Draco walked side by side with Phoenix, his hands clenched, extremely nervous. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Rogge deliberately fell behind, and the two seemed to agree that he had something to say to Draco.

But he didn't, just asked Draco how his summer vacation was.

Phoenix they walked through the foyer and into the brightly lit auditorium. There were four college tables in the auditorium, and a faculty table at the top, and the air was decorated as usual with many floating candles, which shone brightly on the plates below. In previous years, this time of year was the time when the auditorium was at its busiest, and a friend who hadn't seen him during the summer vacation always had a lot to say. This year, the auditorium is not as noisy as it used to be, and information and anecdotes are exchanged with each other. Everyone whispered as if it were some great secret.

"Gee, it looks like people are paying attention to the news, not hairstyles and dresses. I am very relieved. Phoenix waved his hand graciously and walked up to Daphne and said.

"Don't play tricks. Daphne pulled him to his chair without mercy. In addition to Professor Slughorn, there is also Professor Bobin. It seems that he finally came back, so he is not welcome, since he is bent on looking for death.

The doors opened, and the auditorium fell silent. Professor McGonagall leads a group of freshmen to the top of the auditorium.

"There are very few new students this year, aren't they?" Daphne whispered.

"It's normal that a lot of people have fled abroad with their families. Phoenix replied in the same whisper.

At the sorting ceremony, the Sorting Hat sang the same song as last year, bringing everyone together to face our enemies and so on.

After giving the Sorting Hat a round of applause, Professor McGonagall unfolded a long piece of parchment.

"Whoever I say is named, sits on a stool and puts on the Sorting Hat," she said solemnly, "and when the hat says the name of the House, go to the corresponding table." ”

"Alfred Bout!"

A boy walked up generously and waved to the other classmates before buttoning up his hat.

"Bet ten gold coins, he's a Gryffindor or a Ravenclaw. Phoenix muttered with his head propped on his hands.

"You're really interested. Daphne said disapprerovingly, stabbing him in the ribs with her hand to make him sit down.

"Gryffindor!" shouted the Sorting Hat.

The boy returned his hat to Professor McGonagall and walked to the Gryffindor table, and the auditorium erupted in applause. Hermione stood up to greet him, and Ron slowed down by half a beat.

The team moved slowly.

After the first Slytherin appeared, Phoenix joined the others in applauding the new students. Patting the freshman sitting next to him, he looked stunned.

The last girl, Anne Susanna, was sorted into Hufflepuff, and the sorting ceremony ended. Quite a few students have already picked up their knives and forks and are ready to start eating and drinking.

Snape stood up behind the faculty table, and the voices echoing in the Great Hall died down almost immediately.

"Good evening everyone, another year of magical education is about to begin, and whether you are old or new, I hope you will strictly follow the school rules," Snape said in a voice slightly above a whisper, but everyone in the auditorium could hear it very clearly, "Students who want to join the house's Quidditch team, report their names to the Dean as usual." We're still looking for a new Quidditch commentator, and those interested in signing up with the Dean. ”

Many wisely put down their knives and forks, and Snape clearly had something to say.

"It's really against tradition for him to do this, let's not eat first and talk later. His stomach growled, but no one dared to complain, even though they were starving.

"This year, we are delighted to welcome two new teachers. Professor Slughorn," Slughorn stood up, his bare head glistening in the candlelight, his waistcoat belly casting a large shadow on the table, "it's my former teacher, who agreed to return to his old duties as Potions teacher and head of Slytherin Head. ”

There was a sparse round of applause in the auditorium, as a considerable number of the students were still holding utensils, except for the Slytherin applause.

- Professor Bobin, who will be the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. Professor Bobin stood, his beard shaved and his tall figure standing out from the faculty seat.

There was less applause this time, maybe everyone thought he was making up for the void temporarily, anyway, the students knew that every year there would be a new teacher in the defense class, and they were a little numb.

Snape's dark eyes swept over all the students.

"Alright, let's have dinner. With a wave of his hand, the golden plate was immediately filled with food.

Phoenix picked up two chicken legs, opened his bow left and right and began to bite, he only ate a bunch of chocolate frogs along the way, and he was already hungry and thirsty.

"That's what I don't like about you, please be gentle. Daphne frowned.

"This thing has a fast hand, but a slow hand—" he said with his mouth full of food, and said indistinctly, "-- I am a carnivore." ”

Phoenix freed his hand and grabbed it in the air. A steak flew over, and a freshman looked at him in amazement, his arms still in a position of holding his food.

Staples and soups are gone, followed by desserts and ice cream.

"I heard that you have become the captain of the team, have you made a training plan?" Brace asked in passing as he got up to get his dessert.

"Don't worry, but don't want to go through the back door. Phoenix was slowly sipping on the chocolate fruit ice cream.

"You're going to do the selection, which is a bit against tradition. ”

Phoenix replied casually.

When the food was gone, the benches were pushed behind them, and there was a cacophony of rubbing sounds, and hundreds of students began to stream out of the auditorium and toward the dormitories.

"Draco, I have something to tell you. You'll wait—" Phoenix stopped Draco as he was returning to the common room.

"Before I go, I have something to say to you little ones, while you all gather together. Phoenix stood with Daphne, "We Slytherins have always been strict with ourselves, knowing what we can and can't do. So in the history of Hogwarts, we have won the most House Cups and Quidditch Championships," a Ravenclaw student booed loudly, "I hope you can keep it up this year." If you can't—"

Most of the first-year freshmen trembled with fear.

"Well, don't listen to his nonsense. First-year students walk this way—" Daphne pushed Phoenix away.

"We have a traitor in Slytherin. Rogge grinned and said, "Aren't we the team that has won the most championships?"

It's only natural that everyone will tout their respective faculties on this issue.

"I just want to make them understand while I have time, the spirit of Slytherin—part of the spirit—well, you follow the big sister to find a place to sleep. It was a freshman who was a freshman, and Daphne was a little annoyed to see that they didn't listen to her at all.

"Follow me. Phoenix said to Draco and walked towards the door of the Great Hall.

He hung his head and clenched his fists, and Crabbe, who was beside him, stabbed him before he got up and followed. (To be continued.) )
