(26) Hogwarts Sorting Rules
"After the establishment of the Quidditch Pitch, each of the four houses of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin selected a professional Quidditch team, and the deans of the four houses were responsible for captaining the professional Quidditch team. Quidditch tournaments are held once a year, and the winning house is rewarded. ”
At five o'clock in the evening, the sun sets, and the golden sunlight shines brightly on the crystal clear snow, and the snow-covered Hogwarts Castle is like a fairy tale.
Most of the snow in the Hogwarts yard was cleared, except for a long path between the buildings where only two people walked side by side.
On the path, Dumbledore walked with his hands behind his back, carrying a plain black Sorting Pointed Hat in his hands. It was a sapient mage hat, and the folded parts of its body resembled a simple face plate.
Beside Dunledore was Rolanda Hodge, the teacher of Hogwarts Flying Lessons, and behind Dunledore were the four heads of the four houses, and the four teachers, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, Filius Flitwick, and Pomona Sprout.
Tonight is the orientation party, and at the same time there is a sorting ceremony for the new students of this semester.
On the way, Dumbledore planned to explain the matter of the Quidditch pitch to the deans of the four major academies and the relevant persons in charge, and explain the task.
Although the Quidditch pitch is not currently under construction, for Dumbledore, the construction of the Quidditch pitch behemoth only takes a second.
Moreover, this is only the first Quidditch pitch, and there are likely to be many more in the future.
"Madame Hooch, when the Quidditch pitch is fully operational, you will still be responsible for the referees and the day-to-day maintenance of the Quidditch pitch. In addition to normal matches and training, regular students can also apply to go to the Quidditch pitch to practice flying and playing. ”
Dunlido was only responsible for the construction and early stage to bring the Quidditch court on the right track, and the rest of the daily maintenance required his deans and teachers.
Under the premise that there are more and more students and teachers in the future, graduates can stay in the school as teaching assistants, and the Harry Potter teachers of each major will lead a team of teachers.
Winter is the season that students look forward to the most, and in the summer, those underage children can only wade through the water for entertainment, and the result is that the magic robe is made on the map of the magical world, and the teacher is punished to stand for a few recesses.
In the winter, the students can push snowmen and have snowball fights. Especially the younger students are happy to have snowball fights, and of course they are also happy to cheat, and it is not uncommon for snowballs to rotate 270 degrees.
"Who told you to use your mage's hat to hold the snow!"
Snape was a serious, unsmiling teacher and the dean of Slytherin House. Seeing the behavior of several students directly using the mage's pointed hat to Sheng Xue, he immediately shouted to stop it.
Especially under the premise that the deans and headmasters of the other houses were present, these few students with Slytherin green snake marks on the plain-faced mage robes were obviously embarrassing to him as a dean.
These students who were rolling in the snowdrifts took the mage's pointed hat to the extreme, not only using the pointed hat to hold the snow, but even the snowman's head was covered with a pointed hat, and the snowman's nose was a poplar staff stuck in a snowball.
"Wait a minute...... Forget it, go to the Great Hall! ”
Before Mr. Snape could say anything about the punishment of the four or five students, he was stopped by Dumbledore, who shook his head and said that he did not need to punish the students, only that they needed to be stopped.
Strictly speaking, you can't punish these students for trivial things, Deng Liduo feels that sometimes it should be strict, when it should be strict, when it should be lax, when it should be lax.
And the reason why Dumbledore just shook his head to stop it was because although these teachers were extracted by him, after all, they had thoughts and emotions. In front of the students and the rest of the teachers, there are many small things that Deng Liduo will not openly deny them, after all, they also have to establish their majesty in front of the students.
"This year's number of new students has reached nearly eight hundred, and each of the four major colleges can allocate nearly two hundred people, so you try to distribute all the new students evenly according to their personality and magical talents. In addition, if you are a student who has my own ideas, I will remind you to assign them according to our words. ”
Standing in front of the wooden door of the Great Hall, Deng Liduo picked up the Sorting Hat and explained something to it.
The folds of the Sorting Hat moved, that is, he pouted at Dumbledore's words, and it was professional in the identification of talents.
Of the four houses, Gryffindor beckons brave and strong students, Slytherin recruits more magically gifted students, Ravenclaw recruits intelligent students, and Hufflepuff recruits tough, honest students.
The Great Hall is the place where Hotswag holds meetings, meals, and events, and students not only eat three meals a day in the Great Hall, but even duels will be held in the Great Hall.
The exterior of this large auditorium is magnificent, like a large medieval church, and is composed of multiple blue-gray spires, even more spectacular than the original auditorium.
Dunlido pushed open the double wooden doors of the Great Hall, and a golden ray of sunlight poured into the somewhat dark Great Hall.
Twelve tables were evenly placed in the rectangular auditorium, each of which occupied an average of four tables, and a group of nearly eight hundred freshmen gathered in a specially vacated open space in front of them.
The reason why Dumbledore didn't use a table in every house was because he thought about the image of hundreds of students spread out on a long wooden table, which would be like a train.
The auditorium is huge, with jack-o-lanterns strung with thin threads scattered across the ceiling like a starry sky.
It's just that no matter how big the auditorium is, it can only accommodate about 2,000 people, which means that Dunlido will have to build another expensive auditorium next semester.
The reason why it is expensive is that not only does the ceiling of this large hall have a magic activation mechanism like the original book, but even the floor can be activated with magic to activate even more magical changes.
The next semester may require two faculties to use a large auditorium, and it will not be possible to hold such an auditorium when the whole student body is to be gathered for an event.
It may be necessary to buy a huge stone structure that can accommodate thousands or tens of thousands of people within the system, the kind of building that resembles a Colosseum with a lid.
"Headmaster Dunlidor!"
A huge wave rang in Dumbledore's ears, and there were almost a thousand students in the room, and almost half of the students in this vast hall greeted their esteemed headmaster, Dumbledore.
made Dumbledore doubt more than once whether he came to this college to be the principal, or to this school to be a star or an artist, whether he came to the auditorium to eat, or to walk the red carpet in the auditorium.
Dumbledore couldn't believe that after the establishment of a giant magic school with tens of thousands of people in the future, the sound of the students greeting him would not cause an avalanche on the snow-capped mountain more than two hundred miles away.
