A/N: I've been thinking about this idea for a while now, bouncing back different ideas in my head, and decided I'd finally do it! So, I hope this turns out as I wanted it to. This story will be a different characters' sorting with every chapter. As I said in the description, I will be changing the second character every chapter with the most recent character's sorting, so don't be surprised if you don't see the character's name you searched up for another few chapters. So, without any further ado, I hope everyone enjoys "With The Hat On Your Head"!
"Well put me on, I'm the Sorting Hat.
You think you know this, I know I know that.
I'll put you in the house you belong, just believe you me; this is no silly song.
So listen up! Ears open wide! If you think I'm mad, well you can step aside.
Which of the four houses will I put you in? That's for me to know while you scratch your chin!
Curious now, aren't you? Well it's just begun. But I'll tell you this: Hogwarts is fun!"
The four tables in the enormous room broke out into cheers and yells, nearly every student in the room clapping and laughing. The first years stood nervously by the wall, shocked by what they had seen. Only a select few had known what had been waiting for them as they walked into the Great Hall from older siblings. As the room died down, the Hat opened its brim wide again, taking in a deep breath.
"Shall it be Gryffindor, where the brave rest? Deep at night, you'll puff out your chest. Be proud of who you are, you're not shy. For Gryffindors will always be flying high!
Or will it be Hufflepuff, the loyal and true? Stay close to your friends and you'll be fine, won't you? One might think you're just a pretty face, but there's so much more in the Hufflepuff race!
But maybe neither, you might be Ravenclaw. Oh, you think you're smart, but by Grimm's Law, you are! You'll meet other brains, don't you worry. During class, things'll never get blurry!
Or last but not least, shall you be a Slytherin? Ambition and drive, that's what lies within! You'll make friends, oh Merlin, yes! Just watch your back, or you'll never make it to success.
So step right up, don't be frightened! Once I say your house, your future will be brightened!"
Cheers erupted again, smiles on every one of the students' faces. They couldn't wait to see who would be in their house. They would welcome each new first year with open arms, remembering when they had been a nervous first year.
Because really, that's where everyone starts out, isn't it?
With the Hat on your head.
