Immortality has one major drawback: boredom.

Vampires take an interest in real estate to pass time; gods have the ultimate battle between good and evil to anticipate; even immortal Scotsmen use the centuries to cultivate devastating swordsmanship.

An immortal hat, on the other hand, can't call a real estate agent, battle a devil, or even lift a sword. In fact, the Sorting Hat can only read minds and compose irritating songs.

But immortals must do something to pass the time.

If that something is manipulating generations of wizards in one long game for one's own amusement, well. So be it.

Lovely response to the prompt.

Glad you liked it!

Very well done...and a little chilling.

(plus, I love the allusions to other fandoms. :))

[gileonnen]

I love chilling people, especially with the summery weather we've been having lately. Also glad you liked the allusions. =)

Yay! Hahaha. An immortal hat, on the other hand, can't call a real estate agent, battle a devil, or even lift a sword. In fact, the Sorting Hat can only read minds and compose irritating songs. Hee, I like that.

[gileonnen]

. . . honestly, can the Sorting Hat do anything else? =)

[marginaliana]

Lovely! I especially like the way you've worked in all the different immortals to contrast with the hat. I also like that this is both hysterical and chilling (in 100 words, besides!). Just what I wanted to see.

I'm glad you liked this so well, especially with such an intriguing prompt! Additionally, your icon is the Cutest Thing Ever. =)

Effing BRILLIANT.

[gileonnen]

Best compliment I've ever received. =)

[a_t_rain]

Oh dear, I can actually see that happening in canon :)

[gileonnen]

. . . isn't it? =)

[ex_pixystick865]

I love this - it has so much potential to be true. :)

[gileonnen]

I'm glad you liked it!

This makes so much sense. Well done.
