Hey There! If you're wondering why I haven't updated in a while it's because my computer kinda broke. So I spent plenty of time writing new chapters so I could start posting them really quick! Believe me I never realised how much time I spent on the computer before it stopped working. I'm also feeling quite sad about finishing all episodes of D Gray Man, which is one of my favourite animes... ALLEN WALKER IS AWESOME. But I've calmed down from the lost soul I was when it ended, I'm sure we all know that feeling. Anyway ... Good news that will cheer everyone up! I heard from a good anime watching friend of mine that Hiro Mashima is thinking about making more episodes of Fairy Tail!

I DO NOT own Harry Potter or Fairy Tail

Plz Review!

Enjoy!

Chapter 4 - The Hat's Decision

"Dragneel, Natsu."

Natsu stepped forward with wobbling legs, It was almost the same feeling that transportation gave him. Hoping he wasn't about to be violently sick all over the other first years he made his way to the rickety stool. He plonked down quickly and felt the hat drop over his head. It blocked out his vision completely. "Hmm." Said a voice, making him jump suddenly. He thought he could hear sniggering coming from the first years, he would have to get them later. "You're a strange one." Said the hat, drawing back his attention. "Where would suit you best?" Pondered the hat. "You haven't really got a sharp mind, so Ravenclaw's out." "Oi" interrupted Natsu "What's that supposed to mean?" The hat ignored him. "You don't seem very cunning, so Slytherins out." A vein throbbed in the mages forehead, if this hat didn't stop the insults soon he was going to be reduced to a pile of ash. "Hufflepuff or Gryfindor?" The hat asked himself. Nastu didn't know how long he was sat under the hat, but at the end of mindless blabbing to himself the hat finally announced "GRYFINDOR!"
With a wide grin Natsu went to sit at the table decked out in bright red and gold, leaving the hat on the stool for the next.

"Finnigan, Seamus."

A sandy-haired boy stepped up at this moment, he looked about ready to faint. When the hat was placed on his head it only took a minute to decide "GRYFINDOR!" Seamus went and sat opposite Natsu.

"Fullbuster, Gray."

Gray actually felt cold. It was as though he was back in the past, training to become an ice mage. He pushed the thoughts out of his head. He would have to get used to the cold of this unknown magic if he truly wished to master it. As he walked to the stool he felt his confidence build in every step. He could do this, just as he accomplished control over the ice. He would succeed this time as well, he knew it. "A bitter past, and possibly an even darker future, that is if you make the wrong decisions. It really depends on what you decide... But looking at you I see the heart of a lion, you are definitely one for GRYFINDOR!" Gray smiled slightly as he walked over to Natsu but really his brain was whirring with questions, he almost wanted to run back and force the hat to tell him what was coming. But he knew the hat wouldn't tell him.

"Granger, Hermione."

Harry suddenly remembered this girl from the train, she looked nauseous at she sat on the stool."Tricky one here." Said the hat in Hermione's ear. "There's definitely talent, I can see it. A thirst for knowledge... a longing for a good book... So I'm going to put you in" Hermione held her breath. "RAVENCLAW!" Shouted the hat.

"Heartfilia, Lucy."

Lucy was muttering to herself as she walked up the podium. As the hat dropped over her eyes and everything went dark she heard a voice. "Heartfilia eh? I don't know... Loyal? I suppose..." Lucy tightened her hold on the stool. "With my friends." She said "With your friends? Are you sure? It's not always wise to let what you want get in the way of what is truly best for you, but I don't see any harm in choices. GRYFINDOR!" Lucy beamed and went to sit down next to Natsu.

"Longbottom, Neville."

Harry smiled at him as he took his seat on the stool. After a while of waiting the hat announced "HUFFLEPUFF!" and Neville ran off still wearing the hat. After some laughter from the students Neville was sitting at the Hufflepuff table, red in the face.

"Malfoy, Draco."

Harry recognised this person, it was the blonde boy from before.

~flashback~

He wasn't the only one who laughed however, a pale blonde boy had also snickered. he pushed his way through the crowd. "Don't be stupid, Why would they make us fight a troll? Are you actually as dumb as you look?" Harry decided he liked this pale boy.

~end of flashback

Harry knew there was something interesting about Malfoy. The hat had barely touched his head before it screamed "SLYTHERIN!" Harry caught his eyes and gave an acknowledging nod which Draco returned before sitting at the table decked out in green.

"Parkinson, Pansy."

Another for the slytherin table, it was Harry's turn next.

"Potter, Harry."

Whispers broke out in the hall as Harry made his way up onto the platform, feeling as though his legs had turned to lead. As he sat on the stool the last thing he saw was a hall full of curious faces before all he could see was the inside of the sorting hat. "Difficult, Very Difficult." The hat murmered. "Not one for Hufflepuff. Even though you're pretty loyal..." Harry wished he could just sink into the floor, he heard a faint buzz of remarks from the students. "Very smart, Cunning.. Plenty of courage, But only if there isn't another option... Tactical... You're a sly one, that's for sure. Slytherin or Ravenclaw? The best choice is..." Harry tensed. "RAVENCLAW!" He hadn't realised he'd been holding his breath until he sighed in relief of actually being sorted. He was worried he would just sit there until the Professor pulled the hat off him and told him there was a mistake. He was slightly disappointed with the result of not being with Natsu, Lucy or Gray. As he sat at the Ravenclaw table amidst loud cheering he just caught Professor McGonagall say the next name.

"Scarlet, Erza."

Harry watched as Erza shakily made her way to the stool. It fell over her eyes. Harry waited in silence. When Erza also became a Ravenclaw Harry was delighted, he beamed at her as she sat down next to him with a small smile on her face. That's when Harry overheard a fellow Ravenclaw fourth year say "Aww, what an adorable couple!" Harry blushed violently and turned away. Luckily Erza hadn't heard and was watching the rest of the sorting. A boy named Dean Thomas and Ron Weasley went to Gryfindor, Whilst Blaise Zambini went to Slytherin. Once all first years were seated a man Harry hadn't noticed before rose from his seat. He had a long white beard and half-moon spectacles. "Now that we are all sorted, I just have a few words to say before we tuck into our delicious feast. And they are: Nitwit, Blubber, Oddment, Tweak! Thank you!" Over the cheering that followed Harry laughed and his spirits could only soar higher as mountains of food appeared in front of them. He had never felt happier than today.
