Chapter 109: Curious Alita
Pikachu, who finished his ultimate, immediately sat down and looked sick.
"Pickup!" it called out weakly.
Canaan hurriedly stepped forward to take Pikachu in his arms and dried its damp tail with his wand, "Thank you, Pikachu!"
"It's incredible!" Roger said as he covered his mouth, incredulous. He didn't expect the cute Pikachu to be able to release such a powerful thunderbolt, he always thought that Pikachu was an ordinary pet.
Many young wizards also looked at Pikachu who had saved them just now with curiosity, and the way it was so powerful was really unforgettable!
At this moment, Professor McGonagall and several other professors arrived on broomsticks.
She looked at the mess on the surface of the lake, and then at the freshmen who were not seriously damaged, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Hagrid, what happened?"
"Professor, here's the situation..."Hagrid surrounded them with a lot of color, and finally when it came to the crisis, Pikachu told them all about saving them.
"I'm sorry, Hagrid, but this was our negligence, I've been working with Dumbledore on the freshman business, so I'm just here now. After hearing this, Professor McGonagall looked guilty. She hadn't expected the merfolk who had been at peace with Hogwarts to attack the freshmen, something that had never happened before.
"All freshmen, stay where you are, and your seniors will take you back for the rest of the trip. As for what falls into the lake, we will catch it for you. ”
After reassuring the freshmen, Professor McGonagall flew in front of Canaan.
"Professor McGonagall. Canaan was the first to say hello.
"Canaan, thanks to you this time, Dumbledore said to let you enroll early, I don't understand it yet, now it seems that this is a very shrewd decision. Professor McGonagall said kindly.
She could imagine what would have happened if Canaan wasn't here. The next day, the Daily Prophet will definitely report: "Hogwarts freshmen were attacked by merfolk on their first day of school, and there were heavy casualties!"
If the situation were serious, Hogwarts might be shut down by the Ministry of Magic as a result.
Then she looked at Pikachu in Canaan's arms and smiled slightly, "Although Hogwarts has always forbidden students to keep dangerous magical creatures, I believe that your pet will be an exception, it is a hero today!"
With that, Professor McGonagall flew into the air and said to a witch with short silver hair, "Madame Hooch, I need to inform Dumbledore of the merfolk riot as soon as possible." ”
Not long after Professor McGonagall left, a group of senior students arrived on broomsticks, and from afar, they occasionally performed dazzling poses in the air to show off their flying skills.
"Robert, Frank, pick up this group of freshmen as soon as possible, if something happens, I will definitely deduct your house points!" Mrs. Hooch said sternly.
"Of course, Professor!" After hearing the reprimand, a group of people immediately became serious, began to lower their altitude, flew down, and then took charge of the new students one-on-one.
It's just that Robert is still hovering at a low altitude, searching for something among the freshmen. Until he saw Canaan holding Pikachu, his eyes lit up and he flew down quickly.
"Hi Canaan, you're here. It seems that Verus did not lie to us, you really came to Hogwarts! My name is Robert, the prefect of Lawencrowe. Robert excitedly introduced himself.
"Hello Robert, nice to meet you. ”
"Haha, you're mine, come on my broomstick. He exclaimed excitedly.
However, his voice was a little louder, which immediately attracted the attention of many people around him.
"Canaan Blaine?"
"Brian is enrolled, and where is he?"
"Damn, he's at Robert's, this guy wants to eat alone!"
"Can't let him get his way!"
Many senior seniors and seniors threw away the freshmen they were in charge of just now and flew to Canaan's side in a swarm, leaving only the freshmen with a confused face.
Looking at the enthusiastic seniors and seniors, Canaan smiled helplessly. He didn't expect to be so popular at school.
"I'm sorry, guys! I brought my own broomstick. With that, Canaan had no choice but to take out the broomstick of the light wheel 1700 from the storage bag.
At this time, Mrs. Huo Qi flew over and roared angrily: "What are you still doing here, hurry up and take charge of the new students, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with the entrance ceremony!"
Seeing the angry professor, everyone dispersed.
"Canaan, are you sure you can use a broomstick?" asked Lady Hooch, looking at Canaan again, a little uneasy.
She is a professor of flying lessons, and she knows that freshmen who have never taken flying lessons may not be able to safely control a broomstick.
"Professor Huo Qi, don't worry, I've been practicing for a long time before. Canaan said confidently.
