After the Magic Hat finished singing, the audience applauded, and the Magic Hat bowed to the four tables one by one, and then stood still.

After listening to the singing of the hat, everyone's hearts were at ease. "Look, I say there's nothing to be nervous about, we just have to put on this hat," Charon said. ”

Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, a roll of parchment in her hand.

"Whoever I call by name now puts on his hat and sits on a stool and waits for the Sorting House." She said, "Hannah Abbott!"

A ruddy-faced little girl with two blonde braids stumbled out of the queue and put on a hat that just covered her eyes. She sat down. There was a pause for a moment - "Hufflepuff!" The hat shouted.

The people at the table on the right applauded Hannah and welcomed her to their table.

"Susan Pence!"

"Hufflepuff!" The hat shouted again. Susan quickly ran over to Hannah and sat down.

"Terry Bout!"

"Ravenclaw!"

This time, the second table on the left clapped and applauded. When Terry joined them, several Ravenclaw students stood up and shook his hand.

Mandy Bloe was also assigned to Ravenclaw, and Lavender Brown became the first new Gryffindor student, and the farthest table on the left immediately erupted in cheers.

Millicent Persted then became a new Slytherin student.

"Justin Finchrie!"

"Hufflepuff!"

Finally, they were called.

"Hermione Granger!"

Hermione almost ran to the stool and hurriedly buttoned her hat to her head.

"Gryffindor!" The hat shouted.

When Malfoy's name was called, Malfoy walked over in a big way, and as he wished, his hat barely touching his head and screaming, "Slytherin!"

Malfoy went to meet up with his friends Crabbe and Goyle, looking very happy with himself.

At this time, there are not many people left.

Morn ...... Knott ...... Parkinson 's...... This was followed by a pair of Petyr twins...... And then there's Sally Ann Pocks...... Finally, it was finally the turn of "Harry Potter!"

Harry's heart tightened, Charon patted him on the shoulder, and whispered, "Come on!" ”

As Harry walked nervously forward, there was a sudden buzz in the dining room that sizzled like a small flame.

"Potter, are you calling Potter?"

"Is that Harry Potter?"

As his hat was about to be buttoned up to his head to obscure his vision, Harry saw the dining room crowded with people looking at him in the hope of seeing him. Then there is the dark world in the hat and waiting.

"Well," he heard a small voice in his ear, "it's hard. It's very hard. I can see that I am very courageous. The 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?"

Harry clung to the edge of the stool and muttered, "I'm going to Gryffindor, I'm going to Gryffindor." ”

"Going to Gryffindor, not Slytherin, right?" The small voice asked, "Have you made up your mind?" You can be great, you know, in your thoughts, Slytherin can help you to glory, there's no doubt about it—isn't it? Well, now that you've made up your mind, you'd better go to Gryffindor!"

Harry heard the hat call out the last name to the entire dining room—Gryffindor. He took off his hat and walked to the Gryffindor table with trembling legs. He was so relieved that he had succeeded, and he barely noticed that he had won the loudest cheers.

Harry sat down next to Hermione, and the two of them clashed fists, and both of them got their wish, and Ron and Charon were left next.

Now there are only three people left waiting for the assignment. Lisa Dupin became a new Ravenclaw student. Then it was Ron's turn. His face turned blue. Harry and Hermione clasped their hands under the table. In the blink of an eye, the hat shouted, "Gryffindor!"

When Ron collapsed in the seat next to Harry, Harry and Hermione applauded loudly.

Finally, Professor McGonagall's voice froze slightly, "Charon Shafiq"

Suddenly, the audience was silent and silent. The name Shafiq startled everyone, and then a small murmur began to sound, and the children who did not know that Charon Shafiq was entering school this year were startled and exchanged ears with each other.

Charon walked slowly onto the stage, gently buttoned his hat on his head, and sat there steadily.

"Slytherin!"

Almost as soon as the hat was pressed to his head, the voice rang out.

Charon was also speechless, he still wanted to go to Ravenclaw or Gryffindor! But there is no way, such a strong necromantic mana on the body is naturally a must for Slytherin. Historically, every Shafiq who entered Hogwarts went to Slytherin.

