The professor, named McGonagall, ushered the new students into the foyer of Hogwarts. The interior of the castle is extremely spacious, with ceilings so high that you can barely see the ceiling, enough to fit the entire villa of the Loves. It was getting late, but the flaming torches around the stone walls lit the foyer as if it were daylight.

Facing the oak door was a sumptuous marble staircase, but instead of leading them up the stairs, Professor McGonagall led them to a room at the other end of the hall. The freshmen rushed in, and the room was small, so everyone huddled together like canned sardines, and the air was filled with tension and the natural smell of the human body.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, we have a great opening party for you, but you will also need to participate in the Sorting Ceremony before you can take your seat, which is the most important ceremony in the school, as it will determine which house you will attend. Hogwarts is a boarding school, and while you're in school, the house is like your home. You will attend classes with other students in the college, live in the dormitory of the college, and spend your free time together in the common room of the college. Professor McGonagall cleared her throat and began to speak as everyone had quieted down.

The phrase "the house is like your home" immediately brought back Love's memory, because Muggle teachers often said that, but when students made mistakes, they would say: Do you make school your home? It is a paradox. Love was skeptical that Hogwarts House would truly be his home.

"Maybe some of you already know the four houses of the school, but for the sake of everyone's understanding, I'll say it again, there are four houses at Hogwarts, and their names are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own glorious history and has produced countless outstanding witches and wizards. During your time at Hogwarts, your outstanding performance will earn extra points for your house, while any misconduct will result in a loss of points for your house. At the end of the year, the college with the highest score receives the House Cup, which is a high honor. I want you to bring glory to the House no matter which house you are assigned to—" Professor McGonagall stopped as she saw a little dark-haired wizard raise her hand.

This is very rare, and few students dare to interrupt her speech during this session.

"Do you have any questions?" Professor McGonagall asked, looking at the teenager.

"Professor, will there be any reward for winning the House Cup?"

"Good question, at the end-of-year banquet, the auditorium will be decorated with the main colors of the house that won the House Cup, and as the dean of Gryffindor House, I sincerely hope that the main colors of the auditorium this year will be gold and red."

Ralph:???

What kind of reward is this? Nothing practical? There are tens of millions of euros in rewards for Premier League titles, and while you don't expect Hogwarts to offer a huge reward like the Premier League, at least something affordable! For example, the coupon for the 10 Gallons minus 5 Si Ke at the Blott bookstore, or a personal scholarship or something like that. In this situation, Love has no motivation to win the House Cup at all, and how comfortable it is to learn from Hufflepuff classmates!

Then Love's system popped up.

【Drop! Side Quest: "McGonagall's Ambition" triggers!

Mission Description: Help Professor McGonagall win the 1991-1992 Hogwarts House Cup, breaking Slytherin's six-year monopoly on the House Cup

Rewards: Free Talent Points (Transfiguration) ×1, Xueba Points×1000]

Free Talent Points? Love's eyes lit up. The free talent points sold in his system store can increase his own talent, but at some special nodes, ordinary free talent points cannot break through the talent level limit.

For example, if his Potions talent is as high as 80 and his rank is B, then from 80 to 84, he can complete it by purchasing free talent points in the mall, but to further reach 85, he needs a little free talent points (potions), because when the talent reaches 85, the rating will increase by a level to B+, which is the value of the free talent points of the specified discipline.

If you don't have a Free Talent Points, you'll need to complete a specific Breakthrough Mission. In Love's experience, the higher the rank, the more difficult it is to break through.

Looking at the mission rewards, Love is motivated to win the Academy Cup.

After answering Love's question, Professor McGonagall said a few more words and told everyone to remember to get dressed, and she left the room.

It was only after the oppressive Vice Chancellor had left that the young wizards breathed a sigh of relief, and then they realized that Professor McGonagall didn't seem to say what the sorting ceremony was about!

"Why didn't we ask Sister Faulcee what the sorting ceremony was?!" Hermione slapped her head in frustration, filled with remorse that she had spent the whole afternoon playing cards with Fawkxi, but she didn't even ask her about the sorting ceremony!

She looked around and pinned her hopes on the little wizards from wizarding families.

"Fred says it's a test that hurts us a lot." "But I'm not sure if he's serious, he's always like to play pranks," Ron said. ”

When they heard the word quiz, many freshmen thought to themselves: they didn't do anything during the summer vacation, and there are many students who can't spell a single spell until now.

If I don't pass the test, will I be expelled from school? Some people have such terrible thoughts in their heads.

"It's probably going to hurt guys like you, Weasley!" A boy with pale blonde hair gave Ron a disdainful look, "I'm definitely going to be sorted into Slytherin, no matter what the test is!" ”

"Shut up, Malfoy." Ron didn't hesitate to sneer: "If I were an examiner, I would definitely be the first to expel people like you." ”

The tests and examiners mentioned in the conversation between the two made the new students even more nervous, and no one wanted to be embarrassed on the first day of school.

"It's useless to ask Senior Sister, it seems that even a young wizard from a wizarding family doesn't know the content of the sorting ceremony." Love said to Hermione next to her, but Hermione ignored her, reciting the spell she had learned during the holidays.

Love, however, was not afraid, he thought nothing could bother him.

While everyone was discussing the contents of the sorting ceremony, a group of ghosts came through the wall and floated over the heads of the freshmen.

"Freshmen, what are you doing?" A chubby monk ghost asked them, "Waiting for the Sorting House?" ”

Love nodded at him.

"Sure enough!" The monk said, "I hope you will get a place in Hufflepuff, where I used to study, and the atmosphere in the academy is really good." ”

After the ghosts left, Professor McGonagall returned.

"Now, line up and follow me." Professor McGonagall told the first-year students, "The sorting ceremony is about to begin. ”
