Chapter 35 Branches
Harry stood behind Ron, and Lin Yiyan followed behind Harry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info They walked out of the room, through the foyer, and through a double door at the back into the luxurious dining room.
Speaking of which, it was really the first time for Lin Yiyan to see such a magical, wonderful and magnificent place. The rest of the academy was already sitting around four long tables, above which thousands of candles fluttered in the air lit up the cafeteria. Four tables are lined with glittering golden plates and goblts.
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 student body, with the teachers behind them. The candlelight flickered, and hundreds of faces staring at them looked like pale lanterns.
The ghosts also mingled among the students, flashing with a little silver light. In order to avoid their gaze, Lin Yiyan looked up and saw a little starlight twinkling on the velvety pitch-black ceiling. He vaguely heard Hermione whisper, "There are spells cast here, and they look like the sky outside, I've read about them in Hogwarts, a piece of 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 three-legged stool in front of the first-year freshman, and Lin Yiyan quickly withdrew his gaze. Professor McGonagall placed another wizard's hat on the stool. The hat was patched, worn out, and dirty.
Lin Yiyan knew that this was a sorting hat, and after singing with this sorting hat, the division began. Professor McGonagall was seen taking a few steps forward, holding 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 ruddy face and two blonde braids stumbled out of the queue and put on a hat that just covered her eyes. She sat down. A moment of pause –
"Hufflepuff!" The hat shouted. The people at the table on the right applauded Hannah and welcomed her to their table. Lin Yiyan saw the fat monk and waved to her happily.
"Susan Pence!"
"Hufflepuff!" The hat shouted again. Susan quickly ran over to Hannah and sat down.
"Terry Bout!"
"Ravenclaw!" This time, the second table on the left clapped and applauded. When Terry joined them, several Ravenclaw students stood up and shook his hand. Mandy Bloe was also assigned to Ravenclaw, and Lavender Brown became Gryffindor's first freshman, and the farthest table on the left immediately erupted in cheers, and Lin Yiyan saw Ron's twin brothers boo. Millicent Persted then became a new Slytherin student. It has to be denied that the people of Slytherin do look unlikable.
"Justin Finchrie!"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Hermione Granger!"
Hermione almost ran to the stool and hurriedly buttoned her hat to her head.
"Gryffindor!" The hat shouted.
Ron snorted. When the name of Neville Longbottom, the boy who always lost his toad, was called, he fell on the stool. It took a long time for the hat to make a decision on Neville. When the hat finally shouts "Gryffindor", Neville runs off with his hat on, and finally has to trot back to a laugh and return the hat to Professor McGonagall.
When Malfoy's name was called, Malfoy walked over in a big way, and did so instantly, screaming "Slytherin!" Malfoy went to meet up with his friends Crabbe and Goyle, looking very pleased with himself.
At this time, there were not many people left.
"Lin Yiyan!"
When the name was called, a girl at the Ravenclaw table raised her head and looked at Lin Yiyan in surprise. And a girl next to her asked curiously, "Autumn! Is he, like you, all of Chinese American? From the Eastern world? ”
"I think so!" Qiu Zhang nodded and stared at Lin Yiyan for a long time, his eyes full of curiosity.
Lin Yiyan didn't know what the reaction was, but Lin Yiyan himself stepped forward indifferently, picked up his hat and put it on.
"Well," Lin Yiyan clearly heard a small voice in his ear, "I can see your thirst for knowledge!" You can also feel that you have the heart to gain great strength, and you also have the desire to prove yourself, and you have enough courage and brains. It's hard to sort you. ”
"Then go to Gryffindor, I think it's a good place." Lin Yiyan said in a low voice.
"You've really decided? Well, Gryffindor! After Lin Yiyan heard his hat call out the name to the entire restaurant, he took off his hat and walked calmly to the Gryffindor table. The Weasley twin happily stood up to shake his hand and sat down next to them.
"Harry Potter!"
"Gryffindor!" The entire Gryffindor table cheered loudly, and the twin brothers shouted, "We've got Potter!" We've got Potter! Harry sat next to Lin Yiyan, and Lin Yiyan thought, this is the star effect!
