No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 838 The Sorting Hat Without a Bath

Professor McGonagall didn't even bother to look at the hat, and took a few steps forward, holding a roll of parchment in her hand.

"Whoever's name I call now will put on his hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the sorting." She said, "Hannah Abbott!"

Ou Mengmeng looked carefully and saw a ruddy-faced little girl with two golden braids stumbling out of the queue and putting on a hat that just covered her eyes. She sat down. There was a pause -

"Hufflepuff!" shouted the Hat.

Very good and cute, Neville's little bride is mainly a strong woman. Later, she bought the Leaky Axe pub. From then on, Neville lived at the gate of Diagon Alley. He was simply the gatekeeper of the wizarding world. How cool.

The names were called out one by one, and finally the name starting with F came up.

"Justin Finch-Fletchley!"

"Hufflepuff!"

"Petunia Foster," Professor McGonagall's voice softened and she turned back to watch her little girl walk out of the line.

Ou Mengmeng sat down and saw Professor McGonagall was about to put a hat on her. She immediately sprayed alcohol on her hair and closed her eyes.

"Little girl, do you dislike me?" The Sorting Hat was annoyed.

"I really, really dislike it." Ou Mengmeng said bluntly.

"Your ruthlessness can be assigned to Si..."

"Gryffindor, thank you." Ou Mengmeng didn't want to listen to its nonsense at all.

"You really are just brainless courage!" The Sorting Hat was so angry that it stood up straight and shouted to the people below, "Gryffindor!"

The Weasley family members below applauded enthusiastically. They didn't think that "Little Petunia" would be assigned anywhere else.

Professor McGonagall was very happy, and she didn't think her dear "little Petunia" would go to another house. She was about to call the next one, and Ou Mengmeng left the stool, but looked at the Sorting Hat, raised her head to Dumbledore, and raised her hand. She was a good child, she had to raise her hand before asking questions and get permission.

"Ms. Foster, is there something wrong?" Could Old Dunn say no? He was also an educator, so he couldn't stop people from talking.

"Excuse me, who is responsible for maintaining this hat?" Ou Mengmeng pointed at the tattered hat.

"Maintenance?" The teachers were stunned for a moment. This is a magic item, why does it need maintenance? No, magic items do need maintenance, but they never thought that this also needs maintenance. "Please maintain it once a year for the physical and mental health of the students and the hat, otherwise, everyone will think that the Gryffindor elder is a dirty tramp! It will affect the reputation of our Gryffindor school." Ou Mengmeng clenched her fist firmly. The point is that she is not doing this for herself, but for the reputation of Gryffindor.

Everyone looked at Principal Deng and said, yes, this seems to be correct.

"Ms. Foster, how do you know this is Godric's hat?" Dumbledore knew how to get to the point. He was sure that they didn't say it just now.

Ou Mengmeng looked up at the sky. "I had the honor of reading "Hogwarts: A History" in a second-hand bookstore. The original owner of this hat was Godric Gryffindor. The four founders later added their own wills to the hat, and it became today's Sorting Hat. Because of this, shouldn't this hat be better protected? The school was founded in 998 AD, and it has been nearly a thousand years since then. Countless children have touched it..."

Ou Mengmeng got goosebumps from what she said, and she sprayed alcohol on herself again. She didn't have mysophobia, but at this moment, she really felt uncomfortable all over. A hat that hadn't been washed for a thousand years, she felt like she couldn't breathe.

The children before him burst into tears, all of them feeling that they were no longer clean and had no desire to live. Then the seniors before him began to reflect on why they had not thought of this problem back then. Moreover, a belated pain struck their hearts.

Hat brother thought about it and looked back at Dumbledore, "Why don't you help me take a bath?"

Everyone was silent. Yes, this is an interesting question. Why?

What to do now? The sorting ceremony had to continue, so Professor McGonagall found a piece of cloth to wrap the hat and asked everyone to sort quickly. So this might be the most sloppy sorting in history. Maybe everyone had been very fast before, and no one wanted to talk to the sorting hat, and just wanted to stay away from it. So except for the applause from the students who were sorted into the house, the hall was a bit dull. Finally, it was Harry's turn.

"Harry Potter!" Professor McGonagall looked at the list and called his name.

Harry was a little nervous before, not because of the roll call, but because of the attention of so many people. After the Sorting Hat gave him a bath, he felt much better. He sat down on the chair calmly and said, "Slyklin, thank you!" without waiting for the hat to speak.

"Okay, Slyklin!" The hat didn't act pretentiously and just yelled out. Because it was also in a hurry to take a bath. It was a thoughtful hat, so how could it be greasy?

After Ou Mengmeng sat down, she kept looking at Professor Quirrell, who was wearing a turban on his head, and Professor Snape, who was sitting next to her with a good temper. Professor Snape was obviously more concerned about his students. Of course, when he saw that she was looking at him, Professor Snape still smiled at her, even though she had become a little troll of Gryffindor.

When waiting for Harry Potter to be called, Professor Snape's eyes were indeed attracted to him. Then, when he knew that the child was admitted to Slyklin, he was stunned. Dumbledore and McGonagall were also stunned. How could two children born in Gryffindor go to Slyklin? But the Sorting Hat has never made mistakes over the years, and they said that the hat should not listen to them. The main thing is that the hat called him Slyklin as soon as it touched him, without any discussion, which shows that this child has the potential to be a Slyklin.

Then the three of them stared in amazement as Harry rushed towards Draco, who pushed aside the children beside him to make room for Harry. Of course, the achievement-seeking Slytherin was overjoyed to have his savior. Everyone extended a friendly hand to Harry Potter.

Ou Mengmeng smiled, very good, this is the advantage of a true villain, a true villain will see your value at the first time and then make full use of it. Hypocrites, for fear of being misunderstood, do things secretly, which makes them feel a little moved, but others really can't be moved.

Hermione also breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Ou Mengmeng, "Honey, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry... No, you should give me some water first, I'm really thirsty."

Ou Mengmeng took out the bottled juice from her dragon skin bag and used the levitation spell to send two bottles to Draco and Harry. They had a snack before going out. It was normal to be thirsty at this time.

Have you ever seen a game ad, where a woman takes care of a child in a shabby house, not paying attention to anything, and you get anxious, click on it, and then it's all different? The point is not that the product is not what it says, but, I suddenly thought, what would happen if our principal entered this game world. By the way, I saw you mentioned the Legend of the White Snake and the world of Conan. Sisters, if the Legend of the White Snake goes in, with the principal's character, let her repay the favor? I'm afraid the Xu family will think he's seeking revenge. As for Conan, is he fighting against the man in black, or is he a person who attracts crime? What? Who do you think the principal is dressed as?
