Chapter 48
Harry told Alex about the four Houses, and what their names were.
"Alex, Hogwarts has four Houses, and the Sorting Hat puts you in one of them," Harry explained the best he could.
"What are their names?" asked Alex.
"They're Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin," said Harry, listing of the houses names.
"Will I be sorted?" asked Alex.
"No," said Harry, remembering what he had been told.
"Why not?" said Alex.
"Ok, wait a minute," said Harry. Harry took Alex to the Headmaster's office.
"Headmaster, is it possible for Alex to see what House the Sorting Hat would put him in?" asked Harry, when they where settled in the headmasters office.
"He will stay in Gryffindor," said Albus, he had his plans and because of Alex and his family he already had to change them. He didn't want all his work to go to waste.
"Please, Harry told me about the Houses and the Sorting Hat," pleaded Alex, wanting to know what house he would have been in.
"And?" said Albus, not seeing the point.
"Please, even if I stay in Gryffindor, please let the Sorting Hat sort me," said Alex, with his best puppy dog eyes.
"Ok, Alex. Sit down," said Albus with a sigh.
"Ok," said Alex, happily sitting back down on the chair as he had been standing on the chair when he had begged the headmaster.
The Headmaster put the Sorting Hat on Alex's head.
"So, you want to be sorted?" said the Hat in Alex's head.
"Yes, please," said Alex to the hat.
"But why would a fae want to be sorted?" asked the Hat, Alex could just imagination the puzzled look on the hat's face if it was possible.
"Because, I'll be here at Hogwarts for a year," said Alex told the hat.
"So, you want to be sorted, to be fair?" asked the Hat, a bit surprised.
"Yes, please," said Alex, remembering what Harry had said about people showing you more respect if you used manners.
"And manners."
The Sorting Hat said nothing for a minute, before saying "I can not pick just one House, he belongs in all the Houses."
The Headmaster and Harry looked at each other, because never had the Sorting Hat said all four Houses.
"Well, Alex, what House would you like to be in?" asked Albus, in a grandfatherly way.
"Gryffindor," said Alex, knowing that all the people he knew would be in that house. Alex then spoke again, "Why did the Hat say all four?"
"Because, you could fit in any of the Houses," Harry explained to Alex.
"Can Puck?" asked Alex thinking that he didn't want anyone to be left out.
Both Dumbledore and Harry started to laugh, because nobody knew if Puck could be sorted. Then, Harry took Alex back to Gryffindor Tower, and Alex ran into the common room and jumped on Puck.
"Guess what?" said Alex happily.
"What?" asked Puck, wondering what could have gotten his prize pupil so excited.
"Harry took me to the Headmaster's office and asked if I could be sorted," said Alex who was puffing his chest out proudly, he was a big boy like Harry.
"What did he say?" asked Puck with interest.
"Yes, and then he told me to sit down, and then he put the Hat on me. It talked to me and said that I could belong in all four Houses," said Alex.
"It did?" said Puck, surprised; he knew that no one had ever been told that they were un-sortable.
"Yeah," said Alex.
"Well, what House did you pick?" asked Puck.
