"Well done, Ron, excellent," said Percy Weasley Pompously across Harry as "Zabini, Blaise," was made a Slytherin. There was only one person left in the hall. It was the small blonde girl Harry had seen on the train. He wondered what it must feel like to be the last one standing there all alone.

"Potter, Amelia."

Whispers broke out among the students.

"Potter? It can't be!"

"This has to be some kind of joke."

Amelia wasn't used to going by Potter but she was going to have to get used to it quickly. She straightened herself up and walked past the hall of students and up to the stool where she sat down. The hat was placed over her head covering her eyes and even going past her nose. A voice spoke in her ear.

"Mmm interesting every interesting. We haven't had one like you in many years. Now where should I put you?"

"You're the sorting hat shouldn't you know?" Amelia asked out loud. The whole hall was filled with laughter which was quickly silenced by Professor McGonagall.

"Your heart is almost as big as your head." Amelia was insulted by this. Sure she knew some stuff but she would never say she was smart not Ravenclaw smart at least. The hat could have just called her heartless and stupid if it wanted. She was sure that would be more accurate.

"Brave yes very brave."

"But I'm not brave," Amelia said out loud. If the hat could talk out to the school then she was going to as well.

"There is a difference between doing something when you are scared becouse it is right and doing something because you are not afraid. You are brave!"Amelia shut up. She wasn't about to get into a row with a shouting hat especially one that could read her thoughts.

"Ambitious very ambitious. You have big plans very big for this world. Hmmm hard choice very hard."

Ten minutes had gone by and the hat had said no more still thinking about where to place Amelia.

Then it spoke.

"Well, I think it would be best if you-"
