The Sorting Hat seemed to fall silent for a brief moment, and it lasted for nearly a minute......

This is not unusual, and for some students who have difficulty deciding, the Sorting Hat takes a little time to think or consult with each other, and it took dozens of seconds for Jon himself to attend the sorting ceremony two years ago.

"Gryffindor!" a minute later, only the Sorting Hat could be heard shouting.

Jon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief......

It's a good thing she wasn't assigned to Hufflepuff, otherwise she might not have been able to study quietly for a year!

The little girl's expression was a little unhappy, and when she arrived at the Gryffindor table, Hermione Granger shook hands with her, she looked sullen.

As the sorting ceremony ended, Professor Dumbledore announced: The banquet is officially open!

On the Hogwarts Express, Jon couldn't eat anything at all, and was a little hungry.

Now, he doesn't hesitate to feast!

While nibbling on a large steak in his mouth, he listened to Ernie McMillan boast over there:

"There's going to be a very intense new event at Hogwarts this year, inside information ......"

On the other side, Zacharis Smith is talking to Cedric Diggory about the World Cup:

"Irish Seeker Linzi is so stupid that he can be teased in the same way twice, Cedric I think you are better than him, I can play with him in five or five......"

......

As the feast ended, Dumbledore began to introduce the school to the first-year students.

For example, the Forbidden Forest is not accessible to students, and the Hogsmeade Village is not allowed to be visited by students under the third grade......

Jon suddenly realized that he was in third grade, and the Hogsmeade admission slip signed by his parents was now in his suitcase, so ...... He could already go to Hogsmeade.

It is the only pure wizarding village in the whole of the United Kingdom, and there is also a rather bustling wizarding street.

What's more, you can freely communicate with the outside world when you get there...... So you don't have to wait until Christmas to advance your plans!

Just as Jon was thinking, the doors of the Great Hall were opened, and Mad-Eye Moody, who had traveled to Hogwarts with them on the train, appeared in the doorway......

He strode into the Great Hall and exchanged a few words with Dumbledore, then sat down in the empty seat of the teacher's chair as he took out his curved jug and took a few sips of its contents.

When Dumbledore introduced Moody as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, he and Hagrid were the only ones in the auditorium to applaud.

"In the coming months, we will be honored to host what has always been a wonderful event, which has not been held for more than a century...... I'm pleased to report that Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year. Dumbledore continued with his previous speech.

"Are you kidding?" shouted some of the students who didn't know the truth.

"Not a joke, of course!" Dumbledore continued, "but since you mentioned joking, I heard a funny joke about a troll, a dominatrix, and a leprechaun, all in the same tavern......"

"Poof......" Jon covered his mouth to keep himself from laughing.

It dawned on him that just half a year earlier on Christmas, Hagrid, McGonagall, and Flitwick had entered Madame Rosmerta's tavern...... So this joke, this principal of his is very black-bellied!

The Hufflepuff students next to him all looked at him with strange eyes.

"Isn't it funny?" asked Hannah Abbott on the other side, curiously.

"Nothing......" Jon quickly hid his smile.

When he looked up, he noticed that Dumbledore's gaze seemed to sweep this way.

Of course, it could also be his delusion!

Professor McGonagall interrupted Dumbledore, and Dumbledore continued to introduce the Triwizard Tournament.

It's a very simple format, with three wizarding schools in Europe: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrand. Each school selects a champion, and then three warriors compete in three magical projects.

The eventual winner will be the winner of the Triwizard Tournament.

In addition, Dumbledore announced that Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would arrive at the school in October, and that students under the age of 17 were forbidden to participate in the high-risk event.

......

Many people seem to be quite unhappy with the latter provision.

Zacharis, for example, shouted menacingly, "Why do I think any student is qualified to represent Hogwarts...... And not just look at age. ”

Jon felt that even if Zacharis was really chosen, he would be scared to pee when he encountered the first challenge dragon.

Cedric...... Cedric's birthday is September, and he'll be 17 years old by then!" someone shouted.

The eyes of countless Hufflepuff students were on Cedric Diggory, and he seemed to be the hope of the whole village.

In fact, the choice of the warriors in the Triwizard Tournament is quite narrow...... Only seventh-graders and a very small number of sixth-graders are allowed to participate.

The proportion of honor students at Hogwarts is selected among these dozens of people, and there are really no outstanding warriors......

Cedric is really one of the few excellent candidates, but unfortunately at the end of this game is not honor, but death!

As Professor Dumbledore declared the feast over, Jon stood up and stretched lazily.

Along with a host of Hufflepuff students, he was on his way back to the Hufflepuff common room.

The chubby, monk-like ghost suddenly flew in front of him, blocking his path.

"What's the matter, monk?" asked Jon in surprise.

Jon...... Professor Dumbledore asked me to send you a message!" The Fat Friar lowered his voice and said, "If you are not sleepy now, you can go to his office, and the password is the same as at the end of last semester." ”
