Chapter Twenty-Three: Gryffindor
"Who the hell was Snape he was talking about?" Harry looked at Egger quizzically.
Iger picked up the card in his hand and handed it to Harry: "Well, it's this big hooked nose, Severus Snape, who can appear on the card, it means that he is still a little famous, right?" ”
Looking at the gloomy man in the card, Harry was pretty sure he didn't like him...
"You're right, I'm going to hate him—" Harry shook his head in annoyance, "I'm sorry, Egger, though he's your teacher..."
"Actually, you're not the first one who doesn't like him." Ron bit a gummy candy and struggled hard: "My brother doesn't like him, even Percy, it's not your problem, our family is Gryffindor, Snape is the head of Slytherin, and most of the dark wizards are from Slytherin." ”
Harry was a little puzzled, and Hermione next to Egg nodded, "That's true, the mysterious man who left you that scar was also a student of Slytherin, I saw it in the history of modern magic, although I don't know his name..."
Harry swore he wouldn't go anywhere to Slytherin...
"Egger, what academy are you going to attend?" Harry asked, looking at Egg.
Egger hummed for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Out of pride, I was hoping to get me to Ravenclaw to prove that I was a smart person, but in fact I don't like Ravenclaw very much, and it's good to go to Slytherin, those guys love and hate me, and Hufflepuff is not bad, although I haven't found their common room, and I've heard that it's close to the kitchen... Gryffindor was naturally the most ideal, and Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall wanted me to go there, anyway... It's a little complicated, but I'm still in one sentence after all this, where is Hermione, I'm there. ”
Harry was a little puzzled, "The Sorting... Did you choose it? ”
"I think I should have the right to choose, if I don't choose, I'll throw that broken hat into the Black Lake and suppress it for 10,000 years." Egg shrugged, and Hermione's little face flushed, obviously embarrassed by Egger's words just now.
"Broken hat?" Ron looked at Egg a little strangely, "What hat?" ”
"You'll know when you get there, I won't reveal it, it's the fun of new students at Hogwarts for thousands of years, and to be honest, those parents are really nasty..."Egg ate the chocolate frog in his hand and tore open another package: "emmm... It's Professor McGonagall. ”
"Mine is Dumbledore..."Harry looked at the card in his hand, muttering the words on the card, "1945... Grindelwald... Twelve uses of dragon's blood, with partner Nick Lemay...... Ten Pillars Wooden Ball Play..."
"I've always thought dragon blood should have a thirteenth use, but Severus won't give it to me, he says it's not a potion..."
"The thirteenth? What is it used for? Hermione looked at Egg in surprise.
The corners of Egg's mouth curled slightly: "Eat..."
Hermione chuckled and reached out to hammer Egger on the shoulder.
With the laughter of several people, the speed of the train gradually slowed down.
"It's time to change." Egger swept his wand over his body, and his clothes changed suddenly, except for the red shirt, everything else became Hogwarts uniforms.
"Your shirt should be changed to a shirt for your school uniform." Hermione looked at the red shirt on Egger's body, and she didn't know what it meant: "You've been wearing it for three years, Egger." ”
The shirt was Aisha's gift to Egger, and Egg felt that this bright red color matched him very well, and his fair little face looked coquettish with a red shirt...
"It's okay." Egg spread his hands and flicked his wand, and the clothes on Hermione's body changed in an instant.
"Isn't my Transfiguration good?" Egg laughed, "Lady Morkin has never been very fond of me, because I rarely go to her to buy clothes except for my robes..."
Ron looked at Egg enviously, "Can you help me change into a new school uniform?" ”
"Absolutely." Egger flicked his wand, and Ron and Harry's clothes also changed: "I have to remind you that my level of transformation is limited, the deformation on my clothes is not permanent, you better change it after wearing it today, I just think it is too troublesome to change clothes in the carriage." ”
The two nodded, and began to pack their things.
"In five minutes, the train will arrive at Hogwarts, please leave your luggage on the train and we will take you to the school." A voice rang out in the carriage, Harry and Ron turned a little pale, and Hermione looked a little unpleasant, obviously overly nervous, because Egg had never told her how she was sorted.
As soon as a few people got out of the car, they heard a familiar voice shouting: "First-year freshman, come here!" Egger, Harry, over here! How is everything? ”
Under Hagrid's beard, black beetle-like eyes smiled.
