Chapter 2973 () This is really an accident
What happened next, such as some of the precautions given by Professor McGonagall, the commotion and noise when teachers and students looked at the stage, and the song sung by the Sorting Hat, etc., Anne didn't pay attention to them at all, and even looked at them and felt annoyed.
Therefore, I won’t go into details here.
Anyway!
She just lined up at the end of the line, and watched helplessly the freshmen, Hermione and a certain fool and others were assigned to their respective colleges, until the last obedient boy was assigned.
After arriving at the college and crawling to the other college's seat, she was finally the only one left on the stage except Professor McGonagall and the Sorting Hat.
And there was no surprise. After seeing that her body shape and appearance were nothing like that of an eleven-year-old freshman, some students who had seen the Daily Prophet started discussing among themselves, and not long after, almost all the teachers present
All the students' eyes turned to her at the same time.
"..."
(▽)
In this regard, Anne did not have any stage fright. She hugged her little bear Tibbs so playfully, and then prepared to go over and sit on the chair and perform the final sorting ceremony.
Otherwise!
At this moment, Professor McGonagall did not rush to put the hat on her head, but looked towards the professors' seats.
And she followed the other person's gaze and saw exactly what she saw: that bad old man Dumbledore stood up at this time, and then exchanged a look with Professor McGonagall, who had a serious and complicated expression, and then raised his hands to signal.
said:
"Everyone!"
"Please be quiet..."
As he said that, he looked around the scene. After seeing that all the teachers and students had calmed down and looked at him, he continued speaking calmly:
"tonight!"
"I won't say anything stupid or crying..."
"And what I want to say is: Some people may have known about it in advance, and they should have seen it in the newspaper. There were also many people discussing it just now, right?"
"That's right!"
"We did have a small problem with Hogwarts' enrollment this year, but it's not a big problem. We just let one student come to school three years early, that's all."
"Believe me, it's not a big deal. Since the notice has been sent out, she is our student. As the principal, I will definitely not expel her."
"Anyway!"
"After discussions with some professors, I feel that the student is still a bit young, but in line with the ancient principles of magical contracts that must be observed and implemented, I plan to let him try to join our Hogwarts family.
"
"If it really doesn't work, maybe we can consider other options after a while?"
"And now!"
"Let us welcome our youngest student in the history of Hogwarts with the warmest applause——"
"Anne Hastur!"
Wow——!
Almost instantly, as Principal Albus Dumbledore's words fell, the entire auditorium began to boil, and then all the students and professors in the auditorium applauded.
Some students even stood up excitedly, cheered and shouted something encouraging towards Anne.
"..."
(˙˙)
And Anne was not stage frightened. She just stood up and raised the bear's paw in response and received more praise and applause. Then at the signal of Professor McGonagall, she returned to the chair and sat down.
And asked the other party to put on the ugly sorting hat with eyes and mouth on her.
'You know what?'
'That old man is a duplicitous fellow!'
'He originally told the professors that he wanted me to declare that you do not meet the conditions and standards for admission, and then let you play casually in the college for a few days before asking your family to take you back?'
'But I guess...'
"You're not going to like that, are you?"
As soon as she put on the Sorting Hat, the hat spoke to her in a strange and angry tone in Anne's mind, directly telling her the dark story that a certain bad old man was planning to do.
"..."

However, Anne remained calm and just urged the other party to hurry up.
'Yo ho!'
‘Not bad, not bad!’
'The psychological quality is very strong. I just thought that if I said that, you would definitely cry, but I didn't expect that you wouldn't be fooled...'
'good!'
'This alone makes you better than most freshmen!'
'If you weren't too young, I would really want to assign you to a certain academy immediately...'
Seeing Anne acting so calmly, the Sorting Hat started to chatter again.
"..."
Anne was already a little impatient at this time. However, being stared at by countless teachers and students and unable to speak out, she could only use her consciousness to negotiate and urge the other party again.
