“Yes,” Hermione nodded affirmatively, “Canberra, where do you want to go?” “Me?
I’m fine with anything,” Canberra shrugged indifferently, “Or, if you get sorted into Gryffindor, I can go to Gryffindor with you.” Hermione’s heart fluttered as she listened to Canberra’s words.
She was truly tempted.
After all, this way she would always have a friend by her side, and it was the Kaiju she was most interested in!
But no, Canberra should go to the House she liked, the one that suited her.
“You can’t, Canberra,” Hermione resisted her temptation and shook her head, “You should go to the House that suits you best, or the one you want to go to the most.” “You can’t let me decide your choice.” Canberra waved her tentacles indifferently, “It’s fine, anyway, I only came to this school because I knew you, Little Cub, were here.” “Let’s see later, where you get sorted, and what that hat says to me.” “Mm!” Hermione nodded vigorously.
“Now, the student whose name I call will come up for Sorting.
Hannah Abbott.” Professor McGonagall announced loudly, looking at the list in her hand.
A girl with a somewhat chubby face ran up to the staff table.
Hannah sat on the chair, and Professor McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat on her.
Soon after, the Sorting Hat shouted loudly, “Hufflepuff!” Applause immediately erupted at the Hufflepuff table, and Hannah ran over, her face beaming with joy.
Professor McGonagall watched Hannah sit at the Hufflepuff table, then immediately continued to call out names from the list.
No matter which House the first-years were sorted into, that House would erupt in enthusiastic applause to welcome them.
Until Professor McGonagall called out a name, “Hermione Granger.” Hermione took a deep breath and walked towards the staff table, muttering to herself to stay calm.
Canberra also quietly said from behind, “Relax, Little Cub.” Watching Hermione sit on the chair, Canberra pondered for a moment what would happen if Hermione didn’t get into the House she wanted.
Would threatening the Sorting Hat work?
It probably would…
This guy seems pretty smart.
“Gryffindor!” The Sorting Hat shouted out the final result.
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, took off the hat, and walked to the Gryffindor table with a radiant smile amidst the applause, taking a seat.
After sitting down, she gave Canberra an encouraging look, though she felt Canberra probably didn’t need it much.
The subsequent Sorting proceeded uneventfully, with only Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, causing cheers from the Gryffindors when he was sorted into their House.
And Ron Weasley, his friend from the train, was thrown into Gryffindor by the Sorting Hat, just like his brothers.
It even just sighed, saying “Another Weasley,” and directly sent Ron to Gryffindor.
Draco Malfoy, who Canberra had put on her troublemaker list, was in the same situation.
The moment the Sorting Hat touched his hair, it immediately shouted out Slytherin.
The order of Sorting was by the first letter of the surname, so Canberra, who had no surname, was placed last.
“Canberra.” Hearing her name, Canberra, who had been waiting for a long time, walked steadily towards the staff table under the gaze of all the Little Wizards and Professors.
She also, following human etiquette, offered a gentle smile to the Professors, including Professor McGonagall, and Headmaster Dumbledore.
She appeared polite and well-behaved, a good child.
However, her next action immediately shattered everyone’s perception.
After Canberra received the Sorting Hat, she didn’t even put it on, but directly asked it.
“Can you sort me directly?
I want to be in the same House as Little Cub.” “Oh, I’m afraid not, Little Wizard.
That doesn’t follow the rules.
You must wear me.
I’ll see which House suits you, and then make a decision.” “Hmm…
alright.” Canberra thought that although she was a Kaiju, in the human world, she had to be reasonable, so she still put on the Sorting Hat.
“Alright, let me look into your little brain…” Once placed on her head, the Sorting Hat began to examine Canberra’s past and her personality traits, as it had done countless times before.
The result was, you don’t know until you look, and once you look, you’re startled.
The magnificent and magical Hollow Earth, the enormous colorful giant egg, and the Kaiju that hatched from the egg.
The moment Canberra’s true form was “seen” by the Sorting Hat, a terrified scream erupted from its mouth.
“Hogwarts!
What have you let in?!” The Sorting Hat’s scream was jarring to Canberra, whose hearing was acute.
Her face twisted slightly, and she immediately took off the hat.
“Mr.
Sorting Hat?
My hearing is very sensitive.
Could you please not shout?
It’s too noisy.” Canberra looked at the Sorting Hat disapprovingly.
The Sorting Hat reacted, instantly closing its mouth.
Nodding in satisfaction, Canberra put it back on.
“Merlin above, I can’t believe you were admitted.
Merlin, how dare Hogwarts…
But then again, will what you learn here really be useful?” Canberra pouted, “I’ve taught myself some magic, and it’s quite useful.
The main thing is, I’m here to accompany Little Cub to school.” “Oh!
The Little Cub you’re talking about is that child named Hermione, right?” Realizing that Canberra’s personality was quite good, and the beast was also somewhat polite, the Sorting Hat’s fear instantly dissipated.
No matter what, Hogwarts had admitted her, so she was a child of Hogwarts now.
This was unchangeable.
“Hmm…
Let me think.
You’re gentle, you always avoid those other creatures called Kaijus, you’re a bit greedy, and you came to Hogwarts for a friend, to whom you are incredibly sincere.” “Then I think you should go to, Hufflepuff!” A loud shout rang out.
The Little Badgers, who had been stunned by the Sorting Hat’s terrified scream, immediately reacted, reflexively applauding enthusiastically.
No matter what, if they were sorted into Hufflepuff, they were family, so they definitely had to applaud their own.
It’s a pity she’s not in the same House as Little Cub.
She still wanted to accompany Little Cub.
Canberra’s eyes darted around, “Mr.
Sorting Hat, can I have both Houses?” “You certainly give me a challenge, Miss Canberra, but according to Hogwarts rules, that’s not allowed either.” “Alright…” Canberra clicked her tongue, took off the Sorting Hat, and handed it to Professor McGonagall beside her.
As she handed it over, she mumbled, “It doesn’t matter anyway.
At most, it’s just a few walls.
I’ll just need to tear down the walls to see Hermione every day.
Hmm, I need to go back to the seabed a few more times to find some large pearls to pay for Hogwarts’ walls.” Professor McGonagall, who had just taken the Sorting Hat and was about to tell Canberra to go sit at the Hufflepuff table, heard her words and her pupils constricted sharply.
She just said she was going to tear down, tear down what?!
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
