In the evening, the freshmen finally arrived at the auditorium.

Not long after, under the guidance of Professor McGonagall, the sorting ceremony began.

Murphy sat at the teacher's desk, watching the repertoire leisurely, and occasionally saying a few words to Professor Flitwick next to him.

Although he tried to hint through notes that Tom joined Gryffindor in order to better participate in the Philosopher's Stone project, it didn't matter that he was in Slytherin. As long as the three protagonists were together, it would not be off track.

Therefore, he was very relaxed at the moment, completely in the state of mind of watching a show.

Listening to the Sorting Hat talking nonsense to the little wizards and then assigning them to their respective houses is a bit like opening a blind box. If Dumbledore hadn't come back, Murphy would have to maintain the majestic image of the school director. At this moment, he would I want to open a handicap and make a bet.

And the Sorting Hat is also a very interesting thing. It is not unusual that it has the ability to think. There are not many things in the wizarding world that can think, such as the portraits that can be seen everywhere in Hogwarts, and those armors that can move on their own. kind.

What is interesting is his ability to identify students when sorting them. Murphy wants to know how he distinguishes the characteristics of students.

One is naturally that it can read minds, and has formed a deep learning mechanism through countless branchings over thousands of years. It can directly determine the college that is suitable for the other party through the other party's thoughts.

Another conjecture is that perhaps it reads the student's magical properties. According to the Conjuration Research Group, the wizard's "aura" - that is, the magical properties, and their own personality traits, emotions and even emotional states. relation.

Of course, maybe the hat has both mechanisms.

And compared to these, being able to keep magic working on a hat for a thousand years seems even more amazing.

A thousand years!

Even if you store it in a glass cabinet, it may not be able to be stored for that long.

This thing is still used every year, and it has not been broken into rags.

I don’t know what material this hat is made of, so it’s so durable.

It can't be a Horcrux, right?

While he was wandering, Tom put on the sorting hat and was sorted into Slytherin as expected. Murphy glanced at Dumbledore and Quirrell out of the corner of his eye. They both behaved very normally. He didn't seem to notice anything unusual about Tom.

Then came Hermione Granger. Just when Murphy thought she was going to be sorted into Gryffindor, an accident happened and the hat shouted: "Ravenclaw!"

The Ravenclaw table erupted in cheers.

Murphy was stunned.

What the hell?

Ravenclaw?

Hermione went to Ravenclaw?

How come the Iron Triangle lost one of them because of such a distracted effort?

Although based on Hermione's character, if there is no subjective intention, the hat does have a higher probability of sorting her into Ravenclaw, but... didn't she say she wanted to go to Gryffindor before?

Murphy was puzzled and couldn't throw Legilimency in front of Dumbledore now. Besides, no one seemed to find it strange except him. He had no choice but to calm down and look at Harry and Rowe in the team. kindness.

Can you two stop having any trouble?

Fortunately, most of the remaining students were assigned similar to those in the original book. Malfoy arrived in Slytherin, but when he saw Tom smiling and applauding at the table, for some reason, his pride was suddenly reduced by half.

Although Harry let the hat hesitate for a long time, he was finally assigned to Gryffindor.

Ron was sorted into Gryffindor without any suspense.

In other words, only Hermione left the team.

Would the trio still be friends if Hermione wasn't in Gryffindor?

And Hermione's own role is very crucial.

The Harry Potter series is ridiculed as the story of Hermione Granger and her two useless men. It is not unreasonable. Without Hermione's IQ bonus, can Harry and Ron win? Getting to the Philosopher's Stone is a problem.

Maybe let Tom take Hermione's place?

Murphy glanced at Dumbledore who announced the start of dinner.

It would be too risky to push Tom out now without knowing what the principal's arrangements were.

Maybe, we should think of another way to reunite the trio.

After dinner, Dumbledore announced that the forest and the corridor on the fourth floor were forbidden to enter, and then said: "This year, we have a new professor joining us. Everyone welcomes the practical class professor, Mr. Murphy Darkholm. .Please Professor Murphy, tell us a few words."

This was a pre-arranged session, and Murphy did not refuse and came to a small podium in front of the teacher's table.

"Thank you, Principal Dumbledore, and all the professors." Murphy greeted Dumbledore and the professors around him. "Eleven years ago, I was also a freshman at Hogwarts. Now I have the opportunity to stand here and talk to you all. It was a great honor to work with my former professors.”

"And all freshmen, welcome. Seeing you reminds me of what I was like back then. Back then, I was standing down there, waiting with anticipation and fear for that old hat to assign me to who knows which college. .”

"What's even more disgusting is that the professors are so secretive about this matter. They seem to deliberately not tell us what criteria the hats use to allocate us to colleges, which makes us very nervous, but they are still enjoying it. Watch our jokes from the podium.”

"Ah, sorry Professor McGonagall, I didn't mean you."

"I'm just saying I just got a kick out of it today."

"Anyway, in the end, the hat assigned me to Ravenclaw. I don't know why. Maybe the hat saw some of my future talents and thought I might become smarter."

"Whatever. I'm glad it didn't sort me into Hufflepuff."

“I didn’t become the least cool student.”

The students at the three long tables in the auditorium laughed a lot, but the students at the Hufflepuff table looked downcast.

Even Professor Sprout frowned.

"I'm also glad that it didn't sort me into Slytherin. I was afraid that I would be bullied by future dark wizards if I entered Slytherin."

Gryffindor burst into laughter, but the Slytherin table was in commotion.

Snape's face looked as if he was about to curse Murphy.

But soon, even Gryffindor could no longer laugh.

"Gryffindor? Oh, of course, they are cool, unique, and always leading the trend. But to be honest, sometimes we still feel that it is a little too much..."

"They are like a group of undergrown children, noisy and reckless, stupid and fun-loving, they are simply troublemakers."

Professor McGonagall stared, how could a professor say that to the students!

The Ravenclaw table smiled proudly.

In fact, those little lions are so noisy, they are both playful and fun-loving, which is a true reflection of them.

Professor Murphy is worthy of being born in Ravenclaw, and he really has their taste.

But Murphy was going to disappoint them.

"However, is Ravenclaw very good?" Murphy suddenly said, "Dear chicks of the Eagle Academy, do you know what our image is in other academies?"

"Nerd," Murphy said, without mercy.

Now all the students were confused. Murphy had damaged all four colleges. What did he want to say?
