Chapter 17： Prisoner of Azkaban

almost when the sorting cap first touched Lynn's hair.

That worn and dirty hat yelled like an electric shock:

"Slytherin!"

Lynn was stunned.

His hands are still holding the brim of the hat, and he hasn't even put it on his head completely.

He has no prejudice against Slytherin, but you are too casual, right?

And is it possible that students from Muggle families will be assigned to Slytherin?

Lynn turned his head innocently and looked at Professor McGonagall who was standing aside.

Professor did not show too much surprise about this, she urged Lynn.

"Your branch is over, Mr. Belloc, please put your hat back and it's the next person's turn."

Lynn had to put the sorting hat back on the four-corner stool, and then walked towards the cheering Slytherin table.

Until he was seated, Lynn didn't understand how the sorting hat made a judgment.

It didn't even say a word to itself, let alone understand his own thoughts.

So it sees its talent for black magic?

Lynn reasoned out a possibility in his heart.

But this guess is not very tenable. After all, although Slytherin is rich in dark wizards, it has never said that it will use dark magic talent as a condition for screening students.

The branching ceremony is still going on, and Lynn’s incident is not even a small episode in the eyes of the old students and professors.

Every year, some students with very prominent personalities will make the Sorting Hat make judgments very quickly. This phenomenon is not common but not rare.

At most, I know that Lynn is Professor McGonagall and Professor Fox from a Muggle family. I was a little surprised in my heart.

It's really rare that a Muggle-born freshman will be assigned to Slytherin.

The Slytherin elders and seniors around them are still kind, holding the mentality of being at ease when they come, and Lynn is not thinking about it, quietly watching the sorting style continue.

"Ian Douglas Campbell!"

With the sound of Professor McGonagall's voice, the silver-haired boy who was in the same carriage with Linn on the train and holding an umbrella on a sunny day walked quickly to the high platform.

The sorting hat seemed to hesitate on his head for a long time, and finally he was sorted into Ravenclaw.

...

"Autumn Zhang!"

A little Asian girl ran to Professor McGonagall’s side and hurriedly buckled the sorting hat on her head.

This is the only little wizard that Lynn knew, who was in the same class as him.

The first girlfriend of the savior Harry Potter, who is also of Chinese descent.

There is also the little kid who was on the boat with Linn when crossing the lake. His name was Hubert McLean. He was really assigned to Slytherin as he said.

When he raised his chest and raised his head, he came to the Slytherin table like a knight who had just been awarded by the king, and when he saw Lynn sitting on the chair where the old **** was, his whole body suddenly collapsed.

It's like the knight finds that awarding honors is not worth anything at all, as long as individuals have them.

He flushed and looked a little frustrated, but he still maintained the minimum etiquette.

"Why are you lying to me?"

He sat across from Lynn and asked with staring eyes.

Lynn looked at him inexplicably: "What did I lie to you?"

"You tell me your parents are Muggles!"

"Yes, although I am an orphan, I have never seen them, but they have identities and assets in normal society. They should be Muggles."

"Then why were you assigned to Slytherin!"

"How do I know." Lynn spread his hands, "Does Slytherin have a rule of not recruiting wizards from Muggles?"

A Slytherin senior sitting near them answered this question.

"no."

The senior shook his head, but his eyes looked strange at Lynn.

"Slytherin also had new Muggle families before, but very few, and there may not be one in three years."

"So I'm still a genius who hasn't met in three years?" Lynn murmured silently.

"In a sense, it is true."

It was the prefect of Slytherin who was talking. When Lynn first came over, she introduced herself. Her name was Betty Delis. She was a girl who looked very capable in appearance.

After the branching ceremony, Principal Dumbledore’s opening speech interrupted the conversation at the Slytherin long table.

"...Because of Professor Stoke's misfortune last semester, I agreed to his resignation application.

Now I want to introduce to you our new Defence Against the Dark Arts class professor, Adrian Fox, who is an expert in Defence Against the Dark Arts and will also be a competent professor. "

Professor Fox smiled and waved to the little wizards on the high platform.

But it is strange that the applause from the little wizards below is very few.

It was almost silent even on the long Slytherin table.

As soon as Lynn raised his hand to give Fox a show, he saw that the Slytherins around after hearing the name of Professor Fox almost all had a black face, including several professors sitting on the high platform. There seems to be no good face.

Professor Fox's reputation doesn't seem to be very good.

Lynn frowned and hesitated for a moment, then put down his hands that were about to clap.

He is going to investigate the situation at the beginning of the dinner party for a while.

Dumbledore didn't make a long speech, but after making some necessary announcements, he announced that the dinner had begun.

As soon as his words fell, countless steaming food appeared out of thin air on the empty plate in front of Lynn, which made the freshmen who were struggling all the way to appetite suddenly, waving their knife and fork and began to enjoy the food in front of them. UU Reading

The Slytherins started their meals slowly and organized, which was far different from the fiery Gryffindor on the other side.

"I thought the news was false. I didn't expect Professor Dumbledore to actually invite him over."

A senior boy sighed.

Prefect Betty is cutting a Munich sausage.

"Is it ironic if you don't realize it? Let him be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and it is estimated that it will occupy the front page of the Daily Prophet for a month after the news goes out."

"My father warned me that if he does come to Hogwarts, let me stay away from him, even if I want to pull Professor Dumbledore's beard, don't provoke him."

"Excuse me…"

Lynn cautiously intervened in their conversation, "Does he mean the new Fox Professor in your mouth? He... Is there any problem?"

Hubert, who was also a freshman, looked at him with disdain.

"Do you dare to interrupt our chat without knowing anything."

Lynn looked at him speechlessly, thinking that this little kid really owed him.

"Shut up! Is the McLean family such a tutor?"

Betty taught Hubert in the face, and then explained to Lynn and other little wizards who didn’t know the inside story:

"Although it is not a good thing to talk about professors behind your back, I still recommend that you stay away from the new Professor Fox.

He was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban for torturing and killing five wizards with the Unforgivable Curse.

Later, due to our principal, Professor Dumbledore, who tried his best to protect him, and because of a turnaround in his crimes, his sentence was revoked by Wizengamore two years ago and his sentence was released early. "
