Chapter 205 Gryffindor Certified Excellent Gryffindor
"You come?"

"I come."

Nick's expression hardened now - who isn't a Gryffindor?
Although the three of them were surprised, they might as well give it a try since everyone had failed.

This isn't an easy process, however - ghosts can't touch real objects unless they try very hard to interfere.

...

"I'm ready, come on."

Nick tried to make his head make an impact, sensing the incoming Sorting Hat, while the twins raised the Sorting Hat solemnly and put it on Nick's head.

puff…

The Sorting Hat missed Nick's head and fell until it hit his chest.

"Hey, be gentle, Nick, I'm an old man, you can't play like this, when I sorted you into Gryffindor you were... ah, no, you were so clumsy back then!"

The Sorting Hat suddenly remembered something and shouted.

"I promise I won't do it again!"

Nick shook his head hard and managed to make his head fall off his neck, looking upside down at the twins and the Sorting Hat.

"Oh, sorry... no, wait, maybe we could put the hat on backwards - with Fred or George holding it up."

I don’t know if Nick’s thinking state was triggered when his head was hanging upside down, but he suddenly came up with a seemingly feasible suggestion.

"Oh, I don't like the upside-down world... but it sounds more feasible."

The Sorting Hat grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Fred stepped forward, put his hands in Nick's chest, then raised the Sorting Hat and dragged it upside down.

As for George, he held down Nick's drooping head and lifted the Sorting Hat.

"This is the first time I've been treated like this, but it's also the first time I've tried to communicate with a ghost..." The Sorting Hat muttered softly, "To be honest, this is really not very pleasant."

But it soon stopped talking, as if it was attracted by something and began to shrink.

"Ah...ah???"

Nick let out a cry of surprise, and then under everyone's gaze, a hilt inlaid with an egg-sized ruby ​​emerged from the Sorting Hat and then got stuck.

"Is that it?"

Sirius tried to pull it out eagerly, but just as he pulled it out a little, Nick let out a sharp cry.

"The blade can hurt it!"

Fred warned loudly, then carefully lifted Nick up by his head, and then took out the sword from his hat.

"Is this the sword of Gryffindor?"

"Of course, it is extremely sharp and can absorb all forces that are beneficial to it..."

Sirius was a little excited. According to reliable historical data, he was quite familiar with this sword. "There is no doubt that one of its summoners used it to touch something magical, which gave it the ability to hurt ghosts, or it could have been in the beginning..."

"So, when will it be used to chop off my head?"

Nick straightened his head, looking expectant.

The three of them looked at each other, hesitation showing on their faces.

Because no one knows - whether the head will be chopped off or the ghost will be killed.

And there's another important problem - they can't accept themselves taking action against a friendly ghost knight.

"No, no, you can, of course you can..."

Nick obviously saw the hesitation of the three people, "Trust me, I will only chop off my head. It doesn't matter if something unexpected happens. It would be better if I was killed... Death may give me enough courage to face the last step."

"last step?"

George asked hesitantly.

"Yes, the last step, those who are willing to go on, will go on and leave the world, and those who are timid and unwilling to go on will stay like me..."

Nick said calmly, "So you don't have to worry, nothing worse will happen - this time I'm not just showing off..."

"Well... you probably haven't heard how I died?"

He began to learn about his own death - after graduating from Hogwarts, he went to survive in the Muggle world and successfully became a court wizard.

"Court wizard?"

George couldn't help but interrupt.

"Yes, court wizard. That's how I got my title. I am a courtier in the palace of King Henry VII."

Nick was quite pleased with himself.

George and Fred couldn't help but exchange glances - is the court wizard so simple?
The Malfoys have always called themselves nobles, but if Nick can do it, then the value of this is…

But Nick obviously didn't notice the interaction between the two. He puffed out his chest proudly, but quickly retracted it, "But, I made a mistake..."

"Mistake?"

"Well, Ms. Grief's teeth weren't very good, so I told her I could do it... Then the spell went wrong, and human body deformation is a little difficult... I turned her crooked teeth into fangs."

……

The twins were stunned - although they couldn't do it, the Grim Ripper should have no problem, and Percy should have no problem either, so is this spell so difficult?
"and after?"

"Then my wand was taken away by trickery, and I was taken to the cell. The next day, I was executed, and my neck was broken - the damn axe was not sharpened, and I was hit by dozens of axes but it still didn't work."

...

The twins didn't know what to say for a moment - no, this is too outrageous!

"So, what a terrible ghost life. Either my neck is completely broken, or I just die."

"Okay, Nick, but..."

The twins grimaced - the promise had turned into something they had to cut themselves, and the pressure was just too great.

"No buts, my friends. If you do this, you will gain my lifelong friendship. I will take good care of your child when he comes to Hogwarts."

???

Is the range of your friendships a bit abnormal?

But this was not the time to complain, Fred took a breath and became serious.

"Well, Nick, let's get started..."

"bring it on!"

Nick was very determined and even tilted his neck deliberately.

……

"Here, I suspect something is wrong here, what are you doing!"

Percy's growl came through, but it was too late.

The sharp sword was swung out and slashed at the poor ghost.

"Merlin's socks!"

Percy cried out in pain - he had never imagined that his annoying brother could do something so cruel.

That's a...

ghost?

He looked at the transparent body standing there, and the transparent head rolling over, and he fell into a daze.

"Ah, it's Percy." The head rolling over on the ground smiled and greeted very skillfully.

"It seems I succeeded, although it hurts... Really, it hurts so much, it reminds me of the day I died, it still hurts now..."

"Ah, you are, Nick?"

Percy held it in for a long time, and finally said something he hadn't expected.

"Ah, it's me, it's me, Percy, of course it's me, long time no see Percy, really, I'm so happy..."

