After this unexpected situation, the Sorting Hat no longer hesitated and could basically sort the students into different houses as soon as it touched the new hair.
With this efficiency, soon only the last two freshmen were left.
"Connor Prince!"
Hearing this familiar name, Kyle and Cedric looked over at the same time.
"Is this the little girl on the train?" Cedric asked curiously, "Where do you think she will be sorted into, Slytherin?"
"Probably." Kyle scratched his back subconsciously and said, "Since she is wearing extraordinary clothes, she is most likely a pure blood, probably Slytherin... huh?"
At this moment, Kyle was suddenly stunned. He didn't know if it was his illusion. After Professor McGonagall called out Connor's name, Snape, who had been wearing a stern face and seemed to be completely uninterested in the sorting, actually moved forward and for the first time focused his attention on the sorting hat.
"They don't know each other!" Kyle thought to himself.
Although Snape rarely participated in any social activities due to his special status, he was one of the four deans of Hogwarts and a famous potions master after all. It was impossible that he had no acquaintances in the wizarding world.
Kanna’s family might be among them.
Thinking of this, Kyle felt a chill on his back and suddenly had a bad feeling.
If that was true, with Snape's personality, if he knew that he had cheated Connor, he would probably enjoy the protagonist treatment in advance.
"It can't be such a coincidence..." Kyle felt his scalp tingling.
What a sin.
I was just making fun of the Weasley twins for getting their comeuppance, but I didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly and it happened to me the next second.
Kyle looked towards the stage nervously.
For some reason, when it was Kanna's turn, the Sorting Hat's efficiency seemed to return to the beginning.
Everyone waited for more than a minute before the Sorting Hat spoke:
"Hufflepuff!"
Um??
There was a burst of warm cheers at the Hufflepuff table, and the prefects stood up again to welcome Connor.
Only Kyle looked at Kanna who was walking past him, with a question mark on his forehead.
What's going on? Besides Scamander, there are pure-blood families coming to Hufflepuff? This is really rare.
It's not that there aren't any, there are pure-bloods in all four houses, but there are just fewer in Hufflepuff.
As for whether Kanna came here because she was chasing him...that's simply impossible.
Sorting is not a game. On a larger scale, it can even affect the future path of wizards.
So even if Kanna is young and ignorant, the Sorting Hat will not let her act recklessly. Otherwise, Kanna's family will not let it go so easily.
Kyle remembered that Chris once told him that when Sirius Black was sorted into Gryffindor, Mrs. Black had caused a big fuss at Hogwarts.
If Dumbledore hadn't intervened, the Sorting Hat would have been almost burned by her Fiendfyre.
This matter caused quite a stir at the time. Although it was suppressed by Dumbledore at Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic held several meetings to discuss whether to abolish the Sorting Hat and adopt other methods of sorting the houses in the future.
Moreover, the support rate for this proposal is quite high, because most pure-blood families are unwilling to let their children go to colleges other than Slytherin, especially those stubborn conservatives.
Having a Gryffindor in the family is a real disgrace to them.
Of course, the final result was definitely not passing.
The matter just ended there.
However, since then, those pure-blood family members who supported the proposal have never visited other colleges.
Kyle glanced toward the teachers' table on the stage.
It was easy to confirm whether the sorting was normal this time. All he had to do was look at Snape's reaction. If Connor's family really had a good relationship with Snape, Snape would definitely not continue to sit there calmly after she was sorted into Hufflepuff...
Forehead……
Well, Kyle was wrong.
In the classroom, Snape's face was so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out of it. He was constantly talking to Dumbledore and occasionally glanced at Hufflepuff.
Kyle quickly lowered his head, trying to reduce his presence.
It can't be such a coincidence, is the Sorting Hat really that brave? Kyle was a little nervous.

At the same time, the last of the freshmen had just finished sorting and went to the Gryffindor table.
Dumbledore immediately stood up, looked at the students with a smile on his face, and stretched out his arms: "Welcome, welcome to Hogwarts, it's a new school year, and nothing could make me happier than seeing you.
What are you waiting for, eat it!"
The originally empty dining table was instantly filled with steaming food.
Beef, roast chicken, pork chops, sausages, and steaks are piled up into small hills, which makes people's appetite increase just by looking at them.
If you think these are too greasy, there are also fragrant boiled potatoes, pea sprouts and potato chips on the side, which are also very good to eat together.
The whole auditorium was filled with the aroma of food.
Kyle shook his head, trying not to think about those messy things.
Forget it. Things have already happened this way. What’s the point in thinking so much? Let’s just take it one step at a time.
Anyway, no matter what, he will not be the first one to be unlucky, because there is still a Sorting Hat ahead of him.
Besides, even if Snape really wanted to cause trouble for him, it wouldn't last long. As long as he could hold on until Harry Potter entered school next year, he wouldn't be in the mood to care about himself anymore.
Kyle calmed himself down, reached out and took a fried chicken leg from in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth.
He had no appetite after being jolted all the way on the train, so he just had some snacks. He was really hungry now.
The elves have quite good craftsmanship.
The fried chicken legs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When you take a bite, the juice overflows and the fragrance instantly fills your entire mouth.
The baked potatoes are also good, cooked to the perfect temperature, without any extra seasoning, and the fragrance of the potatoes is fully preserved. If you find the taste a bit bland, there are separate ketchup and black pepper on the side.
Kyle found this combination unexpectedly good, so he took another one.
But just as he finished cutting the potatoes and was about to get the black pepper, Cedric suddenly came over and whispered, "Did you notice that she has been staring at you?"
"Staring at me? Who?" Kyle replied without even looking up.
"That's the freshman named Connor Prince whom I met on the train." Cedric raised his eyebrows and pointed in the opposite direction with a teasing look in his eyes, "Look, she's looking at you again."
