Third pov:

Harry had caught the sorting hat in his hands. Just after catching the sorting hat, Tom starts mocking Harry for his loyalties and the trust Dumbledore has in him that he sent a mere hat to save him. Tom shuts up seeing that the basilisk keeps getting distracted by the phoenix which also shoots a few flames at him as well. Tom fires a chain of spells at Fawkes who easily dodges. Harry seeing Fawkes get ganged up on fired a chain of spells at Tom to distract him. Doing this ended up starting another duel between Harry and the shade. As Harry was engaged in the fight Harry put the sorting hat on his head and while it was on his head the sorting hat began speaking to him as though he was on a peaceful walk or having a nice picnic.

Hat-" I told you that Slytherin is the best choice for you and where you grow to greatness, Mr. Potter. But you vehemently asked for any other house but Slytherin. I put you in Gryffindor in hopes you befriend Mr.Longbottom which you sadly have yet to do. Now look where your choice has gotten you Mr.Potter look what has happened to you over the last two years all because you chose to be in Gryffindor instead of Slytherin. Today you find yourself in another life-or-death situation because of those around you. If you had been in Slytherin, you would have been with people who are like you, Mr.Potter. People who are ambitious, cunning, and intelligent. However, I will admit that the Gryffindor Quidditch team, Mr.Thomas, Mr.Longbottom, Mr. Finnigan, and Ms.Granger are a great choice of friends. Even if it did take time for you to befriend them all I am glad you eventually did. However, I didn't suggest you be in Slytherin just because of your ambition, intelligence, and eminence cunning though that is part of the reason, it is just not the main reason. The 2 main reasons I suggested you go were 1 if you had gone to that house you could have changed the school hopefully ending the social isolation that Slytherin has with the rest of the school and my 2nd reason is you are a direct descendant of Salazar Slytherin himself, Mr.Potter. Before his death, Salazar himself asked me to sort any of his family members to his house where they would be safe. I know you may not believe it Mr.Potter but you are in fact a direct blood descendant from Salazar Slytherin and Helga Slytherin 'nee' Hufflepuff through their youngest son through your mother."

The sorting hat paused to give Harry time to process the information. Harry couldn't believe he was related to Salazar Slytherin and Helga Hufflepuff aka Helga Slytherin which Harry did not even know was married to Salazar. Not only that but he was related to them through his mother which means his mother was not a muggle born like everyone believed. Harry dodges another attack from the basilisk and fires another spell at it and Fawkes attacks it again then he dodges attacks from both Tom and the basilisk. At this moment the hat decides to talk again.
