Chapter 55: Mock Branch
"First-year freshman, follow me. ”
Professor McGonagall nodded at Elena, her mouth pursed as if she hadn't been as tight as before, and turned sideways to open the door wide, motioning for the freshmen to follow her in.
Hogwarts Castle is a bit larger than most of Europe, and it looks like Gringotts, apparently with some large volume of wizarding visitors in mind.
The group walked through the oak door into the hall, surrounded by blazing torches around the stone walls, and the ceiling was so high that it was barely visible. The façade is a lavish marble staircase that leads upstairs.
Along the stone floor, Professor McGonagall led the first-year students to a small, empty room at the other end of the hall, turned around, folded her hands in front of her dark green robes, straightened her back, and cleared her throat as her eyes wandered over the nervous faces of the freshmen.
"Welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said, "but there are a few important things to explain to the ladies and gentlemen before ......the opening feast" (click to expand for details)
Listening to Professor McGonagall's familiar introduction to admissions, as well as the introductions of the various colleges before the sorting house, Elena rolled her eyes rather speechlessly, and pursed the corners of her lips disapprovingly.
Not to mention the fixed number of words in all the same people in this previous life, she doesn't know that she has seen it many times, just saying that this passage is infinitely equivalent to nonsense from now until the next seven years.
It's not that there's anything wrong with this passage itself, it's mainly that Gryffindor House has been blatantly cheating since Harry Potter was enrolled.
Prior to the sixth year, Dumbledore was able to get the House Cup into the arms of Gryffindor House at the end of the semester, regardless of how much the House's total score was deducted.
Of course, in Elena's opinion, this is actually not a bad thing, after all, no matter how she dies, it will not affect the final House Cup, and naturally there will be no psychological pressure or guilt.
Just when Elena was bored enough to harass little Hermione next to her—such as scratching her palms with her fingers or playing with Hermione's hair—Professor McGonagall's admission instructions finally came to an end.
"Some of the seniors haven't arrived at the castle yet, and they will probably have to wait for about half an hour before the sorting ceremony begins. ”
Considering that it was rare for a freshman to wait so long before this, Professor McGonagall thought for a moment, drew her wand and waved it, and to the exclamations of the first-year freshmen, a large soft wool carpet suddenly appeared on the hardstone floor.
"Until then, you can sit down and rest for a while. ”
Professor McGonagall glanced sharply at the young wizards and continued, "While you wait, try to be as quiet as possible. ”
With that, she walked out of the room.
As Professor McGonagall left, the heavy wooden door slammed shut, and the little wizards breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the soft wool carpet without any image, and began to discuss in a whisper.
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but Professor McGonagall said a lot, but she didn't say anything about the way she skipped the most important sorting ceremony.
"Oh, I've heard Fred say that the Sorting thing could hurt us a lot. But I think he's probably joking. ”
Ron, who had five older brothers attending Hogwarts, quickly became the center of attention, with many young wizards surrounding him, hoping to get some news about the Sorting from him.
"Not necessarily, my cousin said that the sorting ceremony is a magic cast in public to prove that the school did not send the wrong admission invitation, and I don't know if the meeting will be successful [fluorescent flash]. ”
Neville said sullenly, his round face full of nervousness.
Snort –
Draco Malfoy, who was holding his arms on the side, couldn't help but let out a sneer when he heard their words, raised his pale golden eyebrows, shook his fingers proudly, and slowly retorted.
"How is it possible, my father was a member of the Hogwarts Board of Directors, and he told me that all I needed to do was accurately recite the list of the twenty-eight pure-blood family names to pass the exam. ”
"Haven't you ever thought about why you gave us a month to get in touch with the textbook in advance?"
Hermione Granger interrupted Malfoy's words with some irritation, tugging at her long, wavy brown hair, and said in a slightly frenzy.
"I'm sure I'm going to take an entrance exam, and oh my God, I didn't even think to get off the train with a textbook. ”
As the young wizards chattered about the sorting rituals of their siblings and even their parents, the unease quickly spread to the naked eye.
Elena summed it up in a rough way, in order to pass the exam and enter Hogwarts, she would roughly need to single-handedly knock over a troll, do a smooth tap dance, and then take a written exam with a strange question bank......
All in all, according to the descriptions of the young wizards present, Elena was very pleased to learn that the fine tradition of Hogwarts "sorting intimidation" of first-year wizards has been very successfully implemented and continued in every family.
"Okay, take it easy. As far as I know, it's just a simple personality test. ”
Seeing that the atmosphere in the waiting hall was getting more and more tense, Elena sighed helplessly and uncovered the mystery in advance.
"People with different personality traits will be assigned to different colleges. Although I think it's actually a very casual and irresponsible way of distribution......"
Halfway through speaking, Elena glanced at the little wizards who were around her, looking suspicious, rolled her eyes, and suddenly changed her words and said mysteriously.
"Speaking of which, I have a mysterious test method here that can predict in advance which academy you are about to go to, do you want to try it?"
This time it's not Elena's casual nonsense, most of her questions come from the official website of the Harry Potter series in her previous life, Pottermore, and the sorting exam questions published on it.
To be honest,This is also a thing that the fandom has always been curious about.,If the protagonists in the original book are divided according to the content of the official website,Will it still keep the original college?
Of course, in order to prove her authority, Elena's final announcement of the results will most likely not be biased. After all, as a time-traveler specializing in the HP series, if you can't even guide and predict this, it must be someone who has cast a Imperius Curse or a Forgetting Spell.
Looking at the first-graders around her with satisfaction, who nodded as quickly as chickens pecked rice, Elena smiled slightly.
"Then the first question, dusk or dawn......"
