After witnessing Draco Malfoy laughing and leaving in the hallway, he was about to move on, but Holly heard Ron Weasley's high-pitched curses, and seemed to be annoyed by Malfoy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shaking their heads, giving up on the idea of calling their servants out and banging them, Holly and Erinka slowly walked back to the front of the train.

In the prefect's box, the prefects of each academy were also discussing the upcoming competition. By the time they saw that the new Ravenclaw prefect was Holly, almost everyone's jaws dropped to the ground. I don't know what to say if I want to continue the topic, because the topic they discussed before seems to be a little inappropriate for the fourth graders, at least judging from the news that has been leaked so far, the selection of the competition is quite unfavorable for the young wizard.

"Ah, since you're discussing things, I'll go out for a while. Holly said. It seems to understand the embarrassment of the prefects.

When the train slowly slowed down and stopped on the platform, the rain outside still did not slow down. The thunder that sounded from time to time, the pouring rain, and the students who got off the train climbed into the carriage one by one and drove towards the school.

Pass through the gates with winged boar sculptures on both sides and follow the wide road. Under the action of the strong wind, the carriage shook violently, and the lights not far away told everyone sitting in the carriage that the school was not far away.

The carriage stopped at the foot of the steps in front of the oak gate, and one by one the students jumped out of the carriage and ran down the steps into the hall.

The hall was full of little wizards shaking their heads trying to brush the rain out of their hair, and some even twisted their clothes up in sections to try to squeeze out more moisture to keep themselves from getting too wet and making themselves too uncomfortable for the rest of the dinner.

A huge red balloon filled with water falls from the sky and explodes above Ron Weasley's head, perfectly completing the image of another chicken in the soup. One after the other, similar balloons appeared in the air one after another, exploding in various corners of the hall from time to time.

However, these Holly are not aware of this. As a prefect, Holly caught the first carriage to come to campus as soon as he got off the train, instead of getting on the last empty carriage and watching the lights on the carriage in front of him slowly move back to school.

"Well, young ladies and gentlemen, we still have to have another meeting before the start of school, although some of you have attended this meeting before, and some of you have not, but I believe that you are the most capable students recognized by the school teachers and your seniors before you. Dumbledore began his rambling speech in the headmaster's room. "As you know, this term there will be a big event in the school, and this event will last for the whole school, during which students from other schools will come to Hogwarts to study and live with us. No matter what school they come from, I believe they all love life. Of course, I want to tell you all this to prepare you mentally, after all, this year is different from previous years, there will be too much unpredictability, so, ladies and gentlemen, please remember that if there is any suspicious situation or complicated problem this year, please feel free to inform the teachers to help solve it. Of course, you also need to be prepared to help others deal with all kinds of problems. ”

"Well, okay, Professor. Most of the prefects agreed with Dumbledore when they heard Dumbledore's words, and even the two prefects of Slajelin nodded implicitly.

"Well, let's do that for now, I guess...... Your classmates should be in the hall by now, so go join them. Dumbledore got up and saw off the prefects, while Holly followed the others and slowly walked to the chaotic hall to join the Ravenclaw table.

"Hey, Holly. "Cho Chang was passing by the fifth-grade area at Holly and greeted Holly.

"Hi. Holly reluctantly replied, still thinking about what Dumbledore had just said. Damn old bees, who always seem to know what's going to happen, never act ahead of time and fix it.

Instead of going back to the fourth-year area, Holly came to the junction of the third-year and first-year areas and sat down next to Luna. There was going to be a sorting ceremony in a while, and as a prefect, she still had to deal with the first-year bears, and although Holly was reluctant, one Harry Potter would be enough for her to have a headache. In the hall, some of the people were talking about Peeves' teasing of the Potter trio just before they entered the door, and the rest of the conversation was still about the game that seemed mysterious before the project.

As the door of the auditorium opened, the originally noisy hall instantly fell silent. A line of soaking wet first-year students walked to the front of the auditorium under the guidance of Professor McGonagall. The sorting ceremony is about to begin. As always, it's a song sung by the Sorting House.

"That was more than a thousand years ago,

I've just been woven into shape,

There are four famous wizards,

Their names have survived to this day:

Brave Gryffindor, from a barren swamp,

Beautiful Ravenclaw, from the tranquil riverside,

Merciful Hufflepuff, from the open valley,

Shrewd Slytherin, from that quagmire.

They share a dream, a wish,

At the same time there is a bold plan,

To nurture young wizards into talents,

Hogwarts School was founded in this way.

These four great wizards

Everybody builds his own college,

They are in the students they teach

There are different ideas about the talent valued.

Gryffindor believes that the bravest of the people

deserves the highest reward;

Ravenclaw felt that the minds were the smartest

Always the most promising;

Hufflepuff felt that the most diligent and hard-working

to be the most qualified to enter the college;

And power-hungry Slytherins

I like ambitious teenagers the most.

The four great wizards in their living years

personally pick out the proud protégé,

But when they were laid to rest in the Nine Springs,

How do you select the best in the student pool?

It was Gryffindor who came up with the solution,

He plucked me off his head,

The Big Four have all injected me with thoughts,

From now on, it is up to me to pick and evaluate!

Okay, put me on the head,

I've never looked at it,

I want to look at your mind,

Judge which house you belong to!"

After some exclamation, Professor McGonagall unfolded a roll of parchment and shouted the names of the young wizards one by one. Stuart Ackley, the first to be shouted, was assigned to Ravenclaw, and after taking off his hat, the little guy who hurried to the Ravenclaw table was immediately greeted by everyone. After some time, Ola Quelk was also sorted into Ravenclaw, and by the time all the first-year students had found their houses, the main topic of the opening dinner was approaching.

Dumbledore got up from his chair and said, "I only have two words for you - eat." "All sorts of food appeared on every plate on the long table in an instant.

After eating a little to make the hunger in his stomach less intense, Holly put down his knife and fork and prepared to see what Dumbledore would do next. Before the dinner began, Holly saw that Alastor Moody was not sitting in the place of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and he didn't know what was going on.

It wasn't until everyone had eaten their dessert that Dumbledore stood up again, and the hall was instantly silent, except for the howling of the wind and the beating of raindrops.

"Alright," said Dumbledore, "it looks like everyone has eaten and drunk, and I must draw your attention once again, I have a few notices to announce." ”

"Mr. Filch, the caretaker, would like me to tell you that this year, the number of items prohibited in the castle has increased by a few more, and the list now includes four hundred and thirty-seven items, and those who are interested can go to Mr. Filch to see what is going on. "It's a tradition every year that Filch is always the object of the students' teasing, and this list is the result of Filch's confrontation with one level of student after another. "Also, as before, the Forbidden Forest is off-limits, and Hogsmeade is still only accessible to students in the third grade and above. Dumbledore added, "Also, I'm sorry to inform you that this year, the House Cup Quidditch will no longer be held. ”

"What?" said different voices of surprise from all over the hall.

"That's because there's a big event that will start in October and run throughout the school year, and it's going to take up a lot of time and energy from teachers - but I'm sure you'll all have a lot of fun with it, and I'm happy to announce that this year at Hogwarts - "
