0007. Opening Banquet and Branch

readx;

Field began to tell Harry some common knowledge about the wizarding world, and Ron interjected from time to time, adding that Harry quickly had a preliminary understanding of the wizarding world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Before lunch, Field repaired Harry's broken glasses with a repair charm, and went to the opposite compartment to take out his magic suitcase, filling the table with the food he had brought back from France. He invited, Harry and Ron to eat together, and the French meal quickly conquered Harry and Ron, and the three of them had a great time.

When the middle food truck arrives in the car, Harry buys some chocolate frogs and Bibi beans to share with Field and Ron. Dumbledore's cards and the jumping chocolate frog were magical for Harry as stepping into a fairy tale.

Shortly after the meal, Neville, a reckless boy with a round face, came to their workshop, and he lost his toad. Field was intrigued by Neville's toad that vanished at every turn, and that it should have some special bloodline or be invisible. Field volunteered to help Neville find his toad.

On the way to find it, Field ran into Hermione, "Miss Jack-of-all-trades". Granger, with her messy brown hair and front teeth, is still an ugly duckling in Hermione. Hermione looked a little haughty, but Field could see that she was just afraid that her Muggle background made her a little apprehensive, and that pride was just her own protective color. Hermione seemed so enthusiastic that he agreed to help Neville find the toad. Field told them that he would look for it in the carriage of the seniors in front of them. However, Neville's toad seems to have a hidden talent, and he has not been able to find Cedric's prefect workshop.

"Hi Field, how did you get here, what are you looking for. Cedric was chatting with a pretty brown-haired girl in the carriage and introduced them to the two when he saw Field. "Penelope, this is my brother Field, the freshman of the year. Field, this Penelope. Crivat, prefect of Ravenclaw. ”

"Hello, Miss Crivat, have you seen a toad? "Field greets this pretty Ravenclaw.

"Hello Field, you're so enthusiastic, we didn't see the toad, but don't worry, when the students get off the bus, the house-elf who is in charge of the luggage of the key keeper will check all the carriages, they will find the toad, you can find it in Hagna, the key keeper. "Penelope's smile was charming.

"Thank you, Miss Crivat"

"You're welcome, you can call me Penelope. ”

"Well, Penelope, it's time for me to go back to my car, as if the train was about to arrive. Field felt the train slow down.

"Goodbye then, Field, I hope you get into Ravenclaw, and hear Cedric say that his brother is a freak who is good at learning. Penelope, snickering with her mouth covered.

"Goodbye, Penelope, goodbye Cedric. Field looked at Cedric, who was also embarrassed, and said goodbye to the two.

"I'll see you later, Field, and remember to change into your robes. Cedric reminded Field that he knew his brother was sometimes forgetful in life.

Field quickly found Neville and Hermione, who also found nothing, and told Penelope's words to the two, Neville's expression relaxed a little, and hurriedly changed into robes.

Field said goodbye to Hermione and returned to his carriage, while Harry and Ron had changed into their robes and were waiting for the train to arrive. Field quickly changed his robes.

The carriage slowly approached the station, and in the midst of the commotion Field and they got off the train, and the tall Hagrid stood happily beside him with his lantern in his hand.

All he heard Hagrid shouting in his direction, "First-year freshmen, first-year students come over here, Harry, come this way, how are you?"

The three Harry followed the crowd to Hagrid, who smiled on his bearded face. "Come on, come with me, are there any first-year freshmen? Watch out for the soles of your feet, all right! First-year freshmen come with me!"

They followed Hagrid, stumbling and stumbling, and seemed to be walking downhill along a steep, narrow path

At the end of the narrow path, a black lake suddenly unfolded. On the high hillside on the other side of the lake rises a majestic castle with spires and windows twinkling under the stars.

Field, in a small boat of four, made their way through the cliffs and the ivy veil that covered the cliff faΓ§ade to the secluded open entrance. They followed a pitch-black tunnel that seemed to lead to the castle underneath, and finally reached a place that resembled an underground pier, and then climbed up to the ground of gravel and small pebbles.

Illuminated by Hagrid's lantern, they climbed a tunnel in the rocks and finally reached a flat, damp meadow in the shadow of the castle. Everyone climbed a stone staircase and gathered in front of a large oak door.

Field whispered to a panting Harry, "This is the path taken by the Hogwarts Big Four when they first came to the castle, and every new student needs to walk once, which means that every Hogwarts student will inherit the will of the Big Four." It's written in Hogwarts – A History of the School, and we won't have to go this way next year."

The door opened, and Professor McGonagall, with a stern expression, took Hagrid's place, leading the freshmen through the foyer to a small empty room at the end of the hall.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said, "the opening party is about to begin, but before you get to the dining hall and take your seats, you should first determine which house you are going to. Sorting is an important ritual because during your time at school the house is like your home at Hogwarts. You will attend classes with other students in the college, live in the dormitory of the college, and spend your free time together in the common room of the college.

"The names of the four houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own glorious history and has produced outstanding witches and wizards. During your time at Hogwarts, your outstanding performance will earn extra points for your house, while any misconduct will result in a loss of points for your house. At the end of the year, the college with the highest score receives the House Cup, which is a high honor. I hope that no matter which house you are assigned to, you will be able to bring glory to the college.

"In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of all the teachers and students of the school. I suggest that you get in order and be refreshed while you wait. ”

Her gaze wandered over Neville's cloak and the dirty thing in Ron's nose. Harry nervously struggled to smooth out his hair. And when he saw Field wearing a French haute couture robe like a stall, his expression became even more serious.

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

After Professor McGonagall leaves, tension in the cabin begins, culminating in the presence of ghosts. Field saw Hermione muttering words not far away, reciting the spell she had learned.

