Chapter VIII Decisions of the Division
"It looks like we're just going to have to put on this hat." Harry glanced at Augustus and muttered to himself. "I'm going to kill Fred, and I hear him say it's like he's going to fight a giant." Ron waved his hands indignantly. Augustus smiled faintly. I don't know who made this funny hat, and it looks very spiritual.
Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, a roll of parchment in her hand.
"Whoever I call by name now puts on his hat, sits on a stool, and waits for the branch." She said.
"Hannah Abbott!"
A ruddy-faced little girl with two blonde braids stumbled out of the queue and put on a hat that just covered her eyes. She sat down. There was a pause for a moment - "Hufflepuff!" The hat shouted.
"Susan Pence!"
"Hufflepuff!" The hat shouted again. Susan quickly ran over to Hannah and sat down.
"Terry Bout!" Ravenclaw!"
"Hermione Granger!"
Hermione almost ran to the stool and hurriedly buttoned her hat to her head.
"Gryffindor!" The hat shouted. Ron let out a meaningless grunt.
Looking at these young faces, Augustus couldn't help but think of the scene when he was young in the original world, which was also a magic academy, the same selection and test, but their selection was not as simple as wearing a hat, it was a real magic test and skill test. It's really nostalgic, Augustus sighed.
At this moment, the hat called Malfoy's name, and Malfoy walked over in a big way, and immediately got his wish, almost as soon as the hat touched his head, he screamed, "Slytherin!"
Moennott Parkinson was followed by a pair of Pettier twin sisters and then Sally Ann Poux, and finally it was the turn of "Harry Potter!"
As Harry walked forward, there was a sudden buzz in the dining room like the sizzling of small flames.
Harry wore the hat for longer than the average person, and then the hat shouted, "Gryffindor".
Augustus heard loud cheers and cheers coming from the long table on the Gryffindor side, while the other three houses fell silent. Professor McGonagall then pronounced out the name of another man: "Augustus Julius." ”
The Great Hall fell silent for a while, and then some of the nobles at the Slytherin table began to whisper, and Malfoy turned his head in a high-profile voice and said loudly, "Look, that pure-blood scum of Potter is nothing at all, as long as Master Augustus' can come to Slytherin, we must be the best in the house." Harry pouted disdainfully, believing that Augustus would come to Gryffindor, and that he hoped his instincts hadn't gone wrong.
As Augustus walked towards the Sorting Hat, it seemed that an invisible aura emanated from it, spreading in the air, and the entire auditorium was so oppressive that only the footsteps of Augustus could be heard.
The hat snapped into Augustus' head, and a small voice rang out.
"Oh my God? Occlumency? At such a young age, he has already mastered many spells that adult wizards can't master, which is no longer something that can be summed up by a genius. Of course, you can see that you have a strong heart, a prudent mind and a sophisticated mind, and for you, both Ravencelao and Slytherin are suitable for you. But I'm sure Slytherin can make you grow faster. Is that possible? Great, then! ”
"Slytherin!" The Great Hall fell silent for a moment as the Sorting Hat shouted, and then the nobles at the Slytherin table erupted in fierce celebration, and Malfoy exclaimed, "Ha Luha, see no, I'll say Master Augustus will come to Slytherin, Gryffindor fools, your nightmare is coming!" ”
Harry sat behind the Gryffindor table, looking incredulously at Augustus as he walked towards the Slytherin table. Hermione, on the other hand, banged on the table angrily, she couldn't believe how a man with such a gentle temperament could enter the evil Slytherin.
Augustus sat next to Malfoy, a perfect smile on his lips, and from time to time he dealt with the various Slytherin students around him who came to congratulate and celebrate. Malfoy said to Augustus with some excitement: "Young Master Augustus, I will definitely give more advice in the future!" Augustus nodded lightly, "Call me Augustus in the future, it's okay, after all, we are also friends in the world." Malfoy said even more excitedly, knowing that this was a precursor to Augustus beginning to accept him into the circle.
Now there are only three people left waiting for the assignment. Lisa Dupin became a newborn Ravenclaw. Then it was Ron's turn. His face turned blue. Harry clasped his hands under the table. In the blink of an eye, the hat shouted, "Gryffindor!"
When Ron collapsed in the seat next to Harry, Harry applauded the rest of the group. Then he glanced at Augustus, who was sitting next to Malfoy, and hey, it would be perfect if Augustus came to Gryffindor as well, Harry thought silently.
At this time, Albus Dumbledore stood up. He looked at the students with a smile on his face and stretched out his arms to them, as if nothing made him happier than seeing the students come together. "Welcome!" He said, "Welcome to Hogwarts to start the new school year!" Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. That's it: stupid! Cry! Residue! Wring! Thank you, thank you!" He sat back down. Everyone applauded and cheered.
At this time, all sorts of foods began to appear on the table, roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding, pea sprouts, carrots, gravy, ketchup, and, for some odd reason, mint hard candy.
When it was time to eat, Gryffindor began to feast without hesitation, while Slytherin remained aristocratic as usual, with the exception of Crabbe and Goyle, of course.
As the dessert was also wiped out by the students, and after the last, the food was gone, and Professor Dumbledore stood up again. The restaurant is also quiet.
"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore exclaimed. Augustus noticed that the smiles of the other teachers seemed to freeze. Augustus frowned, school song? Are you kidding.
Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a long ribbon of gold flew out of it, twisting like a snake over the high dining table.
"Each person chooses their favorite tune." Dumbledore said, "Ready, sing!"
So all the teachers and students sang loudly, Augustus opened his mouth meaninglessly, but did not make a sound, for for he would rather go to a duel with Voldemort ten times than sing some school song here.
Everyone sang the school song seven by one. Only the Weasley twin brothers continued to sing to the slow melody of the Funeral March. Dumbledore used his wand to direct the last few bars for both of them, and when they were finished, he applauded the loudest.
"Music," he said, rubbing his eyes, "is more glamorous than anything we've done here!" It's bedtime time. Let's go back to the dormitory. ”
There was a loud bang in the auditorium, and the students all stood up and began to return to their dorms with their respective prefects.
