William walked out of the crowd, in fact, before this, William's outstanding height had attracted the attention of the surrounding students to constantly focus on William.

No way, who made William too conspicuous among this group of little wizards.

It turned out that he was the William Hermione mentioned, Harry thought to himself as he looked at the boy who had been reading a book alone in the car before.

"Is he the William who invented the spell? Merlin is on top, he's so tall! Not at all like a first-grader. ”

"Yes, the key is to be so handsome!" A Ravenclaw senior looked at William with a nymphomaniac.

The students kept whispering, and the teachers looked at William with interest.

William stepped forward, smiled politely at Professor McGonagall, and then took the Sorting Hat with a slightly changing face.

The thought of the dusty hat about to fall on his perfectly groomed hair gave William a chill.

But William finally sat down and put on the Sorting Hat.

"I'm not dirty at all! This is the precipitation of history, you know what?" A voice rang in William's ears. Sure enough, just as William had thought, the Sorting Hat could sense what was on William's mind.

Has no one washed you for so many years? William thought in his mind.

"Do you think I don't want to? I haven't been purged in a long time, and these wizards are really getting more and more excessive, and they only think of me when they are sorted, and they don't even give me a clean up. The hat began to complain to William frantically,

"Do you know how uncomfortable I am? I don't have any hands either, and I can't scratch them in some places. ”

Do you talk to everyone like that? William thought helplessly, I really don't know who made you.

"Each of the Big Four left a thought on me, so I should be considered a co-production of the Big Four." The hat explained to William,

"Do you think I'm talking so much to anyone? Isn't it hard for me to tell which college you should go to? ”

"The almost greedy thirst for knowledge, which is the most dear quality of Ravenclaw, is courageous and not bad-hearted. Even, yes, I can even see that you have a very good hidden ambition to do whatever it takes to get there, and you'd be a great Slytherin.

Do you know? If you lived in those days, even the most discerning Slytherin would appreciate you. ”

William didn't expect the Sorting Hat to give him such a high rating, he always thought that as soon as he put on the hat, he would be sorted into Ravenclaw.

"Do you want to go to Ravenclaw, no problem, Ravenclaw will make it happen to you. Every time I meet such people, I am happy to talk to them and then let them choose which college to go to. ”

Wait a minute, let me ask one last question, William quickly stopped the Sorting Hat in his mind, he had one more crucial question left unasked.

"What's the problem, hurry up, you've been sitting on it for a long time."

The silent auditorium gradually resounded with the whispering discussions of the little wizards.

"Merlin is on top! How long has he been sitting on it? ”

"I don't know, but it's almost five minutes!"

The reason why everyone was so excited was that the Sorting Hat, as a magic item left by the Big Four to practice their Sorting philosophy, rarely happened to be hesitant for so long.

But throughout the long teaching career at Hogwarts, there have always been people who have both two or many different qualities that different houses believe in.

For these people, the Sorting Hat will take longer to judge, and once the time has passed five minutes. Then the person can be called a hat embarrassment.

Generally speaking, this is rarely the case with the Sorting Hat, as it considers every embarrassment to be a manifestation of its own incompetence.

The closest to today is Professor McGonagall forty years ago.

The Sorting Hat spent about five and a half minutes hesitating between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, and finally chose the former.

Is it going to see the birth of a new hat embarrassment today?

The students in the auditorium looked at William, hoping that he could hold on a little longer. Even Dumbledore looked at William in surprise.

I would like to ask, what happened to your master, Godric Gryffindor, that caused this to be so unexpected?

A book says that he died in a duel with the unspeakable darkness, but what is the indescribable darkness?

You were there, you should know that, right?

William finally asked the question he had always wanted to know.

In exchange for a long silence from the Sorting Hat, it seemed to be a reminiscence.

It was a long time before the hat whispered in William's ear, and his voice sounded a little sad.

"Yes, I was there at the time, it was darkness you can't imagine, and the mere sight of it can drive you into endless madness."

"I can't tell you anything about it, those forbidden knowledge, that's the reality of the world, it's something you can't afford right now."

"The less you know now, the better, for your own good, and if one day you become strong enough, you can come to me again."

"But what I can tell you is that my master did not die in that battle with darkness! Ravenclaw! ”

The Sorting Hat said this, and before William could react, he shouted loudly.

The people at the second table on the left applauded one after another, and several of the senior sisters were even more happy.

And many people in the other academies sighed softly, after all, everyone hoped that William would come to their own academy.

Pansy looked at William with some loss, he really didn't come to Slytherin, was Slytherin so annoying in his eyes?

The girl suddenly felt a little disgusted with her own bloodline at this moment, if I were free to choose the college,,,,,,,

Of course, William didn't know the girl's inner activities, and William looked at the sorting hat in his hand, and suddenly a bad taste welled up in his heart.

He put the Sorting Hat back on the stool, then took out his wand and said to the Sorting Hat, "Clean up!" ”

He actually used a descaling charm on the Sorting Hat in front of hundreds of students and teachers in the school!

It's still a descaling spell enhanced by magic!

An invisible force erupted from the tip of William's wand and applied to the Sorting Hat, and the dirt and dust on the hat vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye. Eventually, it turned into a plain and ordinary peaked wizard's hat with patches.

It's still not very good-looking, but it won't get dirty, so that the person who wears it feels tortured, isn't it?
