Chapter 913 Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the Sorting Helmets
Chapter 913 Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the Sorting Helmets
"What you see now are the four major colleges of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." While Professor McGonagall was getting the Sorting Hat, Dumbledore introduced them to the students:
"The Gryffindor Raid Team, or Gryffindor for short, has the strength of a lion and fierce offensiveness, usually using heavy-duty rapid-fire wands and high-powered blasting spells to cover the opponent."
"The Ravenclaw Tactical Center, or Ravenclaw for short, has eagle-like keen dynamic vision and tactical wisdom. While scouting the battlefield and coordinating the command for you, the elite students are good at using sniper wands to kill the enemy's special targets one by one outside the opponent's line of sight."
"Hufflepuff Armored Combat Team, or Hufflepuff for short, is the teammate that is always the first choice in team competitions. It is equipped with heavy armor and is good at group defense spells. It can protect you in a rain of magic bullets, but be careful not to get hit in the legs, which will cause them to fall down."
"The Slytherin Special Operations Team, or Slytherin for short, is a formidable opponent that never shy away from using dirty tricks and forbidden tactics, usually crouching in shadows and inconspicuous corners with shotgun wands, or using large-caliber blasting spells on opponents who don't wear any armor at all."
When Dumbledore introduced them, the students from the four colleges around him did not react at all, as if Dumbledore was talking about something that had nothing to do with them. They still stood there straight, like tall and straight... Whomping Willow? In short, it can be seen that the discipline is strict.
Among the freshmen, Ma Wu pulled Martin's arm and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are we in the wrong place?"
"Yes, it's Hogwarts." Martin replied in a low voice: "Hogwarts Military School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"No, this isn't the Hogwarts." Ma Wu never figured out that Martin did all this on purpose: "It's not like this in the movie."
Because the three of them were short, they could whisper to each other under the cover of the freshmen without attracting any attention.
"You said you wanted to go to the movie." Martin suddenly realized, "This is the Hogwarts in the book."
"From the book?"
"Yes, "Harry Potter and the Propellant", "Harry Potter and the Glock 18", "Harry Potter and the Tactical Helmet", "Harry Potter and the 50 Caliber", "Harry Potter and the Ultimate Guide", "Harry Potter and the Belgian FN Herstal", and "Harry Potter and the Deadly Shooter." Martin counted on his fingers and nodded, speaking seriously.
Harry Potter: Are you calling me... Are there so many books with my name on them?
Huiyuan Ai: "The author is AK Rowling?"
After Lieutenant General Dumbledore introduced the four colleges, Major General McGonagall walked up to the freshmen holding a tactical helmet equipped with movable night vision goggles, tactical eyepieces and a magic radio.
The night vision goggles on the tactical helmet moved by themselves, raised up and looked left and right, moving from left to right and from top to bottom, as if scanning the freshmen in front of them one by one.
At this time, a sound came from the magic radio, and a hoarse voice began to sing a song, the Sorting Hat Song.
"You may think I'm not pretty,
But never judge a book by its appearance,
If you can find a prettier hat than mine,
I can eat myself.
Any hidden thoughts in your mind,
No one can escape the Sorting Hat's sharp eyes.
Try it on and I'll tell you.
Which college should you be assigned to.
You may belong to Gryffindor,
When the drums of war break the mist of dawn,
Only a lion dares to crush the city wall with its iron hooves!
The volley wand roared in the flames,
On the way of charging, only the echo of the spell was left -
You may be a Hufflepuff,
The shield wall grew in the rain of curses,
Their armor flows with the copper slurry of Mother Earth!
The protection spell is like a bell, the healing spell is like a wall,
But don't expect them to let go of the hot soup in the smoke -
Maybe into the wise old Ravenclaw,
Let the eagle's wings cover the sky,
Every bullet has an eye of wisdom!
The spell calibrator records your heartbeat,
Death has long been bound into a specimen library——
Maybe you'll go into Slytherin,
Hush... the fangs have long been hardened into the hotbed of shadows,
Victory never cares if the medal is dirty!
The gleaming curse will kiss every inch of flesh,
Even the tombstones are filled with conspiracy theories.
Now, lower your young skull,
Let the Sorting Hat sniff the truth in the brains,
Is it to be a shield, a knife, a bullet, or a lie?
The four-post meat grinder is waiting to grind up - your confusion!
"
After the song was finished, students from all directions burst into applause, and the Sorting Hat's night vision device nodded in four directions.
"Whoever I call out now will come to me, put on the Sorting Hat, and wait for the Sorting." Professor McGonagall said, "Hannah Abbott!"
The order of the list was based on the first letter of the surname, so the first one to come forward was a ruddy-faced little girl with two golden braids. She stumbled out of the queue and came to Professor McGonagall. After the professor put on the tactical helmet for her, the tactical goggles automatically slid down to cover her eyes.
