Chapter 10: Tell Us Your Dreams!
The little wizards lined up through the foyer and entered the luxurious dining room through a double door at the back.
Students sit at four long tables, above which thousands of candles float in the air to illuminate the cafeteria. Four tables are lined with glittering gold plates and goblets. Zhang Xiao looked up and saw a little starlight twinkling on the velvety pitch-black ceiling, as if the auditorium was not roofed.
Magic is so handy, and if car manufacturers see this kind of starry sky top technology, they can't go crazy.
Professor McGonagall placed a top wizarding hat on a four-legged stool. The hat was old and patched.
Ron and Harry were both staring at the hat, this is what Zhang said about the Sorting Hat? So how should it be divided?
There was silence in the dining room, and suddenly a wide slit cracked in the brim of the hat, and began to sing:
You may think I'm not pretty, but don't judge people by their looks.
If you can find a prettier hat than mine, I can eat myself.
.................
The Sorting Hat finally finished singing the song it had made up by itself, and Zhang Xiao even wondered if the Sorting Hat had done nothing for a whole year, and was thinking about making up songs.
Harry and Ron breathe a sigh of relief, but then suffer from the loss of a gleffindor, both hoping for a Gryffindor, but listening to the Sorting Hat's song, they feel more likely to be Hufflepuff.
Who did Hufflepuff mess with?
Professor McGonagall picked up the parchment and glanced around the freshmen with a scrutinizing gaze before saying:
"Whoever I call by name now puts on his hat and sits on a stool and waits for the Sorting House."
Zhang Xiao looked at the chair with great interest, coming, coming, flowing water, iron-beaten Hannah.
"Hannah Abbott!"
Zhang Xiao let out a sigh similar to wish-fulfillment, which surprised Harry and Ron, who didn't know what kind of nerves their little friend had.
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. The Fat Friar's ghost waved happily at her.
"Susan Burns!"
"Hufflepuff!"
....
The speed of the hat branch is fast and slow, but the number of new students is really small, and it is estimated that it is only a few dozen people smaller.
When Malfoy's name was called, Malfoy walked over in a big way, and immediately got his wish, screaming "Slytherin!"
Malfoy went to meet up with his friends Crabbe and Goyle, looking very happy with himself.
It wasn't long before Professor McGonagall shouted:
"Harry Potter!"
Zhang Xiao and Ron patted him on the shoulder, and Harry stiffened over like a robot, buttoning his hat on his head.
There was a sudden buzz in the cafeteria, like the sizzling of small flames.
The restaurant was crowded with people, and everyone looked at him, hoping to see his appearance.
"Harry Potter?"
"Is that Harry Potter?"
"The newspaper says Harry Potter is enrolling this year!"
.......
It was a long time before the Sorting Hat shouted:
"Gryffindor!"
A long table suddenly erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and Zhang Xiao noticed that Dumbledore in the center of the rostrum also showed a satisfied smile, and even took a sip of his own wine glass.
Harry put down his hat, smiled happily, and trotted to the Gryffindor table to be welcomed by the crowd, giving the two friends a thumbs up and cheering them on.
After a while, Ron also entered the Iron Head Lion Academy as he wished, and thanks to the initial letter of his surname, Zhang Xiao realized that he had become the last person in the pit of his father.
Finally Professor McGonagall shouted:
"Xiao Zhang!"
Zhang Xiao noticed that a few girls on the Ravenclaw side suddenly exchanged ears, probably talking to Qiu Zhang, but they were too far away, and they didn't see what Qiu Zhang, who was known as the school flower of Hogwarts, looked like.
Taking a deep breath to relieve his nervousness, Zhang Xiao stepped forward and put on the sorting hat in the expectant eyes of his friends.
The hat was buttoned up to cover the view, and then darkness ensued
"Well," he heard a small voice in his ear, "it's hard, it's very hard." You're harder than the kid before you........ I can see that I am very courageous. Kind-hearted, Gryffindor is a great fit for you....."
