"Mr. Gryffindor? I...... What just happened? ”

When Harry awoke, he found himself on the floor. And around him, there was no one but Godric Gryffindor, who had thick hair.

"Huh?"

He lifted his slightly vertigo head up from the ground, his eyes glancing around and finally fixing on Gryffindor's body after he couldn't find any other target.

"I remember, I wasn't with another self—"

As soon as he spoke, Harry felt that the memory seemed indescribable. After a slight pause, he simply shook his head, and then asked directly:

"Mr. Gryffindor, have I already defeated that 'self'?"

"Huh?"

From the moment Harry woke up, Gryffindor just stood still, staring at it without saying a word. It wasn't until Harry asked this question that he shook his head slightly.

"No, apparently not." Gryffindor leaned on his sword and said indifferently, "In the face of your inner weakness, you chose to escape, and then unsurprisingly you were pressed by your own weakness step by step, and finally lost in meaningless anger......

"It's-"

“…… That's how it should have been! ”

Harry's stunned and ashamed was choked back by Gryffindor's sudden increase in tone.

"But," Gryffindor continued, "you're lucky because you not only have an elder who is wise enough, but you also have a friend who is strong enough. ”

"It was your elder who seized the moment of redemption and put my hat on top of your head when you were on the verge of being lost; And that friend of yours, in order to give my hat enough time to pull you back from the sin of anger, actually fought a big battle with you who went out of control without hurting you......"

Speaking of this, Gryffindor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said with a little confusion:

"In your time, hasn't the dueling ability of wizards diminished? That's a bit off our estimates......"

Harry obviously didn't think much of Gryffindor's puzzlement, because his attention had already been drawn by the other party's previous words.

"Elders and friends? And your hat? Harry was stunned, "Ah! It's a Sorting Hat, right? Well...... If you are a strong friend, it is most likely Maca? So who are ...... 'elders'? ”

"It's Albus!"

Suddenly, I saw the Sorting Hat peeking out of Gryffindor's waist with difficulty and shaking it to this side, and said with a little difficulty:

"Oops...... Godric, they all said that hats are meant to be worn! You've been hanging me on this damn belt for so many years......"

"Because wearing it on your head flattens your hair," Gryffindor said nonchalantly, his rough voice sounding a little languid, "but carrying a top hat with you is the bare minimum of etiquette and symbol for a wizard. ”

"You old hat, you still want to talk about 'etiquette'?" The Sorting Hat suddenly exclaimed, "Back then, you guy, every time you saw a powerful wizard, the first thing you said was, 'Let's have a duel!'" Then he drew his sword and slashed forward—when did you care about etiquette......"

Although the Sorting Hat was still endlessly revealing Gryffindor's old bottom, Gryffindor didn't care at all, just a little annoying background music.

It can be seen that he has long been used to it.

"In short, not only did you fail to gain the purest courage by overcoming your own heart, but you almost never woke up again. So, unfortunately, you won't be able to fully control this particular sword. ”

Although he had been mentally prepared, Harry couldn't help but sigh in disappointment after hearing Gryffindor say this sentence with his own ears.

"Mr. Gryffindor, I can't...... Can't try again? He asked reluctantly.

"Not at least for the time being," Gryffindor nodded, "and you'll need a long time to solidify your mental will." And if you know how to deal with your weaknesses after that, try again! ”

As he spoke, Gryffindor couldn't help but sigh:

"You have to know that normal people can't have a second chance, because they will completely sink into the sin of anger when they fail to challenge themselves for the first time...... When you wake up, remember to thank the people who helped you! ”

"Of course, of course I will be grateful! But isn't Professor Dumbledore—" Before he could finish speaking, Harry was suddenly stunned again, "Wait...... 'wake up'?" ”

He looked left and right again, the familiar dueling figures, and the bookshelves filled with Defence Against the Dark Arts books...... Isn't this the training room that has been conjured up from the Bing Room?

