Chapter 4: The Sorting Hat Does my Bidding(muahahahahahahahahahahaha!)


The group was far back against the wall. Either sitting or standing. McGonnagall was calling out the names of the first years. Afterwards the hat would call out a house name and said kid would go to the cheering table. It was incredibly boring. Soon, McGonnagall was finished with the list. "We will be having 6 Transfer students joining the 6th year." McGonnagall's stern voice explained to the eager school.

She pulled out a(n extremely) shorter list and began to call off names.

"Sueño Esprit-Rêveur."

Sue stood from her spot on the floor and walked over to the stool. The hat fell over her eyes.

:; Ahh. A full mind we have here ;:

'Who's there!' Sue asked mentally. Being a little freaked out by the voice in her head.

:; It's just the sorting hat. nothing to fear from me. No lets see . . . Giving . . . Kind . . . Yes you'd make a great Hufflepuff. But what's this? Not able to verbally speak aye? Well then. Better be- ;:

"GRYFFONDOR!"

A table clad in red and black cheered wildly as sue walked over quietly and sat beside Andre(who sat beside the HP trio). "Fiamma Spirito-Del-Fuoco."

Fiamma stood and skipped to the stool. The hat was barely 3 feet above his head and when the hat shouted out -

"GRYFFONDOR!"

Fiamma ran off to the table where Sue was sitting at. Smiling at Harry, Ron, and Hermione when he got there.

"Oiseau Alies."

Tori stood and literally hopped her bubbly self over and sat on the stool Indian style.

:; Another full mind! How many times will I be blessed with a challenge today? ;:

'Legaspwhoevermayyoubeareyouastalkerareyoustalkingmeidon'twanttobestalkedbysomeevilperson!'

(Translation: Le gasp! Whoever may you be? Are you a stalker? Are you stalking me? I don't want to be stalked by some evil person!)

:; No. I am the sorting hat. Now lets see. Brave, funny, bubbly, a troublemaker at times. Well then. You are a ;:

"GRYFFONDOR!" (surprising ain't it?)

Tori hopped off the stool an to the table . . . only to stop half way and walk back to return the sorting hat that she had taken along with her. A lot of people laughed at her blindness.

"Hexe Licht."

Hex glared at McGonnagall before glaring at Azote who was laughing at her full name. She stood and walked over to the stool and let it be placed over her eyes.

:; Yes, yes. Another complicated mind. ;:

'Woa! Dude! Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my head!'

:;Calm down! I'm just the sorting hat. ;:

'Oh. Well put me in Gryffondor.'

:; And just exactly do you want me to put you there for? ;:

'MYOB bub.'

:; Ah. And what if I don't? ;:

'Than you'll cease to exist in the plains of this world.'

:; Let's see. You belong in . . . ;:

"SLYTHERIN!" Hex immediately shot up and started letting out a large string of curse words at the hat in every language except English. She then rolled up the sleeve or her robe and tried to pummel it but was held back by Jayson who was pulling her back to the Slytherin table. All the while she was letting out a line of threats all directed towards the hat.

She sat at the table unwillingly and sighed. "Oh well. It can't possibly get any wors-"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"WHAT!" Hex looked back to see Azote sitting on the chair. "I am NOT living within the same dorm as her!" They both yelled at the same time. Before glaring at each other and getting into another verbal fight. It almost broke out into a fist fight except for the fact that Jayson was holding Hex back while Tori and Sue held Azote back.

"Guys! Calm down!" Tori said while struggling against her struggling friend. The fight soon dwindled as both Hex's and Azote's strength dwindled until they where both dragged to the Slytherin table and where sitting down with Jayson between them. Rosa had been shaking her head in disapproval after slapping her hand onto her forehead. Completely ignoring any and everything else until her name was called out.

"Estrella DeRosa Kaiba."

The room was silent. Save for the whispering that had erupted at Rosa's surname. Since Duel Monsters had been introduced, it had become a large craze with the Britons and everyone knew the 'Kaiba' name.

Rosa walked up and sat on the chair with her eyes closed and an emotionless look on her face. The hat dropped over her head.

:; Ahh! God has rewarded me. A very challenging mind I have to sort! ;:

'Can we hurry up and get this over with? I don't like people staring at me.'

:; You're not surprised about my voice in your head like you're friends where? ;:

'No'

:; Very well then. Bravery, Loyalty, Cunning, Courageous, Curious, Cautious, and very well hidden! I haven't seen mental barriers in one's mined for some time now! ;:

'I've had practice.'

:; I see. You have qualities if all four houses yet I can't seem to place you. I will need to enter you're mind further. ;:

' . . . '

:; Yes . . . Yes . . . Ye - oh my. A very hard past you've faced. I see the death of you're mother, the abducting of a close friend, Your father falling into a deep depressio- ;:

'Please! Please . . . no more.'

By now Rosa's head was bent down so no one could see the small crystalline tears slowly dripping down her cheeks. A few hit the tile but they went unnoticed.

:; Alright then. Better be - ;:

"GRYFFONDOR!"

Rosa quietly stood and placed the hat on the stool before walking over to her cheering table with an expressionless face, but with saddens, longing, anger, regret . . . all fighting for a chance to be let loose. Rosa quietly sat at the table beside Sue and Harry.

: Rosa, are you ok :

'I'm fine Sue.'

"Rosa, are you ok?" Harry asked. Having recognized the look he had worn once before.

"I'm fine Harry."

And without another word, Dumbledore gave his speech, and the food appeared on the table. While everyone chatted regularly, Rosa picked at her food in silence. Not really in the mood to do anything but sit in her room alone and try to forget the memories that had built up.


A small, shaggy figure scampered up to a man in a dark cloak.

"My Lord!"

"What is it Wormtail?"

"We have received the ware a bouts on the girl My Lord!"

"Well don't just stand there! Where is she!"

"H - Hogwarts sir."

"Figures." The cloaked man stood from his seat and walked past the shivering servant. "Master, Where are you going?"

"Do not question my authorities Wormtail. It will be the end of you."

The cloaked man glided to a magically sealed door. It opened with a flick of his wand as light washed over the room. A 15 year brunette haired girl with yellow spots hung from chains on the wall. Her body was stretched out and covered in blood while her head drooped to hide her eyes. The dark man walked up to her and lifted her head out of the shadows.

Honey colored eyes with cobalt flecks glared at him with an intensity that he was greatly terrified of. Not that he would admit it though. "Will you join? Or do I have to starve you for another month?" The girl just kept on glaring at his shadowed face.

"Well?" The cloaked man asked. Growing annoyed with her constant resistance. She sighed.

"What do you want me to do?"

The cloaked figure let out an extremely crazed smile.

"Excellent"
