"Wayne, Harry Apollo!" Minerva said as she looked at the tall boy with a lithe figure walked towards the hat with cat like grace. He glanced at the Slytherin table as he passed them and he saw one boy flinch, his right arm in a sling from a broken wrist.
Harry sat on the uncomfortable stool and put on the Hat.
'Oh my, oh my!' Harry heard the sorting hat's voice. He was not surprised with the sudden voice in his head, as he already deduced from observing his peers that the talking hat communicated mentally to the student being sorted.
'Must be a legillimency property enchanted on the hat', he thought and heard the hat's reply. 'Very good Mr. Potter or Mr. Wayne. You already figured me out! But that is not all of my power.'
'I guess, now where would you place me? Do I have a choice?' he asked, wanting to go with Hermione and Daphne.
'Yes you have a choice!' the hat said eagerly, it was happy talking to this strange boy. The hat continued speaking. 'What most students think is they have no choice, afraid to ask, afraid to be different, and just let themselves be conformed to standards of society. You however are different, and you have so much power! I shudder to think about what will happen to your enemies. So why is it that you went to Hogwarts Mr. Wayne?'
'I came here because I felt my destiny and purpose lies here' Harry replied, not sure where this is going on.
'And what is your purpose?' the hat asked curiously.
'My purpose is to bring justice to those who deserve it, as the league taught Me.' he said referring to the powerful Justice League who protected Earth from harm, internal and external.
'Very well Mr. Wayne, but I warn you now, that the path you walk will seriously tempt you. To either abuse that power, or to use it wisely is up to you.' It said seriously. 'You like to brood, and to think. You can be ruthless when needed, but very affectionate and protective to your loved ones. You have an analytical keen mind, Apollo. A very appropriate name, for the Greek God of wisdom, justice and the light. You deserve to be in... "Ravenclaw!" it shouted, and strangely enough, no weird outburst came after.
The Ravenclaw house cheered again, as Harry sat between Daphne and Hermione. The remaining two boys went to Gryffindor and Slytherin respectively, and the Headmaster stood up to make final announcements.
"Excellent! Excellent! Now since I know we are all very hungry" Albus stopped talking as a chorus of hungry "YES" was heard from the students. He chuckled and continued. "Let the Feast begin!" The tables suddenly filled with food, and the feast began.
Harry, Daphne and Hermione walked to their first class, Transfiguration. They had received their schedules this morning, and they were excited to learn the theory. Harry already knew the gist of basic transfiguration, but he was also excited, to learn firsthand under a renowned Transfiguration Mistress.
They entered the classroom and only saw a tabby cat sitting on a desk and they stared at it for a minute before they sat down, near the middle of the classroom. Harry was feeling mischievous today, and wondered at why there was a cat in the room. The class won't start for another fifteen minutes so he stood up and stretched his back while Daphne and Hermione read the chapter that was related to the lecture to brush up on knowledge. He walked around and finally neared the professor's table and looked at the cat. It was cute with weird markings on its eyes and a fluffy tail with black stripes. He walked closer and before the cat had time to react, he scooped it up on his arms and began petting its head and back.The cat didn't even try to resist for it was shocked at what Harry did, no one ever did that to Minerva McGonagall, Transfiguration Mistress. Harry began to stroke the cat's neck, and it let out a purr. "You're a cute kitty aren't you" Harry asked as he stroked its back and tail. The cat responded by purring louder, its eyes half closing as it relished the feeling. Daphne and Hermione stopped reading and watched Harry's soft side showing, and they giggled at the amusing sight. Harry sat down, petting the cat, as more students went inside the classroom. The cat didn't notice this as it was beginning to feel sleepy. "Purrrrr" it said loudly, adjusting itself to be more comfortable on Harry's arms, its head on his shoulder.
The class was finally full, and the teacher had not yet appeared, for Harry was making it sleepy. He noticed the time and he stopped petting it and lifted it to his arms to look at its face. He turned to Daphne and said "She's very adorable don't you think?"
"She?" Daphne asked and Harry replied by holding the cat on its shoulders and turned it around, showing its underbelly to confirm it was female. "Oh right female. You better let go of the cat now Harry, Professor McGonagall might come inside anytime." Daphne said.
Harry nodded and said to the kitty "I have to study now, bye kitty" and kissed its nose. The cat suddenly realized what had happened and leaped from his arms and landed on the ground, transforming back to Professor McGonagall."Mr. Wayne!" She said, blushing red as the whole class was shocked into silence, looking back between her and Harry. Daphne let out a very small giggle, but that was enough to trigger the others holding their laughter. After a few minutes order was established and Minerva started to lecture although she was unable to look into the students' eyes as she lectured for the rest of the period. Harry was embarrassed as he realized he kissed a teacher on the nose. He was deducted five points, but gained 15 points by the time the class was dismissed.
News of Harry's actions spread around, specially to the Hogwarts Staff. Minerva studiously avoided the eyes of Filius and Pomona, who continually teased her. Albus was worse, as he asked for a pensieve memory, making up a rule that said that affairs between students and teachers must be recorded. She of course refused, and mentally made a note not to give him anything for Christmas.
