"Chambliss, Kelly," called Professor McGonagall, plopping the Sorting Hat on the head of a gangly girl with frizzy hair.
"Not Gryffindor," the Hat whispered at once, immediately recognizing the girl as the spineless Snivellus she was. It politely didn't mention that her epitaph was going to be the same as Jimmy Cagney's in Angels With Dirty Faces: "Kelly died yellow."
"Not Slytherin," the Hat said next, as it realized the extent of the child's lack of ambition, subtlety, and political savvy.
"Not Ravenclaw, either," was the Hat's further conclusion. This Kelly girl wasn't stupid -- in fact, she was just smart enough to realize that she wasn't smart enough. This knowledge can be very useful in the real world, but it don't answer no doorknockers, if you catch the Hat's drift.
Thus the choice should have been "Hufflepuff" by default, and indeed, the Hat could feel powerful dorkiness andobsessiveness tenacity in the child's depths. But, Merlin's polka-dot braces, could there be a lazier kid on the face of the earth? Not bloody likely.
So despite the fact that those on-line Sorting quizzes (which the girl took when too lazy to do her work) tended to place her in Ravenclaw with a side helping of Hufflepuff, the Hat couldn't bring itself to sully any of the four honorable Houses by placing this misfit girl in them.
Whereupon, unable for the first time in over a millennium to Sort a student, the Sorting Hat spontaneously combusted, and "Chambliss, Kelly" and her singed hair were booted from Hogwarts in disgrace. By Professor McGonagall herself.
