Chapter 15 Sorting Ceremony in the Hardest-Hit Area

Filth, filth, filth

A crimson steam locomotive is parked next to a platform packed with passengers. The sign on the train reads: Hogwarts Express, eleven o'clock. Harry reflected on how he had gotten into the two trains.

Especially the 9 and 3/4 platform is exciting to think about

Harry was even more excited when he found some of his best friends from school in the crowd, and before he could say hello to them, Harry got into the car first.

Finding an unmanned car, Harry sat in first

After a while, he pushed open the door and made his first friend in his life, the red-haired Ron, of course, he didn't know yet.

That night, Harry and the others got off the train and arrived outside Hogwarts, and then arrived at Hogwarts Castle in a magical boat under Hagrid's guidance.

Professor McGonagall, a tall dark-haired witch in an emerald green robe, stood in front of the gate. She looked serious, and Harry's first thought was that this man was not easy to deal with.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said, "the opening party is about to begin, but before you get to the dining hall and take your seats, you should first determine which house you are going to. Sorting is an important ritual because during your time at school the house is like your home at Hogwarts. You will attend classes with other students in the college, live in the dormitory of the college, and spend your free time together in the common room of the college.

"The names of the four houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own glorious history and has produced outstanding witches and wizards. During your time at Hogwarts, your outstanding performance will earn extra points for your house, while any misconduct will result in a loss of points for your house. At the end of the year, the college with the highest score receives the House Cup, which is a high honor. I hope that no matter which house you are assigned to, you will be able to bring glory to the college.

"In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of all the teachers and students of the school. I suggest that you get in order and be refreshed while you wait. ”

A double door leads into the luxurious dining room.

Harry never imagined that there would be such a magical, beautiful, and magnificent place. Students from the rest of the academy were already seated around four long tables, above which thousands of candles fluttered in the air lit up the cafeteria. Four tables are lined with glittering gold plates and goblets.

At the top of the cafeteria is a long table with the teachers' seats. Professor McGonagall brought the first-year students over there and had them line up in front of the entire upper class, with the teachers behind them. The candlelight flickered, and hundreds of faces staring at them were like pale lanterns. The ghosts also mingled among the students, shimmering with a hazy silver light.

Harry looked up to avoid their gaze and saw stars twinkling on the velvety black ceiling. He heard Hermione whisper, "There was a spell here, and it looked like the sky outside, I read about it in Hogwarts, a school history." ”

It's hard to believe that there is a ceiling on it, and it's hard to believe that the roof of the restaurant isn't open-air.

Professor McGonagall gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first-year freshman, and placed a wizard's hat on the stool. The hat was patched, worn out, and dirty.

Maybe they're going to conjure a rabbit out of this hat, Harry thought, maybe that's what happened - he noticed that everyone in the restaurant was staring at the hat, so he stared at it too. There was silence in the restaurant. Then, the hat twisted. The brim of the hat was torn open with a wide slit like a mouth—and the hat began to sing:

You may think I'm not pretty,

But don't judge people by their appearance.

If you can find a more beautiful hat than mine,

I can eat myself.

You can make your bowler hat jet black and shiny,

Keep your high-capped caps smooth and structured.

I'm a Hogwarts test hat,

Naturally, they are taller than your hats.

Any thought hidden in your mind,

can't escape the golden eyes of the magic hat.

Put it on and try it,

I'll tell you which house you should be assigned to.

You may belong to Gryffindor, where there is bravery buried in the bottom of your heart,

Their courage, courage and boldness make Gryffindor stand out;

You may belong to Hufflepuff, where the people are honest and loyal,

Hufflepuff students are stoic and honest, unafraid of hard labor;

If you are shrewd, you may get into the wisdom of old Ravenclaw,

Those who are wise and learned will always meet their fellow believers there;

Maybe you'll go to Stetelin, maybe you'll make sincere friends here,

But those who are cunning and insidious will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Come put me on! Don't be afraid! Don't panic!

In my hands (even though I don't even have one) you are absolutely safe

Because I'm a thinking hat!

After the Magic Hat finished singing, the audience applauded, and the Magic Hat bowed to the four tables one by one, and then stood still.

"So, we're just going to put on this hat." Ron whispered to Harry, "I'm going to kill Fred, and I hear him say it's like he's going to fight a giant." ”

Of course, wearing a hat was much better than a spell, but he still didn't want to wear it in front of everyone. It seems that this hat is a bit more demanding.

Harry didn't think he had the courage or the quick-leverness or anything else. If Hat proposes to have an academy for the indecisive, that would be the most appropriate place for him.

Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, a roll of parchment in her hand.

"Whoever I call by name now puts on his hat and sits on a stool and waits for the Sorting House." She said, "Hannah Abbott!"

A little girl with a flushed face and 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.

The people at the table on the right applauded Hannah and welcomed her to their table. Harry saw the Fat Friar's ghost and waved happily at her.

"Susan Pence!"

"Hufflepuff!" The hat shouted again. Susan quickly ran over to Hannah and sat down.

Beibei, who successfully mixed into the team, rubbed his brows, good guys, there are 9 people, and it is really the hardest hit area, is this going to be 99 to one.

The ranks continued to dwindle until at last only one person was left in the north

The Sorting Hat looked at the north, stunned for a long time with a mournful tone

"North Luise Caroline Vicky Martina"
