Chapter 10: The Gryffindor Sword? It's Not Magic At All!
Everyone in the faculty chair looked at each other in blank dismay. There was already an uproar at the four long tables below. Snape looked directly at Dumbledore with a grim expression. "Is this what you mean by kindness?"
Dumbledore pushed his glasses and stood up. This was probably the first time something like this had happened since the establishment of the school. A young wizard who just entered school was assigned to Azkaban? As the principal, he had to stand up to preside over the overall situation and maintain order.
"Quiet!" he commanded, amplifying his voice with magic to drown out the noisy discussions of the little wizards below. Then Dumbledore turned to look at Kyle. "Kyle, I think you need to…"
Dumbledore initially intended to ask why the Sorting Hat would sort Kyle into Azkaban, but he was interrupted. Kyle suddenly pulled the hat off his head and held it in his hands. "Principal, I want to sue!" he exclaimed. "You sorted us with some old hats. It's not fair! I'm such a kind little wizard, and it actually assigned me to Azkaban! It took a huge toll on my young mind. Compensation, the school must compensate me!"
Everyone froze, taken aback by Kyle's angry expression, and Dumbledore felt at a loss, rubbing his forehead. "Well, didn't I come to ask you? How did you sue?" Dumbledore thought. "This sorting hat has a history of more than a thousand years, and it has never made a mistake…"
"What? Over a thousand years?" Kyle interrupted. "Professor, is there a warranty for this sorting hat? Is there annual routine maintenance and inspection?" With those words, Kyle immediately showed an incredulous expression.
Dumbledore was bewildered. It looked so reasonable! Clearing his throat, he said, "Ahem, I think it's a misunderstanding." Whatever he wanted to say before was forgotten. "Okay, boy, now put on the sorting hat again, and we'll do it all over again."
"All right," Kyle agreed, deciding not to push further this time, even though he was disappointed that no treasure chest above diamonds was revealed. He picked up the Sorting Hat and suddenly felt something was wrong. There seemed to be something inside it.
With the thought of exploring, Kyle put his hand into the Sorting Hat. A moment later, he withdrew a sword studded with rubies. The cold light flickered off its polished surface. Engraved on the sword was the name of Godric Gryffindor.
"My God, what is that?" someone exclaimed.
"A sword, there is actually a sword hidden in the Sorting Hat." The young wizards who had just entered the season were directly frightened. They had just put hats on their heads!
Dumbledore and the professors who knew the origin of the sword were also stunned. If the Sorting Hat had yelled "Azkaban" just now, it would have been a magnitude 8 earthquake. It's level 12 now! No, grade 18! Gryffindor's sword!
In the legends circulating at Hogwarts, only those with good intentions and courage can pull it out. But a little wizard who was directly assigned by the Sorting Hat to Azkaban pulled it out? It's not magic at all! The Sorting Hat is also confused! Oops! I was terrified just now and didn't get caught...
"Professor?" Kyle frowned. He recognized the origin of the sword. Hahaha! Let's see who dares to say that he is not a kind little wizard in the future. "Son, I think it is destiny that since you have drawn Gryffindor's sword, it is yours. I hope you can make good use of it."
Dumbledore looked relieved. Sure enough, his vision is still very accurate. Kyle is a kid with good intentions. Gryffindor House will soon have a new member. Maybe it will help his savior training plan. "There are still a lot of people waiting behind, my child, let's get sorted." After speaking, Dumbledore returned to the teaching desk and sat down with a smile.
Snape breathed a sigh of relief when no one else was looking. Very good! It looks like this Kyle is going to Gryffindor Academy. With this blood demon around, Slytherin's House Cup will be back for another year.
"Okay, Professor!" Kyle put the hat on his head. "Slytherin!" The Sorting Hat yelled without thinking too much. Whatever the Gryffindor sword, such an evil man... Slytherin! Must go to Slytherin Academy.
Dumbledore: "???" Snape: "???"
No, assigning a young wizard who drew a Gryffindor sword to Slytherin House—isn't this too hasty?