Charon took off her Sorting Hat and gently placed it on her chair.

There was silence, even on the Slytherin side. Charon strode over to Slytherin's side, and was immediately given several seats in a row.

Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment, picked up the Sorting Hat, and left.

Albus Dumbledore stood up. He looked at the students with a smile on his face and stretched out his arms to them, as if nothing made him happier than seeing the students come together.

"Welcome!" He said, "Welcome to Hogwarts to start the new school year!" Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. That's it: stupid! Cry! Residue! Wring! Thank you!" He sat back down.

Everyone applauded and cheered. Charon despised it in his heart: "A headmaster, what kind of nonsense is he talking about." ”

In fact, few people paid attention to what Dumbledore was saying, because the plate on the table was full of delicacies: roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding, pea sprouts, carrots, gravy, ketchup.

Everyone is feasting on it at full strength.

By the time everyone had their fill, the rest of the food suddenly disappeared from the plate entirely, and everything was as clean as ever.

Charon thought it was over, but all of a sudden, all sorts of desserts came up. Ice cream in all flavours, such as apple pies, syrup, chocolate muffins, jam donuts, jam pudding, strawberries, jelly, rice pudding......

When everyone couldn't eat anymore, the dessert suddenly disappeared, and Headmaster Dumbledore stood up. The restaurant is also quiet. "Oh, now that you're all fed and drunk, I'm going to say a few more words to you. At the beginning of the semester, I would like to make a few points to note with you. ”

"First-year students are aware that the woods on campus are off-limits to students. Some of our old classmates should also remember this. ”

Dumbledore's glittering gaze swept toward the Weasley twins.

"Also, Mr. Filch, the administrator, wants me to remind everyone not to do magic in the hallways between classes.

"The Quidditch player review will take place in the second week of the term. If you are interested in joining the college team, please contact Mrs. Huo Qi.

"Finally, I must tell you that anyone who does not want to suffer an accident or a painful death should not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor."

"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore exclaimed. Charon noticed that the smiles of the other teachers seemed to freeze.

Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a long ribbon of gold flew out of it, twisting like a snake over the high dining table.

"Each person chooses their favorite tune." Dumbledore said, "Ready, sing!"

So all the teachers and students sang loudly:

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts,

Teach us knowledge,

Whether we are old people

Or a child who falls on his knee,

Our minds can accept some interesting things,

Because now our minds are empty,

Filled with air, dead flies and trivialities,

Teach us something valuable,

Give us back to us what we have forgotten,

As long as you do your best,

Leave the rest to ourselves,

We will study hard,

until it turns into dung.

Everyone sang the school song seven by one. Only the Weasley twin brothers continued to sing to the slow melody of the Funeral March. Dumbledore commanded the last few bars for both of them with his wand, and when they were finished, he applauded the loudest.

"Music," he said, rubbing his eyes, "is more glamorous than anything we've done here!" It's bedtime time. Let's go back to the dormitory. ”

Charon followed Prefect Marcus Flint through the noisy crowd as the first-year students walked out of the cafeteria and up the marble staircase, all the way down. Along the way, the portraits in the hallways whispered and pointed as they passed. They followed as Marcus Flint twice passed through the door hidden behind the sliding baffles and hanging drapery, and descended many more stairs.

It wasn't until he reached a row of stone walls that Marcus Flint uttered the order, "Slytherin will always be first", and a stone door suddenly appeared on the stone wall, and he pushed the door into the Slytherin common room.

The Slytherin Lounge was a large, rough-walled stone chamber that Charon thought had been converted from a dungeon. The whole interior presents a cool color palette of aqua green. The lounge was apparently at the bottom of the lake, with a view of the lake through the narrow windows, and Charon saw a huge squid swimming around.

The lounge is beautifully furnished in a Gothic style. Strange sculptures, elaborate fireplaces, medieval tapestries depicting the famous adventures of Slytherin, and much more. There are also soft armchairs.

Marcus Flint leads the girls through one door to their dorm room and then leads the boys through another. In a descending staircase—they were apparently underground—they finally found their dorm.
