Wander through the Academy of Magic Chapter 10: The Sorting Ceremony
"Only the three people in the carriage began to take out the robes in their suitcases and dress neatly, according to the regulations, after entering the school, all students must wear school uniforms as much as possible, of course, daily activities outside the classroom are allowed to dress freely.
At this time, the carriage was already overturned, and when Harry and Ron finally found the robes, Mu Yuchen on the side was already fully dressed.
With a slight vibration, a deep voice sounded like a roar. The sound of voice came from the platform, and the three of them heard the voice talking. "Alright. First-year students, please come with me. Come on! First-year freshmen, don't be shy. ”
The figure of a giant man passed by the carriage, and it was the half-giant Hagrid who spoke.
The three of them pushed open the door of the carriage and approached the aisle next to the carriage. The carriages of this train have many doors for boarding and disembarking. In a completely relaxed environment, they left the train. The terrace, which was not very wide, was immediately crowded with young wizards who got out of the car.
"That's a great idea." After getting out of the car quickly and comfortably, Mu Yuchen gave a very high evaluation of the multi-door design.
"What's a good idea?" Harry asked.
"These are the doors to get off the train, and there are only two entrances and exits in one carriage on the hot yellow train." Mu Yuchen said with a sigh.
"Oh! My God! You guys on the train don't know much! Otherwise, it's really inconvenient. Ron interjected.
Mu Yuchen didn't know how to answer this question, but fortunately, Hagrid, who appeared in time, solved the problem.
"Hello, Harry!" Hagrid said, waving.
"Hello, Hagrid." Harry smiled. It was clear that he was glad to meet Hagrid.
At this time, Mu Yuchen saw a tall giant, and Lane's exclamation showed that it was the first time he had seen it. Hagrid was nearly three meters tall, and when he was standing, he was already as tall as the train next to him. The black hair and beard are unkempt, but they give a thick feeling. He was wearing a huge black trench coat and huge boots covered in mud. It seems that the rest of the road is not easy to walk.
"This is a bit rude, but very serious." Looking at Hagrid, who was leading the way for the new students with a huge miner's lamp in his hand, Mu Yuchen somewhat understood where Dumbledore's trust came from. "He might get into some trouble, but he can definitely be trusted."
"Everyone lined up and followed me. Beware, watch ye your step. Under Hagrid's command, the group crossed a narrow, steep path that was pitch black on both sides and looked like it should be a dense wood. To prevent detection by non-wizards. In addition to magic shielding. The location of the school was also chosen to be relatively private. "Turn this corner. You'll soon be able to see Hogwarts for the first time. Hagrid's voice rang out again, and the destination was not far away. The children cheered after walking for a long time, and the little wizards were tired enough from the bad condition of the road.
stone
The narrow path finally came to an end, and a black lake appeared in front of Mu Yuchen's eyes. On the high hillside across the lake stands a majestic castle. The castle is lined with spires, and windows twinkle under the stars. There are many unmanned boats docked at the lake. Hagrid's voice rang out again: "No more than four people per boat. ”
Harry and Ron chose a small boat, and Mu Yuchen followed. The last to come up was Miss Hermione Granger. Hagrid was alone in a small boat, after carefully counting the number of people. The flotilla is ready to set sail.
"So, let's go." As Hagrid's words fell, the boat set sail with the momentum of magical power. The figure of the castle gradually became clearer, and everyone looked at the school with anticipation, which was about to live for seven years.
"No one knows what kind of waves will be going around in the past seven years." Looking at the three protagonists who were in the same boat as him, Mu Yuchen thought.
After walking through a stretch of solid brick paved roads in flat town, the Great Hall of Hogwarts appeared before the eyes of the young wizards, and Hagrid's mission was complete. The next person to be able to work will be the Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts and Professor McGonagall, the first-year Transfiguration Mentor.
The black-haired Midoriya in an emerald green robe was standing in front of the freshmen, she was tall and her expression was unusually serious. Professor McGonagall lined up the freshmen. Then began to scrape. "You're going to walk through this door behind me and get together with the rest of the class. But before you take your seats in the restaurant. You must first be assigned an academy. The house has Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. During your time at school. The college is like your home. "At the end of the school year." The house with the highest number of points will win the House Championship
The system prompt sounds, "Mission activation activation, Academy Cup competition." The reward is the old house points, and the championship will be rewarded with an additional 3 source points, and the Quidditch match will be awarded an additional 4 source points. Failure Penalty: Pays 20 times the number of Academy Points earned in the Academy Cup. ”
Mu Yuchen didn't have many points left. Failure of a mission necessarily represents a negative score, that is, obliteration. However, Mu Yuchen is not worried about this, as long as he follows the storyline, this task is a good opportunity to make up for the loss.
