Professor Meg brought Hermione back to the school hospital. Elwyn walked into Dumbledore's office alone.
Just like last year, the headmaster's office was very interesting. Fawkes looked at him warmly. The table not far away was filled with magic props of unknown use. The round silverware spun and puffed out small puffs of smoke.
Before entering, Elwyn had heard chatter in the room. They were discussing what had happened that night. Elwyn thought it was Dumbledore and Fawkes, but when he entered, he found that there was no one in the office.
The people who had spoken were the portraits of the wizards and wizards on the surrounding walls. They were the headmasters of Hogwarts.
It was a pity that Elwyn did not see the portraits of the four creators. Otherwise, he could ask Gryffindor about his treasure key, the legendary magic item hidden in the centaur tribe in the forbidden forest.
The portraits were sleeping soundly, but Elwyn saw some of them occasionally open their eyes and glance at him. Then, they immediately closed their eyes, afraid that he would find out.
Elwyn did not care about them. He saw the tattered and wrinkled Sorting Hat on the table.
He hesitated for a moment. He had always had a question in his heart that he wanted to ask. This was a rare opportunity.
Elwyn walked over, picked up the hat, and put it on his head.
The large hat slowly slid down and covered his eyes, just like the first time he wore it.
"Long time no see, Elwyn Mason!" A sharp voice whispered. "You seem to have something on your mind?"
"Yes, there are some things I don't understand. I'm very curious about the Sorting Ceremony. Why would Peter be …"
"He will be assigned to Gryffindor, right?!" The hat said softly, "My duty is to assign the young wizards to the appropriate academies according to the wishes of the four founders. In the past thousand years, I've seen far too many young Warlocks. Some of them are kindhearted, some of them are ambitious, some of them are talented, and some of them are not. But you should know that in the Splitting Ceremony, other than those innate qualities, each person's choice is also an important factor. "
"So, Peter himself requested to enter Gryffindor?"
"That child wishes to go to Gryffindor and find the courage that he never had." "But in reality, he doesn't need to search for it at all. Courage has always been buried in the depths of his heart. When he is able to lower his head and look into his heart, he will find what he has always been searching for."
"But he didn't do that. What he did afterwards was far different from Gryffindor."
"Don't doubt me. I won't make a mistake. The magic of the four founders allows me to see through a person's heart. My duty is to assign the right person to the right academy, "the hat said cleverly. "But I can't guarantee that the academy will be suitable for him, and I can't guarantee that he won't take the wrong path in the future."
"What about me?" Elwyn asked hurriedly. "You didn't even ask for my opinion at that time. You should know that I originally planned to enter Ravenclaw, but you assigned me to Gryffindor."
"Is that really the case? Is that really what your heart truly wants?" The hat laughed. "Yes, just like Harry and Potter, the positions of the two of you are particularly difficult to place. But I still say, I won't make a mistake. Gryffindor can help you achieve your dreams."
Elwyn was stunned. What was his dream? To learn more magic? To defeat Lord Voldemort? Or to become a great light wizard like Dumbledore?
Elwyn was confused. He wanted to say a few more words, but he heard someone walk in. He quickly took off the hat and put it back in place.
The office door opened, and Dumbledore walked in with a solemn expression.
"Professor!"
"Sit down, Elwyn!" Dumbledore pointed at the chair in front of the desk. "I need to talk to you, but I have to make it short. I don't have much time. Cornelius is still waiting for me in the hall. We have to rush to the Ministry of Magic overnight to deal with the werewolf riot and Remus's accusations."
Elwyn sat down, and his mind naturally recalled the steps to use Cerebral Occlusion.
"First, I have to ask you, Elwyn. Is there anything you'd like to tell me?" Dumbledore looked at Elwyn carefully, and his ten slender fingers touched. He said gently, "Anything!"
"I do have something to talk to you about, Professor!" Elwyn nodded and said slowly, "But before that, please allow me to ask you a question. Did you notice that Ron was being controlled?"
"Obviously. I believe that I wasn't the only one who noticed Mr. Weasley's abnormality in the office on the third floor." Dumbledore said gently, "What he did tonight was too obvious. It was as obvious as a candle in the dark!"
"So, you also know who controlled Ron?"
"Although many people think that I know everything, I'm not omniscient like the rumors say!" Dumbledore sat on the high-back chair behind the desk. He stared at Elwyn with his light blue, penetrating eyes. "About this matter, I have some thoughts, but I still want to hear your opinion!"
"I suspect that Peter Pettigrew controlled Ron!" Elwyn looked away, trying not to look at Dumbledore.
Although he was prepared to tell the other party some things, he did not want to reveal all the information in his mind.
"Peter Pettigrew, what a surprising answer."
Although he said that, Dumbledore did not seem surprised, as if everything was within his expectations.
"This afternoon, Hermione and I met Sirius Black at Hogsmeade. He told us that Peter Pettigrew betrayed Harry's parents to Lord Voldemort. He did not die, he is an Animagus, and he is now Ron's pet mouse, Scabby."
"Animagus?! This is important information! " Dumbledore closed his eyes and pondered. "Elwyn, your information has verified my guess. To be honest, I did not pay too much attention to Peter Pettigrew. This is my fault. I could have prevented this child from going to this stage."
