Chapter 59: The Sword of Gryffindor
A worn-out hat, dusty with several patches and several deep creases, sat on a small stool.
"Hey, are you okay?" said Seamus, leaning down, "Would you like to help you clean up the dust?" ”
After Seamus said this, the hat suddenly moved, and a crease split directly, becoming a large mouth, and a voice came from inside, "Then thank you, actually I don't feel well at all, but Dumbledore always feels more historical like this." ”
"Clean up," said Seamus, who took out his wand and cleaned the dust from it, "only wisdom can last forever, and dust brings only dust and decay." ”
"You're right, you're much smarter than the ones hanging on the wall, and I wish you were the next Headmaster of Hogwarts. The Sorting Hat grinned, and when the dust was removed, it was still as worn-out, but at least it was much cleaner.
"It's a pity that you can't decide where the next headmaster belongs, or I'll make you look good. Seamus was also joking about the Sorting Hat.
"Okay, don't talk like that, take me on your head. The Sorting Hat swayed crookedly, "It's easier to say, because every time I speak, my center of gravity is unstable. ”
Seamus put the Sorting Hat on his head, and his voice rang in his ears, not speaking with that large, crease-like mouth.
"You're the most polite little wizard I've ever met, thank you so much. ”
Seamus didn't pay attention to the Sorting Hat's compliments, and whispered, "Can you tell me why you sorted me into Gryffindor in an instant when you were the first to sort out." ”
"That's because, of course, you've had the most Gryffindor spirit in recent years. The whisper continued to ring, "Keep up the good work, you could become a wizard like Godric Gryffindor." ”
"I'm the most Gryffindor spirited, can you tell me how you see it? by reading thoughts?" Seamus didn't quite understand, he was sorting too fast, and he finished sorting without waiting for him to notice.
But now that I've been wearing the Sorting Hat on my head for so long, and the Psychic Guardian on my hand hasn't lit up, it means that it's not a Regent at all, or that the magic of the Big Four is too superb to bypass the judgment of Psychic Guardian.
"No, no, no, the only way I can communicate with you is through dialogue, and being able to sort houses is only because the four of them have left their own admissions criteria on me. It's a spell that matches the corresponding personality, and once I meet the corresponding personality, it will automatically prompt me. Sometimes there will be young wizards who meet the admission criteria of multiple houses, and at this time, it is based on their own intentions. The Sorting Hat gave his explanation.
"I see. Seamus nodded in understanding, almost not shaking the Sorting Hat off.
"Be careful, my old man's body can't stand such a toss. The Sorting Hat's voice was a little frightened, as if he was afraid of being thrown to the ground.
"Okay. "I heard you were originally a Gryffindor hat, so do you know if they left any treasure or anything like that?"
Of course, they left a legacy, but only Gryffindor and Slytherin remained, and the Hufflepuff devoted all her energy to remodeling the kitchen, while the Ravenclaw gave up on the idea of passing on knowledge due to what happened to her later years. The Sorting Hat said generously.
"Can you tell me what Gryffindor's heritage or treasure is?" asked Seamus as he continued.
After a moment's pause, the Sorting Hat said, "For the sake of your kindness to my old man, I'll tell you about Gryffindor's legacy, of course, mainly because you fit the spirit of Gryffindor." ”
Seamus was in good spirits at once, he already knew the location of the Slytherin secret room, but he couldn't enter the parseltongue at all, even if he was lucky enough to enter, the thousand-year-old basilisk inside would become a deadly arrow.
Comparatively speaking, Gryffindor's security is more exhilarating, at least not as deadly and dangerous as the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
"Tell me quickly, what is the treasure of Gryffindor?" asked Seamus impatiently.
"The treasure of Gryffindor is related to the Sword of Gryffindor. With that, the Sorting Hat fell silent.
......
Seamus waited for a long time and didn't wait for the next sentence, and couldn't help but ask, "What about the rest? Is this the only sentence? What else is it called?"
The "eh" Sorting Hat was also a little embarrassed, embarrassed to say, "I also know this, after all, when I was still a Gryffindor hat, I didn't have a thought, and after I had a thought, I was put in the headmaster's office by Gryffindor, and it will be 1000 years since then." ”
It seemed that the Sorting Hat did not know anything more, so Seamus had no choice but to give up and continue to ask another question, "So where is the Sword of Gryffindor, and how can I get it?"
"The Sword of Gryffindor is not anywhere, it does not belong to anyone, it only appears when those who have the courage need it, and I am sure you will be able to discover the treasures of Gryffindor. The Sorting Hat began to pour him chicken soup.
As for the Sorting Hat, Seamu's trust level is only half and half, and no one has found it for more than 1,000 years, so how can this guarantee be so easy to find. The Sorting Hat only said that he was the most Gryffindor spirit in recent years, and there were more than 1,000 students in the previous class, not to mention those with Gryffindor spirit, but even those who had obtained and used the Gryffindor Sword were probably in the double digits.
The encouragement of the Sorting Hat can only be regarded as a spiritual victory, and it has no practical effect, and there may not be any treasures left in the Slytherin secret room, after all, Voldemort has been in 50 years ago, and he has been in it for several years without anyone discovering it, and the contents are probably empty long ago.
Removing the Sorting Hat from the top of his head and placing it back on the stool, the hat that should have been fluttering made a "thump" like the sound of steel hitting a plank.
It wouldn't have been such a coincidence, it was too much of a coincidence that he had just tried to find the Sword of Gryffindor when it fell out of the Sorting Hat.
But with the idea that he was not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case, Seamus still picked up the Sorting Hat, and as the Sorting Hat was picked up, a sword hilt was slowly revealed, and it was pressed against the wooden bench.
Seamus grasped the hilt of the sword and drew a sword more than three feet long, the whole body was silvery-white, the hilt was covered with lion lines, and the hilt ended in a lion's head, and in its mouth was a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg.
Pulling out a sword more than three feet long from a wizard's hat more than a foot long is a bit unscientific no matter how you look at it, but this is the wizarding world, and everything makes sense.
"This is the Sword of Gryffindor?" asked Seamus, raising his sword, the Sorting Hat.
"Wow, you've found it so quickly, you're sure to find the treasure left behind by Gryffindor. The Sorting Hat was also surprised.
