Professor McGonagall's gaze wandered between Neville's cloak and the dirty stuff in Ron's nose, causing Harry to nervously try to smooth out his hair.

Liu Jiecao and the others were all clean and tidy, so that Professor McGonagall's gaze swept by, and there was no pause.

"I'll pick you up when it's ready." Professor McGonagall said, "While you wait, be quiet. ”

With that, she left the room.

It was already very close to Harry, and Liu Jiecao and the others got closer intentionally or unintentionally, and now Liu Jiecao and the others were standing closest to Harry, almost standing beside him.

Harry was heard exhaling after Professor McGonagall had left.

Then, Harry asked Ron's voice, "How can they assign us exactly which house to go to?" ”

Ron quickly replied, "I guess, always pass a test." Fred said it hurt us a lot, but I think he was joking. ”

Ron's voice was not low, so that many people around him heard it, and then spread the news everywhere, putting everyone at risk.

After that, all the children were nervous, and basically few of them had the leisure to talk anymore.

Only Hermione was muttering, reciting the incantations she had learned at a rapid pace, not sure which one to use.

Since she was almost the only one left, Liu Jiecao and the others could hear it clearly, and they couldn't help but glance at Hermione.

Except for Hermione, Liu Jiecao and the others, almost all of the students stared intently at the door, as if Professor McGonagall might come back at any moment to take them to destruction.

At this time, a strange thing happened, which frightened several people into screaming loudly. Someone is still jumping three feet high, and it must be Harry. Porter.

Twenty or so ghosts suddenly burst out of the wall behind them. These pearly white, translucent ghosts glided across the room, turning heads and ears, paying little attention to the first-year students. They seem to be arguing about something.

A chubby little friar-like ghost said, "Forgive, forget." I said, we should give him another chance......"

"My good monk, haven't we given Peeves enough chances? But he gave us all nasty nicknames. You know, he doesn't even have the slightest ghost - I say, what are you doing here? "A ghost in a wheel-shaped ruffled collared bodysuit suddenly spotted the freshman.

No one answered, because the children were too scared.

"New life!" The chubby monk smiled at them. "I guess you're going to get tested, right?"

Some students nodded silently.

"Hopefully you'll get a Hufflepuff!" The monk said, "I used to attend that college. ”

"Now move forward," said a shrill voice, "and the sorting ceremony is about to begin." ”

Professor McGonagall is back.

The ghosts fluttered across the opposite wall and disappeared.

"Now. Line up," Professor McGonagall said to the first-year students, "follow me." ”

A group of freshmen walked out of the room, through the foyer, and through a double door at the back into the luxurious dining room.

Students from the rest of the academy were already seated around four long tables, above which thousands of candles fluttered in the air lit up the cafeteria. 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.

Candlelight flickering. Hundreds of faces staring at them were like pale lanterns. The ghosts also mingled among the students, shimmering with a hazy silver light.

If you look up, you can see stars shining on the velvety black ceiling.

This place can be described as magical, wonderful and magnificent.

At this time, Hermione whispered, "Spells have been cast here." It looks like the sky outside, and I was working in Hogwarts. I read about it in a 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 four-legged stool in front of the first-year students. She placed another wizard's hat on the stool.

The hat is patched and worn out. And it's dirty.

Liu Jiecao's lips moved slightly, and a bunch of voices came into the ears of his little friends, only for these few people to hear.

"That's the Sorting Hat," he said. Ability to read memory. Don't worry, yesterday I have already done something to you, making a layer of memory disguise, to ensure that you do not show flaws. ”

Memory camouflage is constructed using the power of nightmares, and if the Sorting Hat wants to read the memory, then read the pseudo-memories of several people who were deliberately constructed by Liu Jiecao, and there are real and false pseudo-memories in this dream, and then filter out the thinking that there is no need for the Sorting Hat to know immediately, there should be no problem.

Everyone in the restaurant was staring at the hat, and the restaurant was silent.

Then, the hat twisted. The brim of the hat was torn open by a wide slit like a mouth—and the hat began to sing:

You may think I'm not pretty, but don't judge people by their looks, and 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 (even though I don't even have a hand) you're absolutely safe, because I'm a thinking magic hat!

After the Magic Hat finished singing, the audience applauded, and the Magic Hat bowed to the four tables one by one, and then stood still.

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. Aibo! ”

A ruddy-faced little girl with two blonde braids stumbled out of the queue and put on a hat that just covered her eyes. She sat down. There was a pause - "Hufflepuff!" The hat shouted.

The people at the table on the right applauded Hannah and welcomed her to their table. Harry saw the Fat Friar's ghost and waved happily at her.

"Susan. Burns! ”

"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.

Mantibu. Loch was also assigned to Ravenclaw, Lavender. Brown became Gryffindor's first freshman, and the farthest table on the left erupted in cheers, while Ron's twin brothers booed.

And then Millison. Birdside becomes a new Slytherin student.

"Justin. Fenrieri! ”

"Hufflepuff!"

Sometimes the hat immediately calls out the name of the house, but other times it takes some time to make a decision. For example, the light-haired boy Seamus next to Harry. Finigan sat on the stool for almost a full minute before the hat announced that he had been assigned to Gryffindor.

"Hermione. Granger! ”

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

"Gryffindor!" The hat shouted.

Call Neville, the boy who always loses the toad. Longbottom, he fell on the way to 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, his hat barely touching his head before he screamed, "Slytherin!" ”

Malfoy went to meet up with his friends Crabbe and Goyle, looking very happy with himself.

At this time, there are not many people left.

Morn, Knott, Parkinson, and then a pair of Patil twins, then Sally. Ambox ......

Originally, it was supposed to be Harry's turn in the end. Potter's.

However, this year's plot has already had an accident, Liu Jiecao and others are here!

Finally, it was Liu Jiecao's turn and his friends, and it was Yang Chengcheng who was called first.

As a result, the Sorting Hat said "Hufflepuff!" ", made Yang Cheng look ugly and went to Hufflepuff.

Subsequently, Jiang Qing and Qingjing were both assigned to Gryffindor!

After the Immortals came into play, the Sorting Hat happily assigned him to Ravenclaw.

Subsequently, Lihua Juan, White Crow, and Gu Yueling were also assigned to Gryffindor.

This made Yang Cheng, who was sitting at Hufflepuff, look bitter.

When Liu Jiecao came on the court, the Sorting Hat seemed to want to assign him to Ravenclaw when questioning. However, Liu Jiecao knew the trick and insisted on going to Gryffindor to the Sorting Hat, but the Sorting Hat was really respectful of the student's personal wishes, as in the original plot, and finally assigned Liu Jiecao to Gryffindor.
