173. At the Sorting Ceremony

Hermione finally met Harry, they talked happily with Loki, and got the boy that Loki liked, how to say, after a quick glance, it is undeniable that the boy is indeed very exquisite, but Hermione has also seen the world, and looks at people not from the face but from the heart.

I don't know what the pale blonde haired boy's heart looks like, but Hermione has decided to stay away from him as much as possible, especially after Loki arrives at the school next year. If this boy can really be accepted by Loki quickly, then even if he is not "Loki Two" now, he is not far from this title.

Hermione, the little devil of Loki, can't figure it out, let alone two people like Loki.

"Harry, you must be reminded to stay away from him."

Harry looked at Hermione amusedly, obviously she and Loki could still have a good conversation, why did she become like this when she met someone who was in Loki's imagination.

"Dear Loki-like guy isn't really scary, or you ask Thor."

Thor nodded, he also liked the people his brother liked, but it was obvious that Hermione didn't believe Thor's words at all, Thor was a person who loved Loki extremely much, and in his eyes, all of Loki's shortcomings could be turned into advantages, so Saul's words couldn't be believed at all!

Harry looked at the boy's back and squinted and smiled, and then asked Thor and Hermione to wait for him, he was going to say hello to Hagrid, after all, he was also a friend, and Hagrid had been swaying from side to side as if he was looking for something, if Harry had guessed correctly, he was looking for himself.

"Hi, Hagrid."

"Oh, Harry! How do you feel about coming here? Are you okay? ”

Harry took two steps forward and stopped within a polite distance, "Very well, the train ride is quite comfortable, and I'm glad to see you today." ”

"I'm worried you're going to be nervous, but it looks like you're getting used well."

Hagrid smiled innocently, his voice was already loud, and Harry's name was more eye-catching now, so the little wizards passing by Harry were all secretly looking at Harry.

The little boy with pale blond hair stood at the front, and he vaguely heard someone calling Harry's name, so he frowned and looked back, but he didn't notice anything because there were too many people. He did hear that Harry Potter, the boy who didn't die, started school this year, and was on the Hogwarts Express before, but this Malfoy was assessing whether he wanted to make friends with Harry Potter on his own initiative.

Seriously, this is a very important thing, for Malfoy, as his father said, Malfoy doesn't need to lower his status to make friends, but it doesn't hurt to be friends with the boy who won't die, does it?

Now that all the first-year students had gotten off the bus, Hagrid had wanted to keep Harry with him, but Harry politely refused, and Hagrid only then remembered that his younger brother Saul Odinson had also come to school this year.

They followed Hagrid's footsteps and stumbled down a steep, narrow path, as the other upperclassmen didn't enter the school that way, so Harry guessed that it might be the treatment that only first-year students would enjoy.

It was pitch black on both sides of the path, and they couldn't see any light except for the dim little lantern in front of Hagrid, and Harry resisted the urge to light up the neighborhood and Thor to protect Hermione one one after the other, to be honest, such a path might fall if one was not careful.

No one spoke, silently, except for the sniffing of the little boy who had come to their carriage to look for the lost toad, and Harry remembered his name, Neville, Neville Longbottom.

According to Ron, the Longbottom family is also a very traditional wizarding family, which is the so-called pureblood.

And one thing that Hermione doesn't like very much about Ron is that they have a special pride in it when they mention purebloods, and they are a little evasive when it comes to having Muggle relatives in the family, although Ron doesn't say too much, but from his tone, it can be felt that Hermione thinks it's a kind of discrimination, but Harry thinks that it's probably a phenomenon unique to the wizarding world, and it's not just Ron who thinks so.

"Turn this corner, and you'll soon see Hogwarts for the first time."

Hagrid's voice came from the front, and Harry whispered to Hermione to be careful, then took Hermione's hand and turned the bend that Hagrid had said, and at the end of the narrow path suddenly opened a black lake, and on the high hillside on the other side of the lake stood a towering castle, with spires and windows shining brightly under the starlight.

This is Hogwarts, on the other side of the lake, and its quaint appearance proves that it has been standing here for many years, at least from within it there have been generations of wizards.

Hermione looked at the scum of Hogwarts in the distance, and from a distance, it was not only solemn, but Hogwarts made people feel awe from the heart.

