The Malfoy boy and the Potter girl

Crazy sorting hat, insane Potter

I don't actually know what happened to Harry and Ron after that, but I'm pretty sure they made it to the great hall.

Professor  McGonagall led me into a bathroom, and handed me some robes to change into. "Put these on quickly dear, we have to get you to the great hall before the sorting is over." 

I put the robes on and she led me down a long narrow hallway, to a great set of giant oak doors. She pushed them wide open and stepped inside me following close behind her.

Everyone was looking at us as we entered. I saw four tables, each draped in different colors, at the front was a stage, and what I'm assuming is the staff, who sat at a long table, where Dumbledore stood at a platform for announcements. There  was a boy about my age sitting up at the front, on a stool, with a rather funny looking hat in his head.

Oh! I realized that's the sorting hat! As this registered I started to get nervous. What if I didn't get put in the same house as Harry? 

"And last but not least, Skylar Potter!" Everyone started whispering as they heard the name, and I made the long walk up to the sorting hat. 

I sat down and immediately as the hat was placed on my head it started speaking.

"Oh ho what have we here? Another Potter? Yes you are very much like your brother, very much indeed. Beautiful like your mother, scandalous like your father. You will get into a lot of fun trouble you will. Ahh I see you are very ambitious. Despite your upbringing you have always had high hopes for your future. But brave as well! Yes you would always do something for anyone, no matter what the danger. A born leader. You want people to follow you, so that you can do the right thing. You will do anything to get this, use the most cunning of ways. You have a nice thirst to prove yourself, but to also to stay kind. Cunning, leadership, ambition, kindness, bravery, and courage. What will we do with you?"

It thought for a moment before saying, "Never in my years at Hogwarts have I done this. But for you little one, I think it's the best way. SLYTHERIN AND GRYFFINDOR!!!!!

 The room went silent, and I just sat there stunned. Slytherin and  Gryffindor? Such a thing was unheard of! I must have misunderstood, or heard wrong or something! As the hat was taken off my head it started talking more "Wait, let me explain. I was not aware this concept would be so hard do grasp. This young lady is not spilt down the middle. She simply has two houses. She has access to both common rooms, both dorms, and both quidditch teams. At each meal she can choose which table she would like to sit at, and each night she can choose which one she would like to sleep in. She can play to whichever quidditch team she wants, though in most futures I see she finds a way to play for both. Oh and she will attend classes with the second years. Good luck little one." And with that it was hulled off. 

I couldn't believe this was real. It was too hard to believe, but I knew I wasn't dreaming. The room was still silent, and I felt a boney hand on my back, as I looked up to see Professor MaConagal standing beside me. She gestured over to two tables, one draped in red and gold, and the other in silver and green. "Choose which table you would like to sit at dear." 

Suddenly someone shouted "Yeah Potter!" And both tables started clapping and whistling. I looked to the green table to see the blond boy from the book shop, who was smirking and clapping, then over to the red table to see Harry, Hermione, and the Weasley's (Ginny had apparently been sorted already). So I ran straight into my brothers outstretched arms. 

"It's going to be ok. This doesn't make you any less of my sister." He whispered and let me tell you, the gratefulness I felt toward him at that moment! 

"Slytherdor!" Ron exclaimed, earning an elbow to his ribs by Hermione. "That was crazy Skylar!" Fred exclaimed. (I think it was Fred) "Yes," agreed Hermione "That has never once happened before. I mean never, this is Profound!" Harry grabbed my hand under the table and squeezed it three times, which is our signal for everything's going to be ok  "Then again there's never been a first year taking classes with second years, has there?" Ron laughed.

Everyone seemed surprisingly ok with me being in two houses. I looked over to the Slytherin table, where I saw dozens of faces smiling at me, including the smirking blonde boy, who held his head high as he made eye contact, as if he knew something I didn't. 

I was grateful for four things that night. One, I was finally out of privet drive. Two, the people from both houses excepted me. Three, my brother still loved me. And four, FOOD!!! 

Let me tell you the feast was amazing. There was still something eating at me though. If I was the first two get two houses, what else would I be the first of? And.....possibly the last of?
