Chapter 18 Branch, Azkaban~(1/2)
Author: Director Wei
On the open space at the end of the four long tables filled with students, there was already a high-backed chair and a very old and wrinkled wizard's pointed hat placed on it.
Further away, at the end of the auditorium is the professor's dining table in a curved shape, and in the middle is Dumbledore, a white-bearded white-bearded man in white robe.
He was sitting much taller than others, and his white beard fell to the table, very long. He looked very old last year, but he looked very energetic.
Ted glanced at the professor's seat, his hair was greasy and his face was gloomy on the day of the big happy days, and the mixed-race fairy Frivi, who was sitting on a special high stool, was also... with his head wrapped, it seemed that Asan's Qilu was also there.
Fortunately, at least the main direction of the first grade has not changed.
If Quirrell is gone or has no head covered, Ted will really not know what is going on.
If you can't find Bei, it's really the beginning of hell.
Professor McGonagall held a piece of parchment and whispered: "I called my classmate, sat on a chair, and put a hat on my head..."
The branch hat on the high-back stool twisted, and the wrinkles on it turned into eyes and mouth, and then they started singing:
"This is a legend that travels through thousands of years, telling four powerful and wise wizards.
The brave Gryffindor, from the barren swamp, the beautiful Ravenclaw, from the quiet lake.
The kind Hufflepuff comes from the vast valley. The shrewd Slytherin comes from that quagmire.
They vowed to teach their lives what they had learned, and the male and female wizards came from afar to make their ambitions grow until the castle stands on the banks of the Black Lake…”
The little wizards were naturally stunned. The first time they saw a singing hat.
Ted clapped his hands symbolically: He sang well, don’t sing next time.
Professor McGonagall was naturally tired of listening and directly pronounced his name: "Hannah Aibo?"
"Yes." The King of Iron Hat responded and ran up quickly, nervously buckled the branch hat on his head. His little head couldn't support the branch hat at all, and even covered his eyes.
"Hufflepuff~" In about four or five seconds, the Sorting Hat yelled her to Hufflepuff.
The little badgers of Hufflepuff clapped and welcomed her, and she waved to Ted not far away. They knew each other after being introduced by her grandfather, Old Tom.
The protagonist of the flowing water beat Hannah, and then it came naturally. What is Ron's first kiss on the raider Ravend Brown, what is the explosion of the genius Seamo...
Simo Feinigan, known as a genius of blasting, not only had the ability to explode the crucible, but also led to the organization being surrounded by Umbridge on the first night of joining Dumbledore's army - known in history as the Mosey bombing incident.
Everyone's branch time is long and short. Some are bagged and assigned after wearing it, while others are as long as one or two minutes to get results.
Ted felt a little weak in his heart. After all, the branch hat must have a certain ability to capture souls and minds, or the ability to identify the wizard's character.
Although Ted, as a spiritual warlock, has good protection for his mind, he has not been tested and has no confidence in his heart.
I'm worried that if there is a mistake, it will cause a big problem.
There is a legend that has been circulating many years later: When you enter school, the whole Hogwarts reverberates with your branch - Azkaban!
But I didn't have time to imagine him anymore, because Epiphany's first letter is E, and he ranks quite high.
Soon Professor McGonagall called him: "Ted Epifani~"
She glanced at Ted and was obviously impressed by the student. Her transformation lesson textbooks were mailed to Ted.
Ted nodded to Professor McGonagall, put on his hat and sat on the chair.
As a psychic, he has a very deep understanding of mental problems and has unique coping skills.
Generally, the ability to detect target thinking can only detect current emotions or ideas. There is no way to extract memories unless it is extremely violent.
So Ted just needs to start thinking about the various books he had read before. The data volume of 1M is flowing wildly in almost 1 second, and a book can be read in ten seconds.
In this case, if the branch hat can still detect his emotions or thoughts, it is a magical tool!
"Um..." The branch hat hesitated: What the hell is going on?
It was the first time it felt a headache. Is it going to grow a brain?
It lasted for thirty seconds without any movement.
Ted decided to take the initiative to break the deadlock. He asked in a low voice: "Is there any problem, Mr. Hat?"
"Well~ It's hard to make a decision. It seems that there is a force that has been affecting me to recognize you..."
