News of the battle here spread quickly.

Not only newborns.

Even the senior wizards were talking about the freshman named Ringo Shelby.

Even when he was about to arrive, the occasional curious little wizard pretended to be casual and poked his head out when he arrived at the carriage where Ringo was......

Fortunately, Hermione had already returned.

The three Ringos also adapted quickly.

After changing clothes, we talked about the branch.

"I think Ringo could really be in Ravenclaw, or Gryffindor, and of course, Hufflepuff is good, I heard their lounge is close to the kitchen." Ron was still snaking, "It's better not to go into Slytherin anyway, the Malfoys are all Slytherins, there are always dark wizards there, and they discriminate against others." ”

Ringo had changed into a fitted black wizard's robe.

Add a touch of restrained charm.

Wen Yan casually answered: "What about you?" Where will you get in? ”

"I think it's Gryffindor, all my brothers are there, they say Gryffindor is the best house, Dumbledore is Gryffindor graduated! The last thing they like is Slytherin......"

Harry hurriedly said, "How can I get into Gryffindor?" ”

"Brave and brave, Gryffindor loves students with courage!"

"Then I probably won't be able to get in, I, I'm too cowardly......" His two new friends, Ringo and Ron, could both get into Gryffindor, but he didn't quite fit in, and Harry became lost.

But the next moment he felt a tap on the shoulder.

But it was Ringo:

"Don't underestimate yourself, Harry, you're brave enough to stand up in the face of Goyle, not to mention that you're still going to school alone...... Remember, bravery is bravery, and I think you'll definitely get into Gryffindor...... Okay, don't be discouraged, the train has arrived, get ready to get off. ”

With that, he walked forward, ready to find Hermione.

Harry stared blankly at his back, a strong expression slowly appearing on his face again.

"I'll definitely go to Gryffindor!"

He said this to Ron, and then pulled Ron after him......

……

Bang dang!

The car door was opened, and a howling cold wind came in, making all the little wizards shiver, but before they could get used to it, a little giant more than three meters tall appeared in front of them, carrying a lamp and shaking above the students' heads: "First year freshman! First-year students come here......"

It's Rubeus Hagrid!

Almost identical to Hagrid in the movie, but taller, estimated to be at least three meters a half.

But Ringo only glanced at it and stopped paying attention.

It's too cold......

What the hell is the weather in the UK......

He cursed inwardly and pulled out his wand and gave both Hermione a warm-up spell - as recorded in the Household Spells.

"This spell works." Hermione exclaimed.

But soon he stopped talking.

There were shivering freshmen everywhere, no one wanted to talk, only Hagrid was tirelessly calling the freshmen down a steep and narrow path, then pointed ahead and shouted, "Turn this corner, you're about to see Hogwarts for the first time." ”

The words fell.

Ringo had already walked over.

Enlightened.

A black lake appeared before him, the surface of the lake sparkling, and occasionally a strange black shadow passed by, and looking down the lake, on the high slope of the opposite bank stood a majestic and familiar castle, with spires and windows twinkling under the stars.

"Hogwarts!" He muttered, "I'm coming." ”

In honor of the four Pioneers' rowing trip when they first entered Hogwarts, it was customary for first-year Hogwarts students to paddle across the Black Lagoon to the castle.

Ringo took Hermione to Harry and Ron's boat.

Then I remembered the process in my head: the dock→ the cliff staircase→ the entrance hall→ auditorium→ main tower.

Crash......

Something hit the hull under the surface of the lake.

"What's that?" Ron was taken aback, "Neither Fred nor George told me. ”

Ringo came back to his senses.

He looked through the surface of the lake and saw a figure in the water, a creature with long, unkempt dark green hair, eyes glittering in the moonlight, exuding animalistic wisdom.

"Merfolk, there's a colony of merfolk in the Black Lake." He explained in a whisper, "It's been recorded in Hogwarts: A School History that Dumbledore had a pact with them to allow them to settle in the Black Lagoon, be careful, they weren't very friendly......"

That said, though.

Ringo looked at the merfolk for a moment, then slowly reached into the water.

Crash......

