Chapter 51 Debate

In the principal's office, because of Professor Snape's words, the whole office became quiet again, and the atmosphere became even lower.

After a while, Professor Sprout opened his mouth with some deliberation, and said in a low voice, "But... that kid Cowen is different from that person."

"What's the difference?" Professor Snape's emotions still did not return to calm. Hearing this, he immediately said, "Is it different in appearance? Or is it different in age?"

"No, I mean..." Professor Sprout waved his hand and turned to look at Professor McGonagall: "At least, Little Cowan is a Gryffindor, not a Slytherin, sorry Severus, I didn't mean that..."

Snape, who was also from Slytherin, shook his head slightly to show that he didn't care, but retorted: "People from other academies have also had many scumbags. Perhaps, being born in Gryffindor is just right for his 'inside and out' Different' put on a perfect cover."

At this moment, Flitwick turned to look at a showcase in the office, where the Sorting Hat was quietly displayed.

After hesitating, Professor Flitwick spoke up and said in a tangled tone: "I have something to explain. Of course, I still believe in Xiao Kewen."

"Felius, please speak." Dumbledore said softly.

"About the branch." Professor Flitwick said hesitantly: "Actually, Kewen's quality is suitable for all colleges, but in the end, Kewen himself decided to go to Gryffindor."

Then, Professor Flitwick explained what he had asked the Sorting Hat about at the Cowan Branch.

Everyone was surprised when they heard it.

"Understood?" Professor Snape was even more excited: "He's a Slytherin too!"

"Okay Severus!" Professor McGonagall finally couldn't help speaking, frowning and said, "Don't forget, you dean of Slytherin, the Sorting Hat decides who goes to Slytherin based on the blood of the students. , not quality!"

"I think it must be quality!" Snape stubbornly retorted: "There are still a lot of mixed races in Slytherin, at least I am!"

"Albus?" Professor McGonagall sighed, then turned to seek Dumbledore's opinion.

Seeing this, Dumbledore nodded slightly and said softly, "I still agree with Minerva, but let's listen to what the Sorting Hat has to say."

When the words fell, Dumbledore waved his hand to the display cabinet, causing the display cabinet to automatically open, and the sorting hat inside quickly flew to the Dean's desk.

Then, Dumbledore tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

"Um..." The Sorting Hat seemed to have just woken up, and the folds on the hat began to twist, forming the shape of eyes and mouth, and yawned while squirming.

"Oh? What's wrong?" The Sorting Hat saw the scene in the office and said in surprise, "Did something major happen?"

"It's like this." Dumbledore gave a general overview of the situation, and then said: "We need to hear what you have to say about what happened to your test of Cowen Quinn at that time."

"Cowen Quinn? Oh, I remember him, I remember it very clearly." The Sorting Hat immediately came to his senses when he heard the words: "That child is the most special I have ever seen, and you can never imagine that his quality is so high It has exceeded the limit of the admission standards of the four colleges!"

"What are the testing standards for Slytherin House?" Snape asked immediately. "On what basis did you judge that he could be assigned to Slytherin?"

"Slytherin, um, I remember." The Sorting Hat twisted the tip of her hat and turned around, looking at Snape and replied, "I judged based on the bloodline standard, the child's bloodline is very noble, as for how A noble, I don't know, but the magic in me tells me so."

Hearing this, except for Professor Snape, everyone else secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"But..." Unexpectedly, the Sorting Hat still has something to say: "But the magic on me still tells me,

That kid is going to have great things in the future, that's why I say, that kid has reached the limit of all college admissions standards. "

"Is our Gryffindor standard for bravery?" Professor McGonagall asked immediately.

"Of course." The Sorting Hat nodded and turned to look at each professor: "The standard, as you know, has never changed."

Without waiting for Professor McGonagall to breathe a sigh of relief, Snape continued to sip without giving up: "The Sorting Hat said 'great achievement'! What achievement? That person also made great achievements!"

"Severus, you are too aggressive today." Professor Sprout softly reassured: "Didn't you listen carefully to what the Sorting Hat said? Little Kewen has the highest quality of all colleges, even if you don't care about Grant Fendor quality, but you should also think about what our Hufflepuff quality is."

"Of course." The Sorting Hat interjected, and said in a relaxed tone: "Integrity, loyalty, honesty, and fearlessness, Cowen Quinn has these qualities too, if it wasn't for the fact that I said Hufflepuff was in the basement, I'm afraid Corvin Quinn's first choice is Hufflepuff, I remember he was very interested in the kitchen."

"Ah, that's such a pity." Professor Sprout sighed, shaking his head amusingly.

"Yeah, it's a pity." Professor Flitwick also interjected to ease the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Little Kewen is good everywhere, but he is a little disgusted and troublesome. The reason why he didn't choose us Ravenclaw was actually because The problem of disgusting door knockers is too troublesome haha.”

"You..." Snape was a little helpless, his chest heaving, and he said stubbornly for a long time: "Don't get the focus of your attention wrong! You should pay attention to the danger of that Cowen Quinn! You should pay attention to the inside and outside of his appearance. Different performance!"

"He has great strength at a young age, and he has already reached this level in just over a month! Also, he doesn't look like a child's mature performance!"

"If it hadn't been for Dumbledore's reminder, who would have found him to be inconsistent? Even I felt that he was the most innocent one when he faced us in the afternoon!"

"He was attacked by Death Eaters." Professor McGonagall answered and said solemnly, "Before the school year, that child was always trembling. I have been in contact with him several times, and I can see it!"

"I think it's me. I'm afraid I'll be wary of the surrounding environment and hide my true emotions! Maybe he's used to this, so he only behaves in the afternoon."

Speaking of which, Professor McGonagall solemnly concluded: "He is naturally opposed to the Death Eaters!"

When the others heard the words, they completely relaxed. Only Snape was still a little unwilling, but his emotions were not so excited anymore...
