Primordial Warlock of Hogwarts

The auditorium fell silent.

Perhaps since the founding of Hogwarts, no new student has dared to take off the sorting hat before announcing the result and throw it roughly to the ground.

But today, everyone in Hogwarts was shocked by DeWitt's courage.But for DeWitt, this has nothing to do with courage. Perhaps accepting it in silence is the most appropriate result, but he cannot bear the risk of leaking his memory - even if no one cares about his origins, controlling the Whites and driving Mrs. White to kill The husband's crimes must never be discovered.Compared with these costs, it is necessary to make some noise during the sorting ceremony - even if he has to wear the sorting hat again, DeWitt must at least understand the magic on the hat and find a way to deal with it.

We can also test Hogwarts' attitude towards students, DeWitt thought again.

Various discussions gradually arose.

"How ignorant," the arrogant Slytherin joked in a low voice: "But it is not easy for a person of this kind of background to realize that there is magic on the Sorting Hat, but I don't want to be in the same house as this kind of person - I want to Think about it, this needs to be explained and that needs to be explained..."

"He's so fierce," Ron and Harry muttered at the Gryffindor table, "How dare he go through such trouble during the Sorting Ceremony..."

"The action when he threw the Sorting Hat was so decisive," Ron's brother Fred interjected: "Did you see that, George? I wanted to go up and throw it too."

"Why didn't we think of this trick when we entered school?" George patted his thigh regretfully: "It's so cool... He looks like a masked hero. Once his memory is spied on, something bad will happen."

Seeing that the atmosphere among the students was getting out of hand, Professor McGonagall cleared her throat forcefully, raised her voice and said to DeWitt: "Mr. Walder?"

"Professor," DeWitt replied, putting his hand in his pocket and holding his wand, "I'm right here."

"I just want to confirm your name." Professor McGonagall hurriedly came over and picked up the Sorting Hat from the ground. Although the hat was so dirty, she still brushed off the dust on it when it fell to the ground and said distressedly: "This is It has been a tradition since the founding of Hogwarts that the Sorting Hat will decide which house the new students should be assigned to based on the student's reaction after putting on the hat, hearing the hat speak, and the content of the subsequent conversation - so the sorting ceremony is just A heart-to-heart conversation, and as the vice-chancellor, I guarantee that the Sorting Hat will not proactively reveal the content of its conversation with any student."

So it can be passively leaked?DeWitt deliberately argued in his heart.He didn't really listen to Professor McGonagall's words, mainly because he was guarding his back - the other professors and principal of Hogwarts were sitting in the seats at the back. Now that something unexpected happened, it was only Professor McGonagall who was handling it from beginning to end. , the legendary most powerful wizard of our time remained silent.Maybe he was staring at himself right now... However, the students who were already seated could clearly see that their principal was happily talking to the professor next to him.

"No one has ever treated me like this before," the Sorting Hat also spoke, with a fold on the hat opening and closing. His tone was a little solemn, but it didn't seem to be angry, but a surprise. "But it's excusable. . Look, don’t think I’m a hater, I have my secrets too, and of course I understand that you have some little secrets, but don’t worry – come on, freshman, continue our conversation – a top-secret conversation.”

From the beginning to the end, no one admitted that there is such a thing as reading memory, and no one explained the magic of mind reading. They only said that it is a dialogue with the mind at the spiritual level. Is this any different from not saying it?DeWitt was not satisfied with this answer. He drooped his eyelids and twirled the wand in his pocket.I really want to question it, but I really don’t have enough capital right now. Am I qualified to ask for an absolutely detailed explanation?The high-ranking principals and professors are all adults. In the face of almost iron-clad rules that have been passed down for thousands of years, will they care about a child's feelings?

Therefore, DeWitt never thought of making an exception for himself. He just wanted to use more drastic means to suspend the sorting ceremony to ensure that the memory would not be spied on.

Suddenly someone spoke behind him: "Minerva, let me talk to this child."

This also gave DeWitt the opportunity to turn around naturally, and he saw the old man with a white beard speaking in the middle of the teacher's chair—if he guessed correctly, this should be Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts.

There are many names attached to this man, but DeWitt cannot tell the greatness of Dumbledore from his appearance.The most impressive thing about the principal's appearance at first glance is the pair of blue eyes, which are deep and wise, but not lacking in cunning.The bridge of his nose is crooked, but this does not affect his personal image at all. On the contrary, it makes him look more kind. Together with the weird semi-circular eyes, it is even a little funny.

Then the principal stood up. He was very tall and should be thin, but the robe on his body made him look a little bloated.After leaving his seat, the old man moved to DeWitt's side.Now he could clearly see every white beard hanging down to his belly, and then said: "Don't be nervous, Mr. Wald, Hogwarts will not force students, let alone pry into students' memories without reason. We respect Everyone's privacy - In order to dispel your concerns and take up less time, I think everyone in the auditorium is hungry now. Please allow me to briefly explain the relevant magic to you, the most important of which is - —There is no magic that can flip through a person's memory like flipping through a book. The reason why the Sorting Hat talks in his heart is just to hear the most real thoughts and real-time thoughts in the conversation. I think you may not believe it now. ...But you will surely learn later that Hogwarts does not harm its students."

Unexpectedly, DeWitt did not expect Dumbledore to be such a person - without any airs, every word of his speech was sincere and cordial, showing great tolerance to DeWitt's doubts, without a trace of arrogance. , some are just treated equally.So he raised his head and met Dumbledore's sincere eyes, but there seemed to be something else besides the sincere emotion, that is, this extra thing, which made DeWitt completely driven by intuition and take the initiative to move. After opening his eyes and ruling out that there was something wrong with this part, he had already confirmed in his mind that Principal Dumbledore should be a decent person, but a decent person would not be stingy about using some useful methods.At the same time, he also asked himself, and felt that there was no reason to be regarded as an exception. After all, only he knew his difference. In fact, the difference he thought he had was a joke to others. Even in the eyes of these adults, he was just a sensitive person. The new life has no deceptive value.

At this point, DeWitt had to stop.The principal personally came forward to explain to him, and if he bothers any more, he is just ignorant - maybe the principal doesn't care, the vice president doesn't care, and other professors don't care either, but that only proves that they are good people, and it doesn't affect DeWitt at all from delaying the rest of the people. time, maybe someone is scolding him now - everyone is here like this, why the hell do you make so many mistakes and delay the meal.

Without saying any more, DeWitt took the sorting hat and placed it on his head.

"What a suspicious new student." The Sorting Hat's voice echoed in his heart again. This time DeWitt paid attention to his whole body to ensure that nothing abnormal would happen - in fact, there was nothing wrong with his body or soul. No abnormality, the calming and tranquilizing effect still continues.

"Those who are careful live longer." DeWitt replied in his heart.

"Well... your tone of voice and way of thinking are really not what you should be at your age," the Sorting Hat was still joking: "You threw me to the ground - aren't you afraid that I will sort you into a house you don't want to go to? "

DeWitt asked rhetorically: "So the tradition since the founding of Hogwarts can only be implemented once?"

"Oh - I'm really sharp-tongued. Of course I won't affect the sorting result because of this. Generally speaking, I will also regard personal wishes as an important basis for sorting," the Sorting Hat said: "Why don't you think about it and recall your past……"
