Chapter 739: Gryffindor's Sword

"I told you that my words don't count!" the Sorting Hat angrily yelled at Cat: "Even if you tear me into rags, I can't do it!"

"Hey! Why are you so useless? Meow! Fei Xu doesn't want you anymore..."

(ˇˇ)

There was a look of disgust in Maomao's green eyes.

"Then thank you so much!" Although the Sorting Hat does not have a real mouth, you can still hear a hint of gritted teeth in its tone.

Obviously this is what I want, but why do I still feel so annoyed?

The Sorting Hat struggled to swing its crumpled hat tip, trying to free itself from Fish's grasp. Even if it knows very clearly that it is doing useless work...

It hurts your self-esteem so much!

"Hermione, come and try meow!"

(ΦωΦ)つ▲

Fish ignored the Sorting Hat's struggle and thrust it into Hermione's hand.

Hermione apologized to the Sorting Hat in a low voice, and then put her right hand in... She had actually been extremely curious for a long time. It would be even better if she could pull out Gryffindor's sword!

Unfortunately, Hermione failed in the end. She took out her empty right hand and returned the Sorting Hat to Fish with some disappointment.

"Albus, are you lying to Fish again? There is no sword in the Sorting Hat! Hurry up and take out Gryffindor's sword and show it to Fish!"

(`н)

After threatening the Sorting Hat to no avail, and having Hermione try to draw out the sword but failing, Maomao once again became suspicious of the principal, who had a long history of criminal records.

He threw the sorting hat on the table and angrily changed the target of the threat, "Otherwise Feish will bite you! And he will even rip off your beard, meow!"

"Okay, okay," Dumbledore, who failed the test, could only raise his hands in surrender and said helplessly for the sake of his hands and beard: "I'll just take it out and show it to you."

At the same time, he comforted Hermione who was still in despair: "Don't be downcast because of this, Hermione, aren't Fish and I unable to pull Gryffindor's sword out of the Sorting Hat?"

In fact, there are some things that Dumbledore did not tell Fish and Hermione, that is... Only "people who truly possess the unique qualities of Gryffindor" can "return Gryffindor to the throne when necessary". The sword was drawn from the Sorting Hat.

He had asked Fish to try it before, mainly because Maomao had experienced many special situations, so he thought this time would be no exception.

Another point is that the so-called "time of need" is actually relatively ambiguous. For example, Dumbledore himself can adjust his own thoughts to make the Sorting Hat think that he is in a "time of need". ".

Of course, Dumbledore must not tell anyone about these situations now, otherwise he will really lose his beard...

Dumbledore touched his beard with some guilt, and added: "Even if you fail to draw the sword from the Sorting Hat, it does not mean that you are an unqualified Gryffindor, otherwise the Sorting Hat will not treat you." Got assigned to this college.”

"It's just Meow! There's nothing special about Gryffindor! Fish is suitable for going to all the houses! And Albus was probably lying just now. There is no Meow Sword that can be drawn from the Sorting Hat!"

(ˇˇ)

The cat on the side crossed his arms and said plausibly.

"I didn't lie to you about this matter," Dumbledore quickly defended himself: "It is really possible for a person with Gryffindor qualities to pull out the Gryffindor sword from the hat. Don't believe it. If so, when you become the principal of Hogwarts in the future, you can definitely let all the Gryffindor students in the school give it a try."

Dumbledore never misses an opportunity to persuade cats.

But Fei Xu pretended not to hear it. Anyway, he already had a way to make money, so he didn't want to be a principal.

"I'm fine, Professor." Hermione also recovered at this time and said with a smile.

Although she was a little disappointed just after eating, she had actually been mentally prepared...

Because at the sorting ceremony, the Sorting Hat said that she also had the characteristics of Ravenclaw, but at that time she thought that Fish was the child of Professor McGonagall and would probably be a Gryffindor, so she chose Ravenclaw. Llanffindor.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the cat next to her and said, "It's just that if Minerva knew that neither Fish nor I could draw the sword, she would probably be very disappointed."

"Meow!"

∑(ΦДΦ)

Fish was startled and quickly turned his attention to Dumbledore.

"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you..." Dumbledore reassured Maomao, dumbfounded, and then walked towards the wall with portraits of past principals.

He removed one of the portraits of the headmaster from Gryffindor, and then took out a long and narrow wooden box from inside. The shape of the box was very simple, with no decorations or carvings on it, only a simple hook-shaped metal box. The buckle locks the box firmly.

However, Dumbledore did not immediately open the buckle. Instead, he took out his wand and tapped the wooden box a few times. The hook of the buckle jumped slightly and turned to one side, and then the lid of the wooden box automatically popped up. , revealing the red velvet backing inside and the sword lying quietly on it.

The entire sword was a shining silver color, and the name of Godric Gryffindor was engraved on the sword.

Normal silverware naturally cannot have such a shiny luster, but Gryffindor's sword is made of goblins' silverware. Goblin silverware is not only brighter than ordinary silverware, but also can repel dust and never needs to be wiped. Therefore, those ancient pure-blood wizards have always owned a goblin silverware as a symbol of status and wealth.

In addition to the sword body made entirely of shiny goblin silverware, a dazzling, egg-sized ruby ​​is inlaid on the hilt of the sword, and the hilt itself is covered with complex and exquisite carvings, which makes people easily feel its preciousness.

Of course, Fish is not included.

"It doesn't seem to be anything special?"

ω

Mao Mao grabbed the sword and looked at it carefully, muttering to himself.

Although this sword does look pretty, it doesn't have much advantage compared to those swords on TV. At most, it looks shiny.

Fish thought about it, and suddenly turned his right hand into a soft, furry cat paw with pink pads, and then a sharp hook-shaped claw popped out from the pads, and he put it on the blade and scratched it hard.

"Swish--"

Gryffindor's sword made a clear friction sound, and at the same time, a small section of the cat's nail fell off the blade.

Fish put his broken claw in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, and found that the cut was still quite smooth.

"Well, it's quite sharp, meow..."

ω

The cat blinked and said.

Although Fish didn't use any spells to strengthen his claws just now, his claws themselves are not inferior to ordinary swords. Some swords of poor quality will curl when they hit his claws, so it is already a very remarkable thing that Gryffindor's sword can cut off his claws, and the cut is so smooth.

But... that's all.

After testing the sharpness of Gryffindor's sword, Fish quickly lost interest in it.

"Here, I'll give it back to you meow."

(ΦωΦ)つ━━╋══════

Mao Mao casually stuffed the sword in his hand back to Dumbledore, and then turned around to ask him for new memories.

"And the memory of your fight with Grindelwald meow? Fish wants to see it! It's best if it's the one where you locked him up in Nurmengard meow!"

(ω)

Fish has always regretted not being able to see the winner between Dumbledore and Grindelwald last time. Now that he has the opportunity to let Dumbledore share his memories again, he must pick a complete duel to watch!

Recommendation ticket monthly ticket

The original book did not specify where Dumbledore hid Gryffindor's sword. For a period of time, he was directly placed outside, but later replaced it with a fake one.

Baidu Encyclopedia does say that the real one is behind Dumbledore's portrait, but there is no relevant description in the original book. Anyway, there are more than one or two fake encyclopedias on Baidu, and I am too lazy to think of other storage locations, so I just use this fake encyclopedia.
