Hogwarts: This fairy tale is too eerie

Upon hearing this...

Thor fell into deep thought.

Four colleges... I hadn't really thought about this before.

Seeing that Thor seemed to have "acquiesced," Harry said anxiously, "Thor! You can't go to Slytherin! I heard from Hagrid that—"

Harry glanced cautiously at Professor Snape and said in a low voice:

"I heard Hagrid say that the worst wizards all came from Slytherin!"

How could a helpful wizard like Thor go to Slytherin?

Snape's brow twitched, feeling as if he'd been struck in the knee by an arrow. He sneered, "I never expected the renowned Savior to have an interest in giving advice to others."

Harry paused, pouted, and stubbornly tugged at Thor's sleeve: "I... I think Gryffindor is pretty good! Hagrid told me that both my parents are Gryffindors!"

Snape: "You can earn glory in Slytherin, and Gryffindor probably produces a lot of people who are good at dropping out—what, didn't the wise Mr. Hagrid explain to you why he doesn't have a wand, Savior?"

"Gryffindor!"

Slytherin.

"Gryffindor—"

The two stopped in their tracks, turned around, and stared intently at Thor, as if they wanted to throw the Sorting Hat at him right then and there.

Harry & Snape: "Which house did you say you wanted to go to, Mr. Thor/Grimm?!"

"..."

Thor looked up and met two burning gazes. He touched his face and thought to himself:

Oh dear, kind-hearted people are indeed popular everywhere.

But after the previous reflection, and after considering the various standards of different colleges, Thor, through his extraordinary wisdom, also came to a conclusion:

I think—

Harry and Snape held their breath.

Thor: "I should go to Hufflepuff."

"...?"

The moment the word "Hufflepuff" was uttered, Harry and Snape thought they had misheard.

"Hu—" What? Is it some unknown word from the Grimm family?

Two seconds later, when the two finally realized what Thor meant, their expressions went blank.

"...Haha," Snape smirked, meeting Thor's sincere gaze. "Mr. Grimm actually knows how to joke. How amusing."

"I'm not kidding," Thor tilted his head and said seriously, "I think Hufflepuff would be perfect for me!"

"...May I ask what led you to this astonishing answer?"

Snape's tone made it sound as if Thor had drained all his life force.

It's completely unrealistic.

Thor counted on his fingers, one by one: "First of all, Hufflepuff's standard is 'loyalty,' and I am absolutely loyal to my fantasy forms."

"Secondly, there's 'diligence.' Look, I subdued two illusions in just two days, running back and forth for the sake of the world's beauty and the illusions' safety. Doesn't that qualify as diligence?"

Harry & Snape: "........."

It sounds reasonable, but something just feels off.

Are you thinking using human logic?

Snape thought that if the Sorting Hat added an "Azkaban" option, Thor would immediately get the Ministry of Magic's direct route, which countless people dream of.

Snape clutched his forehead, feeling a sharp pain in his brain.

After exchanging a glance with Harry, I suddenly found him much more pleasing to the eye.

...After all, he's Lily's son.

Actually, Gryffindor isn't entirely unacceptable to them.

Whichever house it is, just don't go and harm innocent Hufflepuffs.

Snape suddenly understood.

Although he was willing to guarantee that Thor was definitely one of his Serpentshrine Cavern members!

......

Diagon Alley.

"Bang!"

Snape grabbed Harry and Green, spun them out of the air, and brought them to the bustling street.

Since both Harry and Thor had wands, Snape used Apparition directly.

Although the standard procedure is to practice "follower phantom" first, Snape was skilled and daring, and brought both of them back across a great distance.

"Alright," Snape said wearily, his face pale. "I need to report to Dumbledore. You two go with Hagrid and finish buying the rest—"

"No need to wait, you can tell me now."

An aged, hoarse, and authoritative voice, tinged with barely concealed anger, rang out from in front of the three.

Snape's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and met Dumbledore's star-like blue eyes in the crowd.

Oh no, we're doomed.

"Professor Snape."

"Could you explain to this old man who's out of touch with the times what happened during the time you, Mr. Green, and Mr. Potter disappeared?"

Dumbledore asked calmly.

Snape: "..."

A bead of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

—I'm so sorry, Old Deng, I accidentally fell into the enemy's trap. Not only did I almost die, but I also led the savior and the last descendant of the Green family into danger...

If that's the case, Snape felt that his position as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the next hundred years was waving goodbye to him.

Thor glanced at the stiff, greasy black bat, then at Dumbledore, whose face was contorted with rage.

He silently took two steps back.

"Whoosh!"

A silent spell shot out, but Thor immediately drew out the thorns from the rose vine in his hand and knocked the spell away with a snap!

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, looking at the strangely shaped wand with surprise and curiosity.

Even the most intuitively connected wand to its master will rarely take the initiative to attack, let alone directly block a spell.

Of course, he had only cast a freezing spell to try and catch little Thor who was trying to "escape".

"This morning Thor didn't have this wand... and as far as I know, Mr. Ollivander wasn't that avant-garde in wand making."

"Heh, did Thor just acquire another amazing magical item?"

That's amazing!

A smile flickered in Dumbledore's eyes, but his expression remained serious as he said, "Mr. Green, I think we need to have a serious talk. Why didn't you come to me first?"

In Dumbledore's view, even if, just even if, something really happened to Snape.

As children who need protection, they shouldn't be the ones going to rescue others.

Thor rolled his eyes and raised his hand to give an "OK" sign.

Dumbledore secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said kindly, "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Green, we—"

Before he could finish speaking...

Then Thor suddenly retracted one of his fingers.

Three, two, one—

"Meow~!"

A huge shadow suddenly descended from the sky!

"Wow!"

The crowd that had gathered to watch scattered in panic!

A child pointed at the enormous object in mid-air, his eyes shining, and tugged at his mother, shouting, "Big cat! Mommy, I want this! I want this!"

Then he was punished by his mother's merciless iron fist.

burst into tears.

"Bang!"

Its six round legs landed steadily, stirring up a cloud of dust and a gust of wind!

It proudly raised its head, displaying its magnificent and fluffy chest to everyone!

"Meow~!"

Catbus is here!
