The Sorting Hat's Song
Every year at the Start-of-Term Feast, the Sorting Hat sings a song. But for the last two years, it has sung about some something peculiar. What follows is the Hat's song from the beginning of the 1938-39 school year.

~Don't linger in thought.~

~If you do nothing, only you are to blame.~
