Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

"Um!?"

On the seat, Draco's originally calm expression suddenly became stiff.

His eyes widened, and he almost stood up and threw his hat on the ground.

Fortunately, the Sorting Hat's conversation will not be heard by others until the name is read.

He raised his head slightly, his eyes kept turning up, looking at the Sorting Hat on his head in disbelief, and at the same time he asked in his mind

"Are you kidding?!"

The Sorting Hat was stunned by this sudden question. Its expression was confused at first, and then a little helpless, and explained softly.

"Actually, for a Malfoy, this is really strange..." As he said that, he paused, as if he wanted to confirm it carefully.

Then he continued

"But it's true - compared to Slytherin, I think Ravenclaw will be more suitable for you. I can feel your pursuit of knowledge and wisdom. There is no doubt that if you really go to Ravenclaw

Crow, your talents will be thoroughly developed, and there will be the best stage for you to display them freely."

"You are talking nonsense!!"

Draco's eyes twitched, his hands involuntarily grabbed the edges of the stool, and a hint of anger gradually appeared on his face.

"What's wrong Draco?"

Goyle held the big book in his hand, looked at Crabbe with some doubts, and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know... maybe there's something wrong with the Sorting Hat?" Crabbe responded with a hint of hesitation in his tone.

Anyway, from beginning to end, neither of them ever considered the possibility of Draco being assigned to another college!

Because he is a Malfoy! The Malfoy family has been graduates of Slytherin College for generations. From ancient times to the present, this has almost become an unchangeable tradition. It seems that in people's minds, this is not the case at all.

It’s not worth thinking about, but it’s a matter of course!

Harry frowned slightly, looking at Draco's changed expression, with a bit of worry in his eyes.

He looked at Ron beside him and asked in a low voice

"Draco what happened?"

Ron shrugged and looked at Harry with an expression like "I've just arrived, how can I know so many things?"

But after thinking about it, I still gave my own analysis.

"Perhaps... the Sorting Hat feels that he has no courage, no cleverness, no hard work, and no ambition..."

As he spoke, Ron couldn't help but smile again on his lips.

"So...it's going to kick Draco out!"

After saying this, it seemed that even he himself believed it to be true, and his eyes gradually lit up.

"..." Harry said nothing and couldn't help but give him a big eye roll to express his speechless emotions.

He has seen through it all, this friend of his is really unreliable.

"…………"

At the professor's seat, Charlie raised his eyebrows and subconsciously leaned on the table with his arms. While stroking the ring on his finger, he looked at Della, who could still feel his uneasy mood at the moment even though his back was turned.

division.

Vaguely, he seemed to understand something.

Subconsciously, he turned to look at Professor Flitwick beside him.

Flitwick stroked his beard. A wise man like him would naturally not be as confused as Charlie. He squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the scene in front of him, as if he was watching something interesting.

Seeing Charlie looking at him, he couldn't help but smile back and said quietly

"Quite strange... isn't it?"

Charlie opened his mouth, his eyes hesitated a bit, but eventually turned into a smile, nodded in agreement, and said

"It's really... really incredible."

However, an earth-shattering shock had already occurred in his heart.

Is it possible that he really wants to take Draco to Ravenclaw?!

When Charlie thought of this, the expression on his face changed from a smile to a bit complicated.

He turned his head back and continued to look at Draco's back, feeling vaguely expectant in his heart for a moment.

………………………

"I don't care!!!" Draco gritted his teeth and roared loudly at the Sorting Hat in his heart.

"Oh...calm down, boy."

The Sorting Hat's expression gradually showed a bit of trouble and human headache.

In this short two or three minutes of silence, he had already tried several ways to persuade the child under him, telling him how suitable Ravenclaw was for him.

.

However, he really didn't expect that this kid from the Malfoy family could be so stubborn - no matter how hard it was, he just couldn't get enough of it.

Seriously.

The Sorting Hat couldn't help but think of

After so many years in this industry, this is the first time I have encountered such a stubborn little wizard.

There was no other way. Finally, after going through some painful struggles, the Sorting Hat finally sighed.

There was a bit of fatigue in his tone, and he softened a lot.

"Okay... okay..." The tip of the Sorting Hat dropped a bit, which undoubtedly represented some kind of compromise at this moment.

"I can let you go to Slytherin...but" the Sorting Hat continued

"I want to know why you are so eager to go there?"

After saying that, without waiting for Draco to answer his question, he thought of a reason and then asked

"Is it because of your family, the glory of your Malfoy family or something?"

"It's because my uncle——"

Malfoy's tone became firm again, he held his head high, and his hands that had subconsciously grasped the edge of the chair were released and folded calmly on his lap.

"Wha, what!?"

There was an expression of surprise on the Sorting Hat's face. He had actually thought up countless reasons for the other party to go to Slytherin. The so-called questioning, to a certain extent, was just to give him a question.

Just down the stairs.

But this reason was something he never thought of.

After being stunned for a short time, he couldn't help but become extremely curious about this child.

"Your uncle, why? Is it because he wants you to go to Slytherin?"

"No"

Draco's eyes became wider and wider, and the determination in his eyes was simply not something a child of this age has.

"It's because he graduated from Slytherin - I hope that I can follow his steps, re-walk the path he took, and finally become a person like him."

"..." The Sorting Hat was silent for a moment.

"That's interesting...what's your name, Draco? I think I remember the name."

"Okay...as you wish."

"Draco Malfoy, he will go to————Slytherin!!!!!"