"Yes," Gryffindor waved coldly, "get out!" A lot of mana has been wasted to wait for you to regain consciousness...... I still have to wait for the true heir to arrive, and I can't use up all my time on your accident. ”

"Also, after you're out...... I'll leave my sword to you for safekeeping......"

In Harry's ears, Gryffindor's deep, deep voice drifted farther and farther away. Harry blinked his eyes subconsciously, only to find that there was no one in front of him, and the rest of the training room was still standing in the training room, wearing the Sorting Hat and carrying the Gryffindor sword.

Harry was speechless.

"What, you kid are stupid?"

"Huh?"

He rolled his eyes upwards and glanced at the brim of the Sorting Hat, and then he said in a daze:

"What about Mr. Gryffindor?"

"Obviously not here!" The sorting hat on top of his head suddenly slammed down, directly covering his somewhat stunned eyes, "If you want these eyes to be useless, you can donate them to those in need!" ”

"Oh! That was not what I meant...... Well, forget it! ”

Harry grabbed the brim of his hat and pulled it up, simply taking it off, and after thinking about it, he walked straight to the door of the Room of Requirement.

"Squeak-"

With a slight sound of the door opening, he found that it was dark outside, and there were spiders of all sizes and sizes.

Truth be told, even though Harry remembered that it was Maca's pet, he was taken aback.

"Harry Potter is out ......"

Hearing a voice suddenly come from the door frame above, he first subconsciously shrunk his neck, and then looked up. But at about the same moment, a piece of parchment floated down from above, and it happened to cover his face.

"What's that?"

Harry hurriedly grabbed it, and when he realized it was a piece of paper, he took it to his front and looked at it.

Soon he saw that the content above was very simple.

——————

Harry:

I knew you're coming out soon, but I suddenly had something going on, and it would take a while for me to come back. If you're hungry, you can go to the kitchen, where there's something to eat.

Also, since the school held a study tour during your absence, everyone is out now. So just to prevent you from feeling lonely because no one is welcome, I've given you the task of welcoming you back to these 'cute' little ones in front of you.

You can try to feed them with bread from the kitchen.

Macariu

——————

Obviously, Maca didn't mention Hermione and the others on this note. After all, Harry had just woken up, and no one knew what kind of state he was, so it was better to let him rest for a while.

"Oh! I think it might as well make me 'lonely'! Harry looked at the large number of spiders and muttered a little, then wondered, "Is it possible...... I've been in it for a long time? ”

"It's been a long time...... though the Sorting Hat couldn't read the letter, but Harry's words were clearly audible, "Hmm...... Did you actually restart the study tour? This is the momentum to get back to the top! Looks like I'm going to have to think about the welcome words for next semester before I become a ...... Potter boy, don't you say? ”

"Ahh

Harry replied very perfunctorily, and when he saw the spiders in the hallway move to the side and start to make way for him, he raised his legs and walked outside.

As he walked down the corridors and stairs, not to mention the figures, even the ghosts were stunned, and he had a clear understanding of the phrase "everyone is outside" written in Maca's letter.

Is this really "all" out?

Harry wasn't too surprised that Maca was still in the school, though—in this situation, the castle had to be guarded, right?

After looking around and seeing no one, Harry did feel that his stomach was already empty, and he couldn't even walk.

Not long after, he followed Maca's message to the basement kitchen and ate something that looked "weird".

Of course, except that none of them were hot, he felt that the taste was surprisingly good.

However, when Harry came out of the kitchen, about to go back to the dormitory to change his clothes, he suddenly paused as he passed by the foyer.

"Is there anyone out there?"

He hurriedly took a few steps back and looked out of the main entrance of the castle again, when he noticed a figure faintly shaking at the school gate in the distance.

"Huh? Sure enough, someone was there...... Who's that? ”

Harry hesitated for a moment on the side of the foyer, but quickly took a step and hurried out into the vestibule. And in his hand, the Gryffindor sword still shone with glittering light.

Obviously, although he had always remembered Gryffindor's words, he carried the sword with him. But he didn't seem to notice that he had been carrying it for a long time.

Until now, nothing unusual has happened to him.
