Recipient: marginaliana
Prompt: The Sorting Hat is evil.
Word count: 100
Rating: G; Harry Potter/Dracula/Bible/Norse Mythology/Highlander crossover. =)

Immortality has one major drawback: boredom.

Vampires take an interest in real estate to pass time; gods have the ultimate battle between good and evil to anticipate; even immortal Scotsmen use the centuries to cultivate devastating swordsmanship.

An immortal hat, on the other hand, can't call a real estate agent, battle a devil, or even lift a sword. In fact, the Sorting Hat can only read minds and compose irritating songs.

But immortals must do something to pass the time.

If that something is manipulating generations of wizards in one long game for one's own amusement, well. So be it.

Thank you very much--also, I have been in love with that icon for just ages. =)

Wow. Depending on what perspective you want to read this from, it's either really funny or really creepy...

gileonnen April 16 2006, 03:40:05 UTC

Why not both? Thanks for the comment! =)

I am truly amazed you could accomplish all that in 100 words. I tip my sorting hat in your direction.

gileonnen April 16 2006, 03:46:53 UTC

Thank you very much--clever parting shot, by the way. =)

*eg* Is it bad that I can just see this?

gileonnen April 16 2006, 03:49:20 UTC

It's extremely bad! Go stand in the corner with a battered hat on your head, then write on the board one hundred times, "The Sorting Hat isn't Big Brother. The Sorting Hat isn't Big Brother . . ." =)

asklfjalsdjglksdjgklsdjgklsjdflkjg Greatness!! So, so funny. :D

Thank you very much! I know I've done something right if I've made a reader pound the keyboard. =)

Great stuff - a creepy and very plausible notion. Well done!

helzebel April 16 2006, 12:47:49 UTC

Thank you--I love your icon, by the way. =)

I love the image of the SH sitting there on his shelf, plotting mischief!

gileonnen April 17 2006, 12:46:09 UTC

I should really draw that . . . =)
