Next chapter as promised. Review please. Tell me what you think?
"What does the sorting involve?" Peter said nervously.
"Dunno" Said Sirius. Minerva McGonagall lead them into the hall, where on a three-legged stool lay a tattered, old hat. Then to the first-years astonishment the hat began to sing.
"Old as I appear to be,
My mind is ever young,
I was Godric Gryffindors' idea,
They were arguing when up he sprung,
"I have an idea" said he,
I'll but my brains into this hat,
And he shall sort instead of me,
They all agreed and that was that, and so was born the sorting hat,
I'll tell you where you belong,
You can't hide anything from me,
I'll look inside your head,
And find out where you're meant to be,
Maybe Ravenclaw is where you'll find your friends,
Wit and brains are valued there,
Fair Ravenclaw was a clever lass,
Talent like hers is rare,
So maybe Hufflepuff is where you're meant to be,
Dear Hufflepuff valued loyalty above all,
Friends found there, are friends forever,
Hufflepuffs are never cruel.
But if not there maybe Gryffindor is your home,
Gryffindor brave was the strongest man in the land,
Gryffindor are strong, brave and true,
Don't worry if that's not for you, because on the other hand,
Slytherin could be where you belong,
Cunning, sly and sneaky, and I'm barely getting started
Slytherin used his talents to get what he wanted,
Though worry not, those who are faint-hearted,
I shall find a spot for you,
I have never failed yet,
But try me on, let me see,
Everyone belongs somewhere,
So do not fret"
Remus breathed a sigh of relief. All they had to do was try on the hat.
"Sirius Black" McGonagall called. Sirius winked at James before sitting on the stool. The hat was barely on his head before calling.
"GRYFFINDOR!" There was a moment of shock. A Black in Gryffindor? But then applause broke out at the Gryffindor table.
"Amelia Bones"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Julie Caduim"
"RAVENCLAW!""
"Lily Evans"
"GRYFFINDOR!" James cheered loudly before getting a glare from Lily. It wasn't long before Remus heard his name.
"Remus Lupin." Remus walked over to the stool shakily.
"Well, well, a werewolf, haven't had one of them before."
"Gryffindor please" Remus thought.
"Why do you want to be in Gryffindor."
"I want to be with my friends"
"Friends are important Remus, but sometimes you have to stand up to them, they wouldn't hate you for it. GRYFFINDOR!"
Remus went happily over to the Gryffindor table next to Sirius.
"Well done mate, now we just have to hope James and Peter are with us"
"James Potter"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"YES!" Sirius yelled. James sat next to Sirius.
"Why didn't you tell me you were a Black?" he said in a accusatory tone.
"It's not something I'm proud of is it."
"Fair point, Petey's up."
"Peter Pettigrew" The hat stayed on Peters' head for a long time before finally announcing
"GRYFFINDOR!" The three boys cheered.
"Severus Snape" James and Sirius booed.
"SLYTHERIN!" The hat yelled almost as soon as the hat touched his head. James and Sirius booed louder. Remus tried shushing them but it didn't work. Oh, well he thought tucking into the feast.
Do you know how hard it is writing a sorting hat song? Sorry if it's bad it was the best I could do. Review please.
