Sorting Hat Song 1 by the nutty imp
At a time that has long passed
Four founders gathered and created
This legacy that is set to last
Over this cause they have united
Yet divided their ideals were
In four houses they were signified
Hogwarts is the school that they shared
Students chosen, so diversified
Do you possess purity and class?
You oh sly one need not wait long
Always ambitious and never rash
In Slytherin you would belong
To the wise with such cutting wit
An eagle will soar from above
Ravenclaw is your perfect fit
Books and reading thou truly love
To those who are loyal and true
Believe that magic is for all
Hufflepuff is the house for you
Friends who stand by whence you fall
Do you admire courage and valor?
In battle thou prefer to be in front
You are then a Gryffindor
Brave ones who know how to have fun
Where you'll belong I will show
Deep in your heart and mind, I'll look
Place you in a house where you'll grow
To be the best you ever could
So put me on, there no need to fear
The thinking cap is finally here!
A/N: This archive was created to assist writers who wants to put a sorting song into their fic but, finds it difficult to write rhymes.
Sorting Hat Song 2 by the nutty imp
I may not be as fancy as a beret
However I will never be thrown away
My service this school had always require
I have seen all that has transpired
Thy destiny in Hogwarts will be set this day
Where you'll be, depends on what I say
I will search into your heart and mind
The right house for you I will find
To those who are brave and true
Gryffindor is the house for you
To those who are pure and ambitious
In Slytherin you will be victorious
To those who are intelligent and wise
Ravenclaw will more than suffice
To those who are loyal and kind
Hufflepuff will not decline
Come over with your head held high
I will place your to one of the seats nearby
Put me on and we will see
Where thou are meant to be
A/N: In case anyone wants to know there's no need to tell me. Just grab the Sorting Song you want. If you want to change any of the wordings (add or delete or anything) go right ahead. It's your story, so you know what fits best ^_^
Sorting Hat Song 3 by the nutty imp
Four came together
One fateful night
Together they pondered
On the Magical's plight
A school they created
A House for each
Students to be mediated
Students to teach
Helga said Magic's a tool
It is for all to use
An Artesian's module
Hufflepuffs are you
For Rowena Magic is learned
For careful study
A Scholar's concern
In Ravenclaw you'll fit nicely
Salazar sees Magic as an art
A thing to be manipulated
The Strategist at heart
To Slytherin thou sorted
Godrics insist Magic is a weapon
The weak it should protect
Those with this Soldier's notion
To Gryffindor are select
Four houses united and strong
Hogwarts will be your home
With this I end my song
Soon thy magic will be honed
Author's Babblings: Artesians may not sound like much but think of it this way: Most epic heroes are Artesians. ^_^
Sorting Hat Song 4 by the nutty imp
I am the sorting hat and I'll place you to where you belong.
Do come closer children, come listen to my song.
Four Wizards built a school for magic to be learned.
A place for a wizards or witches' title can be earned.
Rowena chose the eagle and the colours of bronze and blue,
To her house are future scholars with wits to answer on cue.
Helga chose the badger and the colours of black and yellow,
She accepts the open-minded who judge not their fellow.
Godric chose the lion and the colours of red and gold,
His students know no fear and value chivalry of old.
Salazar chose the snake and the colours of silver and green,
Accepts only the pure of blood and cunning minds so keen.
For the next seven years your house will be your home.
There you will find friends and you'll never be alone.
So put me on, be not afraid for I've never been wrong.
In your respective houses, each of you will be strong.
A/N: Thanks for the correction OverlyObsessed and VanishingAct
Note: A word of warning... the next song was designed to be irreverent and somewhat humourous. Not for people making serious fics.
Sorting Hat Song 5 by the nutty imp
First of all I would like to thank
Vader for editing this
I am the Hogwarts Sorting Hat.
Step up when you hear your name.
Whether or not you so desire,
I will sort you just the same.
You think fate is yours to control
and choices are yours to take.
Stupid kids, you're barely twelve!
Such decisions are mine to make.
Will you land in Gryffindor
for actions without prudence?
Or perhaps in Hufflepuff;
those slow, delusional students.
Maybe you're a Ravenclaw,
Slowed by your wit and vision.
Or will you slide into Slytherin;
extraordinary ones bound for prison?
I'll cast you losers to where belong,
to suffer each and every day.
Begging me will not change my mind,
but a handful of galleons just may.
Run if you must, but you cannot hide.
Your parents sealed for you this fate.
Unwanted children, lowly first years,
for you, salvation will come too late.
I do not tell tall tales or lies.
You have every right to fear.
To be forever marked and judged,
be wary for your end is near.
A/N: This is totally non-canon (and unlike the other sorting song). I'm just having a bit of fun.
Sorting Hat Song 6 by the nutty imp
I welcome the first years of this new era!
I am but an old hat with no flair for drama.
I tell a tale from the past to the present,
From the Founders to their followers of current.
One school, four houses for the four founders,
Four ideals, also four distinct cultures.
On their own, they think themselves strong.
The dark times have proven this to be wrong.
Sweet words and false promises were the Dark Lord’s tools,
Armed with wisdom, Rowena’s people cannot be fooled.
To those tempted, knowledge they taught,
To the Dark Lord, new followers come naught.
Whilst the enemy and his minions wrecks homes and hope,
Helga’s workers assist and help the broken - to cope.
Showed that every single soul could help the sick get well,
One’s effort no matter how small, could tip the scale.
Godric’s soldiers stood in front of the battle line,
They refused to face this darkness by the sideline.
Many a-battle were fought and won,
Many a-hero’s light, shone and was gone.
Cunning Salazar’s followers were the least suspect,
Their entry to the enemy’s rank was left unchecked.
For the longest time, their efforts received no thanks,
Secretly sabotaged the enemy within its own flanks.
To the return of the light, each had played their part,
Separate yet in harmony, like the wheels of a cart.
Because of the four houses, the balance had returned.
The peace we now share was rightfully earned.
I will sort each student to the house that fits them best,
Enjoy your house, but remain open to the rest.
Together, the four houses will always be strong.
In dark times as well as the light, remember my song.