Neville suddenly spotted his lost Toad, and interrupted Professor McGonagall with a scream. Everyone in the room was focused on the little chubby boy, who had obviously never been so noticed. "I'm sorry." After picking up Toad. Neville apologized to a cold-faced Professor McGonagall.
"The sorting ceremony is about to begin, you have to wait quietly for a while, and I will be back soon." Professor McGonagall, with a cold face, didn't bother to investigate, and she left for a moment to check on the hall. "There's really nothing wrong with the rumors on the train. Harry Potter arrives at Hogwarts. Said the boy with a pale name and combed hair. There are also two chubby boys standing beside him, looking like a rich boy traveling with bodyguards.
The white-faced boy's words caused a commotion among the freshmen. Whispers of discussion kept ringing out. All eyes were on Harry Potter and he understood how famous he was.
"This is Crabbe, this is Goyle. The little white face introduced Harry to his two henchmen. The boy said proudly, "You can call me Malfoy, Drac Malfoy." ”
Malfoy's tone was a little weird, and Drake's three words actually seemed to be the same as before, "Brother, the tone of Ron was emphasized by this strange one." A voice came out, which drew a glaring glare from him.
"You think my name is funny. Needless to say, I know who you are. Malfoy said arrogantly, deliberately pretending to be superior to Mu Yuchen to amuse Mu Yuchen.
"Hahaha!" Mu Dichen, who didn't have to worry about anything, interrupted Malfoy without hesitation, and his expression seemed to stomp that arrogant face.
Malfoy's eyes turned. Look at the source of the laughter with anger and disdain. There seemed to be some foul language brewing in his mouth, and he looked like he was about to blurt it out.
The cultivation of these two months has not restored the Ice Heart Alien Power to its old view, and even Mu Yuchen's anger has risen a lot. I saw that the originally dim eyes suddenly changed. The silver magatama with the black pupils swirled strangely. An invisible pressure shot into Malfoy's heart. In an instant, he was robbed of all his ability to feel.
Malfoy now regrets it very much, but unfortunately it is useless. Little by little, the sense of hearing and the sense of taste are being recorded, and the sense of sight and taste is slowly disappearing. The body gradually became numb, and the sense of touch did not escape the catastrophe.
At this moment, a vast magic power came from not far away, and that power instantly enveloped Mu Yuchen's mental power and Malfoy's. The other party was very experienced, and he did not recklessly directly cut off Mu Yuchen's spiritual power, but used a magical way to stagnate the energy. Hurried footsteps echoed in the cloisters, and Professor McGonagall came into view.
"Mr. Twilight Xu, you'd better explain what you're doing for here." At this time, Professor McGonagall was like a mother guarding a calf, and she was nervously pointing at Mu Yuchen with her magic skills. "I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, we will have to send you back to the East. ”
"You're too nervous, Professor McGonagall." Mu Yuchen took two steps forward without thinking, and by the way, he lifted the mental hypnosis for Malfoy. "I think you need to ask the opinions of the students around you before you make a judgment." Once again, Malfoy gave Malfoy, who was gradually recovering, a cold eye, "As an exchange student, I must be responsible for the East I represent. Not all cats and dogs are qualified to despise me. ”
Net Gang's simple glance was full of all the spiritual martial arts essence that Mu Yuchen had, as well as the collection of telekinesis guidance and ice mirror eye abilities. It can be described as a combination of martial arts, superpowers, and blood inheritance, and Mu Yuchen is very optimistic about the future of this pupil technique.
Compare. Corpse giant
From the previous Ministry of Magic official's guide, Mu Yuchen already understood that the east and west were in a relatively balanced state of peace. However, due to various differences in culture, habits, etc., friction between the two parties still exists. In order to find out Hogtide's attitude towards himself as an exchange student, or rather patience. Deliberately creating a big and small thing, the friction between children is the best choice. ,
Any problem can become extremely complex at the level of a country or region, and Professor McGonagall understands this. After careful questioning, Malfoy's cup of meeting the wrong person at the wrong time was vividly rendered.
