Chapter 21 Is the Sorting Hat so brave?
After this unexpected incident, the Sorting Hat no longer has ink stains, and the sorting can be completed basically just by touching the hair of the new students.
With this efficiency, soon only the last two freshmen were left.
"Connor Prince!"
Hearing this familiar name, Kyle and Cedric looked over at the same time.
"Is this the little girl on the train?" Cedric asked curiously: "Where do you think she will be sorted, Slytherin?"
"Probably." Kyle scratched his back subconsciously and said, "Since she is wearing extraordinary clothes, she is most likely a pure-blood, so she should be a Slytherin... huh?"
At this time, Kyle was suddenly stunned. He wondered if it was his imagination. After Professor McGonagall called Connor's name, Snape, who had always had a straight face and seemed completely uninterested in the sorting, actually He moved forward, and for the first time his attention was fully focused on the Sorting Hat.
"They don't know each other!" Kelxin said.
Although Snape almost never participates in social activities due to his special status, he is one of the four deans of Hogwarts after all, and he is also a famous potions master. It is impossible for him to be an acquaintance in the wizarding world. nothing.
There might be Kangna's family among them.
Thinking of this, Kyle's back went cold and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
If this is really the case, with Snape's character, if he knew that he had deceived Connor, he would probably enjoy the protagonist treatment in advance.
"It can't be such a coincidence..." Kyle felt his scalp numb.
What a crime.
Just now, I was teasing the Weasley twins about how evil will be punished. I didn't expect that the retribution in this world would come so quickly, and the next second it would be on me.
Kyle looked toward the stage anxiously.
I don't know why, but when it was Connor's turn, the efficiency of the Sorting Hat seemed to return to the beginning.
Everyone waited for more than a minute before the Sorting Hat spoke:
"Hufflepuff!"
Um? ?
A burst of warm cheers erupted from the Hufflepuff table, and the prefects stood up again to welcome Connor.
Only Kyle looked at Kangna walking past him with a question mark on his forehead.
What's going on, besides Scamander, there are actually pure-blood families coming to Hufflepuff? This is really rare.
It's not that there aren't any. There are purebloods in all four houses, but there are fewer Hufflepuffs.
As for whether Kangna came here after him...this is simply impossible.
Sorting is not just a game. On a larger scale, it can even affect the future path of wizards.
So even if Connor is young and ignorant, the Sorting Hat cannot let her do whatever she wants. Otherwise, Connor's family will not just let it go.
Kyle remembered that Chris once told him that when Sirius Black was sorted into Gryffindor, the Black lady made a big fuss at Hogwarts.
If Dumbledore hadn't made a strong move, she would have almost burned the Sorting Hat with a calender.
This matter was quite a big deal at the time. Although Hogwarts was suppressed by Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic held several meetings to discuss whether to abandon the Sorting Hat and adopt other methods in the future. Branch.
And the support rate for this proposal is not low, because most pure-blood families are unwilling to let their children go to colleges other than Slytherin, especially those die-hard conservatives.
Having a Gryffindor in the family was a shame to them.
Of course, the final result is definitely not passed.
After all, Dumbledore more than twenty years ago was not as easy to talk to as he is now. After he clearly expressed his objections, those pure-blood families did not dare not to give him this face.
This matter just ended like this.
However, since then, those pure-blood family members who supported the proposal have never been to other colleges.
Kyle glanced towards the teachers' table on the stage.
It's easy to confirm whether the sorting is normal. Just look at Snape's reaction. If the Connor family really has a good relationship with Snape, Snape will definitely not do it after she is sorted into Hufflepuff. Continue to sit there calmly...
Forehead……
Well, Kyle was wrong.
On the classroom seat, Snape's face was so gloomy that he almost shed tears. He was talking to Dumbledore non-stop, and looking at Hufflepuff from time to time.
Kyle quickly lowered his head, trying to reduce his presence.
It can't be such a coincidence, is the Sorting Hat really so brave? Kyle felt a little nervous.
Meanwhile, the last new student had just finished sorting and was heading to the Gryffindor table.
Dumbledore immediately stood up, looked at the students in the audience with a smile, and stretched out his arms: "Welcome, welcome to Hogwarts, it is another new school year, and there is nothing more exciting than seeing you. People are happy.
What are you waiting for? Eat it! "
The originally empty dining table was instantly filled with steaming food.
Beef, roast chicken, pork chops, sausages, and steaks are piled into hills, which makes people's appetites increase greatly.
If you think these are too greasy, there are fragrant boiled potatoes, pea shoots and fried potato chips on the side, which are also very good to eat together.
The entire auditorium was filled with the aroma of food.
Kyle shook his head, trying not to think about those messy things.
Forget it, things are like this anyway, what's the use of thinking so much, just take it one step at a time.
No matter what, he won't be the first to be unlucky. There is still a Sorting Hat in front of him.
In addition, even if Snape really wanted to cause trouble for him, it would not last long. As long as he could survive until Harry Potter entered school next year, he would not be in the mood to care about himself anymore.
Kyle calmed down, reached out and took a fried chicken leg from in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth.
He had been on the train for a long time and had no appetite at all. He just ate some snacks. Now he was really hungry.
The elves are quite good at their craftsmanship.
The fried chicken legs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When you bite into it, the juice overflows, and the aroma instantly fills your entire mouth.
The roasted potatoes are also good, the heat is just right, and there are no extra seasonings, fully retaining the fragrance of the potatoes themselves. If you think the taste is bland, there is separate tomato sauce and black pepper on the side.
Kyle found this combination to be surprisingly good, so he picked up another one.
But just when he cut the potatoes and was about to get the black pepper, Cedric suddenly came over and whispered: "Have you noticed that she has been staring at you?"
"Staring at me? Who is it?" Kyle replied without raising his head.
"That's the freshman named Connor Prince that I met on the train." Cedric raised his eyebrows and pointed in the opposite direction with teasing eyes: "Look if you don't believe it, she started looking at you again. .”
