Aliah Snape: For Those Who We Love (Book 3)

Sorting Hat

Aliah looked over the rails and breathed in the fresh air. The wind blew through her hair, she closed her eyes feeling the warmth of the sun, listened to the sound of the birds chirping and feelt her mother's hand on her shoulder.

"How do I get back?" Aliah opened her eyes

"Let's talk first," Serena turned on the spot and headed inside.

"What is this place?" Aliah followed her mother down the staircase.

"I'm surprised you haven't realised," Serena laughed as she headed into a room. Aliah scurried after her and saw a piano.

"Malfoy Manor," Aliah gasped, "Why are we here?"

"You chose this place. This must be special to you if we are here now," Serena sat down swinging her legs onto the chaise. "Play something," she motioned to the piano.

Aliah walked over to the piano and played a song that she had been working on.

"One thousand years ago this story starts

There were four sorcerers with strong and wise hearts

Bold Gryffindor from wild moor

Fair Ravenclaw from glen

Sweet Hufflepuff from valley broad

Shrewd Slytherin from fen

They had a dream to teach all that they knew

Witches and wizards came far and it grew

'Til a castle stood tall by the shores of a lake

And a thousand years later the magic remains

Old Hogwarts Sorting Hat sing me a song

Speak in my head tell me where I belong

And when things look bad and there's nowhere to run

Unite all the houses and we'll fight as one

Brave Godric Gryffindor favoured the strong

Those who had courage and knew right from wrong

And Rowena Ravenclaw taught only the best

So kind Helga Hufflepuff would teach all the rest

But Salazar Slytherin had is own plans

He thought the Muggle-borns didn't understand

The subtleties of magic and so he devised

The Chamber of Secrets with a monster inside

Unite all the houses and we'll fight as one.

Unite all the houses and we'll fight as one.
