Chapter 19 Inherited Physical Traits

Born and raised in the wizarding world, he knew that there were no so-called nobility in the wizarding world.

The term pure-blooded aristocracy is exactly the same as the Youzhou people with sky-reaching patterns that I heard in Youzhou in my previous life.

But, it shouldn’t be like this.

Although, he had heard from the younger twin sister that in novels, it was Slytherin who was often compared to a troll.

Harry Potter was mainly written for children, and the characters in it are very stereotyped.

The villain Slytherin has white skin and is also pale.

The female students who have appeared in the descriptions either look like a lion dog or have big shoulders and a thick waist.

The male Slytherin students who have roles to play, except for a minority like Malfoy, are mostly big and burly and are compared to trolls.

But before this, Bagel had never believed this.

In his mind, Slytherin was the epitome of nobility and elegance.

However, if that's the case, then the fact that purebloods like Malfoy and Black were enrolled in the Twenty-Eight Sacred Pureblood Clans might also be related to their excellent appearance genes.

After all, among Slytherin's pure-bloods, people like Crabbe and Goyle are the majority.

Bajir guessed that this had something to do with their pure-blood ancestors.

It seems to be the influence of magic that the physical characteristics of wizards, including but not limited to hair color, eye color, facial features, and physique, are more likely to be passed on to their offspring than Muggles.

In the European Middle Ages, protection laws had not yet been fully implemented and witches had not yet disappeared.

Among wizards, those who yearn for power and tend to be Slytherins often have their own upper-class status in the Muggle world.

And their identities are mostly limited to businessmen, priests, and knights.

Only a few people like Malfoy can come into contact with the royal family and nobles, just like court nobles.

The former are often either physically strong or have the luxury of excess fat.

The latter often never get involved in water, wind or sun exposure, so they have pale faces and thin bodies.

Therefore, the long years have brought to the Slytherins, a group of pure-bloods, not only family traits that are more inclined towards magic, such as proficiency in the dark arts.

They also passed down the physical features that their ancestors had acquired due to their affluent life.

"Basil Granger!" The voice of the Sorting Hat woke him up from his thoughts.

Oops!

He missed the sorting of Hannah Abbott, the Lord of the Iron Throne!
If his life is a fan fiction, then his bloodline is impure and he is doomed to failure!

Just casually put on this hat that almost covers his entire head, no dialogue.

There was a voice in my ear immediately.

It’s just that the first sentence was almost a whisper, while the second sentence suddenly rose up, deafening.

"Gryffindors do have big heads, kid."

"Gryffindor!"

[Correction of identity: Hogwarts, Gryffindor, first-year student (20 gems are given every day)]

[Fire spell blessing +1%]

He didn't pay attention to the whispers of the students below.

The Gryffindors, especially Percy, cheered, "I knew it could be any other house!"

Behind Harry and the other ghosts, who had also eaten the entire melon, were looking at him with admiration.

Basil took off his hat and walked slightly disappointedly to Hermione who was waiting to sit down with him.

"It's just 1%. Who wants it?"

“Still 20!!!”

"Am I not the protagonist?"

"Why Gryffindor directly?"

"I haven't even shown any restraint yet!"

At this moment, a translucent, pearly white ghost wearing a round ruffled collar, a knee-length waistcoat, and tight pants came over. His clothes were almost the same as the costume of Midnight Phantom in the game.

It's just that the one in the game is darker blue.

"Kid, you seem a little lost."

"But your choice is undoubtedly correct."

Hermione next to him couldn't help but hug Bagel's left arm.

As Basil pulled his hand away imperceptibly, he sighed, "I thought Slytherin was excellent."

The ghost rolled his eyes. "Although, Slytherin has won the House Cup for six consecutive years! Even Quidditch, we haven't won since Charlie Weasley left! But they are not excellent, but cunning! Insidious!"

Hermione was attracted by the topic: "But it is mentioned in "Hogwarts, A History" that Gryffindor is the best house!"

The ghost was very proud and wanted to raise his neck, but for some reason he stopped.

“This book is absolutely correct!”

"What do you mean?" "What do you mean?" Harry and Ron, who had already been sorted into the houses and were sitting nearby, asked curiously.

Neville said nothing, but like the other first-year students around him, he pricked up his ears.

The old students all looked at the two red-haired twins and Snape sitting in the guest of honor seat.

The ghost adjusted his collar complacently. "Although there are reasons why students in our house like to break school rules, the reason why Slytherin has been able to keep winning is all because of their head of house and Potions professor, Severus Snape. He always finds excuses to add points to his own house and subtract points from Gryffindor. There has never been a head of house as biased as him."

"I dare say that even if Phineas Nigellus Black, the most unpopular headmaster in Hogwarts' history, were resurrected now, he would be more popular than him."

"But it's not surprising, after all, his name is snape (used as a verb, meaning to treat harshly), haha."

"Then where is our dean? Professor McGonagall!" Ron asked hurriedly.

He didn't understand the ghost's joke.

But this made Bajir think of more, "snape? It is derived from the Old Norse word sneypa, which means 'to be insulted, shamed, and defiled.' If I hadn't traveled through time, and I couldn't even pass the CET-4, I probably wouldn't have known that the last name foreshadowed the character's experience and personality."

"Like Professor Cat, Minerva is the Roman name for Athena, who is also known as the goddess of justice."

On the other side, the ghost just said his evaluation, "She? She is an excellent Transfiguration teacher and deputy headmaster of Hogwarts."

"Oh? She's not a good dean?" interrupted the sandy-haired Seamus Finnigan.

The ghost shook his head. "She's just impartial. Well, except for Quidditch."

Hermione nodded confidently, "That's what a good dean is! With me and Basil here, this year's house cup will definitely belong to us!"

The students around looked over in surprise, but this did not include the first-year students.

In fact, Hermione had almost searched the entire train by helping Neville find Rafe.

Whenever she sees students who look like freshmen, she will take the opportunity to check out their level.

By the way, I would like to mention with a sense of superiority that she has successfully cast all the spells in the textbook.

Basil didn't know that Hermione had attracted so much hatred.

In front of some Slytherin snakes, he relied on Granger's last name and arrogant demeanor to scare them away.

He thought Hermione saw the value of his wandless, silent stunning spell.

So, he turned to the ghost and asked, "Is there any allusion to this? I mean Quidditch."

The ghost looked awkwardly at Professor McGonagall who was sitting in the guest of honor seat, but the curious and admiring looks from the surrounding students made his mouth open and close automatically.

"I know that. In fact, I saw it with my own eyes."

But his voice was muffled.

Because the sorting was over, Professor McGonagall picked up the sorting hat and left.

Dumbledore stood up, gave a short, formulaic speech, and his signature "Fool! Snivel! Scum! Screw!"
After sitting down,

The entire auditorium immediately burst into thunderous applause.

In the blink of an eye, the empty golden plate on the table was filled with food.
