Primordial Warlock of Hogwarts

At this time, someone suddenly screamed.

DeWitt looked at the source of the scream, and through the gaps in the crowd, he saw pale heads emerging from the wall - eyes open, translucent, smiling, and there were more than one.

It must be a ghost, right?DeWitt thought to himself, but why can everyone see it? 1 The ghosts are still wearing inappropriate clothes, but the color of the clothes has been replaced by white in different grayscales. One of them is still greeting the new students.Soon, the ghosts were driven through the wall and into the auditorium next door - Professor McGonagall was really here.

"Now, stand in single file," Professor McGonagall said to the first-years, "and follow me."

Follow Professor McGonagall to the hall and then to the auditorium - the auditorium is in line with DeWitt's inherent impression. It is magnificent and brightly lit. What is commendable is that the ceiling of the auditorium has been transformed by magic into a starry sky, from the ground to the top. The upper part of this gap was illuminated by lighted candles floating in the air.

"It's been enchanted here and looks like the sky outside," DeWitt heard Hermione whisper, "I read about it in Hogwarts: A History."

In other words, it was not the real night sky. The fake starry sky actually increased the gold content of this magic.

Now the first-year students are standing in a row facing their seniors.It felt bad to be watched. DeWitt tried hard to control the muscles on her face and focus on Professor McGonagall. She moved the chair, took out some old hats, and the ones on her head. The style seems to be similar.

It seems there is no political review involved?DeWitt secretly speculated whether monsters unique to the magical world would emerge from the hat and accept challenges in turn?Soon there was no need to guess anymore. The patched wizard hat with old dust hidden in its folds suddenly spoke. It sang a song - the tune was unpleasant, but the words were pronounced clearly and the content was being summarized and refined. Finally, DeWitt had his own guess.

This is a mind-reading hat. The hat will determine which house the new students should be assigned to based on their thoughts - the brave ones will go to Gryffindor, the diligent ones will go to Hufflepuff, the smart ones will go to Ravenclaw, and the scheming ones will go to Ravenclaw. Slytherin.Generally speaking, the first three are excellent qualities worthy of recognition, while the last one is something that everyone hopes they have, but everyone does not want to be evaluated in this way by others.

It doesn't matter which house you enter, DeWitt originally thought so, but he heard Ron praying from the side: "Don't ever sort me into Slytherin, never sort me into Slytherin, Qian Don't sort me into Slytherin..."

"Why do you say that?" DeWitt tried to find out some secret information to see if Ron, a pure-blood family, could tell him some secret information. Several Muggle-born freshmen around him also pricked up their ears.

"The students taught by Slytherin are all bad ones. When the mysterious man was active, those who followed the mysterious man to poison other wizards, even the mysterious man himself, were basically from Slytherin, and as long as they were pure Blood, if there are really Muggle-born wizards who are sorted into Slytherin House..." Ron threatened with certainty: "I can't even imagine what they will encounter! But generally, Muggle-born freshmen will not be Sorted into Slytherin."

"Slytherin students are not popular?" DeWitt asked again: "Do they only play with people from their own house?"

"Pretty much," Ron said. "They have their own little circle and they look down on people outside that circle."

In other words, if you join Slytherin, even if you have to fight against the other three houses in exchange for the qualification to integrate into the "small circle", you will inevitably encounter some problems during the integration process. In addition, DeWitt himself is not a pure-blood, and his family background is not good... No, it seems that Slytherin is not a good place to go, and judging from Ron's appearance, it is a recognized fact that Slytherin has a poor reputation. .If you want to stay out of trouble, it's better to consider the other three colleges.

With such random thoughts, DeWitt subconsciously ignored the fact that sorting does not mean he can go to whichever college he wants. It was not until the first sorting result came out that he realized that he should think about how to deal with the Sorting Hat's mind reading. The problem.

Generally speaking, to deal with the mental state, only one spell "Calm and Peace" 2 is enough. During the duration of the spell, whether it is charm, silence, madness, fear... as long as it is negative on the mental level Status, all are ineffective in the face of this spell, and the learning threshold is low, almost every mage can do it.But the mind-reading DeWitt here has never been seen, and Mrs. White has never mentioned it. What should we do?He quickly figured out that the only thing he could do now was to cast a spell on himself, first using "Calmness and Peace of Mind".

The order of the Sorting Ceremony is in alphabetical order by last name. The first one is Hannah Abbott, and the following ones are not memorable. The first familiar name I heard is Hermione. She entered Gryffindor. Will Longbottom, he also entered Gryffindor, and then Draco Malfoy - when it was the boy's turn, Ron said with confidence: "This must be a Slytherin." The result was the same. , as soon as the hat touched Malfoy's hair, the result was immediately announced to be Slytherin.

Then there's Harry Potter.

When Harry Potter's name was read, DeWitt finally had the opportunity to realize his status from the reactions of a large number of wizards - the buzz in the entire auditorium was like a swarm of bees emerging from the nest. , everyone was whispering to each other, asking people around him if this Potter was the Potter they thought he was.When the result of "Gryffindor" was loudly announced by the sorting hat, everyone in the whole house was honored, especially the Gryffindor prefect, who stood up excitedly and shook hands with Harry. Everyone thought that Receiving Harry Potter is an Academy honor.

DeWitt was the second to last one, and Ron was sorted into Gryffindor before him. This result made him think that he should belong - look, everyone he knew was admitted to Gryffindor, Will I be an exception?So until he sat on the chair, DeWitt was not too nervous. He maintained "calmness and tranquility", expelled the disgust of the stain on the hat, and then put the hat on his head.

A voice sounded in DeWitt's heart: "So...calm. I haven't seen such a stable freshman in a long time."

What does it mean?What kind of magic is this?DeWitt didn't make a sound. His thinking speed increased in an instant and methodically. After all, being calm and tranquil could only allow him to control himself, not give up thinking.

"Slow down, slow down," the Sorting Hat shouted in DeWitt's heart: "Your thoughts are moving too fast, I don't want to see..."

It's amazing, DeWitt knew that his mind would be read, and he was prepared. But what about his memory?Will the Sorting Hat have the ability to follow its own thoughts and read all of its memories?If the ceremony is not interrupted, does it still have to be seen?It feels really bad to have your privacy being spied on. No matter what, your memories must not be seen. This is a risk that cannot be taken. Something must be done to eliminate the risk of memories being spied on.So he took off his hat, threw it to the ground, stood up suddenly, looked at Professor McGonagall and asked in a deep voice: "Professor! This hat is checking my memory! What's going on?"

1: There is a soul in "Original Sin", but you must learn the skill of spiritual vision to see it and communicate with the soul.

2: It is also a skill in the game. The effect is to clear the negative mental state. The explanations added here are all for logical and self-consistent personal understanding.
