The Sorting Hat; Come one, come all! Time to get sorted!

The Sorting Hat

The Sorting Hat is a sentient Hogwarts artifact which magically determines to which of the four school Houses each new student is to be assigned. These four Houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.



In times of old, when I was new,
And Hogwarts barely started,
The founders of our noble school
Thought never to be parted.

United by a common goal,
They had the selfsame yearning
To make the world's best magic school
And pass along their learning.

"Together we will build and teach"
The four good friends decided.
And never did they dream that they
Might some day be divided.

For were there such friends anywhere
As Slytherin and Gryffindor?
Unless it was the second pair
Of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw,

So how could it have gone so wrong?
How could such friendships fail?
Why, I was there, so I can tell
The whole sad, sorry tale.

Said Slytherin, "We'll teach just those
Whose ancestry's purest."
Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach those whose
Intelligence is surest."

Said Gryffindor, "We'll teach all those
With brave deeds to their name."
Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot
And treat them just the same."

These differences caused little strife
When first they came to light.
For each of the four founders had
A house in which they might

Take only those they wanted, so,
For instance, Slytherin
Took only pure-blood wizards
Of great cunning just like him.

And only those of sharpest mind
Were taught by Ravenclaw
While the bravest and the boldest
Went to daring Gryffindor.


Good Hufflepuff, she took the rest
and taught them all she knew,
Thus, the houses and their founders
Maintained friendships firm and true.

So Hogwarts worked in harmony
for several happy years,
but then discord crept among us
feeding on our faults and fears.

The Houses that, like pillars four
had once held up our school
now turned upon each other and
divided, sought to rule.

And for a while it seemed the school
must meet an early end.
what with dueling and with fighting
and the clash of friend on friend.

And at last there came a morning
when old Slytherin departed
and though the fighting then died out
he left us quite downhearted.

And never since the founders four
were whittled down to three
have the Houses been united
as they once were meant to be.

And now the Sorting Hat is here
and you all know the score:
I sort you into Houses
because that is what I'm for.

But this year I'll go further,
listen closely to my song:
though condemned I am to split you
still I worry that it's wrong,

Though I must fulfill my duty
and must quarter every year
still I wonder whether sorting
may not bring the end I fear.

Oh, know the perils, read the signs,
the warning history shows,
for our Hogwarts is in danger
from external, deadly foes

And we must unite inside her
or we'll crumble from within
I have told you, I have warned you...
let the Sorting now begin.


To be sorted into your House by the Sorting Hat, please reply in this thread with the following information:

The Sorting Hat
 
Hello! Welcome to Hogwarts, please tell me anything about you that you think I will find useful in choosing your house.



*Note: The Sorting Hat WILL NOT sort you into Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin if you ask. You must be completely honest with your sorting information, or the Sorting Hat might just sort you into the opposite house that you want.

Loyal to my friends and family, I love them to pieces! Hate fighting and arguments. Relatively intelligent, did really well in my exams. Attempt to take on whatever life throws at me. Don't like to let people down.

I love to read and listen to music. I'm loyal to my friends. I will never break a promise without a good reason. I'm great at lies, you can't tell if I'm lying or telling the truth. I do deceive others to get my way at times. I love learning new things and won't take for granted learning. I am writing a book right now and hope to get it published soon. I can be lazy at times but when I do work, I don't stop until it's done. I would prefer reading about adventures rather than taking one although I would find it a bit fun. I can be big headed and stubborn but will budge if convinced. I would pick up any history book and sit down to read it. I'm always finding ways to better myself and others. Like I said, learning new things I find fun and I try to learn something new everyday. I am tough and people sometimes say that I don't have a heart, but it's buried deep and when you do find it, I'm a total sweetheart. Hurt or insult my friends in anyway and you won't live to see a new day. I don't care what others think of me. I know this is long, but you need to know all this in order to sort me into a house.

I am extremely loyal, and never will turn down a chance to help a friend. A bit lazy on homework, but I still get the grades I like. I love reading, drawing, and playing video games. Not much a sports person.

I'm a friendly yet easy-go-lucky person. I love mathematics. I am loyal to my friends especially to my best friends. I don't like to be with those people who will bring me down. I love my family, my friends and myself. I am prank yet kind-hearted. I am not into fight but if its the right thing to do, I'll do it. I am not shy, I am active. I'm fun of reading books, slightly internet surfing and hanging out with my friends. ^_^ This is all. . . :)
