"What the fricking fudge are these things?" Aoide exclaimed looking at the Nico skeleton horses.
"Milady, did we do something to offend you?" One of the bone horses neighed.
Aoide then shrieked.
"Woah, you've never seen a skeleton horse?" I asked.
"You have?" Aoide yelled at me.
"No, but I'm choosing to accept them." I huffed.
"What are you two talking about?" Hermione asked.
"The skeleton horses pulling the carriage, duh." I said.
"There aren't any horses."
"Well, then you're blind!" Aoide stated. I swear, at that moment, I almost started tearing up. She's so much like me, with the sass!
"You guys see them too?" Harry asked.
We both nodded.
The ride was pretty much awkward silence after that.
Huh.

I'm apparently a "horrible, irresponsible, selfish child." Okay, yeah, I probably deserved it for sneaking my phone into my pocket and listening to music while the little kids got sorted. But hey, I never wanted to go to this school in the first place, so why should I act like I care??
It was about halfway through the sorting, when some pink toad yanked my earbuds out. I gave her a death glare.
"Now, what might you be doing?" Toadster asked.
"Listening to music." I responded in a monotone voice.
"Now why would you be doing that, instead of paying attention to the sorting of your younger peers?"
"Because the sorting is boring and I don't care." I said with a straight face, although I was cracking up inside.
"High-five!" Percy yelled as he started to laugh REALLY hard.
I high-fived him, and joined him laughing.
Everyone was now staring at us. The ones at the blue table were giving us the evil eye, while the ones at Harry's table looked like they were having a very difficult time holding in laughter. The ones at the yellow table were gasping, and the green ones were smirking, like: I like these two.
"Not the time?" I said innocently.
Toadster glared at me.
"Okay then, probably not." Percy said.
I then burst into a fit of laughter again. I'm sorry, I'm a happy emo, okay? Gods.
"Let me see the muggle device." Pinkie Pie said.
"Okay," I said in a careless voice.
"Now how would you like to share your music?" She said as she unplugged my earbuds.
Then, There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't figured It Out Yet. started playing. (Song at top)
"Talk to the mirror, oh, choke back tears
And keep telling yourself that "I'm a diva!"
Oh and the smokes in that cigarette box on the table
they just so happen to be laced with nitroglycerin," I sand along.

I don't own song.

"How do you stop this?" Toadster yelled over the music.
"I can only stop it if you hand over the phone!" I yelled, then cackled.
She then placed my baby in my hand.
I pressed pause and then quickly pocketed it.
"Carry on," I said.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

About a half an hour after the little scene my sister created, the feast was about to start, and we still haven't been sorted.
"And now, for our new exchange students." The lady said.

Not alphabetically correct but for story's sake.

"Riddle, Perceus."
There were murmurs all around.
I was confused for a second, until Aoide nudged me.
"Oh," I said.
I then walked to the stool, where they placed the old hat atop my head.
"Hmm, interesting case we have here." He said in my mind.
I jumped, and almost fell off the stool.
I didn't realize you'd be all up in my mind. I thought.
"I see that. Well, not literally, but you know what I mean."
"Hmm," he said he looked through my mind.
Memories of me failing in school flooded my brain.
"Definitely not Ravenclaw." The hat said.
Hey! I thought.
It just laughed in my mind.
"You could be a Gryffindor, you definitely have bravery. Although, most of the time it's stupid bravery." It said as I saw every stupid thing I ever did. I was sitting there for quite a bit.
"Oh, you are almost certainly a Hufflepuff." The hat said as every moment I saved a friend, or did something loyal.
Including Tartarus. 😁
"But wait." The hat said.
"Huh?" I said out loud.
People in the crowd started laughing.
"You are the heir of Slytherin."
What does that mean? I thought to him.
"Slytherin!" He called out loud.
The Green table started cheering.
But Aoide was screaming.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

How dare that little beep of a hat put my brother in the same house our vile grandfather was in!
"This is an outrage!" I screamed at the hat. "Percy belongs in Hufflepuff!"
"Miss, calm yourself down." Pinkie Pie said.
"What if I don't want to?" I yelled.

RandomParadise27 I simply had to throw in my favorite line.

"Miss Riddle! Hat! Now!" The lady who was calling names said.
(This is McGonagall btw)
I quieted myself and sat on the dumb stool as Percy sat by Malfoy at the Slytherin table.
"Your a fiery one aren't you?" The hat said.
Get this over-with, I thought.
"Now I understand you're upset that your brother is in Slytherin, but the Slytherin genes dominated his Hufflepuff behavior." The hat said.
Blah Blah Blah, I'm an old hat and I use fancy words. I thought.
The hat laughed. "I can hear that."
"Now let's get you sorted."
"Hmm, you're more Ravenclaw than your brother, I'll give you that."
But, I don't act like one. I thought.
"Right," the hat said. "But you definitely act like a Gryffindor."
Images of me getting in fist fights and being crazy at school flashed through my head. Along with my bloody fists, bruises, and broken bones.
Worth it, I thought.
"But, you're A bit more Hufflepuff."
"What?" I shrieked out loud.
Sorry, my Hufflepufflings.
"You have true kindness and loyalty in your heart." The hat said.
"However, the Slytherin bloodline is strong in you."
Oh no, I thought.

"Slytherin!"