The children had just been silent all the way, and now they were finally chattering about it, whether they were from the wizarding world or the ordinary human world, they had never seen the real Hogwarts, and there was no image to care about at this time.

Hagrid told them to get into small boats moored on the shore, and that each boat could not exceed four people. Harry and the others picked the nearest boat, Saul jumped on it first and stabilized the boat before reaching out to pick up Hermione on the boat, Loki told Sù Thor to protect Harry, and Lestrade told Sù Thor and Harry to take care of Hermione as a girl, no matter how strong she usually looked, but after all, girls should treat her gently.

Thor and Harry have been reading and seeing the gentlemanly way of Lestrade since they were children, so naturally they have always taken good care of Hermione, who was with them. Harry was close behind when Hermione got on the boat, and now there was a spot on their ship.

Ron wasn't a little unhappy with Hermione and Harry's words before, so he didn't go with them after getting out of the car, but now that the boat was about to leave, he hadn't found a place yet, so he saw Harry and the three of them.

Ron hesitated, he couldn't wipe his face, after all, he had just left on his own initiative.

"Ron, do you want to be together?"

Harry, who was still sharp-eyed, made an invitation, Ron thought for a moment and nodded, and then came to Harry's boat.

"Moving Forward ......"

As Hagrid's voice fell, their boat finally moved forward, all powered by magic, Harry reached out and touched the hull of the boat and thought to himself what kind of magic it should be, the boat cut through the calm lake and slowly headed for Hogwarts.

Harry could hear Hermione's speeding heartbeat as he patted his friend to relax.

They passed through the veil of ivy that covered the cliff to a mysterious and open entrance, and they followed a dark waterway as if to the underground of the castle, and finally reached a place that resembled an underground dock.

Harry and Thor glanced at each other, it was a secret waterway, and it seemed that no one except the first-year students would enter it. Hermione had been nervous and excited from the moment she got on the boat, so she jumped down when she got off the boat.

Ron shuddered, he was even more scared now, about the so-called Sorting House, according to Fred and George, the Sorting House even had to fight with trolls, it felt terrible to think about.

Hagrid led the first-year students up a flight of stone steps to a large oak door, which was closed and looked solemn and solemn. This is probably the gate of the castle, and Hagrid watched as the first-year little Douding door stretched out his huge fist and knocked the door three times.

The door immediately opened, and there was a tall black-haired witch in an emerald green robe standing at the door, her expression was extremely stern, making Hermione beside Harry unconsciously clench Harry's hand, "If this were our professor, her class would be difficult." ”

"Honey, we can't judge a person by their appearance."

Harry blinked, as if Hannibal had no morals but them, and who could have known that their dear brother Hannibal had no morals in a certain way.

"Professor McGonagall, the first-year students are here."

The lady's name was McGonagall, and Harry secretly wrote it down, whether she would be his professor or not, and it was a sign of respect to be able to call the lady by name the next time they met.

Professor McGonagall thanked Hagrid for taking over the first-year students from now on, and she pushed the doors open for Harry to see the whole picture, and they followed Professor McGonagall across a floor covered with bunting, and there was a loud noise in the room, as if the students had arrived.

Professor McGonagall led them to an empty room some distance from the hall, where many of the new students had crowded in, and everyone in the dense crowd looked nervous, looking around but not daring to speak.

"Welcome to Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall's voice was very high, and it immediately caught Harry's attention, Professor McGonagall said a lot about the house, and they were about to face the house, although they didn't know how the house was sorted and what it was, but it seemed that the house was very important to them, because at the end Professor McGonagall mentioned the supreme honor "House Cup".

Whatever the House Cup is, it looks like it has something to do with everyone's efforts.

"The distribution ceremony will take place in a few minutes in front of the whole school, and I suggest that you use this waiting time to dress up beautifully."

Professor McGow looked at the young wizards standing below, and she soon learned that Harry and his brother, Mr. Saul Odinson, seemed to be well raised, Harry was in good spirits, and had a little baby fat on his face.

He and his brother have been protecting a little girl, seemingly unconscious, who is said to be classmates in elementary school with Harry, and the two have known each other for five years. It looks like Professor Dumbledore said that Harry had always received a good education, including homeschooling.

