Chapter XXIV: Tasks and Dinners

Luke smiled as he walked towards the Slytherin table.

Harry and Ron watched Luke's whereabouts, and for a moment their feelings were a little complicated. Ron couldn't help but think of how he grew up, his father, mother, and brothers all talked about the despicable and cunning Slytherin in front of him.

They always praise Gryffindor, and even think that even the naughtiest lion cub has its own merits.

Harry, on the other hand, recalled the first time he and Malfoy met at Madame Morkin's shop. Malfoy denigrated Hagrid in front of Harry, while making no secret of his recognition and yearning for Slytherin. After that, when Hagrid talked to him, it was also clear that the people at Slytherin were terrible.

This made him repulsed by Slytherin House in the first place, but now, his friend, a very good friend, had been sorted into Slytherin House, which made him feel that he might need to get to know Slytherin again.

Hermione, on the other hand, pursed her lips as she looked at Luke's back, she had read about the academy from Luke and from those books. Whether it was Luke's advice or the knowledge in those books, it told her that it was better not to choose Slytherin, it was not some discrimination, but Slytherin was indeed not suitable for a wizard like Hermione.

Luke sat down next to the girl named Taylor and smiled politely at her, but the other party still lowered his head, as if he didn't mean to pay attention to Luke.

Luke didn't care, frowning slightly, but he quickly stretched, he knew that he was not Jin Gallon, and it was impossible for everyone to like him. So he interacted with the seniors who took the initiative to greet him, and waved his hand at Hermione, who was watching him.

Hermione noticed his gesture and pursed her lips three points tighter. But he nodded anyway.

Soon Hermione was seated on the stool, and the Sorting Hat was silent for a moment before calling out "Gryffindor".

Luke gave Hermione a round of applause. He also recognized the fact that Hermione was a Gryffindor. Hermione was smart and a great reader, but her ability to act and her thirst for adventure made her a better fit for Gryffindor.

Shortly after Ron was Hermione, he was also sorted into Gryffindor, which was almost inevitable, after all, the Weasley children seemed to have their own characteristics, but in reality, they all insisted on similar things in their hearts.

Shortly afterward, Malfoy sat down on a stool, and the hat had barely touched his head before he shouted out the results of his Sorting.

"Slytherin!"

There was another round of applause at the Slytherin table, but it was clearly a notch down from Lukna's applause. This made Malfoy subconsciously purse his lips, and he looked at Luke over there with a gloomy look. Luke, on the other hand, smiled and nodded at him, looking very friendly.

Malfoy didn't say anything after all, and walked over to Crabbe and Goyle with a gloomy face and sat down. His unsightly face didn't make everyone care about him, but a few people who were originally going to come forward to talk frowned after seeing his face, and then silently took back the hand that was about to stretch out.

Luke didn't even bother Malfoy, he frowned, feeling a little strange about the Sorting Hat's previous statement that he was like Gryffindor. But I didn't think too much about it, because the sound of the system came to my ears.

【Ding Dong!】 】

[Side Quest 1: Complete 'Sorting Ceremony' and receive Enchantments: Illusion Charm]

[Start the series of side quests "Hogwarts Secrets"]

Luke took a closer look at the series of side quests. This is a set of tasks with numerous tasks, but most of them have even the name "??? ”。

There are only a few lit up. In the lighted section, Luke sees the two quests "Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets" and "Gryffindor's Relic".

He had a clue about the task of "Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets", or was he almost sure he could complete it, but what was "Gryffindor's Relic"? Could it be that the big octopus in the Black Lake really became a Gryffindor?

Luke clicked on the detailed description of this quest with a bit of a bad taste.

【Side Quest: Gryffindor's Legacy】

[Synopsis: The legendary Big Four left something of their own at Hogwarts.] You already have certain qualifications/clues, so start your quest. 】

【Reward: Unknown】

[Hint: "Godric Gryffindor!"] Converge a little! Stop making me angry! —by Salazar Slytherin]

Luke forcibly controlled his expression to keep his doubts from appearing on his face. And at the cost of his expression now looking a little stiff.

After the mood calmed down a little, he breathed a sigh of relief lightly, and smiled a little helplessly.

"Such a task is really headless and endless."

He muttered softly.

"Harry Potter!"

Harry walked over to the stool amid the gaze and buzzing whispers of the crowd. At first, he was envious of Luke's attention, but when he was actually clicked, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be more attractive than Luke.

He put on his hat in the midst of everyone's gaze and anticipation.

"It's hard, it's very hard. I can see that I have a lot of courage, and my heart is not bad. Talented, oh my goodness, not bad - you have a strong desire to prove yourself, well, interesting...... Where shall I divide you? ”

The voice of the Sorting Hat rang in Harry's ears. Harry subconsciously refused Slytherin, but he seemed to be confused.

"I sense your confusion, son, Slytherin can wish you great things and lead you to glory."

But at this moment, Malfoy's arrogant face, Hagrid's entrustment, Ron's emotion, and many, many more came to Harry's mind.

"Nope! Don't go to Slytherin! ”

He shouted in his heart.

"Not going? Well, then – Gryffindor! ”

As the last word came out, the Gryffindor table erupted in cheers and cheers. And such cheers rang out throughout the auditorium.

Even the little snakes applauded Harry. This scene made Luke feel a little reassured. As long as the Snake Courtyard was not incorrigible, he felt that he could still transform everyone.

At the same time, Luke seemed to see the relief that Dumbledore had exuded at the top of the list.

But he obviously didn't have any expression.

Last-place Breth Shabini was assigned to Slytherin, and Professor McGonagall left with a stool and hat.

Dumbledore then stood up and smiled, "Welcome! Welcome to Hogwarts to kick off the school year, and I'd like to say a few words before the banquet begins. That's it: stupid! Cry! Residue! Wring! ”

"Thank you!"
