"Because Ravencw is the most suitable house for him!" The S Hat quickly screamed, "No one is more suited to Ravencw than him. I've waited a thousand years to find Ravencw's heir, a missiorusted to me by Gryffindor!"
His words did not satisfy Snape.
"Ravencw got the most students this year."
Uedly, Snape had even been keeping t of this.
"Those are just students! Just students! You don't uand Ravencw! You haven't seen her gra her time! In a thousand years, no one has been worthy of beirue Apprentice!"
The S Hat's words caused both Dumbledore and Professonagall's expressions to ge slightly.
Professonagall's eyes narrowed slightly.
Dumbledore's eyes behind his gsses flickered with a few more thoughts. They both uood the true meaning of an Apprentice.
It was the iance of a legacy.
An a wizard's retionship is like that of father and son— as the S Hat said, there could be many students, but an Apprentice was different.
Wizards would only take in those children who, in their exploration and pursuit of magic, they felt could go further than themselves, so that after their passing, the Apprentice could carry their knowledge to see even farther horizons.
"Are you saying that the boy named Ian has the talent to bee Lady Ravencrentice?" Professonagall's expression showed a hint of incredulous shock.
"Of course!" The S Hat responded loudly.
"He and Rowena Ravencw share the same qualities, qualities none of you possess! Even you, Dumbledore, are g in this aspect!"
The S Hat's loud procmation made Snape frown tightly.
"Shut up!"
He didn't want the S Hat to tinue speaking.
"How you say that about Dumbledore..." Professonagall also stepped forward to refute the S Hat. It wasn't that she wao defend Dumbledore's unshakable authority.
But given the current situation.
Only Dumbledore could likely save the S Hat.
If the S Hat were really taken to the young wizards' dung heap and smeared with a potion that made the smell linger forever, it wouldn't just be the S Hat suffering.
She, Magall, was the one who presided over the S of udents every year!
"Professor Snape, Professonagall, let it tinue... Do you really think I'm so petty as to pare anything with a young wizard?"
Dumbledore stopped Snape's as and also helplessly shook his head at Professonagall. Then, with a hint of curiosity, he looked at the S Hat in Snape's hand.
"I still maintain that the S Hat's judgment is never wrong. In fact, I agree with its words. At Ian's age, I couldn't yet improve and create magic."
Dumbledore's words caused Professonagall's pupils to slightly tract.
"An unenrolled udent? Creating magic?" Magall looked incredulous.
"..."
Snape's expression also abruptly stiffened.
Damn it!
'Didn't Ian say that it was Dumbledore's bird that pyed around with him, almost plug out his eyes? How did creating and improving magie into this?'
"That child..." Professonagall's voice trembled slightly as she spoke. She certainly uood the implications of Dumbledore's words. At the same time, she recalled who Ian had been standi the S.
A young wizard of extraordinary talent.
Standio a young Grindelwald.
Professonagall didn't want to specute about Hogwarts' young wizards with malice, but the unavoidable worry welling up in her heart made her nervously look at Dumbledore.
And this was exactly what Snape didn't want to see.
His lips were tightly bitten.
Perhaps he was regretting his decision to question the S Hat.
"There's o worry, they are all good children, Professonagall. We should have a bit more fiden our students." Dumbledore's tone was gentle as he spoke.
However, some subtle emotions within were imperceptible to others, "If we treat them as vilins to guard against from the start, how we help them stay away from the mire of evil?"
This was a very reasoatement.
"Apologies, it seems that my mi was the problem." Professonagall nodded in agreement.
Snape secretly let out a breath.
He already wao throw away the S Hat in his hand.
However, "Dumbledore, I'm not saying yical talent is g! Of course, that little one's magical talent is also amazing, but that's not the reason he should be in Ravencw."
The S Hat tio prattle on, seemingly trying to persuade everyone.
"Stop going around in circles with me!" Sernly reprimanded.
"It's you who went on and on, how you bme me?" The S Hat said aggrievedly.
Seeing that everyone present was growing impatient, this always chattering, chatterbox-like hat also dared not tio challenge human patience.
"It's the attitude towards knowledge!" The S Hat shouted suctly.
"Every Ravencw young ossesses a thirst and attitude for knowledge." Professonagall looked puzzled, feeling this wasn't a very ving reason.
Snape and Dumbledore clearly also thought simirly.
However, pared to Snape's growing impatience, Dumbledore tio listen attentively.
"I'm not talking about that mediocre pursuit and desire. Look at you all, that's why I said you don't uahat's why she lived her entire life in unreized loneliness."
The S Hat's voice carried a hint of sadness as if its tone had ged slightly at this moment.
"For a thousand years, all Ravencw students, though intelligent and sharp, Ravencw's most urait was never her desire and pursuit of knowledge."
The S Hat seemed to be reminisg, also sighing aing.
"Standing at the peak of wisdom, what one needs is never diligence, pride, intelligence, or effort, but... that naked arrogaowards knowledge."
Its words caused everyoo pause slightly.
But it did not stop.
"Yes, Ian possesses this quality. He makes me feel as if I'm seeing the Rowena of old. They both have a single characteristic towards knowledge... their suffit arrogance!"
"It is knowledge that chases them, being the path beh their feet."
"Do not question my judgment. My decision is absolutely correct!"
The S Hat's wrinkled face turowards Snape.
Its words rang out resoundingly.
"Ian Prince, he is the most correct Ravencw. I admit, Slytherin might lead him to glory, but only Ravencw help him achieve greatness!"
