Chapter 25: The Sorting Ceremony
It was evident that Professor McGonagall's majestic appearance had also frightened the little ones, and everyone kept their mouths shut and waited for her to speak. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Professor McGonagall glanced at it, her face softening, and she said, "Welcome to Hogwarts, you'll be walking through this door to gather with the rest of your classmates in a moment, but the school will assign you houses before you can take your seats in the cafeteria." The houses have Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slyvenkla, and Slytherin......"
When it comes to Slytherin, Malfoy and his classmates all have a smug smile on their faces, all of whom are pure-blood children.
Professor McGonagall then straightened up and continued, "During your school years, the school is like your home, and your performance will add points to the house, while failure will give the house a ......."
At this time, Hermione, who was beside Bruce, suddenly looked nervous, revealing an expression of impatience.
Seeing this, Bruce tilted his head and asked in a low voice, "Why are you so nervous?" ”
Hermione also whispered, "Please, aren't you listening to the professor?" We have to perform well to add points to our respective houses, and I'm going to prepare from now on! ”
"Huh!" Bruce laughed, "We haven't sorted the house yet, why are you in a hurry!" I remember you said you wanted to be assigned to Gryffindor, but let me remind you that the Head of Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall, is notoriously fair and treats students from all four houses equally! ”
Hermione glanced at Bruce dissatisfied, her cute nose twitched, and she said, "Humph! I've known this for a long time. I can memorize "A History of Hogwarts"! ”
Bruce slowly moved closer to Hermione and chuckled, "Eun, I know!" I'm sure you'll definitely get the first ...... in your grade Kindness! Damn, Harry, what are you pulling me for! ”
Bruce was in contact with Hermione when he was suddenly pulled by Harry. In the face of Bruce's questioning, Harry pointed forward with a wicked smile, and Bruce looked at it...... Professor McGonagall was looking at him with a "look at the dead" expression.
"Huh! Hehe! Hello, Professor McGonagall, see you again! Bruce hurried closely.
Bruce and Professor McGonagall had met a few times before in Diagon Alley at the Leaky Cauldron, and the two knew each other.
Professor McGonagall, however, was unsympathetic and reprimanded: "Mr. Sterling, I remind you to listen carefully when others speak, as you did before, not now!" If you already have an academy, I'll definitely deduct your points! ”
"Huh!" There were a few schadenfreude laughs from behind, it was Malfoy's group, and it was happy to see Bruce being disciplined.
Ron and Harry glared at the men with disapproval.
Professor McGonagall withdrew her eyes and continued, "At the end of the academic year, the house with the highest points ......"
"Quack!"
At this moment, a strange sound sounded. Everybody was looking around. And Bruce got goosebumps all over his body when he heard this, and then said indignantly: "Damn it, toad! ”
As soon as he said this, Neville behind him suddenly stepped forward and came to Professor McGonagall, picked up a toad and said excitedly, "Trevor......"
But Neville suddenly remembered that Professor McGonagall was still here, and raised his mouth tremblingly to meet Professor McGonagall's puzzled and dissatisfied eyes. Neville hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes...... I'm sorry! ”
"Poof!"
Although Bruce lifted Neville very well, he couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw this, and Harry Ron and the others also laughed.
However, Bruce suddenly felt a pain in his arm, and hurriedly turned his head to see Hermione pinching him and glaring at him dissatisfied.
"You shouldn't laugh at Neville!" Hermione said.
Bruce looked helpless and said, "Dear Hermione, I didn't mean to laugh at him, I just ......"
"Ahem, ahem!"
Professor McGonagall's cough interrupted Bruce's explanation, and his cold gaze sent him shivering.
"The sorting ceremony is about to begin, now follow me in. Be careful, stay in formation and don't walk around! Professor McGonagall said, then pushed the door open and headed inside.
A group of freshmen hurriedly followed. To enter the dining room, you have to walk through a corridor until you enter the interior of Hogwarts, and the first-year students are drawn to the castle in front of them to talk again.
Hermione, on the other hand, was following Bruce and counting his mistakes.
"Just now, because the teacher's first impression of me was very bad! You know, this may affect our future results! Hermione said dissatisfied.
Bruce smiled bitterly, "Please, dear Hermione, it's not as serious as you said!" ”
Hermione looked incredulous and said, "Oh my God! Don't you hear? Professor McGonagall is going to withhold our credits! I think this is the first time since Hogwarts was founded that a house has been deducted without even being sorted! ”
"Huh!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Bruce, but also Harry and Ron beside him looked at Hermione with a look. A professor's words can make her connect with the history of Hogwarts, this girl's thinking skills are really not ordinary.
