What does your heart really long?
Put me on and you will see,
The uncertain future of your destiny.
I am a hat that isn’t normal,
A hat that is more than formal.
Try me on, young wizard or witch,
My mind is faster than a snitch.
I used to be Godric Gryffindor’s fine cap,
Now I'm nothing but a piece of old scrap.
As the saying goes, don’t judge a book by it’s cover,
So try not to judge this old hat by another.
You're travelled far and ended up here,
Put me on your head, there’s nothing to fear.
With the gift of magic you were blessed,
Your characters traits must be assessed.
In Gryffindor, anything evil will find a fight,
In Ravenclaw, the clever and wise do unite,
In Hufflepuff, friendliness welcomes you,
In Slytherin, cunning ambition does brew.
Well you can know where you would fit in most,
I’m not as scary as a Hogwarts ghost.
So what are you waiting for? Put me on!
The time to turn back has clearly gone.
After you try me on what awaits you is the practice of magic,
And life without that unique opportunity would be tragic.
You may be nervous, your heart may drum,
But try me on, the time has come!
