking pleased, walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat next to Sirius, who casually put an arm around her, which she removed, laughing.
Next, "Diggle, Dedalus" was declared a Gryffindor, and "Dolohav, Antonin" was declared a Slytherin.
"Evans, Lily" was called next and trembling, she walked over to the hat.
"my oh my. Amazing brains in this head. You would do well in Ravenclaw, and in Hufflepuff, for you are loyal to your friends, but you have courage, and that is what shows the most, and is why I put you in GRYFFINDOR!"
Next, "Lestrange, Rabastan" was sorted into Slytherin.
When "Lupin, Remus" name was called, he walked with a straight back, to the stool. "fascinating. You are indeed original. However, as your normal tendency, you are not hiding in books, for you are brave enough to face what is the truth, you are a true Gryffindor"
Next, "Malcolm, Anita" was called and walked to the stool. Tai's blonde friend put the hat on which covered her eyes.
"hmmm. You are unique, and unafraid to show it. You are intelligent, but bravery rules your heart. You belong in GRYFFINDOR"
"Pettigrew, Peter" was also sorted into Gryffindor. Tai was minimally surprised at this, but was too nervous to care
Eventually, "Potter, James" was called and he swaggered up to the stool, much like Sirius.
"hmmm. I can tell you're destined for Gryffindor, no doubt. You have a bravery to put everything you have for what is right, and what you love. GRYFFINDOR"
No one knew how true that was.
Finally, finally, Tai's name was called. She walked to the stool with a grace that had been borne of her days of modeling. She sat on the stool crossed her legs at the ankle, and put the hat on her head. It was all she could do not to jump as it said very loudly into her head:
"Interesting. You have an interesting past. It has taught u the values of a Slytherin, and you have renounced those ways. You are smart, and loyal, but you are brave, you showed bravery even coming to this school, and I have a feeling that you will be showing it again. GRYFFINDOR"
Tai walked to the table, elated, noticing that she was receiving many whistles from boys, and A LOT of applause.
"Snape, Severus" a greasy looking kid was made a Slytherin, and "Umbridge, Dolores" made her way to the hat. Tai was shocked, this girl was very round, and had a face like a toad. She simpered at Dumbledoor, the teachers, and the students before putting on the hat. She was declared a Slytherin. Instead of going to her new house table like a normal person though. She stood up and looked at all of the assembled people. She looked as though she was about to give a speech.
