Chapter:3

Solim removed his chest from the shelf, and pressed the ring on his right hand to the card slot on the box. "Click" Then Solim's right hand spun like a lock, and the lid of the box was flipped.

"It's... Stairs?" Hermione stared at the scene in front of her with wide eyes, she couldn't understand why Solim opened the box and there was a staircase going down. It was clear that this new witch who had just come into contact with the wizarding world could not yet comprehend the scene in front of her.

"Come on, Neville, and ... Well, Hermione. Solim looked at Hermione as she was fussing, and almost called out the nickname she had given her.

Solim then took the lead and stepped over the box and down the stairs.

"Oh my God, what is this? How is this done? Why is there such a big space in your box? God, that's a bookshelf, so many books!, and there's a door there. Miss Granger looked at everything in front of her and was stunned.

Standing on the stairs reveals everything below: a space of at least eighty square meters, and four rows of tall bookshelves filled with books on the left side of the staircase. Near the corner of the wall there is a place that is clearly used to read books. On the right side of the staircase is a four-poster bed with a gauze tent, and a closed door not far away.

"A permanent Traceless Stretching Charm, alright, don't talk about that yet," Solim interrupted Hermione's question, "Hermione, please don't tell anyone about my chest." "

Solim led the two down the stairs to the bookshelf area on the left, as it was the only place with tables and chairs.

"Alright, sit down," Solim beckoned them to sit down, "you're welcome, good black tea." "

There were just three cups of black tea on the table in front of the three of them.

A good house-elf should be like this: prepare everything beforehand.

"Neville, I know your grandmother wants you to be jnyGryffindor, but what do you think?" Solim looked at Neville.

"I ... I want to be like my parents. Neville fiddled with his hands - Solim told Neville to put the toad in the box, and the door was locked for Solim to lock up, and he couldn't get out anyway.

"Neville, I hope it's your own thoughts, not the pressure your grandmother put on you to make this choice, you know?"

"I know, but ... But I, I mean... I'm afraid I won't be able to get into Gryffindor, I know I'm cowardly, I'm worried ..." Neville looked like he was about to cry.

Hermione looked at Solim and Neville, not understanding what the two were saying.

"You can decide that you want to go to Gryffindor, and when the time comes, just tell the Sorting Hat that you want to go to Gryffindor". Solim took a sip of his tea, "Don't worry, you'll be in Gryffindor, after all, you meet the requirements." "

"Excuse me, Solim, what are you talking about by the Sorting Hat?" Hermione felt that if she didn't speak any more, Neville was going to suffocate herself.

"Sorting hat, what else can you do, for the new wizard to sort out." Solim looked at Hermione with a look of course, "Bring it with you at the sorting ceremony, and it will tell you which house you're sorted into." "

"Tell that the Sorting Hat to be sorted into the house you want?" Hermione was a little puzzled, if the Sorting Hat was divided according to her own wishes, then what did the Sorting Hat do. Isn't that redundant?

"Not exactly, the Sorting Hat will assign young wizards to the best house for them. Solim began to explain to Hermione and Neville.

Neville is not smart, timid and a little cowardly, and it looks like Hufflepuff is where he belongs. What about the facts? Neville's hidden courage led the Sorting Hat to put him in Gryffindor. But don't forget, Neville is also a full-blood, so Slytherin is okay after all, Goyle and Crabbe can do it. It's just that Neville himself never thought about Slytherin. So the houses Neville can go to are Gryffindor and Hufflepuff and Slytherin. At this time, the personal wishes of the little wizard are very important. That's why Solim told Neville to tell the Sorting Hat to go to Gryffindor.

"I see, that is, if a young wizard can choose his own academy when he has a choice, right?".

"Yes, that's the way it is, and Hogwarts A History doesn't make it all clear. Solim said with a glance at an excited Hermione.

"And what house are you going to go to? Ravenclaw?" Hermione thought it must be a Ravenclaw based on the few hands Solim showed in the box.

"No, I'll go into Slytherin". Solim knew that Hermione would be yelling next, but he said it anyway.

"Slytherin, I've heard that there are evil dark wizards out there, why do you want to go there?" Hermione's eyes changed when she heard that Solim was going to Slytherin.

"Seriously, Hermione, I'm really curious to know where you, a little Muggle-born witch" heard all this nonsense. Solim knew Hermione would say that, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Indeed, Voldemort was just as famous, just as Dumbledore was. When people think of Gryffindor, the first thing that comes to mind is the famous and well-known head of the International Federation of Wizards, the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, the recipient of the Order of Merlin, and the headmaster of Hogwarts: Albus Percival, Woolfrick, Brian Dumbledore. But when it comes to Slytherin, what wizards are there in Slytherin?

Voldemort, the mystery man, the most terrifying dark wizard of all time. Of course, the word "ever" can be removed, as can the word "most terrifying".

As a ... of this special pure-blood family of Selvin As an illegitimate child, Solim was able to learn a lot of history that ordinary wizards didn't know, as well as historical figures. He could be sure that Voldemort was neither the most terrifying Dark wizard of all time.