"We'll call you back when we're ready, and you'll be here for a while."

Professor McGonagall finally left the small room, and the atmosphere became a little tense, all the children were guessing how to go to the house, many of them had already decided what house they would go to, but some were still confused about the future.

Malfoy didn't care about the Sorting House, he was meant to be a Slytherin, like all Malfoy.

Because he heard that Harry Potter was also here, although he didn't know who it was, but someone knew that before entering Hogwarts, Malfoy also knew a lot of children from pure-blood families, like Pansy and so on, they were all barely Malfoy's friends.

"Have you already inquired about it? Which one is Harry Potter. ”

Pansy's full name is Pansy Parkinson, and she has been fond of the Malfoy family's only young master since she was a child, and there is a reason why Malfoy would ask about him, because girls are more likely to inquire about news than boys.

She pulled Malfoy over, pointed to the dark-haired boy in the front of the foursome, and said, "See, it's that boy, they all say he's Harry Potter." ”

This back Malfoy is a little familiar, he pursed his lips and led his two tall bodyguards to squeeze through the crowd, and came to the person who is said to be Harry Potter, Malfoy was obviously stunned when he saw the so-called Harry Potter, he didn't expect that the boy he met in Diagon Alley was Harry, he originally thought they were a pure-blood family.

He pursed his lips and looked at Thor, who was standing with Harry, who had been saying that he wanted to go to Slytherin, and standing between the two was a little girl, who looked more like a little wizard from Muggles, they were four people standing together, and the other with red hair and freckles, a loyal supporter of Dumbledore, a child of the Weasley family in pureblood.

Malfoy still had a good impression of Harry before, and Saul also thought that the boy was good given that he was Loki's older brother, who knew that one of them turned out to be Harry Potter and the other was his brother.

In other words, Loki is also a little wizard from Muggles?

Malfoy stood still and began to struggle, he liked Loki very much, to be honest he rarely saw someone who looked so much like Slytherin, but he was a Muggle......

"So you're ...... Harry Potter. ”

Harry looked at the delicate little boy in front of him, he still dragged a long tone, with arrogance in his tone, if he had just come to his face and opened his mouth Harry might have thought that he was here to find fault or "ask the teacher to ask for blame", but when he came to him, he hesitated, and kept standing there frowning and pouting, Harry knew that he must not have known who he was before this, so he knew that he was suddenly entangled standing there.

How to put it, it's awkward and cute.

"Yes, I forgot to introduce myself before."

Harry looked at Malfoy with a smile, Hermione ducked behind Thor, she still didn't want to talk to the person Loki imagined, he looked like he was here to find fault.

"I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."

The boy introduced himself to Harry first, and Harry heard his name, Draco? Draco?

Ron beside Harry sneered when he heard the boy's last name, Draco? What a ridiculous name, Harry looked at Ron a little, and it was rude to laugh at someone saying his name.

Ron kept his mouth shut when he saw Harry looking at him, he just didn't like Malfoy, because they were all men of mystery and scheming.

"You think my name is ridiculous, don't you? You don't have to ask me to know who you are, red-haired, freckled-faced Weasley kid, I heard that you can't afford to have too many children. ”

Ron watched the boy grind his teeth, he laughed at his family, a Death Eater child, and he took a step forward looking like he wanted to argue with Draco Malfoy. Harry reached out and stopped Ron, who was actually the first to provoke, he shouldn't have laughed at the boy when he introduced himself, because during the conversation with the boy before, he had learned that Draco loved his family and was proud of it. There is also a name, Draco has a theory that it is Draco, if I guessed correctly, it should be a way of naming the family.

So Ron was actually laughing at Draco Malfoy's family, and it was no wonder that they fought back.

Harry stopped Ron, first of all he let out a laugh, and secondly, no one knew when Professor McGonagall would be back, and it would be bad for none of them to make a bad impression on the stern professor.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Draco Malfoy, my brother has some memory of the conversation he had with you that day."

Harry didn't want to make their relationship too stiff, so he mentioned Loki, the man he had a good conversation with.

