Find the best college for you.
If you desire strength, go to Gryffindor. They are brave, just and courageous, and can discover the courage buried deep in your heart.
Maybe you will enter Slytherin, they are strong and calm, elegant and self-restrained. Here you don't need to hide your ambitions and desire for power, because everyone here is the same as you.
Hufflepuff is upright, loyal, tough and honest. Come, you will find the most trustworthy partner here.
And Ravenclaw, if you have extraordinary wisdom and a shrewd mind, then please do not hesitate, there are fellow travelers like you there.
Come on wear me.
Don't worry and be afraid.
I will tell you what my heart desires."
When the song ended, there was thunderous applause all around. It could be seen that the young wizards in the magical world were all very polite.
The Sorting Hat bowed to the four tables one by one, and then remained motionless.
……
Although the song of the Sorting Hat is hard to describe, the freshmen have basically figured it out. The so-called sorting is just about putting on this hat.
This made many people secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Compared to the rumors I heard before, wearing a hat is so easy.
It’s just that the hat is a little dirty, a little old, and a little ugly. It doesn’t matter. It’s only for a while and you don’t have to wear it all the time.
Professor McGonagall walked quickly forward, a piece of parchment in her hand.
"Whoever's name I call now will put on his hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the sorting."
Professor McGonagall glanced at the parchment.
"Thomas Albright."
A blond boy raised his head, walked over quickly and put on his hat, and a moment later...
"Ravenclaw!" the Sorting Hat shouted.
The boy seemed very satisfied, and after taking off the Sorting Hat, he couldn't wait to walk towards the Ravenclaw table, which was the place with the loudest applause in the hall at that moment.
"Marietta Ikemo!"
A little girl ran up happily, picked up the Sorting Hat and put it on.
"Ravenclaw!"
“Oh… that’s great!”
The first two freshmen were both Ravenclaws, which made the Eagles extremely excited, and the enthusiastic cheers seemed to lift the ceiling off.
"Katie Bell!"
This time it was also a little girl who ran up in a panic and put the Sorting Hat on her head.
Maybe because she was too nervous, she put too much force on the hat, causing her entire head to be stuck in the hat, leaving only her neck outside.
"Hahahaha!"
There was a burst of laughter in the auditorium.
Professor McGonagall sighed upon seeing this and quickly stepped forward to help tidy it up.
"Thanks, little meg, I almost thought I was going to burst."
The Sorting Hat nodded to Professor McGonagall, "Gryffindor, for sure!"
At the far left side of the hall, a burst of enthusiastic cheers suddenly broke out at the Gryffindor table!
Fred and George were even standing on the stools, whistling excitedly, and it was obvious that they really liked this little girl.
Katie Bell ran down with a red face.
The sorting continued, but in order to prevent what happened just now from happening again, Professor McGonagall thought it would be better for her to preside over it, so she did not step aside as she had done before, but stood behind the four-poster stool, holding the Sorting Hat in one hand and the parchment in the other.
"Cho. Chang!"
An Asian girl slowly walked to the stool and sat down. Professor McGonagall stood behind her and gently placed the Sorting Hat on her head.
"Ravenclaw!"
"Oh!!"
As the Sorting Hat called out the name of the same house for the third time, the little eagles went completely crazy. Some stood on stools and danced in front of the whole school, while others picked up the decorative flowers on the dining table and threw them towards the ceiling with excitement.
They threw aside the calmness that they were usually proud of and cheered wildly.
"Three. The Sorting has just begun and we already have three new students!"
"Ravenclaw will rise this year!"
……
The professors on the stage did not try to stop them. They just watched with a smile until they started throwing plates. Only then did Professor McGonagall stand up with a stern face.
Outstanding effect.
After seeing Professor McGonagall, the little eagles seemed to have been poured a bucket of cold water on their heads. They calmed down immediately, turned from eagles into quails, and sat back at the dining table obediently.
