Anyone would believe that the Sorting Hat was just that, just the pain old sorting hat that would sort the first years into their houses for the next 7 years, but this hat had many secrets.

When the first years came though the Great hall to the front by the tables where the teachers were sat, the Sorting Hat was ready for his job. Professor McGonagall had called out the first name. Susan Bones, easy, she's a Hufflepuff. Next up, Ronald Weasley, great, another Weasley, please say that he isn't a littler version of Fred and George, but this is easy too, Gryffindor, like the rest of his family. But the next name and the sorting hat was put off.

Hermione Granger. Wow. Lovely brown bushy hair and a lovely mind, smart but brave. The Sorting Hat couldn't think straight. No, he thought, She's a little girl, and you're a hat, it'll never work. Without thinking, the Sorting Hat called out Gryffindor. Oh dear. She would've been great in Ravenclaw.

A/N: This was just some Head Canon I wrote ages ago. I believe it was for a HC Contest on Facebook where you had to write a HC for a crazy pairing in Harry Potter so I thought I'd do my own take on the Hermione/Sorting Hat fanfict. that was floating around x) I hope you like it! Review if you must and PM me if you'd like to see other HC's of other pairings in the Potter Series!