After Lin Yiyan sat down, he looked towards the rostrum, and Albus Dumbledore sat on a large golden chair. Seeing Lin Yiyan's gaze, Dumbledore smiled and raised the goblet in his hand to Lin Yiyan! Now there are only three people left waiting for the assignment. Lisa Dupin became a new Ravenclaw student. Then it was Ron's turn. His face turned blue. In the blink of an eye, the hat shouted, "Gryffindor! ”
When Ron collapsed in the seat next to Harry, Lin Yiyan also applauded with the rest of the group.
"Good, Ron, great!" Percy Weasley said in an exaggerated tone over the heads of several people. At this time, the last remaining Brace Shabini was assigned to Slytherin. Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment, picked up the Sorting Hat, and left.
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 new school year!" Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. That's it: stupid! Cry! Residue! Wring! ”
"Thank you!" He sat back down. Everyone applauded and cheered. Lin Yiyan knew that this was a famous quote from Lao Deng.
"Do you think he's — a little crazy?" Harry asked Lin Yiyan hesitantly.
"Crazy? No! In my opinion, he is the wisest kind of person! You'll understand later, how about eating, some ham? Lin Yiyan said as he chewed on the ham.
"Looks really good." The ghost with the wheeled wrinkled collar looked at the Hariche steak and said sadly.
"Aren't you going to come a little bit?" Harry asked childishly.
"He's dead, how can he eat?" Lin Yiyan ate the mashed potatoes, looked at the ghost in front of him and said, "However, I'm still quite curious about ghosts, if only I could study them!" It seems that this learning journey will not be lonely, and there are quite a few interesting things in it! ”
Looking at the ghost in front of him, Lin Yiyan began to think about whether to discuss it with Lala, grab one and take a look, you must know that the shaking light project that Kayaba Jinghiko is responsible for is also related to the soul. Maybe, if you grab one and study it, you may have a breakthrough!
"He's right, I haven't eaten for four hundred years. I don't need to eat it, and I can't eat it, but of course I miss their deliciousness. I guess I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? Sir Nicholas of Mimse Boltington, the resident ghost of Gryffindor Tower. After speaking, he looked at Lin Yiyan and said, "Also, boy!" You look dangerous in your eyes, don't look at me like that, okay? ”
"I know who you are!" Ron said suddenly, "My two older brothers told me about you—you're the 'Nick who almost lost his head'!" ”
"I think I prefer you to call me Sir Nicholas of Mimsy." The ghost looked a little nervous, but Seamus Finigan, with pale brown hair, chimed in, "Almost headless? How could you almost lose your head? Sir Nicholas seemed angry, and it seemed that he did not want to talk about it.
"It's like this." He said abruptly. He grabbed his left ear and pulled it down, his head staggering off his neck and falling to his shoulder, as if his head was hinged. It seems that someone cut off his head, but not completely. Nick, who was almost headless, was very happy to see their stunned expressions.
He flicked his head back to his neck, cleared his throat, and said, "Alright, new Gryffindor classmates!" I hope you guys can help us win the House Cup this academic year, okay? Gryffindor has never won in such a long time. Slytherin has won six in a row, and Barrow the Bloody is unbearable - he is the ghost of Slytherin. ”
"How did he get blood all over his body?" Seamus asked with particular interest.
"I never asked." Nick, who was almost headless, said solemnly.
When everyone had opened their bellies and filled their stomachs, the rest of the food disappeared from the plates. The plates are as smooth as ever. After a while, the pudding came up. Ice cream is available in all flavours, such as apple pies, syrup pies, chocolate muffins, jam doughnuts, wine jam pudding, jellies and more.
"What a lavish banquet!" Seeing this scene, Lin Yiyan sighed, "However, are all the extra things thrown away?" Lin Yiyan thought while eating, and at the same time recorded the taste of various foods in his mind, among which a few unfamiliar tastes made Lin Yiyan also very curious, thinking about it, this is a unique ingredient in the magic world!