Professor McGonagall's expression improved a lot and she looked at the parchment again.
"Omid Flor!"
……
"Slytherin!"
……
The ranks of freshmen are getting smaller and smaller.
Kyle stood in the crowd, patiently waiting for his name to be called, but somehow he always felt a tingling sensation on his back, as if someone was constantly poking him with a needle.
Kyle turned his head subconsciously, and saw Kanna with a red face, staring at him fiercely.
But unlike before, this time he was angry.
The originally shy little girl seemed like a different person at this moment, her little white teeth grinding with a creaking sound, as if she would pounce on him and bite him at any time.
"Ahem... Oh, the weather is so nice."
Kyle laughed dryly twice, as if he saw nothing, and turned his head back pretending to be calm.
Afterwards, he moved lightly and squeezed forward quietly, trying to stay as far away from Kanna as possible.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The place was so small and there were not many people here, so there was nowhere to hide. No matter where he ran, Kanna could always see him.
That uneasy feeling never went away.
Fortunately, at this time, a voice suddenly came.
"Kyle Chopper!"
For the first time, Kyle felt that Professor McGonagall's voice was so beautiful, like the sound of nature, and like an angel who brought salvation to people.
To be honest, if he could re-elect the headmaster, he would definitely choose Professor McGonagall.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 19 Hufflepuff
Kyle didn't hesitate and walked onto the stage in just two or three steps.
After surviving the disaster, he patted his chest, looked at Professor McGonagall sincerely and said, "Thank you, Professor."
Perhaps she had not expected that there was such a polite child in Hogwarts. Kyle's sudden action really caught Professor McGonagall off guard. It took her two or three seconds to react. She shook her head and said, "This is my duty."
Despite this, Professor McGonagall's originally serious expression softened a lot. Before putting the Sorting Hat on Kyle's head, she even dusted it off.
"Such a polite child, it would be great if he could be sorted into Gryffindor."
Professor McGonagall was feeling somewhat excited, because this kind of model student was what Gryffindor lacked the most.
Last year, she dreamed of bringing Cedric to her own college, but unfortunately Sprout and Dumbledore disagreed.
It depends on how this year goes.
Professor McGonagall stared at Kyle with burning eyes and prayed in her heart that the Sorting Hat would be reliable for once.
……
"Strange, so strange."
When Kyle put on the Sorting Hat, he heard a small voice beside his ear saying, "You actually said thank you sincerely? This shouldn't be the case. I mean, are you really that kind of good kid?"
"Of course I am!" Kyle said seriously, "You can go and ask around. Both the Weasleys and Mr. Scamander have said that I am the most polite and good child they have ever seen.
So please don't slander me, or I will sue you even if you are just a hat."
"..."
The Sorting Hat fell into a rare silence, with the tip of the hat swinging back and forth unconsciously. It seemed to be at a loss for words, or as if it was struggling with something.
After a long pause, he continued, “Your shameless look makes me feel like I’ve returned to more than a thousand years ago, but at that time I was just an ordinary hat on Godric’s head.
So, how about Gryffindor? I feel like that place is... never mind, it's not the right place for you."
"I think……"
"Let me think about it." Kyle was about to speak when he was interrupted by the Sorting Hat: "Slytherin is better. You will be brilliant there, there is no doubt about that."
"that……"
"Etc., etc."
For the second time, the Sorting Hat interrupted Kyle again: "No, it's still not suitable. And if you go to Slytherin, Snape will definitely pour some weird potions on me in the future. Let me think about it again..."
Dumbledore has given me a big problem... It's a pity, it would be better if Azkaban also belonged to Hogwarts, or Nurmengard."
……
The Sorting Hat sounded like it was joking, but Kyle couldn't laugh at all... What's going on? It seems like he didn't do anything wrong. At most, he just scared Kanna. Is he going to be sorted to Nurmengard because of this?
Are you still being unreasonable?
