01. School has started
The summer vacation seemed to pass quickly, and when Sherlock thought that Voldemort and the Death Eaters should make a move during this time, the other party was unusually quiet, as if he had suddenly changed from a radical to a Buddhist youth, and just when Sherlock was speculating about how Voldemort's next move should go, his short two-month summer vacation was over.
"What's going on?" Before Sherlock came to his senses, his mother Ellie had already begun to pack up his and Asinsha's things for the new semester, which made Sherlock only lament that the time for freedom always passed so quickly.
"Now our Mephisto family is in a particularly prominent position in the wizarding world, the outside world always describes our family as monopolizing power in the Ministry of Magic, of course, the center behind this is your existence, so try not to attract too much attention in the school, and you told me before to try to mobilize all the resources and forces of the wizarding world to Hogwarts......"
In front of the gate of Mephisto Lodge, Fumond spoke very seriously to Sherlock, and sure enough, the offspring who were too good often made the parents worry more.
Sherlock had previously told Fourmond that it was impossible for Mephisto to fall into Voldemort's camp, but it would be too risky to go it alone, so the best solution was to reach a cooperative alliance strategy with Hogwarts, not by the students at Hogwarts, of course, but by Dumbledore, and the Order of the Phoenix camp created by Dumbledore.
This is a truly elite team of wizards, and Sherlock doesn't want the other party to watch the show in vain.
"I've already thought of a way to reach a tilt with Hogwarts, this is still the way after communicating with Fudge, the Ministry of Magic will send an investigator to stay at Hogwarts as a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, after all, Hogwarts has not recruited a qualified Defence Against the Dark Arts professor this year, and the Ministry of Magic has specially sent one, although it is an inquisitor, but in fact, it is to deepen the connection between Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic."
Fourmond said that it seemed like a pretty good idea.
Sherlock opened his mouth and let out a laugh, and sure enough, this year, the Ministry of Magic sent the old woman Umbridge to Hogwarts, and it seemed that it was still at the behest of Funmond.
It's just ...... Originally, I thought that the Ministry of Magic would not let Umbridge the old woman be wrapped up in chaos, but now it seems that Sherlock is thinking too much, and in the original book, Umbridge was assigned by Fudge to go to Hogwarts as an inquisitor.
And here, it is the hope that the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts will deepen their ties and continue to go to Hogwarts as an inquisitor, and it seems that he has suddenly changed from the villain in the original book to a symbol of friendship.
"Well, since you decide, then Asinsha and I will set off, and now after Voldemort's return, the wizarding world has become a barrel of explosives that can explode at any time, so you should be more careful." Sherlock said to Fourmond and Ellie, and then pulled Asin Sha and vanished in front of them.
The sky was darkening, dark clouds were filling, and the scarlet train was speeding all the way, and the shrill whistle resounded over the barren fields.
By the time Sherlock and Asin Sha appeared at Hogsmeade, the train was already slowly approaching the station.
This year they started a little late, but it was also just in time for the new students to start school.
Night fell, there were no stars above the dark sky, and it was a moonless night, and the compartment of the train was lit up with a faint yellow light.
Eventually, the train began to slow down, and they heard the usual noise coming and going, and everyone was messing up with their luggage and their pets, ready to get off the train.
Stepping out of the train, a hint of coolness hits, the sky is still a little drizzle, holding up a black umbrella, the air is full of fresh earthy smell, and the cool mint smell unique to the rainy season.
Sherlock infiltrated the Hogwarts students with Asinsha, and now that Sherlock was in his sixth year, he would be able to graduate from Hogwarts if he stayed for another year this year.
Last year, Sherlock also successfully passed the OL of the ordinary wizard level exam, and now it is the turn of her sister Asinsha to have a headache with the ordinary wizard level exam, but she should pass it easily.
For junior wizards who have not gone through the OL exam, this is a hurdle in their academic career.
Not far away, a lively woman's voice was shouting, "First-year students, please line up here!" All first-year students come to me! ”
A lantern lit up the night, and coming from the lake was the female professor who had substituted for Hagrid last year.
