Chapter #4: The Sorting Hat

Raven was so deep in thought as the Titans followed Professor McGonagall into a carriage large enough to fit 20 people, that she never noticed Rorek sit next to her, "Penny for your thoughts?" He asked. She turned to look at him, "I didn't notice you were there. Sorry." She looked out the window, "I was just thinking about what house I'd be in." He moved into the seat across from her as the Professor began telling them about the school rules, "And what house would that be?"
"Slytherin obviously."
He sat back, "And why would that be?

"Family reasons of course." She answered. He nodded, "You forget one thing Raven. You are sorted into whatever house fits you. Not what house fits your family." "Well then what house do you think I'll be in?" He thought for a moment, "Ravenclaw." She snorted. Rorek leaned towards her, "Well then non believer, I offer you a bet. If you are placed in Slytherin, I will take you out on a date. And if you are in placed in Ravenclaw you have to ask the dear Potter boy out."

Raven raised an eyebrow, "And what makes you think that I would even consider wanting to go out with you?" Rorek thought for a moment, "Well, I'm not Malchior." She nodded, "Good enough. You have a deal." They shook hands, "But now I have a bet for you."
"Really?"

She nodded, "Yes. How long do you think it takes for Dic to finally crack?" She motioned to the other side of the carriage where a very mad Dic sat across from Malchior who had his arm around Violet. Rorek smiled, "I give it a week."

In the main hall of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter sat alone at one end of the Gryffindor table. His old friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley were sitting as far from him as possible and currently in a lip lock, not that he could have noticed even if they were sitting right in front of him. He was to busy thinking about his new friends, hoping that Richard at least was in Gryffindor with him. Just then the great doors flew open and the transfers were escorted in. The sorting of the first years had just ended and Harry had no memory of it at all.

The room went silent as the transfers stood quietly in front of the head table. Professor McGonagall cleared her throat and read out the first name. "Anders, Kori." A very tall and attractive red head that Harry remembered seeing with Neville in Diagon Alley walked to the hat and placed it on her head.

Good evening Kori. I see a great hunger for knowledge in your head. Her eyes widened, Eep! What is this voice that speaks in my head yet is not my own?

I am the sorting hat Kori. I see that your wish for friends and a place to belong overshadows you intelligence. I think I know the perfect house for you… "HUFFLEPUFF!" Kori stood up quickly, placed the hat on the stool and ran over to sit next to Cho Chang.

"Dragan, Malchior."

The boy who looked like Rorek walked up and hesitantly placed the hat on his head, well now, this is most interesting. Never seen a mind like yours before. A good mind, but you'd do best in… "SLYTHERIN!"

"Dragan, Rorek."

Malchior passed the hat to Rorek before sitting down in an empty seat next to Malfoy. Once again, the sorting hat called out a house instantly, "GRYFFINDOR!" The gryffindor house cheered as Rorek ran to sit across from Harry.

"Grayson, Richard."

Dic walked over to the sorting hat, stiff as a board, and placed it on his head reluctantly. Why hello there Robin, I see a good mind in your head, but definitely a large lack of judgement. But you do have a good heart and a need to protect those you hold dear. Yes, I believe the perfect house for you would be…"GRYFFINDOR!" With a big smile on his face, Dic ran over to sit next to Harry.

"Grayson, Violet."

Violet with a look towards the Slytherin table placed the hat on her head and sat down on the stool. Definitely a good mind I see. I see a need to fight for justice like your brother but also a stronger need to prove that you're not a child to him. Gryffindor or Slytherin? Which house shall it be? Violet decided to voice a thought, please, may I be in Slytherin? Slytherin it is. "SLYTHERIN!" With a smile to her brother, Violet sat between Malchior and Draco.

"Logan, Garfield."

Garfield ran up to the stool and sat crossed down cross-legged with the hat pulled down past his eyes. What a…jumbled mind we have here. There is only one house for you Garfield. And that house is…"HUFFLEPUFF!" Throwing the hat like a disk to Raven, Gar ran over to the Hufflepuff table and sat down next to Kori.

"Roth, Raven."

Raven placed to hat on her head before sitting on the stool. My what a mind. A love for books and learning and a thirst for justice. The best house for you would be Ravenclaw. Raven's eyes passed over Rorek's face, Hat, could you put me in Slytherin?

I suppose so, if that is what you truly want. "SLYTHERIN!" Raven concluded that ruining the rest of her year was worth seeing the look on Rorek's face. Oh yes, completely worth it. She sat across from Violet.