"Come on, come with me, are there any new first-year students? Beware of your feet, come with me! Hagrid carried a lamp and led the group forward.
The freshmen around Egger looked nervous, no one spoke, only Egger's whistle fluttered in the wind in the dark night, and Egger blew to kill Bill... The sound was very eerie.
"Turn this corner, and you'll soon see Hogwarts for the first time." Hagrid turned around and shouted, then looked at Egg beside him, "Of course, you've seen it many times, don't reveal too much..."
Egg grinned, Hagrid would have thought like this?
A large group of people came to the Black Lake, on which there were boats floating one after another, and on the hillside on the other side of the lake stood a majestic ancient castle, above which were lined with spires, and a window with lights flashed under the sea of stars in the night sky.
"No more than four people per boat!" Hagrid gestured to the boat on the lake.
The four of them got on a small boat, and a few minutes later, the boat slowly wandered towards the other side of the lake.
Egg looked at Hogwarts in front of him and couldn't help but be a little amazed: "It's the first time I've seen it from this perspective... It's like hanging over our heads, it's amazing, isn't it? ”
It's a pity that no one around him seems to be listening to him, and the minds of several people don't seem to be on this, although they also think it's good-looking.
Hagrid led the students to the castle and knocked three times on the gate, which opened, and a tall black-haired witch in an emerald green robe stood in front of the gate, looking at the students with a serious expression.
"First-year freshman, Professor McGonagall." Hagrid said.
"Alright, thank you, Hagrid, and leave it to me right now." Professor McGonagall nodded, and then opened the door, the foyer was very large, and Egg was not interested at all, the foyer was obviously not as fun as the kitchen or something...
Led the freshmen to a small empty room on the other side of the auditorium, Professor McGonagall looked at the group of freshmen, her eyes swept over Harry's face, and then a smile leaked from the corner of Egger's mouth, but she quickly took it back.
"Welcome to Hogwarts, the opening feast is about to begin, but before you enter the Great Hall, first of all, you must determine which house you are going to, the Sorting House is a very important meaning, because during your time at school, Hogwarts is your home, and you will have to attend classes with the rest of the house and live together."
"The four houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin......" Professor McGonagall was still talking, and Iger was in a bit of a trance, which was quite interesting to think about, and this kind of thing in the Sorting House made me a little nervous.
"In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will take place in front of all the teachers and students of the school, and I suggest you get in order in the waiting room, and be in good spirits..."Professor McGonagall looked at Egger's red collar, "I hope you can change your shirt next time, Mr. Morissus." ”
Hermione nodded earnestly, apparently agreeing with Professor McGonagall's words.
While waiting, Egg also saw the Fat Friar's ghosts discussing about Peeves, and the sudden appearance of the ghosts frightened the freshmen, and the Fat Friar greeted Egg with a smile, hoping that Egg would get a Hufflepuff.
Egg's popularity at Hogwarts has always been very good, even Snape won't do anything to him, of course, it may just be that Snape can't do anything to him...
After a while, Professor McGonagall returned, motioning for the freshmen to line up and follow her into the auditorium.
Harry felt like his legs were filled with lead, and it seemed that Ron and Hermione were too, and then turned his head to look at Egg, Harry felt that Ron was right, Iger really looked like a great magician, at least he looked much calmer than he was now.
A group of freshmen trembled after Professor McGonagall, and were immediately attracted by the opulent decorations of the auditorium, where tens of thousands of candles lit up the auditorium above the four rows of long tables.
Egger didn't think it was candles, at least he hadn't seen them go out, and he had tried to catch one, but Professor Flitwick showed up in time to stop it...
Iger smiled and waved to the teacher's seat at the back of the auditorium, smiling happily as he saw that Snape was wearing the dark green robe he had given him.
I was obviously surprised to see the students around me, when did this old bat start to like the color green...
Hermione whispered beside Egger, "This ceiling spell looks like the sky outside, I read it in the Hogwarts: A History of the School that you gave me." ”
Iger nodded: "Calm down, I know you're nervous, but nothing will happen, trust me." ”
Hermione stopped chattering and seemed to have calmed down a lot.
