Headmaster
|
The Professor and the young first years walk in the side entrance of the Great Hall as the rest of the hall watchs them. They all are awaiting the famous ceremony that takes place at the beginning of every academic year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Everyone in the hall was silent, awaiting the ceremony, except for a few of the first years that were muttering to themselves nervously. It was a common sight, as some of them were muggleborn (or even half-blood sometimes) and still did not know how they were to be sorted. The group had arrived to the front of the hall, next to a small wooden stool, and the Professor stopped them there. She produced a raggity-looking hat, looking as if it had been around for years. It did, indeed, had been around for many, many years. She placed it down upon the stool and looked up at the Headmaster. The Headmaster stood up at this point and addressed the school, "Welcome everyone, to another great year at Hogwarts. I hope you all enjoy yourselves this year and create many wondrous memories. The Sorting Ceremony shall now commence so we are able to make some new friends in each house." He looked down at the Professor and nodded his head. She looked back at the school, and then at the first years and said, "When I call your name, you shall sit on the stool and put the hat upon your head. Once it has chosen a House for you, you shall go sit with the rest of them. Your house will be like a family to you throughout your years here at Hogwarts. Let us begin." She took out a scroll and now waited, looking at the hat. The first years were taken aback, as they had been focusing on the Professor, when a seam on the hat burst open and it started singing loudly throughout the grande hall. |

Don't Judge on What You See

The Sorting Hat was placed onto the stool and waited for a second, for dramatic effect. After what it thought was long enough, a seam broke open near the bottom of the hat and a loud voice boomed out of the hat into the hall, "Welcome back, one and all For it’s been far too long And here are some first years Wondering where they belong Let me introduce myself To those who do not know For I’m the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I put on quite a show All I need is for you to put me on And listen to what I say I’ve never been wrong (or so I hear) So give me the light of day Be not afraid little ones And cease your little chat Listen to me, and I shall sort you For I’m a Sorting Hat You might belong to Gryffindor Where there’s bravery at its best Their courage (some call audacity) Shall never take a rest Or you might dwell in Hufflepuff Where all the hard workers stay They mostly are impartial Keeping unfair judgment at bay Or maybe in witty Ravenclaw Where those who love to learn Hold their stay in this House And work to receive their earn Lastly there is old Slytherin Where your real friends are made Sticking to their beliefs, They are difficult to dissuade So try me on, don’t be afraid! And I will do my best No need to worry (for those who do) From now on you’re with the rest!" |
