    Welcome to Hogwarts, where 1/4 of you will be good, 1/4 will be smart, 1/4 will be kinda meh and rest will be evil. And you don’t get to decide at all which you are.

      You do get to decide which house you’ll be in though, that’s the whole point.

      Not that any of the muggle borns will know what the houses mean…

            Yup gaslight the kid into believing he had a choice and that hat doesn’t just look into every future to determine the best outcome for the hat’s personal amusement.
