With Elena's voice, the air in the entire Hogwarts Castle seemed to freeze at this moment.
The students who were laughing and playing at the four long tables in the auditorium, and the school professors who were chatting in low voices behind the teachers' table, all stopped their movements at the same time, and all turned their attention to the confrontation in the center of the hall.
of two people.
"..."
Faced with Elena's threatening words, the old pointed wizard hat shook quickly, then quickly returned to calm without any response.
The group of first-grade boys standing behind Elena, with Elena's unexpected move, all their original anxiety and shyness disappeared, and the look of worship and admiration in their eyes almost solidified.
"Is it still possible to separate schools like this?!"
"Sister Elena, you are so handsome."
"It's just...so cool!"
Many first-year students were so excited that their bodies trembled slightly involuntarily, as if they were standing in Elena's position.
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips tightly, glanced fiercely at the whispering crowd, her chest rose and fell violently like a blower, and she laughed angrily.
"Threatening the Sorting Hat?! In all my years of teaching, I have never met a student like you... like you!"
After a pause, Professor McGonagall took a deep look at the bold silver-haired little Luoli, and for a moment couldn't find any suitable words to describe him.
——She should have thought a long time ago that the little devil who can catch the owl that delivers the message and cook it for soup cannot suddenly become a good girl.
"This is nonsense! There is no way the Sorting Hat will agree to such an unreasonable request of yours."
Professor McGonagall glanced at Elena, who was still holding her wand, her brows almost straightened, her face darkened, and she said coldly.
Elena raised her head, looked at the vice-principal of Hogwarts timidly with her lake-blue eyes, and spoke calmly.
"Dear Professor McGonagall, is your name the Sorting Hat? I think, as a wise hat, it can make its own judgments."
In this short period of time, the vague idea in Elena's mind gradually became clear.
Normal Legilimency only reads the subject's immediate thoughts, but the Sorting Hat's scope of action is obviously closer to the soul level, including memories, emotions, thoughts and even magical traits.
Therefore, she will never wear the Sorting Hat until she fully masters Occlumency and understands the magical principles of the Sorting Hat.
"Okay, okay..."
Being choked by Elena again, Professor McGonagall tried hard to suppress her anger, nodded repeatedly with a dark face, and squeezed out a cold voice from between her teeth.
"Sorting Hat, tell her that the traditions of Hogwarts are unquestionable. I still don't believe that any new student would dare to take action against the Sorting Hat."
"It just so happens that I don't believe that in a prestigious magic school, there will be a teacher casting a spell on the unsorted freshmen at the opening ceremony - because they don't want to wear a hat?"
Elena smiled slightly and said softly.
"Sorting Hat, don't worry, just say it. After all, we still have at least seven years to get to know each other slowly."
"..."
The wrinkled and dirty Sorting Hat drooped on the four-corner stool, motionless.
It was as if all the magic cast on it suddenly failed, and it looked no different from an ordinary wizard's hat.
"Sorting Hat?!" X 2
The eyes of the two witches, one large and one small, collided fiercely in the air, and their eyes invariably focused on the black wizard hat between them.
"Well... uh..."
Feeling the tremendous pressure coming from both sides, the Sorting Hat reluctantly twisted his body, thought for a moment, and hesitated before saying tentatively.
"Actually, I think that a brave and fearless child like you, Miss Elena, might as well consider Gryffindor..."
"Huh?!" X2
Two nasal sounds sounded almost simultaneously.
Professor McGonagall glanced at the problem student in front of her, raised her brows, and showed obvious dissatisfaction in her tone.
"We Gryffindor never call behavior that violates the rules as bravery. Sorting Hat, the key to the problem now is not which house..."
"Nothing to think about, Hufflepuff!"
Before Professor McGonagall finished speaking, Elena put her left hand into the pocket of her robe, pulled out another wand from her arms with a brush, and pointed it at the Sorting Hat.
"I'll give you a chance to reorganize your language."
Don't be kidding, if she is assigned to Gryffindor House, then Professor McGonagall will be Elena's dean. Given the current situation, she will definitely be retaliated against.
"Well, then..."
The Sorting Hat looked around. The face formed by the wrinkles on the wrinkled hat looked particularly sad, and he was about to say something.
Bang!
Behind Elena, at the door of the closed hall of Hogwarts Castle, there was a sudden loud noise, and the door of the auditorium was roughly pushed open.
"Oh no, Mr. Minister, gentlemen! You can't just barge in and still be sorted."
At the door, a thin and rickety figure holding a lantern blocked the door with open arms. At his feet, a skinny tabby cat stood up and purred threateningly.
"Get out of the way! Argus Filch, we don't have time to talk to you."
A stout little man waved his hand irritably, and behind him, a sturdy wizard walked directly forward, pushed the poor gatekeeper and staggered back, and got out of the way.
Then, a large group of adult wizards filed in through the open door and walked towards the teacher's chair as if there was no one else around.
Everyone in the auditorium turned to look at the group of strangers who suddenly broke into the auditorium hall. Judging from their clothing, the intruders could be clearly divided into two groups.
The larger group of people were a group of black windbreakers, wearing elegant British-style round hats, neatly dressed and with serious and old-fashioned wizards written all over their faces.
On the other hand, the male and female witches and wizards of the other group wore various wizard robes with exquisite tailoring and exquisite workmanship. Their behavior revealed the temperament of a big shot from the upper world, and they followed the end of the team unhurriedly.
"Miss Kaslana, stand back! Go back to your queue."
Before Elena could react, a dark green figure quickly walked in front of her and protected her behind him.
"Gentlemen, this is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You have no right to break in! Now, please get out immediately!"
Professor McGonagall, the vice-principal and head of Gryffindor House, took out the wand directly from his clothes, nervously pinched the end of the wand with his fingers, stared ahead through his square glasses, and shouted loudly.
"No! You have no idea what's going on, Minerva. Get out of the way! This is none of your business."
Facing Professor McGonagall's wand, the leading little man shrank his head slightly, looked past Professor McGonagall to the middle of the teacher's chair at the other end of the auditorium, and roared louder than Professor McGonagall.
"Dumbledore! Just now, the goblins of Gringotts held a press conference, announcing that they had obtained the mortgage of Hogwarts Castle, and also showed everyone the magic of Slytherin and Hogwarts.
Imprinted land certificate. Who can tell me what is going on?!!"

Do you think threatening the Sorting Hat is the climax? No, it is just an appetizer. I have already said that this is a different world that will surprise you!
The main film has just started now, I will try my best to write it better.
This big plot has been conceived since the beginning of the book, and I was really worried that I wouldn’t be able to write it because I didn’t have enough writing skills, but now that I’m here, I can only bite the bullet and get started.
