Better Be...! by Kitsune-chan
Summary: The Sorting Hat goes back in time and changes how House sortings are made. Previously, it sorted children by wishes and family inheritance. Now it will sort only by personality traits, and is free from any compulsions placed on it originally. Be creative!
Requirements:
- The Sorting Hat goes back in time, to anytime (it could even go back to the Founders and tell them that the whole House system thing is a stupid idea).
- No pairings, or pairings play a very small and almost unnoticed role.
Things I Would Like:
- Goes back to Harry's time, the Marauders, or shortly before/during Tom Riddle's start
- Extremely uneven Sortings, so that the teachers are forced to hold mixed classes
- NO OOC-ness
- Parseltongue plays a key role (double points for this)
- Parselmouth!Lily
- Decently written and semi-original Sorting songs; the Sorting Hat should go with different songs than 'before'
- Second year, Harry either is the one who is given Tom Riddle's diary or he has it for longer/ knows of its power for longer
- Not-super-nice Snape
- Someone other than James is Harry's father (another thing to get creative with; also how it's revealed)
- Dark!Sirius (regardless of what time)
- Independent! and/ or Gray!Harry (but not Dark/ Evil)
- Lily somehow ends up resurrected (points for creativity)
