005: Little Joel, who is full of nonsense
This beginner's task seems very simple, but Joel doesn't slack off.
He could figure out the crux of the mission - use the Occlumency technique he had learned to evade the Sorting Hat and complete the Sorting Chamber.
How do I feel that the system assigned me Occlumency was premeditated?
Joel watched as Hagrid raised his casserole-sized fist and knocked three times on the oak door.
The door immediately opened, revealing a tall, thin witch dressed in an emerald green robe, her long black hair neatly tied in a bun, her lips pursed with a serious expression.
It was Professor McGonagall, Head of Gryffindor, Professor of Transfiguration, and Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts, who was beloved by her students for her integrity.
"First-year ......," her eyes swept over the group of little ones, "thank you Hagrid, I'll guide them through the rest of the sorting ceremony." ”
With a slight wave of her wand in her hand, the door opened completely, "Follow me, freshmen." ”
She led the freshmen up a marble staircase to a small room upstairs, where she taught them about the four colleges.
Joel also knows a thing or two about the four houses, which can be summed up simply: Gryffindor is brave and fearless, Hufflepuff is loyal and upright, Ravenclaw is wise and erudite, and Slytherin is self-serving.
In the early and middle of the original book, Slytherin was undoubtedly hacked more badly, mainly because the early villain Malfoy was in the house, and he spent most of his time at Hogwarts on how to make Harry Potter more unlucky, and the little henchmen Goyle and Crabbe were not good people.
But in Joel's mind, there was also something about the Academy, Snape's awakening, Regulus Black's obsessive justice...... At the end of the book, these Slytherin-born men rebelled against Voldemort's cruelty and tyranny with their actions.
He heard Alan beside him with a nervous face and a whisper of the Levitation Charm, and the Iron Guy still didn't realize that he had been deceived by the Weasley brothers.
"Alan, what are you muttering?" Marietta was puzzled.
"Hmm......" Alan pondered his words, "we're going to have to fight a Welsh green dragon at the sorting ceremony in a moment, so we'll have to prepare carefully." ”
"What spells do you have? Can you teach me? ”
Marietta looked at Alan with a sincere face and was speechless.
Qiu Zhang's eyes widened in disbelief, and his face with a little baby fat looked a little cute.
"The Sorting Ceremony Is Not ......"
"Shh Joel put his index finger to his mouth, and Cho Chang guessed his intentions, and his eyebrows curled and pursed his lips and smiled.
Joel couldn't help but take a second look, the girl's smile was so gentle, and there was a feeling of spring breeze from a few steps away, and he somewhat understood why Harry was so obsessed with autumn in the early days.
After all, in the West, this kind of gentle girl is really rare.
"Are we really going to fight a Welsh green dragon?" A tall, lanky girl asked with a puzzled expression.
"Of course......" Alan blushed, obviously not comfortable talking to the girl, and then he was very eager to tell her the truth, forcibly holding back the panic in his heart and explaining to her seriously, "The Weasley brothers of Gryffindor told us that they are old students who have already participated in the sorting ceremony. ”
"Okay......" The girl also became worried after listening to Alan's explanation, "I'm Katie Bell, and it's nice to meet you." ”
Katie turned back to muttering to a few of her friends, some of whom looked serious, apparently discussing what to do about the "brutal" sorting ceremony.
"If I didn't know how to do anything, wouldn't they let me go back to my old school?" A girl with blonde hair and a ponytail was about to burst into tears, "I don't want to go back, woo woo woo ......"
In the cramped room, the atmosphere suddenly became dull.
Joel observed that several of the freshmen knew the truth about the sorting ceremony, and they looked at their panicked classmates who had been kept in the dark with disdainful expressions on their faces.
They didn't open their mouths to tell the truth, as if they were watching a farce.
"Ellen," at this time Joel quietly walked up to Allen's side, trying to keep his voice as low as possible that only the two of them could hear, "don't be afraid of any difficulties we encounter, face it with a smile, the best way to eliminate fear is to face fear, persistence is victory!" ”
"You're right," Alan was touched by Joel's words, "the best way to get rid of fear is to face it, just a Welsh green dragon, the more we fear it, the more arrogant it will be!" ”
"In this case, I'll teach you a way," Joel coughed lightly, "and if you are scared in the future, shout 'Ollie'!" ”
"Ollie? I've never heard of this term, what does it mean? ”
Joel's face was natural, "It's a magical Oriental language, and they say it when they pray for magical protection. ”
He is now lying and not typing drafts, and the passive skills of the game planning in his previous life are instantly on his body, and his duplicity is a mouthful.
"It turned out to be a magical oriental spell...... That's not surprising. Alan took it for granted, although he was well-read as a child, he didn't know much about the wizarding world in the East, only that there were magic schools there, but he didn't know anything about how they cast spells.
"Ollie!" Alan closed his eyes tightly and said with his mouth wide open.
He kept his voice as low as he could, but was heard by Cho Chang and Marietta on the sidelines.
"What is he talking about?" Qiu was very puzzled, and the two eyebrows were tightly locked together.
"Autumn, Ollie give!" Alan is serious.
“???”
Autumn is confused.
"Joel, this spell really works!" Allen looked pleasantly surprised, "I feel like the magic in my body is boiling!" ”
He pulled out his wand, the tip of which was crackling red.
Joel didn't know whether to say a dirty word in his heart.
He casually made up such a sentence, could it be really useful?
Of course, regardless of whether this 'Ollie give' is really useful or not, Joel will not be stupid enough to test it on the spot.
Joke, there are so many future classmates here, and you can't do such a thing.
"Alan, I think this spell should only be recited silently in the heart, there is no need to shout it in public, right?"
"Of course, I'm just suggesting." Joel also wanted to persuade Alan.
"I think this spell will only work if you believe it," Alan disagreed with Joel, "You have to shout it, and it has to be as loud as possible, otherwise how can you appear to be religious?" ”
Joel was dumbfounded, and tried to persuade him again, but Professor McGonagall pushed open the door and walked in.
"Line up and follow me."
Joel and Alan joined the group, and they followed Professor McGonagall out of the room and through the foyer into the Great Hall.
