Chapter 10: sorting ceremony part-3
Andrew and others followed McGonagall in two rows. They moved to the front of the podium and stopped there while McGonagall stood beside the sorting hat. It suddenly torn a hole and started singing like a mouth. And the song is a little disgusting.
"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 folks 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!".
Andrew looked at the sorting hat with interest. He activated mana sight once again and looked at the hat. It's really a good artifact, so many runes and so much magic radiating from it. He can also see a sword hilt that's ready to be out anytime from a spatial pocket which interested him more.
Andrew deactivated the mana sight again while Cassandra on the side asked," why do you and headmaster have those shining eyes? Whenever those eyes look at me I feel creeps on my body. What do those eyes do?".
Andrew shook his head and said," I don't know what they do exactly. I only see coloured particles around me when they're activated but I have no control over it ", Cassandra raised an eyebrow. She didn't say anything more. McGonagall straightened the parchment and said," those names that I call will move forward and sit here. The sorting hat will sort you into your suitable house ".
Hannah Abbot.
A timid girl who is lean goes to the podium and the hat after placed on her yelled," Hufflepuff ", she smiled and goes to the Hufflepuff table that's applauding. Then another name appeared," Hermione Granger ".
Hermione moved to the podium while muttering herself to relax and after the sorting hat is placed it took a couple of minutes before yelling," Griffyndoor ", hermione smiled and ran to the Griffyndoor amidst the applause. After that Draco and others.
Then few names appeared then it's Ronald Weasley. It yelled," hah another Weasley. Griffyndoor ", Ronald sighed and immediately goes to the Griffyndoor table. McGonagall then called the name that made the great hall silent," Helen Potter ".
Yes it's the famous saviour. The hat took more than 10 minutes and then sorted her into Griffyndoor. Oh well what can he say? Atleast this time there is no facade of the saviour denying Slytherin. Then his name is called," Andrew Peverall ".
Slytherin table instantly became quiet along with some of the Ravenclaw and Griffyndoor tables. As for Hufflepuff some of them stopped what they're doing and looked at Andrew who walked gracefully to the podium. McGonagall placed the hat on him and he sat like a noble with etiquette.
His veela bloodline is at it's full work this entire time making some of the girls stare at him with a blush. The sorting hat voice sounded meanwhile," hmm interesting. Very intresting. A descendant of Peverall and Slytherin houses. With your lineage alone you're suitable for going to Slytherin. Don't you agree? ".
The sorting hat then exclaimed," how do you know about that sword? No I didn't injure any student with that. You want to try and see if you can draw it out. Dream on, it's been decades since the sword appeared again. You don't believe me. Okay then try it boy ".
Andrew suddenly out his hand into the hat and pulled out the sword of Griffyndoor making everyone dumbfounded. First years all screamed," there is a sword in that hat. We would've died ", the sorting hat jumped up and down," okay don't mock me. You want to go to Slytherin right. SLYTHERIN, there now give that sword back to the professor and go away kid ".
Andrew gave sword and hat back to McGonagall who is in a daze and goes to Slytherin table who applauded him. Snape felt something troublesome is going to appear in Slytherin house and cursed Dumbledore for not reminding him about a Slytherin and Peverall descendant.
