"When my name is called, come forward and put on the sorting hat! Is it clear?" McGonagall asked loudly.
The little wizards nodded subconsciously.
"Penello Crevat" McGonagall read out the first name.
The female prefect in the original book, Percy's girlfriend? Weston looked at this beautiful brown-haired little witch with interest. Although she was still young, she could tell that she was indeed a beauty.
The little witch stepped forward and swallowed, looking a little nervous. She took a deep breath and picked up the Sorting Hat from the bench. With her eyes closed and her heart pounding, she placed the Sorting Hat on her head.
.
"Oh? Smart little head, want to stand out? Ah - eager for magic knowledge, okay! That's right, go to - Ravenclaw!"
The Sorting Hat announced the result, and the students at a long table applauded vigorously, which invisibly led the way for the little witch.
The next branching was done very quickly, without any major twists and turns. Basically, one was solved within a minute.
Interestingly, both twins also chatted with the Sorting Hat, but were glared at by McGonagall several times.
No wonder people say that without the Weasley twins, Hogwarts has no vitality. What a pair of treasures! Weston almost burst out laughing.
“Susan Parker!”…
"Hufflepuff!"...
"Mary Anderson!"...
"Slytherin!"
The last one! McGonagall looked at the parchment with an inexplicable tone in her voice: "Weston Delacour!"
Huh? Flitwick became more energetic. His little body almost climbed onto the dining table, and his little eyes widened several times.
Snape expressionlessly picked up the empty wine glass and poured it into his mouth.
"Weston? Is it that Weston?"
"It should be! The Asian face is from the Delacour family, so it should be him!"
"Really! He looks so handsome!"
...
The students were discussing in low voices. Some children from Muggle families didn't understand what was going on and quickly asked the students next to them. People around them were also actively introducing Weston's deeds.
The youngest recipient of the second-level Order of Merlin in history? The founder of the League of Legends game? The only Obscurial known to have survived for thousands of years?
The Muggle-born children were stunned for a moment. No movie would dare to act like this!
Amid looks of doubt or admiration, Weston walked forward with a smile on his face.
"Let's get started, Weston!" McGonagall smiled at Weston, "The Sorting Hat will respect your choice!"
Snap! Snape broke a fork expressionlessly and threw it in the corner of the dining table. Dumbledore's brows jumped when he saw it.
"Okay, Professor!" Weston responded with a slight bow, stretched out his hand to the Sorting Hat, and silently cast a cleaning spell.
Huh? Dumbledore felt the fluctuation of magic power, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Not only Dumbledore, but every mediocre person here knew what this hand represented. The students just felt that the professors were more serious, but they didn't think too much about it.
Has this child reached this level? McGonagall looked at Weston in shock.
Weston lowered his hand and bowed deeply to the Sorting Hat, which had returned to brown.
Good boy! The admiration in Flitwick's eyes almost overflowed.
"Whose child is this, so outstanding? Even most people in the wizarding world have almost forgotten this!" The young man on Dumbledore's left said in admiration.
"Yes! I haven't seen this gift of respect for a long time!" Dumbledore also sighed.
In fact, a long time ago, the sorting ceremony was divided into three steps! Purify the Sorting Hat to express the purity of the wizard; bow to the Sorting Hat as a respectful ceremony to express recognition of the school and the respect of the Big Four; accept the Sorting
.
However, I don’t know when the three-step sorting ceremony was reduced to one step, so that many people in the magic world didn’t know about it.
And today, the orthodox sorting ceremony is demonstrated again in the hands of Weston!
The ghosts of Hogwarts appeared all around at some point and stood in a row. After Weston stood up straight, they all bowed to Weston.
This is a return gift on behalf of Hogwarts, indicating that Hogwarts has accepted your ceremony!
This is the branch? The students were stunned. Why is this different from ours? Why does it look so solemn? It seems that the branch should be like this!
However, they did not dare to ask. In this solemn atmosphere, no one dared to speak casually, as if it was a kind of blasphemy.
Weston took a step forward, picked up the Sorting Hat with both hands, sat on the bench, and slowly placed the Sorting Hat on his head.
"Very good! No one has done a sorting ceremony for a long time! You are an outstanding little guy!" The Sorting Hat's appreciative voice rang in Weston's ears.
Thank you for the compliment! Weston smiled slightly.
"No, I'm not complimenting you!" the Sorting Hat continued, "The sorting ceremony is not only an entrance ceremony, but also a protection contract with Hogwarts! During the school period, Hogwarts will do its best to protect everyone.
A student!"
"This is Salazar's family contract! Unfortunately, most people have forgotten it!"
It doesn't matter! Glory will never be forgotten! Weston thought to himself.
"You're right!" the Sorting Hat said relieved, "Okay, let me see where I should sort you..."
"Huh? Excellent Occlumency! However, this is of no use to me! The magic in me is not Legilimency! Let me see..."
"Excellent knowledge, noble blood, and powerful abilities! It's difficult, it's too difficult! You have courage no less than Godric, you also have the noblest blood, and you have wisdom that surpasses most people! Gryffindor
, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw are all suitable for you!"
"Oh? Do you think Gryffindors are reckless now?"
"Haha, I don't deny what you said! However, there is only a little wisdom between recklessness and courage!"
"Huh? You think knowledge and wisdom are the foundation of wizards? That's a good point! In that case, then go-"
"Ravenclaw!"
Ravenclaw?
"boom--"
The auditorium exploded instantly!
The Ravenclaw students were cheering loudly, while some from other houses applauded and some were unhappy, especially the Slytherin students, who looked like they wanted to tear the Sorting Hat into pieces!
"Hahaha..." Flitwick laughed, the surprise always came so suddenly, which made him extremely excited.
"Mr. Headmaster, is the Sorting Hat broken? I think it is necessary to check it!" Snape said expressionlessly as he pulled out the wand, "Let me do it for you!"
You do it for me? It will be bad if you do it for me! The professors around him all saw the cold light in Snape's eyes and thought a little speechlessly.
"Calm down, Severus!" Dumbledore said with a smile, "We should respect the opinion of the Sorting Hat, even if the result is not what we want!"
Humph! Snape glanced at Dumbledore, snorted coldly, and put the wand back.
McGonagall was a little regretful, but she didn't say anything. She was very open-minded. They were all Hogwarts students anyway, so they were all the same!
Well, actually it would be better to be in Gryffindor, but Weston had already told her that he would not go to Gryffindor, so she was mentally prepared.
However, Severus is going crazy! McGonagall thought with some gloating, and couldn't help but say to Weston: "Good luck to you, Weston!" After saying that, he put away the sorting hat.
, walked towards the eighth floor.
Wish me good luck? Weston was a little confused. He suddenly remembered something and glanced at the podium cautiously...
Damn it! It’s cold! Weston noticed his teacher’s face covered with frost, and silently prayed that when they meet again, he will be gentler...