"Why didn't Hagrid come, he didn't always do the job of welcoming first-year students." Hermione looked at Gepra in the lantern light in surprise, and she didn't know when she came over and walked hand in hand with Asinsha.
Now Hermione saw that Sherlock was not so nervous, but leaned on Asin Yarn to be more cordial, as if always staying with Asin Yarn would show that sweetness, the key is that these are obviously two girls.
Sherlock looked at them and thought to himself, Ashinsha wouldn't be going to give Hermione a strategy.
"Probably Dumbledore has been assigned some important task again, you know, Hagrid has always been the person he values the most, and now that Voldemort is resurrected, at such an important stage, Hagrid will naturally not deal with this trivial matter of picking up new students." Sherlock groaned slightly.
Walk past the lake and the stone path leading to Hogwarts Castle comes into view.
A hundred carriages were parked side by side on the side of the road, and in the middle of the carriages, Thestrals stood quietly on the bluestone slabs.
They are very emaciated, with a black shell attached to the skeleton, and every bone is clearly visible.
The wings protrude on either side, and the black leather-like wings make them look like they should belong to the category of giant bats.
Luna sat quietly in the carriage and watched the singing, Sherlock and Assinsha and Hermione sat in Luna's carriage, the four of them knew each other, but it seemed to be two couples, Sherlock just smiled at Luna and didn't speak.
But this atmosphere in the face of Hermione and Asin Sha made Sherlock so embarrassed that she couldn't stand it.
The carriage rattled and shook along the road.
Passing the stone pillars carved with tall flying pigs on both sides of the Hogwarts school entrance, Hogwarts Castle approached, a tower full of small towers, all black and pointing to the black night sky, and on top of it there were windows shining brightly.
The carriage staggered like a drunken halt near the stone steps of the castle, facing the oak front door.
Finally able to get out of the car, Kirk, Lupo, Fiumia, Dandeni and others were waiting for Sherlock at the gate, and they followed the flow of people into the castle.
But when I saw Sherlock, the first person who rushed over was not the reckless Lupo, nor the eccentric and grinning Femia, but Dandney, who pulled Sherlock's sleeve and whispered, "My uncle and aunt are back, to be honest, they were imprisoned in Azkaban since I was about a year old a year after I was born, I have no impression of them since I was a child, but I have seen from the photos that the Lestrange family used to be prosperous, and now my uncles are still in the body, And some of the older cousins and cousins are back. ”
Dandeni tugged at Sherlock's sleeve and shook it from side to side, "I really didn't know Azkaban locked up so many Lestrange people, that's a ......"
"They are all escaped fugitives." Sherlock looked at Dandney and said, "If you know where they're hiding, tell me that if you dislike them, I'll get the Aurors to recapture your aunts and uncles back in Azkaban." ”
Dandeni waved his hand, "The point is, I don't know where they are, they just came back to see my grandmother, but the way the guys stared at me made me uncomfortable." ”
Sherlock smiled, of course it would be uncomfortable, feeling that if the Mephisto family forces were to fight Voldemort's Death Eater camp, it would be equivalent to a melee between pure-blood wizard relatives in the wizarding world.
Who's family and whose family must not have some blood relationship.
It's a mess......
They made their way to the halls of the school, and Sherlock told Dandeney to rest his mind until the freshmen were finished in the house.
In the main hall, four long tables glittered under a starless black ceiling, just as they saw the night sky through the high windows.
Candles floated in mid-air along the long tables, illuminating the silvery ghosts that dotted the halls, and the students chatted excitedly, exchanging news about the summer vacation, shouting hello to friends from other houses, and commenting on new hairstyles and robes.
Despite the excitement of the students' exchanges, the biggest topic of conversation revolved around the two camps of Mephisto and Voldemort, and even the students began to plan for the future.
The wizarding world is no longer a comfortable haven, and sooner or later disaster will burn to Hogwarts.
The atmosphere at the Slytherin table was a little quiet, and they waited until Sherlock was in his usual place to eat, and then someone began to speak quietly, Sherlock was already the leader of Slytherin House.
Mia quietly glanced at Sherlock next to her, she was now on a mission, during the summer vacation, his parents, the Olesos and his wife, had recommended Mia to the Death Eater camp, and now this little girl had the Dark Mark on her wrist.
