Chapter 298 The Sorting Hat's Request
"Finished."
Andrew finished processing the last document and stretched with satisfaction.
Professor McGonagall will not return to school until tomorrow, and it is only nine in the morning. He has enough time to continue to hone his Legilimency skills.
The next step is to try to get started with Occlumency through the grasp of emotions. In theory, you should be able to get started soon, but I don’t know when it will be fully released.
But I have already made a lot of money - I don’t know how long I have saved.
'Very good, next...'
"Great, you're done!"
The voice of the Sorting Hat sounded.
“Yes, I’m done.”
Andrew nodded, wondering what unique ideas this school had at the moment - one thing to say, a legend has been discontinued for a long time, so we can't just take out a copy and let it be read now.
"That's great. You were busy working the other day so I couldn't disturb you." The Sorting Hat showed a rare politeness, but this made Andrew even more worried.
When you give courtesy to others, you must ask for something.
This hat has even been sorted by Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall. Although it doesn't like to move around very much, it definitely walks sideways when it moves - and this is a genuine Granite hat. Fendo's hat!
“It’s actually not that difficult, but I don’t really want them to know—Albus is currently reading some Muggle books, and he talks about how much progress he has made every day, you know that, right? ”
The Sorting Hat said something remarkable in a slightly shrill voice.
Inquire about the Headmaster's itinerary - Damn, this person is enough to administer veritaserum and inquire about the purpose, or the one approved by the Ministry of Magic.
"I don't care about this at all," Andrew shook his head extremely firmly, "Just tell me what to do, as long as I can do it."
"Okay... boring ," the hat shook the tip of his hat, "That's it, Muggle poetry and so on. I really haven't cared about it for a long time. After the secrecy law was implemented, the school library no longer has those things."
It can be seen that the Sorting Hat is a bit shy - also, writing a new long poem every year requires something fresh to enhance inspiration.
It couldn't go out to collect news. It was normal to want to get some reference poems after hearing Dumbledore talking about the development of the Muggle world.
"Okay, I will buy it as soon as possible, just poetry?"
"Just poetry," the Sorting Hat shook the tip of its hat, "Of course, some opera would also be good, I like that - by the way, remember to keep it a secret, I don't want Albus or Minerva to know."
"No problem"
But what about the headmasters on the wall? Won't they tell?
Andrew was very curious, but when he looked at the wall, the principals on the wall all had "I don't know what happened" expressions on their faces - as if they hadn't heard anything.
…
Andrew was silent for a while and figured it out - no one would say it, because there is no first among the principals on the wall, that is to say, all the principals are The Sorting Hat has seen and been sorted into classes...
'His...it's so scary. ’

"It's a good thing to return to school early. Well, don't be in a hurry. Let, yes, Potter go to the lounge of their college, ah, your office?"
Professor Binns floated a little and looked at Sirius, his tone was unhurried.
"This is a bit troublesome. You have to apply, but I suggest you go to the principal's office and ask directly. After all, it's not so formal, just agree verbally."
" "The principal's office?" Sirius breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't Professor McGonagall's. "Is Dumbledore on duty now?" "Yes, you can also use the invisible expansion to expand the room again. You should be able to use it." We applied together," Professor Binns said as he moved a piece of translucent paper on the table. "This is a book list. You go to the library to borrow it. You can use it for your study during this period. That's it. I'll come back later. Check the magic.”
As he spoke, he floated away, leaving behind a nervous Sirius and a carefree Harry.
"Let's go and apply."
Sirius carefully wrapped the book list and put it away - Professor Binns had something in this form that he didn't know how to make. A medium of communication, but it is too fragile in the hands of a wizard and can easily break.
"Fifth year and all advanced classes, Sirius!"
Harry felt a bit of admiration - his history of magic has always been on the verge of passing, although he didn't know exactly what it was. How awesome, but it does sound different.
"It's basically confirmed, but I still plan to use the previous teaching materials. We'll talk about it together this time. There will definitely be no problem with Professor Binns' choice."
Sirius nodded and pulled Harry toward the principal's office. Go - although it's okay for him to sleep in the office and Harry in the common room, it doesn't feel like home.
"This way, Harry."
While reciting the password (lemon ice cream), Sirius called Harry over, "Strange, this doesn't seem to be Hogsmeade. The candy bar by the side, any new flavors?”
But the stone statue did open, the doorbell rang, and there was a voice coming from inside.
"Please come in."
"Sorry, Professor Dumbledore, I returned to school early...ah? Classmate Andrew?"
Sirius was stunned, but his mood was relatively stable.
He should have paid enough, yes, and didn’t the ghost say that Taylor was unusually well-behaved?
“It’s me, I’m back to school during the holidays and working overtime.”
Andrew made himself look stable, not like he was discussing strange issues with the Sorting Hat in the office.
‘Back to school during the holidays and working overtime... Aren’t you doing odd jobs in Professor McGonagall’s office? ’
Sirius finally noticed something important - how can I level up even while doing odd jobs? Professor McGonagall's assistant upgraded to Dumbledore's office assistant?
Isn’t this an upsurge and a downfall?
But Andrew took the initiative to ask in order to break the slightly embarrassing situation.
"Do you have something to do with Professor Dumbledore? Sorry, the principal doesn't seem to be here. If it's a demand document, I can handle it, but it can't be too big."
Sirius suspected that his vacation might be related to magic. The world's communication is a little off - this isn't a promotion, this is Professor McGonagall finally kicking Dumbledore out of school!
Although the professors had been joking like this in private, when the day actually came, he still couldn't accept it.
“It’s just that, well, I plan to separate a small room in the office for Harry to live in, so I applied for the right to modify it.”
“But there is no suitable incognito extension now. Spell caster, the prefects are on vacation, I have basically no idea, you need to do the work yourself, Professor Black.”
He was not familiar with Sirius, so he could only continue to teach. Hagrid was fine - just call him professor to start, otherwise everyone would only be called professor. Think about it, chatting with teachers in the office , the teacher's content is as high as ten percent...
"No problem, I can do it."
Sirius nodded seriously, "That's it."
