Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Lilith walked to the stool with elegant steps, picked up her hat, and sat down, all movements and expressions impeccable.

"Why don't you put it on me?" Lilith turned the hat over in her hand, which confused her.

"I just feel that you are a little bit strange," Lilith's lips curled up slightly, "but don't worry, I won't look at you for long. If Mr. Moriarty hadn't cleaned you up, I would have read you a clear spring like water first.

, come again and clean it up."

"Oh Merlin's hat! Every little wizard has wanted to do that for centuries, but you're the first to say it!"

The hat screamed in shock, and then with a bang, a sword fell out of the hat and landed in Lilith's hand.

Lilith raised the sword with quick eyes and hands, and everyone could see clearly that it was a shining silver sword with a dazzling egg-sized ruby ​​inlaid on the hilt.

"The Sword of Gryffindor!"

The students' eyes widened, and even the professors on the professor's bench stood up.

Moriarty noticed a flash of surprise in Dumbledore's eyes, obviously this was unexpected.

But Moriarty felt that it was natural for Lilith to pull out the sword of Gryffindor.

She is confident, brave, and challenges the rules. Bold, passionate, and defies the law.

Lilith has many similar qualities to Godric Gryffindor.

The Sorting Hat obviously thought so too. It shouted loudly before Lilith put on the hat: "Gryffindor! You must be a Gryffindor!"

"No -" Lilith retorted: "I haven't put on my hat yet, you can't be sorted in advance!"

Lilith put the hat on her head and said the college she wanted to go to: "Slytherin! You'd better not make a mistake, every Pilivik is a Slytherin!"

"Slytherin? No, no, no, you draw the sword, Gryffindor will help you succeed." The hat persuaded.

"Who said that if you pull out the Sword of Gryffindor, you will definitely be sorted into Gryffindor House?" Lily did not give in at all.

"Well... no one has said that, but..." the hat organized the words: "Remember the story I said about the Sword of Gryffindor and the Staff of Slytherin? The Staff of Slytherin is back, and he

The old friend should also be held by the little wizard to continue their duel."

"What? You mean, I hold this sword and duel with Mr. Moriarty?" Lilith's eyes flashed back and forth between the sword and Moriarty.

"Although I would like to exchange magic with Mr. Moriarty, and I wouldn't mind trying to challenge Slytherin's family magic, it is definitely not a good idea to duel with swords."

Hat was anxious: "You have to get used to it, it can cut through most things, and you know there aren't many that can defeat Slytherin's staff."

"But I am a wizard!" Lilith looked very determined, and then she rolled her eyes maliciously.

"If you don't sort me into Slytherin, I will cut you open with the Sword of Gryffindor to see if there is a monster hidden inside you!"

"Hey! It's not like Gryffindor for you to threaten me!" The hat twisted on Lilith's head.

"Ha," Lilith laughed exaggeratedly: "There is no law that prohibits cutting the Sorting Hat with Gryffindor's sword."

"You..." Hat said angrily: "Okay, then..."

"Say it, tell it!" Lilith waved her sword, "You've wasted too much time, and I don't want to become an embarrassment because of it!"

"Well, let me see what you are thinking. The person who can pull out the sword of Gryffindor wants to go to Slytherin?" The hat seemed to be deliberately delaying time, and said slowly: "Is it because

The boy from before?”

Lilith blushed: "I changed my mind, I want to sew your mouth shut!"

"Well, Gryffindor will help you succeed quickly, but your ideas are very Slytherin..." Hat thought seriously.

After a full ten minutes, Hat reluctantly shouted: "Slytherin..."

The voice sounded weak, and Lilith felt relieved. She took off her hat and glared at it: "You made me become a hat embarrassment! I thank you!"

"You're welcome. I hope you remember me."

Lilith walked towards the Slytherin table, where cheers broke out again, this time also from the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff tables.

Gryffindors think it's cool to be a hat-trick, Hufflepuffs think Lilith is a genius.

"Miss Pillivic," Professor McGonagall said suddenly, "leave the sword of Gryffindor."

Lilith tilted her head: "Doesn't it belong to me?"

"Over the centuries, students have drawn the Sword of Gryffindor, but it belongs to no one."

"But strictly speaking, I didn't pull it out, but it automatically fell into my hand..."

Lilith wanted to give some more examples, but after seeing Professor McGonagall's face becoming more and more like Professor Snape, she wisely chose to shut up, handed the sword to Professor McGonagall, and walked to the long table.

Sitting next to Moriarty.

Professor McGonagall stared at her for a while before calling out the next name. The Sorting Hat lost interest, and as soon as the hat touched the new student's head, she was sorted into Hufflepuff.

The last new student was Percy Weasley, and the hat shouted exaggeratedly: "Another Weasley! Without a doubt, Gryffindor~"

Professor McGonagall picked up the sorting hat and left, and Dumbledore stood up.

"Welcome!" he said, "Welcome to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words."

Dumbledore turned his attention to the Slytherin table and looked at Moriarty, "This year, Hogwarts welcomes Mr. Moriarty, a descendant of Headmaster Salazar Slytherin.

