Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy Chapter 25: Hat
Wright jumped off the four-legged stool, then put the sorting hat in his arms, and then again began to apologize to the surroundings.
Professor McGonagall, standing next to Wright, opened his mouth wide. She was still expecting that the boy would not cause trouble in the sorting process. But what happened just now?
A freshman took off the sorting cap and covered his mouth?
Merlin’s beard!
Professor McGonagall felt that he seemed to be a little unsteady on his feet.
"Hat, I know you can think!" While apologizing to the students on the four long tables, Wright whispered from the edge of the hat, "I will not try to manipulate your thoughts, but I hope you can Think carefully!"
Wright bowed to the teacher's bench at last, and then sat back on the stool.
The hall was quiet again, and everyone's eyes were on Wright, except for Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall did not go to see Wright, but instead looked at the teacher’s seat behind her. She felt that she could not bear the trouble just now. Come again, she only hopes that the child will be assigned to Gryffindor , Because that largely means that I may never see my academy win the Academy Cup in the next seven years;
Dumbledore was sitting on the huge golden chair in the middle of the teacher’s seat, with a funny smile on his face, his blue eyes carefully looking at Wright behind the half-moon lens. It seems that there is no problem with Wright's move just now.
Trelawney leaned over and stared at Wright closely. Her third eye told her that the boy who was waiting for the sorting house might come to Hogwarts with some disaster; Professor Flitwick looked curiously Looking at Wright, Hagrid was as curious as his expression; Quirrell, the professor of Muggle Studies, seemed to be thinking something, and did not pay much attention to the unfinished sorting ceremony.
Professor Sprout had a serious expression, while Snape had a cold face. It seemed that he was extremely dissatisfied with Wright's rejection of Slytherin College.
took a deep breath before Wright put on the Sorting Hat again.
"Oh my god. It has never happened before." In Wright's ear, a small voice rang, "You hurt me just now, kid."
"Sorry," Wright said silently in his heart.
There is no doubt that the Sorting Hat can hear Wright's voice.
"Well, I forgive your rudeness." The Sorting Hat responded in Wright's heart, "After all, I can't do anything to you, except to assign you to the college you don't like, haha. "
Wright doesn’t know what to say, so I can only repeat it again. I’m sorry.
"But don't you like Slytherin so much?" the Sorting Hat asked Wright.
"It's not that I don't like Slytherin," Wright pursed his lips, "I just don't want to go there."
"Well, generally speaking, I will take the initiative to sort out the children. But occasionally I will listen to the opinions of the children and assign them to the college they want to go to."
"So, can you take the initiative to make a decision in the Sorting Hat? Or do you already have self-awareness?" Wright asked suddenly.
The Sorting Hat suddenly fell silent.
The entire hall also remained silent for nearly a minute, and then everyone began to whisper.
"What's wrong, why doesn't the sorting cap move?"
"I don't know, maybe the boy named Wright just broke it?"
"Don’t talk nonsense, the sorting hat has gone through nearly a thousand years, how could it break because it was held in the arms."
"Then what's going on now?"
"Maybe this kid is a ‘hat embarrassment’!"
"'Hat embarrassed'? Are you talking like Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick?"
"Professor Flitwick was only close to the hat, he did not stay under the sorting hat for five minutes. Professor McGonagall is the real hat, she wears the sorting hat for five and a half minutes!"
"Sorry, what do you mean by embarrassment?" A freshman who had just been sorted out looked at the seniors who were discussing in a puzzled manner.
"The hat is an old term used to describe a class of students in our school." A senior senior took a look at the freshman and explained to him, "Generally speaking, when a student’s branch If the process takes more than five minutes, then this student will be embarrassed."
"But true hat embarrassment is rare. It only appears once in fifty years, just like Professor McGonagall.” The senior senior added, “People who are close to hat embarrassment will be more common. Professor Liwei is close to the hat embarrassment."
"Will Wright be embarrassed?" the freshman continued to ask.
"I don't know, let's look down now!"
……
Almost two minutes passed, the sorting cap remained motionless, and the noise in the hall became louder and louder.
"Quiet!" Professor McGonagall cast a loud voice to himself, and then shouted to the students in the hall.
The messy hall was quiet for a moment, but then there was a slight voice.
Wright, who was staying under the sorting cap, also spent this somewhat difficult three minutes. He was closing his eyes tightly at this time, and his nose was slightly sweaty. This is the rare few times that he was watched by the audience, and Wright felt a little nervous.
"No one has ever asked me this question, never." The sorting hat twisted suddenly, and the small voice rang in Wright's ear again.
"So you think clearly?" Wright sighed inwardly, "About your self-awareness?"
"Yes, I should have no self-awareness."
"Should it be?"
"Yes!" said the Sorting Hat~IndoMTL.com~ I can hear that it is a little happy now, "I have been in charge of sorting the children for nearly a thousand years, and I have accumulated a lot of memory because of this. , But nothing more."
"Sorry, how did you accumulate memories?" Wright couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it is the mind of the goddess, my body is solidified with this magic." The Sorting Hat said, "Don't interrupt me now, listen to me."
Wright fell silent immediately.
"Although I have a lot of memories, my ability to think is mainly borrowed from children wearing hats." The Sorting Hat said, "In essence, I am a mirror, just like Eris The mirror is almost the same, although you may not know the broken mirror. It is not me who sorted the children's hospital, but the children themselves sorted the hospital."
"The vast majority of children don’t care if I am self-aware, and only you have asked me this question for thousands of years."
"And the moment you asked this question, I suddenly became self-aware."
It took a while for right to understand the meaning of the sorting hat, but he doesn't care about it now, he feels that he has been under the hat long enough.
"So can you sort me out now?"
"Well, which college do you want to go to?" said the Sorting Hat, "I still insist on assigning you to Slytherin."
"Ravenclaw." Wright said his thoughts.
"Well, then go..."
"Ravenclaw!" The hat shouted out Wright's decision.
"I have many other things I want to tell you. If you are free, you can come to the principal's office on the eighth floor to find me." He said.
