Chapter 237： Sorting hat

When Lynn was thinking about asking Ms. Gray, she had already drifted away.

There are many doubts.

He recalled the expression on Ms. Gray when she said these words, and he always felt that this matter was not as simple as he thought.

But it was late today, and Lynn might cause trouble for Hermione if he continued to wander around the castle. He remembered what Ms. Gray had said in his heart and went back to the responsive room.

Hermione was still turning over those thick brick-like tomes in the responsive room, and she yawned as she watched Lynn come in.

"I thought you wouldn't be back tonight. Now the curfew has started."

When Lynn came, he stopped by the kitchen to make some supper, and handed it to Hermione.

"Where can I go if I don't come back, I have worked hard for you today, and I have been reading the book for such a long time here."

They were eating supper in the responsive house while facing today's experience.

"... That's all for Harry and Ron. I watched all their spell homework, and they did a good job. Then I went to Ravenclaw's bedroom and ran into each other halfway through. Freshman Luna Lovegood, you made a deal with her and answered the question about the eagle-shaped knocker. Then Luna asked you to visit the Ravenclaw common room. You refused, and she helped call Ms. Gray After coming out, you finally had a secret conversation with Ms. Gray. That’s all you have experienced tonight."

Hermione listened carefully, in case there was a mismatch between her and Lynn's identities after the exchange of identities.

"Did you ask about the entrance to that basilisk hiding place?"

Lynn rubbed his forehead with a headache: "There is a clue, but the clue Ms. Gray gave me is very strange. You will come back after class tomorrow. I need to verify it."

Of course Hermione obediently agreed, and then Lynn used the Magic Charm to send her back to Gryffindor's bedroom, and returned to the responsive room by herself.

No words for a night.

After Hermione finished class the next evening, Lynn once again borrowed her identity to act in Hogwarts.

The three things Ms. Gray said are actually easy to find.

Ravenclaw’s door knocker eagle is hung on the door of the common room. The Gryffindor sorting hat is now lying quietly in the principal’s room, and Hochpatch’s kitchen painting should be the one painted with fruits to hide Mural of the kitchen door at Hogwarts.

As for why there was no Slytherin, Lynn guessed that maybe it was because he left Hogwarts after Slytherin and the other Big Three fell out, so there is no him here.

But then again, what will the things that the goblin build in Hogwarts Castle have to do with the Big Four of Hogwarts?

Lynn didn't understand it for the time being, but he decided he could try as Ms. Gray said.

After having dinner in place of Hermione and Harry, Lynn went straight to the nearest kitchen entrance on the first floor.

This is a corridor with frescoes on both sides, and the entrance to the common room of Hauchpatch College is also in this place.

But it was just the time when dinner was over, and this corridor was filled with Haochipatch’s students, and Lynn obviously came at an untimely time.

So he didn't stop, changed direction and walked towards the entrance of the principal's office on the third floor.

Dumbledore was not at Hogwarts for a period of time after school started. He will not return until three days before Lynn got the time converter on September 19th. The stone monster guarding the principal’s office was as early as last semester. No longer blocking Lynn in and out of the principal's office at will.

Changing back to his appearance, Lynn entered the unmanned principal's room, and then went straight to the sorting hat that had been idle in the office for a year.

Lynn picked up the hat and digs into it without giving up, trying to pull out Gryffindor’s great sword, but still only touched a piece of air. He curled his lips and could only put it on his own. On the head.

"..."

The air was quiet for a few seconds, neither the Sorting Hat nor Lynn spoke.

They are like two swordsmen holding swords in a duel, silently changing positions, waiting for each other to reveal their flaws.

In the end, the Sorting Hat couldn't help it.

"Oh! My goodness! Why did you wear me again? Please, let me go, I don't want to see you again."

Lynn raised his eyebrows and feet. This was the first time he had talked with the Sorting Hat since he was in the Sorting. He didn't expect that he didn't want to see himself.

"Why? I remember you were the same when I put on you for the first time. Before I even touched my hair, I was assigned to Slytherin. I heard that you shouldn't have considered it when you were in the branch. The opinion of the little wizard?"

"There will always be a special case in everything, you are the special case... Okay Lynn, don’t wear me, and don’t try to take out Gryffindor’s sword from me. Gryffindor will not let you own it."

"Why?"

"What and why? How can there be so many whys, why do we have to ask why?"

Lynn didn't speak, so he sat on the chair of the principal's office with his hat, as if he didn't care about the sorting hat.

He came here to find the Sorting Hat to ask if what Ms. Gray said to him was correct, but now the performance of the Sorting Hat aroused his curiosity, and he wanted to ask all questions today.

After about ten minutes,

"Okay, okay, I really convinced you, you should know that I used to be Gryffindor's hat." The Sorting Hat said helplessly.

Lynn nodded: "But you have such a magical power that the four founders of Hogwarts gave to you together It seems that you have done a lot of homework, and you must have a good grade in the history of magic. ."

"You are Gryffindor's hat and then." Lynn didn't give him a chance to change the subject.

"Yes, although my magic power was bestowed by the four of them, I used to be Gryffindor's hat after all, so when I was sorting out, I would always lean towards Gryffindor a little bit, just like Gryffindor. The qualities required by Lanfindor are so similar to those of Slytherin. When encountering those unique talents and meeting the conditions for both colleges, I will be more inclined to assign him to Gryffindor."

Lynn blinked: "Harry Potter is talented enough to be called special, but I heard him say that if it wasn't for his own strong request, you would assign him to Slytherin."

"I said that there will always be exceptions. His talent is excellent, and his quality meets the requirements of the Slytherin and Gryffindor colleges. Under such circumstances, I should have taken the initiative to assign him to Gryffindor. Many, but the marks of Slytherin on him are too heavy, I even thought he was a descendant of Slytherin when he was on his head."
