Chapter 18 - 18- an interesting conversation with a hat

Third's pov

Just as the sorting hat finished to sort Parvati into Gryffindor, the moment everyone have been waiting for arrived, yet it felt like professor McGonagle suddenly started speaking in slow motion. Poootteeeer Haaaarryyyyyy, so it wasn't a surprise when one of the braver yet dumber kids shouted "don't you mean Marcus?" "20 points from Gryffindor, and please be quiet mr. McLaggen" as Harry went to the stool, everyone whispered around him, "who is he?" "Is he related to the boy who lived?" "Why didn't we heard about him?" Harry could hear all the whispers when he decided to talk about anything important in the great hall if he didn't want the teachers to know about it. But as he put the hat on, it suddenly became quite, than he could hear the hat speak: Hmm, difficult. VERY difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. What the f.u.c.k? Who are you? Why can't I see more than two blurry futures of you?" "Wait, you don't look into minds? That's a relief." "Of course I don't look into minds, did you think as a person everyone had only one definitive character in them? I choose by seeing five years in advance or seven if it's really hard and look for the house with the best outcome, it might not tell me everything, but it does help me choose." "So why did you let Tom Riddle be a Slytherin?" "How do you know about him? Doesn't matter, I choose the house for the students based on the best outcome to them and school. Now, I can't say more than that cause I can't talk about predictions for other students. Lets talk about you instead, a boy with only two futures means you have a prophecy about you, that's fine, but tell me, how is it possible that I can't see even one moment before the prophesy?" The hat was genuinely interested, after 1000 years of sorting students, finally he had something new to expect, after all even though seeing the future is awesome knowing what's going to happen always kind of sucks." Now if Harry trusted the hat maybe he would have told it everything but as he read in another life, Mr. Weasley saying to his daughter 'never trust an object that can think if you can't see where it's brain is' and it's not an advice someone should ever forget! Especially with magical objects, after all you have Horcruxes and a lot of other kinds of magical objects that can think. Plus the hat most probably tells the headmaster a lot so even if it's a harmless magical hat Harry would never tell him anything. "You are so careful, and you have a prophecy on your head, there is only one place you would be..." "SLYTHERIN"
