Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 33 An Unexpected Incident at the Sorting Ceremony

"Hufflepuff!"

The hat lingered on the little girl named Hannah's head for only a moment before quickly giving the sorting result.

At that moment, the young wizards at the rightmost table among the four long tables immediately stood up, clapping and cheering to welcome the little girl named Hannah to Hufflepuff.

"Susan Bornes! Hufflepuff!"

"Terry Booth! Ravenclaw!"

"Hermione Granger!"

After the Sorting Hat sorted out seven or eight wizards, Hermione's name was finally called out by the Sorting Hat.

"come on!"

Amid Jerry's cheers, Hermione jogged up to the stage.

"Gryffindor!"

The Sorting Hat hesitated for a moment, but as if sensing something, it finally called out Gryffindor.

Hermione happily ran towards the Gryffindor table on the far left, which was filled with applause and laughter.

"Jerry Carmen!"

Hermione had just finished distributing the papers when Professor McGonagall blurted out Jerry's name.

He straightened his wizard robes, walked unhurriedly to the podium, picked up the Sorting Hat, and put it on his head.

"I want a share."

Jerry was just about to tell the Sorting Hat, like Harry did in the movies, that he wanted to be sorted into Gryffindor, when the Sorting Hat announced the sorting result the instant it touched his hair:

"Slytherin!"

"Slytherin? Wow, f***ing!"

Upon hearing the Sorting Hat's result, Jerry felt as if a thousand alpacas were stampeding through his mind. He felt that all the plans he had made beforehand had been completely shattered after the Sorting Hat's announcement.

Somewhat stiffly, Jerry removed the Sorting Hat. Seeing Professor McGonagall's regretful expression beside him, Jerry reluctantly walked towards the Slytherin table in the second row on the right.

Meanwhile, Hermione, sitting at the Gryffindor table, looked disappointed when she saw that Jerry had been sorted into the Slate class.

She really wanted to be sorted into Gryffindor with Jerry, but fate played a cruel trick on her, and this rare and exceptionally compatible friend was sorted into Slytherin by the Sorting Hat.

But she still forced herself to suppress her disappointment and waved to Jerry over there.

Because she knew that Jerry actually wanted to be sorted into Gryffindor, but now he was sorted into Slytherin, which must have made him very sad.

You can tell from his stiff expression just now.

"How did Jerry end up in Slytherin? Every wizard who went astray came from Slytherin!"

Ron, who hadn't yet been sorted into a house, saw Jerry being sorted into Slytherin and said to Harry in disbelief.

"Jerry isn't a bad guy. Don't forget, he even taught that Malfoy guy a lesson on the train!"

Although Harry didn't have a good impression of Slytherin because of Ron's indoctrination, it didn't stop him from being very grateful to Jerry for his chivalrous help on the train.

So even though Jerry was sorted into Slytherin, he still felt that Jerry couldn't possibly be a bad person.

"Oh, I know. I don't think Jerry is a bad person. I just think the Sorting Hat seems to have sorted him into the wrong place. Jerry should have been sorted into Gryffindor!"

Ron shrugged.

Just then, Malfoy, who was standing on the podium, was also sorted into Slytherin by the Sorting Hat.

Seeing this, Harry couldn't help but nod. Slytherin should be suited for someone like Malfoy.

"Why Slytherin? That doesn't make sense!"

Sitting at the Slytherin table, Jerry was no longer in the mood to watch the Sorting Ceremony. Instead, he frowned and began to ponder why the Sorting Hat had instantly determined that he was a Slytherin.

After carefully recalling all the things he had said about Slater, he gradually began to understand.

The most basic requirement for entering Slytherin is that one must be either a pure-blood or a half-blood, meaning either both parents must be wizards, or at least one parent must be a wizard.

Wizards whose parents are Muggles, such as Hermione, would never be sorted into Slytherin, no matter how outstanding they are.

Then look at Jerry. Who are Jerry's parents in this world?

That doesn't exist at all. His body is a strange panel brought from the main Marvel universe, and the wizard bloodline in his body was obtained by exchanging Little Red Star.

Therefore, Jerry guessed that the wizard bloodline he exchanged for with the little red star might be the purest and oldest wizard bloodline.

After all, the Strange Panel was able to bring him from the Marvel world to the Harry Potter world, so there's no reason why the wizard bloodline he exchanged for should be a mixed one.

It's not that being mixed-race is bad, but he personally feels that pure-blooded wizards should have a higher potential for growth than mixed-race wizards, for example, they would have more magic power than their peers.

Because the top Dumbledore and Grindelwald seem to be purebloods.

Of course, true strength depends primarily on one's understanding and application of magic; minor advantages in magical power are insignificant.

Voldemort, Snape, and Professor McGonagall were all half-bloods, yet they were still incredibly powerful, especially Voldemort, who was second only to Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

Actually, Hermione is also considered mixed-race, just perhaps not with such a high concentration of mixed blood.

Jerry believed that any wizard born into a Muggle family must have had a wizard in one of their parents' ancestors, but the wizarding bloodline in their descendants had simply not awakened.

Analyzing their personalities further, the characteristics of Slytherin wizards, as seen by outsiders, are arrogance, great ambition, cunning, and a love of vying for power and profit.

Jerry felt he didn't fit any of these criteria.

However, after careful consideration, he realized that interpreting Slytherin in that way seemed too one-sided.

Perhaps a comment about Slytherin that he once saw online by chance is quite fitting for his current situation.

The review mentioned that the person who truly represents Slytherin is Professor Slughorn, who appeared in the sixth year.

They pursue fame and fortune, and enjoy recruiting celebrities as students, but they would never intentionally harm others. They formed the "Snotty Club," but it was a mutually beneficial partnership with outstanding students, achieving a win-win situation.

He supports the theory of bloodline, but he is not a mindless advocate. He also greatly admires Hermione, who is Muggle-born but very outstanding, and Lily, Harry's mother.

She is very intelligent and knows how to assess situations to ensure that her own interests are not harmed, but she also has her own bottom line. In the final battle, as a Slytherin, she firmly stood on the side of Hogwarts.

Therefore, Slytherin should be a self-interested person with a bottom line, a selfish person who would not intentionally harm others.

If you look at it this way, it seems to match up a bit with him who was reborn!

His pure-blood lineage, coupled with his most authentic personality and his highly purposeful actions—was this why the Sorting Hat classified him as a Slytherin?
