The memory of Tom Riddle gestured dramatically at the unconscious Ginger by his feet. "It's pointless to try to save her, you know. I'm stealing her magi-" "Don't care." "...What?" "Nope, she stole my favorite quill last week. She can fend for herself." Crack. No pairings.

6. In Which The Hat Is Horrified

In Which The Hat Is Horrified

Professor McGonagall always looked forward to the Sorting, no matter how many times she had seen it, but this year was special. This was the year that Harry Potter, the child of two of her favorite students, would be attending Hogwarts for his first year. She usually tried not to guess which students would be in her house, but she was hoping for the young Potter to be placed in Gryffindor.

The transfiguration teacher watched intently as the small, scruffy-looking child took a seat in the stool next to her, and gently placed the Sorting Hat on his head, the same way she had for every other student.

Of course, she was as surprised as anyone when, just like it had with the newest Malfoy, the Hat spoke almost as soon as it touched the child's head. The entire Hall froze in shock when they heard what the Hat said.

"Merlin's beard, NO!" And then it spoke no more, not even when Albus questioned it. It appeared to be having the equivalent of a mental breakdown.

Harry Potter just sat there on the stool, appearing to be a mix between wanting to laugh, groan, face-palm, and shrug as if to say, 'Oops.' All in all, if facial expressions could speak, his face would be saying in an exasperated tone, "I should have known."

If anyone has ideas for new chapters, please tell them to me! I love getting suggestions from people, so don't hesitate. I especially need ideas for books 5, 6, and 7.
