In the principal's office, the entire office became quiet again because of Professor Snape's words, and the atmosphere became even more gloomy.
After a while, Professor Sprout spoke with some caution and whispered: "But... that kid Covin is different from that person."
"What's the difference?" Professor Snape's mood still hadn't returned to calm. After hearing this, he immediately said: "Is the appearance different? Or is the age different?"
"No, I mean..." Professor Sprout waved his hand and turned to look at Professor McGonagall: "At least, little Covin is a Gryffindor, not a Slytherin, I'm sorry.
Severus, that's not what I meant..."
Snape, who was also born in Slytherin, shook his head slightly to show that he didn't care, but retorted: "People from other houses have also produced many scum. Perhaps, Gryffindor's background can just be used to explain his appearance and appearance.
Buyi' provided the perfect cover."
At this time, Flitwick turned to look at a display cabinet in the office. Inside the cabinet, the Sorting Hats were displayed quietly.
After hesitating, Professor Flitwick spoke with a tangled tone: "I have something to explain. Of course, I still believe in Xiao Kewen."
"Filius, please speak." Dumbledore said softly.
"About the matter of sorting." Professor Flitwick said hesitantly: "Actually, little Kewen's quality is suitable for all houses, but in the end little Kewen decided to go to Gryffindor."
Then, Professor Flitwick told the story about how he asked the Sorting Hat about the Covin branch.
Everyone was very surprised after hearing this.
"Do you understand?" Professor Snape was even more excited: "He is also a Slytherin!"
"Okay Severus!" Professor McGonagall finally couldn't help but said, frowning and said: "You, the Head of Slytherin, don't forget that the Sorting Hat decides who goes to Slytherin based on the blood of the students.
, not quality!”
"I think it must be quality!" Snape retorted stubbornly: "There are many mixed-bloods in Slytherin, at least I am one!"
"Albus?" Professor McGonagall sighed after hearing this, and then turned to ask Dumbledore for his opinion.
Seeing this, Dumbledore nodded slightly and said softly: "I still agree with Minerva, but let's listen to what the Sorting Hat has to say."
After finishing speaking, Dumbledore waved his hand to the display cabinet, causing the display cabinet to open automatically, and the Sorting Hat inside quickly flew to the Dean's desk.
Then, Dumbledore tapped the table with his fingers.
"Yeah..." The Sorting Hat seemed to have just woken up. The folds on the hat began to twist, forming the shape of eyes and mouth, and it squirmed and yawned.
"Oh? What's going on?" The Sorting Hat saw the scene in the office clearly and said in surprise: "Did something big happen?"
"That's right." Dumbledore briefly explained the situation, and then said: "We need to hear your side of the story about what happened when you tested Corwin Quinn."
"Kevin Quinn? Oh, I remember him very clearly." The Sorting Hat immediately became excited after hearing this: "That child is the most special child I have ever seen. You will never imagine that his quality is as high as
It has reached the limit of the admission standards of the four colleges!”
"What are the testing standards for Slytherin House?" Snape immediately asked: "On what basis do you judge that he can be sorted into Slytherin?"
"Slytherin, yes, I remember." The Sorting Hat turned around with its tip, looked at Snape and replied: "I judged based on the bloodline standard. The child's bloodline is very noble. As for how
He is noble, but I don’t know it, it’s just that the magic in me tells me so.”
Hearing this, everyone except Professor Snape secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"But..." Unexpectedly, the Sorting Hat had something more to say: "But the magic in my body also told me that the child will have great achievements in the future, so I said that the child has reached the limit of the admission standards of all colleges.
"
"Is our Gryffindor standard for bravery?" Professor McGonagall immediately answered and asked.
"Of course." The sorting hat nodded and turned to look at each professor: "The standards, as you know, have never changed."
Before Professor McGonagall could relax, Snape continued to shout without giving up: "The Sorting Hat said 'great achievement'! What achievement? That person also made a great achievement!"
"Severus, you are too aggressive today." Professor Sprout soothed softly: "Didn't you listen carefully to what the Sorting Hat said? Xiao Kewen has the highest quality of all colleges, even if you don't care about Gran
The qualities of Fendo, but you should also think about the qualities of us Hufflepuffs."
"Of course." The Sorting Hat interjected and said in a relaxed tone: "Integrity, loyalty, honesty, and fearlessness of hardships. Covin Quinn also has these qualities. If it weren't for me saying that Hufflepuff House was in the basement,
I’m afraid Corwin Quinn’s first choice is Hufflepuff House. I remember that he was very interested in the kitchen at the beginning.”
"Ah, that's such a pity." Professor Sprout sighed, shaking his head in amusement.
"Yeah, it's quite a pity." Professor Flitwick also intervened to ease the atmosphere and said with a smile: "Little Kewen is good at everything, but he just doesn't like trouble. The reason why he didn't choose our Ravenclaw is actually
It’s too troublesome to dislike the door knocker haha.”
"You..." Snape was a little helpless, heaving his chest, and after a long time he said stubbornly: "Don't make the mistake of focusing on your focus! You should pay attention to the danger of that Corvin Quinn! You should pay attention to his appearance and inside.
Inconsistent performance!”
"He has tremendous strength at a young age. In just over a month, he has already reached this level! Also, his mature performance is not like that of a child!"
"If it hadn't been for Dumbledore's reminder, who among you would have discovered that he was duplicitous? His behavior when he faced us in the afternoon, even I felt that he was the most innocent one!"
"He has been attacked by Death Eaters." Professor McGonagall took over and said seriously: "The child has been trembling in fear before the start of school. I have been in contact with him several times, and I can see this!"
"I think if it were me, I would probably be wary of the surrounding environment and hide my true emotions! Maybe he is used to this, so he behaved the way he did in the afternoon."
Having said this, Professor McGonagall solemnly concluded: "He is naturally on the opposite side of the Death Eaters!"
After hearing this, the others completely relaxed. Only Snape was still a little unwilling, but his mood was not so exciting...
