The Occult Warlock of Hogwarts

The auditorium became quiet.

Perhaps since the founding of Hogwarts, no new student has dared to take off the sorting hat before the result is announced and throw it roughly to the ground.

But today, everyone in Hogwarts was shocked by DeWitt's courage. But for DeWitt, this has nothing to do with courage. Perhaps accepting it in silence is the most appropriate result, but he can't bear to leak it.

The risk of memory - even if no one cares about his origins, the crime of controlling the Whites and driving Mrs. White to kill her husband will never be discovered. Compared with these costs, it is necessary to make a little noise during the sorting ceremony -

—Even if he has to wear the Sorting Hat again, DeWitt must at least understand the magic on the hat and find a way to deal with it.

You can also test Hogwarts' attitude towards students, DeWitt thought again.

Confused discussions gradually arose.

"How ignorant," the arrogant Slytherin joked in a low voice: "But it is not easy for a person of this kind of background to realize that there is magic on the Sorting Hat, but I don't want to be in the same house as this kind of person - think

Think about it, this needs to be explained and that needs to be explained..."

"He is so fierce," Ron and Harry muttered at the Gryffindor table: "How dare he go through such trouble in the sorting ceremony..."

"The action when he threw the Sorting Hat was so decisive," Ron's brother Fred interjected: "Did you see that, George? I want to go up and throw it too."

"Why didn't we think of this trick when we entered school?" George patted his thigh regretfully: "It's so cool... He looks like a masked hero. Once his memory is spied on, something bad will happen."

Seeing that the atmosphere among the students was getting out of control, Professor McGonagall cleared her throat forcefully, raised her voice and said to DeWitt: "Mr. Wald...?"

"Professor," DeWitt put his hand in his pocket and held his wand. "I'm right here."

"I just want to confirm your name," Professor McGonagall hurriedly came over and picked up the Sorting Hat from the ground. Although the hat was so dirty, she still brushed off the dust on it when it fell to the ground and said distressedly: "This is

It has been a tradition since the founding of Hogwarts that the Sorting Hat will decide which house the new students should be assigned to based on the student's reaction after putting on the hat, hearing the hat speak, and the content of the subsequent conversation - so the sorting ceremony is just

A heart-to-heart conversation, and as the vice-principal, I guarantee that the Sorting Hat will not take the initiative to reveal the content of the conversation with each student."

Does that mean it can be leaked passively? DeWitt deliberately argued in his mind. He didn't listen to Professor McGonagall's words, mainly because he was guarding behind him - the other professors and principals of Hogwarts were sitting in the seats at the back.

, now there is an accident, but it is only Professor McGonagall who is handling it from beginning to end. The legendary most powerful wizard in contemporary times has not said a word. Maybe he is staring at himself for inspection... However, the students who have already taken their seats can clearly see that they

The principal is happily talking to the professor next to him.

"No one has ever treated me like this before," the Sorting Hat also spoke, with a fold on the hat opening and closing. His tone was a little solemn, but it didn't seem to be angry, but out of surprise: "But it's excusable.

.Look, don’t look at me as a hater, I also have my secrets, and of course I will understand that you have some little secrets, but don’t worry - come on, freshman, continue our conversation - a top-secret conversation."

From the beginning to the end, no one admitted that there is such a thing as reading memory, and no one explained the magic of mind reading. They only said that it is a dialogue with the mind at the spiritual level. Is this any different from not saying it? DeWitt was very dissatisfied with such an answer.

Satisfied, he lowered his eyelids and twirled the wand in his pocket. He wanted to question it, but he really lacked enough capital now. Am he qualified to ask for an absolutely detailed explanation? The high-ranking principal and professor are all adults.

, in the face of the almost iron-clad rules that have been passed down for thousands of years, will they care about the feelings of a child?

Therefore, DeWitt never thought of making an exception for himself. He just wanted to use more drastic means to suspend the sorting ceremony to ensure that the memory would not be spied on.

Suddenly someone spoke behind him: "Minerva, let me talk to this child."

This also gave DeWitt the opportunity to turn around naturally, and he saw the old man with a white beard talking in the middle of the teacher's chair - if he guessed correctly, this should be Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts.

There are many names attached to this person, but DeWitt cannot tell how great Dumbledore is from his appearance. The most impressive thing about the principal's appearance at first glance is the pair of blue eyes, which are deep and wise, but not...

He lacks cunning. The bridge of his nose is crooked, but this does not affect his personal image at all. On the contrary, it makes him look more kind. Together with the weird semi-circular eyes, it is even a little funny.

Then the principal stood up. He was very tall, and his figure should be thin, but the robe on his body made him look a little bloated. After leaving the seat, the old man moved to DeWitt's side. Now his clothes hung down to his stomach.

He saw every white beard clearly, and then said: "Don't be nervous, Mr. Wald, Hogwarts will not force students, nor will it pry into students' memories for no reason. We respect everyone's privacy——

In order to dispel your concerns and take up less time, I think everyone in the auditorium is very hungry now. Please allow me to briefly explain to you the relevant magic. The most important point is - there is no magic like

Looking through a person's memory is like reading a book. The reason why the Sorting Hat speaks in his heart is just to hear the most real thoughts and real-time thoughts in the conversation. I think you may not believe it now... but you will definitely do so in the future.

Understand that Hogwarts will not harm its students."

Unexpectedly, DeWitt didn't expect Dumbledore to be such a person - no airs, every letter was sincere and cordial when he spoke, showing great tolerance to DeWitt's doubts, without a trace of arrogance.

, some are just equal treatment. So he raised his head and met Dumbledore's sincere eyes, but there seemed to be something else besides the sincere emotions, that is, this extra thing, which made DeWitt completely

Driven by his intuition, he took the initiative to look away and ruled out that there was something wrong with this part. He had already confirmed in his mind that Principal Dumbledore should be a decent person, but a decent person would not be stingy about using some useful methods. At the same time, he also

Ask yourself, and feel that there is no reason to be treated as an exception. After all, only you know his difference. In fact, the difference you think you have is a joke to others. Even in the eyes of these adults, you are just a somewhat sensitive freshman.

There is no value in deceiving.

At this point, DeWitt had to stop. The principal personally came forward to explain to him. If he continued to bother, he would be ignorant - maybe the principal didn't care, the vice president didn't care, and the other professors didn't care either, but that only proves that they are good people.

, it does not affect DeWitt at all for delaying the time of the others. Maybe some people are scolding him now - everyone has come here like this, why the hell did you make so many mistakes and delay the meal.

Without saying any more, DeWitt took the sorting hat and placed it on his head.

"What a suspicious new student." The Sorting Hat's voice echoed in his heart again. This time DeWitt paid attention to his whole body to ensure that nothing unusual would happen - in fact, there was nothing wrong with his body or soul.

There are no abnormalities, and the calming and tranquilizing effect continues.

"Those who are careful can live longer." DeWitt replied in his heart.

"Well... your tone of voice and way of thinking are really not what you should be at your age," the Sorting Hat was still joking: "You threw me to the ground - aren't you afraid that I will sort you into a house you don't want to go to?

”

DeWitt asked rhetorically: "So the tradition since the founding of Hogwarts can only be implemented once?"

"Oh - you are really sharp-tongued. Of course I will not affect the sorting results because of this. Generally speaking, I will also regard personal wishes as an important basis for sorting," the Sorting Hat said: "Why don't you think about it and recall your

In the past..."
