Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Latest website: Sorting hat, this can be said to be the continuation of Hogwarts' most precious spirit.

It was made about a thousand years ago, and it was originally just an ordinary hat belonging to Godric Gryffindor.

Later, in order for the four founders to continue to divide the freshmen into different colleges at Hogwarts after their death, Gryffindor took out his own hat and injected ideas into it together with the other three founders.

From then on, the Sorting Hat became angry and began to be responsible for selecting and evaluating new students, and sorting them into different colleges.

For a thousand years, the Sorting Hat has been passed down from generation to generation by successive principals. Except for the use in sorting ceremonies, it will be kept in the principal's office most of the time. As the most important magical treasure of Hogwarts, it should be kept properly stand up.

Before the opening banquet of each school year, first-year freshmen will line up to prepare for the branch.

The order of the branches is in alphabetical order of the students' names. After the freshman preparing to sort out sits on a stool, the sorting hat that has been vicissitudes of life, tattered, dirty, and patched will be worn on his or her head. There is a crack near the brim. When the sorting cap speaks loudly or sings, the crack will open like a mouth. The sorting cap also speaks in a subtle voice in the ear of the wearer, and can interpret their thoughts and respond to them through the mindfulness of mind.

After a period of consideration, the hat will shout out his choice to everyone, and the freshmen will be sorted into this college.

Usually the sorting hat will only consider a few seconds, but occasionally it will take longer, even five minutes (called "hat embarrassment"). In the process of sorting, the sorting hat sometimes communicates with freshmen, but it usually doesn't take long.

People may occasionally question some branching decisions of the Sorting Hat, but never question the Sorting Hat itself, because in a sense, this top wizard hat represents the will of the four founders and even the previous principals——

At least in the eyes of most wizards, the Sorting Hat, like Dumbledore, has a reassuring magical power.

Until this first day...

This conscientious sorting hat is crazy.

crazy--

...

The auditorium is a sea of ​​pointed black hats. Every long college table is full of students. Their faces are shining brightly by the thousands of candles floating on the table, and most of the people’s faces are shining. With a look of excitement.

"It's the eldest sister! It's amazing!"

Ron Weasley let out an awe-inspiring voice, his face full of admiration.

And beside him, the Weasley twin brothers also looked in admiration in the same way-is this the strength of Elena Moonlight Kaslana? It's almost comparable to a humanoid leather ghost, and easily did what they couldn't do.

"Oh," Hagrid shook his head, muffled, "this is not a good thing."

Hogwarts freshmen must wear a sorting hat to be assigned to each college, but in Hagrid's impression, since he entered the school, the sorting hat has never seen such a weird situation in so many years.

"Why? You can choose the college at will, isn't this the most beautiful thing?"

Harry raised his head, looked at the familiar big man beside him, and asked softly, a little confused.

You know, when he was sorted out last year, even if he took the initiative to fill in "volunteer", the sorting hat specifically asked him whether he would consider going to Slytherin College. As far as he knows, Hermione, Neville and others have also met Similar problems.

According to Sister Elena’s explanation, this often means that a student has multiple outstanding qualities at the same time.

"It's not the same, Harry. Although it looks similar, it's not the same in essence."

Hermione Granger frowned slightly and looked at the white-haired ball not far away with some worry.

"If it's because you can't make a choice, then the Sorting Hat should ask Elena in a whisper. Even if you fall into a long silence than everyone else, it is impossible to have such a strange situation-in other words, from the current situation From the perspective of the situation, at least one of Elena and the Sorting Hat has a problem, and it may even be a problem at the same time."

"So what do you think will be the problem?"

Percy Weasley also turned her head and actively joined the topic.

"Granger, in the entire Hogwarts, you and Elena should be the most familiar..."

Following Hermione Granger's explanation, he also noticed something wrong.

Especially when Professor McGonagall took the Sorting Hat off Elena's head, and the Sorting Hat continued to read the name of the college for himself, most of the little wizards realized that there must be a problem. Up.

This situation is like...

Elena once described to them the situation where the computer fell into an endless loop.

Hermione Granger looked at the hat thoughtfully, with more and more confusion in her eyes—but the question was...

At this moment, Professor Dumbledore stood up suddenly, strode towards the branching ceremony venue in front of the staff table. Although Dumbledore had been high for many years, the pace of the old man was steady and faster than most people.

"Professor Dumbledore, Sorting Hat, Elena..."

Professor McGonagall pinched the "crazy" sorting hat, and there was an extremely rare bewilderment on his face.

As the vice principal of Hogwarts, McGonagall has tried several ways just now, but the Sorting Hat still has no response. In view of the speciality of the Sorting Hat to Hogwarts, she dare not try something that may be dangerous. The spell.

To make matters worse, Elena Kaslana's state also seems to be something wrong.

After Professor McGonagall took off the sorting cap from Elena’s head, she noticed that the girl’s beautiful lake-blue eyes seemed to be condensed with a thin layer of ice, like a sculpture without any emotion, with a trace of lethargy. It was shockingly cold and deep.

"Don't worry about the Sorting Hat for now, it shouldn't be a big problem..."

Dumbledore waved his hand, the candlelight gleamed on his beard, and he looked at Elena carefully.

Where did he seem to have seen this state before——

By the way, Le May, Nicole Le May!

The human brain has its limits, especially so for wizards. If you recall a lot of details in a short period of time, it is easy for purely rational thinking to occupy all your mind, thus presenting this kind of indifference like a robot doll.

Even for Dumbledore, this happens sometimes-the more powerful the wizard, the harder it is to forget things.

Because of this, Albus Dumbledore needed an exclusive meditation basin to store some important but not commonly used scattered memories from time to time, so as not to fall into the kind of information that was overwhelmed when he was thinking about certain things. in.

As for why Elena is in such a state...

Dumbledore glanced at Grindelwald sitting in the faculty seat~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the sorting hat that was temporarily in a "crazy" state, and a dignified look flashed across his face-if not unexpected. , Should it be because of prophetic memory?

The principle of the Sorting Hat is actually an unlimited soft mindfulness.

It will analyze and judge each piece of information based on the content read from the students' minds and the magic left by the Big Four, and then select the most suitable students to go to the local college.

Because of this, the more complex and huge emotions and experiences, the more difficult it is for the Sorting Hat, and if it is...

Dumbledore suddenly remembered the breathtaking deduction of the world situation that the girl had made in the Slytherin lounge shortly after meeting Elena last year; and in the past year, Following Elena’s subtle actions, the storms in the non-magical and magical worlds of the former Soviet Union were set off; and what Elena said that night about the prediction of the end of Hogwarts...

Alas, I don't know what the poor sorting hat saw in the end.
