11. A hat that reads your mind?

We arrived at the entrance were a huge door opened and waiting for us was the Deputy Headmistress

"The firs'-years, Professor McGonagall" said Hagrid

"Thank you i will take it from here" she responded

Then she looked at us "The opening Banquet is about to start but before that you are about to be Sorted, This is important because while you're here the houses are akin to your family.

The four Houses each have their noble history and has produced amazing wizards and witches. The four Houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

The Sorting is about to start so try to get presentable" she finished looking at Neville and the a ginger boy that had his nose dirty

Then you won't believe this we met Ghosts, like actually pale pearly-white and slightly transparent Ghosts, they tried to boast about their houses but McGonagall came back and got us to a huge room, then i saw the ceiling and the only thing that came out my mouth was a "Wow" it looked like a beautiful Night sky with brilliant stars

Then i heard a huff from Daphne that apparently shut down Hermione that was about to say something.

McGonagall suddenly placed a little stool where she put a ridiculous Wizard Hat

"Oh you may not believe I'm pretty…"

After ignoring that awful song from what appears a sentient Hat, Professor McGonagall reads from a list and says "Abbot, Hannah"

and a girl passes and Puts on the Hat, after like 30 seconds the hat yells "HUFFLEPUFF"

and the students from the yellow table started clapping.

Wait so not only a Sentient Hat but a Mind reading one!? I started to get nervous and students started going (Greengrass went to Ravenclaw and Granger to Gryffindor) till I finally hear "Jones Jack"

I acting like i wasn't nervous stepped up and sat on the stool and i felt when the Hat fell on my head

"Hmmm, Hard, you're very Hard, which honestly isn't surprising since most of you are way more smart than your supposed to, but still, you were not wrong you could fit in all Houses and you'll fit like a snitch in the hand of the seeker"('what's a snitch') the hat hums a little "Child you have a very organized mind almost to an impossible level, oh don't worry i can't reveal anything, that was my base enchantment, you would not believe how many nobles would reject their children education if that wasn't the case a thousand years ago"

There's has been almost two minutes and he hasn't made his choice "you know what, do you have an opinion?" He asks "Yes, Gryffindor please" then the Hats says for a last time "Ok, i will take your choice but before that i want to give you an advice, if you really want to become the perfect being don't Forget the other characteristics, cause they will help you in GRYFFINDOR" he yells at the end.

I walked to the Gryffindor table and make space for when Harry comes and do a small talk with Granger, the next one to come to Gryffindor is Neville who's Last name is apparently Longbottom 'Poor kid'

and then suddenly i hear "Potter, Harry"

and as Harry steps up i can hear the whispers

"That's Harry Potter?"

"Where are his glasses?"

"He doesn't have the scar!"

Even the teachers looked surprised that he's not the same as the character from the fiction books that has been written for little kids

After like 50 seconds the Hat yells "GRYFFINDOR"

And the table starts to loudly clap and some even whistle i can hear someone yelling "WE GOT POTTER!"

but Harry ignores all this and comes straight to the seat I've been keeping

"Thanks mate" he says

"You're welcome"

Then the last students got sorted (including a ginger that apparently was named Weasley)

And after everyone got sorted Dumbledore standed up and says "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts before we begin the banquet i would like to say a few words Nitwit! Blubber! Odd-ment! Tweak!, Thank you" and sits down.

Everyone clapped and cheered 'is he mad?'

Harry ask a prefect close to him "Is he mad?"

'Ha great minds think alike' then i mutter "With that fashion sense i don't doubt it"

Harry and a couple of Redhead twins that heard me snorted, Hermione looked offended and Neville looked like he wanted to laugh

Finally we started eating, we got visited by a nearly beheaded ghost and after we finished eating, the Headmaster stands up again and started giving notices that i was completely ignoring 'Forbidden, Ha as if anything is forbidden' but the he suddenly ends with the third floor corridor is forbidden for everyone that doesn't wish a painful death.

We sang a horrible song that was so out of sync that the creator of it would kill himself if he heard it

Then finally the prefects guide us through moving stairs that apparently are random in their movement 'which sounds like the worst idea ever' a pranking ghost and talking portraits… like why would you want a peeping portraits, ever?

Finally we arrived to the Gryffindor "Common room" passing through another portrait this one with a password, and who in their right mind would put "Caput Draconis" as a Password?

Percy 'the prefect' guides the girls to their dormitory then us, and finally i can fall sleep
