"Sorting Hat, do you know what a school is most worried about?"
"Teaching accidents - or in other words, due to the words and deeds of professors, students or important teaching resources and facilities have suffered extremely serious damage... When this conflict breaks out, all quarrels and confrontations will be temporarily put on hold..."
In the dark world of hats, the whispers from the white-haired devil echo in the Sorting Hat's thoughts.
"Legilimency can only target people and cannot read the thoughts of magical creatures. This is also the core guarantee of the show - if you don't want Hogwarts to become a battlefield, then the most appropriate response at this time is chaos and chaos.
Sequence’s state of madness…”
"In short, please remember: don't respond! Don't respond! Don't respond!"
"As for me……"
Elena's lake-blue eyes flickered for a moment, and instantly turned into a cold and absolutely rational look.
Or, to put it more colloquially - the legendary Sage Mode.
As a mixed-race Veela, the bewitching Third-Eye Demon King, and the Fairy Queen of Gringotts, this kind of acting skill can be said to be an innate ability for her, especially with her growth in the past year, she is now even more comfortable with it.
.
More importantly……
Lies will form an extremely terrible inertia.
From the moment the Sorting Hat compromised, the future path was almost determined. As Grindelwald taught, a real devil never bothers to use force to coerce others...even if the other person is just a hat.
However, the Sorting Hat has no way of peeking into the subsequent content.
After the last paragraph flashed through her mind, Elena cleared her mind and began to deduce mathematical theorems one by one.
Danilova Alexei verified her previous thoughts. Even the Sorting Hat with the wisdom of the four founders will still be limited by the constraints of time and knowledge when facing the most brilliant pearl in the crown of human wisdom.
.
At this point, the Sorting Hat, Dumbledore, and even all the wizards of this era are all the same.
…
"Elena, can you hear me?"
Dumbledore's eyes stayed on Elena's blue eyes for a second or two, and then he took the initiative to look away.
The old wizard sighed and rubbed his brows slightly tiredly, with a look of helplessness on his face - with a small success in Occlumency and a mathematical model comparable to ancient evil gods, he became more and more sympathetic to the Sorting Hat.
situation.
Compared to him who can actively "disconnect", the Legilimency solidified on the Sorting Hat cannot be actively stopped.
On the other hand, Elena, who is the target of sorting, is obviously not feeling well either. If nothing else, based on some strange ancient magic stimulation that originated in the morning, the girl's mind must now be filled with all kinds of troublesome things.
Information.
"Huh? I'm...yawning——"
Elena nodded slightly, turned her eyes, and gradually began to regain her energy.
Immediately afterwards, tiredness appeared on his delicate little face, and he yawned cutely, as if he had just woken up and was still a little dazed, or as if he was trying hard after staying up all night.
To get rid of fatigue.
"Is the sorting over? Professor Dumbledore, where should I go now?"
Elena yawned again and stood up unsteadily, with a look of appropriate confusion on her face.
Just as she expected, this spicy old carrot would not stick to his promise and not take the initiative to use Legilimency at the critical moment. If she hadn't been prepared for it, just by looking at each other just now, she might have...
Wearing help.
Severus Snape is not the only master of Occlumency in this world.
Whether it is Grindelwald or Lockhart, their magical attainments in this area are also quite outstanding. After such a long period of magic learning, combined with the mathematical model, Elena is almost able to perfectly deceive Deng.
More buli.
"That's right, the sorting is over. As for you -"
Dumbledore shook his head helplessly, looked at the girl's chest, and then at Professor McGonagall who was hesitant to speak.
As the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore naturally knows what the deans are fighting for.
The competition for the House Cup at the end of Hogwarts every year is just one of the reasons. Elena Kaslana carries more than just her own score - the most important thing is that she will improve a house.
The overall strength, treatment, confidence, cohesion, and to a certain extent influence the campus lifestyle of Hogwarts students.
Judging from the current situation, whether Elena is sent to Gryffindor, Slytherin, or Hufflepuff, any one of these three houses will inevitably cause the other two houses to produce biased thoughts.
The thought of fighting.
After all, according to Hogwarts' past procedures, as the new prefect, Elena still needs to take the students to their respective common rooms, and the dean's table where she stayed tonight is undoubtedly what she needs to be responsible for.
area……
unless--
Dumbledore paused, took a deep look at Elena, cleared his throat, and continued.
"Since the sorting hat just read Ravenclaw first, before I discuss the results with the professors, Elena, please sit down at the long table of Ravenclaw House for the time being, and then the banquet is over.