The merfolk also approached slowly, it was a little small, a little curious about humans, and at the same time thought that Ringo was more interesting than other humans, so it also reached out and high-fived Ringo, and then quickly dived and disappeared.

The three little ones looked at each other: is this called unfriendly?

This is just a small episode.

It didn't take long.

The freshmen went ashore and, after walking up the cliff staircase, were led by Hagrid to the entrance hall: "First-year freshman, Professor McGonagall. ”

"Thank you, Hagrid, leave it to me."

In front of the castle gates, a tall black-haired witch in emerald green robes stood with a serious expression, it was none other than McGonagall.

"Hello, Professor McGonagall." Ringo was right at the front, and after making eye contact with her, he said hello.

McGonagall remembered him very well, especially the politeness of Shelby's house, and a smile appeared on her serious face: "Hello, Mr. Shelby, it's a pleasure to meet you here." ”

Unfortunately, the smile was fleeting.

After saying hello.

McGonagall cast a loud spell on herself, "Welcome to Hogwarts, the opening party is about to begin, but before you take your seats, you need to decide which house you will be into......"

She gave a brief overview of the four faculties.

The little wizards were said to be longing, nervous and worried, and even Ringo was emotionally infected and a little nervous.

Seemingly......

Will the Sorting Hat be a deviant?

But it's also easy to do - the Deception is not reading memories at random, but reading superficial thoughts by influencing emotions.

I just don't think about it.

Well.

If you want to join the Salvation Group, you must go to Gryffindor in your heart before you go up, remember that Hermione and Harry both do this, and the Sorting Hat will fully respect the personal choice of the young wizard......

Ringo thought cranky.

Even the commotion caused by the many college ghosts that sprang out next to him did not alarm him.

It wasn't until he entered the hall of the auditorium that he came back to his senses, turned back into a child, and exclaimed again and again with the other freshmen:

"Wow! Such a long table, the color is different! ”

"That's a lot of candles!"

"Is the hall open-air? Why does it look like the weather is different from outside? ”

"The cutlery is all gold, it's too luxurious......"

"Is the guest of honor our future teacher? It looks weird, the white-bearded old man in the middle is Dumbledore? ”

"Wow ......"

After a short period of calming down, it's time for the branch session.

First the Sorting Hat sang, then bowed, then the audience applauded, and finally McGonagall stepped forward with a roll of parchment: "Whoever I call by name now, he will put on his hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the Sorting House, the first ...... Hannah Abbott! ”

Ringo is not too familiar with this scene:

Hannah Abbott went to Hufflepuff;

Terry Bout went to Ravenclaw;

Lavender Brown became Gryffindor's first freshman;

The first Slytherin was Millison Boss;

Later, Hermione went to Gryffindor, Neville went to Gryffindor, and Malfoy was assigned to Slytherin as soon as he got his hat, only Harry was the most sensational when he was sorted, Gryffindor blew up in an instant, and the Weasley twins even jumped up and shouted "We have Potter!" We've got Porter"......

Until......

When there are only a few people left.

"Ringo· Shelby," McGonagall finally called him.

Ringo stepped forward.

By this time he had calmed down.

First of all, as a Muggle-born wizard, he was completely out of touch with Slytherin;

Secondly, he has an outstanding ability to learn, which is definitely in line with Ravenclaw;

Thirdly, he loves fairy tales and small animals, and aspires to become a magical creature trainer at Hogwarts in the future, much like Newt, and Hufflepuff is also very suitable;

In the end, he felt that he was also courageous, bold and fearless, possessing most of the characteristics of a good person, and that Gryffindor would not deny himself even if he were to be reborn.

All three houses were actually okay, but Ringo still wanted to rub Harry's ship......

Of course.

To make sure nothing goes wrong.

Ringo, who was sitting on the bench, still ruled out other thoughts, but kept echoing in his head: "I'm going to Gryffindor, I'm going to Gryffindor......"

McGonagall walked up with her sorting hat.

"I'm going to Gryffindor...... Gryffindor ...... Gryffindor ...... Gryffindor ......"

And then.

Ringo saw the Sorting Hat fall on his head.

In just a moment, just like Malfoy's situation, the Sorting Hat had just touched his hair, and before he even touched his scalp, he howled in his throat:

"Slytherin!"