But isn't it, after all, it is for the child to block the gun and hang it, if you are not reckless, who is a normal person will face the difficulty of the muzzle.
"Oh.... You're still talented, huh........ Very thoughtful, Ravenclaw is also a good choice. ”
Must, in addition to being the leader in the community primary school, after all, it is also the first prize of the provincial Olympiad, well, although it is a primary school group.
"Oh my God, why do you have an indelible desire for farming deep in your heart? I also have an amazing understanding and belief in food, which is unbelievable! You were made for Hufflepuff! ”
Nonsense! Chinese are like this, and food is the bottom line of Chinese! As far as Britain is concerned, most of China is also worthy of relief food.
The Sorting Hat was silent for a moment, then continued to ask:
"Well, is there anything you want to do? Do you have a dream? ”
What do you want to do? Dream?
Zhang Xiao's thinking immediately diverged, of course he had dreams, and even had an ambition buried in his heart, and he didn't even say it to his parents.
That is to study hard in school, seriously absorb magical knowledge, unite classmates, respect teachers, and expand contacts.
Using the power of magic, with the help of the Oblivion Charm and the Imperius Charm, and the rational use of the Traceless Stretching Charm, he will carry whatever the motherland needs!
Whether it is high-end technology, embargoed machine tools, or lithography machines, it deeply solves the problems of difficult diseases, strange diseases and people who are difficult to see a doctor and look down on, even if it is an epidemic.
And he also focused on the three rural issues, whether it is saline-alkali land or land desertification, at least to solve the problem of food and clothing, and guided them to plant high value-added magic plants.
Zhang Xiao was so immersed in her imagination that she almost missed the subtle voice in her ears:
"You can see that you have a great ideal, and you are desperate to achieve it... If that's the case, then there's no doubt that there will help you on your way to glory! ”
Then, the Sorting Hat roared and shouted:
"Slytherin!"
This time the sorting was extraordinarily long, even longer than Harry Potter, and in addition to the dinner that everyone was looking forward to after the end of the division, all eyes were focused on Zhang Xiao.
So much so that there was a little cold scene after the Sorting Hat called out Slytherin.
At the Gryffindor table, Harry and Ron looked at each other like chickens, their best friends, actually divided into Slytherin?
"No, it can't be!" Ron was more excited than anyone else, in his eyes, Zhang Xiao did not laugh at him for being poor, but praised him for having an enviable family, and gave him a precious chocolate frog card, not to mention Malfoy's righteous action when he laughed at him.
Zhang Xiao, he's a Gryffindor! How could it be Slytherin?
Harry had similar thoughts, but after all, he had just experienced the entanglement and persuasion of the Sorting Hat, and guessed:
"Ron, just now the Sorting Hat also persuaded me to go to Slytherin, I guess Zhang forgot to refute, he has been sorting for so long, it must also meet the requirements of other houses!"
"And Slytherin aren't all bad people, are they?"
Ron thought desperately, "yes! That's right, Merlin is from Slytherin, and I've heard of a distant relative, the Black family, who seems to have married a Muggle and broken with the family! Also Slytherin's. ”
The two little ones believed in their own suspicions, and they looked at their new friend with concern and sympathy, for fear that he would be ostracized and bullied by the wrong house of Slytherin.
As for Zhang Xiao, everyone is stupid, don't they ask themselves what ideals they have? Why did you end up in Slytherin? It's not that he has any prejudice against the Snake Courtyard, but the problem is that most of the Snake Courtyard are tsundere, aren't they tired of getting along, and he doesn't like green, to be honest, he likes yellow.
But the wood is already in the boat, even if you don't want to, you can only do this.
Listlessly walked to the Slytherin long table and sat down next to Malfoy, his brother's expression was like that of a dead relative, he stared at Zhang Xiao for a moment with flickering eyes, and decided to go to the common room to teach this nasty a profound lesson.
Albus Dumbledore stood up. He looked at the students with a smile on his face and stretched out his arms to them
"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! Screw!" Thank you!"
The little wizards in the huge dining room let out bursts of cheers, and the feast began!
