HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Dumbledore looked quietly at Professor McGonagall.

"Mr. Yakut did indeed draw the Gryffindor sword just now, proving his 'courage'."

"But you heard what he just said; isn't someone with such lofty ideals quite typical of Slytherin?"

"Upon closer reflection, the phrase 'fitting Slytherin' seems to carry some outdated prejudice."

"Although I also hope that Mr. Yakut can go to Gryffindor, the Hogwarts tradition is that which house a young wizard goes to is determined by the Sorting Hat, not by whether he can pull out the sword of Gryffindor."

"Whether this tradition is truly a 'breeding ground for prejudice' and needs to be changed, let's at least respect tradition for now."

Dumbledore said, looking at Elaine.

Let's call it a day, can't you see everyone's hungry?

Elivin understood immediately and put on the Sorting Hat.

"certainly!"

"Of course I will respect tradition, Professor!"

The sound of the Sorting Hat reaching Elaine's ears the moment it was put on.

"Little wizard, your speech was quite brilliant, and your ideas were very... unique. I mean, I don't dislike them."

Really? I thought you would be angry because of what I just said.

"Oh no, of course not! I'm an old hat that's been around for over a thousand years, why would I get angry with an eleven-year-old like you?"

That sounds pretty sarcastic, looks like you're still angry!

"I said no, and that's final. The Hogwarts Hat doesn't lie to Hogwarts people!"

Alright, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and assign me to a department. I'm quite curious to know what kind of class I am in your eyes.

"No problem, but it may take a little time."

"Hmm...it's very, very difficult..."

Where is the difficulty?

"I can barely access your memories, but thankfully I can sense a little bit of emotion, otherwise I really wouldn't know where to begin. Are you a naturally closed-minded person? Although I don't seem to have ever heard of such a wizard..."

Unable to read someone's mind?

Elivin pondered for a few seconds, then realized that this must be the passive defensive effect of his 'Memory Magic'.

"Mmm..."

"First of all, there is no doubt that you possess perfect Gryffindor qualities."

"They are bold and decisive, with an extremely strong will, and are not afraid of the consequences of their actions!"

"At the same time, you also have considerable ambitions and lofty ideals of changing the magical world."

"From that perspective, you would also be a good fit for Slytherin."

"You have a great thirst for knowledge about the magical world, and you are also very loyal and fair."

"Be extremely loyal to your heart, say what you want to say, do what you want to do, fight if you disagree, and back down if you can't win."

"Repay kindness with kindness, and repay injustice with justice."

"Do as you please, but do not overstep the bounds of propriety."

"Be generous with your kindness and compassion to everyone, but do not ignore the sins they have committed. At the same time, when faced with a real choice, you can be ruthless to everyone."

"Once we determine that something is unfair, we will take action, regardless of existing laws or the opinions of others."

"In your eyes, everyone only has one life, and if they are killed, they die; it's all equal."

"etc!"

Something's not right!

The Sorting Hat suddenly screamed in Elaine's mind.

"Merlin's beard!"

"This can't be considered loyalty or fairness at all!!"

Elaine thought the Sorting Hat was being a bit too verbose: "You've rambled on and on, have you even come to a conclusion yet?"

He hadn't expected that the Sorting Hat would also be a source of ridicule.

"The conclusion is that your qualities are very well-rounded, making you a good fit for any college!"

"It seems you'll have to make the decision yourself."

In that case, let's go to Hufflepuff.

"Are you sure? You've pulled out the Gryffindor sword! Even if you don't want to go to Gryffindor, you can go to Ravenclaw!"

Why not mention Slytherin?

The Sorting Hat (evil): You think I would do something that would embarrass Godric, sending a wizard who pulled out the sword of Gryffindor to Slytherin?

In fact, Elaine already had the answer in his heart regarding which college to attend.

Slytherin's environment is bad, so pass!

The atmosphere in Ravenclaw is bad, pass!

Gryffindor was originally considered, but Hufflepuff was more suitable for future development.

After all, there are many people and talented individuals there, and most of them are easy to get along with and easy to fool.

Another reason is that he had just given such a brilliant speech, trying to get the people of Hogwarts to abandon their prejudices, and even asked to wear the Sorting Hat while drawing the Gryffindor sword. If he ended up going to Gryffindor anyway, wouldn't all of that have been a waste of time?

"Alright, since you've already made your decision, I have no choice but to respect your decision."

"Hufflepuff!!!"

The sound of the sorting cap echoed throughout the auditorium.

The entire hall erupted in uproar once again—the young wizards had lost count of how many times they had been in a frenzy that night.

"Merlin!! What did I just hear?!"

"I can't believe it, he really didn't go to Gryffindor!!"

Harry's face was filled with bitterness and disappointment: "I thought he would come to Gryffindor too..."

Ron's eyes were filled with resentment: "He's like a traitor!"

Although the Weasley twins felt regret, they accepted the outcome calmly.

"He really does everything unexpectedly!"

"At least Professor McGonagall won't have to worry about having another troublemaker in the school."

As they spoke, they both looked at Professor McGonagall, only to find that their beloved professor had no eyes, looked dejected, and seemed to have aged ten years.

"George, did you see that?"

"Professor McGonagall seems very sad."

"So, what should we do next to cheer her up?"

"Great idea!"

Malfoy stared at Elaine on the stage in disbelief.

"He wasn't sorted into Slytherin? That's impossible!"

"Why didn't someone with such lofty ideals come to Slytherin, but instead went to Hufflepuff instead..."

At this point, he suddenly remembered what Elaine had said earlier, and quickly shut his mouth, changing the subject.

"It must have been the Sorting Hat that did it!"

"It's biased against Slytherin, so it deliberately prevents Eleanor from coming to Slytherin."

Thinking of this, Malfoy clenched his fists tightly.

Hermione's eyes widened in disbelief at the result.

However, she didn't say anything about the Sorting Hat having ulterior motives; she just felt that Elaine must have seen something she hadn't.

Elaine...

Where exactly are this person's eyes gazing?

If he really does break the Secret Service Act, whose side should I stand on?

If the wizarding world were to go to war with the Muggle world in the future, what choice would I make?