Professor McGonagall walked over with a quadrangular stool and the Sorting Hat, and Egg heard the Sorting Hat singing, and he felt that the Sorting Hat was singing more rhymes this year than he had been the year he had come, which made him feel good.
"Looks like we'll just have to take this hat on... I'm going to kill Fred, and I thought I'm going to fight trolls when he says so..."Ron whispered in the ears of several people.
"Whoever I call by name now will take his hat and sit on a stool and wait for the Sorting House." Professor McGonagall held a list: "Hannah Abbott! ”
Iger couldn't help but grin, what a fucking iron-beaten Hannah Abbot...
Professor McGonagall read one by one, "Hermione Granger! ”
Hermione took a deep breath a little nervously, stumbling over her mouth.
"How the hell did you stand her?" Ron frowned at Hermione's back and whispered in Egg's ear.
"My future wife, I have to be nice to her." Egg smiled, but Harry and Ron were clearly taken lightly by Egger's words.
"Dude, you're thinking too early," Ron looked at Egg in surprise.
"The cultivation of wives should start from the doll." Egg nodded affirmatively: "I suggest that you should also have a goal, I heard that single men generally mix badly." ”
Ron pursed his lips, remembering his mother: "I think it's miserable to get married..."
"Gryffindor!!" The Sorting Hat's scream rang out, and Hermione looked at Egg expectantly, and sat down at the Gryffindor table.
After a while, Professor McGonagall's gaze fell on her.
"Egger Morissus."
There was a whisper, the seniors looked at Egger excitedly, in the teacher's seat, Snape looked at Egger with a very threatening look in his eyes, Professor Flitwick tilted his head and nodded at Egg, Professor Sprout looked at Egger with a smile, but she looked at her with a casual attitude.
Professor McGonagall watched as Iger pursed her lips with her hat in her hand, and finally said, "The Sorting Hat will respect your choice, Egger." ”
There was another whisper from below.
"It's not fair, Professor McGonagall is hinting at him—" a Ravenclaw girl said to her friend, Snape's face darkened in the teacher's seat...
Egg grinned, put on his hat, and the voice of the Sorting Hat rang in his head.
"Egger, this is our first communication, and I regret not being able to talk to you before, I think it must be interesting."
Iger laughed, "I'm honored. ”
"I can see that you are very intelligent, very clever, you have all the qualities of Ravenclaw, ah... Yes, Parseltongue, it's not bad to go to Slytherin, you have your own nobility. Kind-hearted, Hufflepuff must be willing to accept you, brave and fearless, Gryffindor traits..."The Sorting Hat whispered, "Dumbledore said I don't need to help you decide, so I want to ask, do you have a choice?" ”
"See that little girl with unkempt hair?" Iger said to the Sorting Hat, "I like her a lot. ”
"Ah, that's a very clever little witch, you have a lot of vision, I was wondering if she belonged to Ravenclaw, but fortunately I found out that she shines more than wisdom, her name is Hermione Granger, right?" The Sorting Hat whispered in Egger's mind, "Then ......"
"Gryffindor !!"
The shouts of the Sorting Hat rang out, and the Gryffindor table burst into applause, Percy clapped with some excitement, and a group of junior students couldn't figure out why the seniors were so excited.
Professor McGonagall couldn't suppress the smile on her face at this time, and stepped forward to hug Egger: "Come to my office tomorrow evening, I think it's time to help you transform into Animagus..."
Listening to Professor McGonagall's whispers in her ear, Egg grinned, and in the audience, Hermione slapped her face with excitement, her little face flushed.
Sitting down at the Gryffindor table, Percy whispered in Egger's ear, "Be careful, Snape just snapped a fork..."
Iger turned his head to look at Snape, who looked at Egg with a gloomy face, and Egg grinned and stuck his tongue out at Snape.
Harry looked at Snape, the scar on his head ached for a moment, and then Ron beside him was called up.
"Gryffindor!"
Sure enough, Ron was split and sat down next to Percy not far away.
Half an hour later, with the applause at the Gryffindor table, Harry sat down beside Egger.
"Looks like we're all together." Iger smiled and clapped his hands.
"Hey, you're Egger? We've heard of you. ”
Not far away, two red-haired boys who looked exactly the same approached with a grin: "Meet you, Fred." ”
"George!"