Of course, it doesn't usually show up, only when Voldemort summons.
Teachers began to take their seats in the faculty seats.
"Huh? Who's that guy in the teacher's seat? Suddenly, a Slytherin student whispered about the location next to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore's head was tilted toward a graceful young woman sitting beside him, who was speaking into his ear.
She sat in a chair, dressed richly and beautifully, with a beautiful face, and crucially, a slight resemblance to Sherlock and Asinsha.
When Sherlock and Asinsha saw the woman, their mouths were wide open and they were almost ready to stuff an egg.
"Isn't that Mrs. Ellie?" Lupo poked Sherlock in the elbow.
"I saw it too, and if you asked me, I wouldn't know." Sherlock spread his hands helplessly.
"Lady Ellie? Mr. Sherlock's mother, I've been to Mephisto House several times, so I'm familiar with Mrs. Ellie...... But haven't you all noticed that Lady Ellie is sitting in the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's seat? Femiaya suddenly spoke excitedly to the people around her.
If Ellie really became a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, wouldn't she have unlimited opportunities for contact?
Femiaa became quite excited at the moment.
Sherlock touched his chin awkwardly, in this way, Fu Meng did not arrange for Umbridge to come to Hogwarts as an inquisitor, but directly asked his mother Ellie to come over, this bloodline is from the former Soviet Union, Sherlock knows that the other party's magic strength is better than Fu Mund.
She is also proficient in potions, and if you compare her personal strength, Ellie can at least compete with the former elite Auror, Moody of the Order of the Phoenix.
"Asinsha, that ...... That can't be your mom, right? Hermione pointed to the reverse side of the teacher's seat in confusion.
"Don't ask me, I'm confused, but my mom is so fun, who knows what she's going to do." ”
The first-year procession marched into the castle in a long column, and Professor McGonagall held a stool with an old wizard's hat on top of it, with patches on top of it and a wide tear in the frayed brim.
The faces of the first-year students shimmered pale in the candlelight, and a little boy in the middle of the line looked as if he was shivering.
The whole school waited with bated breath.
Then the crack by the brim of the hat opened like a mouth, and the Sorting Hat sang aloud:
I was a new hat a long time ago, before Hogwarts was built, and the four founders of the Noble Hall thought they would never go their separate ways.
They are united by a common goal, and their aspirations are so similar: to build the best magic school in the world, so that their knowledge can be passed on and perpetuated.
"We will build a school together and teach together!" The four friends were resolute in their intentions, but they never dreamed that one day they would split up with each other. What other friends are there in this world. Better than Slytherin and Gryffindor.
Unless you count the other pair of best friends, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, how can such a good thing go wrong.
How could such a friendship be written off, alas, I have witnessed this sad story with my own eyes, so I can tell you it in detail here.
Slytherin said, "The students we teach must be of the purest blood. ”
Ravenclaw said, "The students we teach must be intellectually superior. ”
Gryffindor said: "The students we teach. You must be brave and courageous. ”
Hufflepuff said, "I'm going to teach a lot of people and treat them the same. ”
Countless quarrels, countless fights, and former best friends turned against each other.
Finally, one morning, the elderly Slytherin ran away.
Even though the strife had subsided, he left us discouraged.
Only three of the four founders remained, and from then on, the situation of the four colleges was no longer as harmonious and united as it had been imagined in the past.
Now that the Sorting Hat is in front of you, you all know what happened: I have divided you into every house, because my duties cannot be changed.
But this year I'm going to say a few more words, and I ask you to listen carefully to my new song: as much as I am destined to divide you, I fear that it is not the right thing to do.
Although I had to do my duty to divide the new students into four parts each year, I feared that such a classification would lead to the collapse that I feared.
Oh, know the dangers, read the signs, the lessons of history warn us that our Hogwarts is in danger, and that enemies outside the school are eyeing us.
We have to be united internally, or everything will fall apart from within. I've spoken out to you, I've sounded the alarm for you, and now let's begin the Sorting House.
"This year's Sorting Hat song seems to be a bit longer, well, it seems to be the first time that such a long story has been written." Sherlock sighed, looking helplessly at Ellie waving at him.
