Chapter 27 Slytherin!
"Hermione Granger!"
The brown-haired girl turned back to look at Ash, who gave her a thumbs up.
Blushing slightly, Hermione walked up to the high platform, sat on the four-legged stool, and asked Professor McGonagall to put her hat on.
"Gryffindor."
The Sorting Hat's voice was still weak, but it was still faithfully performing its duties.
The Gryffindor students gave them warm applause. Hermione blushed and walked to the long Gryffindor table and sat down in one of the empty seats.
"Something's wrong," Harley whispered.
"What's wrong?" Cassandra next to her asked doubtfully.
"Professor McGonagall didn't call Ash's name." Harley said worriedly.
Cassandra didn't take it seriously:
"There are still so many people."
Harley was still a little worried and pursed her lips slightly:
"But, people in the past were listed by the first letter of their last name. Ash should be listed before Hermione."
After Harley's reminder, Cassandra finally reacted and looked at Ash.
She lowered her voice and asked:
"Did something happen?"
"Don't worry, it's not an accident."
Ash patted the two girls on the head and said softly:
"I should be last."
He was a transfer student and was not originally on that list. Of course he should be at the bottom.
Harley and Cassandra looked at each other, both wondering why Ash was in last place?
"Cassandra Malfoy," Professor McGonagall called.
The blond girl walked forward proudly and sat on the chair. As soon as the Sorting Hat touched her head, she immediately gave the answer:
"Slytherin!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"
The Slytherin students were excited, and Cassandra still maintained her usual arrogance as she walked towards the Slytherin table.
M is already a very low letter, and there are very few students left who have not yet been sorted into colleges.
So, soon it was Harley's turn.
Professor McGonagall shouted:
"Harry Potter."
"Harry Potter? Did she just call Harry Potter?"
"Is that Harry Potter?"
The students immediately exploded when they heard the name.
But Harley was so nervous that she ignored their exclamations.
The Sorting Hat finally seemed to show some interest, and its tone was somewhat elusive:
"Ah! You, you have courage, a good heart, a lot of talent, and you are extremely eager to prove yourself..."
"Ah, this is really hard to decide. Where do you want to go?"
Hearing the Sorting Hat's question, Harley subconsciously looked at Cassandra and Ash, and an answer came to her mind:
"Slytherin."
"Ah? Okay! Okay!"
The Sorting Hat's voice became excited and announced loudly:
"Slytherin!"
The scene fell into a brief silence, and the next moment suddenly broke out into amazing cheers - it was the Slytherin students, and they almost jumped to their feet!
"Harry Potter is coming to Slytherin!"
"We have Potter!"
"Harry Potter belongs in Slytherin!"
Cassandra sat reservedly and did not stand up to greet her, but her expression remained proud.
Harley didn't know anyone else, so she naturally chose to sit next to Cassandra, which made Cassandra's expression even more proud.
Ash smiled and clapped his blessings, glancing towards the long table where the teachers were.
Most people's expressions were not very good, and they just gave perfunctory applause. Only Snape did not hide his feelings at all, smiled extremely happily, and applauded louder than anyone else.
As for Dumbledore——
Ash looked at the old man in the middle, who had a gentle smile on his face and was applauding Harley.
Ash looked away. He couldn't see through the old silver coin, but he was sure that Dumbledore's mood was definitely not as good as it seemed.
There are four remaining students, one went to Slytherin, one went to Ravenclaw, and Ron went to Gryffindor. This is for sure, their family is all Gryffindor, just like Cassandra, the sorting hat will know where he should go when he touches it.
Finally, there is Ash Black, the transfer student of this class - in fact, he has been transferred twice.
"Oh! It's you! Oh oh oh oh! This is really unusual."
As soon as the Sorting Hat was placed on Ash's head, he immediately shouted in surprise:
"In history, you are the first..."
The Sorting Hat clicked his tongue in surprise, but he did not say the last sentence - the first student to wear it twice.
The Sorting Hat asked:
"Well, where are you going? Slytherin?"
Before Ash could answer, it shook its head again:
"No no no, you can't go there."
Hearing the sound of the Sorting Hat, the originally confident Harry and Cassandra at the Slytherin table opened their eyes wide at the same time.
The Sorting Hat looked like he was thinking hard, and after a long time he said loudly:
"Let me see, ah! Ravenclaw!"
Applause broke out at the long table where the students of Ravenclaw House were sitting. Most of the students at this long table were girls - this was exactly the opposite of the Gryffindor next to it. Most of the students in Gryffindor were boys. This was different from the students. It’s about their personalities.
"Ohhhhhh!"
The long Gryffindor table also burst into applause, but there were only three of them - one was Hermione. Her expression was a little regretful, but she still applauded Ash and gave her blessings. The other two are Fred and George.
The twins were obviously heckling, but they were also sincerely wishing.
Following their lead, Ron and Percy also started to applaud, and then the entire Gryffindor camp burst into applause.
Harley said softly:
"Cassandra, we should be happy for him."
Cassandra stared at the Sorting Hat as if looking at an enemy.
But at Harley's request, Cassandra reluctantly clapped with her.
When they saw Harry clapping, the Slytherin students immediately clapped together.
Although I don’t know why, since Harry Potter applauded, they must applaud together!
As a result, students from all three colleges were applauding.
The Hufflepuff student didn't know why, but when he saw everyone else applauding, he felt like he couldn't do it without applauding.
Eventually, Hufflepuff joined in the applause.
Some girls in Ravenclaw suddenly felt dissatisfied when they saw people from other houses applauding people from their own house.
Why do you people from our college applaud?
So they clapped and cheered harder, as if it was some kind of competition, and students from other colleges also spontaneously increased their applause.
"Bah bang bang!"
The applause that was louder than any other time resounded in the auditorium, even louder than when Dumbledore spoke.
Dumbledore was also applauding, with a gentle smile on his face - although Harry Potter's sorting was completely unexpected, at least there was one good thing, Ash was no longer a Slytherin student.
And Slytherin is not hopeless, Snape is the best example, this will not affect his plan.
