Chapter 117

Hogwarts was brightly lit tonight, the stairs and corridors were all cleaned, and all the portraits, armor, and ghosts were waiting to welcome life.

"Minerva, is everything ready? The children arrived. Headmaster Dumbledore sorted out his proud little star wizard hat and asked him about the Headmaster.

"Yes, Albus." Professor McGonagall looked at Mr. Headmaster, who looked particularly ridiculous tonight, "If you don't mind, can you change to a normal hat?" ”

"Oh, Minerva. I bet the kids will love seeing my hat. "Headmaster Dumbledore is a rare old wizard who is still full of childlike innocence at the age of 100, and he is affectionate to show that he has bought a wizard's hat, which he specially prepared for today's sorting ceremony.

"Are the house-elves ready?" Headmaster Dumbledore asked for the hundredth time, "We need more cakes, biscuits, puddings, and ice cream, because we have six hundred little guests." He blinked excitedly, just thinking that he would soon be able to meet the children again after a summer vacation made him want to sing a song! But he guessed that the kids must have gone crazy this summer.

He loves children.

"Of course, of course. I think they're all set. Professor McGonagall sighed, "More than any parent would have prepared so many snacks for their children." Albus, I still think you're too fond of these kids. All parents know that you can't give them too much snack, that will make them skip meals. ”

Dumbledore comforted him as the Headmaster, "When I was a child, I was always happy to have an extra piece of cake. Minerva, relax. I want the kids to have as much fun every day as they are on Halloween. ”

"Say whatever you want." Professor McGonagall had given up on convincing the old wizard, who had been acting like an old fool for so many years. But no one can deny that he loves every child. "I'm going to deliver the baby, and you'll be able to see the cute, troublesome little ones in a moment." Even she couldn't help but smile at this time.

"Minerva, I'm sure you love them as much as I do." Dumbledore smiled as he watched the Headmaster leave.

Year 2 and above students gradually descended into the hall and saw their principals and professors sitting at the tables. The students who hadn't seen each other for a summer vacation were obviously not satisfied with just the little time they spent together on the train, and they sat in groups of three or five talking while waiting for the students.

Coming from the lake is obviously a little slower. Hogwarts has been around for more than a thousand years, and there are many traditions that have changed over the millennia, but some have been preserved. For example, take a boat from the lake to the castle.

Dumbledore said to Professor Tom Riddle, "Tom, I remember when I first came to Hogwarts by boat, I thought it would be nice if I could go back and forth every day. So I think these kids will love that experience as well. ”

Tom obediently chatted with the professor: "Yes, Professor, I also came by boat. ”

"What were you thinking?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

Tom took a sip of mineral water: "Don't be pushed off the boat from behind. "Whether it was a prank or something, he was always cautious.

"Oh, Tom! You bad boy! Dumbledore laughed and slapped Tom on the back.

Sitting down, the students exchanged heads and talked a lot.

"Did you guess they found out?" Dumbledore asked Tom.

Tom glanced at Red's seat, which was empty. Severus was supposed to come with him, and he would keep an eye on Ariana.

"I think they found out. Rhett always comes early, and he's so popular with students. Tom said.

Dumbledore sighed, "Sometimes, Tom, I think Red is a little too much like you. I always wanted him to enjoy staying in school. The old professor was reluctant to admit it, "although he did a good job outside." ”

"We're the same." Tom said calmly, "Red and I both love to win. I failed, and I wish he could do a better job than I did. ”

They didn't say any more, because they were born.

There are more than 20 students this year, and they will be divided into four colleges. Dumbledore and Tom found Ariana Riddle. She stood in the middle of her classmates and looked like she had made a few friends.

Severus Snape came in through the side door of the dining room and took his seat. The students below immediately spotted him, and there was a burst of discussion. The hum made him not frown, and his gaze swept over the four house tables, which Gryffindor and Hufflepuff had stayed on for a little longer.

Dumbledore laughed as if he had done a prank, "I bet our students will like their professor." ”

Tom smiled, "Can't agree more, Professor." ”

Professor McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat on a barstool, and was called to the list of named students to sit on the stool and put on the hat.

Ariana Riddle was at the bottom of the line.

Dumbledore had a whim and whispered to Tom, "If Ariana gets Gryffindor, I wonder if Severus will give Gryffindor extra points?" ”

Unfortunately, his voice was just right for the Potions professor to hear. The silent Slytherin, who had only graduated for five years, turned his head to look at the headmaster.

“…… What a brilliant joke, Mr. Headmaster. I burst out laughing. Severus Snape said in a deep voice.

Professor Flitvier and Professor Graplan were pretending to talk about their schedules for the semester, but their eyes were absolutely fixed on the Chancellor and the professors.

