Hearing Li Lin's explanation, the little wizards of Ravenclaw calmed down and were no longer overly worried. In the professorship, Headmaster Dumbledore sat in the middle, and the seat next to him was supposed to be Vice Chancellor McGonagall's, which was empty, as Professor McGonagall was now welcoming the new students.

The ceiling of the school auditorium is enchanted to reflect the weather outside. Now, for example, black and purple clouds are tumbling on the ceiling. Accompanied by the sound of thunder, the ceiling simulated lightning bolts.

Soon, the door of the auditorium opened, and all the teachers and students in the entire auditorium quickly quieted down, and turned their eyes to the door to greet the newly enrolled first-year wizard.

Professor McGonagall walked in the front row, leading a row of first-year students all the way to the top of the auditorium, where they could be seen in disarray, as if they had swam out of the water, they were now cold and nervous, and their uniforms were soaked and dripping.

Seeing this scene, Li Lin frowned, although the wizard has magical power, but the body is not much different from ordinary people, the cold is still a disease for them, although there are medicines for rapid treatment of colds, but no one wants to have a runny nose.

Li Lin looked up at Deng Liduo in the professor's chair, he was looking at the freshman with a smile through his half-moon-shaped glasses.

In the candlelight, Dumbledore's white hair and beard sparkled, and today he wore a dark green robe embroidered with many stars and moons, but in fact, looking closely at Dumbledore's eyes, it seemed as if he was wandering.

"Raven." Li Lin stood up, and he shouted in a low voice.

At the long table in Ravenclaw, thirteen wizards stood up in an instant, this is the raven formed by Li Lin, after a year of development, it has changed from three people at the beginning to thirteen people now.

"We need to welcome new first-year students, and we can't make them stupidly waiting for the Sorting Hat in their wet clothes, obviously they're a little cold right now." As Li Lin spoke, he turned sideways to see Dumbledore's reaction.

The headmaster just smiled slightly, looking at Ravenclaw's side.

The ravens sprang into action, raising their wands and pointing at the young wizards. This move frightened the new students, Professor McGonagall was a little surprised, the wizards of the other houses began to laugh at the situation, and some of the Gryffindors even stood up and stood on the long table to look this way.

Several spells were quickly unleashed, and the rain that soaked the uniforms evaporated, enveloping the freshmen with warmth and driving the cold away from their bodies.

Dumbledore stood up and applauded.

"Mr. Lovegood, you have taught us all a lesson, and I think Ravenclaw needs to add 50 points, solidarity and helping others, which is a very good quality."

At Dumbledore's words, the entire Gryffindor House stood up, and the few mischievous people standing at the long table also came down and applauded. Just like the trend, Hufflepuff and Slytherin also stood and applauded in respect, and Ravenclaw couldn't sit still in the applause, they all stood up and gave their applause to the thirteen ravens, even the new freshmen.

The ravens blushed in applause and stood together and bowed around the auditorium. Then blend in with the Ravenclaw crowd.

It wasn't until Dumbledore stopped that the long-lasting applause stopped.

"I think it's a very meaningful start to school." Dumbledore said. "It can teach us a lot of things."

While Dumbledore was talking, Professor McGonagall placed a three-legged stool on the ground in front of the freshmen and pulled out a wizard's hat that looked tattered and dirty, even patched.

The first-year students were a little dumbfounded, staring blankly at the Sorting Hat. They were all a little shocked by the appearance of the Sorting Hat.

Then, as is customary, the Sorting Hat sings the song it has been pondering for a year. When the singing was over, the auditorium once again burst into warm applause. Professor McGonagall also opened a thick roll of parchment, and the sorting ceremony began.

One by one, the first-year freshmen sit on a triangular bench according to their names, then put the sorting hat on top of their heads, waiting for the sorting hat to sort them into the appropriate house.

The students of several colleges also waited patiently, and when a new student was assigned to their house, the students of these colleges couldn't help but cheer.

It wasn't until after the sorting ceremony that everyone turned their attention back to the empty plates on the long table.

Headmaster Dumbledore didn't live up to everyone's expectations, and he stood up. Looking at all his classmates with a smile, he opened his arms and made a gesture of welcome.

"I only have two words to say to you," Dumbledore's voice echoed through the Great Hall as he cast his magic. "Let's eat!"

As soon as the words fell, the house-elves of Hogwarts magically filled empty plates with food.

Heavy rain was still pounding on the windows intensively. The thunder exploded, even crackling the glass windows, and a bolt of lightning struck the ceiling, brightening the candlelit auditorium. In such an environment, all the teachers and students of Hogwarts ate a big meal together, such as steak, pumpkin pie and so on. By the time the meal was over, the rest of the plate was gone, but in the blink of an eye, it was filled with dessert again.

Syrup pies, raisin pudding, chocolate cake, Li Lin looked at these desserts and suddenly felt a toothache. It seems that the house-elves at Hogwarts do not have a dietitian certificate.

However, the little wizard's stomach was like a black hole, even if the main meal had just been eaten. Everyone is still sweeping the desserts on the long table,

Until the dessert was also swept away. The crumbs from the plates on the table disappeared and the table was clean again.

The Headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, stood up once more. The sound of talking in the auditorium immediately stopped, leaving only the sound of the wind outside the windows and the sound of heavy rain pounding on the glass.

"Alright." Dumbledore looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Now that we've all eaten and drunk, I must ask for everyone's attention again, I have a few notices to announce." ”

Dumbledore first said with a black line on his face.

"Mr. Filch, the janitor, wants me to tell you that this year there are a few more items that are forbidden in the castle, which are screaming balls, toothed saucers, and combo darts. The whole list of about four hundred and thirty-seven items can be seen in Mr. Filch's office, and those interested can check it out. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, then he continued.

"As before, I would like to remind everyone that the Forbidden Forest on the other side of the venue is not accessible to students, and in Hogsmeade Village, no students under the age of third grade are allowed to visit."

Then Dumbledore glanced at the students in the auditorium, his voice raising a bit.

"At the same time, I'd like to regret to inform you that there will be no Quidditch House Cup this year."

There was a sudden noise in the auditorium, but Dumbledore continued.

"That's because a big event is going to start in October at Hogwarts and will continue throughout the school year, and it's going to take up a lot of time and energy from the teachers, and I'm sure you'll all have a lot of fun with it. So, I'm very pleased to announce that this year there will be a ...... at Hogwarts"

Just then, the door to the auditorium slammed open. This interrupted Dumbledore's words and made everyone look at the door.
