Chapter 22 Sorting Hat, I’ve brushed against you before (please

Professor McGonagall led the first-year students to the teacher's desk and asked them to line up in a row facing all the senior students. Rice could feel the teachers' eyes on them from behind. At this moment, all the students and ghosts in the school were also looking at them. Caught between thousands of eyes, many freshmen began to sweat from behind.

Not only did Les notice that the dome of the auditorium was unusual, but Hermione also looked up to observe the ceiling for a moment, and then she whispered: "The ceiling here has been enchanted and looks like the sky outside. I was in "Hogwarts, I read it in "A Piece of School History."

"Yes," Les agreed, "there is an extremely profound spell cast on the dome, which was cast by the four founders together. It can be consistent with the outside sky, and powerful wizards can also change the weather conditions on the dome. "

He squinted his eyes, looked at the dome and added: "If someone with ulterior motives enters the castle, the weather on the ceiling will also worsen."

"Really? It's never mentioned in the book!" Hermione was surprised. She didn't expect that the ceiling of the auditorium could have such an effect.

"If it's just an ordinary synchronized weather, then why bother the four founders to do it together? This is confidential, and only the principal and vice principal level know about it." Les said with a smile on his face, this was given by the four of them. One of the precious legacies left by future generations is part of the defense system of Hogwarts Castle.

"Then how did you know?"

Les:…

While Rhys and Hermione were chatting, Professor McGonagall walked up to them. The stern-faced witch holds a square stool in one hand and a pointed wizard hat in the other.

She gently placed the four-legged stool in front of the first years and placed the wizard's hat on the stool.

Les looked at the patched and tattered old hat with a complicated expression.

'Hell, no one has washed this hat in a thousand years? ’ He almost couldn’t resist the desire to complain. The thought of putting this hat on his head that had not been washed for hundreds of years gave him goosebumps.

It’s no wonder that the successor doesn’t dare to clean the sorting hat. If the hat is damaged, who will sort the new students?

The Sorting Hat, which carries the will of the four founders, has never assigned students to the wrong house. It is the embodiment of the will of the four founders. Not all of the succeeding principals have the ability to recreate the Sorting Hat, but the will of the four founders contained in the original Sorting Hat cannot be reproduced.

Over time, not clearing the sorting hat has become a Hogwarts tradition, inherited by generations of principals.

After the Sorting Hat was placed on the stool, a wide crack opened in the brim, and then the hat sang a song.

"...You may belong to Gryffindor, where there is bravery buried deep in the heart. Their courage, courage and boldness make Gryffindor outstanding..."

Les listened patiently to the Sorting Hat's song composed by himself. Needless to say, the lyrics rhyme quite a bit. I wonder which old friend’s handiwork allowed Hat to compose such a great song on his own.

"... Maybe you will enter Slytherin, maybe you will make sincere friends here, but those cunning and insidious people will use any means to achieve their goals!"

Les:? !

Why did he become a villain as soon as he arrived at Slytherin House? If things continue like this, damn it if Slytherin House gets a good reputation!

His eyes were full of disbelief, and he turned his head and spoke to Daphne who was standing next to him: "Can no one care about the Sorting Hat's arrangement of Slytherin House? The other three houses all said good things, but the result is Are we going to talk about such weird things as insidiousness and cunning in Slytherin House?"

He finally understood that since he left early, the other three people must have tampered with the hat after he left!

Can you be more neutral and objective? This is a sorting ceremony, can't you say something nice?

Daphne thought about it and felt that there was something wrong with the lyrics of the Sorting Hat, but it seemed to be true?

"It didn't lie either. Slytherin House has indeed given birth to many insidious and cunning people over the years. Since the appearance of a mysterious man, the school's reputation has become even worse."

Seeing that Daphne, a die-hard Slytherin House fan, felt that the Sorting Hat was not lying, Les couldn't help but sigh.

Why is the school's reputation so bad?

After waking up, Lesburn didn't have a clear goal. Now that he has one, he decides to reverse the reputation of Slytherin House.

At this time, Professor McGonagall held a roll of parchment in her hand and took a few steps forward.

"Whoever's name I call now will put on his hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the sorting," her voice echoed in the auditorium: "Hannah Abbott!"

One name after another came out of her mouth, and the queue in front of the staff table gradually narrowed.

Neville Longbottom was called forward.

There was silence for a while after the sorting hat was placed on his head. The hat seemed to have some conflicts with Neville, and it began to communicate with Neville. After Neville blushed and shook his head firmly, he called out the name Hufflepuff.

The Sorting Hat's decision did not surprise those who knew Neville. Isn't it normal for him to go to Hufflepuff?

If the conversation between the Sorting Hat and him was exposed, many people would be shocked - the Sorting Hat actually thought he could choose between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, and it was Neville who insisted on going to Hutch. Patch House, the Sorting Hat sorted him into Hufflepuff.

Hermione Granger and Daphne Greengrass are in front and behind each other. The Sorting Hat made the decision to sort Daphne into Slytherin almost as soon as it touched her head, but it was slower to decide on Hermione. A lot.

About three minutes later, the Sorting Hat sorted her into Ravenclaw House.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Les felt that the little girl winked at him before walking to the long table in Ravenclaw House.

Rice could tell that Hermione initially felt that Gryffindor was the best because of Dumbledore—she wanted to enter Gryffindor, perhaps because it was the best house. Now she can face her own heart and choose the college that suits her best, which makes Les very happy.

Gradually, the student's last name transitioned from "G" to Rice's "L"

"Les Lint!"

Seeing Professor McGonagall calling out his name, Rice walked over to the four-legged stool and sat down. Professor McGonagall walked towards him, and just as she was about to put the hat on his head, Les stretched out his hand to her, took the Sorting Hat from her hand, and put the hat on himself.

Hat, I don’t know if you still remember me. I even rubbed your body when you were a kid!

Before putting on his hat, a nasty thought suddenly flashed through Rice's mind.