Bruce looked at Hermione speechlessly, and said with a smile: "Your association is really rich, I think you must be ......"
Just then, Bruce's words were interrupted by a flurry of exclamations, and the new students had already entered the dining room, and they were mesmerized by the gorgeous sight of the Hogwarts dining room.
In a huge dining room, there are four rows of "extra-long" tables. Densely packed with students in robes, at the front were the seats of the president and professors. Of course, that's not the key to fascination with new students.
"Wow!"
The real key lies in the ceiling of the restaurant...... It should be said that the sky is more appropriate, and above the restaurant is a piece of sky, the kind of sky that only appears under the bright moonlight, calm black, floating clouds, and the most wonderful thing is the candle hanging in the air below the clouds, and even swinging back and forth with the clouds.
In the movie, Bruce has seen and tried this scene, but the Hollywood special effects are very hanging, but what he wants to say is that compared to the real Hogwarts, the Hollywood special effects instantly become ******. Think about it, it's super realistic, but after all, across the screen, how can there be more exciting things to see with your own eyes?
The seniors of the four Hogwarts houses all watched the group of new students, knowing that this was how they walked into the Hogwarts dining hall back then.
"They cast a spell on the ceiling!" Hermione jumped away from her worries and began to explain to her classmates, "Make it look more like the night sky, I read about it in A History of Hogwarts!" ”
After saying that, he shrugged his cute nose defiantly towards Bruce, who was looking back at her. Bruce smiled and nodded. Led by Professor McGonagall, the freshmen stopped at the professor's table, where a barstool with a worn, old peaked hat was placed in the middle of the table!
"Please wait here!" Professor McGonagall spoke, then walked over to the table.
At this time, Bruce finally saw the appearance of the Hogwarts teachers. The short little old man with pointed ears and a pointed nose should be the professor who taught flotation. The professor who looked like an owl professor and a broomstick, and of course the one that caught Bruce's eye the most was Dumbledore sitting in the middle with a large gray beard and red peaked hat, and Snape, who had greasy black hair and scanned everyone with a cold gaze.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Now, Professor Dumbledore has a few words to say before the sorting ceremony begins! Professor McGonagall said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Dumbledore stood up from his seat and said, "Before the start of the new school year, I would like to announce to you that there are some things that must be noted! Especially first-year students, please note that it is strictly forbidden to enter the Black Forest unless you want to die......"
As he spoke, he smiled and looked at the new students.
Ron immediately whispered in Bruce and Harry's ears; "I know the Black Forest, Fred and George have always wanted to see it."
"What?" Harry was surprised, "Didn't you hear Dumbledore?" That's going to kill you, and I think you should stop them! ”
Ron smiled helplessly when he heard this, and Bruce laughed, "Harry, didn't you listen to Ron on the train?" If he could have stopped him, his parents would have done it a long time ago! ”
Ron nodded approvingly.
"Shh
Hermione, who was in front of hermione, suddenly turned her head and motioned for the three of them to shut up, and Bruce smiled and nodded. When Hermione turned around, Ron said in annoyance, "I really hate her more and more now!" True love is nosy! ”
“…… Also, our caretaker, Mr. Feige, wants me to warn you not to step into the right-hand corridor on the third floor......" Dumbledore gestured towards the door.
None of the old students turned their heads when they heard the familiar and hateful name, except for the two red-haired twins in the red zone who smiled wrikingly towards the gate.
The freshmen, on the other hand, all looked at what Dumbledore was referring to, and then they took one look, and everyone hurriedly took their eyes back. I saw a strange man in shabby clothes and a cold face standing at the gate, and a dirty cat at his feet. Obviously, this image made the freshmen a little frightened.
Ron explained again, admonishing his two friends, "Bruce, Harry! Trust me, we should stay away from him! Any idea how George and Fred describe him? Devil! And none of our family from Hogwarts liked him, he was the only standard answer we had as a family discussion! ”
Harry glanced at him again, then nodded solemnly
At this point, Dumbledore finished speaking, and he nodded and gestured towards Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall opened the list and said, "The sorting ceremony begins!" Later, I'll recite someone's name, and I'll come up to ......."
As she spoke, she picked up a dirty hat and said, "I'll bring you a sorting hat, and it will divide you into four houses!" Bruce. Stirling! ”
"Yes!" Hearing that the first one was his own name, Bruce was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Damn! Labor is the first? ”
Seeing that Bruce didn't react, Ron thought he was scared, and hurriedly pushed him and comforted, "Dude, go!" Don't worry! ”
Bruce reacted and hurried over, sat down on a barstool under the gaze of the full hall, Professor McGonagall put the Sorting Hat on his head, and ......
"Hah! The first freshman ...... of the new school year"
"I'm knm!"