After a while, a voice came from the magic radio: "Let me think about it. I got it! Hufflepuff!"
After the little girl took off her helmet, Professor McGonagall pointed to the Hufflepuff seats and she immediately trotted over. The head girl patted her on the shoulder and instructed her to wait at the last seat.
……
Among the freshmen, although they came to the wrong Hogwarts, in line with the long-standing Chinese spirit of "Since we are here, we are here", Ma Wu clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and prayed: "Gryffindor, Gryffindor..."
Ron seemed to be infected by Ma Wu and prayed in the same way: "Gryffindor..."
After several people have completed the division.
"Hermione Granger!"
Hermione almost ran to Professor McGonagall and put on the Sorting Hat.
There was a tense silence for a full four minutes before the magical radio called out, "Ah, good. It's decided. Gryffindor!"
Watching Hermione walk towards the Gryffindor seat, Ron snorted with some jealousy.
Haibara Ai's English name is 'Anita Hailey', so it's her turn after Hermione.
In such a situation, Haibara Ai was a little nervous after all. After taking half a step, she looked back at Martin and Ma Wu.
Ma Wu waved his little hand to cheer her up, and Martin smiled and waved his hand lazily, more like a farewell: Goodbye.
Taking a deep breath, Huibara Ai walked out of the team.
Any questions about his age or body shape were limited to the team of freshmen behind him, while the students from the four colleges on both sides remained silent.
But many eyes were clearly focused on him, the freshmen behind him, the seniors around him, and the headmaster and teachers at the table behind McGonagall and the Sorting Hat.
When Haibara Ai crossed the midpoint between the freshmen and Mag, a golden horizontal line suddenly lit up on the floor beneath her feet. The line extended to the left and right from under her feet, and then the golden light fell on her, but quickly turned into a dangerous red.
The freshmen behind her also let out a nervous commotion. Huihara Ai took a step back, looking down at the red light still covering her body, but instead of looking back she looked up at Professor McGonagall for answers.
"Oh, sorry." Dumbledore said, "I have placed a spell called 'Age Line eleven' here to detect whether any of the new students lied about their age and are not 11 years old."
In fact, they are afraid that dark wizards or wizards from hostile countries will send agents disguised as students.
"But I forgot about you three exchange students from Xiuxian Vocational and Technical College. If I can remember, I can change the spell to 'seven, eleven'." Dumbledore said as he took out a classical wand with a ball joint all over it. With a flick of the wand, he removed the red light spots covering Huiyuan Ai's body. "No need." While thinking about what Xiuxian Vocational and Technical College was, Huiyuan Ai said lightly: "Seven eleven sounds like a convenience store."
And if Dumbledore changes the judgment of the 'age line', the efficacy of APTX will not be able to deceive the spell, and it will be embarrassing if Haibara Ai, who is actually 18 years old, is still warned.
"Hahaha..." Dumbledore smiled and signaled Haibara Ai to continue wearing the Sorting Hat.
Ai Haibara walked up to Professor McGonagall, and the old woman bent down kindly and put a tactical helmet on her head.
The yellow goggles covered her vision, and then she heard a voice echoing in her heart... No, it was whispering in her ear - of course, the tactical helmet did have an earphone in the ear position.
"Well, this is a bit difficult." The Sorting Hat whispered in my ear: "Did someone lie about their age?"
"It doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with me. Distillation, flasks, centrifuges, rubber-tipped pipettes... Little genius, Ravenclaw is a perfect match for your intelligence. But I can't ignore your courage to break out of the darkness. It seems that Gryffindor is also suitable for you."
Gryffindor...is the house that Xiaowu really wants to go to.
'More importantly, you want to be grouped with your family... That's really hard, isn't it? They haven't put me on yet, and I don't know where I will be assigned.'
Family? No, my only family member is my sister. I really want to be with my sister, but she didn't even come here, so we can't be together.
"Aren't we family? Oh, I made a mistake, so it doesn't matter whether we're sorted together or not, right? So I just randomly sorted you into Ravenclaw?"
I……
Very similar to Hermione, after Haibara Ai put on the Sorting Hat, the Sorting Hat remained silent for another four minutes before it made a sound.
"Hey, you should have admitted it earlier! Go ahead, Gryffindor!"
"Yeah!" Ma Wu's cheers came from the freshman group. I thought she was assigned to Gryffindor.
As the sorting continued, Neville Longbottom, the boy who lost his frog, also took a long time to make a decision on the helmet. When the sorting hat finally called out "Gryffindor", Neville ran away with the helmet on, and finally had to trot back in laughter and return the helmet to Professor McGonagall.
