Before they knew it they were ready for their sorting. They enter the Great hall. Professor McGonagall was standing in front of Dumdlode holding a Hat? She put the Hat down on a stool and the hat began to sing
Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you find a smarted hat then me.
You can keep you bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts sorting hat
And I can cap them all
There is nothing hidden in your head,
The sorting hat can't see
So try me and I will tell you
Where you ought to be
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell and brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind:
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a thinking Cap!
