Chapter 82: The Unpopular Slytherin

Looking at the ugly appearance of the Sorting Hat and the twisted mouth, Severus unconsciously crossed a light in his heart: it seemed that he had forgotten about this hat!

The first thing to do is definitely the usual song of the Sorting Hat before the Sorting House.,This Sorting Hat has a strong thinking ability.,It's not too much to say that it's a hat that will definitely think.,But the character of this thing is obviously a bit Gryffindor tendency.,I don't know if it's related to his master or influenced by the headmaster of Gryffindor for many consecutive terms.,In short, the Sorting Hat is obviously not very kind to Slytherin.。

The second is the Gryffindor sword in the Sorting Hat, I don't know if it is the legendary Sword of Oath Victory, I now have a scabbard, and it is a fused scabbard, what will happen if I have a sword?

Will it be pulled out of the body like a prayer?

In that case, Severus would rather destroy the Sword of Victory of the Oath, definitely!

But for now, let's take a good look at the current Sorting House, although Severus's memory is clear enough, but the opportunity to have an immersive experience is still not to be missed, and I hope that the Sorting Hat will not sing casually, otherwise Severus will definitely give him a bath, or the kind of drum washing machine!

It was obviously impossible for the Sorting Hat to read Severus's thoughts, and although he had the ability to read his heart, it had to be worn on his head, and it was limited to the Sorting House, like a set machine, and he only had a chance to show his skills when he encountered unpredictable circumstances.

So, apparently not feeling the death gaze of our Professor Snape, he still sang the song he had made up to himself:

I'm a thinking hat,

Although it looks ugly,

But my power is extraordinary,

I can see your hidden qualities.

The brave and fearless will be assigned to Gryffindor,

The wise and discerning will be assigned to Ravenclaw,

The faithful and upright will be assigned to Hufflepuffs,

And finally, Slytherin,

Oh, it is a paradise for some sinister and cunning,

They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals,

But they will also suffer the consequences of their own evil,

So, take me,

I'll put you where you need to go!

……

Today's Sorting Hat song isn't long, but the lyrics aren't very likable, just look at the faces of the Slytherins.

And the faces of the few young wizards who were already hiding in the crowd were even worse, and their expressions were like Ron's who was about to fight the trolls, as desperate as he wanted.

And Severus's face is even worse, although I don't know when it started, the Sorting Hat always loses a few words of Slytherin when singing, but it often says some advantages, just like when Harry Potter was in school, or even when Voldemort was at his strongest in the wizarding world, Severus was still studying at that time, and the Sorting Hat never slandered Slytherin so much at that time.

Apparently, even the Sorting Hat knew that Voldemort had fallen.

……

Professor McGonagall held the parchment with the list of freshmen in one hand and a sorting hat in the other, and one by one the young wizards came up to the house and took their seats, and the senior students applauded and welcomed each other.

However, out of the ten freshmen who have been divided, only one has been sorted into Slytherin, which is really a bit small.

And looking at some of the little wizards with bright eyes, curiosity, and a desire to explore, most of these wizards went to Gryffindor, while the ones who were a little cowering and slightly timid were sorted into Hufflepuffs, and some went to Ravenclaw, and only those little wizards who looked nervous and seemed to be on the battlefield were sorted into Slytherin.

And there are some little wizards who seem to be chanting words all the time, although they are not in front of them, and those little wizards are not Harry Potter, but Severus is also sure that those little wizards must be saying: "Don't go into Slytherin, don't go into Slytherin......"

When the sorting ended, Slytherin had only nine new students, less than double digits, the lowest number of new Slytherin students in nearly a hundred years!

The total number of new students this year was about seventy, of which nearly twenty went to Gryffindor, nearly thirty to Hufflepuffs, more than a dozen to Ravenclaw, and only nine to Slytherin.

While it is usually Ravenclaw with the fewest freshmen, and Slytherin and Gryffindor are not much different in number, this year's situation is ......

Severus was no longer able to complain, and it was estimated that except for the Sorting Hat, who was sure to enter Slytherin, the others who were slightly hesitant had entered other houses.

Just look at the freshmen who seem to have entered the execution ground, those who are assigned to Slytherin are unhurriedly dressed up, but they look full of tragedy, and those who enter the other houses immediately become happy, and even trot down the stage.

This year's Slytherin was truly miserable!

So when the party is over, let's fix the Sorting Hat and have a front-loading washing machine!

If it weren't for the Sorting Hat's blind singing, this situation would have been better, probably......

And it was clear that it wasn't just Severus who found out about the Freshman Sorting House, but everyone else did, so the whole hall was filled with discussions after the Sorting was over, and there was all sorts of schadenfreude in it.

And especially the Gryffindor was the loudest voice, with one or two upperclassmen even shouting "Savior bless, let Slytherin be finished soon!" ”

Eventually, it was only after Dumbledore stopped him that he was quiet again.

Dumbledore stood up and began his routine headmaster speech, which was probably the same in every country.

He first introduced the new professors, including Severus, and then went on to say:

"It's going to be another great year, the clouds that hang over the wizarding world have finally lifted, but I want to remind you that no non-holiday celebrations are allowed this year, and we have done enough last year!"

"In addition, please pay attention to both new and old students, the Forbidden Forest is not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest, and then remind everyone that it is forbidden to cast magic in the corridor, if you find a large number of students, then I will confine him!"

"If you dare to unleash dark magic on your classmates, Hogwarts will expel him immediately!"

"Finally, in the second week of school, there will be a selection of members for each house's Quidditch team, and only students from Year 2 and above will be allowed to participate."

"Alright, let's eat!"

Severus didn't continue to think about it, even if Dumbledore's words were not good for Slytherin, these things should be talked about later in the headmaster's office, and now eat first.

After dinner, go wash that damn worn-out Sorting Hat, and then head to the Slytherin common room, where the lost lambs await Severus' redemption!
