Rubik’s Cube of Heavens

Because of Professor Snape’s words, the entire office became quiet again in the principal’s office, and the atmosphere became even more gloomy.

After a while, Professor Sprout spoke with some deliberation, and he said in a low voice, “But… that child Coven is different from that person.”

“How is it different?” Professor Snape still hadn’t calmed down. He immediately said, “Does he look different? Or is his age different?”

“No, I mean…” Professor Sprout waved his hand and turned to look at Professor McGonagall. “At least, little Coven is a Gryffindor, not a Slytherin. Sorry, Severus, I didn’t mean that…”

Snape, who was also Slytherin, shook his head slightly to show that he didn’t care, but he retorted, “Other houses have also produced many scum. Perhaps, with Gryffindor’s background, it can perfectly cover his ‘uneven’.”

At this time, Flitwick turned his head to look at a display cabinet in the office. Inside the cabinet, Sorting Hat was quietly displayed.

After hesitating, Professor Flitwick opened his mouth and said in a tangled tone, “I have something to say… Of course, I still believe in Little Coven.”

“Filius, please speak.” Dumbledore said softly.

“About the sorting.” Professor Flitwick said hesitantly, “In fact, Little Coven’s quality is suitable for all Houses, but in the end, Little Coven decided to go to Gryffindor.”

Then, Professor Flitwick told him about what he had asked Sorting Hat about Coven’s sorting.

Everyone was shocked after hearing this.

“Do you understand?” Professor Snape was even more excited. “He is also a Slytherin!”

“Alright, Severus!” Professor McGonagall finally couldn’t help but open her mouth. She frowned and said, “Don’t forget that Sorting Hat’s decision to go to Slytherin is based on the student’s blood, not the quality!”

“But I think it must be the quality!” Snape retorted stubbornly, “There are many mixed-bloods in Slytherin, at least I am!”

“Albus?” Professor McGonagall sighed and turned to ask Dumbledore for his opinion.

Dumbledore saw this and nodded slightly. He said softly, “I still agree with Minerva. However, let’s listen to Sorting Hat.”

Then, Dumbledore waved to the display cabinet, which opened automatically. Sorting Hat quickly flew to the dean’s desk.

Then, Dumbledore gently knocked on the table with his finger.

“Hmm…”

Sorting Hat seemed to have just woken up. The wrinkles on his hat began to twist, forming the shape of eyes and mouth. He wriggled and yawned.

“Oh? What’s wrong?” Sorting Hat saw the scene in the office and could not help but say in surprise, “Did something big happen?”

“It’s like this.” Dumbledore roughly explained the situation and then said, “We need to hear what you said. What was the situation when you tested Coven Quinn?”

“Coven Quinn? Oh, I remember him. I remember him very clearly.” When Sorting Hat heard this, he immediately became spirited. “That child is the most special one I have ever seen. You would never have imagined that his quality has actually reached the limit of four House’s admission criteria!”

“What is Slytherin House’s test standard?” Snape immediately asked, “How did you determine that he could be assigned to Slytherin?”

“Slytherin, well, I remember.” Sorting Hat twisted the tip of his hat and turned around, looking at Snape as he replied, “I judged it based on the bloodline standards. The child’s bloodline is very noble. As for how noble it is… I don’t know. It’s just that the magic on my body told me this.”

Hearing this, other than Professor Snape, everyone else secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“But…” Unexpectedly, Sorting Hat still had something to say, “But the magic in my body also told me that child will have great achievements in the future, which is why I said that the child has reached the limit of all House’s admission criteria.”

“Is our Gryffindor standard for bravery?” Professor McGonagall immediately asked.

“Of course.” Sorting Hat nodded at the tip of his hat and turned to look at every professor. “The standard has never changed, as you know.”

Without waiting for Professor McGonagall to breathe a sigh of relief, Snape continued to shout in a low voice, “Sorting Hat said ‘great achievement’! What achievement? That person also made great achievements!”

“Severus, you are too extreme today.” Professor Sprout gently comforted him, “Did you not listen carefully to what Sorting Hat said? Little Coven has the highest quality of all houses. Even if you don’t care about Gryffindor, you should think about what our Hufflepuff is.”

“Of course, of course.” Sorting Hat interrupted and said in a relaxed tone, “Hufflepuff; loyal, honest, and unafraid of hardship. Coven Quinn also has these qualities. If I hadn’t said that Hufflepuff House was in the basement, I’m afraid that Coven Quinn’s first choice would be Hufflepuff – House. I remember that he was very interested in the kitchen back then.”

“Ah, that’s a pity.” Professor Sprout shook her head and sighed with amusement.

“Yes, it is a pity.” Professor Flitwick also interrupted to ease the atmosphere. He smiled and said, “Little Coven is good in every way, but he dislikes trouble. The reason why he didn’t choose us, Ravenclaw, is because the door ring is too troublesome. Haha.”

“You…” Snape was a little helpless, his chest heaved up and down, and only after a long time did he stubbornly say, “Don’t mistake the focus of your attention! You should pay attention to the danger of that Coven Quinn! You should pay attention to the different expressions on his face!”

“He has great strength at such a young age. It has only been a little over a month, and he has already reached this level! Also, he doesn’t look like a child’s mature performance!”

“If not for Dumbledore’s reminder, who would have found out that his expression was different? When he faced us in the afternoon, even I felt that he was the most innocent!”

“He was attacked by Death Eater,” Professor McGonagall said seriously. “The child has been trembling before school started! I have interacted with him several times, and I can see this!”

“I think if it were for me, I would be wary of the surrounding environment and hide my true emotions! Maybe he is already used to this, so he showed his performance in the afternoon.”

Professor McGonagall solemnly concluded, “He is naturally on the opposite side of Death Eater!”

The others completely relaxed when they heard this. Only Snape was still a little unwilling, but he was not so excited…