Hidden thoughts and mental resistance lv2 are indeed useful, similar to soul-catching thoughts, mind reading techniques and true spitting agents, will be disturbed.
Coupled with Ted's unethical "thinking traffic attack" and sneak attacks on its thousand-year-old hat, it really makes it a little confused.
After a few dozen seconds, the branch hat finally spoke.
"Smart, pursuing power, contempt for law and authority is very suitable for Slytherin..."
Ted: Ah?
"Intellect, pursuing knowledge, and skillfully dealing with all the problems you encounter is very suitable for Ravenclaw..."
Ted: Well?
"Brave, longing for unknowns, and courageous and courageous, very suitable for Gryffindor..."
Ted: Ha?
"Diligence, willing to be ordinary, it is rare to have a heart that is fraternal and tolerant, which is very suitable for Hufflepuff...what should I do?"
Ted: Are you fooling around, are you?
Ted seriously suspected that it could not see through it and said that all four academies were fine. It was like fortune-telling, and it was just like talking about the same thing as saying the same thing!
Knowing that his method worked, Ted was stable.
He felt that the opportunity was rare and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Hat, how old are you?"
"Hoha, I'm over nine hundred years old!"
"Oh! The magic that can last for thousands of years is already great." Ted sighed with a "shock" look on his face.
"I'm huh huh huh huh, I'll never get it." The branch hat was very comfortable.
At this time, Professor McGonagall coughed a few times next to him, and the branch hat reacted: "Cough, we have to continue the branch."
"You might have assigned me to Azkaban?" Ted asked.
"Haha, you're so humorous, I like you." The branch hat was amused.
That's good!
Ted breathed a sigh of relief: "I think it's acceptable as long as I don't go to Slytherin."
"Are you sure? You should be able to do a big career there."
"Of course, you also said that I am willing to be ordinary, and I have never thought about doing a big career. And do you think I am a little wizard from a yellow-skinned Muggle orphanage who is really suitable to go to Slytherin?"
"Okay, since you insisted--Ravenclaw!!!" the branch hat shouted at the top of his throat!
After more than four minutes of hesitation, the branch hat assigned Ted to Ravenclaw.
The little wizard below and the professors above were all waiting urgently.
Professor McGonagall looked at Ted, who put down his hat and bowed to him. When she was in the branch office, it took five minutes to be assigned to Gryffindor.
To be honest, she was a little regretful that Ted was unable to get Gryffindor. After all, she still admired this self-reliant little guy.
Of course, Ted would not regret at all. After all, if it was in the hands of Professor McGonagall, I would probably not have good juice.
Ted waved at Hermione, Halle and the others and sat on Ravenclaw's table.
A group of people nodded to themselves or said welcome.
Ron whispered to Neville in the crowd, and Jerry said, "What a pity, Ted didn't get Gryffindor!"
Jerry whispered, “This doesn’t affect us being friends, does it?”
Neville: "Yes." These five friends are their first friends and will not affect their relationship due to different colleges.
Hermione looked at Ted, feeling a little anxious.
After Ted sat down, he began to think.
Ravenclaw! It's also good to be a scholar or a magic researcher.
"Ravenchlaw" is literally translated as "raven's claw", and the hidden meaning in the name is "greedy raven", which means the desire for knowledge.
Ravenclaw's motto: "We come from the lakeside, we are wise and knowledgeable, we love to study, we are different from ordinary people, we have a far-sighted vision, we are Ravenclaw."
"We are scholars who are covered in darkness but see through the darkness, and we are ravens who soar in the sky but never forget to stare at the land."
"Thanks to the ancient Ravenclaw for giving me eyes and quick thinking that insight into the world."
However, Ravenclaw doesn't have a strong presence in the original work.
For Ravenclaw herself, perhaps the most depressing thing is that none of the outstanding students mentioned in the original work attended her college.
Iron Triangle, McGrady and Dumbledore are from Gryffindor, Snape and Voldemort are from Slytherin, and Grindelwald will be assigned to Slytherin if he studied at Hogwarts 10,000 yuan, and the real player of the Triumph Championship Cedric Diggory is Hufflepuff.
Embarrassing capitalization!
But Ravenclaw is nothing wrong. As the saying goes: I want to know for a long time, and I want to know for a long time. Ravenclaw, don’t be trapped... Well, forget it! Forget it!
A "ding~" sound woke Ted up.