After all, if the other party continued to drag her, she would have to continue to sit here and be looked at like a monkey. It felt very bad and made her feel a little unhappy.
'Are you sure you really want to formally enroll in a certain college?'
'All right!'
'Then let me take a look first...'
'Your magic...'
‘Eh!’
'Why are you so strong?'
‘Huh?’
'Why is it gone again?'
'What's going on? Isn't your magic power stable enough?'
The other party started to spy on Annie's magic level, but unfortunately, it was easily blocked by Annie, so he was a little surprised.
'really!'
'I think we should comply with that bad old man's wishes and declare you unqualified?'
For a long time, the Sorting Hat, who didn't know why, thought about it for a while and was ready to announce a decision.
"..."
(*｀ー)
However, when she heard what the other party said, there was no surprise. The cute Annie's expression under the wide brim of her hat immediately turned fierce, and she glanced at the other party's hat brim with a threatening look.
And her meaning was already obvious. If the other party dared to behave like a monster at this time, it would be hard to say what would happen later.
To be honest, if she didn't want to expose her own strength, or if she didn't want her game to continue happily, I'm afraid she would have gone berserk and grabbed a ball of fire and viciously forced the other party to announce that she had joined a certain academy.
?

(;￢￢)
The difference with the Sorting Hat is that at this time, Tibbs in Anne's arms felt the change in the mood of his troubled little master. At the same time, he also 'heard' the words of the broken hat who was on the verge of committing suicide.
So, it couldn't help but cast an admiring look at the other party.
As we all know, its bad little master is famous for his petty and vindictive character, but now that the other party dares to do that, he can almost predict what will happen next.
'Okay, okay!'
'That……'
'Let me see, which college is suitable for you to go to?'
'You dare to come to Hogwarts at such a young age. You didn't have stage fright just now. I can see that you are very courageous...'
'However, judging from your performance, your intelligence and talent should be very good. Maybe you can consider Ravenclaw?'
'Let me see your specific thoughts...'
'Oh! Merlin!'
'I can't see anything?'
'What on earth is going on?'
'Little girl, have you ever learned Occlumency?'
'How can I assign you to a certain college if you are like this?'
However, after looking for a long time and not seeing any information at all, and even the surging magic power he felt before disappeared without a trace, the Sorting Hat was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do for a while.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The long silence and the long delay in announcing the result naturally made all the teachers and students present nervous and anxious. They stretched their necks and held their breaths to wait for the final result.
"..."
(*｀ー)
Seeing that the other party was still lingering, Anne had no choice but to once again send a clear idea and a vicious threat to the other party.
'oh!'
'Okay! Okay!'
'Then where do you want to go?'
'With that friend of yours, Hermione?'
'Then -'
"Gryffindor!!"
Finally, amid the cheers of Gryffindor students and the regretful voices of teachers and students from other houses, the Sorting Hat, who had been teasing and teasing Anne for a while, reluctantly announced the result.
, and then asked Anne to walk to the long table belonging to Gryffindor under the watch of all the teachers and students and the welcome of the Gryffindor students.
However……
Just then!
Just as Anne sat down and Professor McGonagall signaled her students to quiet down, what a coincidence, maybe it was because the cheers just now were too loud, or maybe it was for some other reason?
Anyway!
By coincidence, a big candle fell from the huge chandelier above the auditorium, and then it happened to fall on the Sorting Hat. Then under the hot wax and open flame, the Sorting Hat naturally fell
A high flame suddenly burst out.
"Wow-"
"I'm on fire! I'm on fire!"
"I'm on fire!"
For the first time, the Sorting Hat felt the heat wave and screamed loudly in panic.
"!!"
"No, it's not good!"
"The Sorting Hat is on fire!"
"Quickly put out the fire!"
Similarly, many students who saw the situation of the Sorting Hat also made noises and pointed in the direction of the stage and exclaimed.
"!!"
Clear water like a spring!
