"Hufflepuff, 10 points!"

Looking at the chaotic little wizards, Professor McGonagall's lips trembled with anger, and there was a cold anger in her voice.

"Miss Elena Caslana, take your seat at once. ”

In the foyer, a huge hourglass filled with diamonds swayed slightly—it was Hufflepuff's House Hourglass.

Next to it, three other hourglasses of the same size are lined up, each with gems of different colors at the top, indicating the college they represent.

According to common sense, after the teacher's deduction order is given, the corresponding number of gems will automatically fly under the hourglass back to the top, but since the school has just started, Hufflepuff has not yet earned points, so it is only a little shaky. Elena had to rejoice that the concept of negative numbers was not involved in the teaching of mathematics at Hogwarts, otherwise she would have been the beginning of the house sinners.

Facing the cold and stern gaze of the vice principal, the silver-haired little Lori chose to retreat strategically very rationally, did not continue to die, obediently walked down the steps, and joined the side of the long table in Hufflepuff Academy amid the applause and cheers of the students.

"Now, according to my list, ...... in turn"

Professor McGonagall stepped forward quickly, pursed her lips, glanced sharply at the first-year students who were holding their wands in a circle, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm.

"Forget it, everyone introduces their name to the whole school in turn, and then puts on their hats. Also, put away your wands!"

The young wizards looked at Professor McGonagall with a grim face, then turned to look at the silver-haired girl on the Hufflepuff table who was waving at them, and nodded cautiously.

The next moment, a girl with wavy brown hair and a boy with pale blonde hair walked out of the queue at about the same time, reaching for the sorting hat in front of Professor McGonagall.

"Hmm, uh-huh......"

The girl let out a nasal sound, and became tactful and cheerful as the pale blonde boy gave in, picked up the Sorting Hat, turned to face all the students, took a deep breath, and introduced herself loudly, while putting it on vigorously.

"Hi, my name is Hermione Granger. ”

"Gryffindor!" screamed almost as soon as the hat hit the top of the girl's head.

Perhaps because everyone hadn't reacted to it at first, or for some other reason, Hermione was cheering louder than Elena joining Hufflepuff.

The Gryffindor students stood up and clapped their hands as if they had received some great honor.

"Well done!"

"See, the second one is Gryffindor!"

"Actually, I think Elena is more like Gryffindor. ”

Hermione clenched her fists hard, she had never thought she would have the courage to introduce herself alone in front of so many people, she took a deep breath and took off her hat, handing the sorting hat to Draco Malfoy next to her.

"Well, hello everyone, my name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy. ”

Draco looked up a little nervously, swallowed, and walked up the steps, hesitated a little and shouted out the same loudly, putting on his hat as usual.

"Slytherin!" the hat shouted quickly.

"Hi, my name is Harry Potter. ”

"Gryffindor!"

"Hi, my name is Ron Weasley. ”

"Gryffindor!"

......

With the children in front of me as role models, the subsequent progress became extraordinarily smooth.

There were so many things that happened tonight that even Harry's introduction was much less of a sensation, which made Harry, who had been a little worried, relieved that no one wanted to be watched like a zoo animal at any time.

Although some of the freshmen were a little shy, they finally mustered up the courage to introduce themselves with the encouragement of everyone.

So much so that in the end, even Professor McGonagall, who had been silent, looked a lot better.

For her standing on the sidelines, there are actually more changes that can be seen, such as the overall activity of the freshmen after joining their respective colleges is obviously much higher than that of previous years, which can be regarded as one of the few advantages in the chaos.

Soon, to a round of applause, the last freshman put down his sorting hat and stumbled towards his house.

Professor McGonagall took a deep look at the smiling silver-haired Lori in the crowd, shook her head, put away the quadrangular stool and sorting hat, and left the center of the auditorium. Although the final result looks good, from her point of view, she still hopes that there will be no such accidents in the future.

"Wow, Sister Elena, you looked so cool just now. ”

Hannah, who wore two blonde braids, touched Elena with her shoulder and said adoringly, she never thought she would have the courage to threaten the Sorting Hat or shout her name out to the whole school.

