Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 20: The Sorting Hat seems to be playing a joke on me



"You really scared me to death just now," Ron put his hand on Dudley and Harry's shoulders, with a frightened look on his face. "If my mother knew that I was expelled on the first day I entered Hogwarts, she would definitely kill her." Mine."

The three of them had just changed into Hogwarts school uniforms and robes in a room, and were walking to the Hogwarts dining hall with Fred and George leading the way.

Suddenly, a petite figure caught up from behind, blocked the three of them in front of Dudley, and stopped them in their tracks.

"In any case, what you just did was too reckless and too bold." The person standing in the way was Hermione. Her eyes were red, as if she had just cried and was beaten on the cheek. The lump has disappeared.

"I never thought that I violated the school rules on my first day at school. How dare you fight others directly on the train, and in the name of revenge for me - I don't remember that I asked you to do it for me. If you come forward, everything will be over if you get fired. Can you think of the consequences before you take action!"

Hermione's barrage of accusations was directed at the three of Dudley without any courtesy.Dudley and Harry lowered their heads and said nothing, while Ron was a little angry, muttering "Who do you think you are?" in a low voice that Hermione couldn't hear.

"But." At this point, Hermione took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind, "I have to say that your behavior... is very brave. No one has ever stood up for me like you did. Thank you. .”

After Hermione finished speaking, she immediately turned her head and walked away at a fast speed as if she was trying to escape. She walked in front of Fred and George, leaving only the three people stunned.

"To be honest, I didn't expect her to thank us." Ron looked a little surprised. "After hearing what she said before, I thought she was that kind of boring nerd, but why did she run so fast in the end."

"I think she might be shy. I just saw her blushing when she turned her head." Harry said, "And since she spoke for my parents in front of Malfoy... maybe I should also ask An opportunity to thank her.”

Dudley looked a little embarrassed. After all, he knew in his heart that the main reason for his action was not to stand up for Hermione, but to take the opportunity to attack Peter Pettigrew.

Thinking of Peter Pettigrew, Dudley asked Ron: "Ron, where did your mouse Scabbers go? I thought it ran away after biting Goyle's finger. Did you find it later?"

Ron shrugged gloomily: "No, Fred and George both said it might have been trampled to death in the chaotic crowd, and said that biting Goyle was the most glorious moment in its life."

Dudley knew very well that people like Peter Pettigrew could not die easily. He would do whatever it took to survive. He was probably still hiding in a corner of the castle.But he would always show up again, because he couldn't live his whole life in a sewer somewhere with other rats.

When Dudley and the others arrived at the door of the restaurant, the sorting ceremony had already begun for some time. Only a small portion of the group of freshmen waiting for sorting was left. Dudley and the others hurriedly ran to join the group.

"Draco Malfoy!" Malfoy seemed to have arrived in the dining room before them. He walked towards the Sorting Hat in a grand manner, and almost as soon as the Sorting Hat touched his head, he screamed "Slytherin!"

Malfoy walked towards the Slytherin table with a satisfied expression, looking at Dudley and the others with a provocative expression.

"I knew he must be a Slytherin." Ron frowned and lowered his voice and said, "It is generally known that his family is connected with mysterious people. Almost all dark wizards are born in Slytherin." .”

"Hermione Granger!" Hermione almost ran to the stool and put on her hat in a hurry.

Taking advantage of this time, Ron whispered to Dudley and Harry about things related to the Kopp branch, of course with some subjective opinions.

"Slytherin students are more cunning and unscrupulous, and almost all of them are supporters of blood theory. Gryffindor students are more brave and righteous, Hufflepuff students are more honest and diligent, and Ravenclaw students are all They are students with good grades, and I guess Hermione is from Ravenclaw."

"Gryffindor!" But Ron didn't guess. Hermione walked to the cheering Gryffindor table and showed a bright smile.

"It's not surprising. Sometimes you may have multiple qualities at the same time. It depends on the Sorting Hat." Ron shrugged, "But I don't want to go into Slytherin even to death. My whole family is Glan." Fendo's, if I get sorted into Slytherin I might as well quit school right then and there and buy a train ticket home."

But in fact Ron's worries were unnecessary. When his name was called, he shouted "Gryffindor!" almost as soon as the sorting hat touched his fiery red hair. At the same time, Gryffindor Llanffindors Fred and George clapped their hands exaggeratedly and whistled.

Now only Dudley and Harry are left. Harry next to him seems very nervous. Dudley can hear him whispering "No Slytherin, no Slytherin..."

"It's okay, Harry." Dudley comforted Harry in a low voice, "I believe you fully meet the characteristics of Gryffindor, and the Sorting Hat will choose the house that suits that person. As long as you remain firm in your thoughts, I The Sorting Hat won't go against your wishes."

After hearing Dudley's words, Harry seemed less nervous. When Harry's name was called, the entire restaurant fell silent and sporadic whispers could be heard.

"Harry Potter?" "Is it the Boy-Who-Lived?" "The one who defeated You-Know-Who?" "I heard that he got into a fight with the Malfoy master as soon as he came in."...

Harry put on the Sorting Hat, and the dirty Sorting Hat immediately covered Harry's little head.

"Gryffindor!" Harry's choice took an unusually long time, but in the end the Sorting Hat gave the same answer as the original.Harry and Dudley were the only ones who breathed a sigh of relief. Although he comforted Harry just now, he was actually worried about whether his changes to the plot would have other negative effects.

"Dudley Dursley!"

Finally it was Dudley's turn. Dudley was a little nervous, but he was still relatively relieved.After all, he was born as a Muggle, so he basically ruled out the possibility of being sorted into Slytherin.

Among the remaining houses, it would be best to enter Gryffindor with the Harry trio; but it would also be good to choose Ravenclaw. After all, there will be cute little Luna enrolled next year. She is Dudley. One of my favorite female characters in the book; although Hufflepuff is a bit mediocre and has a low sense of presence, these are not bad things for a time traveler who wants to avoid changing the plot.

All in all, just firmly believe in going to Gryffindor in your heart. Maybe the Sorting Hat will make a choice based on this, just like Harry.Dudley thought to himself as he slowly put the dirty Sorting Hat on his head.

"Slytherin!" The loud voice resounded throughout the restaurant almost as soon as the Sorting Hat touched Dudley's head.
