Sorting

The question pondered his head quite a lot, and soon he began devising a plan. It was stupid, reckless and most definitely dumb, but it was a plan.

With his mind set on he began to focus his mutation around his brain, building up energy just for when the plan were to be enacted.

After they arrived from the boats they headed towards the main door of hogwarts where Hagrid told them to wait for Mcgonagall, it took her a bit and from what he understood most boys and girls were nervous, some thought that they would have to fight a troll from what the Weasley twin said, while others thought that they might have to do something even more drastic.

The door finally opened and McGonagall came out explaining that they needed to form a line of four and told them to wait a bit.

In the meantime Connor kept feeding his power to his brain, and he could feel his brain start to hurt like hell so he stored it all there, keeping his head full of energy.

Finally McGonagall called them to enter the room and so they did, the Great hall was an amazing piece of magic enchanted for the ceiling to show the sky as Hermionie well said.

They all stood in front of the witch and the magical hat as it began with its song

"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 than 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 Gryffindor,

Where dwell the 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!"

After singing the sorting ceremony started as students began to be sorted and luckly for him he was one of the last ones

"Connor Reign" Mcgonagall called out as Connor when up and the hat sat on his head.

And then he executed the plan.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The hat, whose name was unknown to any of this time, had always been able to see into people minds, maybe there were some defenses or locks around memories so it tried to avoid them but as soon as it was put into young Connor's head it couldn't see anything, well to be more precise it could only see red.

Everything from above to below everything was just red.

It was terrifying to the hat so he spoke in the young man's head.

"Could you let me see inside your head kid, I have a job to do you know?" He said albeit grumbley

—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Connor was glad his defenses worked, more than glad he was elated so he tried to project some words into his mind the house he wanted to be in more specifically.

Suddenly the hat yelled "Hufflepuff"

The hufflepuff table burst into applause and Connor could definitely see Cedric looking at him a little triumphant as he got sorted into his house.

Connor walked towards the table intended to sit next to the first years but Cedric stopped him and made room for him.

"Already gonna leave me just after coming into my house, you sure are a heartbreaker" Cedric said teasing him once again

Connor faked laugh "You are so funny"

"Hey I have you know that I am but sit really, the ceremony has yet to finish."

AN: Sorry for the short chapter but I didn't want to leave you on a cliffhanger going to put some more effort into this as we have finally arrived at hogwarts
