Azkaban: The Fifth House of Hogwarts

The Sorting Hat at Hogwarts is the most famous of the three inherited magic props at Hogwarts. Few people know about the Pen of Storage and the Book of Admission, but everyone knows that there is one in Hogwarts that can read The magic hat of the human heart.

Just after the Sorting Hat was placed on Rollo's head, it used its ability as usual to understand the nature of this person and choose the most suitable college for him based on his nature.

But this time, the old hat felt slightly different. He did not read the child's thoughts immediately. Instead, a refreshing breeze made the old hat open his eyes.

What he saw was a soft green grass, and the somewhat curious Sorting Hat looked around. Everything he saw and felt was completely indistinguishable from reality, as if it were real.

At the moment when he was wondering why he came here instead of seeing the child's heart... The old hat's gaze was constantly raised, and he was gently held up by a pair of hands. A man wearing exquisite hunter clothes, A man with a gorgeous bow and arrow on his back appeared in front of him.

The man didn't speak. He just stared at the old hat with a slight smile. His slender hands gently brushed the old hat's body. A feeling that made the hat intoxicated emerged spontaneously. This wonderful feeling The experience was unprecedented, and even the hat in question could not describe the beauty of this touch in words.

This made the Sorting Hat open his mouth and moan intoxicatedly.

"So you can talk."

The man spoke, and the voice that passed into the Sorting Hat's ears was full of seductive magnetism. An emotion called shyness burst out in the old hat's heart, which made the old hat blush slightly. If it had any, That will definitely happen.

"What a charming little guy."

The man dressed as a hunter showed a bright smile and said softly: "This is my first time meeting a talking hat."

"Yes...really?" The Sorting Hat twisted its body slightly, seeming a little shy, but vaguely, it seemed to be looking forward to something. The intimacy of the person in front of him made the Sorting Hat a little nervous. It's hard to resist.

"Let's do something memorable together. Maybe this will be an unprecedented experience."

"I will keep it in mind, remember you."

The fingers that were gently circling around the brim tickled the sorting hat. The hat shook its tip like a puppy's tail happily wagging. Perhaps this silence represented tacit agreement, so the man's movements became even louder. .

The man held the sides of his hat,

The pointed tip of the old hat swings back and forth, and the wrinkles on the body are also stretched out. The eyes that are usually invisible are two tightly closed thin cracks.

But at this moment, these eyes were wide open, as if they wanted to remember everything good that happened at this moment forever.

"My God! My God!"

The old hat sighed.

"I am...I should...I am..."

"I seem to be the Sorting Hat?"

The old hat who murmured intermittently was slightly dazed, but it was this subconscious whisper that kept him from forgetting who he was and his responsibilities.

"That kid is still waiting for me!"

The Sorting Hat's thousand-year responsibilities and obligations made the old hat slightly sober up from this intoxicating joy.

"I haven't assigned an academy to that child yet. Stop, please stop. I want to go back. I still have things to do!"

"I am the Sorting Hat of Hogwarts...I can't do this...I have to go back!"

"Stop, okay? Stop, I have to go back!"

The man's movements slowed down slightly, but did not stop. The old hat, who was getting more and more anxious inside, began to struggle. He twisted his body and tried to get out of the man's grasp, but in terms of strength, they were simply not comparable.

The urgency and panic of not being able to fulfill his thousand-year duty in time caused the old hat to start screaming.

"Please let me go, I still have very important things to do!"

"You are like this...you are like this...you are letting the old hat neglect his duties. I have very important things that have not been completed!"

"Please stop! You will get in trouble if you do this."

The man's movements stopped here. After hearing the old hat's voice of denial, he did not continue. He realized that a slight resistance would add flavor, but if he was rejected forcefully, it would not be pleasant. Something happened.

But the sudden pause also made the old hat tremble violently, and the sentence that was about to blurt out turned into a slightly sharp scream.

Outside, what people saw was the Sorting Hat that was twisting and turning after being placed on Rollo's head. It looked completely different from the ordinary little wizard wearing it while waiting to be sorted.

This is a rarer situation than 'hat embarrassment'.

Whenever the Sorting Hat is struggling with how to allocate time to the house for more than 5 minutes, this difficult decision is called hat embarrassment. In Hogwarts, hat embarrassment is a very rare situation, but dancing like this Twisting his body like this, this is really the first time I have seen him.

Whispers continued, and Professor McGonagall, who was beside Rollo, also walked towards Dumbledore in a strange way.

"What happened? Will this child be okay?"

After Professor McGonagall asked everyone this question, the commotion among the students immediately disappeared, and everyone pricked up their ears and waited for Dumbledore's answer.

"Maybe..."

Dumbledore walked to Rollo's side. He took out his wand and waved it gently, as if he was exploring something.

"Someone has cast a powerful...very powerful protective spell on him."

"This magic prevents all prying eyes on his memory... It has never been seen before, and even I have never heard of it..."

The conclusion given by Dumbledore made the young wizards slightly open their mouths in surprise. This was the first time they heard such a high evaluation from Dumbledore.

Just when people were shocked by the news, the old hat that was originally twisting on top of Rollo's head suddenly bent its tip backwards, and the mouth that turned into a crack opened to the limit, spitting out a loud voice——

"Ah! Zi! Ka! Ban!"

This somewhat hysterical scream echoed continuously in the auditorium hall, as if the Sorting Hat, which had been drained of its strength, lay softly on Rollo's head.

"Hu-hu-I...I'm back?"

In the silence, the Sorting Hat gasped, and then opened his mouth in confusion. He turned in Dumbledore's direction as if he wanted to say something, but in the next second, he quickly raised the tip of his hat and spoke very quickly.

"What am I talking about! No! No! It's not Azkaban, this child isn't..."

"Sorry, Albus, I didn't mean that, I meant..."

At this time, the Sorting Hat was stunned again. After experiencing the illusion that was no different from reality, the Sorting Hat seemed to be able to vaguely read some of the child's heart at this moment.

That is a powerful and stubborn obsession. This child has one thing that he wants to stick to at all costs. This idea seems to have existed for more than ten years... But isn't this child only 11 years old?

The Sorting Hat couldn't help but think more, and the vague perception quickly faded away, and he would no longer be able to read the child's heart.

"I apologize for my previous remarks!"

The Sorting Hat spoke very loudly, even overshadowing the surprise and discussion among the young wizards.

"It was an accident just now. I mean, this child's sorting is not Azkaban. Absolutely not. This is my fault."

"The college he is going to is——"

Amid the shouts of the Sorting Hat, the little wizards became quiet again, waiting for the final distribution of the Sorting Hat.

"Slytherin!"

There were no cheers or applause, and the little wizards were all silenced by this unexpected but seemingly natural answer.

As we all know, Slytherin has indeed produced many outstanding wizards, but Slytherin has produced more "dark wizards". Of course, there are deeper reasons for this problem, which will not be discussed in detail here.

The Dark Lord who once wanted to destroy, enslave, and rule England's wizarding world. Nowadays, even if he is dead, the mysterious man whose name no one dares to mention was born in Slytherin. The Sorting Hat's remarks... seem to be telling everyone. .

Rollo Selkas Sadwind is the next Dark Lord to emerge from Slytherin.