Although I have never advocated that the children of the principal or school director enjoy privileges, in view of the fact that Hogwarts has continuously provided outstanding wizards to the international wizarding community for more than a thousand years, I think this time we should raise a glass to remember the Big Four.

.

Here’s to Slytherin!”

Dumbledore raised his glass, and Moriarty suspected that the liquid inside might be honey.

The little wizards were not allowed to drink, so the wine glasses were filled with various liquids. Moriarty, holding the gravy ice cream prepared by Lilith for him, stood up together with the professor and students: "Here's to Slytherin!

"

The screams of the little snakes were particularly enthusiastic, and all the teachers and students in the school toasted to Slytherin. This made them even happier than Slytherin winning the Academy Cup for three consecutive years.

"What makes me happy is that this year a little wizard pulled out the Sword of Gryffindor." Dumbledore glanced at Lilith with a smile. Everyone was looking at her. Lilith was not shy at all and sat upright.

Literally, without squinting.

"As an old Gryffindor senior, I feel sorry for you not choosing Gryffindor," Dumbledore's words resonated with the little lions, but he quickly changed the subject, "But as the principal, I feel sorry for you.

You are proud to be both a Slytherin and a Gryffindor.

Almost every wizard who has graduated from Hogwarts says that Slytherin and Gryffindor are incompatible, but this phenomenon is not conducive to unity."

Dumbledore's eyes under his glasses became serious. Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore worriedly, and then at the students on the long table, "Albus, it's too early to say these things now."

"It's not early at all, Professor McGonagall," Dumbledore said matter-of-factly: "Isn't it obvious that the Slytherin staff and the Gryffindor sword appeared together in Hogwarts?

As the Sorting Hat said, is there any pair of good friends in the world better than Gryffindor and Slytherin?

So, let us honor the great friendship and Gryffindor!"

People stood up after Dumbledore: "Here's to Gryffindor!"

"Ah~ I just talked about friendship," Dumbledore this time turned his attention to the long table of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff: "What friends are there in this world better than Slytherin and Granville?"

Findor is better? Unless you count another pair of best friends - Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

Oh, talking about this, it reminds me of an ancient legend, which says that each of the four giants of Hogwarts has a weapon of his own."

The students' interest was suddenly aroused, and William asked loudly: "Excuse me, sir? Are you talking about the Slytherin Locket, the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, and the Ravenclaw Diadem?"

"No, no," Dumbledore shook his head slowly: "You are talking about the relics of the Big Four, and I am talking about the weapons of the Big Four.

According to some lost information, Salazar Slytherin's weapon was a staff, not a locket. How could the locket be a weapon? You can't expect Slytherin to hold the locket against him.

Gryffindor chants."

Dumbledore made a joke, then winked at Moriarty: "On this point, I think Mr. Moriarty can prove it."

Many people secretly looked at Moriarty's Slytherin staff, but Moriarty showed no sign and listened quietly to Dumbledore's story.

"And the Sword of Gryffindor - it is undoubtedly both Gryffindor's relic and his weapon."

Dumbledore was suddenly interrupted by a girl. She said, "Professor, stop talking about Slytherin and Gryffindor. What are the weapons of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw?"

I think we are more interested in their weapons. What girl doesn’t want to become a beautiful and powerful witch like Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff.”

"right!"

"yes!"

"Professor, please tell me!"

The girls from the four colleges were very excited and chattered about their dreams with their companions.

The atmosphere suddenly changed from solemn to enthusiastic. In order to show off in front of girls, some boys could not sit still. A few little lions even knocked on their plates and asked Dumbledore to speak faster.

Seeing that the auditorium was noisy but full of vitality, Dumbledore smiled, as if nothing could make him happier than this.

"Okay, okay, maybe I will disappoint you if I say it, but I don't want to hide it - as far as I know, there is no one, no records or information showing what the weapons of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are.

, not even a clue.

After all, they also have wands, and it's hard to figure out what their other weapon is."

At this time, the girls' disappointed voices almost broke the roof - if Hogwarts existed.

Dumbledore had to say loudly: "But I do have some immature ideas. Do you want to listen?"

"Say it! Professor, you always like to tell the truth!" It was that Hufflepuff girl again.

Dumbledore looked at her with a smile: "Okay, okay, Tonks, you can't wait. Well, let me think about it... Ravenclaw's other weapon may be knowledge, and Hufflepuff

Another weapon, maybe a cauldron!"

???

Everyone was confused and quickly realized that this was another joke from Dumbledore. Tonks was so angry that she drank a large glass of ice cream. Lilith was speechless, but Penelope smiled and blushed.

Dumbledore stood up again: "It's up to you to find the last two weapons and explore. Let us pay tribute to the most precious wealth - knowledge, and thank you for the delicious food on the table!"

Everyone knew what the extended meaning was, and once again raised their glasses: "Here's to Ravenclaw! Here's to Hufflepuff!"

"Eat quickly," Dumbledore opened his arms: "Ladies and gentlemen, eat as much as you can."