Looking at Malfoy, whose face was getting paler and paler, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but feel a soften. "Mr. Twilight Xu, I think what happened just now was just an accident." The principle of turning big things into small things is common in China and abroad, and it is clear that Professor McGonagall is well versed in it. "Malfoy was just a little reckless, he was still a child."
Or it is ridiculous to use the word "child" in front of a child, but the freshmen present accepted the somewhat ridiculous scene with great ease.
Mu Yuchen achieved his goal, and also tested some of Hogwarts' tolerance limits for himself, an Oriental exchange student. I have the bottom in my heart, and I can let go of my hands and feet in my future plans. As an outsider, it is necessary to have the right mindset and position for safety.
"I think Mr. Malfoy will remember this teaching, that we are equal on the same planet." Mu Yuchen decided to accept it when he saw it, and by the way, he came to a standard official tone of Yan Huang. "Seeking common ground while reserving differences is our basic criterion, and harmony and development are the main body of this world. If we work together, a better world will inevitably emerge between the two sides
For the first time in Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall was interested in these foreign cultures. If it weren't for the fact that time hadn't allowed, maybe the two would have continued to discuss. But just as Malfoy was robbed of the scene by Mu Yuchen, and the pure-blood remarks were put down before they could be published.
The freshmen were led by Professor McGonagall into the auditorium, and a gorgeous and magical hall appeared in front of everyone. The rest of the academy had gathered around the four long tables, and countless candles floating in the air lit up the hall. Hundreds of cutlery were neatly arranged on the table, and they were shining.
At the top of the hall was a long table with the teachers' seats. There were several extremely familiar figures sitting on it, although their appearance had changed somewhat, but this did not prevent Mu Yuchen from recognizing them. Arbus, Dumbledore, Snape, Quirrell" and many more.
The freshmen lined up in two columns and slowly walked through the hall. Harry and Ron were in front, and Hermione and Mu Yuchen were behind them. The freshmen kept looking around, and this magical castle was so desirable.
"They cast a spell on the ceiling to make it look like the night sky." Hermione seemed to be talking to herself, turning her face sideways to the people around her.
This passage is supposed to come from a book called "A History of Hogtietz." I've read it. Mu Yuchen replied with a smile.
Hermione's eyes lit up slightly, and she wanted to say something. Suddenly, the advancing group stopped, and Professor McGonagall stood in front of an old, honest, pointed wizard's hat, and the otherwise neat line was broken up. The freshmen hugged Kanko in their hearts. At Professor McGonagall's orders, they lined up in an arc.
After the freshmen finished the queue, Dumbledore, as headmaster, told the freshmen about some of the taboos in the school, and by the way, half-admonished, half-intimidating, he recounted the consequences of breaking the taboos.
"Seven orifices bleed to death!" Mu Yuchen repeated it in his heart. Having seen Professor McGonagall's magical magic, there is no doubt about the danger of this world.
After Professor Dumbledore's speech, it was time for the sorting ceremony to begin, and McGonagall sarcastically read the name of the parchment before being read by the person who read the shark's name, and the armor leaked a "worn-out magic hat." After more or less time of waiting, at the shouts of the magic hat, the academy was assigned.
Everything went as usual, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville went to Gryffindor, and Malfoy, Goyle, and Crabbe were assigned to Slytherin. Mu Yuchen, who was bored and waiting, was very vulgar with a narration in his heart: "At this exciting moment. The gears of fate are in motion. ”
"Twilight." Professor McGonagall finally read herself, and Mu Yuchen easily walked up and sat down. The really big sorting hat covered Mu Yuchen's vision, enveloping his entire head. It feels like the hat is a little slanted. Mu Yuchen couldn't help but reach out and gently straighten it out. The moment he touched the Sorting Hat, a prompt sound appeared in Mu Yuchen's mind.
"The Magician's Hat. Gold-level Treasure. The wearer is able to use all forbidden spells if they have enough mana. The main body is not recognized, and the condition for recognizing the main body is to obtain the approval of the demon spirit. ”,
The cold sweat like a waterfall soaked his clothes, after a few deep breaths. Mu Yuchen finally calmed down the greed in his heart.
"Yes! A child who can overcome his own ** is really a good child! The old but harmonious voice sounded directly in Mu Yuchen's mind.
Silently invading, Mu Yuchen's heart instantly reached his throat. All kinds of terrible consequences walked through his mind, "If the secret of infinite space is so easy to discover, if you want to die, you will die, and you are afraid of Mao!" "When I figured out the joints, my heart slowly calmed down.
