Having said this, the hat became motionless again. Applause, mingled with whispers, resounded all round.
The students were all whispering to the people sitting next to them. The whole hall was buzzing. Elwyn knew what they were talking about.
What he did not expect was that the Sorting Hat had the same thoughts as him. Or did the four founders themselves have this kind of worry?
Artificially classifying the freshmen and affecting their future lives, was this really the right thing to do?
Elwyn felt that he could ask the four founders themselves. It was hard to say for others, but if he could get the time converter that the Titan mentioned, he would definitely go back a thousand years and meet Lady Ravenclaw again. When he met Lady Ravenclaw again, he wanted to get the key to the secret treasure from her.
Besides, Elwyn was also more concerned about the progress of her and Gryffindor. Did this sister-brother relationship have a result?
From the current situation, Gryffindor did not have any descendants, and Ravenclaw only had a daughter, Helena Ravenclaw.
Helena used her mother's surname, so no one knew who her father was.
It could be anyone. Although the possibility of Gryffindor was very high, there was no need to hide it. He should not have used Ravenclaw's surname either.
The Gryffindor family was a well-known pure-blood Wizard family. Even if they were not as prominent as the Ravenclaw family, they were not far behind.
This matter was full of doubts. Elwyn even wondered if Ravenclaw had a child with another Wizard, and then the child suddenly disappeared or died for some reason. This person's identity was particularly sensitive, and it was not convenient to announce it.
Gryffindor had to silently protect the mother and daughter, and never had a child …
Although the possibility of this was very small given Ravenclaw's status and strength, it was hard to say.
Elwyn felt that he should write this story down. It would definitely be popular as a novel.
Next to him, Harry, Ron and Hermione were discussing the Sorting Hat's warning.
"I've never seen that hat like this before." Harry said, feeling that it was different.
"This year is a bit off topic, isn't it?" Ron said, raising his eyebrows.
"That's right!"
Usually, the Sorting Hat only described the different qualities that the four schools of Hogwarts valued and the tasks it assigned to the students. No one could remember when it tried to give advice to the school. This had never happened before.
"I wonder if it ever gave a warning before?" Hermione said, her voice slightly uneasy.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Nick, who was almost headless, said knowingly. He looked at Hermione and looked at him. "The Sorting Hat feels that it has a moral obligation to give the school. It is the supervisor of Hogwarts, and represents the four Wizards. If it feels that it is necessary, it will give a warning to the school and remind everyone to be careful. "
"Oh, did such a thing really happen in history?" Hertz asked with keen interest.
"Yes. Although it hasn't happened many times, every time the Sorting Hat gives a warning, the school is in big trouble. I remember there was one eight centuries ago. Not long after I came to Hogwarts, the whole school was about to close down …"
"Silence!" He was interrupted by Professor Mag before he could finish his sentence.
She was waiting for the list of freshmen to be announced. She glared at the students who were whispering to each other with a very stern look.
Nick, who was almost headless, hurriedly pressed a transparent finger to his lips and sat up straight in a serious manner.
The buzz of discussion in the hall stopped abruptly. Everyone turned to Professor Meg.
Professor Meg frowned and glanced at the four tables again. Then she looked down at the long piece of parchment in her hand and said the first name loudly.
"Euan Abercrombie."
It was a little boy with two extraordinarily large ears. He was the most nervous one in the crowd just now.
He looked panicked. He stumbled forward and put the hat on his head.
Fortunately, his two extraordinarily large ears were stuck, so the hat did not fall off his shoulders.
The Sorting Hat considered for a moment. Then, the slit on the brim of the hat opened again and announced loudly, "Gryffindor!"
Gryffindor's classmates applauded enthusiastically. As Fred and George stood up to welcome him, Euan staggered to their table and sat down. Judging from his expression, he looked like he wished there was a hole in the ground for him to crawl into and no one would stare at him anymore.
"Ron, as the Prefects, we should let the freshmen sit next to us so that we can guide them more conveniently." Hermione said hurriedly. She just remembered this. She stared at the frightened children. "You too, Elwyn. The President of the Student Union must set an example."
Slowly, the long line of freshmen shortened bit by bit.
Under Hermione's insistence, Elwyn and Ron had no choice but to let a few freshmen who were assigned to Gryffindor sit next to them.
Next to Elwyn was a little girl named Kate. She had short blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She was very cute, but she was too shy. She blushed whenever she spoke.
She seemed to have never thought that she would be sitting next to a big shot like the President of the Student Union the moment she entered the school. She was so excited that she almost suffocated.
At the long table, the other freshmen who had just been assigned to Gryffindor all looked at Kate enviously.
The little girl was extremely nervous. She answered Elwyn's questions honestly and cooperatively …
From Elwyn's conversation, I knew that Kate was also from a Muggle family.
She didn't know much about the magic world. She listened to Elwyn's introduction of the school with an expression of admiration.
In the middle of the auditorium, Professor Meg kept reading out the names of the students. There seemed to be more students this year than in previous years. Everyone was so hungry that they were growling.
In the end, Ross Zeller was assigned to Hufflepuff.
Professor Meg picked up his hat and stool and strode away. At this moment, Professor Dumbledore stood up.
"Welcome, our freshmen!" Dumbledore said in a loud voice. He opened his arms and a bright smile bloomed on his lips. "Welcome! Welcome, our seniors. Welcome back! There's plenty of time for speeches, but not now. Eat to your heart's content! "
The auditorium was filled with appreciative laughter and enthusiastic applause. Dumbledore sat upright.
He flung his long beard over his shoulder, not letting it obstruct his plate.
Everyone looked at the table expectantly. Delicious food suddenly fell from the sky. The five long tables were suddenly piled with large pieces of beef, pies, plates of vegetables, bread, jam, and jugs of pumpkin juice, groaning from the heavy rain.
Elwyn heard Kate, who was beside him, exclaim in a low voice. She looked at the food in disbelief.
"Senior Elwyn, how did you make all this food?" she asked in surprise. "Did you use magic?"
"Not exactly. You still have to make the food yourself. The house-elves in the kitchen first cook them, then put them on the corresponding long table downstairs. Then, they use a transfer spell or something to send them up …" Elwyn suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.
