Countless candles flickered on the four long, crowded tables, golden plates and shot glasses sparkling in the candlelight. Overhead, the enchanted ceiling reflected the sky outside, and stars twinkled and dotted on it.

Everything is so beautiful, it's just ......

"Yes! It's a simple thing! My badge isn't fake, you see, just like this and that, and then that, wouldn't it be good? ”

"Don't worry, wizards don't lie to wizards!"

As Ricardo walked down the hall, he heard Lockhart, a narcissist, bragging in front of the professors.

"I, Gilderoy Lockhart, 3rd Class of the Order of Merlin, Honorary Member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award - but I don't talk about that, I'm not smiling to exorcise Wanlun's female ghost!"

Then he saw Ricardo walk in.

“……”

Ricardo felt that he was really losing money by selling Wanlun's female ghost to Lockhart like that.

At this time, the professor was basically there, and even Dumbledore, who had not seen the dragon, was in the center, and when he saw him, he warmly invited him to sit next to him.

"Long time no see, Headmaster Dumbledore," Ricardo walked over, "you said you were waiting for me in France before the summer holidays and took me to visit, but you didn't come after that. ”

"Is it like this?" Dumbledore snorted, "I was in a bit of a hurry at the time, I'm sorry." But you got your wish, didn't you? I said hello to Nicol. ”

"That's right," Ricardo nodded, "I've learned a lot in July. ”

Soon, there was a commotion in the distance, and Professor McGonagall led the students into the auditorium, and the young wizards from the second to seventh years sat at their respective tables according to the house.

Professor McGonagall looked anxious, though, and she quickly approached Dumbledore and whispered something, and the Headmaster's face immediately turned serious.

Ricardo could vaguely hear that she seemed to be talking about Harry.

"Oh, our savior is going to save the world again?"

With a sudden cold snort from the professorship, Snape suddenly stood up, looked around the Slytherin table until the table was completely silent, then glanced at the Gryffindor table without a trace, and then walked out of the hall with a wave of his robe.

Professor McGonagall looked at the confused crowd, looked at Dumbledore, nodded, and walked out of the hall.

Dumbledore seemed to think of something again, and turned to look at Ricardo, "Well, something seems to be wrong here. ”

"About Mr. Potter?"

"Yes, he didn't come," Dumbledore's tone said with a hint of frustration, "probably missing time." ”

"Is there anything I can help me with?" Ricardo heard that there was something in it that asked him to do something, and took the initiative to bring it up.

"Oh, it's great that you have that idea," Dumbledore laughed, "I want you to host the opening dinner, like, to guide the new students or something." ”

"It's an honor."

Ricardo got up and walked through the hall. Dumbledore looked at his departing back and rubbed his head a little confused.

"I seem to have forgotten something?"

……

He walked through the stone walls, surrounded by blazing torches, to the castle gate.

Soon Hagrid arrived with the first-year students, and Ginny Weasley, who had been with him, was also there, standing with a little girl with platinum hair, secretly talking something, and smiling at the sight of him.

"Oh? Man, it's you! Hagrid immediately recognized Ricciardo and strode forward, tapping him on the shoulder a few times, "What's wrong with Professor McGonagall?" ”

"Professor McGonagall just got out on business." Ricardo resisted the blow and replied.

"Okay, it's first grade."

"Thank you, Hagrid. I'll pick it up here. ”

He opened the door wide open.

"Come with me."

The freshman followed him down the stone floor, down a luxurious marble staircase, leading upstairs.

He led the first-year students to a small, empty room at the other end of the hall, where they swarmed in, huddled together side by side, nervously gazing at everything around them.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Ricciardo said, clearing his throat, "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 will be into." ”

"Sorting is an important ritual because you have to attend classes with other students in the house, live in the house's dormitories, and spend your free time together in the house's common room. It's the equivalent of a class in the Muggle world. ”

"So how many academies do we have?" A girl asked.

"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 your house extra points, and any infractions will detract 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. ”

His gaze wandered to the little girl with the carrot earrings beside Ginny, only to have the little girl look at him and give him a tilted head.

"You've got a harassment in your head. No, it seems like there is more than one. ”

The little girl spoke, and her voice was so ethereal that it was almost human.

"When it's ready, I'll come and pick you up." Ricardo reluctantly withdrew his gaze, "While waiting, please be quiet. ”

"How can you assign us exactly which house we are going to?" A boy with a camera asked "bravely".

"Hmm......" Ricardo thought for a moment and decided not to spoil it, "you'll find out right away." Okay, get ready, we'll start sorting right away. ”

He walked out of the room and heard a sigh of relief coming from inside.

Is he so scary? Ricardo rolled his eyes and whispered into the air, "Mr. Peeves, be careful not to go too far when scaring newbies. ”

"Oh! You actually saw my existence! A boy's voice came from the air, "What a miracle!" ”

"I didn't see it, but your breath can't be hidden in front of me."

"Well, Uncle Peeves never listens to you professors, but for my sake, for my future sake, let me mercifully give up this great operation!"

Peeves left the place, and Ricardo sighed, and sure enough, the guy didn't give up on "wooing" him.

Is this what the hell knows about my extraordinary?

With this sigh, he went to the eighth floor of Hogwarts, in front of the Headmaster's office, and—

Stunned.

"By the way, what's the password?"
