  Complete and utter silence. Not a single clap or sound was made from anyone. The Bloody Baron had fallen off his bench somehow. A Muggleborn was in Slytherin, this had never happened. It was the Purebloods House, only Purebloods allowed. Some of the smarter people realized that the hat had put her in Slytherin that meant she was meant to be a great Slytherin, seeing as the hat never put Muggleborns in Slytherin. The more bigoted people thought this was a joke and that the hat was about to laugh.
