Chapter XIII: Decisions of the Branch

On the high platform, Professor McGonagall stepped forward, holding a long roll of parchment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"When I read your name, I ask you to put on this hat and sit on a stool and wait for it." She said, then pronounced the first name: "Thorin Avery!" ”

A chubby boy came out of the freshman crowd and walked up to put on the Sorting Hat, "Slytherin!" The hat shouted.

"Bang bang—" There was a round of applause at the long table belonging to Slytherin House, and the boy walked over to where they were and sat down.

"Ellis Toby!" It's the boy who is in the same boat with the dialect.

"Hufflepuff!"

Students from Hufflepuff sit on the far right of the hall. When Ellis Tobey stepped down to sit with them, they all applauded and cheered. Fang Yan also saw that the chubby monk ghost was still waving to him in high spirits, which scared the timid boy enough.

The new students were assigned one by one, and soon it was Qiu Zhang's turn.

"Autumn Zhang!" Professor McGonagall shouted.

Fang Yan patted Qiu Zhang, gave her a cheering gesture, and then watched her walk up and put on the hat that was so big that it covered her eyes, and sat down quietly. After a while, - "Ravenclaw! The hat shouted.

This time, it was the turn of the second table on the left hand side to applaud. The Ravenclaw students were overjoyed to have such a beautiful girl join their house, and they applauded vigorously. The boys at the other house tables let out a sigh of regret.

Cho Chang sat down at the Ravenclaw long table, and the seniors greeted her warmly, and Cho Chang responded shyly. Qiu Zhang looked back at the stage, hoping that Fang Yan would be in the same academy as her.

No, it's going to be in tongues right away.

"Sean Abbott!"

The dialect calmly walked towards the Sorting Hat, and his generous and steady posture was in stark contrast to the freshman just now.

Somewhere at the Hufflepuff table, a sexy and beautiful girl asked her companion with a look of surprise, "Alice, is this a member of your Abbott family?" How come such a cute little Shota has never heard of you! ”

The girl named Alice looked innocent, and she was also puzzled, "How do I know, I don't know him either, maybe it's just a coincidence with the same surname!" She didn't believe it, the wizarding world was so big, if there were other families with the surname Abbot, how would she not know, this boy named Sean Abbot must have something to do with their family.

This beautiful girl named Alice Abbott is Hannah Abbott's sister in the original book, and she is already a fourth-grader this year.

Fang Yan didn't know what was going on with him below, but he was extremely worried in his heart at this time. He didn't know if the Sorting Hat would see through his memories and know where he came from, but it was clear that he couldn't wear it at this point.

Fang Yan sat down on a stool and put the Sorting Hat on his head, the wide brim covering half of his face.

Vaguely, Fang Yan seemed to feel a wave of fluctuations rushing towards his brain, but it seemed to be blocked by the gate of time and space, and he was not allowed to enter. The feeling is faint, looming. But soon he knew it wasn't a delusion, because—

"Oh my God? Occlumency? At such a young age, he has already mastered many spells that adult wizards can't master, which is no longer something that can be summed up by a genius. Of course, you can see that you have a strong heart, a prudent mind and a sophisticated mind, and for you, both Ravenclaw and Slytherin are suitable for you. But I'm sure Slytherin can make you grow faster. Then—"

"Ravenclaw!" Fang Yan hurriedly said in a firm tone. At this point, he didn't bother to explore why the Space-Time Gate could stop the Sorting Hat's detection, and the most important thing now was not to let the Sorting Hat send him to Slytherin.

"Are you sure?" The Sorting Hat was surprised in his tone, "You know, Slytherin can help you succeed!" ”

"I'm sure!" Fang Yan insisted, "I am more interested in knowledge than I am hungry for success." ”

"Well, then, since you're insisting—" "Ravenclaw! The Sorting Hat shouted. Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, put the Sorting Hat back on the stool, and bowed politely before walking towards the long table where Ravenclaw was.

"Yay—" The Ravenclaw table was cheered and applauded, especially in the autumn. When Fang Yan walked down from the stage and sat down beside her, his face was flushed with joy. As for the other colleges, this time it was replaced by a sigh of girls.

The Sorting House was still going on, and Dumbledore was communicating with Professor Flitwick across Professor McGonagall in the professorship: "How many years have there been students who have been able to keep themselves bowing to the Sorting Hat after the Sorting House, this composure, Ravenclaw has one more outstanding student, Flitwick." ”

"Hehe, I think the Ravenclaw students are going to be very good, Headmaster." As I could tell, Professor Flitwick was a little smug.

The next two freshmen were assigned to Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, and the sorting ceremony was over.

When the sorting house was over, Albus Dumbledore stood up, looked at the students in the audience, and spread his arms, as if to say that nothing made him happier than to see all his students in the room.

"Welcome!" He said, "Welcome to Hogwarts!" Welcome to the new school year! Now you must be hungry for your little stomachs, so let's eat as much as you want! ”

"Thank you!" He sat down. Everyone applauded and cheered. The dialect was surprised that Dumbledore was not as mysterious as in the original book.

Just a moment later, the empty plate in front of Fang Yan was full of food: roast beef, roast chicken, pork, lamb, sausages, bacon and steak, as well as boiled tomatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, fries, Yorkshire dices, pears, carrots, ketchup, and mint-flavored hard candy.

When it was time to eat, Gryffindor began to feast without hesitation, Slytherin remained aristocratic as usual, and Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were unhurried and gobbled up.

Pure English dinner! The dialect thought silently. But his hands were not slow at all, for he felt hungry enough to choke on the rowing just now. Beside him, the ghosts discuss magical questions with the older students, occasionally answering questions from new students, in the traditional Ravenclaw style.

Finally, when the dessert was finished, Professor Dumbledore stood up again, and the audience fell silent.

"Aha, since we've all eaten and drunk, I'll say a few more words. I'm going to make a couple of announcements now. "New students should pay special attention to the fact that the woods behind the playground are strictly forbidden to students. This is something that older students should also keep in mind. Dumbledore's eyes glared toward the Weasley brothers. Fang Yan smirked, it seemed that the Weasley brothers, who were only in the second grade, had already revealed their restless nature.

"Our administrator, Mr. Filch, wants me to remind you that magic is not allowed in the hallways between classes." "The Quidditch Player Quiz will take place in the second week, and students who want to represent their house should register with Ms. Hooch." "Finally, before going to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore shouted. Fang Yan noticed that the smiles of the other teachers had become very dull.

Dumbledore picked up his wand and struck it lightly, as if he wanted to fly off the platform. A long golden ribbon floated out of the wand and rose high above the table, the serpentine realm winding into words.

"Everybody's in their own tune," said Dumbledore, "Ready, sing!" ”

The whole school roared:

"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, please teach us,

Whether it's old or bald, or a young man with an idiot in his legs,

Our heads can be stuffed with new and interesting things,

Because they are empty only air, dead flies and broken fluff,

Teach us useful things, let us remember the forgotten past,

Do your best, care for each other, and learn until your head rots. ”

Fang Yan was a little embarrassed to read the lyrics quickly in his mouth, but he was relieved to see that the Ravenclaws and Slytherins around him were doing the same.

The singing voice is fast and slow, and it is extremely inconsistent. In the end, only the Weasley brothers continued to sing in a very slow and heavy tone, and Dumbledore used his wand to direct the brothers through the last few lines. After singing, he applauded vigorously.

"Music," he said, rubbing his eyes, "is more glamorous than anything we've done here!" It's bedtime time. Let's go back to the dormitory. ”

There was a loud bang in the auditorium, and the students all stood up and began to return to their dorms with their respective prefects.
