Chapter 19 Hufflepuff
It's been too long. This is what everyone in the auditorium feels now. A full twenty minutes have passed.
The Sorting Hat never gave Carl's sorting result. The auditorium was originally quiet due to fatigue and hunger.
At this moment, people began to get restless and started discussing which college Carl would be assigned to.
The two Weasley brothers, of course, hoped that the other would be sorted into Gryffindor. After all, Carl had an incredible talent for pranks.
If I were assigned to another college, it would be a waste of talent.
Malfoy also hoped that the other party would be sorted into Slytherin, even though the other party was not a pure-blood wizard, but he had heard from his father that he was.
The surname Hohenzollern is particularly noble in the Muggle world, and he had heard the other party's name from his father before.
It is said that he has considerable influence in the wizarding world, and his father has been busy with the Wizard Cornucopia Financial Fund recently.
He owns shares of the other party and is said to be the major shareholder.
He's handsome, rich, and of noble birth. He's also helped me a lot. It's not impossible to make an exception and allow him to join Slytherin.
The little witches of Ravenclaw also look forward to Carl joining their college. After all, he is a cute little brother like an angel.
The sisters still want to show some love.
As for Hufflepuff, aside from Cedric, not many people seemed to care.
As the little badgers grew hungrier, their eyes were fixed on the food.
What a genius branch, it's not as important as having a meal.
Finally, after half an hour of waiting, the Sorting Hat suddenly shouted loudly.
"Hufflepuff!!"
There was a dead silence followed by a uniform exclamation. The entire auditorium was in an uproar. Even the professors on the stage began to whisper to each other.
Everyone was surprised at this result. Professor Snape was particularly shocked and looked at Dumbledore who was even more surprised.
Looking at Carl, he took off his hat and nodded to him before running towards the Hufflepuff table.
Dumbledore could only respond with an awkward smile, and at the same time made a decision in his heart after returning to the headmaster's office.
Be sure to have a good talk with the Sorting Hat, 'warm and friendly'.
"This way!!"
Cedric stood up and greeted them enthusiastically. The Hufflepuff classmates, though shocked, gave Carl a warm round of applause.
A classmate even made room for him so that he could sit with Cedric.
As soon as he sat down, Cedric immediately spoke excitedly.
"You are amazing. You always exceed my expectations. You lasted for a full half hour and broke the highest record of Hogwarts in a thousand years."
"So how long did it take you?" Carl asked curiously.
"Me? Less than three seconds. I remember I just put the hat on and the Sorting Hat called out Hufflepuff."
Carl gave a thumbs up, looked at the complacent Cedric, and praised him.
"That's amazing, you really are the fastest man in Hogwarts."
"Of course."
The two of them were communicating passionately, but the Hufflepuff classmates beside them were much colder.
But it’s not because they were not enthusiastic, it’s just that they all hugged their stomachs and stared at the food in front of them with one eye shining.
The other eye was fixed on the principal on the stage, waiting for the other party's order to start spinning immediately.
Dumbledore stood up with a smile on his face, seemingly not bothered by what happened before, and opened his arms.
Shouted happily.
"Welcome everyone to Hogwarts. We have welcomed many lovely new students, although one of them surprised everyone."
"But there is nothing more joyful than being together with you."
"Before the banquet begins, I have a few final words to say. Please bear with me for a moment."
"That's it, idiot! Crybaby! Scum! Twist!"
"thank you all!"
As soon as Dumbledore sat down, the hall burst into applause.
Carl, who was sitting in his seat, could guarantee that the applause this time was sincere, at least for the Hufflepuff students.
The students pounced on the food in front of them like hungry wolves pouncing on a flock of sheep.
You have to know that due to the presence of Harry Potter and Carl, this sorting ceremony can be said to be the longest in history.
After nearly two hours of waiting, the little badgers' eyes were already glowing with excitement.
Roast beef, roast chicken, honey-glazed pork chops, braised lamb chops, British sausages, mashed potatoes, French fries, and honey pudding.
There are also various vegetables, gravy, sauces, and even mints to relieve the greasiness. It is really thoughtful.
The wide variety of dishes is definitely a rich variety for the UK, which is known as a food desert.
Even Carl was shocked, but just when he picked up a grilled chicken leg dipped in sauce and was about to enjoy it.
In my mind, that annoying voice sounded again.
[Congratulations to the host, you have completed the task of leading your own branch, and are rewarded with 100% soul-reading shielding]
[At the same time, the main task of the next stage is released, the devil in the academy, in the next learning process. ]
[As long as the host violates school rules, insults professors, and tortures classmates, he will receive corresponding points as rewards. ]
[Including but not limited to, torture of the soul, exploitation of the wallet, and tremendous mental pressure. ]
Looking at the text in his mind, Karl's face twitched rapidly, and this time he had no intention of being a good person.
So he retorted bluntly.
"Isn't this a bit too much? If I continue like this, my reputation will probably be worse than Voldemort's."
[Wrong, the demon king that the host wants to become is definitely not the kind of psychopath who only uses violence. ]
[It must be a well-rounded bad guy, just like what he did before, he did bad things and someone else took the blame. ]
[It would be best if the victim thanked you. If so, it will trigger a double reward and let these people see your true colors. ]
[Go and exploit them ruthlessly, hehehe!!]
Seeing that the dog system had gone completely crazy, Carl didn't want to argue, but just woke up silently in his mind.
Using the memory palace, he automatically blocked out the perverted laughter, and then began to enjoy his food.
At the same time, I also began to consider how to complete the tasks of the dog system.
Yes, criticism is still necessary, but after the criticism, things still have to go on as they should.
However, the suggestions made by the dog system and the torture of the soul are a bit too perverted.
The huge mental pressure seemed to make him feel a little bit unbearable.
After choosing and choosing, it seems that there is only one choice left, and that is the exploitation of the wallet.
Just as he was thinking about something, a soft voice pulled him back to reality.
"Mr. Hohenzollern, could you get me two milk puddings?"
Carl turned his head and saw the Iron-hat King, who was sitting one seat away, staring at him eagerly.
He quickly handed the pudding to the other party like a gentleman and said with a smile.
"Just call me Carl. You're cute, Hannah."
These words made the little girl's face turn red all of a sudden, and her two pigtails swung back and forth, making her look very cute.
After taking the pudding with both hands, he immediately started eating it like an ostrich.
[Tease the ignorant girl, add 10 points]