Nick tried to raise his head - and it began to sway and float, but it moved left and right and looked very strange.

"I'm a little out of control, but I think I'll get used to it..."

Nick's tone was filled with an irrepressible smile - it would have been better if there wasn't a body swaying around as well.

Even Percy, who knew nothing, could see that Nico was still a long way from getting used to this problem - but that was not the point.

"The sword cuts the ghost..."

Percy sighed, "You guys went a little too far, but Nico seemed to be having a lot of fun, so I won't hold you responsible - but it's a pity you managed to find a sword that can hurt ghosts..."

A look of suspicion appeared on his face.

"Wait... a sword that can cut through ghosts? Where did you get it from? And this style and shape look exactly like... um, the sword of Gryffindor!"

"But the sword is lost very quickly... No, according to historical records, the sword of Gryffindor can be..."

"Of course, it was summoned by the great Sorting Hat!"

The Sorting Hat, who was stuck behind, responded happily, "Only Gryffindors in urgent need can get this magical sword with my help! ~"

???

Percy was stunned for a moment, then immediately became furious, "You two bastards, you actually sneaked into the headmaster's office and stole the precious Sorting Hat!"

"Stop your stupid speeches, Percy Weasley!"

The Sorting Hat's tone became even more angry. "How could I be stolen? I left voluntarily to help Gryffindors in need!"

"You kidnapped the Sorting Hat!"

Percy looked unkind.

"I didn't kidnap you! I was just going out for a stroll!"

The Sorting Hat's tone became even angrier, and it even retorted with confidence.

Are Gryffindors so rude these days? Could it be fooled? If he spreads the message back, how will he survive in front of all those headmasters?

Besides, he just followed here because he thought it was fun!

How can this be called kidnapping?
Percy froze—the victim vehemently denied being victimized.

"Your opinion is invalid!"

He said something stupid in anger and soon learned the consequences - although the Sorting Hat has no grades and is not part of the grading system, it has the greatest weapon.

"You didn't talk like this when you first came to school, Slug Percy, the third child in the family, the guy that no one pays attention to. Only by studying hard can you get the family's..."

"Nonsense!"

Percy blushed.

"When you were assigned to Gryffindor, you should have been sent to Slytherin, asshole!"

The Sorting Hat goes right on top.

Such a fierce quarrel naturally attracted the boss, Madam Pomfrey, who ran over angrily and drove out everyone except Sirius, including half a ghost and a head.

"Don't let him touch me!"

The Sorting Hat was filled with rage. It leaned on George threateningly, and looked like it would explode if Percy did anything again - it worked, so Percy gave up.

Soon, the nearby prefects were notified by Percy using the portrait, and Andrew was no exception.

When Andrew jogged up, he just happened to witness this magical scene.

All the Gryffindor prefects surrounded the two red-haired Weasleys, but no one dared to step forward.

"what happened?"

He trotted over, ready to act as peacemaker.

It was a bit surprising to catch the Weasley twins, but it was not impossible.

If all else fails, let's beg for mercy and let these two bastards clean toilets for half a year - after all, this matter can be big or small, and it's not like cheating which will definitely get you expelled. If Professor McGonagall and the headmaster are willing to forgive, then that's it.

However, in any case, it is too much to let the prefects block the intersection and prevent people from passing - this will easily breed rumors, you should at least find an empty classroom.

Andrew made way for the prefect who was blocking the road and walked forward quickly.

"Something's gone terribly wrong, Andrew."

Huffman quickly stepped forward, stopped Andrew with a serious face, and briefly explained what had happened - the maintenance of the Sorting Hat made everyone dare not really do it, after all, everyone really had a dark history.

...

'Dear Huffman, do you think I don't?'

Andrew just wanted to leave at this moment - what is the Sorting Hat? You can't mess with that thing, get out of the way!
But at this moment, I can only go forward.

Andrew shouted before the Sorting Hat could speak.

"We negotiate, negotiate, just negotiate. We will not pursue the matter of you kidnapping the Weasley twins."

"Kidnapping?"

The Sorting Hat was stunned.

"I just helped an excellent Gryffindor, why kidnap him?!"

But this word is good - kidnapping, it can be considered a big deal.

"Excellence needs to be assessed, Mr. Sorting Hat. There has to be a reason for excellence, right?"

"A Gryffindor who can draw the Gryffindor dagger is an excellent Gryffindor. This is what Gryffindor said!"

???

No, this is Gryffindor as defined by Gryffindor?

Andrew's eyes widened and he looked at the other Gryffindor prefects.

Percy and Huffman nodded, as did Sheila, the sixth-year prefect.

No? You really have?
Andrew looked helpless... So the twins are excellent Gryffindors?

Shouldn't this give the college 50 extra points? Just for this excellent reputation?
Okay, we can't expel the two of them anyway, so we can only consider letting them wait until the end of the school year - the house that Gryffindor stayed in naturally can't expel Gryffindor just because Gryffindor proved himself to be an excellent Gryffindor.

No, why should I get involved?
I'm the only Ravenclaw here, okay?

Andrew looked depressed, but he still pulled Percy and the others over and explained the situation directly, and then several people implemented their ideas at the same time.

"Take them back first, and give the Sorting Hat a way out by saying they will never expel them. Then the professor will decide how long these two bastards need to be put in detention for their troubles."

The Sorting Hat and the like, if you can’t afford to offend it, you can avoid it - this kid is backstabbing!
After learning that it had secured two outstanding Gryffindors, the Sorting Hat relented - although it took advantage of Nick a little, the ending was good.

Nick's head fell off, but the twins were not expelled, so he had something to brag about.

'It's a pleasant journey...'

The Sorting Hat smiled.
