HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Elaine's highly engaging speech, coupled with his feat of pulling out the Gryffindor sword, instantly earned him a large following.

Among these people were not only students, but also several teachers who were excited and eager to participate.

"I loved the little wizard's speech!"

"The only thing that worries me is his attitude toward the 'reform of the magical world'."

"Hopefully it will be a relatively peaceful operation!"

"That's what a female professor said."

Her name is Karedi Bubbaggie, and she was invited by Dumbledore this year to teach the young wizards "Muggle Studies".

Before her, Quirrell, who had switched to teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts this year, was in charge of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts.

After Professor Bubbaji finished speaking, he looked at his colleague beside him.

"Professor Trelawney, can you foresee this young wizard's future?"

"Ah...this...this..."

Sybil Trelawney was fiddling with the cutlery in front of her when Bubbaji's question made her instantly nervous.

In her nervousness, Trelawney dropped her fork onto the plate. She quickly picked it up, but accidentally knocked over the knife. In her haste to grab the knife, she knocked over the wine glass.

In his flustered state, he didn't forget to nod repeatedly to cover up his guilty conscience, and answered Bubaji's questions with clumsy words.

"Of course...of course you can!"

"You know, that's what I teach."

"That's right. As long as I prepare in advance, I can foresee the young wizard's future to some extent..."

"I mean... part of the future, such as whether it's good or bad, lucky or unlucky..."

Bubaji had no doubt that it was fake.

She knew that Professor Trelawney's ancestor was Cassandra Trelawney, a very famous ancient Greek prophet!

As a descendant of that prophet, Professor Trelawney's divination and precognitive abilities are absolutely beyond doubt!

"That's fantastic!"

"If you have time later, how about we discuss this topic in more depth together?"

"Ah...this...it's my honor."

Trelawney reached up and adjusted her large glasses, which had slipped off her nose, silently planning how to get out of this mess.

Of all the professors, Professor McGonagall was the one most shocked by Elaine's actions.

At this moment, she stood beside Elaine, her eyes wide, her face flushed with excitement, and her breathing rapid.

Even she, who had been at Hogwarts for so many years, didn't know that Gryffindor was in the Sorting Hat.

And this young wizard before us, Elaine Yakut, not only knows this secret, but has even drawn the Gryffindor sword?!

He did something that no one had ever done since the founding of Hogwarts!

Merlin's beard!

This is simply... simply... insane!!

cough cough...

No, no, I need to pay attention to my image, maintain my elegance, and act like a professor!

"Everyone, quiet!!"

A clear, resonant voice, dignified yet tinged with suppressed excitement, echoed throughout the auditorium.

When Professor McGonagall spoke, the students gradually calmed down and returned to their seats.

"Mr. Weasley, please come down from the table!"

"That's not a place for you to dance!!"

Sensing the threatening gaze of their headmaster, the Weasley twins stopped wriggling, climbed off the table, and wiped their footprints with a napkin.

Once everyone had quieted down, Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore.

"professor?!"

Dumbledore seemed to have finally been awakened from his sleep by this call.

"Uh-huh……"

"A truly excellent speech, Mr. Eleven Yakut!"

"I look forward to your future! About..."

"Cough cough!!"

Professor McGonagall coughed lightly, reminding Dumbledore to be mindful of the implications.

Dumbledore: Received!

"Oh, as you can see, the sword in Mr. Yakut's hand is indeed the real Gryffindor sword!"

"Back then, before Godric Gryffindor left Hogwarts, he deliberately left his sword in the Sorting Hat, hoping that one day his students would face difficulties and this sword would be of help!"

"But to prevent the sword from being misused, Gryffindor placed a spell on the Sorting Hat so that only a true Gryffindor hero could draw it."

"Mr. Yakut has drawn the Gryffindor sword, which means he has earned the sword's approval and is a truly excellent wizard possessing the qualities of Gryffindor!"

"I'm so proud of him!"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he turned to look at Elaine.

"So, now..."

"Mr. Yakut, is your 'freshman speech' finished?"

"It's over, Professor."

"We can continue with the Sorting Ceremony."

Elaine planted the Gryffindor sword in the ground, a satisfied smile on his face.

Professor McGonagall's expression changed upon hearing this, and she quickly stepped forward: "I think we can stop here, Mr. Yakut. Since you've drawn the Gryffindor sword, you should naturally be a student of Gryffindor!"

"This is the last thing I want to hear, Professor McGonagall."

"I'm heartbroken. It seems you didn't take my words to heart."

Elaine clutched his chest, feigning deep sorrow.

Professor McGonagall: "...What do you mean?"

"Prejudice, Professor!"

Elaine said seriously, "You can't assume I'm a Gryffindor student just because I possess Gryffindor qualities."

"Who says a Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin can't also possess Gryffindor qualities?"

Judging a person solely based on a single quality or attitude towards a particular matter is undoubtedly quite hasty and unwise!

Professor McGonagall: "..."

That makes so much sense, I can't even refute it!

But is it reasonable to draw the Gryffindor sword and then not go to Gryffindor House? Is that reasonable?

If this gets out, who knows what people will say about Hogwarts.

They might think that Dumbledore, the headmaster, is incompetent and has poor judgment of character, and want to compare him with Fudge to see who is the most incompetent person in the wizarding world.

"Elevin..."

"That's enough, Minerva."

Professor McGonagall wanted to argue her point, but Dumbledore suddenly interrupted her.

"Professor Dumbledore?"

Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore in surprise.

Dumbledore shook his head at her: "Looks like we've all learned a lesson tonight."

"Our little wizard... Mr. Yakut, he's right."

"We shouldn't judge a person so hastily."

"This applies to both you and me."
