Chapter 57: The Sorting Hat

After Professor McGonagall left, Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Being around such a powerful guy was too much for Merlin to wear, and he even felt that Professor McGonagall seemed to have the same temperament as Taruo's fleet commander's father—the temperament of a high-ranking superior.

Harry was nervous about the upcoming test, and he felt he was not sure he would pass it.

Just as he was nervous, a hand was placed on his shoulder, and Harry almost jumped in fright. When I looked back, it was the boy who looked like a girl, Merlin.

"Here you are." Merlin said with a grin.

Harry's mouth was dry, and he nervously asked, "Merlin, do you know what the test is about?" ”

“？”

Merlin tilted his head, then laughed, "Are you worried that you won't pass the test?" Don't worry, the freshmen here are basically blank in their knowledge of magic - don't look at me with that hellish gaze, no one is born with magic...... So why are we coming to Hogwarts? The test is definitely not going to be using magic or anything. ”

Harry's nervousness dissipated for a moment, and he smiled gratefully at Merlin, but the next moment it turned into horror: "Back! ”

Screams came from behind him, and Merlin turned to see a group of transparent ghosts emerging from the walls of the room.

Merlin felt a cold magic coming from them, and couldn't help but shiver.

However, these apparitions are friendly and don't do anything strange - so the ghosts in the Harry Potter world are in a sense magical creatures, not traditional collections of resentment.

Merlin looked at them for a moment, and the ghosts greeted the first-year students one after another. A short time later, Professor McGonagall returned, beckoning the freshmen to line up and leading them into the Great Hall.

The other freshmen looked very nervous, but Merlin was not nervous, but excited—it was the first time he had studied magic systematically! Finally, I don't have to figure it out on my own!

"Impossible." Ling Feng finally found an opportunity to mend his sword, "The [Mage] system you practiced does not match the system of the Harry Potter world, and the magic system of the world here is not good at combat......

"And you're used to using a long staff, and the magic that you can use with a short staff needs to be improved before you can use it."

Ling Feng smiled evilly and said, "Most of your time will be devoted to adapting magic. ”

“…… You're big. ...... Grandpa"

Merlin then walked into the auditorium.

The rest of the college sat around four long tables, lit by thousands of candles floating above the auditorium, with glittering gold plates and goblets, and a row of ornate tables in the innermost part of the auditorium for teachers to sit. The ceiling is as if there is no one, and you can see the night sky shimmering with stars.

Hermione whispered, "There was a spell here, and it looked like the sky outside, I read about it in Hogwarts, a piece of school history." ”

Merlin knew that how could this kind of place not cast some spells, there would definitely be solidified spatial interference spells, otherwise he could use spatial spells to teleport in casually.

He tried to summon the spatial elementals, only to find that they were all lazily still......

Professor McGonagall lowered a quadrangular stool in front of the freshmen, and a tattered patched peaked wizard's hat rested on top.

I'm just going to say that all the great stuff looks old...... Merlin complained inwardly.

The hat twisted a few times, cracking a crack that was clearly its mouth. After that, he sang in the shocked eyes of the freshmen:

"You may think I'm not pretty, but don't judge people by their looks, if you can find a more beautiful hat than me, I can eat myself.

You can make your bowler hat jet black and shiny, and your high hat smooth and structured, I'm the Hogwarts test hat, and I'm naturally taller than yours.

None of the thoughts hidden in your mind can escape the golden eyes of the magic hat, put it on and give it a try, and I will tell you which house you should be assigned to.

You may belong to Gryffindor, where there is a deep boldness in your heart, and their courage, courage and boldness make Gryffindor outstanding;

You may belong to Hufflepuff, where the people are honest and loyal, and the students of Hufflepuff are stoic and honest, and are not afraid of hard labor;

If you are shrewd, you may enter the wise old Ravenclaw, and those who are wise and learned will always meet their fellow disciples there;

Maybe you'll go to Stetelin, maybe you'll make sincere friends here, but the cunning and sinister will stop at nothing to get there.

Come put me on! Don't be afraid! Don't panic! In my hands (even though I don't even have a hand) you're absolutely safe!

Because I'm a thinking hat!"

After the Magic Hat finished singing, the audience applauded, and the Magic Hat bowed to the four tables one by one, and then stood still.

"Really...... What a beautiful song. The corners of Merlin's mouth twitched, and he clapped his hands and said to Ling Feng in the spirit call.

Ling Feng made no comment on this.

Then came the legendary Sorting Ceremony, and Professor McGonagall stepped forward, a large roll of parchment in hand: "Whoever I call by name now, he will put on his hat and sit on a stool and wait for the Sorting House." ”

"Hannah. Aibo! "Hufflepuff!"

"Susan. Burns! "Hufflepuff!"

Professor McGonagall read name after name, and after a long time, after calling Hermione, finally spoke, "Merlin? Taruo! ”

Merlin stepped forward and bowed slightly to Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall smiled at Merlin and whispered to him, "Don't worry, take it easy. ”

Then Merlin sat down on a stool and put on the strange hat, and Merlin could feel a strange but very reassuring smell of leather.

"Oh, cute little one."

The hat spoke, and only Merlin could hear it—it was almost exactly like a psychic call. So Merlin communicated back in the same way: "Hello Mr. Hat. ”

"Well, hello. I can see that you are very eager to deal with knowledge, so ......"

"Sir, I want to go to Gryffindor."

The hat seemed a little surprised: "Why? ”

Merlin hesitated for a few words, and finally broke the jar and said, "I want to be more manly......"

"......" by Sorting Hat.

"......" by Professor McGonagall who heard it.

"......" by Lingfeng children's shoes with soy sauce on the side.

"Ahem, Gryffindor!" The Sorting Hat announced loudly.

The Sorting Hat concludes by saying that I wish you more and more courage as a man.

Looking at Merlin's distant back, Professor McGonagall sighed imperceptibly, "I didn't expect that I would have a day when I would lose my eyes...... He's not her. ”

Believe me, if Merlin heard this, he would have gone mad to death.
