The voice of the hat sounded in his head after it was placed upon it. "<strong>Now I'm curious where would be best to place you.</strong>" it said peering into his mind and getting the measure of his character as it did so.<br/><br/>"<strong>Hmm, a high degree of intelligence, though somewhat lacking in people skills, there is little doubt you'd find yourself at home among Ravenclaw and their eccentric bunch</strong>." The hat said, yet even in Xerxes mind he would be able to hear the hat wasn't altogether convinced with it's assessment. "<strong>Yet I sense something more in you, potential.....Ravenclaw would make use of the talents you already have.....Yet there is another house that values a clever mind and might yet help you grow greater still</strong>."<br/><br/>"<strong>Another for.....<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">Slytherin!</span></strong>" The hat bellow and the Slytherin house exploded into cheer and applause eager to welcome the newest member to their house.<br/><br/>