A chubby monk ghost smiled at them and said, "I hope you'll get a Hufflepuff!, I used to attend that house." 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, in a row," Professor McGonagall said to the first-year students, "follow me." ”

Harry's whole body was trembling with nervousness, and Field could only comfort him, "Don't be nervous, Harry, the sorting ceremony is simple, just bring a hat." ”

Harry relaxed when he heard Field's words, while Ron, who was next to him, couldn't believe it: "Field, is this true? Did your brother tell you? Damn Fred, he told me to fight the giant, I'm going to kill him." ”

Following Professor McGonagall through a double door into the lavish cafeteria, where the rest of the class was already seated around four long tables, above which thousands of candles fluttered in the air lit 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. The candlelight flickered, and hundreds of faces staring at them were like pale lanterns. The ghosts also mingled among the students, shimmering with a hazy silver light. Harry looked up to avoid their gaze and saw stars twinkling on the velvety black ceiling. He heard Hermione whisper, "There was a spell here, and it looked like the sky outside, I read about it in Hogwarts, a school history." ”

Professor McGonagall gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first-year students, and Harry quickly withdrew his gaze. Professor McGonagall placed another wizard's hat on the stool. The hat was patched, worn out, and dirty. Field didn't have any cleanliness habits, but he felt it was time to wash. The Sorting Hat, if given the chance, Field would have studied it well, it was a terrific alchemical product, he had a mind of his own, and in a sense he was already a life.

The Sorting Hat, the brim of which was torn open by a wide slit, like a mouthβ€”began to sing:

You may think I'm not pretty,

But don't judge people by their appearance.

If you can find a more beautiful hat than mine,

I can eat myself.

You can make your bowler hat jet black and shiny,

Keep your high-capped caps smooth and structured.

I'm a Hogwarts test hat,

Naturally, they are taller than your hats.

Any thought hidden in your mind,

can't escape the golden eyes of the magic hat.

Put it on and try it,

I'll tell you which house you should be assigned to.

You may belong to Gryffindor, where there is bravery buried in the bottom of your heart,

Their courage, courage and boldness make Gryffindor stand out;

You may belong to Hufflepuff, where the people are honest and loyal,

Hufflepuff students are stoic and honest, unafraid of hard labor;

If you are shrewd, you may get into the wisdom of old Ravenclaw,

Those who are wise and learned will always meet their fellow believers there;

Maybe you'll go to Stetelin, maybe you'll make sincere friends here,

But those who are cunning and insidious will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Put me on! Don't be afraid!

In my hands (even though I don't even have one) you are absolutely safe

Because I'm a thinking hat!

After singing, the audience applauded, and the magic hat bowed to the four tables one by one, and then stood still.

Seeing that it was indeed a hat, Harry and Ron both gasped heavily.

Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, a roll of parchment in her hand.

"Whoever I call by name will put on his hat and sit on a stool and wait for the Sorting House. She said, "Hannah, Abbott!"

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. The Fat Friar's ghost waved happily at her.

"Susan, Bones!" The girl had a ruddy face and combed her long blonde braids, which dragged all the way to her back.

"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 Blohor was also assigned to Ravenclaw, and Lavender Brown was the first new Gryffindor student, and the farthest table on the left erupted in cheers, and Harry saw Ron's twin brothers booing.

Then Millicent Persted became a new Slytherin student.

"Justin?Fenriri!" It was a boy with curly hair.

"Hufflepuff!"

"Hermione, Granger!"

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

Then there was Neville Longbottom, who 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.

"Gryffindor!" The hat shouted. Ron snorted, visibly unhappy.

Two tall boys, Goyle and Crabbe, enter Slytherin.

"Draco. Malfoy's "platinum-blond haired boy, the hat barely touched his head and screamed, "Slytherin!"

Morn ...... Knott ...... Parkinson 's...... This was followed by a pair of Petyr twins...... And then there's Sally Ann Pocks...... Finally, it was finally the turn of "Harry Potter!"

There was a commotion in the hall, and it was a long time before the Sorting Hat was placed on Harry's head before he shouted "Gryffindor"

Harry took off his hat and walked to the Gryffindor table with trembling legs, and Gryffindor let out the loudest cheers. Prefect Percy stood up and shook his hand tightly. The Weasley twin shouted loudly, "We've got Potter!

Lisa Du was then split to Ravenclaw, Ron to Gryffindor, and Blaise Sabini to Slytherin.

"Field. Diggory Field was the last, and he saw Cedric smiling at the Hufflepuff table. On Gryffindor's side, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville were all looking at him expectantly.

"You are doomed to disappointment. Field thought to himself, putting on his Sorting Hat. "I'm going to Hufflepuff. ”

"Oh, did you decide so quickly?, you have the courage, the intelligence, and the ambition, going to the other three houses will have a better future than Hufflepuff. ”

"Hufflepuff, I'm going to Hufflepuff"

"Well, I'm sure you don't lack the quality of tenacity either, then. ”

"Hufflepuff," the Sorting Hat shouted the name of the house.

Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment, picked up the Sorting Hat, and left. As Field walked over to the Hufflepuff table, the friendly badgers greeted Field loudly. Just as passionate about Harry Potter. Cedric stepped forward and hugged him heavily.

Then Headmaster 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!" I would like to say a few words before the banquet begins. That's it: stupid, crying nose, screwing, screwing, thank you!" He sat back down. Everyone applauded and cheered.

Field had a pleasant conversation with every Hufflepuff around him, the badgers were friendly, and he was recognized by Justin Finch, a Muggle-born child, as the author of The Seven Sea Thieves, who had appeared on television this summer.

Field and his new friends enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, and the house-elves at Hogwarts were good cooks, and Field was not too worried about his picky appetite.
