At eight o'clock in the evening, the school hospital was still overcrowded. Mrs. Poundred had to apply to the Headmaster for an additional classroom to be used as a makeshift ward, and a dozen or so beds moved from the warehouse were placed together in three of them, and then curtained to form a small cubicle, with a terrible musty smell on the boards, and a Hufflepuff coat of arms at the head of the bed, which looked like they were old.

Brandi, Ron, and Neville were grouped together, and Ron was defeated and exited not long after the battle, the cause of death seemed to have been under a more complicated compound spell, his nose was now swollen like a circus clown, red as if it was glowing, and he had to lie on his side, with his ear pointed to the urinal under the bed, because his right ear was constantly pouring wine.

"I'm fed up with the sudden influx of so many people, deformed tusks and horns everywhere. Do you hate me for being too laid-back? Madame Ponred complained that she had never seen so many sick numbers at one time, and roughly shoved the glowing reddish flask into Ron's hand. Drink this, Mr. Weasley, my god why are there so many Weasleys in Gryffindor, your brothers are just as naughty as you are, I see them almost every few weeks. By the way, your nose may be a little uncomfortable after drinking the potion, but you must not move it with your hands, otherwise you will be responsible for finding that your nose is crooked after recovery. If you can't bear it anymore, you can call me, and I can put a sleep spell on you. ”

"As for you, Mr. Brandy......," she turned her head a little impatiently, "you look like you're just taking a frostbite spell, it's not a big deal, drink the medicine from your hand, and then go back to your Gryffindor lounge, put your hand in the stove and bake the fire, and then go back to sleep." Why, are you still planning to stay here overnight? I don't have that much energy to get you a stove again. The Noether next door to you vomited to death, and his body was really weak! With that, he turned around and lifted the curtain and walked out, the curtain was obviously enchanted, and the outside sound disappeared immediately.

"So did we win or lose? I remember before I passed out...... Well, I think I was knocked unconscious after just two or three spells......" Ron reclined on the edge of the bed in a strange position holding the medicine bottle. "Hey, it doesn't matter, anyway, just take a bad breath, I'm so refreshed and happy now, sure enough, the magic duel is a man's romance! Especially Notte, who was knocked down by my vomiting curse, is next door to us, but unfortunately the curtain is soundproofed and he can't hear it~ hahaha~ But when I wake up at night, don't let me find that Sabini bastard in our ward, I will definitely not be able to help but gank him! ”

Neville was half-lying at the head of the bed, watching with envy as Ron boasted that he had not participated in the 'Newcomer Contest between the two houses' because he had been sent here first. "That's amazing...... If only I had half the courage of you and Brandy. I heard Lavender, who came to visit the patient, say that Brandy was very handsome at that time, and he was able to drag Parvati all the way out of the middle of the battlefield, and many girls in our hospital were screaming excitedly. Isn't it ~ Brandi? ”

Brandi was holding the bottle in one hand, the ice on his left arm had been removed, and now he was frozen and a little weak. He looked at the still bubbling fire-like potion in the bottle, and his eyes stared straight ahead of him, obviously in a daze. His injuries were not serious, but the blow to his heart was not small from this fight......

He heard Neville's compliment, but he wasn't happy at all.

"Don't mention this...... You say, 'Am I useless?' ”

"Huh? Why do you think that? ”

"I can't fight like you do, and I'd like to cast a lot of fancy spells to teach the Slytherin bastards hard, but I can't. I could only run away in fear, and from beginning to end I cast a bird charm to block the Slytherins' view...... There is also a frostbite spell that helped Parvati block a frostbite spell in exchange for a combat power. Neville, maybe I'm even more timid than you. ”

He paused, his tone full of frustration and inaction.

"You say, did I get the wrong house in the first place...... The Sorting Hat told me they wanted me to be in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, I guess it was just thinking I was going to be clever, but I was so mediocre and didn't have much magical talent. It was only because of my own messing with the Sorting Hats that I got here. If I had..."

"It's not like that!"

Brandi turned his head in surprise and looked at Neville, who had long been considered Gryffindor's least verbal and timid. "Not like that," he tried to explain, but eventually repeated it.

