Chapter 4: The Sorting
Great Hall
As they walked through the hall Draco and Neville explained a few things about the ceiling to Harry and Hermione. When they came to a stop in front of head table all talking was silenced by McGonagall who stood to the side of a stool with a hat sitting on it. Everything was quite for a moment before a rip appeared around the brim of the hat. From the rip a voice 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 can find
A smarter hat that me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindor 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,
This 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!"
The hall cheered loudly and the hat gave a small now. "When I call your name step forward." McGonagall said loudly.
(A/N: I am not go through the sorting forever characters, just the more interesting ones.)

Black, Draco - Draco sat on the stool calmly but also a bit nervously. "(How interesting another son Lord Hephaestus I know the best place for you)." The hat said with confidence. "Hufflepuff!"

She then heard the hat within her mind ask, "What an interesting a girl you are with such a thirst for knowledge that would make Rowena smile. But you have the bravery that any hero would need. So where to put you the house of brain or the house of heroes? Which of these houses suit you the best?" The hat deliberated for a few seconds then shouted, "RAVENCLAW!" The house in blue and gold cheered at this.

Potter, Harry was called out and Harry walked forward hearing murmurs from the other students but he didn't pay attention. He sat in the stool and put the hat on his head. "(How interesting a child of Sky has come to Hogwarts, where to put you)?" The hat asked itself.
'Somewhere interesting with a good view of the sky and someplace to have fun.' thought Harry happily.
"(I know just the place to put you). GRYFFINDOR!" shouted the hat which caused the red and gold house to cheer loudly, Harry handed the hat back to McGonagall and head to the table.

When everyone had been seated Dumbledore stood up and addressed the school. "Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words." Dumbledore said cheerfully.
"Since you said them already can we eat!" Harry yelled in a joking tone.
The hall was surprised and little stunned by hearing this, that was until Dumbledore smiled and started laughing. "Ah so much like James." Dumbledore said with a sad smile. "I was going to say Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!" Dumbledore said as the hall began to clap. "Thank you, now I believe we are all hungry let the banquet begin." Dumbledore said to the delight of many people. Dumbledore sat down and pulled out an urn and burnt some offerings to his mother. Dumbledore then looked around and saw that they were making offering as well. He looked at Harry and smiled.
Harry pulled some food on his plate and opened urn or as he liked to call it a mini fire pit. Some of the Purebloods recognized this and tried to listen closely to who Harry offered some of his food too. Harry smiled and whispered silently knowing that even if he whispered his father name he would still hear it. "Done if the offering now it's time to eat." Harry said cheerfully.
"So who is your Godly parent?" Lavender Brown asked curiously.
Harry looked at the head table wondering what he would say. Dumbledore stood up again and said, "I am sorry to interrupt your dinning but as many of your first years that come from non-magical homes might have seen a few students taking out an urn and outing some food into it. This is because we are what the Ancient Greeks called Demigods. We have one mortal parent and one godly parent, I myself am a son of Athena." He let the information sink then continued by saying, "For those Demigods that wish to tell who their godly parent it is up to them, I ask that you all respect the Demigod if they decided to or deiced not to tell you who his or her godly parent is. As for those of you who have been raised in the non-magical world I can understand that it is hard to find out that what you have just been told, but please ask older students and speak with the Demigods themselves to learn more about the Demigods themselves and their godly parent." Dumbledore thanked everyone and let them get back to eating.
"Sorry if I was being rude I was just wondering." Lavender said in a apologetic tone.
"Don't worry I may tell people who my Godly parent is later once I get too know everyone better." Harry said calmly.
"Is it true most Demigods have some kind of flaw?" A red head boy asked nonchalantly.
"Ron that is very rude." A boy said with a hint of anger. He turned to Harry and in an embarrassed tone said, "Let me apologize for my brother."
Harry waved it off and said, "If we do we do, if we don't we don't. Besides even if I knew about any Fatal Flaw, I would not tell someone who could use it against me or one of my allies."
Two identical boys leaned closer and one of them starting saying, "That is a good and smart idea - "
"- are you sure -" The second continued.
"- you are in the right house?" The both finished together.
"Fred and George they are my younger brothers and it would also be a good idea never take anything the offer you." The boy said with a shudder.
"We only gave you bogey flavored Bertie Botts once Percy." Feed said defensively.
"No you give me bogey flavored at least ten times with another ten being either vomit or dog food. At least you didn't to me what you did Ron to make him afraid of spiders." Percy said the last part in a low and angry tone.
Harry looked and Ron and said, "I have some friends that have the same problem back at the camp that I go to during the summer." Harry then looked at Fred and George and began to make plans to bring Ron some justice. 'What would the Stoll twins do?' Harry asked himself. He thought about it for a few moments before an idea came to him and a smile appeared on his face. All he had to do was finding something nasty then slip into the twin's dorm room after they went to sleep. When the feast was finished Dumbledore lead the school in song before sending them off to bed.

Gryffindor Tower, Hogwarts
The next morning a loud scream was heard throughout the Gryffindor Tower. All of the third year boys came running down the stairs holding their noses. A few moments later Professor McGonagall came into find out what was going on. A few moments later she like everyone else covered her nose. It took her some time but she found that the smell was coming from Fred and George Weasley. "Percy get your brothers out of here they reek." McGonagall said before running out of the room to get away from the smell.
As they two were dragged out Harry smiled a little knowing the justice had been handed out to the guilty. "Well now that is over why don't we go get something to eat I am hungry." Harry said nonchalantly. What no one not even they twins knew was at that moment justice had come to Hogwarts to right the wrongs that infested the school.

Mount Olympus
"If I didn't know better I would have said he was either one of my children or somehow related to Nemesis." Hermes said in a snarky tone. A few other gods nodded in agreement.
Zeus didn't say anything because he felt a nervous chill run down his spine. "What is wrong husband?" Hera asked in a low tone.
"I worry what Harry's devotion to justice might be his fatal flaw." Zeus said in a low tone.
"Let us hope you are wrong husband." Hera said in low tone. Zeus looked at Hera and smiled a little.
"Not that seeing that wasn't interesting but I do have a job, with your permission I take my leave." Hermes said calmly. Zeus nodded and headed out of Olympus with a smile. 'That kid is good.' Hermes thought cheerfully as he went back to work.
A/N: Sorry for the long wait many things have popped up. I hope you all enjoy this story and as always read and review.
