Chapter 476: Entering the school

The door immediately opened, and in the doorway stood a tall black-haired female magician dressed in an emerald green robe.
Her expression was so serious that Wu Mo couldn't help but feel that it might be difficult to pass her class.
He is also a person who came from his student days, and he can see what kind of teacher and personality he has almost from his face.
"Professor McConaughey, the first-year students are here." Hagley reported.
"Thank you, Hagley, I'll take them in."
She pushed the door open completely.
Inside, the entrance hall is so large that it could fit an entire Doesley house.
The stone walls are illuminated by torches, the ceiling is unimaginably high, and a beautiful marble staircase leads to the upper floor.
The children followed Professor McConaughey through a section of the floor covered with bunting.
Wu Mo could hear hundreds of loud voices coming from the entrance on the right—the rest of the school's students had already arrived.
- But Professor McConaughey took the freshmen to a small, empty room away from the hall.
They all crowded in, standing in a dense space, looking around nervously.
"Welcome to Hogwätcher." Professor McConaughey exclaimed, "The Commencement Dinner will start soon.
But before that, you will be assigned to your respective houses, and the distribution ceremony is very important, because since you are here, your house is your home in Hogwacher.
You'll have to go to class, live together, and play with the rest of the college. ”
"The four colleges are called Greenington, Hayfbaf, Welven Carlo, and Schlindlin.
Each academy has its glorious and long history of producing talented magicians.
During your time at Hogwächer, you will be given extra points if you follow the rules, and points will be deducted if you break the rules.
At the end of each year, the children from the house with the highest scores are awarded the House Cup. I hope you all bring glory to your college.
The assignment ceremony will begin in a few minutes in front of the whole school, and I suggest you take advantage of this waiting time to dress up nicely. ”
Her gaze lingered for a moment on Nevel's hat cord anchored under her left ear and Ron's filthy nose.
Seeing this, Wu Mo hurriedly touched his hair, wanting to smooth it out.
Harry, who was next to him, had flattened out his somewhat curly hair.
"We'll call you when we're ready, so wait here quietly for a while."
She finally left the small room, and Harry swallowed nervously.
"On what basis did they assign us to different colleges?" He asked Ron.
"Maybe pass the exam. Fried had said that it would hurt when dispensing, but I think he was just joking. ”
Harry's heart sank.
Examination?
Still in front of the whole school teachers and students?
But he doesn't know even the simplest magic now, so what should he do?
When he first arrived, he never thought something like this would happen.
He looked around anxiously and noticed that the others were just as scared as he was.
Hermione Ringzo was the only one in the crowd whispering to the people next to her about her magic, saying she didn't know which ones would come in handy.
Harry wanted to plug his ears, he had never been so nervous, not even when he had turned the teacher's wig blue and returned to Doesley's house with the school complaint letter.
That Professor McConaughey would come back at any moment and take him to the place where his fate would be decided.
"Don't worry Harry, there's no exam."
Wu Mo patted Harry Potter on the shoulder and smiled, although he didn't remember it very clearly, but it seemed that there was really no exam here, but there would be some ghosts.
Suddenly, several people behind him suddenly screamed, causing Harry to jump a foot high.
"What are you doing-?"
Harry held his breath, as did the people around him.
About twenty ghosts entered through the wall from behind.
They are all as white as pearls, and they are also translucent.
They floated around the room as they spoke, dismissive of the freshmen, as if they were arguing about something.
One of the short and fat little monks said, "Forgive him, forget the whole thing." I think we should give him another chance—"
"My dear Mr. Fael, we have given Pivis enough opportunities.
He's not a good thing to give us all a bad name - hey, what are you doing here?
"It was a ghost wearing a wreath and pantyhose that spoke. She suddenly spotted the group of children underneath her.
No one dared to answer.
"It's some freshmen!" The fat man Faier laughed and said to them, "It's time to allocate a place to live, right?" ”
Some of the children nodded quietly.
"Good luck with Hefbaf," cried Fael, "you know, that's where I graduated." ”
"Now move forward," a soprano shouted, "the distribution ceremony is about to begin." ”
Professor McConaughey returned, and one by one the ghosts left through the opposite wall.
"Stand in line," Professor McConaughey told the freshmen, "now follow me!" ”
Harry felt his legs feel like they were filled with lead, and it was strange.
He was behind a boy with sandy hair, followed by Wu Mo, and Ron followed him closely.
The group re-crossed the hall and entered a separate door into the Great Hall.
To be honest, except in the movie, Wu Mo has never seen a place so strange and brilliant.
The other upperclassmen sat at four long tables, thousands of candles floating in the air above their heads, illuminating the entire hall.
The table was filled with glittering gold plates and goblets.
There was another long table on the stage directly in front of the assembly, where the teachers were sitting.
Professor McConaughey led the freshmen onto the podium and told them to stand in a row facing their brothers and their backs to their teachers.
The thousands of faces staring at them were like little pale lanterns in the light of a shining candle.
The ghosts scattered among the students turned the otherwise blurry silverware into shiny.
Avoiding the audience's gaze, Harry looked up and happened to see a beautiful velvety black ceiling dotted with stars.
He heard Hermione whisper in his ear, "Someone has enchanted it to make it look more like the starry sky outside." This is what I learned in The Hogwacher Story. ”
It's hard to imagine that the Assembly Hall is not open-air, and that there is a ceiling on top of it.
As Professor McConaughey quietly placed a four-legged stool in front of the freshmen, Harry hurriedly looked straight ahead again.