"You're braver than you think, didn't the Sorting Hat finally agree to you coming to Gryffind? You can't be wrong with the Sorting Hat! Neville looked Brandi in the eye, something he'd never dared to do before. The Sorting Hat must have thought you had the qualities of several other Sorting Houses to make your choice, and that's how I put it on, it said I was a good fit for Hufflepuff, but it thought I had hidden courage in my heart, and that's why I'm here...... But ......"

Neville suddenly cringed again...... It's as if it wasn't him who dared to speak his mind just now.

"But I haven't found your courage yet, have you......" ended up with Brandi and Ron comforting him. It's okay Neville, are you going to be brave soon~"

"Believe me! In my opinion, even if you can't do a single spell, you're much better than Malfoy! Neville blushed and shouted in an effort to shout.

………… Brandi looked at his sincere eyes, and a smile finally resurfaced on his frustrated face. "yes~ I'm much better than Malfoy! I think the Sorting Hat told me that I might be even more ...... than Dumbledore Hey? ”

"Ahh

Boasting to himself, Brandi suddenly let out a scream. Frightened, Ron, who was drinking the medicine, was so frightened that he sprayed the potion that tasted very strange. "I'll go, Brandy, what's wrong with you?"

Brandi ignored him, staring blankly at the bottle in his hand and muttering to himself. "I see! Oh my God, the principal said...... It turned out to be this ...... Now you can figure it out! He suddenly jumped up from the bed and drank the potion from the bottle in one gulp, which slammed heavily on the bedside table. The amazing momentum stunned the two people present.

"I've gone back beforehand!" As he spoke, he draped his wizard's robe over his body, quickly lifted the curtain and walked out.

The scene was very awkward for a while.

"Is he alright......" After a long pause, Neville finally came back to his senses and asked Ron with some difficulty.

"Well, probably."

……………………

Brandi whipped down the hallway towards the staircase, complaining about his incompromising brain.

I should have thought of it a long time ago! Dumbledore said let me remember my promise, but I never promised him anything, so how could he know what I had promised to whom? It's not just the Sorting Hat?! The Sorting Hat had been mentioned to me when I was in the Sorting House that it was Gryffindor's own hat, and the wisest hat in the last three centuries!

He walked through a moving door, dodging the ball of paper that the butt had thrown at him, and scurrying up the stairs.

Is anyone else qualified to analyze the state of my body right now? It's a legendary magic weapon infused with Gryffindor's wisdom!

Alas, stupid I'll forget it! No wonder it turned red when I was holding the memory ball...... I forgot about talking to the Sorting Hat......

Arriving on the eighth floor in one breath, he ran past the statue of Claren the Thin Man, ran through the long corridors, and one after another portraits passed by him. He finally stopped and came to the place he had been not long ago.

"Big ...... Barley Tea ......: "Out of breath, it took him a long time to say the password.

"Wrong password! My friend~ The password was changed two days ago, and now it's cranberry cookies~" The stone beast on the right owed him seriously, "But Dumbledore said that if it's the same guy who came here last time, you'll be allowed to enter." But I didn't expect you to come back for so long...... You see, my fish-lipped brother has been repaired. ”

The stone beast on the left, with a serious face, glared at its brother fiercely, and then jumped away from the stone platform, revealing the hole behind it.

It seems to be completely different from the setting it was responsible for selling stupid before.

"Thank you, ...... two" Brandi was excitedly chatting with the two stone beasts, and he walked in quickly.

The Headmaster's office was empty, and it was clear that Mr. Dumbledore, who was busy with official business, had gone somewhere to think about life. But his goal was clear this time, and he walked briskly to the desk propped up by three paws. Behind that, the Sorting Hat was lying quietly there, with a note taped to it.

Brandi picked up the note and looked at it.

"You're here, go back to the principal's office in a month, and the stone beast will let you in. Wash it clean and additionally ...... You can't talk about the Sorting lyrics with it! To Brandi Barton"

………… Brandi blinked, apparently not understanding what it was like to discuss the lyrics with the Sorting Hat. But at least I told him the good news, he thought he could only borrow it and wear it, but he didn't expect to borrow it for a whole month!

The Sorting Hat is really a bit of a layback......

He picked up his hat and, apprehensively, left the principal's office.