"Oh! You don't have to worry about kids, I'm just a shabby top hat that no one needs. I can only read your strong thoughts, and by the way, judge your talents. Your emotions were intense, but I didn't feel anything. It's really old! The old man's voice sounded again, accompanied by two coughs.
"Oh! So how about mine! The Sorting Hat's answer made Mu Yuchen feel a little relieved, and he didn't dare to take it lightly, his mind and mind surrounded his head, and the defense line was tentatively erected.
In fact, these efforts were all in vain, and the pure power was flowing out of the sorting hat, and was slowly injected into Mu Yuchen's body, there was no malice in the power of the force, and it felt very similar to the taste of the enhanced meditation technique.
"Let me take a good look!" The voice of the Sorting Hat rang out again. The combination of magic and ghost power attached to the pine nut was activated by that. The force of the Sorting Hat wound around it. "It's strong, it's very strong, you have unbeatable potential. But it's dangerous, unusually dangerous. You have the courage and you have faced death. It's really hard to decide! All right! I think Slytherin is the best choice for you, where you can get everything you want. "Quest 1 Branch: Help Slytherin win the House Championship Trophy with an additional Bronze Rank Card 1. The source point is doubled. Acceptable or not. ”
"Reject the mission." What are you kidding, Mu Yuchen's future can be in Harry Potter. "I can say no, right? I don't like that Slytherin pureblood, I hate snakes. ”
"Hate snakes! Kindness! Oh well! The Sorting Hat pondered for a moment, then exclaimed, "Gryffindor." ”
A cheer rang out on the long table belonging to Gryffindor. Before leaving, Mu Yuchen said to the sorting hat: "I'll come and talk to you next time." With countless friendly smiles, the quartet who had come from the same boat sat down again.
In Dumbledore's voice announcing the start of the feast, countless delicacies appeared in the otherwise empty tableware. The freshmen, who had been starving for a long time, began to bloom unceremoniously in large chunks, and even the proud Miss Hermione was not immune.
, King Xu
In the middle of the banquet, a cold and abnormal energy suddenly appeared nearby. Ice is cold and full of vitality, and there is a surprising harmony in contradictions. Then, a transparent figure emerged from the long table. Frightened, Ron who was sitting across from him and picking up food, screamed. Mu Yuchen's conditioned reflex, the mental power that had been recovered a little, reflexively turned into tentacles and wrapped up.
However, the ghost's virtual body will not be bound by the entity at all, and the ghost power will freeze in its own cold aura, but this problem will not be difficult for Mu Yuchen. The magic power was slowly injected into the tentacles, and a faint purple-black line covered the surface of the tentacles. The smug ghost was entangled, and several swords that could also be condensed and transformed were placed on the ghost's neck.
"You know the way! It is rude to disturb someone eating. Mu Yuchen continued to fork out a ball with his fork, and then stuffed it into his mouth. The hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone's attention was focused on it.
The only difference was that most of the students were staring at Mu Yuchen with a pretended face, while the leader of the teacher and a small number of students looked at the purple-black magic tentacles in mid-air.
Mu Yuchen has a deep understanding of the principle of accepting it when he sees it, it is impossible for a ghost of thousands of years to have no ability. "Sorry, just a reflex." Mu Yuchen's tone was not sincere, and he lifted the tentacles of telekinesis in his thoughts, and the ghost was free again.
"Hello! I am the ghost of Gryffindor. Sir Nicholas, welcome to Gryffindor. Nick, who was almost headless, didn't seem to care. Instead, he said with great interest: "I can see that your martial arts skills are very good!" Is it a combat skill from the East? ”
"We call this martial arts there." Nikolai's big belly made Mu Yuchen have a good impression of him, "Those sword moves are martial arts, and I still use a kind of witchcraft." The strangeness of the telekinetic tentacles was prevaricated by Mu Yuchen like this.
After a brief silence, Ron speaks, bringing the plot back on track. Nikola performs himself for the almost headless Nick, while Hermione and Ron are taken aback.
"Retribution!" Mu Yuchen snickered on the side.
The dinner ended in a friendly atmosphere, and the freshmen, led by Prefect Percy, were taken to the Gryffindor dormitory. A moving staircase. The figures in the portrait who run around and whisper to the freshmen make their tired bodies excited.
After passing through the same passage as the secret passage and walking through two doors hidden behind the sliding baffle and the hanging veil, Mu Yuchen had a basic understanding of the complex situation of the road here.
