‘Hmmm what do we have here?’ The sorting hat asked sorting through his thoughts.
‘I would suggest that anything you see in there you keep private.’ Leevi thought calmly.
‘Of course, everything is totally confidential.’ It replied vaguely.
‘Now where shall we put you?’
‘Gryffindor, like we decided, after all it is the best place for me to work.’ Leevi thought back.
‘Trying to take away Albus’ support I see.’ The amused hat muttered.
‘How Slytherin of you.’
‘I’d put him in Gryffindor if I was you.’ A new voice came, and the sorting hat visiblely jumped causing some of the on lookers to chuckle.
‘WHO WAS THAT?’ The hat demanded.
Leevi and the ‘other’ voice started to silently chuckle.
‘Don’t worry about it, just my familiar Melton.’
‘Fine then have it your way, but I still say you would have done great in Slytherin.’ The hat sighed before yelling out, GRYFFINDOR!
