Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

About two hours later.

"So, Filius, how is the sorting hat now?"

In the staff lounge on the side of the auditorium, Dumbledore rubbed his temples with a headache.

The opening banquet has ended. Under the leadership of the prefects, the students left the spacious and bright school auditorium one by one and went to the common room of their respective colleges to prepare for the second round of freshmen welcome and the opening night meeting.

The deans and professors of the various colleges were left to solve the problems that occurred at the branching ceremony and discuss the teaching arrangements for the subsequent new semester—just as Dumbledore said, this is a stranger. New semester.

As for the culprit responsible for all this, he was naturally called into the room alone.

At this time "Scourge" was sitting quietly on a small velvet stool in the room. He was well-behaved and cute, and looked like a harmless doll. But apart from Professor Lupin, no one in this room would Was deceived by her appearance.

"Um... not so good..."

Facing Dumbledore's question, Felius Flitwick shook his head and said with some distress.

"You should have tried it. There is no trace of magical interference on the Sorting Hat. There is no abnormality in either the magic fluctuations or the Sorting Hat itself. However, no matter how we send information to it, we can never get any response."

In the middle of the room, the poor sorting hat was still hissing and screaming.

Even after detecting that it was wrong, Professor McGonagall took it off Elena's head for the first time, and there was still no way to restore everything to its original state. In the past ten minutes, they tried almost everything. Communication methods.

"... Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, S—"

"In short, let it rest for a while..."

Professor McGonagall waved his magic wand, and an invisible spell flew out.

The chattering of the sorting hat stopped abruptly, but from the constant opening and closing of the sorting hat, it can be seen that McGonagall’s curse did not cure the sorting hat’s "disease", she just used magic to temporarily make it. I can’t make a sound.

"I warned you before, don't try this kind of behavior that violates tradition!"

The dean of Hufflepuff College, Professor Pomona Sprout coldly snorted, and said calmly.

"In the long history of Hogwarts, there has never been a funny situation in which a student repeats the sorting, let alone the student who has been studying in school for a year. This is simply—"

"But...According to my observations and inferences, the root cause of all this should not be repeated divisions."

The dean of Slytherin College, Severus Snape shook his head slightly, and glanced at the white-haired dumpling sitting beside Qiao. A meaningful look appeared on his pale face, if it meant something. The ground said slowly.

"As the dean, we have given Miss Kaslana the qualification to enter and leave the various colleges. This unprecedented multi-academy reform attempt may indeed confuse the Sorting Hat. But in essence, if Miss Kaslana She doesn't have the characteristics of each college, so she can't get this kind of privilege, let alone affect the Sorting Hat."

"So, what do you want to say, Severus?"

Professor McGonagall frowned and asked impatiently.

As the dean of Gryffindor College, she would not naively think that Snape would be kind enough to take the initiative to complete the game. According to her knowledge of Slytherin College, it is no surprise that these are just the foreshadowing of Snape's subsequent remarks. That's it.

Even if the two sides have temporarily reached an alliance against Hufflepuff, this kind of tacit understanding will not exist for long.

"I'm thinking... Maybe from the beginning, we shouldn't let Miss Kaslana have too many privileges."

The corners of Severus Snape's mouth lifted upward, his fingers shook, and he said softly.

"There are many ways to solve the dilemma that we are facing today, but I have a very simple way-maybe we should cancel some of the privileges of Miss Kaslana until the sorting hat returns to normal. Personally I think it’s best to let her leave Gryffindor and Hufflepuff so as not to give students some bad hints and guidance..."

"On this point, don't even think about it! To be honest, Severus!"

Professor Sprout raised his eyebrows, glanced at Slytherin who was taking advantage of the fire, and said sharply.

"At least in my opinion, Hufflepuff College has no reason to expel this student. Miss Kaslana did not violate any school rules, she just obeyed some unreasonable request and sat in the triangle. Bench, I just wore the Sorting Hat again-and if it's a privilege, it should be a problem with Gryffindor and Slytherin, right?"

Albus Dumbledore turned his head and glanced at the silent Elena next to him with an inquiring look.

I have to say that today's Elena is a bit too normal, even if it is from the demeanor and logically, there is no problem with the girl's trance and sleepy reaction at this time, just like any Hogwarts little wizard. The state it should be.

But when all of this appeared on this "Silver Moon at Hogwarts", there was a subtle dissonance.

"Only the dean can expel a student. This is a Hogwarts rule, Severus."

Dumbledore sighed, looked around at the surrounding professors, and concluded patiently with a light cough.

"From the current situation, it is clear that the three colleges of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin have no intention of expelling Miss Elena Kaslana. In other words, we first A consensus can be reached—"

"Sorry, Professor Dumbledore, there is one thing I might need to correct."

At this moment, Felius Flitwick cleared his throat suddenly and interjected cautiously.

"I think it should be four colleges-Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin. This is a very easy to understand question, after all, when the Sorting Hat was first pronounced Ravenclaw. At least until the Sorting Hat returns to normal and its decision is corrected, I don’t think it is a problem to treat Miss Kaslana as a student at Ravenclaw College first."

Professor Sprout twitched the corners of his mouth, and the well-mannered witch looked very angry at the moment.

And like her, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape also showed a frightened look after a brief astonishment.

In the understanding of Professor Sprout and others, Ravenclaw College should have been a safe option that had been out of the game early. However, what they never expected was that Flitwick, who had been incompetent before, actually It is also a competitor.

"I'm sorry," Professor Sprout looked around at the guy who wanted to steal her cabbage~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and said coldly, "If you look at the order, Elena Kaslana It should also belong to Hufflepuff first. Everyone has heard this firsthand—"

"But if I remember correctly, she didn't wear the sorting hat at the time, she just held it in her arms."

Professor Flitwick shook his head politely, and carefully analyzed.

"As far as I know, the sorting cap cannot read students' thoughts through physical contact, so even if you insist on thinking that the college in the sorting cap is effective, it is for the last person who put it on, not the one who didn't wear it yet. Its Elena."

"Besides, Miss Caslana was staying at Gryffindor College the first night..."

Professor McGonagall's eyes lit up, and following Professor Flitwick's prompt, he launched the second round of attack.

I have to admit that people at Ravenclaw College really have to be more flexible in their minds. With Felius Flitwick joining their alliance, Professor Sprout is not that difficult to deal with.

After all, in terms of restraint relationship, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are a pair of enemies, just like the relationship between a lion and a snake.

"...You, you!"

Professor Sprout took a few deep breaths, and looked at the shameless group of colleagues around him with a look as if he had met everyone for the first time.

The chunky witch turned her head and stared at Dumbledore.

"Professor Dumbledore, you are the headmaster of Hogwarts, you decide what to do!"

In the past year, especially after the seven-grade "training competition" last year, the professors in the school seemed to have lifted some restrictions, becoming more and more unscrupulous and shameless.
