A house has been chosen

Zephyr, Harry, and Ron made their way up the stairs where they and the rest of the students saw a rather tall serious looking woman in green garments and a large black pointed hat.

"Professor McGonagall!" Zephyr thought to himself noticing who it was.

She then spoke up "Welcome to Hogwarts. Now in a few moments, you will pass these doors and join and join your classmates but before you can take a seat you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. And while you are here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points, any rule-breaking and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house rewarded with the most points is awarded the house cup...."

She then suddenly stopped as another voice interrupted "TREVOR!" A young bot called as he ran forward just next to Professor McGonagall and picked up his toad. This got the children to chuckle a little as the boy then said "Sorry." as he returned to the crowd.

"Neville, I feel bad for you truly." Zephyr thought seeing this as he wiped away a tear.

Professor McGonagall then continued to say "The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily." as she walked away.

"It's true then, what they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts. A blonde, stuck-up boy broke the silence. This made the other children continue to whisper about Harry. The boy then said "This is Crab, Goyale and I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy." This introduction made Ron snicker with Draco obviously noticing he retorted "Think my name is funny do you? I don't need to ask for yours, red hair and a hand-me-down robe. You must be a Weasley." He then turned to harry and continued "You will soon find out other wizarding families are better than others Potter, you don't want to go around making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there." As he put his hand out to Harry.

Harry simply stared at it as he then quickly replied with "I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself thanks."

Steps could be heard as Professor McGonagall appears behind Draco tapping him with a scroll, to which Draco intensely stares at Harry before walking away. Professor McGonagall then said "We are ready for you now. Follow me."

The great hall was lit by thousands and thousands of candles which were floating in midair over four long tables, where the rest of the students were sitting. These tables were laid with glittering golden plates and goblets. At the top of the Hall was another long table where the teachers were sitting. Professor McGonagall ordered them into a line and said "Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words."

A tall old man leaned forward, who sat in the middle of the long table the teacher sat, he had long snowy white hair and a flowing beard to match. He then announced, "The forbidden forest is strictly forbidden to all those who do not wish to die a most painful death."

With this, he sat back down as Professor McGonagall took the lead and said "Once you are called come forth and sit down, the sorting hat will then be placed on top of your head to select a house."

She continued to read the list as a familiar name popped up, "Hermione Granger." Zephyr noticed Hermione was taking deep breaths speaking to herself as she sat down.

"Mental that one, I'm telling ya." Ron commented to Zephyr and Harry as they then looked forward to Hermione.

"Ahh~ right then, hmm right~ ok~ Gryffindor!" The hat exclaimed after a few moments of debating.

"A~ I don't get why she is in Gryffindor." Zephyr thought to himself as he shook his head remembering how Hermione usually spent most of her time in books anyway.

A loud Cheer and applause could be heard from the Gryffindor table as Hermione took her seat. Professor McGonagall then read the next name "Draco Malfoy."

Draco made his way forward and he sat down, as Professor McGonagall was about the place the hat on him, it exclaimed "Slytherin!"

As the Slytherin table roared in applause. Then Ron commented "There's not a witch or wizard that hasn't gone bad in Slytherin."

"That wrong," Zephyr was quicky to reply.

And before Ron could reply Professor McGonagall read the next person "Susan Bones."

Then Harry looked to observe the teachers, looking at Professor Snape and Quirrell his scar begins to hurt as he grabs it.

"Harry, you alright?" Ron quickly replied to check up on his mate.

"Nothing. Nothing I'm fine." Harry replied absent mindedly staring at Snape as he continued to rub his scar.

The hat then comes to a decision "I know Hufflepuff!" Once again another house fell into booming cheers and applause for their new house member.

Professor McGonagall looked at the list again and read "Ron Weasley.'

Ron nervously makes his way to the chair as he sits down and the hat is placed. "Ha a Weasley, I know just what to do with you~ Griffindor!"

This made Griffindor go into another round of applause with Ron releasing a sigh as he visibly relaxes.

"A shame, if I had time to study the hat I could have made it so Ron would be in Slytherin, which would be interesting and wouldn't need my intervention to change his bias." Zephyr thought as he too sighed.

The cheers died down as Professor McGonagall read "Harry Potter." This even made Dumbledor lean back in interest.

Harry made his way to the chair slowly as the hat is placed onto him. "Hmm very difficult, very difficult Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind, either. There's talent, oh my goodness, yes – and a nice thirst to prove yourself, now that's interesting … So where shall I put you?" The hat thought to notice Harry.

Harry was whispering to himself as he clutched his fist praying "Not Slytherin, not Slytherin."

"Not Slytherin, eh?" said the hat. "Are you sure? You could be great, you know, it's all here in your head, and Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, no doubt about that – no? Well, if you're sure – better be GRYFFINDOR!" The hat announced.

This made harry have a bright grin plastered on his face as Griffindor once again filled the room with their cheering as Harry made his way to take his seat beside Ron. As he looked to Dumbledor and noticed Dumbledor raise his glass as he toasted to Harry with a wink.

Professor McGonagall then read a few more names before she reached the end and read "Zephyr Vexx."

Zephyr slowly made his way to the hat as he then clicked his finger. Upon doing this everything around him stopped beside him and the hat. "W-what is happening?" The hat asked to itself noticing the surrounding area.

"Not much, just need to study you." Zephyr was quick to reply as a devilish grin appeared on his. He grabbed the hat locking it inside a green magic box as a bunch of magic runes appeared around the box.

"It seems it indeed does detect nascent qualities within someone." Zephyr thought rubbing his chin. "I suppose there's nothing else in contrast to my beliefs, sigh~ I guess I will just erase the hat experience of this moment to the moment it was placed on me." Zephyr thought as the box shined blue before disappearing back on top of Zephyr as time returned to normal.

"Hmm I see, now this is hard." The hat said as it fell into deep thought and then continued "What house do you wish to go into?" the hat asked Zephyr.

"It seems I was right making the hat detect me as having all qualities of the houses present and balanced made the hat unable to choose." Zephyr thought confirming something he had just tested.

"I would like to join..."

A/N: I went with Slytherin although I was thinking about going for Ravenclaw. There was also Gryfindor I was thinking about choosing for the canon but then the mc would not be able to do his own things so went with Slytherin.
