Mind your own! Sorting hat

"Welcome to Hogwarts," She said "The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses." She cast an eye over us.

"The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history ,and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule-breaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the House Cup, a great honour.'Without reward's what's honour ,without valor for your good deeds'

I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours." She paused for another moment. "Try and smarten up, I will collect you momentarily" She disappeared through the door.

The first-years started talking in hushed tones between themselves, before Malfoy decided to break the ice by extending a hand to Harry and babbling about the wrong sorts whilst casting an eye over Ron.

He nearly jumped out of his skin when the ghosts came through the floor. The fat one looked over us. He was about to bow but I sent a mental command for him to not do so. Also to act as he normally does and forget I was here, and to tell the other ghosts aswell . Except peeves.

"New students!" He clapped his ethereal hands together "Hope to see You in Hufflepuff! My old house you know."

Then peeves came in then seen me and bowed.

"What may I do for you milord."

"Continue, as you were."

McGonagall was beyond shocked that peeves was being commanded ,and bowing to a first year. She then sent a inquisitive questioning look at me that said I'll talk with you later. She then chose this moment to come back and chase the ghosts away. Almost smiling, she said "They're ready for You"

She pushed open the doors and strode inside, with a small pack of first-years following.

The Great Hall is a very large room, containing five tables, one for each house and the teachers table. Dumbledore sitting in a large throne like chair looking me down with curiosity eyes, as his mind probe failed. All eyes turned onto us as we walked in, I heard mutterings to the Weasley twins . saying which redheads were theirs this time whilst the hat sang it's welcoming song, drawing a round of applause.

"Abbott, Hannah" McGonagall called out.

A ginger haired girl stumbled forward and sat on the stool, where the hat was placed on her head. A few seconds later the hat had decided.

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

A round of applause flowed through the room as the first student was sorted.

More students were called up, I was looking around the room spotting familiar faces around me, a quick wink at Chloe Turpin left her friends giggling madly.

"Granger, Hermione"

Hermione almost ran for the stool to be sorted, and after almost a full minute

"GRYFFINDOR!" Surprising me somewhat. I guess some things don't change.

The hall cheered for the first new lion.

A few more names were called, I saw Quirrel looking pale at the teacher's table.

"Outsutsuki, itatchi" The entire crowd went dead silent and even the teachers stopped talking and looking at me. Snape was glaring at me but when he tried the same thing as dumbledore

I increased my time perception then let him enter my domain. He woke up inside the pod as it opened. He then looked around for hours getting more impatient, and scared then a wraith came out and slowly heading towards him. He was beyond frightened then tried to look for his wand but he didnt have it. He even tried windless spells but nothing worked, the wraith caught him and then chopped his head off. He woke up in the pod again then I said.

"Sorry about that my father made this for anyone that tries to use mind arts on me, more then once. Dumbledore tried once and was blocked you were the second. Good thing I noticed you here. As this would continue for billions of years, but it will just seem like a second outside. I do not recomend trying again, as each time the mind wraith gets more brutal with his victims." I say before he could respond as I could see him angry. I popped him out of my mind. I could now see him white as a sheet I'm his chair shaking, which didnt go unnoticed. However the teachers kept their mouths shut, as he can be asked later. 'If I didnt do this they would keep trying harder and harder ,like cockroaches.'

My eyes snapped up as I walked confidently towards to stool. The only hitch in this normal move was that the teacher's table was slightly higher than the rest of the hall, only a few inches, but enough to warrant having a step.

The hat fell over my eyes.

"What?" It exclaimed out loud, shocking some of the students and staff.

"IMPOSSIBLE I CANT SEE INTO YOUR MIND!?" It finished.

"Mr. Outsutsuki. I cant believe I have to ask but can you show me some memories, or take down your sheilds?" The hat called inside my head

"Unfortunately not Mr. Hat, but here is some memories" I thought politely (I show him up till the end of the wave mission, but I also showed my thirst for knowledge. Edited a bit of course.)