Then it was Malfoy's turn. When Professor McGonagall put the tactical helmet on the white-faced boy's head, she was blocked by some invisible resistance. Professor McGonagall pressed Malfoy's ears inconspicuously, and then it was put on smoothly.
After a minute, the Sorting Hat said, "Okay, Slytherin." The tone of the words sounded a little dull.
Slytherin was Malfoy's ideal house, but as he took off his helmet and walked towards the Slytherin seat, Malfoy's face did not look good, as if he was humiliated by the Sorting Hat.
After Malfoy came Malwu. When he crossed the unmodified 'age line', red spots of light also appeared on Malwu's body.
However, with the example of Xiao Ai in mind, Ma Wu did not panic. He came to Professor McGonagall with a body full of light spots.
After putting on the helmet, the Sorting Hat quickly gave its answer: "Just as we thought, baby! Gryffindor!"
"Yeah!" Ma Wu cheered again.
Mag took the Sorting Hat off her head, and was stunned when she saw Ma Wu still wearing the tactical helmet.
As expected... Haibara Ai, who was sitting in the Gryffindor seat, felt that it was not unexpected. It was impossible for that superpower to not have problems when Ma Wu was excited.
"This is..." Professor McGonagall looked at the Sorting Hat in her hand, and then at the Sorting Hat on Ma Wu's head.
When Ma Wu saw through the orange eyepiece of the tactical helmet that 'Grandma Mag' had picked up a helmet, she also realized that something unexpected had happened. She pointed to the helmet still on her head with some embarrassment: "Can I wear it home?"
"When you get your combat uniform when you reach fifth grade, there's a tactical helmet inside that has exactly the same functions, except it can't talk." Mag politely declined: "As for this, I'm afraid it won't work."
Like Ollivander in the wand shop, McGonagall initially thought that Mawu had used an ordinary cloning spell to copy a Sorting Hat that was only for show, but then McGonagall sensed that both Sorting Hats had magical powers.
Even the two Sorting Hats saw each other and spoke to each other in hoarse voices.
"Hey! You fake one!"
"Bullshit! You are the fake one, I am the real one!"
"I'm real, you're fake!"
After observing for a long time with pursed lips, Mag still couldn't tell which helmet was real and which was fake.
"Sorry..." Ma Wu was a little afraid that he would be "punished by military law" and shrank his neck and said, "My brother will take care of it."
McGonagall looked at Dumbledore, who nodded.
"Okay, next, Martin!"
Martin patted Rabbit and pointed to Haibara Ai sitting in the Gryffindor seat: "Go over there and wait for me." Then he strode out of the already sparsely populated team of freshmen with his head held high.
Before passing the 'age line', a certain conspicuous group took a running start.
Then, after passing the 'age line' and being covered in red spots, Martin began to do whip-turns like a ballerina while moving towards Professor McGonagall at a steady pace, and finally stopped in front of them: "I'm a super star!"
"Hello, Mr. Super Star." Dumbledore waved his wand to remove the red light spots of Martin and Ma Wu: "Can you help us distinguish which of the two sorting hats is real?"
"Is there any need to ask? Of course I am the real one!" "Bullshit! I am the real Sorting Hat!"
"It's simple." Martin said confidently, "As long as I put it on, the real Sorting Hat will be able to recognize that I belong to Gryffindor."
As he spoke, Martin took off the Sorting Hat on Ma Wu's head. This time he took it off completely and normally, and there was no hat on Ma Wu's head anymore.
Then Martin put on the Sorting Hat, and almost at the moment the Sorting Hat touched Martin, it screamed: "Azka--!"
Bang! Martin slammed the Sorting Hat to the ground faster than anyone could react. "It's fake!"
Not only that, Martin quickly picked up the assault wand from behind and fired more than ten blasting spells at the Sorting Hat on the ground - only the first time required him to recite the spell, and after that he only needed to pull the trigger to trigger the flashback imprint.
By the time Professor McGonagall reacted, only charred ash was left on the ground.
Then Martin took the other Sorting Hat - now the only one - from her hand.
"Now it's time to test the Sorting Hat. Although we've found the fake one, it's possible that it was tampered with and replaced by a dark wizard." Before McGonagall could stop him, Martin put on the Sorting Hat righteously.
"..." The other Sorting Hat hesitated and said against its will: "Gryffindor."
"Yes, this is true." Martin returned the Sorting Hat to McGonagall, then turned around and high-fived Ma Wu face to face to celebrate: "My judgment was right. The two of us are indeed suitable for Gryffindor."
"Great!"
The teachers and students in the audience were sweating coldly - this is called coercion and inducement, right? No, this is already a death threat, right?
There is another Sorting Hat whose authenticity is unknown. Before it was sacrificed, it wanted to say "Azkaban", right? (End of this chapter)
