Batman's Owl Godfather

Chapter 22 Two Batmen

"Hermione Granger!"

The branch list is sorted alphabetically by last name, and it has reached G.

She almost ran to the stool and hastily put her hat on her head.

"Gryffindor!"

Hermione looked a little surprised, she had thought she would be sorted into Ravenclaw.

Then it was Neville Longbottom's turn. The Sorting Hat hesitated for a long time before finally placing him in Gryffindor.

"Harry Potter!"

When this name appeared, the whole hall fell silent, followed by a buzz of whispers.

"Potter, is she calling Potter?"

"Is that Harry Potter?"

The legendary boy who survived a catastrophe actually came to Hogwarts this year.

It took a long time for Harry to be sorted, but in the end he was still sorted into Gryffindor.

"Why are there so many Gryffindors?" Bruce asked curiously.

Katoom said, "It's just that someone you know happened to be sorted into Gryffindor. Don't worry about it. You can take on three of them."

This statement is indeed not nonsense. The entire trio of protagonists together make up a complete Bruce.

Harry is an orphan, and so is Bruce.

Hermione is the king of curlers, and so is Bruce.

As for Ron, Ron of the Weasley family, or Wayne for short, there is nothing wrong with that.

"Bruce Wayne!"

Finally, it was the turn of the Bruce branch.

"Remember what I said, go Hufflepuff!"

Katum emphasized at the end, watching Bruce sit on the stool.

"Hmm..." A tiny voice said in Bruce's ear, "A strange little wizard, I see a lot of academy temperament in you.

"You have the courage to sacrifice for justice, the loyalty to sacrifice for your companions, the gift of photographic memory, and the desire to prove yourself. Where should I assign you?"

This……

Bruce discovered that the conclusion the Sorting Hat came to for him was completely opposite to Katum's.

Katoom said he didn't fit in any house, but the Sorting Hat said he fit in all of them.

"I'm going to Hufflepuff," Bruce whispered.

The Sorting Hat immediately asked back: "Hufflepuff? Oh, that's great, but I think you can have a bigger stage, what do you think?"

Can we really communicate?
Bruce found that although Katum's words were unreliable, he was still good at doing things.

He actually greeted the Sorting Hat!
"I've decided. I'll go to Hufflepuff."

"Well, I respect your wishes."

——Then, the Sorting Hat loudly announced the result of the sorting: Hufflepuff.

The Hufflepuff table suddenly burst into applause, cheering for the new student.

On the other side, Hermione heard the news and for some reason, she suddenly felt relieved.

Finally I don't have to live in Bruce's shadow anymore.

As Bruce walked off the stage, he saw Katoom wink at him.

How about it, is my face useful?
Bruce nodded calmly. Good boy, you are amazing!

……

After all the students were sorted, Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment, picked up the Sorting Hat and left.

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore stood up.

"Welcome!" he said. "Welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words.

"That is: Idiot! Crybaby! Scum! Twist!

"Thank you everyone!" Thunderous applause broke out in the hall, and people sincerely recognized the principal's brief speech.

Amid the applause, countless exquisite foods appeared on the originally empty long table, which made people's mouths water just by looking at them.

Bruce was very self-disciplined and put down his cutlery after eating the planned amount.

Katum is still showing off.

"Doesn't it taste good?"

Suddenly, a senior boy next to Bruce turned around and asked with concern.

He has handsome features and very white skin, like a vampire.

"My name is Cedric Diggory, third year." Cedric introduced himself.

Hearing the name, Katum suddenly stopped showing off his fandom and quickly patted Bruce on the shoulder: "Hurry up and shake his hand. Hurry up, I want to see two Batmen in the same frame!"

What two Batmen?

Bruce had no idea what Katum was talking about.

Katoom explained: "This matter is very complicated and you can't grasp it. I can only tell you that there is a Batman in this universe who looks exactly like Cedric."

Bruce still introduced himself to Cedric, but did not shake hands to satisfy Katoom's bad taste.

"Is this your owl?"

Cedric looked at Katoom with interest, "You seem to have a very good relationship and are inseparable."

The relationship is not good, thank you!

Although Bruce complained in his heart, he still gave an explanation.

This was the excuse he had discussed with Katum before. After all, they would often appear together in the future.

“I have a slight anxiety disorder,” Bruce said. “I have to be around my pets to feel relaxed.”

When he said this reason, Bruce cursed Katum countless times in his heart, "Can't you think of a better reason?"
"I see."

Cedric nodded, and there was a hint of understanding and regret in his eyes when he looked at Bruce.

He said: "It's okay, Hufflepuff is a very tolerant family with all kinds of weird people. Bringing a pet is nothing."

Bruce nodded, of course he knew that.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come.

……

The teachers were also having a meal at the guest of honor table.

Potions Professor Snape and Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Quirrell sat together, and next to them were Professor McGonagall and Headmaster Dumbledore.

At this time, Professor McGonagall was cutting a piece of steak. Suddenly she thought of something and turned her head to Dumbledore and said.

"Mr. Principal, have you been paying attention to the news in the Daily Prophet recently?"

Dumbledore wiped his mouth with his napkin. "You mean the Unwelcome Alliance?"

"Yes, they have been making more and more noise recently." Professor McGonagall said, "This time, they almost blew up Godric's Hollow to the ground."

"I know about it."

Snape said in his unique tone, neither slow nor long, "I heard that Remus Lupin has joined this group. Birds of a feather flock together. Of course, werewolves are welcome in the League of Unwelcomes."

"Oh! Werewolf!"

When Quirrell heard this word, he was so excited that he almost fainted.

"Severus, you can't jump to conclusions like that." Dumbledore said, "I believe Lupin, he must have joined for a reason."

"Of course there is a reason." Snape said with a hint of disdain, "Although I haven't paid attention to Lupin, I know that his life must be very difficult. It is normal for him to join a gang of thieves."

Dumbledore didn't say anything more. It seemed a little too early to label the League of Unwelcome Persons as thieves.

This group of people started to make a fortune a few months ago. They come and go without a trace, haunting various magical ruins, and seem to be looking for something.

Dumbledore was deeply concerned.

I always feel that the goal they are plotting is more terrifying than I imagined.

Maybe I should contact Lupin.
