At Professor McGonagall's urging, the new students moved forward one by one and were sorted into different houses.

"Mia Campbell!"

A girl with short black hair who looked very cold stepped forward.

Tom had the illusion that the girl's eyes swept over him the moment the girl's vision was obscured by the Sorting Hat.

"Gryffindor!" it wasn't long before the Sorting Hat shouted out the results.

The Gryffindor bench erupted in applause.

The girl calmly took off her sorting hat and walked towards the Gryffindor table with cat-like steps.

Before she sat down, the girl looked at the Slytherin table again, her gaze locked coldly on Tom.

This time it's not a delusion.

Tom OK.

"Humph!" Malfoy snorted coldly again.

"It's inexplicable. Harry nudged Tom, "Why is this Malfoy targeting you like this today?" ”

Tom spread his hands out, indicating that he didn't know either.

The ranks of new students are gradually shortening.

"Natalia Beauva!"

It was the red-haired girl's turn.

"It's not a Weasley, heh, and a Muggle wizard. Malfoy said.

"Did the Muggle wizard offend you, Malfoy?" Harry asked with a sneer.

"Slytherin!" the Sorting Hat quickly concluded.

"Another ...... When did Slytherin start letting Muggle wizards in at will? Malfoy was clearly dissatisfied.

Pansy Parkinson, who was beside him, squinted at Tom and pouted.

Bryce Zabini on the other side of the long table looked like he was watching a good show.

Instead of annoying Tom, Malfoy's targeting made Harry angry.

"Don't force me to point my wand at you here, Malfoy. Harry turned his head in anger, his eyes full of rage.

Tom patted Harry on the shoulder, "Don't be like him, Harry. It's not that we don't know what Malfoy's virtue is. ”

Malfoy, apparently hearing Tom's words, glared at both of them angrily, and said no more.

Natalia Beauvoir walked briskly, her briskly stride causing the Slytherin girls to snort in disgust.

The boys didn't have a good look at the Muggle wizard either, and they looked at the subsequent sorting with a cold face, not even giving Natalia Beova a look.

Natalia Beauva, perhaps optimistic by nature, ignored the indifference at the Slytherin table and sat down in the empty seat next to Tom.

"Hey, hello!" Natalia Beauva held out her hand to Tom enthusiastically, "I'm Natalia Beauva, and I'm glad to be in the same house as you. ”

"Well," Tom said with his situation in mind, not in the mood to deal with this slightly enthusiastic freshman, but nodded slightly, "Welcome." ”

"That's not your place, freshman. Malfoy pointed across the table and said, "Daphne, move this freshman in a seat." ”

Daphne, on the other side, quickly stood up and shifted to the side with a disgusted face.

Natalia Beauva winked innocently, stuck her tongue out at Tom, and sat down obediently.

"Pretend. Mafur commented contemptuously.

The sorting ceremony ended quickly, and Tom's name was not on the freshman list.

Tom didn't know if to breathe a sigh of relief or panic.

He looked over to Professor McGonagall, who was putting away her sorting hat and didn't notice Tom's gaze.

Dumbledore, on the other hand, raised his glass at Tom.

Now the situation is clear.

Tom thought that the school must have known about his situation and gave him understanding.

Although he hasn't fully figured out the situation yet, he doesn't have to worry about his unreasonable actions that will arouse the suspicion of the school - however, he should also be careful when playing the Kuro cards, he doesn't think that "he" is not hiding this little secret.

Tom was relieved.

The dinner was sumptuous, and Tom ate to his heart's content—he would have eaten more contently without Natalia Beauva watching him from time to time, and without Malfoy's yin and yang weirdness.

"Alright," Dumbledore stood up, and the Great Hall fell silent for a moment, "Now that we're full of food and drink, I remind you once again that I have a few notices to announce. ”

Outside the auditorium, there was the sound of a strong wind, and the rain was pounding on the windows.

"Mr. Filch, the Administrator, wants me to tell you that this year, several more items are banned from the castle, including screaming yoyos, wolf's fangs, and combo darts. The whole list, which numbered about four hundred and thirty-seven items, could be seen in Mr. Filch's office. ”

Tom noticed that the corners of Dumbledore's mouth twitched a few times as he said this.

"As before, students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest, and in Hogsmeade, students under the third grade are not allowed to visit. ”

"At the same time, I'm sorry to inform you that we won't be having a House Cup Quidditch this year. ”

The auditorium suddenly became noisy.

"What?" Harry opened his mouth in disbelief.

Malfoy gave Harry a triumphant look. The entire Slytherin table, except for Harry and Tom, and Natalia Beauva, who had been watching Tom with her chin propped up, everyone else seemed very calm, as if they had known the news for a long time.

But the other academies were different, they were all chattering about something, and some were dumbfounded and speechless in surprise.

At this moment, the door of the auditorium was opened with a "bang", attracting everyone's attention.

A man wrapped in a black traveling cloak and on long crutches stood at the gate.

He took off his hood, shook out his long gray hair, and walked towards the faculty desk.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but stick to him.

"Kick, kick", the man limped, and with every step, a hollow voice echoed in the silent auditorium.

Another flash of lightning flashed, and Harry hissed.

It was the first time Tom had seen such a distinctive face.

Not to mention how impressive that scarred face was, the blue eyes on this face, which were as big as coins and kept spinning, were enough to make people gasp.

"Allow me to introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor," Dumbledore's cheerful voice broke the silence in the Great Hall, "Professor Moody. ”

Tom noticed that Professor Quirrell's seat was empty, and it wasn't until Professor Moody sat up that the staff desk was full.

He turned his gaze to Professor Snape.

Snape's face was expressionless, his eyes vacant.

Dumbledore cleared his throat, "As I said earlier, in the coming months we will have the privilege of hosting a very wonderful event – one that has not been held in over a century. I'm happy to report that Triwizard Tournament will be taking place at Hogwarts this year. ”