Headmaster Dumbledore carefully admired the pattern on the golden cup in front of him, cleared his throat and said, "Oh, look, our sorting house is over. ”

It was already Ariana's turn, and she was fourth from the bottom. Standing below, she smiled at Daddy, Grandpa Albus, and Seifer above.

"Ariana Riddle." Professor McGonagall shouted, smiling at her and placing the Sorting Hat on her head.

Ariana sat on a stool like a lady of a famous family. Pauche never demanded that children behave, and she believed that children were free by nature. But it's a shame that both Red and Ariana are like Tom, and they seem to be born to perform that well.

She had tried to correct them, but as a child Red was disgusted by hearing Pusher tell him that it was okay to get his clothes dirty and play with the kids outside, "Like those idiots? ”

Ariana replied, "I like to look better." "To her, grooming her demeanor to make her graceful and worthy of status is more valuable than lying in bed or not brushing her teeth, and God knows she's only eleven years old.

The Sorting Hat twisted her head, and then Ariana heard a hoarse voice speak in her head.

'Oh, another Riddle. I'm afraid that in the future the surname Riddle will become as famous as Malfoy or Black, and I've seen three Riddle in the last fifty years. There is no doubt about it-'

The hat yelled, "Slytherin! ”

Arianna Riddle received a Slytherin cheer, of course because of her last name, Riddle. Although the surname doesn't seem to be that famous, just look at their History of Magic Professor and Potions Professor, no one can deny that they are powerful wizards, and they like their professors, so they are willing to welcome this half-blood little witch.

When Ariana Slytherin sat down at the long table, all three people at the professor's table congratulated her.

When the sorting was over, Headmaster Dumbledore stood up, "Welcome, welcome, my children. You must be tired, and after your dinner, you can go back to your warm, comfortable bed and get some good sleep. Of course, it may take a little more time before the homework is finished. ”

The students burst into laughter.

"Before you start filling your stomachs, I'd like to introduce us Potions professors. Severus Snape, who will succeed Professor Red Roth Riddle and become Head of Slytherin. ”

Severus stood up, nodded coldly at the student, and sat down.

The students below immediately recognized him, and after the applause, everyone began to point their fingers at him. This made Dean Slytherin's face darker and darker.

In recent years, the Snape Potions Research Society has become very famous, they have introduced many medicines, and the Ministry of Magic has been asked to formulate six potions laws, including the "Potions Recipe Regulations" and the "Potions Safety Regulations", which strictly regulate the formulations, dosages, and taboos of commonly used potions. Since most wizarding schools offer potions classes, most wizards will make potions, and it is normal to change the recipe and add ingredients, but sometimes this addition is mostly dangerous and may conflict with other potions.

Severus Snape, of course, thought that most wizards didn't know how to make potions.

It's surprising that they didn't poison themselves! In an interview with the Daily Prophet, he said.

Under the current Potions Act, homemade potions are completely permitted.

For those who want to poison themselves, we should not stop them from going to the grave. —By: Severus Snape.

But you can't put it down someone's throat, whether it's your child or your parents or relatives.

One of Hufflepuff whispered to a classmate, "I thank him." You know, thanks to him, I don't have to drink the potions my uncle made for me anymore. That's just poison. I had been suspecting him until I was eight years old that he was trying to poison me so I could inherit my grandfather's legacy, but I later found out that he was just a fool. ”

His classmate immediately asked curiously, "What about your uncle?" ”

The Hufflepuff shrugged: "Two months ago, he boiled a dose of typhoid potion himself, drank it and went to St. Mungo, and now he still insists that he is a two-tailed crowned newt, and refuses to eat anything but earthworms." ”

His classmates exclaimed, "Are you all right?!" ”

The Hufflepuff rolled his eyes: "Of course I didn't drink it!" They were all fed to me, and luckily I received a few every year, and they looked exactly the same, so the family still thought I only had one squeak. ”

When school started, the students discovered the characteristics of this Slytherin headmaster, and he was damn eccentric! Short! All Gryffindors wailed that they had just discovered what a fair and enlightened Professor Little Riddle was, and that coming to Professor Snape was a nightmare for all Gryffindors.

Slytherin, on the other hand, sensed from the professor that he cared about them. They accepted the dean, his potions prowess was amazing, and he had a strict and imperceptible preference for them.

In just one week, Red received a lot of Gryffindor letters asking when he would be back.

'We miss you, Professor!' The Potions professor is a devil! ’

Red wrote back, "Young brave boys, I believe Professor Snape is a very good wizard who can teach you enough knowledge to enjoy for the rest of your lives. Climb it as if it were a mountain, and even if the road ahead is full of thorns, you will be victorious! ”

Professor Snape noticed that the Gryffindor Potions class had become much braver, and at the same time they had caused more trouble.