"Normally this would warrant Slytherin but you did save people and protected them. You did what you could being cunning and courageous. However what you value most is knowledge , and you have plenty of that to seek more is truley commendable and shows your true self." The hat said. It paused for a moment before calling

"RAVENCLAW!" I stood up with a grin.

"If you get spare time, do come back for a chat Mr. Outsutsuki" The headmaster said aloud once McGonagall picked up the hat.

I walked over to the Ravenclaw table and sat beside Chloe, Her friends has decided to make a space for me and promptly started fawning over me. They were very close to me, I would have blushed if I couldn't drain the blood from my face at the same rate it arrived. 'It seems I underestimated itatchis looks, even with the filter it's this powerful. However it does look like it has worked as there is no fanclub, and the girls haven't passed out.'

"Longbottom, Neville"

After only a few seconds it called "GRYFFINDOR!"

The sorting carried on, more people filling up the gaps in the tables.

"Malfoy, Draco" was called out. The hat barely touched his head before

"SLYTHERIN!"

More names were called until there were only a few people unsorted.

"Potter, Harry" This caused all manner of whispers to spread across the room.

"Did she say Harry Potter?"

"Look!, There he is"

"I thought he'd be taller"

The hat was placed on Harry's head

"What!!" But then it calmed down then after a couple of minutes worth of nail biting the hat called out. 'looks like my shields worked but I put a key in there for harry to use if he wants'

"GRYFFINDOR!" The hall erupted into noise

"We got Potter!" I heard the Weasley twins cheering. Along with the rest of Gryffindor, Nobody seemed to surprised that the Boy-Who-Lived was in Gryffindor. Dumbledore was clapping politely.

Harry quickly took his place beside Hermione at the table, Percy leaned over to shake his hand. The next name that was called cleared up the chattering.

"Tonks, Nymphadora" I froze. How could I forget?

A short girl with flat brown hair walked forward taking careful steps as she approached the step. But the step must have been cursed, as she tripped spectacularly, her hair changing through the colours. Another round of applause as she bowed with a grin before settling on spiky pink hair.

Some Ravenclaws realised just how rare just having her in the school was, by having a metamorphagi within their house.

The hat's voice shook us from our thoughts. "RAVENCLAW!"

We all stood up to cheer as Tonks skipped over to the table, taking a seat opposite me. I gave her a grin before we watched ,the sorting of a couple more 'Puffs.

"Turpin, Lisa"

Seconds later "RAVENCLAW!"

"Weasley, Ronald"

He turned red from the attention and slumped on the stool, his sorting was over in less time than Draco's. 'Funny he likes attention ,and gets jealous but I guess not this much'

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Another round of applause as Ron hurried over to the table as Blaise Zabini was sorted into Slytherin.

Dumbledore rose from his chair and cleared his throat, the hall fell silent.

"Welcome, old and new students, to Hogwarts as we welcome another year of learning into our hall, now I shan't hold you a moment more. Dig in" He gestured widely as plates appeared and started to fill with typical Sunday roast food, although enough to feed the school.

"The names Tonks" I hear from across me, along with a hand sticking out.

"Itachi" I return, as I brush my lips over her knuckles.

She grinned at this. Clearly she has alot of control over blood flow.

"I thought I'd get you with that one" Winking at her as I spoke.

Chloe looked on with a bewildered expression, as I grabbed one of the large serving bowls of mashed potatoes and attacked it with a spoon.

"As long as we eat something, we don't need balanced diets." Tonks filled her in whilst scooping from my bowl. When she come back for more I try and fend off her spoon to no avail.

I winked at Chloe, she smacked my arm.

"The youth of today" She muttered to the girl opposite her.

"So Tonks," I begin with my normal mouth. "Found any limits to your morphing?"

She stared blankly at me. "I can make extra body parts but they dont work, if that's what you mean?"

"Sorta, but I was thinking more creative then that." I replied

I got back to eating. "So you've not tried claws or wings?"

Her eyes widened as she shook her head.

"Oh this will be such fun, the ideas, possibilities but we can get to that tomorrow." I grin

. "You could be so cute with some kitten ear and a tail.Maybe in a few year and a broom cupboard this could be more fun" I wink at her, this one gets her to blush.

