Chapter 14: The Breath of the Prairie
"Sure enough... Fate must be in your own hands, otherwise it feels like being treated as a pawn..."
"It sucks..."
The spiritual barrier of the spiritual world was closely guarded, and there was no strange feeling coming from it, which was the main reason why Louis had the courage to look at Dumbledore.
As for the secondary reasons...
Alas!
In the history of Hogwarts, no new student has dared to question the Sorting Hat's decision.
So, at this time, regardless of Louis' desire to burst out of silent strength and refuse the Sorting Hat, or rather, Dumbledore's decision for him, he could only dispel the black mist in his palm, and walked in the direction from which the cheers came from with a smile on his face.
Gryffindor greeted Louis with a lot of people.
For example, the first few people who shook hands with him wore badges on their chests, maybe Gryffindor prefects or something, and the people who greeted him warmly were Li Jordan, twins and others, Percy stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder hard, and said with a smile:
"Louie, welcome to Gryffindor."
"Thank you, Percy."
Louis smiled and nodded, and replied, "It's an honor to join Gryffindor!" ”
"You're right, Louie!"
George happily agreed, "After you join Gryffindor, we can be together again!" ”
"And..."
Fred winked suggestively at Louis and lowered his voice, "Every night in the future, we might be able to do something interesting!" ”
With that, George and Fred parted from the left and right, and motioned for Louis to sit between them.
Louis looked around, and noticed that the people around him were projecting strange glances, and he suddenly felt the urge to strangle the twins.
"A night tour is a night tour! Why are you so ambiguous? ”
However, it is impossible to strangle the twins in full view, and as for the night tour that the two are talking about...
Anyway, Louie is not interested for the time being.
The sorting ceremony continued, and one by one the freshmen accepted the arrangement of the sorting hats and went to the seats of each college.
Louis didn't pay attention to which house the inconsequential freshmen were sorted into, and he even completely ignored the expedition plan that George and Fred talked about, and the only thing on his mind was the very likely thing that Dumbledore would arrange a sorting house.
After Professor McGonagall quietly paid attention to himself and had an ominous premonition, Louis vaguely guessed that Dumbledore was likely to use his identity as an Obscurity to do something, such as using the power of the Obscure to deal with Voldemort or something.
But forcibly arranging the operation of the branch ...
Looks like a bit of a bargain for Dumbledore, right?
Look at the group of guys in the HP movie, from the protagonist Harry, Ron, Hermione and others, to the traitor Snape, the Weasleys and others, all of them were played by Dumbledore, and they were willing to die for him.
Dumbledore said that he was going to sell him, and he fooled Harry into a cripple, determined to die with Voldemort.
Dumbledore said that he was going to sell the car, and he fooled Snape, and his means were extremely clever, and he would pout his ass when he pouted his ass, and he wouldn't ask what he was doing specifically.
Look at what Dumbledore is doing right now...
He just wanted Louis to join Gryffindor and become the senior of Harry the Savior, and after the two got along, Harry would be able to have one more Silent thug to help save our wizards.
But it's still that sentence, Louis personally thinks that Dumbledore's arrangement is a bit tough, not quite like Dumbledore's drizzle and silent means in the HP movie, and it doesn't conform to the character setting of his old silver coin, so Louis always thinks that Dumbledore must have some other killer hidden useless.
Like what...
Aphrodisiac?
"Dumbledore would be fine if he used Hermione's aphrodisiac on me, in case it's Harry, Ron's..."
At the thought of this, Louie suddenly felt a shudder, and tomorrow he was going to go to the library to see if there was an antidote or something for the aphrodisiac.
While Louis was pondering Dumbledore's killer plan, the Sorting House ended, and by the time Dumbledore, as Head of Hogwarts, had finished speaking, everyone could enjoy a variety of food in the Great Hall.
Dumbledore's speech could not have been simpler, with a kind smile on his face, and he opened his arms to all the students and said:
"You've probably heard it many times, but I'm still going to say... Welcome to Hogwarts! ”
"The new semester is about to begin, and I would like to say a few words before the banquet begins, that is..."
"Stupid! Cry! Rubbish! Wring! ”
"Thank you! The party begins! ”
After a few words, Dumbledore picked up the spoon and tapped the cup in front of him, and the table in front of everyone was instantly filled with food.
For a moment, the freshmen were fascinated by Dumbledore's magic and stared at the food on the table, while the senior students completely ignored Dumbledore's magic and were attracted by the food in front of them.
Looking at George beside him, Weasley picked up the chicken leg and began to nibble, Louis slowly picked up a knife and fork and cut a steak, like the freshmen, very curious about what magic Dumbledore used to conjure so much food.
"Transfiguration?"
"No, that's not in line with the five basic rules of Gamp's Transfiguration, so Dumbledore used..."
"It's more like some kind of summoning spell!"
"And these foods... Presumably all made by Hogwarts house-elves, right? ”
While eating steak and analyzing the principle of Dumbledore's magic, Louis soon saw many ghosts emerging from the castle and greeted the new students, causing a commotion, and his attention was also focused on the ghosts, eager to catch a few and study them.
Soon, the banquet ended.
The plates on the table, the waste was emptied in an instant, and Dumbledore stood up again, announcing to everyone:
"I am thrilled that the school has a new professor, and Professor Rize Jackson will be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
Sparse applause began to erupt in the auditorium, after all... Every year Hogwarts changes a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.
No one can safely teach Defence Against the Dark Arts for a year.
It is said to be a curse of a certain nostril plugging.
And this year's professor in charge of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Ruiz Jackson, looked a little happy in Louie's opinion, and it turned out to be a bit like the steel pot of a cross talk club.
After introducing this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Louis listened to Dumbledore continue:
"In addition, there are a few things that need to be notified, first-year students need to be aware that the wooded area on the school grounds is not accessible to any students, and the same is true for senior students."
"Mr. Filch, the administrator, also asked me to remind everyone not to use magic in the hallways between classes."
"The Quidditch player review will take place in the second week of the semester, so students who are interested in participating in the House team selection will be asked to contact Madame Hooch."
After briefly emphasizing the rules to be instructed every semester, Dumbledore waved his wand seemingly casually, and the text floated in front of everyone.
"Alright, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!"
As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, as the Hogwarts choir appeared, everyone began to sing the school song to their own rhythm, including Louis.
The difference is...
Louis sang the Hogwarts school song, using the unique hot mouth singing method of Mr. Pain, and the melody of "Wings of Steel" fully made this group of wizards feel the breath of the vast grassland...
"Hogg... Woz... Hog, Hog, Hogwarts! ”
"Excuse me... We! The knowledge we need! ”