Don’t leave in a hurry yet—”
"Minerva, as for the Sorting Hat, let it be alone for now...give it some time to digest."
"For now, that seems to be all we can do, Professor Dumbledore."
Mag Minerva glanced at the hat in her hand that was still shouting, shook her head helplessly, bent down slightly, picked up the three-legged stool used for sorting, and strode towards the staff lounge next to the staff table.
Ever since Elena Kaslana entered the school, the sorting ceremony has never gone smoothly.
In fact, according to McGonagall Minerva's thoughts, she even had the idea of locking Elena into the staff room next to her next year and waiting until the sorting ceremony was over before releasing her.
The urge to come out.
Sure enough, it's Ravenclaw——
After hearing Dumbledore's final decision, the little hair on Elena's head shook proudly.
"Okay, Professor Dumbledore, I will stay after the dinner."
The girl nodded slowly, with no wave in her lake-blue eyes, and answered softly in a calm tone.
The future of Hogwarts lies with the students, not with a certain professor. Controlling the Sorting Hat is equivalent to controlling half of the future to a certain extent - from data collection to macro-control between colleges, it is very useful.
too much.
Of course, all of this is just a long-term plan that has not yet happened.
At least until Hogwarts Academy City is fully established, Elena does not need the big data analysis from the Sorting Hat or the long-term plan with a timeline of more than one year. Her era has just begun.
This child may feel a little uncomfortable tonight...
Dumbledore raised his head, looked at Elena walking towards the Ravenclaw table, and shook his head slightly.
In a head-on collision with the Sorting Hat, in this kind of spiritual confrontation, no one will be the final winner.
Compared to the wisdom of the four founders, Elena is still a young witch after all. Perhaps because of the lessons learned from Grindelwald and Tom, he was too vigilant before, so he might as well adjust it a little later.
And at the same time.
On the other side, there are Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Hufflepuff at the long table.
"Huh, Elena is fine."
"Dad is right, sister Elena is indeed very dangerous..."
"This white-haired dumpling is starting to lie to people again!"
As Elena's little silly hair appeared in a familiar swaying trajectory, the three little witches, Hannah Abbott, Luna Lovegood, and Hermione Granger, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
There was a strange look on the face.
——This white-haired dumpling is too brave, right? Does the principal dare to lie to him?
The most important thing is that judging from the current situation, this white-haired dumpling has actually succeeded?!
…
"Okay, so the sorting is over! Now let me think about where I just said..."
Dumbledore retracted his thoughts, cleared his throat, and looked around the auditorium with a smile.
"Oh, by the way! Welcome, welcome everyone back to Hogwarts!"
"I believe everyone is already a little hungry, but before that, please bear with me for a while - there are a few things about Hogwarts this semester that I think it is necessary to tell you in advance, most of which are
They are more important things, so I think it’s best to explain them clearly before you enjoy the delicious meal and your brains become confused..."
"I am delighted to welcome three new teachers to our lineup this semester, starting with Professor Lupine."
Dumbledore showed a warm smile on his face and pointed towards the staff seats behind him.
At the same time, a wizard who looked a little sick stood up and smiled gently at the students.
Compared to the other well-dressed professors, Professor Lupine's wizard robes are obviously much shabbier. Several places on the robes have been patched. Although he still looks young, his light brown hair is already a bit gray.
.
As Professor Lupine stood up, Severus Snape's thin, yellow face twitched suddenly.
"Professor Snape..." Harry glanced at Snape worriedly.
After getting along with him for one school year, he almost regarded Snape as a close elder.
Although the professor's face was cold most of the time, Harry knew very well that Snape was not as arrogant as the senior Gryffindor students said. At least on his birthday, Snape was the only one who gave him a gift.
professor.
However, the expression on Snape's face now looked so unfamiliar.
Harry remembered seeing such a hateful look on Professor Snape's face only once, and that was when Professor Snape looked at Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black during the trial of Peter Pettigrew a few months ago.
expression.
However, except for Harry, most of the young wizards did not pay attention to Professor Snape at this time.
Everyone's attention was on Dumbledore and the new professor who was nodding towards everyone.
"I regret to tell you that our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Quirinus Quirrell, has not yet recovered from St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Professor Apokalis would rather continue to serve as the Castle
Administrator, rather than teaching a specific subject. However, I believe Professor Lu Ping is capable enough to take on this teaching position."
