Hogwarts: Who taught you to transform like this?

Merlin came on stage and calmly put on the Sorting Hat.

The gray-black hat fluttered with piled folds, and the pointed top swayed back and forth to express his excitement. The worn brim of the hat tightly wrapped around Merlin's head.

"Merlin Hantel! I finally found you!"

""Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Merlin was a little surprised.

He thought the Sorting Hat would start analyzing Harry like it did, but he didn't expect it to say this.

"Are you surprised? Don't be nervous, I just found out your name too."

The Sorting Hat scratched the top of its tip with its brim.

"I heard the little wizard just now say that the glasses are your alchemical product?"

"That's right"

"It's incredible that someone from the Muggle world has such a strong alchemical talent. Could you be the grandson of Nicolas Flamel?"

"Forehead……"

The corners of Mo Lin's mouth twitched.

He felt that it would be better for him to give up the idea of asking the Sorting Hat to give him advice.

He could even come up with such a brainwave. It was really unfair for him to stay in the principal's office.

《The Daily Prophet's tabloid column needs this hat!

With this hat, the gossip reporter Rita Skeeter doesn't even need to transform to collect information, just ask the hat about the topic

"What? Did I get it right? I never thought Nicolas Flamel would have such a great grandson."

"No, I have nothing to do with him."

Mo Lin shook his head decisively.

"What a shame. I thought that guy finally admitted that Hogwarts is the best magic school in Europe."

"The last time I saw him, we had a big fight about this."

The Sorting Hat muttered.

Then, realizing that this was not the place for small talk, he shook his body again.

"All right! Merlin Hantel, I was so surprised that I said too much nonsense. Now it’s time to get down to business!"

"You say."

Mo Lin curled his lips.

He didn't believe that the Sorting Hat could say anything serious in such an unruly manner.

"You can see that I am an alchemical product, although the successive principals have also taken care of me."

"But it’s been so long, I feel like I’m not keeping up with the times, even my students don’t like the songs I sing anymore"

"So I want you to help me upgrade again, and it would be best if I could master more knowledge and the culture of the current magical world!"

"Also, you can try to modify the appearance, it’s too shabby!"

"That big idiot from Gryffindor has no sense of taste and was not even willing to take good care of me before making alchemical products."

"……"

Mo Lin was stunned.

What did he hear?

Oh my god!

The Sorting Hat actually wanted to upgrade itself.

"Is there a problem? I have lived with this look for more than a thousand years, isn't it normal to want to change it?"

"Indeed."

Mo Lin nodded subconsciously.

"No, why don't you go to Professor Dumbledore, he will definitely be happy to help you transform"

"No, no, no, I can't go find him!"

The Sorting Hat shook its head decisively.

"Before, he actually wanted to turn me into that ugly pink thing with bows and gold lines on it!"

"Even if I die, the Sorting Hat will never accept this kind of transformation."

Thinking about Dumbledore's aesthetics,

Merlin felt that this seemed to be possible.

"So what do you want to become?"

"The outer part is made of dragon skin and unicorn tail hair, the lining is made of lava goat sheepskin, and the surface is decorated with phoenix feathers.……"

"Goodbye."

Merlin didn't even listen to the end, and decisively switched channels.

He had never seen some of these materials before, and the Sorting Hat had the nerve to ask him to change them.

Did he really think he was rich?

Besides, the only phoenix he knew was Dumbledore's.

To pluck Fawkes' feathers?

That would be difficult.

"Slow down, slow down, I haven't finished yet!"

The Sorting Hat was anxious, and the brim of the hat hugged Mo Lin's head tightly.

"I can pay, you just need to help me change my look, it’s not difficult!"

"You still have money?"

Merlin couldn't help laughing.

He didn't believe that a hat that had been lying in Hogwarts for more than a thousand years could still have money.

"Who are you looking down on?"

The Sorting Hat bent its tip and whispered in Mo Lin's ear.

"All the treasures of Gryffindor are with me. I have not told anyone for more than a thousand years. As long as you promise……"

"No!"

Merlin sneered.

If he didn't know the plot, he would have been fooled by this disrespectful old man.

The treasure left by Gryffindor was the sword.

But if he dared to take the hidden treasure, all the Gryffindor students would come to challenge him.

He would never agree to such a thing.

"So what do you have to do to get me to agree to my request?"

Bribery is useless, and coercion is powerless. The Sorting Hat is also helpless.

This little wizard is obviously different from the previous ones. He is more clever than a monkey when he is covered with fur.

"How can I……"

Mo Lin was about to speak when he suddenly realized something and his eyes lit up. He immediately changed his words.

"Unless you promise to answer some questions for me whenever I need you during my stay at school."

This is what he just thought of.

Gryffindor is one of the four giants of Hogwarts. How could the hat he left behind be just a portal for the sword?

It must have a greater use.

That is to help wizards grow through the experience and knowledge accumulated over a thousand years.

And the headmasters of all generations only used it to sort the houses, which was a waste.

Although he has the ability of an encyclopedia of the wizarding world, he doesn't know many things beyond that.

But this hat definitely knows a lot. The

Sorting Hat hasn't figured out why Merlin changed his attitude.

But it doesn't matter to it. As long as it agrees to refurbish it, it's a good wizard.

"Merlin Hantle, you are such an excellent...……"

The Sorting Hat suddenly remembered that it was only discussing with Mo Lin how to change its appearance, and didn't mention the sorting at all.

"Molin, you know I seldom give others such privileges. In consideration of your help to me, you can choose which college to go to, how about that?"

"Not very good!"

Mo Lin said calmly.

He agreed to the Sorting Hat's request in order to let it be his military advisor.

Now the military advisor actually asked him to choose, so what was the purpose of having a military advisor?

"Just tell me what you said to the other little wizards. If you are right, I will listen to you."

"What if it’s not correct?"

"I won't give you a new one."

Merlin said bitterly.

The Sorting Hat trembled on Merlin's head.

It was terrible!

How could there be such a terrifying little wizard in the world who would even threaten a hat!

The future of the magic world will be ruined by such a little wizard!

But there was no emotion in his tone, and he was even more excited than Ron just now.

"Oh! Genius little wizard!"

"I've been in Hogwarts for hundreds of years, and this is the first time I've seen such a talented young wizard!"

"Did you design that pair of glasses? They are perfect!"

"……"
