The White Lord of Hogwarts

Chapter 25 The Sorting Hat Wrecked (for further reading)

Wearing the sorting hat and being sorted into various colleges according to the judgment of the sorting hat is a tradition of Hogwarts for nearly a thousand years.There are very few mistakes in this ceremony, the most is that the Sorting Hat suffers from the difficulty of choosing, and has been unable to decide the whereabouts of the little wizard. This is the first time everyone has seen such nonsense.

Everyone looked at Love with a trace of curiosity. They wanted to know what this little wizard did to the Sorting Hat.

Love himself was speechless, how did he know that this hat was so fragile?However, considering that this program has been running for thousands of years, it is normal that it is prone to failure.

Compared to the students' curiosity and Love's plainness, the Hogwarts professors were worried.Because they think a little longer than the students: If the sorting hat is destroyed, what will Hogwarts use to sort houses in the future?You can't have four statues to separate schools like Ilvermorny in North America, can you?If several deans have watched enough Muggle variety shows, maybe four deans will turn their backs to the freshmen, and the freshmen will take turns to introduce themselves and demonstrate their talents. The deans who are interested in the freshmen turn around and admit them to their own college plan.

It's a pity that the deans don't know much about the non-magic world, so they can only pin their hopes on Dumbledore.In their hearts, the omnipotent Dumbledore will definitely solve the problem.

At this time, Dumbledore was not in a hurry. He was not in a hurry to repair the sorting hat, but looked at Love with his back turned to him with interest, as if a face had grown on the back of his head.

What an interesting kid, this year's Hogwarts is going to be lively, he thought.

Dumbledore took the Sorting Hat from Professor McGonagall and dusted it off.

"Don't worry, I won't make you pay." He said softly, although his voice was low, it also spread throughout the auditorium, causing a burst of laughter.

He took out his wand, pointed at the sorting hat—

Bang!
There was a muffled sound from the hat, and a cloud of dust spewed out.The dust accumulated for nearly a thousand years exploded at this moment, making the teaching staff a mess.The professors were ashamed, and some caught off guard and inhaled a big mouthful of dust, coughing directly.

It's hard to say whether Dumbledore did it on purpose or accidentally, because he instantly created a barrier in front of him, perfectly blocking the dust.

"Clean it up!" He cast another spell to clean up the surrounding dust.

The Sorting Hat was cleaned by him, and it didn't look so scruffy and dirty.

Perhaps it is more convenient to dissipate heat after cleaning the dust, the Sorting Hat quickly returned to normal, it split its "mouth" and twisted its body twice.

"Well, it's fixed." Dumbledore motioned for Professor McGonagall to come and take the sorting hat, and continue the sorting ceremony.

However, before continuing the ceremony, he felt that he should find a way to figure out the reason why the Sorting Hat got stuck. This time, the problem was solved by cleaning the ashes and restarting, but it would be hard to say next time.

"Love Moon, can you tell me what just happened?"

"Professor, I'm too nervous, and there are too many distracting thoughts in my mind." Love didn't turn his head, he turned his back to Dumbledore, and lowered his head to answer, looking like a guilty man who had done something wrong child.

"Yes!" The Sorting Hat spoke in the hands of Professor McGonagall, testifying for Love: "He does have a lot of thoughts in his mind!"

Under the support of this double testimony, Dumbledore believed Love's words, and he said gently: "Don't be nervous, take it easy, the Sorting Hat will help you make a decision."

At the same time, he signaled Professor McGonagall to put the sorting hat back on.

The Sorting Hat curled up the brim of the hat slightly, looking unwilling, but it was just a hat, and it couldn't help itself, and it was eventually buckled on top of Love's head.

It's just that although the professors can force the hats to be put on, they cannot force the hats to work hard.

After learning the painful lesson last time, the Sorting Hat said that it didn't want to see what was in the boy Love's mind. It decided to let the little wizard decide where to go.

It said easily in Love's ear: "Little guy, which college do you want to go to?"

Love:?
Can this be optional?

After a while, seeing that Love didn't respond, the hat asked tentatively: "How is Gryffindor College? Dumbledore graduated from that college, and his reputation has been good in recent years. But in my opinion Come on, it doesn't really matter which college you go to, at worst, you can change to another one in the future!"

The Sorting Hat lied to Love on this one.Once the branching is completed, there is basically no room for turning around, and it is almost impossible to transfer.But what's the matter with the Sorting Hat?Now it just wants to send Love, the God of Plague, away. If it can fool around, it will go back to the principal's office after the sorting ceremony. If you have any complaints, you can complain to Dumbledore.

Love thought about the side mission he had just received, and thought that going to Gryffindor might be a good choice.

But before he could reply to the Sorting Hat, the hat made the decision for him, and it shouted loudly, "Gryffindor!"

This result is not very unexpected. The person who made the Sorting Hat shut down on the first day of school is a natural Gryffindor.

When the Sorting Hat called out Gryffindor, Love only felt a burst of heat flow through his body, and in an instant, he felt refreshed as if he had taken a hot bath.

At the same time, a golden gift box also appeared in his system, waiting for him to open it.

After the name of Gryffindor resounded throughout the auditorium, there was a burst of warm applause from Gryffindor College. The seniors and sisters of the college were very curious about this interesting little wizard, and they were very interested in him. The arrival is naturally a warm welcome.

Love stood up from the four-legged stool and walked towards the long table in Gryffindor House.Seeing Love coming, a pair of red-haired twins squeezed aside to make room for Love.

Not only that, they also shouted to Love very familiarly: "Here, here!"

It was obvious that they really wanted to sit next to Love.

The hospitality was hard to refuse, and Love sat down on the vacant seat they vacated, and there was a ghost sitting next to him.Seeing him sit down, the ghost patted Love on the shoulder very relieved. The ghost's body was extremely cold, as if soaked in ice water when it came into contact with people, Love shivered involuntarily.

Seeing his reaction like this, the ghost smiled slightly and raised his hand.

After greeting the ghost, Love looked at the twins beside him. Judging from their hair color, they must be members of the Weasley family.

The first one is here!
　Note: The Ilvermorney School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has four schools: Longhorn School, Cat Leopard School, Thunderbird School and Pukechi School.When a student enters Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for their education, they are first led into the rotunda at the entrance to the castle.Here are four wooden carvings representing the four colleges.As new students file into the rotunda, the rest of the faculty and students watch from the circular terrace above.The freshmen stood in a circle against the wall and were called one by one to stand over the Gordian Knot carved into the center of the hall's stone floor.The four magical statues consider whether they want the student to enroll in their academy.Their responses vary:

　　Horned Water Serpent - The crystal embedded in the forehead shines
　　cat leopard - growl
　　Thunderbird - Wings and Fly
　　Pukeqi-raise the bow and arrow in your hand

　　On rare occasions, statues from more than one House will express a desire to recruit the same student.In this case, students have the right to make their own choices.
