First-year freshmen walked out of the room, through the foyer, and through a double door at the back, into the luxurious dining room.

In this palatial place, students from the other classes of the four houses were already sitting around four long tables, above which thousands of candles fluttered in the air lit up the dining room. 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.

"Lin, look at the ceiling."

Hermione whispered.

I saw a little starlight on the velvety black ceiling.

Hermione said, "Even though you told me that I had read about Hogwarts, a piece of school history, it was hard to believe that I had seen such a scene. ”

Li Lin nodded in agreement, the starry sky in front of him was really hard to believe that there was really a ceiling on it, and it was hard to believe that the roof of the restaurant was not 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.

"This is the Sorting Hat."

Li Lin leaned sideways and said to Hermione.

At this time, everyone in the restaurant was staring at the hat, and there was silence in the Hogwarts dining hall of Notda.

Then, under the watchful eye, the brim of the hat cracked a wide slit, like a mouth, and in fact, it was indeed a mouth. The hat opened his mouth and sang.

"You may think I'm not pretty, but don't judge people by their looks, if you can find a more beautiful hat than me, I can eat myself.

You can make your bowler hat jet black and shiny, and your high hat smooth and structured, I'm the Hogwarts test hat, and I'm naturally taller than yours.

None of the thoughts hidden in your mind can escape the golden eyes of the magic hat, put it on and give it a try, and I will tell you which house you should be assigned to.

You may belong to Gryffindor, where there is a deep boldness in your heart, and their courage, courage and boldness make Gryffindor outstanding;

You may belong to Hufflepuff, where the people are honest and loyal, and the students of Hufflepuff are stoic and honest, and are not afraid of hard labor;

If you are shrewd, you may enter the wise old Ravenclaw, and those who are wise and learned will always meet their fellow disciples there;

Maybe you'll go to Stetelin, maybe you'll make sincere friends here, but the cunning and sinister will stop at nothing to get there.

Come put me on! Don't be afraid! Don't panic! In my hands, you're absolutely safe, because I'm a thinking magic hat!

After the Sorting Hat finished singing, the audience applauded, and the hat bowed to each of the four tables, and then stood still.

"So, if you don't know how to take exams and cast spells, you just need to wear this hat."

Li Lin said to Hermione, who was full of surprise. In fact, he was amazed to see the Sorting Hat singing. After all, this is an antiquity that has been passed down for thousands of years.

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!"

"Hannah Abbott."

Along with Professor McGonagall's voice was Li Lin's voice, for the scene was all too familiar. Li Lin barely held back.

"What? How? Lin, how do you know? Hermione looked at Li Lin.

"Well, I don't know, it's the name that blurted out, maybe it's a prophecy."

However, looking at Hermione's disbelieving expression, Li Lin had to explain.

"Professor McGonagall has a list in alphabetical order by last name."

Hermione nodded in agreement, believing what Li Lin said.

"Hufflepuff!"

The Sorting Cap made its decision.

The people at the table on the right applauded Hannah and welcomed her to their table. The ghost of the fat monk in mid-air also waved happily to her.

Another student, Li Lin didn't hear his name clearly because he was distracted.

"Hufflepuff!" The hat shouted again.

The girl ran to Hannah and sat down.

"Terrebut!" Ravenclaw!"

This time, the second table on the left clapped and applauded. Obviously, this table belongs to Ravenclaw. When Terry joined them, several Ravenclaw students stood up and shook his hand.

Mantibro was also assigned to Ravenclaw, and Lavender Brown became the first new student of Gryffindor, and the farthest table on the left immediately erupted in cheers.

Millison Persted then became a new Slytherin student.

"Justin Finchrie!" Hufflepuff!"

Sometimes the hat immediately calls out the name of the house, but other times it takes some time to make a decision.

Calculate the order, Li Lin prompted.

"Hermione, it's your turn."

Hermione was nervous, her hands clenched tightly.

"Hermione Granger!"

Hermione almost ran to the stool and hurriedly buttoned her hat to her head.

The hat, instead of announcing its decision quickly, was silent for a while, and then its mouth could be seen moving, but no sound could be heard, apparently communicating with Hermione. After another moment.

"Ravenclaw!" The hat shouted.

Applause rang out, and Li Lin watched as Hermione sat down in the Ravenclaw seat, where Hermione greeted him.