Madame Hodge nodded, she knew that Canaan was not an ordinary little wizard, and after listening to Hagrid's description just now, Canaan might be more powerful than her. Such a genius little wizard cannot be judged by common sense.
Still, she plans to fly by Canaan's side to avoid accidents.
"Can I ride your broomstick?" Alita asked softly as she suddenly came to Canaan's side.
Canaan was a little surprised, his eyes kept looking at Alita, and the little girl's face was slightly red.
It wasn't until he was sure that Alita and him combined wouldn't weigh more than the broomstick's carrying weight that he nodded and said, "No problem." ”
Roger made Madame Hodge's broomstick, and Rove sat on Robert's broomstick.
"I dare say that there has never been a class of freshmen who have been able to meet mermaid riots and enjoy the first-class service of their seniors like you. Robert teased with a laugh.
"Then we're pretty lucky. Rove shrugged helplessly.
The group rode away on broomsticks, leaving Hagrid alone, a group of messy wooden boats, and a bunch of dead fish on their white bellies.
"Why is your spell so powerful?" Alita asked curiously on the broomstick.
"The precision of the spell, the frequency with which the wand is shaken when casting, and the magic in our bodies all affect the power of the spell. Canaan explained slowly.
"And which point are you?"
"Both!"
"Can you teach me?" Alita continued.
"The professors at Hogwarts will teach you, they are much more knowledgeable than I am. Canaan politely declined.
"Oh!"
......
By the time they felt the Great Hall of the Citadel, it had been decorated with splendor.
The seniors quickly took their seats, leaving the new students in the middle aisle.
Dumbledore tapped the silver cup and said, "Welcome to this new class!"
The audience applauded thunderously.
"Just now, the freshmen experienced a very thrilling encounter, but fortunately no one was injured in this incident. I apologize to all of you!" With that, Dumbledore stood up and bowed to the freshman.
"Of course, there were also little wizards who made mistakes in this incident, and little wizards who behaved very bravely. Dumbledore glanced at Canaan in the crowd before adding, "I'll reward them as appropriate after they've assigned the house!"
"Now, begin our sorting ceremony!"
Professor McGonagall then walked slowly to the front of the stage, pulling out a worn-out black hat and a long piece of parchment.
"I'll pronounce your names, be called by name, come up, put on your hat and sit down and wait for the assignment. ”
Some of the young wizards breathed a sigh of relief, and Canaan heard someone whisper, "Is this the Sorting Ceremony?" Didn't George say he was going to fight the dragon?"
"Hell, he must have lied to us. ”
"I'm George, I didn't say it, Fred must have lied to you!"
......
"Quiet!" Dumbledore rang the silver cup again, restoring order.
Professor McGonagall looked at the parchment with her amber eyes and pronounced the first name: "Rove Scamander!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Rove bravely walked up.
No sooner had the hat touched Rove's head than the Sorting Hat's big mouth shouted, "Hufflepuff!"
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Rove happily walked to the Hufflepuff table.
"Stikuchi Matthews!"
A boy with short yellow hair walked up.
The Sorting Hat shouted, "Slytherin!"
"Will Anthony Shepili!" Professor McGonagall said a name again.
A boy with long blond hair walked up, glancing at the crowd with a piercing gaze and putting on his Sorting Hat.
Canaan remembered that he was the first freshman to do something to the fishmen.
The Sorting Hat seemed to be a little tangled, "Slytherin is not for you, it will magnify your ambition there, and your clever intellect is more suitable for Ravenclaw." ”
Will frowned, as if arguing with the Sorting Hat, and seemed to disagree with the Sorting Hat's words.
Eventually, the Sorting Hat made up his mind and shouted, "Ravenclaw!"
"Damn broken hats!" Will, angrily throwing the Sorting Hat onto his chair before walking over to the Ravenclaw table.
However, his actions did not win him any applause.
Professor McGonagall shook her head and continued, "George Welles!"
"Gryffindor!"
......
Everything went on as usual, and as the sorting ceremony continued, fewer and fewer people remained in the ranks.
And Roger was also assigned to Ravenclaw, where he least wanted to go.
"Canaan Blaine!" Professor McGonagall smiled at Canaan as she walked up through her glasses.
Canaan's name apparently caught everyone's attention, and countless eyes were on him.
"Brian is really here!"
"I heard that the new wand was designed and completed by him and his teacher. ”
"Brian and I are classmates!"
The crowd in the audience made all kinds of noises.
Professor Snape in the staff seat also sat up straight, looking at the scene with a rare look of expectation.