"Stone, Victor."

Victor walked over to the hat and placed it on his head, he didn't bother sitting down. Not a bad mind at all. A love for your friends, learning and mechanics, there is only one house for you my boy. "RAVENCLAW!" The Ravenclaw table cheered as he walked over and sat between to tall 7th years.

"Strong, Terra."

Ignoring the whistles from the boys at the Slytherin table, Terra placed to hat on her head and sat on the chair. Your unsure of yourself, that's for sure. You envy your friends and their happiness. And, what's this? A love for books and learning? Well the house for you then would be Ravenclaw with I believe you call him, 'big brother Vic?' "RAVENCLAW!" Amid the cheers from the Ravenclaw table, Terra made her way to sit across Vic and back to back with Gar.

The rest of the welcoming feast went by smoothly. Dumbledore told Violet and Raven that they would have a room all to themselves as the Slytherin's had an extra room. Harry made fast friends with Dic and Rorek and promised to show them around the school tomorrow after classes. Vic and Terra were offered tours of Hogwarts in exchange for information of their school in America. Cho Chang had offered to help Kori around the school and Gar just decided to tag along with Terra. Back at the Slytherin table, Draco and Malchior were talking as if they'd known each other for years instead of only a few days. Violet and Raven were just rolling their eyes and talking about the idiocy of men.

After the feast was over, friends escorted the new students to their appropriate common room. Not one head was filled with any thought other than sleep. Which was a good thing seeing as Kori was too tired to walk and just floated a foot above the ground while following Cho.

Unfortunately, for the students at Hogwarts, two of the worst villains around had taken the school into their attention. One was a villain known only to the residents of Jump City, U.S.A, despite his plans of world domination. This villain was known as…Slade, the ruthless fiend whose dream was to destroy the Titans and rule the world. The second villain was much more renown. Infact, he was known by every human in the world that had any access to magical news. This villain was known as Lord Voldemort…or Tom Marvolo Riddle…or He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named…or You-Know-Who. The list goes on but these are the four most common ones.

The two afore mentioned villains sat in an old cabin that had once belong to a long since dead muggle hunter. The old cabin was actually well furnished on the inside by the creature that had killed the muggle hunter. The cabin consisted of two bedrooms, an indoor bathroom with (Now 'Ooh' with amazement) a flushing toilet and a shower with hot water on the second story and a small kitchen and living room on the first floor. The villains sat side by side on the couch in the living room waiting for the cabin's resident to return.

Minutes were beginning to feel like hours before the door opened. Stepping inside was a short girl with long silver hair and white eyes, she was dressed in a long, sleeveless, with gown and went barefoot, she looked to be about 15 or 16 years old. Her sightless face turned towards the men and the room felt cold, "It is bad manners to enter a house uninvited and I do not remember inviting you."

Voldemort stood up quickly and smiled, "Yes my dear but we wished to speak with you and it was becoming cold outside." The girl smiled as the walked towards them, "I've never heard a supervllain confess to being cold. But I suppose that there is a first time for everything." She stopped in front of them and with a wave of her hand, a chair dashed across the room to stop directly behind her. Sitting down she turned to Slade, "State your name and business here. Both of you."
"Slade. Mastermind of Jump City."
"Lord Voldemort. We are here to enlist your services to remove a certain you could say boulder in our path."

She looked at them with her white eyes, "I don't move rocks for people. But if you want someone killed I'm your girl." "That is exactly why we are here miss-" Voldemort waited for her name. "You may call me Vrinity. Now what do I get for this elimination?"

Slade took out a check from his armour and passed it to her, "This is only half. You will receive the other half after we are sure your target is destroyed." Her eyes widened at the sum (Seems she's not blind), "Wow. How dangerous is this target that you'll pay so much?"

"You see, our target is not alone. He is protected by a group of supernatural teens that call themselves the Teen Titans. We were hoping that you might be able to disable his protection. Not kill necessarily but disable," Slade said. Vrinity nodded, "I can do that for this amount. Now I will just need the information on my target and his protectors."

Voldemort was the one that answered, "We will have the final copies of our information by the end of the week along with whatever weaknesses our spies have noticed. In the meantime however, I will need a place to stay." Vrinity looked at him, "Of course. You may use the guest room. I will show you around my home."

She led him upstairs, leaving Slade alone. Standing up he made his way to the door and began the long walk up to the nearest civilization. The only thought in his head was the hope that Vrinity would do more than just 'disable' the Teen Titans.