"Oh, that's nothing, you'll get used to it later. ”

Elena was slightly stunned, and subconsciously replied, at this time she was staring intently at the golden plate in front of her in a daze.

As usual, after Dumbledore utters the strange "Stupid, crying nose, scraps, screw!", the Hogwarts dinner will officially begin, and the house-elves will quickly fill all the empty plates as far as her eye can see, and she can't wait to taste the legendary Hogwarts lavish opening feast.

- You know, although the children in the orphanage have been enjoying the Hogwarts food in advance for the past month, it is only the minimum standard of food after all, and it is definitely different from the food after the actual school starts. According to the original description, it is a happy life of poverty and luxury, which is rich enough to eat one and lose one.

Sure enough, after Professor McGonagall reappeared in the auditorium, Albus Dumbledore, who had returned to the faculty seat, stood up, tapped the glass lightly, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then spoke in Elena's expectant eyes.

"Tonight, a lot has happened, and everyone must be hungry. Dumbledore glanced around at the students' faces, lingering on Elena's face for a few seconds before continuing.

"First of all, welcome to Hogwarts to start the new school year!" Dumbledore said, his tone gradually becoming serious, "but I hope you will be patient for a few more minutes and listen to me say the following." ”

Huh?!

The smile on Elena's face fell, she blinked her eyes in confusion, and a sense of foreboding rose in her heart, this seems to be different from what is written in the script!

"You heard it right, Hogwarts Castle was mortgaged to Gringotts. If the payment is not made on time, the castle will nominally belong to Gringotts before the start of next year's school year. ”

There was a nervous whisper in the Great Hall, although everyone vaguely understood what was happening based on the previous conversation between Fudge, LaGrass, and the elves, but hearing Dumbledore admit it was a different meaning for everyone.

Everyone stared at Dumbledore in panic and disbelief, expecting to hear some good news from him.

"As a member of Hogwarts, I think each of you has the right to know what the school is facing. Dumbledore continued, "The Ministry of Magic, the Board of Trustees, the professors of the school, and every zealous wizard in the wizarding world will find a way to get through this together. In the meantime, I hope that all students can focus on their studies and not add more pressure to professors and parents. At this moment, everyone works together to tide over the difficulties. ”

Dumbledore had always believed that it was always better to tell the truth than to lie, and he believed that it was more respectful and sensible to put all the difficulties in front of everyone than to let the students think about it in a veiled way. At least then the whole school will be extra united, and there won't be too much chaos.

At this time, every immature face facing Dumbledore in the Great Hall was written with seriousness and solemnity, and even the freshmen who had just finished the sorting house nodded their heads very seriously, staring at Dumbledore nervously.

In addition, after preliminary deliberation by all the faculty and the board of directors, it was decided that in the next year, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will reduce some of the more wasteful expenses, including the number of ingredients for three meals, the supply of clothing for each department, and so on. The specific charter will be announced in the course of the week. ”

Bang dang~

"Oh no!" the spoon in Elena's hand fell limply on the empty plate, her eyes full of shock and fear, and her mouth let out a wail like that of a wounded little beast.

"Of course, today's opening banquet will not make a difference. Dumbledore smiled heartily, "Don't worry, I can guarantee that Hogwarts isn't poor enough for everyone to starve." ”

"Anyway, thank you! Let's go!" Dumbledore clapped his palms, and the plates in front of everyone were instantly filled with all kinds of food.

But even though Dumbledore said this, almost all the students still looked at the plate in front of them with a heavy heart, as if it was the last meal of their lives, even if it was all the food they missed for a holiday: roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding, pea sprouts, carrots, gravy, ketchup......

Well, Elena is an exception, and from the moment the food appears in front of her, she no longer feels sorry for the "hearty" meal that is about to disappear.

I saw that the girl pinched her fork and poked the roast beef in front of her with a little disgust, and her eyes slowly moved from the [Potato Platter] on the table to the [Boiled Home-cooked Vegetables], and sighed silently - if she wanted to seek delicious food in the UK, did she make a mistake?

Sure enough, I still have to be self-reliant.
