Different Sorting Results
Next, the Sorting Ceremony finally began. The Sorting Hat, which Professor McGonagall had placed on the stool, with its pointed head, began to wobble, and at the same time, a wide slit appeared in the brim of the hat (its mouth), and it began to sing:
You might think I'm not pretty,
But never judge a book by its cover.
If you can find a more beautiful hat than mine
I can eat myself.
You can make your top hats jet black and shiny.
Make your top hats smooth and crisp.
I am the Enchanted Hat used for the Hogwarts tests.
Nature is far superior to your hats.
Any thoughts hidden in your mind,
They couldn't escape the Enchanted Hat's sharp eyes.
Try it on!
I will tell you,
Which college should you be assigned to?
You may belong to Gryffindor.
There lies the courage buried deep in one's heart.
Their courage, boldness, and generosity
This makes Gryffindor stand out;
You may belong to Hufflepuff.
The people there are honest and loyal.
Hufflepuff students are persevering and Honesty.
Undeterred by arduous labor;
If you are smart,
Perhaps the Wisdom old Ravenclaw will be included.
Those wise and learned people,
They would always meet their kindred spirits there;
Maybe you'll get into Striderlin.
Perhaps you will make true friends here.
But those cunning and treacherous people will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
To achieve their goals.
Come and wear me!
Don't be afraid!
Don't panic!
In my hands (even though I don't even have one hand).
You are absolutely safe because I am a thinking Enchanted Hat!
After singing the long Sorting Song, the Sorting Hat politely bowed to all around, just like a superstar who had finished performing, and the crowd responded with enthusiastic applause.
Ron, standing nearby, quickly comforted his darling Harry, saying quipped, "So, all we have to do is wear this hat. I'm going to kill Fred; he talks like he's going to fight Giant."
Harry finally relaxed, Hermione stopped reciting, and even Neville's timid round face began to show confidence.
At this moment, Professor McGonagall stepped forward with a parchment. "Whoever I call by name, put on your hat, sit on the stool, and await the Sorting."
"Hannah Abbott!"
The future Madam Longbottom, with two golden braids, stumbled out of the line and put on the Sorting Hat that just covered her eyes.
A moment's pause... "Hufflepuff!" the hat called out.
The people at the table to Hannah right applauded and cheered, welcoming her to sit at their table.
The Fat Friar waved to her happily.
"Susan Bones!" "Hufflepuff!" the hat called out again.
Susan quickly ran to Hannah and sat down next to her.
The list is ordered alphabetically by the first letter of the young wizards' last names, from A to Z.
Unfortunately, Ryan, whose first letter is S, is undoubtedly at the end of the alphabet, even after the P in Harry Potter's alphabet.
In the original story, the last person called up to the Sorting House, Blaise Zabini, was the very last one; he was Z.
Standing on the stage and being watched by others must have been a frustrating experience, like being treated like a monkey show.
However, there were other interesting things that could alleviate Ryan's depression.
After all, the outcome of this sorting might be different from the original story.
First, there was Hermione. Ryan had already noticed that Hermione had also read his comics.
As Hermione entered the carriage, Ryan noticed it from the way she glanced at Hermione Doraemon book Ron had placed to the side—the look of a book lover seeing a book that interests them.
That makes sense. Hermione bought many books outside of textbooks in the original story, so how could she miss out on the most famous one recently, "Doraemon"?
I've mixed in a lot of my own ideas in the book. Books are the ladder of human progress, and the idea of studying hard and improving oneself is popular. Even the villain Darth Vader (Gian) possesses Gryffindor- like courage, Luke Walker (Nobita) is bullied and later gets beaten up – all because he didn't study hard enough.
Hermione Granger!
"Ravenclaw!" the hat shouted.
Sure enough, Hermione possesses Ravenclaw's traits. Ryan noticed that Ron had already revealed his pain mask. Ron Weasley is a W, which is later and earlier than Ryan's. There's more to come.
To Ryan's surprise, after Neville Longbottom had worn the hat for a long time, the Sorting Hat called out an unbelievable name from inside, "Neville Longbottom! Ravenclaw!"
Interesting. Could it be that Neville chose Gryffindor not only because of his own hidden courage, but also because of Hermione, the first girl to help him?
While Ryan was lost in thought, the Sorting Ceremony was still in full swing: Malfoy ... Mohn... Nott ... Parkinson ... followed by the Patil twins...
Then came Sally-Anne Perks ... and finally, it was Harry Potter's turn!
A sudden buzzing sound, like the crackling of small flames, came from inside the restaurant.
"Potter, is that Harry Potter next to Lucky Weasley?"
"Damn it, what did I miss?"
Nearby, Malfoy, who had already met up with his friends Crabbe and Goyle and was wearing a satisfied smile, stared at Harry with the eyes of someone who thought the diamond he had discovered was a more precious antique, completely forgetting about his friends, which drew an angry glare from Ron on the stage.
From Harry's perspective, he saw the restaurant teeming with people, all craning their necks to see him. Then came the dark world inside the hat and the waiting.
"Hmm," he heard a faint voice say in his ear, "Difficult, very difficult. You seem courageous, kind-hearted, and talented. Oh my God, good—you have a strong desire to prove yourself, so, very interesting... Where should I assign you?"
Harry gripped the edge of the stool tightly, thinking, "No Slytherin, no Slytherin."
Furthermore, in Harry's subconscious without his own awareness, the cats he hated most in his childhood transformed into the forms of Titi, Cher, Mr. Paws, and Mao Mao, then Jerry, which Ryan brought out, and finally Jerry transformed into a black lion, which in Harry's mind became a form of aversion to Gryffindor.
On the stage, Ryan looked at Harry's back with the hat on and smiled a smile he hadn't shown in a long time.
"Not going to Slytherin, is that right?" the subtle voice asked. "Have you made up your mind? You have the potential to achieve great things, you know. In a moment of your decision, Slytherin could help you reach glory, without a doubt—you don't want that? Fine, since you've made up your mind—then you'd better go to Ravenclaw!"
Harry heard the hat call out the last name to the entire dining hall. He took off the hat, his legs trembling slightly, and walked towards the Ravenclaw table. He had been chosen, and he hadn't been sorted into Slytherin, which greatly relieved him.
"No, Harry!" Ron couldn't help but shout, but no one cared.
Snape's eyes widened, Professor Flitwick jumped up excitedly, Quirrell drooped his chin and couldn't close his mouth for a long time, and the most excited were the Gryffindor, whose voices rose and fell from the farthest table on the left.
Meanwhile, at the second table on the left, the Ravenclaw abandoned all restraint and cheered, some even booing the Gryffindor.
"Quiet! Sorting will continue!" Dumbledore remained calm and collected, much to Ryan's disappointment, who had hoped to witness the spectacle.
I considered changing the Sorting Song, and I even tried it, but it just didn't feel the same. Thanks also to awdsxqe for the monthly pass and to other students for the recommendations.
