Chapter 9 The Sorting Hat
"You may think I'm not pretty,"
"But never judge a book by its cover,"
"If you can find a hat prettier than mine,"
"I can eat myself."
…………
As Professor Minerva McGonagall announced the official start of the sorting ceremony, the dirty and old hat on the high table suddenly moved, and in the eyes of Harry and the others, the hat twisted for a while, and then split a piece The wide slit, like a mouth, began to hum.
Harry and the others stared wide-eyed. After being shocked, they were full of curiosity.
Is this really an old, rotten hat?
Why does he sing so beautifully?
After the hat sang the song, there was thunderous applause in the auditorium.
Ronald applauded vigorously, and at the same time he was a little angry, saying: "Fred, that damn liar, he actually said that when we were sorted, we needed to pass a very dangerous test, which would cause great harm to us. to kill him."
Harry smiled and said, "Ronald, I think you should act."
The applause was too hard, Ronald felt a little heartbroken about his hand, quickly put it away, and said solemnly: "I will definitely act."
The hat was happy like a gentleman, and hurriedly bowed to the surroundings one by one.
"Thank you, thank you, your applause is my motivation."
"I thought I could go on to dedicate a poem to you."
…………
"I will never admit the union of two true hearts,"
"There will be any obstacle, and love is not true love,"
"If you turn the rudder as soon as you see people change,"
"Or leave as soon as you see someone turning a corner,"
"Oh, never! Love is an everlasting beacon."
…………
Harry and the others were a little surprised when they heard the Sorting Hat singing happily.
However, little girls like Hermione are obsessed girls in love.
"What beautiful poetry!" Hermione said enchantedly.
"This hat is so interesting, I really want it to sing more such beautiful poems for me every day." A little girl said adoringly.
"I want it too. I believe that Mr. Hat must be a very gentlemanly poet and gentleman."
Professor McGonagall's serious face was a little flustered at this moment, especially after seeing the performance of these children, he immediately felt very ashamed.
No, it was the hat that had suddenly become so indecisive that it was a disgrace.
Dumbledore looked at the Sorting Hat in astonishment: Are you still that much Sorting Hat? Where is your nobility? Have you been eaten by a dog?
The corners of Kate Lyle's mouth curled up slightly, and the smile in her eyes was not concealed in the slightest.
This sorting hat is a little different from the impression!
He even knows poetry!
"Shut up!" Professor McGonagall stretched out his hand, pressed down the Sorting Hat that continued to sing, and said with a serious face.
The Sorting Hat writhed, tried to struggle, but finally had to succumb to McGonagall's majesty.
Professor McGonagall immediately looked at the first-year freshmen, took out a roll of parchment, and said, "Whoever's name I call now, put on a hat, sit on a stool, and wait for the sorting."
"Hannah Abbott!"
Among the freshmen, a little girl with a ruddy complexion and two golden braids walked out of the queue nervously, sat on a chair, and put on the sorting hat.
The hat was a little too big, almost covering her big cute and somewhat nervous eyes.
After a while, the Sorting Hat opened its mouth and said, "Hufflepuff!"
The people at the table on the right, after hearing the Sorting Hat read the name of the college, immediately waved happily to Hannah Abbott, and welcomed her very warmly to sit down.
"Susan Burns!"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Terry Boot!"
"Ravenclaw!"
…………
"Malfoy!"
With self-confidence and the dignity of a pure-blood, Malfoy walked onto the stage, put on his hat, and cast his gaze at Harry, Ronald, and Hermione. In his gaze, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, a bit sinister.
However, I have to say that Malfoy at this time is really handsome, at least some little girls think so at this time.
Ronald curled his lips at this, and then he didn't look at Malfoy.
"Slytherin!" The Sorting Hat said after pondering slightly.
Malfoy got his wish.
Because his father came from Slytherin.
Therefore, Malfoy was very satisfied, and returned to Crabbe and Goyle, then looked at Harry again, and said, "Harry, you should come to Slytherin, we are the same kind of people."
Apparently, Malfoy was still a little attached to Harry.
It's not Malfoy's fault, because Harry's parents are still very famous. Children born in pure-blood families like Malfoy have an established sense that they need to be together, stand in a line, and look down on others .
"Thank you for your kindness, Malfoy, I just hope we don't become enemies." Harry turned Malfoy back.
Malfoy was a little unhappy when he heard the words, Calaboo and Goyle were also very dissatisfied with Harry's answer, and wanted to bully Harry, but were stopped by Malfoy.
"We need a gentleman. I believe he will understand the noble status of our pure-blood magicians."
Harry ignored Malfoy's words, because more and more people were divided into houses.
Ronald entered Gryffindor as he wished,
As Professor McGonagall continued to pronounce the names, and the Sorting Hat continued to pronounce the names of the houses, Hermione Granger was successfully assigned to Gryffindor.
Finally, after everyone had been assigned houses, it was Harry Potter's turn. ..
"Harry Potter!"
Professor McGonagall's voice sounded, and everyone in the auditorium almost turned their eyes to Harry Potter.
Regarding the news about Harry Potter, many people understood what it meant.
Harry Potter had gotten used to the gazes of these people.
So, even though there was a little nervousness in his expression, he still came to the stage, put the sorting hat on his head, and kept thinking: "Don't go to Slytherin, don't go to Slytherin."
"Don't go to Slytherin, do you?" A small voice sounded in Harry Potter's head.
"Have you made up your mind? You will become a great weapon. You have a great mission. In Slytherin, you will get greater help and become a great being."
"Well, you don't like it?"
"Oh, it turns out that you have your own ideas. If so, then go to Gryffindor!"
Harry was so nervous that he thought he was hallucinating, did the Sorting Hat communicate by itself?
Did I already answer that?
Mr. Kate Lyle said, I am fit to go to Gryffindor!
In other words, it is possible that Mr. Kate Lyle is teaching at Gryffindor?
"Gryffindor!"
The Sorting Hat suddenly shouted, and Harry breathed a sigh of relief, finally entering Gryffindor.
Harry turned to look at Kate Lyle, and smiled somewhat happily.
Ronald, Hermione, and the seniors of Gryffindor happily rushed forward and hugged Harry Potter, looking extremely happy.
Dumbledore looked at the cheering children, stood up tremblingly, with a smile on his face, looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "Welcome everyone to Hogwarts and start a new school year."
"Before the banquet starts, I still have a very solemn matter to announce to everyone."