Draco could tell what Harry meant, he looked at Ron who was stopped by Harry, snorted coldly, and said to Harry, "Harry Potter, you will soon find that sometimes you choose a good family to be friends with, but it is very useful, you don't want to be friends with someone else, do you?" And sometimes if you are friends with people who are not careful, you will also be affected. ”

No, Draco looked at Ron when he said this, he looked at Ron defiantly, the Weasleys were traitors in their eyes, and the ancient wizarding family with a long history was willing to degenerate, and finally to the point where they couldn't even afford to raise children.

"I naturally have my own ideas about the choice of friends, Mr. Malfoy and I don't think there's anything wrong with being friends with Mr. Weasley, and I think Professor McGonagall will be back soon, you don't want to make a bad impression on the professor on the first day."

Harry spoke very tactfully, for Draco and Ron both used their last names plus sir, there was no intimacy, Harry was also preparing for himself and Thor to be assigned to Slytherin, Draco Malfoy said that he must be Slytherin, so they probably looked down and didn't look up in the days after that, and it was always bad to be embarrassed.

Draco didn't expect to be rejected, his pale cheeks flushed red, as if he was a little annoyed and didn't move at all of Harry's words.

In the end, he chose to take a step back, as Harry had said, he didn't want to make a bad impression on his professor.

Harry sighed when he saw Malfoy return to his circle of friends, it looked like they would need to spend time repairing their relationship with Malfoy, and it seemed that there was a lot of discrimination in the wizarding world.

Muggles and pure-bloods by blood, Slytherins who were isolated by many people in the house, Weasleys and ancient pure-bloods in the family, and Death Eaters and ordinary families in the legacy.

Ron was grateful to Harry for choosing him, he wanted to say what he knew about the Malfoy family and keep Harry away from them, but he was interrupted by Harry before he could say a word, "Mr. Ron Weasley, no matter what his parents are, you shouldn't make a mocking voice after he introduces his name, it's extremely rude, and the parents actually look at the child a bit of a generalization, Mr. Draco Malfoy is just a spoiled child." ”

Harry didn't help anyone this time, he didn't like this kind of discrimination, so he wanted to do what he could to change something, Ron opened his mouth and closed it again, Hermione came out from behind Harry, that Draco Malfoy was really a bit imaginary with Loki, of course Hermione knew which line Ron poked Harry's bottom line.

It was the first time Harry had seen ghosts, or ghosts as they called them, and he had never imagined that people really had souls, and that the ghosts had passed through the small room they were in to attend the Hogwarts opening celebration.

Professor McGonagall came in at this point, and she had the first year children stand in a row on her own footsteps, this time Hermione walking in front of Harry and Thor, and in front of her was Ron.

"Do you know what Harry hates the most?"

If Ron hadn't guessed wrong, Hermione Granger was talking to him, and he shook his head secretly, only to hear Hermione let out a chuckle, "Harry cares most about family, and he thinks you might need to learn to respect others, or rather you." ”

Actually, Harry was angry with Malfoy, wasn't he?

Ron was silent, he didn't want to lose Harry as a friend, he was the poor boy who was always nagging by his mother, and he wanted to talk to this legendary character like Ginny.

They entered a lavish dining room that was more luxurious than Harry had imagined, and Professor McGonagall was at the head of the line, leading the line of first-year students to the front of the teacher's seat. Professor McGonagall had them stand in a row facing the seniors, hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at them, and Harry stood without squinting.

Some of the children were already nervous to the extreme, and Professor McGonagall placed a four-legged stool in front of them, and then a worn-out pointed wizard's hat was placed on top of the stool, and the hat looked like it was a long time old with patches.

Just when Harry was surprised, the hat cracked open on its own, as if it had opened its mouth, and began to sing. The song that the hat sang had already identified him, and it seemed that they only needed to put on their hats to assign their own houses, and the hat finally finished singing his song, and it bowed to the four houses one by one amid applause.

Professor McGonagall took out a piece of parchment and said to the first-year students, "Whoever I call by name now will put on his hat and sit on a stool and wait for the Sorting House." ”

All the freshmen focused their attention.

The first person was assigned to Hufflepuff, and after Harry finished singing the hat, he began to worry about whether they would be able to get to the house they wanted to go to, such as Slytherin.

"Don't worry, the two of us will definitely be in the same academy."

"It's you who is nervous, Harry, relax."

