That might be one of the most painful song attempts I've ever listened to, the voice of the hat did not compliment the song any, it was like listening to a grandma's attempt at rapping.
I'm pretty sure that the applause was for the fact that it was over. I mean, I'm exaggerating, sure, but that doesn't change the fact that it was not that good at all.
After a moment after all the clapping had calmed the fuck down, that most of the people around me were a lot more relieved than I thought they would be.
I guess knowing what the thing to sort your house actually is takes away from all the tension about wondering if you can pull it off or not.
After another moment the sorting came to start as the first couple kids started going up to the hat.
With all of them getting the same results that I remembered from the books, though I was mildly concerned about what the hat would do with me under it, passive mind reading isn't really something that should come in contact with my mind.
"Grey, Alex!"
Well, I guess I don't exactly have time to think on it, walking forwards at my own pace, which compared to the almost rushed pace that the others had approached the hat seemed to be slow in contrast.
Picking up the hat, I looked at it for a moment, wondering about all the things that probably went into making it before setting it on my head and sitting down on the stool.
'Oh, what the hell. Well I can say I wasn't expecting a God to be under my hat brim any time soon,' God? Well I guess I kind of am in a different way that most would think about it.
I mean I do know the future and another version of me is controlling this entire plane of reality but I feel like that's a bit egotistical to think that of myself.
'Well while that might be true it doesn't change what you are. Now while I do wish to have some more time to analyze this interesting mind of yours, I do have a job to do, no matter who it is, I am to sort them.'
Right mind reading, I should make sure to look into Occlumency soon, anyway, I don't exactly have a preference, mostly because I don't care but I'm sure you can understand why one house might be a bit of a danger zone for me.
'Well, we'll just have to see won't we? Now let me take a look. From just your personality, Hufflepuff is out of the question right away. Gryffindor? Well you are quite brave and courageous but you hardly value those traits now do you.'
'Next, Ravenclaw, Well you're most certainly smart enough for the house, your mind is practically a self solving puzzle after all, and while you do value intelligence a lot, you're selfish in not wanting to naturally share that knowledge.'
'With all that in mind, last is Slytherin, and I must say, even with you protest you highly embody all of Slytherin's traits, cunning, ambitious, and I highly doubt you would let anything stop you from getting want you want if you set your mind to it. Sorry to say, my lord, but your house is-'
"SLYTHERIN!"
Unfortunate but not unexpected to be honest, well then, with that I pulled the hat off my head and dropped it back down on the seat before making my way over towards the Slytherin table, to which I was getting a lukewarm acceptance at best.
A few claps but it was clear none of them wanted a muggleborn in their house. I knew it would have been a wash if I tried to convince the hat otherwise, me trying to trick and manipulate the hat into putting me in another house would have just confirmed that I should go here.
Though as I sat down at the end, while noting that everyone was giving me side eye looks, before the next person was called up, though that didn't change the fact that the eyes came back very often, like I was a rabbit that accidentally found its way into the snake pit.
How laughable, this wasn't exactly my first choice but if these idiots think I'm prey then they're going to have a bad time.
Though, no one could do anything to me for now though, it was the start of the year with everyone in the same location. Only an idiot would do anything dangerous here.
So I just watched the sorting with a bored expression on my face which I also used to match the glares that were sent my way.
It was a mild power move, showing that everyone here is nowhere near scary enough for me to be anything but bored, but that was just something to keep myself focused on while I thought about the other thing the sorting hat said.
'Am I a God?' I guess on a technicality side of things, yeah. I have a very limited sense of Omniscience and I used to be able to control realities from just my whims alone.
But I don't have that power anymore so does that really count? Really I guess it comes down to what one thinks a God is counted as, and as someone who doesn't believe in any religion.
I have no idea as to how to answer that question, really, I don't care much for an answer to be honest, it's just a neat term I can use to feel better about myself.
I'll have to think about it later, if I still care, because the food has just appeared and I'm just realizing that I haven't eaten anything in a few hours.
So with that I moved to grab a plate and start filling the plate up with different items, I didn't flood the plate with stuff but I did pick out a bit more than I actually think I'll be able to eat.
Though I was disgusted by the overwhelmingly sweet taste from whatever was in my cup, I nearly spat it out.
