Chapter 23 Sorting Ceremony
·
Wo Bu Geng Xin
There is no imaginary feeling of being seen through, and there is no heavy pressure.The old man's eyes were kind and wise, and the smile on the corner of his mouth looked very gentle.
He caught Luke's gaze, then smiled and nodded at Luke.Luke did the same back.After all, now is not the time for them to greet each other with formal etiquette.
Professor McGonagall moved out a four-legged stool under the expectant and nervous eyes of all the little wizards, and put a pointed wizard hat that looked dirty and broken on it.
The auditorium was silent, the old students were looking forward to it, and the freshmen were anxious.
In such an atmosphere, the hat twisted and split a wide slit like a mouth.
Then he sang...
"You may think I'm not pretty,
But don't judge a book by its cover,
If you can find a more beautiful hat than mine,
I can eat myself.
……
You may belong to Gryffindor,
There is courage buried in the bottom of my heart,
Their courage, boldness and boldness,
Make Gryffindor stand out;
You may belong to Hufflepuff,
The people there are upright and faithful,
Hufflepuffs are stoic and honest,
Not afraid of hard work;
If you're smart,
Into wise old Ravenclaw, perhaps,
Those who are wise and learned,
Will always meet their fellows there;
Maybe you'll be in Slytherin,
Maybe you make a true friend here,
But those cunning and insidious people will do everything possible to
to achieve their goals.
Come put on me!Don't be afraid!
Never panic!
In my hands (although I don't even have a hand) you're safe
Because I am a thinking magic hat! "
To be honest, the moment the hat finished singing, Luke and Hermione beside him frowned almost instinctively.At the same time, thunderous applause also sounded in the auditorium.
"Always felt like this hat was the biggest Slytherin bastard."
Luke couldn't help but think in his own heart.What do you mean by "Those cunning and insidious people will do whatever it takes."
What made Luke feel even more helpless was that the students of the Snake Academy didn't seem to have any reaction after listening to this passage. Instead, they felt a little proud. Only a few people frowned at the content of the lyrics consciously or unconsciously Head, looking a little dissatisfied.
This made Luke feel that while he had a long way to go, he also felt that he could still find a few normal helpers in Slytherin...
He took a deep look at the hats that were bowing towards the four dining tables one by one, and seemed to be thinking about something very impolite.
Professor McGonagall stepped forward and looked at the crowd, holding a roll of parchment in his hand.
"Whoever's name I call now, put on the hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the sorting."
She glanced at the freshmen with sharp eyes, then unfolded the roll of parchment, and said.
"Hannah Abbott!"
Then, a little girl with a ruddy complexion and counting two golden braids stumbled out of the line and put on a hat.
A moment later, the Sorting Hat yelled, "Hufflepuff!"
There was applause from the Hufflepuff table, and the ghostly fat friar waved to her.
……
"Taylor Barbara!"
Under the gaze of everyone, a girl with ordinary clothes and long golden hair, but with her head bowed and her face covered by her hair, making it difficult to see her face, walked to the stool and put on the sorting hat.
Puzzlingly, the hat fell silent, as if caught in a tangle.
After about two or three minutes, when everyone was getting impatient waiting, the hat finally made a sound.
"Slytherin..."
Luke felt that the tone of the Sorting Hat could now be described as uncertain, or even doubtful.The sound is also much lower than before.
And the girl named Taylor took off the hat after she said it, and then walked towards the Slytherin dining table without looking energetic.
The Slytherins gave warm but restrained applause.Hogwarts will never be short of weirdos, not to mention keeping their heads down and not talking now, even students who haven't talked much to people for seven years have not never appeared.
And Luke looked at the girl suspiciously.In his impression, this girl did not appear in the original book.But he could vaguely feel that this girl might not be simple.
"Luke Gaunt!"
Professor McGonagall called out his name, so Luke came back to his senses and walked towards the stool.The atmosphere present seemed to make everything more dignified.The surname Gunter has many meanings.Noble, rich, fierce, terrible...
Not to mention those students who knew a little about it, even the teachers looked at Luke with more scrutiny in their eyes.
Especially Snape, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the child in front of him is most likely to go to Slytherin, which is the inertia of the Gaunt family.However, according to Professor McGonagall, the child in front of him seems to be a little different, and I don't know if this will become a factor that interferes with the choice of hat.
At the Slytherin dining table, a group of students even looked at Luke with burning eyes.They all know that the founder of the Slytherin house is the ancestor of the Gunter family, Salazar Slytherin.
Therefore, they are undoubtedly full of expectations for the arrival of a Gunter, and of course, scrutiny is indispensable.
Everyone could feel the strange atmosphere in the whole auditorium.This made Ron, Harry, and even Malfoy couldn't help showing envious expressions.
To be noticed by everyone, and to be the focus of everyone's eyes, isn't this what children of their age desire most?
Luke, on the other hand, has fulfilled this desire.
Luke picked up the hat and put it on his head.
A small voice came from the ear.
"You are such a peculiar child. You have the ambition to change the world, the courage to protect all good things, the wisdom beyond ordinary people, and the indomitable heart. I am very entangled, child."
And Luke said directly in his mind: "I'm going to Slytherin."
"You don't have to make a decision so quickly, child, think calmly, I know you have Slytherin blood in you. But I can also feel the breath and talent in you that is similar to my master. You are very similar, you and They're both very similar."
This silenced Luke for a moment.To be honest, he froze for a moment. He felt that whether it was ambition or blood, it basically showed that he and Slytherin were naturally bound.
But the hat suddenly said that he was very similar to his master, and it was still analyzed from the aspects of breath and talent.The owner of this hat is Godric Gryffindor...
But after a while, Luke said firmly again: "Slytherin!"
The hat was silent for a long time: "This makes me feel that you two are more alike."
"However, since you insist..."
"Slytherin!"
With a shout from the hat, there was a huge cheer and applause from the Slytherin table.Even Dean Snape was clapping his hands lightly, but a trace of caution flashed in his eyes.
Just when Luke was about to take off his hat, the sound of the hat came again from his ear.
"I can feel your dissatisfaction with me, boy. But as far as I know, Slytherin House is the way it is now. If you don't like it, then try to change it."
Luke paused, smiled, and spoke in his mind.
"That's exactly what I'm going to do."
He caught Luke's gaze, then smiled and nodded at Luke.Luke did the same back.After all, now is not the time for them to greet each other with formal etiquette.
