Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy

"Malfoy, Scorpius!", he was called from the line by Professor Crouch. It was suddenly very quiet in the Great Hall. Scorpius stalked forward. He sat down on the chair, put the hat on his head and was plunged into a deep blackness as the hat fell down past his eyes.
"Well, a Malfoy once again", squeaked the voice of the hat. Scorpius said nothing. Of course he would come into Slytherin. "Let's see", squeaked the hat, "now, you're marked by pride and arrogance. Yes, a true Malfoy, but there's a good spirit peeping out of you." Scorpius was confused. What did this mean? Did the hat want to place him into another house? "I only consider whether it's the right choice for you", replied the hat. Scorpius held his breath. "You're full of spite and malice. These are properties for Slytherin. But you're also intelligent and you can be a really good friend", squeaked the hat, "but actually it's quite clear, what do you think?" "Slytherin!", Scorpius thought immediately. The hat gave a faint sigh. "That was what I thought, now for my part, SLYTHERIN!", the hat proclaimed loudly.
At the half right table, the Slytherins let sound a loud applause. Scorpius put the hat back on the chair and walked proudly over to them. He was still slightly confused. What was the hat trying to tell him?
