Chapter 23: Feishi's Sorting Ceremony

One after another, freshmen stepped forward to put on the sorting hat and were then sorted into different houses.

But all this has nothing to do with Fish. He is lying contentedly at Professor McGonagall's feet in the form of a cat. He is taking a nap with his eyes squinted. He shakes his ears and flicks his tail from time to time. He looks very comfortable. .

As for the tattered Sorting Hat, Fish certainly didn't give up, but after trying just now, it was clear that he was not yet capable of snatching the hat away under Minerva's care, so Fish planned to find another way.

Now, I can only obey temporarily.

Cats are very patient when hunting.

Raising his eyes and glancing at the Sorting Hat that was assigning houses to other young wizards, Fish continued to lie quietly at Professor McGonagall's feet, but his tail behind his butt was wagging restlessly.

Professor McGonagall's eyes lingered on Fish's tail for a moment, knowing that the little guy had not given up yet, but now was not the time to educate him. She withdrew her gaze and continued to call the name on the parchment.

Harry Potter looked at Fisher with great envy as he looked at Professor McGonagall's feet as if nothing had happened. As time passed, a series of unnecessary worries arose in his heart.

What if they make a mistake? Maybe he is not a wizard, or his talent as a wizard is very poor. None of the four colleges are going to accept him. In the end, the Sorting Hat will send him back...

Such messy thoughts were swirling in Harry Potter's mind, making him so nervous that he wanted to retch.

However, Harry completely forgot about their special reactions when he met other wizards, and the magical effects that occurred when he held his own wand.

"Draco Malfoy!"

Amidst Harry's nervousness and Fish's leisure, they finally came to the surname starting with M. Malfoy walked to the four-legged stool and picked up the sorting hat. Almost as soon as it touched his head, the sorting hat came to him. Screaming: "Slytherin!"

Malfoy put down the Sorting Hat with a satisfied look on his face and walked towards the long table belonging to Slytherin.

Immediately afterwards, Professor McGonagall knelt down and gently patted Fish, who was still sleeping soundly at his feet.

"Fish Mag!"

"Meow?"

Fish raised his head and looked at Professor McGonagall with a confused expression. He didn't listen carefully to the Sorting Hat's song just now.

"It's your turn, go put on the Sorting Hat!"

Professor McGonagall pointed to the hat on the four-legged stool and said to Fish.

"Meow!"

Fish immediately jumped up from the floor, turned into a human, and asked excitedly: "Are you going to give me this hat?!"

"No! I just want you to wear it! Don't make trouble for me again!"

"Ugh, it's so boring..." Fish curled his lips and walked over to pick up the Sorting Hat. However, he didn't put it on his head in a hurry. Instead, he opened the slit in the Sorting Hat's mouth and stretched his head to look inside. , "You have no teeth, how are you going to eat?"

"I'm just a hat and don't need to eat."

Even though his "mouth" was opened, it still did not affect the Sorting Hat's speech.

"Really? That's pathetic for you."

Fish shook his head. In his opinion, it was really miserable not being able to eat.

"Put your hat on quickly!"

Professor McGonagall, who was worried that Fish would cause trouble again, urged loudly.

However, Fish did not obey. He put the Sorting Hat back on the four-legged stool with the top of the hat facing up, then jumped towards the Sorting Hat, turned into a kitten and got into the hat.

"Snoring——"

Fish adjusted his body inside the Sorting Hat and purred with satisfaction. He was now more determined to get the hat.

"Hey! Little one! I'm not a cat's nest!"

The Sorting Hat, who was pinned down by Fish, complained angrily.

Of course, Fish ignored it.

"Meow!"

Fish, who was comfortably nestled, felt the back of his neck tighten, and then he was lifted up. Then Minerva's stern face appeared in front of him.

"Meow~"

Fish didn't dare to make Professor McGonagall angry anymore, so he twisted his body, transformed into his human form and fell to the ground.

Then without Professor McGonagall's instructions, he picked up the Sorting Hat next to him, slapped it on his head, and sat down on the four-legged stool.

The huge hat covered half of Fei Xu's head, and then a small voice came: "Let me take a look..."

"Extraordinary courage... There is no doubt about it. No young wizard has ever dared to snatch me away from a group of professors like you during the sorting ceremony. At the same time, he also took into account caution and strong desire. Curiosity and talent are not weak, you are proud from the heart, and you are good at using your own advantages, and you can do whatever it takes when necessary... Interesting, very interesting... So where should I assign you? "

"Meow? Isn't it up to me to choose which college I want to go to?"

Feishu didn't think too much and asked loudly.

"Of course, Hogwarts respects the individual wishes of students. My words are only for reference. So, do you have a favorite college?"

The Sorting Hat continued to speak in Fish's ear in a small voice that no one else could hear.

"Except for the big cat with a lot of hair next to its head, I'm quite interested in all the other colleges, nya."

Fish continued to answer carelessly, and did not see Professor McGonagall behind him, whose face darkened instantly after hearing his words.

"Are you sure?" The Sorting Hat simply opened his voice and chatted with Fish, "You know, Professor McGonagall is the head of Gryffindor."

"But..." Fish frowned and said reluctantly: "That big cat can't even climb a tree, it feels stupid."

At the beginning, through the strange box called a TV, Fish saw many different types of his kind, among which the lion was the most useless at climbing trees, so he didn't think much of this big cat.

Now, all the Gryffindor students' faces turned black, while the Slytherin students were all smiling.

Fish continued to point at the Gryffindor flag and said, "I prefer the big cats with spots on their bodies. They are much more agile than this big cat."

"Uh..." The Sorting Hat probably heard such a pure and elegant reason for the first time, "Well, which of the remaining three colleges do you prefer?"

"Let's rule out the big rat first," Fish tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "There is a big rat that looks very similar to it, and its farts are very smelly."

After Gryffindor, Professor Sprout and Hufflepuff students also changed their faces.

However, Fish, whose vision was blocked by the hat, did not see it, and even if he saw it, he would not take it to heart.

"Snakes and birds are both good," Fish licked his lips and said, "I like to eat them, and it is very challenging to hunt them."

Now even the professors and students of the other two colleges couldn't hold back.

"Wait!" The Sorting Hat finally realized, "So you like these three colleges because you like to eat their representative animals?!"

"Yes," Fish answered confidently, "Don't restaurants outside all use the food they sell as signs to hang up?"

Fisch felt that he understood correctly.

"Hogwarts is not a restaurant," the Sorting Hat felt that he needed to let the little wizard understand the situation, "These representative animals are a kind of honor for the four colleges."

"A stupid cat who can't climb trees and three kinds of food... What's so glorious about this?"

Fisch muttered in a voice that everyone in the hall could hear.

"Well... Although you have offended everyone in the four colleges, you still have to choose one."

The Sorting Hat felt that if the conversation continued, no college would be willing to accept this little guy, so it ended the topic decisively and urged him.

"Meow?... Then the big cat is fine, at least it's not on my menu."

Fisch thought for a moment, and finally said reluctantly that compared to joining the food camp, the lion is at least half of the same kind... although it's a little stupid.

"Then - Gryffindor!"

In fact, I considered letting Fish go to Eagle House, because curiosity is also a characteristic of cats, but in the end I chose Lion House, the reason is as Fish said, it is impossible to go to a house with food as its symbol.

...

Not to mention other aspects, just from the skill of climbing trees, lions are indeed a relatively poor branch of cats.

Of course, poor is compared with other cats. Lions are really good at climbing trees. Anyway, it is impossible to rely on trees to avoid lions' pursuit.
