Chapter 13: The Sorting Ceremony Begins
There were nine people seated in the professorship, and Professor McGonagall went back to pick up the first-year Hogwarts students after bringing them to the Great Hall.
Hagrid wasn't there, and Lin Daodao vaguely remembered that Hagrid seemed to be in the professor's seat as well.
So in addition to Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, there is also Professor Flitwick in the Charms class, and Professor Binns in charge of the history of magic course. Lin Daodao looked left and right when he sat down to the professor's hope, Professor Flitwick on the left, Professor Binns on the right, and even Professor Flitwick nodded to him in a friendly way.
However, Lin Daodao paid the most attention to a woman who looked chattering, although she had to wear an extremely elegant black robe because of the opening ceremony, but Lin Daodao could see that the woman in front of her was full of fanaticism.
Sybil Trelawney, the only prophecy professor at Hogwarts. Although her predictions seem ridiculous, it must be mentioned that it was this godly woman who predicted the fate of Voldemort and Harry Potter without any information, eleven years ago.
Therefore, Lin Daodao's attention to Professor Sybil is even more important than Dumbledore, although Dumbledore is a powerful magician, and Dumbledore is much stronger than Professor Sybil in terms of strength.
Of course, also sitting in the professor's chair was a grim-looking Severus Snape, who was touching his chin and not knowing what to write. As for Professor Quirrell next to him, he held his hands in front of his chest, and his eyes were a little panicked, like a frightened kitten.
Lin Daodao sat in the middle of this group of people, although there was still a speech session next, but it would have to wait until the freshmen were divided into colleges. So Lin Daodao remained silent after sitting down until the door of the auditorium was opened again.
"Now, in a single row," Professor McGonagall's voice came from the auditorium doorway, "follow me." ”
The Great Hall of Hogwarts is indeed full of fantasy colors, even Lin Daodao has been living in the other world and is used to seeing magical objects, but the moment he enters the Great Hall, he can't help but be attracted by the decoration of the Great Hall. What's more, the first-year freshman in front of him, Lin Daodao clearly saw Hermione and two little boys walking together in the crowd, and one of the little boys with eyes raised his head and muttered to himself.
"There are spells cast here, and they look like the sky outside, I read about it in a school history at Hogwarts. ”
Watching Hermione whisper to the others, Lin Daodao could guess what Hermione was talking about without even prophecy. This little girl was too hardworking, but she was just as competitive, and that was enough to get her into Gryffindor.
There was silence all around, and the students at the four long tables in the entire auditorium stared expectantly at the freshmen in the middle of the auditorium.
Everyone here will be assigned to the academy that suits him, so any one of these people has the potential to become their own junior. Therefore, although the next sorting ceremony had nothing to do with this group of seniors, everyone still maintained an extremely strong enthusiasm and set their eyes on the new students not far away.
But the attention clearly made the group of freshmen even more worried, and Lin Daodao sat in the professor's chair, clearly seeing Hermione taking a deep breath in the crowd.
Even Hermione was already scared like this, let alone the other freshmen.
Suddenly, when Lin Daodao raised his head, he suddenly found that Hermione was looking straight at him, with some doubts and worries in his eyes.
Lin Daodao blinked and smiled, and even gave Hermione a reassuring smile while ensuring that his range of movements would not be too large. Hermione was relieved, and Professor McGonagall, who had just arrived to prepare for the sorting ceremony, came back, carrying a three-legged stool in one hand and a must-wear hat in the other.
Professor McGonagall placed the stool in front of the freshman, then placed the worn wizard's hat on the three-legged stool.
Under the gaze of the new students, the hat twisted, and then gradually cracked a slit, like the mouth of the hat.
What's more, after the hat has a long mouth, it actually sings to itself.
You may think I'm not pretty,
But don't judge people by their appearance,
If you can find a more beautiful hat than mine,
I can eat myself.
You can make your bowler hat jet black and shiny,
Make your high-capped caps smooth and crisp,
I'm a Hogwarts test hat,
Naturally, they are taller than your hats.
None of the thoughts hidden in your mind can escape the golden eyes of the devil's hat,
Put it on and try it, and I'll tell you,
Which college should you be assigned to?
You may belong to Gryffindor,
There is bravery buried in the bottom of my heart,
Their boldness, their courage and their boldness,
Make the Gram more outstanding;
You may belong to Hufflepuff,
The people there are upright and faithful,
Hufflepuff students are stoic and honest,
Not afraid of hard labor;
If you have a head
Perhaps the old Ravenclaw will enter wisdom,
Those who are wise and learned,
There will always be their fellow believers;
Maybe you'll get into Slytherin,
Maybe you make sincere friends here,
But those who are cunning will stop at nothing,
to achieve their purpose.
Put me on! Don't be afraid!
Don't panic!
In my hands
You are absolutely safe
Because I'm a thinking hat!
After the Magic Hat finished singing, the audience applauded, and the Magic Hat bowed to the four tables one by one, and then stood still.
Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, a roll of parchment in her hand.
"Whoever I call by name will put on his hat and sit on a stool and wait for the Sorting House. ”
"The first, Hannah Abbot. ”
Lin Daodao stared at the parchment in Professor McGonagall's hand with a confident smile, and sure enough, after a few moments, Professor McGonagall said loudly.
"Hannah Abbott. ”
A ruddy-faced little girl with two blonde braids stumbled out of the queue and put on a hat that just covered her eyes.
The little girl looked extremely nervous, and the moment she put on her hat, she closed her eyes as if she had already begun to pray.
"Hufflepuff!" the hat proclaimed.
The people at the table on the right applauded Hannah and welcomed her to their table.
Lin Daodao glanced at Dumbledore without a trace, he didn't have any emotion at the moment, although there was a warm smile on his face, but it was obvious that he had such a smile on his face when he saw everyone reborn.
"Susan Pence. ”
After the first girl went down, Professor McGonagall chose to continue with the sorting ceremony. Another little girl ran out of the crowd, and heard the Sorting Hat shout again.
"Hufflepuff. ”
There was another cheer from the Hufflepuff Academy table, and Lin Daodao looked at the happy expressions of the Hufflepuff group, and the desire to complain in his heart could not be suppressed.