Harry was actually cheering himself up again, and to be honest, he was genuinely worried that they wouldn't be able to get together, and Harry thought about the odds of threatening the Sorting Hat.

Professor McGonagall had already called Hermione, and Harry and Thor were smiling at Hermione, and the little girl jumped up to Professor McGonagall's side, bringing on the worn-out hat, and after thinking for a moment, the hat shouted loudly, "Gryffindor-"

Harry smiled, and it looked like Hermione had gotten her wish, and the house she wanted to go to the most was Gryffindor.

Harry was happy that Hermione was able to go to the house she wanted to go to, and he was really happy.

Ron snorted, Hermione's personality was too strong for her to like, and Ron was sad at the thought of becoming a classmate of the academy with that young lady. By Draco's approach, it took the Sorting Hat almost a second to tell his house.

"Slytherin—"

Harry shrugged at Thor, and sure enough, this Draco Malfoy might be their classmate. Harry and Thor smiled at the boy, laughing at the fact that this was a crucial time to cultivate the love of their classmates.

There weren't many people left, and Harry couldn't figure out who would be in front of him or Thor.

It turned out to be Thor.

Professor McGonagall called Thor's name, "Saul Odinson." ”

Thor gave Harry one last look and smiled, he was sure he was going to Slytherin, so he ......

Seriously, until the second before putting on the Sorting Hat, Thor thought he should go to Slytherin.

He also thought about the words Slytherin and Slytherin in his own mind, the Sorting Hat had never seen a lion cub trying to go inside the snake, he could see through a person's thoughts, so he had been overrun by Slytherin's head.

"Slytherin, Slytherin, I'm going to Slytherin."

The Sorting Hat pouted, he might need to sue Mr. Sù Sol Odinson for a cruel question, and that was that he could only be a Gryffindor.

"I'm sorry, my dear, you're a pure Gryffindor, where you can go to glory."

"Nope! My brother is going to Slytherin, and I have to be there, too! ”

Thor got a critical hit, oh my god, shouldn't he be going to Slytherin, and then Harry will come too, so that when Loki comes next year they'll be a house, or even a dorm where he can share a bed with Loki.

But the Sorting Hat didn't listen to Thor, he had a little Slytherin quality, and the possibility of going was less than one tenth.

"Gryffindor—"

As the Sorting Hat spits out of the house, Thor takes his hat off his head, pinching the edge of the hat and threatening the Sorting Hat, "I ask for a new Sorting House!" I'm not going to Gryffindor! ”

This was the first time at Hogwarts that students had asked for a reassignment of the house, and Professor McGonagall was taken aback, and heard their Harry Potter speak just as she tried to stop Thor.

"Thor!"

He just called Thor's name, and Thor turned his head to look at Harry and saw what Harry meant, Harry was telling him to follow the arrangement, but how could this be! What if Loki comes next year?!

"Thor, put down the Sorting Hat."

Thor was silent when he saw Harry's face, well, Harry was angry, which meant that he could only accept this outcome. Thor obediently lowered his frightened hat as Harry spoke, and unlike the others, he sat down in Gryffindor's place dejectedly.

Hermione patted her friend on the shoulder, she knew Thor's thoughts, he wanted to go to Slytherin and wait for Loki to come to school next year.

"Harry Potter."

When Professor McGonagall called out the name, everyone fell silent, and the professors' eyes were on Harry, Harry Potter, the boy who never died.

He had put on the Sorting Hat, and now Harry was torn apart, and like the Sorting Hat, it could see that Harry had two qualities, one was Gryffindor and the other was Slytherin, and it was in Harry's mind, "It's really hard to decide." ”

Harry looked at his brother, in fact, there was only one choice, didn't he, first guard Thor's side, he who had just made a fuss about changing houses might become the target of Gryffindor's exclusion, each house has its own pride, and Thor did nothing more than not admit Gryffindor. Although he knew that Thor would not really be bullied, Harry would not really be relieved if he didn't follow Thor by his side.

"Looks like you've got a choice."

Yes, there is still a way to figure out how to do Loki next year, whether it is to kidnap Loki to come to Gryffindor or ask someone to help take care of him, there is still a year to operate, and now all he needs to do is take care of the things in front of him.

"Then follow your ideas."

The Sorting Hat opened its mouth and said loudly, "Gryffindor—"
