Chapter 33 Accidents at the Sorting Ceremony
...
"Hufflepuff!"
The hat only stayed on the head of the little girl named Hannah for a moment, and then the result of the sorting was quickly given.
At this time, among the four long tables, the young wizards at the long table on the far right immediately stood up and clapped and cheered, welcoming the little girl named Hannah to join Hufflepuff.
"Susan Bones! Hufflepuff!"
"Terry Boot! Ravenclaw!"
...
"Hermione Granger!"
After the Sorting Hat quickly or slowly sorted out seven or eight young wizards, Hermione's name was finally called out by the Sorting Hat.
"come on!"
Amid Jerry's cheers, Hermione ran all the way to the podium.
"Gryffindor!"
The Sorting Hat hesitated for a moment, but seemed to sense something and finally called out Gryffindor.
And Hermione was very happy and ran towards the long Gryffindor table on the far left, which was full of applause and laughter.
"Jerry Kamen!"
As soon as Hermione finished dividing, Jerry's name popped out of Professor McGonagall's mouth.
After adjusting the wizard's robe, he walked to the podium with unhurried steps, picked up the Sorting Hat and put it on his head.
"I want to get..."
Jerry had just planned to tell the Sorting Hat that he wanted to be sorted into Gryffindor like Harry did in the movie. Unexpectedly, the moment the Sorting Hat came into contact with his hair, he reported the sorting result directly:
"Slytherin!"
"Slytherin Walter, Falk!"
Hearing the results reported by the Sorting Hat, Jerry's heart suddenly felt like ten thousand horses racing past. He felt that all the plans he had thought up before were completely shattered after the Sorting Hat's sound.
He stiffly took off the Sorting Hat and looked at the regretful expression of Professor McGonagall next to him. Jerry reluctantly walked towards the Slytherin table in the second row on the right.
On the other side of the Gryffindor table, Hermione also had a disappointed look on her face when she saw that Jerry had been assigned to Slater.
She really wanted to be sorted into Gryffindor with Jerry, but she never thought that fate would play a trick on her. This rare friend who got along so well would be sorted into Slytherin by the Sorting Hat.
But she still endured her disappointment and waved to Jerry over there.
Because she knew that Jerry actually wanted to be sorted into Gryffindor, but now he was sorted into Slytherin, and he would definitely be sad.
Look, you can tell something from his stiff expression just now.
"How could Jerry be sorted into Slytherin? Among the wizards who have turned evil, there is not one who is not from Slytherin!"
In the team, Ron, who had not yet been sorted, saw Jerry being sorted into Slytherin and said to Harry next to him in disbelief.
"Jerry is not a bad person. Don't forget, he also helped us teach that guy named Malfoy a lesson on the train!"
Although Harry didn't have a good impression of Slytherin due to Ron's indoctrination, it didn't stop him from being very grateful to Jerry for his generous action on the train.
So even if Jerry was sorted into Slytherin, he still felt that Jerry couldn't be a bad person.
"Oh, I know, I don't think Jerry is a bad person, I just think the Sorting Hat seems to have sorted it in the wrong place. Jerry should be sorted into Gryffindor!"
Ron shrugged.
At this moment, little Malfoy on the podium was also sorted into Slytherin by the Sorting Hat.
Seeing this, Harry couldn't help but nodded. Slytherin should be suitable for a guy like Malfoy.
...
"Why Slytherin? This is unscientific!"
Jerry, who was sitting on the long Slytherin table, was not in the mood to watch the sorting ceremony at this moment. Instead, he frowned and began to think about why he was instantly determined to be a Slytherin by the Sorting Hat.
After carefully recalling all the remarks about Slater, he gradually gained some clarity.
The most basic requirement for entering Slytherin is that you must be pure blood or mixed blood, that is, either both parents are wizards, or at least one parent must be a wizard.
For example, young wizards whose parents are Muggles, such as Hermione, no matter how outstanding they are, will never be sorted into Slytherin.
Then look at Jerry, who are Jerry’s parents in this world?
That doesn't exist at all. His body is originally a strange panel, brought from the main world of Marvel, and the wizard blood in his body was also exchanged for little red stars.
So Jerry guessed that the wizard bloodline he exchanged for the little red star might be the purest and oldest wizard bloodline.
After all, the strange panel can actually bring him from the world of Marvel to the world of Harry Potter. There is no reason to redeem the wizard's bloodline.
It's not that mixed-blood ones are bad, but he personally feels that pure-blood wizard bloodlines should have a higher growth limit than mixed-blood wizard bloodlines. For example, they will have more magic power than their peers.
Because the top Dumbledore and Grindelwald seem to be pure bloods.
Of course, strength mainly depends on the understanding and use of magic. The slight advantages of magic are nothing.
Voldemort, Snape, and Professor McGonagall were all born of mixed blood, but they were still very powerful, especially Voldemort, who was second only to Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
In fact, people like Hermione can be considered mixed-race, but the concentration may not be that high.
For wizards born in Muggle families, Jerry feels that one of the ancestors of both parents must have had a wizard, but the wizard bloodline in the descendants has not yet awakened.
Analyzing from the perspective of personality, Slytherin's wizard characteristics, in the eyes of outsiders, are arrogance, very ambitious, scheming, and like to fight for power.
Jerry felt that he did not fit into any of these.
But he thought about it carefully, and it seemed that interpreting Slytherin in that way seemed too one-sided.
Perhaps a comment about Slytherin he accidentally saw on the Internet was more suitable for his current situation.
That comment mentioned that the person who can truly represent Slytherin should actually be Professor Slughorn who appeared in the sixth grade.
Pursuing fame and fortune, he likes to accept people as students, but he will not take the initiative to harm others. Forming a slug club is also a mutual benefit with outstanding students to achieve a win-win situation.
He supports the blood theory, but is not a brainless advocate. He also appreciates Hermione and Harry's mother Lily, who are Muggle-born but very outstanding.
He is very smart and can assess the situation to ensure that his own interests will not be damaged, but he also has his own bottom line. As a Slytherin in the final battle, he firmly stood on the side of Hogwarts.
Therefore, Slytherin should be a bottom-line egoist, a selfish person who will not take the initiative to harm others.
If you look at it this way, it seems that he can match up with him in a new life!
Pure blood, coupled with his truest character in his heart and his extremely purposeful actions. Is it because of these that the Sorting Hat decided that he was a Slytherin?
