?"

"this……"

Elena's mouth twitched and she swallowed.

This was completely different from her previous thoughts. In the original version, the script she had discussed with Professor McGonagall was to mix in the freshmen's branch, disguise it as an accident, put on a hat symbolically, and deal with it.

Just one click.

Instead of... delivering the certificate of nomination in such a clear-cut manner in front of everyone!

Elena glanced at Professor Sprout not far away from the corner of her eyes, took the Sorting Hat from Professor McGonagall with a headache, and rubbed the worn hat with a frown - if she had known that today, she would

I won't threaten the hat anymore.

There is no doubt that what the older cat lady did today was definitely a well-planned act of revenge.

If that's the case, then...

Elena sighed softly and put the sorting hat on her head with a determined expression.

"Hey, hat... let's cooperate, otherwise..."

While the girl was thinking this, the faces of Gellert Grindelwald, Newt Scamander, the members of the SCP Foundation, the scene of the gathering of saints, and the Hyperion in the high seas appeared in her mind.

Pictures of weapons being tested, Gringotts Goblins' thousands of years of war reserves, the appearance of mushroom clouds rising from the ground...

After the Sorting Hat was silent for at least dozens of seconds, there was a hint of vibrato in those familiar little voices.

"...Dear Queen, everything is subject to your will."

Sure enough, knowledge is the most precious wealth of mankind.

Facts have proved that a hat may not understand mathematics, but it can definitely understand art.

Elena raised the corners of her mouth slightly and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, then, read out the names of the four houses of Hogwarts in turn, and then... let's loop endlessly!"

"This..." The Sorting Hat twisted its body sadly.

"Come on! Until Professor McGonagall takes you off my head—"

"well……"

The Sorting Hat let out a reluctant sigh, and then, with everyone watching, he shouted like a broken jar.

"Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff..."
