Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 19 Hufflepuff

Kyle did not hesitate and came to the stage in a few steps.

After surviving the disaster, he patted his chest, looked at Professor McGonagall sincerely and said, "Thank you, Professor."

Perhaps he didn't expect that there would be such polite children in Hogwarts. Kyle's sudden behavior really caught Professor McGonagall off guard. It took him two or three seconds to react, and he shook his head and said, "This is My responsibility."

Despite saying this, Professor McGonagall's originally serious expression softened a lot. And before placing the Sorting Hat on Kyle's head, she even patted the dust on it.

 “It would be great if such a polite child could be sorted into Gryffindor.”

 Professor McGonagall has some expectations in her heart. What Gryffindor lacks most is this kind of model student.

Last year, she had dreamed of abducting Cedric into her college, but unfortunately neither Sprout nor Dumbledore agreed.

 It depends on how this year goes.

 Professor McGonagall stared at Kyle with burning eyes, and prayed in her heart that the Sorting Hat would be reliable for once.

 …

 “Strange, so strange.”

After Kyle put on the sorting hat, he heard a small voice in his ear saying: "You actually thanked me sincerely? You shouldn't. I mean, are you really that kind of a good boy?"

"Of course I am!" Kyle said seriously: "You can go and ask around. Both the Weasley family and Mr. Scamander have said that I am the most polite boy they have ever seen.

 So please don’t slander me, otherwise I will complain to you even if you are just a hat. "

　　　…”

The Sorting Hat fell into rare silence. The tip of the hat swayed back and forth unconsciously, as if it was speechless or struggling with something.

After a long time, he continued: "Your shameless look makes me feel like I have returned to more than a thousand years ago, but at that time I was just an ordinary hat, just on Godric's head.

So, how about going to Gryffindor, I feel like that should be...forget it, it's not suitable for you. "

"I think…"

"Let me think about it." Kyle was about to speak when he was interrupted by the Sorting Hat: "It is better to go to Slytherin. You will go to glory there, there is no doubt about it."

"that…"

"Etc., etc."

For the second time, the Sorting Hat once again interrupted Kyle: "No, it's still inappropriate, and if you go to Slytherin, Snape will definitely pour some weird potions on me in the future. Let me think again...

 Dumbledore has posed a big problem for me... Unfortunately, it would be great if Azkaban also belonged to Hogwarts, or Nurmengard. "

 …

The Sorting Hat's tone sounded like he was joking, but Kyle couldn't laugh at all... What's the situation? He didn't seem to have done anything wrong. At most, he just scared Connor just now. Could it be that because of this? Are you going to assign him to Nurmengard?

　　It’s not reasonable anymore!

 Besides, the entire magic world does this, and there are many people who are even more exaggerated than what he said. Why are they okay?

 There is no such double standard.

Kyle felt that he should do something. If the Sorting Hat really shouted out, it would be the end of the world.

That's it, Azkaban, it's under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, so you can't just go there.

But Nurmengard is different. Dumbledore has connections there, so it’s not easy to send someone there.

Although Kyle knew in his heart, the reason why the Sorting Hat, a petty person, said this was most likely because he was dissatisfied with what he had just said to complain about it, and just wanted to get back to the place. It was impossible to call out that place.

 But what if…

 A hat that has existed for more than a thousand years and still has independent consciousness. No one knows what it is thinking. What if it gets a twitch in its head and wants to shout to liven up the atmosphere.

　　 are all possible. "Well..." Kyle said with a harmless smile: "The song you just played was good, especially the first few lines. The lyrics are concise and the tone is brisk. It is much better than the cliches of the Weird Sisters."

Upon hearing this, the Sorting Hat suddenly became interested: "You also think it sounds good, right? Let me just say, it took me a year to come up with it, how could it not sound good. Only Dumbledore doesn't understand appreciation, but he actually You even persuaded me to sing the school song, that old bee!”

Forehead…

Kyle was not going to say bad things about him in front of the principal's eyes. This was too risky, even if he couldn't hear it.

After making two dry coughs to fool him, Kyle continued: "I would like to ask, your song sounds a bit familiar to me. Is it in the rap style?"

"Rap style..." the Sorting Hat asked curiously: "What does this mean?"

"You don't know! You are self-taught, that's amazing." Kyle pretended to be shocked at first, and then explained: "Rap, also called rap or rap, is a very popular Muggle music. style."

 “Muggle music…” The Sorting Hat became even more curious.

“Yes, I think you can give it a try, it should suit you very well.” Kyle said sincerely: “If you need it, I can give you a gift in this regard at Christmas.”

"Okay... no, what I mean is that we should sort the houses first. It has been a long time. You must be hungry too. It will be bad if you delay the dinner." The Sorting Hat cleared his throat and said: "Yes. Now, where did we just talk?"

Kyle smiled and said: "You just said that I am a good and polite boy, but you think Gryffindor, Slytherin and Ravenclaw are not suitable for me."

“Huh? I mentioned Ravenc just now... Oh, I almost forgot, it’s true, you’re absolutely right.

 In this case, the result is already obvious..."

 “Hufflepuff!”

The moment Kyle's sorting result was announced, the entire auditorium, including the teachers' bench, burst into thunderous applause.

Twenty minutes have passed. This can be called the longest sorting in the history of Hogwarts, and it is finally over.

 They were really hungry, after all, at this time in previous years, the dinner would have started long ago.

The Hufflepuff dining table was particularly lively. Cedric no longer cared about the Quidditch team and came over to give Kyle a hug enthusiastically.

 “That’s great Kyle, I knew you would come to Hufflepuff.”

Kyle smiled and said, "You have a better eye for hats."

 “Huh?” Cedric was stunned for a moment, not sure what this meant.

But Kyle just smiled and did not explain.

Just at this moment, several seniors came over to shake hands with him. Judging from the badges on their bodies, they should be Hufflepuff prefects.

 This is also a common practice in every college. While expressing welcome, you can also make yourself familiar in front of the new students.

Kyle greeted them with a smile, and then sat on the empty seat next to Cedric.

The person sitting here before was a prefect, but after finding out that Kyle and Cedric knew each other, he took the initiative to give up this seat.

 After Kyle sat down, he turned his attention to the Sorting Hat like everyone else.

He had always wanted to come to Hufflepuff. After all, Newt is a Hufflepuff, and his father, Chris, also graduated from Hufflepuff. As a wizard who also likes magical animals, he naturally wanted to come here to experience it.

In addition, Kyle doesn't want to think about Voldemort, the Dark Lord or the like now. He just wants to enjoy the excitement of magic and the school life at Hogwarts wholeheartedly, and the enthusiastic and loyal Hufflepuff is undoubtedly the best s Choice.

 This is important because Hufflepuff's dormitory is right next to the kitchen.
