All the newly enrolled young wizards looked around curiously. Even Hermione was not surprised. At this moment, their hearts were filled with shock and anticipation for their future school life. Of course, more than that, they were nervous about the upcoming sorting ceremony.
The most important thing in the auditorium was a stool. On it was a strange hat that was worn out, dusty, and even had spiderwebs. As the freshmen looked at it, the hat suddenly opened its mouth and began to sing.
"You may not think me pretty,
But never judge a book by its cover,
If you can find a hat smarter than me,
I can eat myself…"
The song was not unpleasant, but it was definitely not pleasant either. It added a sense of joy and mystery to this colorful and wonderful auditorium. However, Leon only had one thought at this moment. After putting on this broken hat, he might need to wash his hair or something.
When the Sorting Hat had finished singing its theme song, Professor McGonagall stood up and walked over to the Sorting Hat, holding a list of names." Now, the new student whose name I have called will come here and sit down. Then, put on the Sorting Hat. It will tell us which academy you will be going to. First, Hannah Abbott.”
As Leon had expected, the iron-clad Hannah became the first young wizard to be sorted again. At the same time, the Sorting Hat shouted the moment Hannah put on the hat,""Hufflepuff!"
"Draco Malfoy," Professor McGonagall continued to shout. Malfoy's face was still livid as he walked up to the stage, and there were still a few icicles on his body.
"Slytherin!"
"Ron Weasley!" A short red-haired man immediately ran up to Professor McGonagall when he heard her.
"Gryffindor!"
"Harry Potter,"
"Oh..."
Almost as soon as Professor McGonagall shouted the name, everyone unconsciously stood up and stared at the brown-haired, bespectacled young wizard who walked out of the crowd.
"Is that Harry Potter?" Hermione muttered to Leon,""Legend has it that the boy who survived and killed You-Know-Who cannot be named.”
"Perhaps." Leon wasn't interested.
Harry's sorting took longer than the others, but it did not take long for the Sorting Hat to call out Gryffindor. Leon clearly saw Harry heave a sigh of relief, and the Gryffindor students cheered loudly.
"Hermione Granger," shouted Professor McGonagall, and Hermione, who was standing next to Leon, stepped forward, glancing back at him just as she was about to reach the bench.
Leon did not speak but nodded. A moment later, the Sorting Hat called out Hermione's house,""Gryffindor!"
Leon sighed when he heard the answer. Fate had led Hermione to the path she should have taken.
Seeing Hermione walk to the Gryffindor table with some hesitation and some joy, and looking at him from time to time, Leon smiled and gave her a thumbs up to encourage her.
The sorting ceremony continued. Leon watched as the young wizards left him one after another. He was left alone when Professor McGonagall called out his name.
"Leon Chris!"
Upon hearing this, Leon regained his senses and strode towards the Sorting Hat. The tables of the other four academies were also discussing animatedly. They were looking at Leon with the same enthusiasm as Harry Potter. It was obvious that the young wizards who had been assigned to their respective academies had told their seniors what had happened.
After all, children could not hide secrets.
Walking up to the Sorting Hat, Leon could clearly sense Dumbledore's probing gaze and Snape's cold gaze. Leon could only smile in response. He hadn't even started his plan, and he had already offended Snape.
The other professors also looked at Leon, and Leon could even see the dean of Lackenlao, Professor Flevy, who had fairy blood, mouthing Lackenlao's name silently, as if he was signaling Leon to come to Lackenlao. Obviously, Hagrid, who had already taken the position of a teaching staff member, had already explained what had happened to the professors.
"Oh, look! I can feel a powerful magic power in your body!”
As soon as he put on the Sorting Hat, Leon heard the conversation in his brain. It was obvious that it came from the Sorting Hat. After all, the system notification did not sound so rhythmic.
"Let me see which academy I should send you to. Hmm, you have extraordinary courage, and at the same time, you have the gentlemanly degree of England. Gryffindor seems to be very suitable for you.”
Before Leon could complain about the Sorting Hat being so casual, the Sorting Hat spoke again.
" But you also have a mature mind and a thirst for knowledge. Oh my god, a little fellow like you actually has the Silent Curse. Such a terrifying talent, it would be a pity if you didn't place it in Lackenlao.”
Leon was a little surprised that he hadn't been assigned to Lackwen Lao yet.
"Oh, no, no, no. Ambition that is about to burst out, desire for money, respect for power. These are the characteristics of Slytherin. Damn it, why are you so complicated? Are you really just a teenage wizard?”
The Sorting Hat continued to complain. It was obviously speechless today. It had encountered several good seedlings that were difficult to choose.
"What about Hufflepuff?" Leon asked curiously after hearing that the Sorting Hat had gone silent after mentioning Slytherin.
"Hufflepuff? Child, are you sure? You don't have a speck of Hufflepuff in you, I'd be mad to send you to Pachtwich.”The Sorting Hat mocked him, not caring that his words had basically categorized Leon as a bad guy.
After all, Pachswich's spirit was integrity, honesty, loyalty, and not afraid of hardship. The Sorting Hat said that Leon did not have any shadow of Hufflepuff, which meant that Leon did not have any of the above four points.
Leon had thought that he would most likely go to Hufflepuff, but he didn't expect that the Sorting Hat would directly throw the academy out. This made him speechless. Leon thought that he was very suitable for Hufflepuff's enrollment requirements.
"How about I send you to Gryffindor? "The little girl who was assigned to Gryffindor seemed to like you. I don't mind matchmaking the two of you," the Sorting Hat asked tentatively after complaining.
"Get lost. If you dare to send me there, I'll find a chance to burn you later.”