"Sole Lovegood." Professor McGonagall exclaimed.

Very good, it's finally me, Li Lin thought so, walked to the stool, picked up the hat, put it on his head, and sat down.

"Listen, I'm going to Ravenclaw."

"Oh, are you sure?" A small voice sounded in Li Lin's ears, and he said in a seductive tone.

"I can feel that deep down you are full of ambition, you should go to Slytherin. In fact, it's also your only place to be. ”

"No, no, no, not Slytherin. Wait, can you read my inner thoughts? Well, then, I'll tell you the truth, my talent is extremely poor, it's no different from a Squib, and going to a Slytherin environment is just going to hell for me.? ”

"Oh, I can't, it's not something I'm capable of doing with this broken hat, I can only feel the direction your heart yearns for. Well, if your talent is the same as what you say. Hufflepuff is the best choice for you. ”

Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He continued.

"No, the greatest Sorting Hat, remember the students you were assigned to Ravenclaw? That student named Hermione Granger? I'm going to be separated from her. ”

Silence, Sorting Hat, silence in silence, the previous communication with the Sorting Hat was also extremely quiet, plus the Sorting Hat is now surprisingly silent. It looked like Li Lin had put on the Sorting Hat, and the Sorting Hat had stopped moving, and it had been five minutes since then.

The students whispered, whether they were first-year freshmen or seventh-year seniors, they were all curious and puzzled.

Even the professor has a handful of fidgeting. Cast a concerned look.

Li Lin was suddenly a little worried, he thought about it a lot, but he forgot the attributes of the Sorting Hat, could it be because the Sorting Hat was a thousand-year-old single dog, so he was jealous of him, like this. There will be twists and turns.

He thinks he fits the criteria for the Sorting Hat, and he thinks he's smart enough. It was enough to get into LaVine, but he didn't expect the Sorting Hat to think that with his ambition he would be a good fit for Slytherin and his talent for Hufflepuff. He was now thinking about whether he would have met the criteria for entering Gryffindor because of his courage if he had just seen the Sorting Hat fluttering and slapped it twice.

In this way, the admission conditions of the four colleges are met, and I don't know if it will have the effect of collecting all the dragon balls to summon the dragon.

After Li Lin was a little apprehensive, he entered the stage of habitual distraction, and at this time, the Sorting Hat finally made a decision.

After a long silence, the Sorting Hat shouted.

"Ravenclaw."

"Boy, you remind me of the past."

Li Lin took off his sorting hat and only heard this sentence. He smiled and turned to walk towards the Ravenclaw table.

There, Hermione was clapping her hands excitedly as she welcomed him.

"Neville Longbottom"

Finally the next person arrived, but the students in the entire cafeteria were paying attention to Li Lin, or rather what they were paying attention to.

Li Lin did it to Hermione's side.

He held out his hand.

"Great, you're my first friend."

Hermione raised her head slightly, and reached out to hold it with him.

"You're my friend too."

In this case, there is a legitimate reason to go to class and write homework together.

"Gryffindor"

The Sorting House continues, and the next Malfoy,

A few girls etc.

By Harry Potter, the Sorting Hat fell silent again, but this time, it didn't last long, and the Sorting Hat quickly made a decision.

"Gryffindor.".

Hagrid sat in the corner and gave Harry a thumbs up. He may think he is doing something very secretive, but in fact, he is so big that he can stand taller than others even when he sits.

Li Lin looked at Professor Quirrell in the professorship, who looked strange with a large purple scarf wrapped around his head at this time.

But Li Lin knew that the scarf was wrapped in the terrifying Dark Lord. It's the one who can't even be named, the mysterious man.

Li Lin quietly observed for a while, and waited for the last remaining freshman to be assigned to Slytherin. Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment, picked up the Sorting Hat, and left.

Then, Albus Dumbledore stood up. He looked at the students with a smile on his face and stretched out his arms to them, as if nothing made him happier than seeing the students come together.

"Welcome!" He said.

"Welcome to Hogwarts to start the school year! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a word. That's it: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Thank you!"

"Uh, what did he just say?"

Li Lin looked blank and looked sideways at Hermione.

Hermione shook her head, "Seems to be a fool!" Cry! Residue! Wring! But this sentence makes no sense. Do you want to read it backwards? ”

Li Lin shrugged helplessly.

"Forget it, let's eat."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the table.
