Harry Potter's Catastrophe

Get in line and follow Professor McGonagall out of the room, through the foyer, and through a double door at the back into the luxurious dining room.

There are four long tables lined up in the hall, which are divided into four colleges, and then there are teachers' seats. Thousands of candles floated above the restaurant, lighting up the entire restaurant. The roof looked like it was open to the sky, and you could even see stars. There were plates and goblets on the table, but they were empty.

"Wow!" The freshmen exclaimed in surprise as they looked at this dreamy scene.

"This place has been enchanted, just like the sky outside. I read about it in "Hogwarts: A History of the School."" Hermione whispered to Carney and Neville.

Professor McGonagall brought them to the teacher's desk, told them to stand, then placed a four-cornered stool in front of them, and placed a tattered and dirty pointed wizard hat on top of the stool.

The noise in the restaurant stopped, the freshmen also fell silent, and the restaurant was completely silent. Then the hat twisted. A wide slit opened in the brim, like a mouth—and the hat began to sing:

You may think I'm not pretty,

But never judge a book by its cover.

If you can find a prettier hat than mine,

I could eat myself.

You can make your bowler hat black and shiny,

Keep your top hats sleek and crisp.

I am the magic hat used for testing at Hogwarts.

Naturally, it is superior to your hat.

Any hidden thoughts in your mind,

No one can escape the magic hat's golden eyes and fiery eyes.

Put it on and try it,

I will tell you which college you should be assigned to.

You may belong to Gryffindor, where there is courage buried deep in your heart,

Their courage, boldness and generosity make Gryffindor outstanding;

You may belong to Hufflepuff, where people are honest and loyal,

Hufflepuff students are stoic and honest, and are not afraid of hard work;

If you are smart, you might join the wise old Ravenclaw,

Those who are wise and learned will always meet their colleagues there;

Maybe you will enter Slytherin, maybe you will make sincere friends here,

But those cunning and insidious people will use any means to achieve their goals.

Come and wear me! Don’t be afraid! Don’t panic!

In my hands (although I don't even have a hand) you are absolutely safe

Because I am a thinking magic hat!

After the magic hat finished singing, the audience burst into applause. The magic hat bowed to the four dining tables one by one, and then stood still.

"So, we just need to put on this hat." Ron whispered again, "I want to kill Fred. He sounds like he wants to fight a giant." Harry smiled faintly. .

At this time, Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, holding a roll of parchment in her hand.

"Whoever's name I call now will put on his hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the sorting." She said, "Lime Erica!"

A little girl with a rosy complexion and two golden braids stumbled out of the queue and put on a hat that just covered her eyes. She sat down. There was a moment's pause - "Hufflepuff!" cried the Hat.

The people at the table on the right applauded Li Mei and welcomed her to sit at their table. Harry saw the Fat Friar Ghost waving happily to her as well.

"Susan Burns!"

"Hufflepuff!" shouted the Hat again. Susan quickly ran over to Hannah and sat down.

"Terry Butt!"

"Ravenclaw!"

This time the second table on the left clapped and applauded. When Terry joined them, several Ravenclaws stood up to shake his hand.

Mandy Broghe was also assigned to Ravenclaw, and Lavender Brown became the first new student in Gryffindor. The table on the far left immediately burst into cheers.

Then Millicent Burst became the new student in Slytherin.

Carney looked at the Slantlin table and found that their number was the smallest among the four houses, and it was no wonder.

"Justin Finch-Fletchley!"

"Hufflepuff!"

"Seamus Finnigan"

"Gryffindor!"

"Carney Strand"

Before Carney went up, he whispered to Neville, "Remember to put your hat back before you leave."

Carney puts on the hat. He knows that the Sorting Hat will speak to everyone who wears it. He will understand the thought and personality of the person who wears it and decide which house to be sorted to. Of course, he will also pay attention to personal wishes.

It's been a minute, huh? No response, where is the sound?

"Hat, say something!" He said in a voice that only he could hear.

"Wait, give me some time, this is really weird." The Sorting Hat finally spoke.

After another minute, everyone in the restaurant began to whisper, and the teachers at the teacher's desk also noticed this situation.

"You should hurry up, I'll wait until the flowers fade!" Carney said, "If you don't know, go to Gryffindor."

"Gryffindor? Why do you want to go to Gryffindor? What's so good about Gryffindor? It's just a house with low talent and all depends on courage. How about Slytherin? There's glory, power and help there. You get what you desire, money, beauty, fame.”

"No, I won't go." Damn it, I didn't expect you to be such a Sorting Hat. If the old man Dumbledore knew what you said and didn't wipe your ass, how could he be so deceptive as to say that you long for power? if.

"So, do you crave power?" The Sorting Hat twisted its hat.

"You are so coquettish, I want you to hurry up!" Carney felt that everyone was looking at him and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Gryffindor!"

Carney put his hat back and left quickly, walked to the Gryffindor table and sat down, greeting the seniors with a smile.

"Hermione Granger"

Hermione almost ran to the stool and hurriedly put the hat on her head.

"Gryffindor!" shouted the hat.

When Neville Longbottom's name was called, he was still thinking about what Carney said. After reacting, he trotted towards the stool and fell on the way. The Hat took a long time to make a decision about Neville. When the hat finally shouted "Gryffindor", Neville almost ran away with the hat on, but fortunately he took two steps and returned the hat to Professor McGonagall.

"Thanks to you." Neville sat down next to Carney, "otherwise it would have made people laugh."

"We are friends." Carney hit Neville on the shoulder. They were now familiar with each other.

Neville rubbed his head and smiled.

Hermione sat across from them, looking at the two of them, wondering what she was thinking.

Carney noticed Hermione's gaze and put his hand on Neville's shoulder. "It's still Hermione, right!"

"Yes." Neville also looked at Hermione, "We are friends."

"Of course." Hermione blushed slightly and turned her head to continue watching the sorting ceremony.

"Draco Malfoy"

When Malfoy's name was called, Malfoy strutted over and got his wish immediately. The hat almost touched his head when he screamed: "Slytherin!"

Malfoy went to join his friends Crabbe and Goyle, looking very pleased with himself.

At this time, there were not many people left.

Morn...Nott...Parkinson...then the Patil twins...then Sally-Anne Box...Lily Dupin, Blaise Chabini, and Ron , Ron was assigned to Gryffindor, and several of his brothers stood up to welcome him.

Finally, it was finally the turn - "Harry Potter!"

As Harry stepped forward, there was a sudden buzzing and murmur in the dining room like the hissing of a small flame.

"Potter, is she calling Potter?"

"Is that Harry Potter?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Harry, trying to find out what was different about the boy. They all wanted to see what the boy-who-lived looked like.

"Gryffindor!" shouted Harry after a moment as the hat twitched on his head.

Harry heard the Hat shout that last name to the whole dining room. He took off his hat and walked to the Gryffindor table on shaky legs. Prefect Percy stood up and shook his hand firmly. The Weasley twins shouted: "We have Potter! We have Potter!" Harry sat down next to Percy, the prefect.

After the last one was sorted, Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment, picked up the sorting hat and left.

Carney looked at the Sorting Hat that was taken away by Professor McGonagall, thinking about what he had just done in the Sorting House. It's so strange. The Sorting Hat is a magical object created by the four founders of Hogwarts. Why does it feel like it doesn't read my own thoughts? Do I have Occlumency? No, he read **!

He couldn't figure it out and was attracted by the food that suddenly appeared on the plate, so he put the matter aside. After all, you can't believe all the movies and novels in the past life. Maybe the Sorting Hat was talking crazy, who knows.
