The Slytherins reached an unprecedented consensus on the re-sorting of Damon White.
Eight of the twelve directors were alarmed. They received letters from friends from all sides, hoping to reconsider the re-sorting of Master White.
In the eyes of adults, the children's behavior is undoubtedly a "joke".
However, even if it is a joke, it can also play a role of a joke in the right occasion.
Many people who have not been in contact for a long time have re-established contact because of the request of the younger generation, and they are not without any ideas about this emerging and young master of Transfiguration.
But because of the high mountain of Dumbledore blocking them, they cannot cross it at will - this easy-going old man has already spread the word to the entire British magic world that he does not allow anyone to disturb Damon White's life.
Whether it is on campus or outside the campus.
And, no cross-border behavior will be forgiven!
This sentence from Dumbledore's mouth is already very important - in fact, since the old man refused the position of Minister of Magic, he has not appeared in public activities for a long time.
Everyone understood that Dumbledore was serious this time.
As for the young master who had achieved great success in Transfiguration in his first year, these people were a little hesitant - they could not befriend Damon for a short time, but they definitely did not want to offend him.
Now, the request of the younger generation might be a good opportunity to help them understand the character of the master from the side.
So, a matter that seemed like a joke in the eyes of adults was gradually submitted to Dumbledore under the push of the big hands behind the scenes.
Along with them were the core members of the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot.
Sorting is sacred, and re-sorting is unprecedented. Dumbledore was naturally unwilling to accept it, but at the same time, he was also very curious about Damon's thoughts.
If - if Damon wanted to be assigned to Slytherin, then
Dumbledore didn't know what he was thinking.
With mixed feelings, he asked Damon to come to his office on a sunny afternoon.
"Oh! Isn't this the youngest Transfiguration Master in history who is about to enter our Slytherin College!"
Damon had just walked into the headmaster's office, and Dumbledore hadn't spoken yet, but the former headmaster in the portrait, Phineas Black, had already cheered.
"Oh - please don't get close to me, I'm a Muggle-born child."
Damon waved his hand to show that he was not familiar with him.
Headmaster Black shouted again:
"How is this possible? A Muggle family can never cultivate a genius as smart as you. Child, your parents must be pure blood among pure blood!"
Damon smiled falsely and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
These old pure bloods are all sick in the brain, ignoring personal efforts and attributing all excellence to blood. Isn't this funny?
Dumbledore noticed Damon's attitude and asked with a smile:
"Still black tea?"
"Of course, thank you."
"What do you want for dessert?"
"Lemon cheese."
The old and the young communicated familiarly, as if there was no grudge between them and they were close.
"Headmaster, what do you want to talk to me about?"
After taking a sip of black tea, Damon was the first to ask.
He was very busy and didn't have much time to waste here.
"You look busy? Sorry, but I think I can't make a unilateral decision on this matter, so I should ask your opinion."
Dumbledore put down the teacup and said lightly:
"I heard an interesting saying recently.
You should have entered Slytherin College, but because of an accident, you thought Slytherin would not welcome you, so you refused the Sorting Hat's assignment and strongly requested to go to Gryffindor?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sorting Hat on the shelf suddenly opened its mouth and shouted:
"This is ridiculous, my assignment is absolutely correct! Although this kid is a natural Slytherin, it doesn't mean that he is not suitable for Gryffindor! No, he is definitely more suitable there!"
"Yes, I am a natural Gryffindor, and your assignment is absolutely correct."
Damon smiled at the Sorting Hat - this made it very satisfied, and it twisted its mouth and stopped talking.
"It seems that you have adapted well to Gryffindor."
Dumbledore nodded and continued:
"But I think that you have talent, and Slytherin may be more able to realize your ambitions. It is indeed a pity if all this is caused by a misunderstanding."
"The school board believes that it was a wrong sorting - since it is a mistake, it should be corrected, rather than just making a mistake because the rules have never been broken. What do you think?"
"I'll sit and watch." Damon's expression was calm, "I believe in the choice of the Sorting Hat, and I don't like Slytherin people either."
"Ridiculous! You are a natural Slytherin. Look at how indifferent you are to your place of belonging. Ignoring others is also one of the symbols of Slytherin!"
Principal Black in the portrait shouted again.
Damon ignored him. After understanding why Dumbledore called him, he wanted to leave.
It's also a pity that those little snakes thought of it. If you can't beat them, just join this set, right? Or let him join in the opposite direction, it's amazing.
"Professor, thank you for blocking the outside temptation for me. I really want to spend a peaceful campus life." Damon stood up and said goodbye. "If there is nothing else, I still have to finish my homework, so I'll leave first."
"Are you leaving now? It's rare for us to meet. Can you not be so anxious and sit down and chat with an old man like me for a while?"
Dumbledore's face showed loneliness, and he sighed:
"I don't know if it's because I'm getting old, but I always hope to spend more time with young people like you recently. This makes me feel younger."
Damon didn't expect Dumbledore to keep him, so he had to sit down again and said:
"I thought you were very busy and your time was precious. You don't have time to waste with a kid like me."
"Oh-although what you said is partially true, I think communicating with you is very meaningful."
Dumbledore looked at Damon with a smile, "There have been a lot of speculations about you from the outside world recently. They even dug up your growth experience. I didn't expect that you are also a celebrity in the Muggle world?"
"What celebrity? Why don't I know it myself."
"Damon White, a musical prodigy who walked out of an orphanage, could play complex piano pieces with his eyes closed at the age of six. He began touring the whole UK at the age of seven, with every show sold out.
In those three years, you once shone like a comet, but also fell as quickly as a comet.
When you were ten years old, you took the initiative to stop all activities and no longer appeared in the public eye. In fact, even I am very curious about what happened to you at that time?"