I realise that most of the people were looking at me as if I'm crazy.

"What?" I asked

"Metamorphs are only supposed to be able to morph into humans, everyone knows that!" A fifth-year supplied.

"Well no one was clearly inventive or creative. just you watch by the end of this week ,I'll make sure of it."I quipped back

"Well this will be an interesting year" tonks said "I'll be good just for you" I replied

I start eating other dessert foods. I am really hungry as my body is still adjusting to the DNA change. There is an endless supply of food, why wouldn't I eat a bit of everything?

Tonks squeals in front of me, my eyes dart up to her head. She has a pair of cat ears.

"Brilliant, but do they work?" I praise

"You mean you think I can get them to work?" A girl wailed from beside Tonks before she could answer

"Yes, and they are a fair bit more sensitive that human ears, I'll have to give you a book on their biology though that ought to help"

She claps her hands in excitement.

"Thank you for the inspiration, and the gesture. " she muttered while blushing

"No problem"

It slowly dawned on me that I haven't tried partial animagus transfiguration, as it would be cool to have dragon wings while in human form.

I begin changing the hairs on my right arm into scales under my shirt, making them black scales is simple enough. Shifting them about to they completely cover my skin isn't too hard.

I work the scales up towards my shoulder, flexing it to make sure the scales are still separate things, it wouldn't do to have my arm stuck. I can feel it spreading along my shoulder and the super fine scales forming.

I change my teeth then ill put it back so none sees when I'm eating, I then experimen with a forked tongue.

Dumbledore cleared his throat, causing the food to disappear, I quickly snapped the scales away.

"And thus ends the welcoming feast! A few quick notices, Our Caretaker Mr. Filch has asked me to remind you that there is to be no magic in the hall ways and that all items from Zonkos Joke shop are strictly prohibited" He said with a small smile as his eyes lingered on the Weasley twins." Also, the third floor is out of bounds for those who do not wish to die ,a most painful death."He paused for moment, looking over the students.

"First-years please follow your prefects, in an orderly fashion to your towers. Except mr. outsutsuki id like to have a word. And finally a few words from me" His smiling growing a fraction.

"Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak."

I alone clapped as everyone else was either shocked, or in awe of the aged wizard. Dumbledore gave me a curt nod as the students rose up to leave. As everyone was gone it was only me Dumbledore and snape. I walk up to them and ask.

"So what do you want, surely it can't be about using legilimens on a student, as that's illegal to begin with." I say with a sly grin

" Why you little-" says snape with a infuriated expression. "Enough!!" Dumbledore says using magic aura but it doesnt effect me.

"I just wanted to inform you, that we mean you and your father no I'll will. The purpose is how your father is able to make mental defenses on others, and yourself. As I have seen a mind shield on harry and that's impossible, as he was raised by muggles. Your father hasn't been seen within either ,so that just leaves you. I also want to know your intentions of doing so ,as I doubt it's just out of good will."

Dumbledore says

"Firstly family secret method I'm sure you would understand. As for harry well he's famous and my father has investigated this thoroughly. He is raised by horrible people, that belong seales in a necronomicon. Secondly his fame is mostly lies, as he doesnt deserve the evil that will come to him due to said fame. I felt duty upon myself to at least protect him with my most meager shield, I could make I didnt do anything fancy. It should protect him from moldywarts and any others that have and bad intent or plot for him."

Dumbledores face goes into anger for a split second, but hides it. Snape has a smile for a split moment before hiding behind a snear.

"As I'm sure you have positive intent for doing so. I need to see in his mind for safety precaution ,to help him and the other school students. So is there anyway you could help this old man with his simple request, to help the poor boy. As I do feel like hes a grandchild to me."

"If that was the case then you would have stopped your boyfriend from causing havoc earlier. Then letting him terrorize the world, also the shields will let anyone read his mind. As long as ,they dont have any I'll will or intent for him. Even past grudges on parents would activate the defenses." As I say this Dumbledore is shellshockes then angry. Snape is happy but it turns to ashen anger as he has the last part. I dont let them speak thou as I disappear using my ghost powers, leaving two surprised angry older men on my wake.
