What the Hat Told You
Vance, Emmeline

By Seereth

Good Lord, haven't seen one of you in a while, said the Hat companionably.

No, agreed Emmeline. But people had begun to ask awkward questions.

Yes. I much prefer being a hat… Let's see, father or mother?

She folded her hands and tried to keep her back straight. It became clear she was expected to answer. That's your job, isn't it?

I'm not omniscient, you know, said the hat.

I bet that eases the Malfoys' minds considerably.

The hat chuckled. You'll fit anywhere. Where would you like to go?

Wherever, said Emmeline, I'll get the most books.

I suspected. RAVENCLAW!
