[ EU ] `` not slytherin ... not slytherin ... '' , Harry mumbled . `` Not slytherin , eh ? '' the sorting hat said incredulously . `` In that case ... SLYTHERIN ! `` .

`` Why, i told you i did n't want to be in Slytherin, ca n't you change your mind?'' 
 
 `` Young man i never change my mind, and not wanting to be in Slytherin is the hallmark of a good Slytherin, only a Griffindor actually wants to be in Slytherin. 
 
 Slytherin is for cunning people, i mean really what kind of cunning person wants to advertise that that. 
 
 Not to mention that you tried to manipulate me, me, a sentient object who's only purpose is to sort people, sure you did n't succeed, but i do have a thousand years of experience with this.'' 
 
 `` Sorry, but are you sure there is no way to change it, i really do n't like that Malfoy fellow.'' 
 
 `` Well there is one way, since you are the true heir of Gryffindor i could allow you his private suite, though you could also claim the title of heir of Slytherin by right of conquest and claim his suite. it would be closer to the Slytherin dorms, that way you could still hang out with your friends while avoiding Mr Malfoy.'' 
 
 `` Ehm how do i claim the Title of heir of Slytherin?'' 
 
 `` Simply state out loud'I hereby claim the title of heir of Slytherin by right of conquest, so mote it be.' and magic will bestow it to you.'' 
 
 `` Thanks,.... Mr Sorting hat?, do you have a name?'' 
 
 `` Its Henry Highhat, thanks for asking, you know you're the first one who's asked me that in over one hundred and forty years. 
 
 Now take me of people are starting to stare and i have children to sort.'' 
 
 `` O, sorry. Thanks again Mr Highhat.''
