Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

"The last person to do this was Harry Potter."

Neville was stunned.

Although Neville had been stunned when Malfoy pulled him into the principal's office, he realized that he could be even more surprised when he heard Malfoy say this.

"I believe you, Neville, you are a true Gryffindor!"

Malfoy never mentioned that he had chosen Ginny, then rushed to the side of the room, reached out and took down the Sorting Hat from the shelf.

"Give!"

Neville took the Sorting Hat with trembling hands and placed it on the table.

"Neville?"

Malfoy watched Neville's actions and sighed helplessly. He looked at the door again.

Malfoy was relieved that Snape didn't stand there with a sullen look on his face.

Then he remembered that Potions class would take up at least two hours, and he felt better.

"Neville, the most important thing in Gryffindor is courage, you can't be intimidated!"

Neville nodded, his voice trembling even as he spoke: "But I..."

Malfoy sighed helplessly: "You are standing here now, and you are already the most amazing person among all Gryffindors."

This sentence seemed to give Neville a little confidence, and he reached out and raised the sorting hat.

Then Neville threw his hat back on the table.

"impossible!"

"I'm scared now!"

Malfoy shook his head helplessly: "There is nothing to be afraid of. It will take a few hours for Snape to come back from class!"

"Don't be afraid, take your time."

Neville shook his head: "I've never been a Gryffindor!"

"The Sorting Hat asked me to go to Hufflepuff in the first place!"

Malfoy was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Neville picked up his hat: "Tell him it's true."

"I can't possibly be recognized by Gryffindor..."

At this moment, the Sorting Hat really spoke as Neville hoped.

"At that time I did feel that Hufflepuff was the best match for you, Neville Longbottom."

The Sorting Hat laughed: "But after all, you are very persistent, I think there is nothing wrong with Gryffindor."

"Now you have proven yourself, Longbottom. After all, anyone who can sneak into the principal's office is extremely courageous. You know, in the past, when old Gryffindor saw a student sneaking in, he would just kill him with one sword."

Neville trembled: "What?"

The Sorting Hat nodded: "Of course, to avoid future troubles. At that time, there were many Muggle spies among the students."

Neville and Malfoy were stunned.

"Are you serious about killing people?"

The Sorting Hat smiled: "That's not important, I digressed again."

"Anyway, brave Longbottom, you can try it now."

"You're pretty brave by my standards."

"As for old Gryffindor being dissatisfied..."

"Let me tell you a secret."

"Actually, except for Gryffindor, every principal can set standards. Generally speaking, their requirements are much lower than those of the stubborn ones."

Neville was stunned for a moment: "Your name is Gryffindor?"

Malfoy was about to collapse: "That's not important!"

"Neville!"

"Hurry up and get the sword!"

Neville shakily reached into the Sorting Hat.

Then he let out a scream.

Malfoy's heart went cold almost instantly.

He forgot one thing.

If Snape had already known about the existence of the Sword of Gryffindor: According to what the Sorting Hat just said, Snape automatically knew this after becoming the new Headmaster of Hogwarts, then Snape would never Forgot to set a safeguard.

Like some vicious trap.

Malfoy felt cold all over at the thought that Neville might be injured or even die because of his adventure.

"Neville!"

Then Neville took his hand out of the Sorting Hat.

At that moment, both Malfoy and Neville were stunned.

"Neville...you..."

Malfoy almost jumped.

"Success!"

In Neville's hand was a shining silver sword with a ruby ​​inlaid on the hilt. It was Gryffindor's sword.

Malfoy let out a long breath: "Let's go!"

Neville shook his head: "Wait!"

"Put the Sorting Hat back where it belongs."

Malfoy slapped his forehead and quickly put the Sorting Hat back.

When the Sorting Hat was in Malfoy's hand, he still looked at him and smiled: "You were shocked, weren't you? My pranks are the best!"

Malfoy reluctantly ignored the Sorting Hat's words and put it back in its place.

Then he turned around and ran out of the principal's office with Neville.

…

When the two returned to the secret base together, they leaned against the wall, breathing heavily, and remained motionless for a long time.

After a long time, Ginny came back here after class was over. She glanced at Malfoy and Neville who looked so exhausted that they were about to fall to the ground: "What's wrong with you?"

Neville put the sword in his hand on the table with a tired look on his face.

Ginny was stunned for a moment: "Where did you steal it from?"

Malfoy smiled tiredly: "Headmaster's Office."

Ginny looked at Malfoy and then at Neville in shock: "What did you do?"

Neville shook his head and slumped in his chair.

Ginny reached out and touched the hilt of the sword: "What on earth is this?"

Malfoy sighed longly: "Gryffindor's sword."

Ginny retracted her fingers from the sword as if she was electrocuted.

"What?"

Malfoy smiled: "Neville, we should find a new hiding place."

"And I can't go to the next Potions class either."

Neville hesitated: "Maybe Snape didn't want to do anything to us?"

Malfoy smiled helplessly.

He began to wonder if his desperate efforts to cheer Neville on in order to successfully obtain the Sword of Gryffindor had given Neville some illusion.

"I'm afraid Snape won't be as good-tempered now as before. This is Gryffindor's sword!"

Neville nodded: "But do you really think that a Slytherin or the Death Eater who murdered Dumbledore can really pass the test of Gryffindor?"

"I don't think there's any way Snape knew the sword was missing from his hat."

Malfoy was stunned for a moment.

Then he shook his head: "I don't know."

"That's something you Gryffindors need to consider."

Ginny looked at Malfoy with a confused expression, then at Neville: "What are you talking about?"

"You can get Gryffindor's sword by passing Gryffindor's test?"

"Who passed the Gryffindor test?"

Malfoy pointed helplessly at Neville: "I'm a Slytherin."

Ginny looked at Neville, her expression changing from confusion to shock, and finally to complete disbelief.

"Are you kidding? Are you all crazy?"
