Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Great Hogwarts School Song

Merlin walked briskly to the long table belonging to Gryffindor, then sat down in an empty seat, and looked around, all smiling with goodwill - in every sense of the word, it would reduce tension, but Merlin was not nervous in the first place......

I have been on the bloody battlefield of the Middle Ages, I have experienced the magnificent scene of the space fleet firing at each other with its main guns in the vast space, and I have seen life and death...... It looks like he's been dead twice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

…… How can such a small scene of entrance style be tense?

So Merlin was watching Harry? Potter's nervous expression was simply cool, and a sense of pleasure ♂ rose in his heart for some reason.

Your child needs treatment.

Soon only Harry was left with three people standing alone in the middle of the field, feeling the pressure......

"Harry? Porter! ”

Professor McGonagall announced in a loud voice, and there was a burst of exclamations in the auditorium, clearly seeing the rhythm of wild grass and mud horses.

Harry walked to his chair with a shudder and put on the hat, which was silent for about fifteen seconds before finally exclaiming, "Gryffindor! ”

Suddenly Merlin felt like an explosion around him, his ears buzzing, and something everywhere said, "We've got Harry!" "Harry Potter!" "Harry! da☆ze！ Words of celebration.

But something strange seems to have been mixed in......

Merlin tried to ignore the strange words, his eyes fixed on Harry. He didn't seem to notice Merlin, but his eyes lit up, and he ended up stumbling next to Ron.

“……”

The corners of Merlin's mouth twitched, what is this? A good friend for life? What exactly is the relationship between Harry and Ron? Is this fate or the world? What exactly happened between the two? Stay tuned for tonight's episode of Closer to Science.

The last three were sorted, followed by the national flag...... Oh no, it's Dumbledore's speech.

Merlin hadn't looked much at Dumbledore's archmage level just now, he had a snow-white beard that was so long that it even reached his waist...... What do you think of the standard mage template......

[Albus? Dumbledore (6d)】

Merlin almost burst his eyes, this was the first time he had seen such a high statistic! It's brutal!

Don't just do it!

"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 down again, and everyone applauded and cheered.

Harry didn't know if to laugh it off.

"Isn't he-a little crazy?'' He hesitated to ask Percy, who was sitting next to him? Weasley.

"Crazy?" Percy whispered, "He's a genius!" The best wizard in the world! But you're right, he's a little crazy. Would you like some potatoes, Harry?"

Harry was dumbfounded. The plate in front of him was full of food: roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding, pea sprouts, carrots, gravy, ketchup, and, for some odd reason, mint hard candy.

"Harry, don't you understand what that guy said?"

Harry turned his head and saw Merlin across from him, and his face was a little strange.

"What? Do you know? ”

Merlin glanced into the air, where Ling Feng was located, and then spoke, "That's a pun, 'stupid' refers to what the famously intelligent Ravenclaw thinks of the other houses. 'Crying nose' is the emotion that the courageous Gryffindor excites when he sees the students of the other houses cowering, and thinks they are all tears. Slytherin thinks that people with impure blood are 'scum', and the last one is Hufflepuff, and the first instinct to correct others when they see them behaving is to 'twist (twist'. ”

He sighed and finally said, "If the last words are in the Tran Commonwealth...... No, if it's in Latin, it's 'May Merlin bless you'. ”

All the Gryffindors around who could hear these words stopped what they were doing and looked at the first-year freshman who had just joined Gryffindor in amazement.

"You're a Ravenclaw spy, little girl." Percy wiped her head and looked at Merlin rather indecently, and the people around her nodded in agreement. (Note 1)

"Huh."

Mai Lin lowered his head shyly, but in his heart, he was roaring at Ling Feng: "How do you know so much?!" ”

"Hehe, those are the details." Ling Feng said that he cared about the details of 9.

It's definitely not your turn to say that!!

Merlin was speechless for this kind of "detail": "If you don't say it, forget it...... Anyway, the mage named Dumbledore is definitely not a simple character, as can be seen from this sentence. ”

"Uh-huh." Ling Feng couldn't stop nodding.

Merlin then eats his first dinner at Hogwarts - the food here is nothing compared to the food in a five-star hotel, and it tastes so good, that Merlin eats himself directly.

Then, as the last food on the table disappeared, Professor Dumbledore, who had been sitting at the front of the Great Hall, finally began his first formal speech since the beginning of the school year.

"Oh, now that everyone is full and drunk, I want to say a few more words to everyone. At the beginning of the semester, I would like to make a few points to note with you. ”

"First-year students are aware that the woods on campus are off-limits to students. Some of our old classmates should also remember this. ”

Dumbledore's glittering gaze swept toward the Weasley twins.

"Also, Mr. Filch, the administrator, wants me to remind everyone not to do magic in the hallways between classes.

"The Quidditch player review will take place in the second week of the term. If you are interested in joining the college team, please contact Mrs. Huo Qi. ”

"Finally, I must tell you that anyone who does not want to suffer an accident or a painful death should not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor."

Harry laughed, but there were only a handful of people laughing.

"He's not serious, is he?" Harry asked Percy quietly.

"Impossible," Percy said, frowning at Dumbledore. "Strangely enough, wherever we were not allowed to go, he usually gave the reason, for example, that there were many dangerous beasts in the woods, and that was well known. I think he should at least make it clear to our prefects. ”

"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore exclaimed. Harry noticed that the smiles of the other teachers seemed to freeze.

Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a long ribbon of gold flew out of it, twisting like a snake over the high dining table.

"Each person chooses their favorite tune." Dumbledore said, "Ready, sing!"

So all the teachers and students sang loudly:

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, teach us that whether we are old people who have lost our heads or children who have broken our knees, our minds can accept some interesting things.

Because now our minds are empty, full of air, dead flies and trivialities, teaching us some valuable knowledge, giving back to us what we have forgotten, you just have to do your best, and leave the rest to ourselves, and we will study hard until we turn into dung.

Only the Weasley twin brothers continued to sing to the slow melody of the Funeral March. Dumbledore commanded the last few bars for both of them with his wand, and when they were finished, he applauded the loudest.

"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. ”

The first-year Gryffindor student followed Percy through the noisy crowd and out of the dining room and up the marble staircase.

After that, Peeves hits a soy sauce and startles the first-year students.

"You should be wary of Peeves." Percy said, leading the group onwards, "Barrow the Bloody is the only one who can stop him, and he can't even listen to us prefects. We're here. ”

At the end of the hallway hangs a portrait of a very wealthy woman dressed in pink.

"Password?" She said.

"Dragon scum." Percy said.

I saw the painting staggering forward, revealing a circular hole in the wall. They all crawled through holes in the wall.

After that, they found out that they had arrived in the Gryffindor common room. It is a cosy circular room filled with fluffy armchairs.

Percy leads the girls through a door to their bedroom.

During this time, Percy and Hermione make a big joke about what Merlin should be in the dormitory. Anyway, I saw that all the boys except Harry and Ron were looking at Merlin who was standing on their side with strange eyes, and Hermione was still pulling Merlin on the side, saying "Come with me" or something...... In the end, Merlin couldn't bear it anymore, so he used the toilet and shrunk into a chair in the common room with tears in his eyes.

Percy and Hermione looked dazed, but Professor McGonagall showed up within a minute...... Explain why......

The two were dumbfounded.
