Harry Potter; The Sorting Hat Song

My Blog! Chat! Games! My Videos! Your Videos! http://askcarrielee.blogspot.com

This is a response to Alan who said he's never EVER read a word of HP. So, being the HP dork that I am, I will read "The Sorting Hat Song" in order to convince him. Hopefully he doesn't run screaming.

The end was just joke. I was suppose to be talking to myself. :)

Heheheee... And I totally said "Happry" instead of happy... :P

Sorting Hat's Song (Book 5)
In times of old when I was new
And Hogwarts barely started

The founders of our noble school
Thought never to be parted:

United by a common goal,
They had the selfsame yearning,

To make the world's best magic school
And pass along their learning.

"Together we will build and teach!"
The four good friends decided

And never did they dream that they
Might someday be divided,

For were there such friends anywhere
As Slytherin and Gryffindor?

Unless it was the second pair
Of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw?

So how could it have gone so wrong?
How could such friendships fail?

Why, I was there and so can tell
The whole sad, sorry tale.

Said Slytherin, "We'll teach just those
Whose ancestry is purest."

Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach those whose
Intelligence is surest."

Said Gryffindor, "We'll teach all those
With brave deeds to their name,"

Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot,
And treat them just the same."

These differences caused little strife
When first they came to light,

For each of the four founders had
A House in which they might

Take only those they wanted, so,
For instance, Slytherin

Took only pure-blood wizards
Of great cunning, just like him,

And only those of sharpest mind
Were taught by Ravenclaw

While the bravest and the boldest
Went to daring Gryffindor.

Good Hufflepuff, she took the rest,
And taught them all she knew,

Thus the Houses and their founders
Retained friendships firm and true.

So Hogwarts worked in harmony
For several happy years,

But then discord crept among us
Feeding on our faults and fears.

The Houses that, like pillars four,
Had once held up our school,

Now turned upon each other and,
Divided, sought to rule.

And for a while it seemed the school
Must meet an early end,

What with dueling and with fighting
And the clash of friend on friend

And at last there came a morning
When old Slytherin departed

And though the fighting then died out
He left us quite downhearted.

And never since the founders four
Were whittle down to three

Have the Houses been united
As they once were meant to be.

And now the Sorting Hat is here
And you all know the score:

I sort you into Houses
Because that is what I'm for,

But this year I'll go further,
Listen closely to my song:

Though condemned I am to split you
Still I worry that it's wrong,

Though I must fulfill my duty
And must quarter every year

Still I wonder whether sorting
May not bring the end I fear.

Oh, know the perils, read the signs,
The warning history shows,
For our Hogwarts is in danger
From external, deadly foes

And we must unite inside her
Or we'll crumble from within

I have told you, I have warned you...
Let the Sorting now begin.

I gotta say, I made this as a video response to someone who asked "why should I read harry potter?" At the time I just wanted to make a fast response and googled the sorting hat song, this was one of the first ones I found - I'd lent all my books to my mother! I didn't even have one in the house! :)
