The White Lord Professor at Hogwarts

"Starry sky pie? Eel jelly? Welsh cheese? Or... haggis pudding?" Flot stood at the door of the principal's office with a confused look on his face.

"Hey, brother! I warned you, guess the special recipe!" A blobstone beast shouted.

"You may be right, brother," Ricardo shrugged, "but I really can't guess, and now, my mind is in chaos, as if there is a song singing on a loop."

"Does that song involve a recipe?" another gargoyle asked suddenly.

"Yes. It's just the language of the Celestial Empire."

"Then let's sing it, maybe there's the answer we want in it?"

"...Are you sure? There's no English dining there."

"It's okay," they all said together, "our password has nothing to do with British recipes."

"Really?" Ricardo tilted his head and showed an embarrassed smile.

"bring it on!"

"We are no longer afraid!"

At this time, the brothers did not realize the seriousness of the situation.

"Then I sang..."

Ricardo cleared his throat and recited in an inexplicable mysterious tone and elegant accent:

"Xiaolongbao, barbecued pork buns, custard and sesame bean paste buns, large meat buns, vegetable buns, and soup dumplings..."

"Merlin's beard! What are you doing?!"

"For the first time in a thousand years I'm hungry!"

"Also, what's the matter with this devilish tone?! My empty mind is filled with such echoes!"

"Wake up, Literdu, you have no brain!"

"Okay, I'm not awake anymore."

The dripstone beast discussed for a long time, and then said in a reluctant tone:

"Friend, let's just pretend that you guessed it. I think what you recited is really terrifying, don't you think so, Ciri?"

"I think this content is quite good. Last time, the key keeper also forgot the password and ended up guessing here for a long time, but - Merlin's beard! He memorized almost all the creatures in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" Once again, I almost vomited!"

The gargoyle who asked shuddered: "Well, that is indeed an unbearable memory. However, that guy did not memorize Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them so magically."

"Congratulations, man, you are the first wizard in thousands of years to force us to open the door."

"Also, food mint. Principal Dumbledore has become interested in food recently and even secretly ate Mrs. Norris's catnip."

The two monsters at the door jumped aside and Ricardo walked in.

"Long time no see, man." The Sorting Hat looked particularly happy to see him. "It's been really uncomfortable to stay in the office for two months."

"Really?" Ricardo said in an uncertain tone, "I think this is a kind of enjoyment. You know, it helps people empty their brains and think about things they didn't have time to think about before..."

"Oh man, that's you! And how do you know what that feels like!"

"Is that so? Maybe." Ricardo did not refute the Sorting Hat's opinion. After all, he had been living at home for thousands of years, so he might really be tired of it.

"How about I steal you out in a few days?" he suggested. "I just need to study ancient magic. By the way, do you know who among the founders of Hogwarts is good at soul magic?"

"Well..." the sorting hat thought for a moment, and finally shook the tip of his hat, "Soul magic... no dean deliberately learned it. Godric Gryffindor even said that it is better to learn this kind of thing. Sword tacking is useful.”

"Salazar Slytherin does have some friendship with a master of soul magic, but they usually communicate through letters."

"Not even Ms. Rowena interested?"

"Oh, Rowena Ravenclaw, I learned from her daughter after she met Merlin for unforeseen reasons, but I basically couldn't see her at that time."

"……OK then."

Ricardo had no regrets, after all, he bit off more than he could chew, and he just wanted to understand the experience of his predecessors.

"By the way, have you thought of any interesting lyrics today?" The Sorting Hat suddenly became energetic again, "I think my ancient brain needs some inspiration from you."

"Isn't this good..." Ricardo looked hesitant.

"Are you afraid of Dumbledore?" The Sorting Hat became anxious, "No, no, no, this shouldn't be what you look like!"

"If you can avoid causing trouble, don't cause trouble, I think."

"When it's done, I'll help you find Rowena Ravenclaw's experience!" the Sorting Hat gritted his teeth.

"you sure?"

"I promise to keep myself clean for thousands of years!"

"You have the nerve to say that you have been single for a thousand years..."

"Plus Salazar Slytherin's letter! I'll try to find it, and I should be able to figure out where to put it!"

"I have decided that those who do not cause trouble are mediocre people!" Ricardo said righteously.

……

Ricardo placed the sorting hat in the center of the hall. Everyone was staring at the hat without saying a word.

Suddenly, Ricardo raised his hand, magic was activated, and a fierce prelude sounded in the hall.

It was a dull sound of percussion. Soon, the sound of percussion became fast and complex, light and heavy. It felt chaotic at first, but as I listened, it felt textured, as if there was a collision of metal. It makes people shake their legs - oh no, their blood is boiling.

Lockhart's eyes almost popped out of his head.

Professor Sprout looked dumbfounded.

Flitwick almost laughed out loud.

All the students sitting here nodded as if they had expected it.

Dumbledore looked meaningfully at Ricardo, who was casting spells without a wand, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, the hat twisted, its tip moved, and swayed to the rhythm. Soon, it sang:

"In Hogwarts you study,

Sorting Hat My body can carry potential abilities,

Decide which world you are suitable for,

Come on I will give you a special surprise,
