Chapter 18: The Sound of Heaven

The entire auditorium was silent.

The rest of the year waited to see the play, and the freshmen stared nervously at the dirty, torn hat, as if a troll would jump out of it in the next second.

Then, suddenly, the hat began to writhe, the tip of the hat swaying from side to side, and the brim on both sides rose and fell as if dancing.

But the more Kyle looked, the more he felt that something was wrong.

How to say it, I don't know who designed this set of movements, it's like some kind of flat slice fish that likes to eat colleagues, but the movements are stiffer, and no one is so silky.

In addition, the long ones are a little uglier.

The Sorting Hat probably knew that dancing wasn't its forte, and soon cracked open a mouth like a mouth, and began to hum.

"I'm a hat.

But don't underestimate me.

I was born thousands of years ago.

I've seen the world change.

I stepped over the quagmire of the wilderness.

Also walked through the forest riverside.

Come on, put me on.

Find the most suitable college.

If you're hungry for power, head to Gryffindor, they're brave, righteous and resolute, and can unearth the courage you have buried in your heart.

Maybe you'll go into Slytherin, they're strong, calm, elegant, and self-contained, and there's no need to hide your ambition and lust for power, because everyone here is just like you.

Hufflepuff is honest, loyal, tenacious and honest, come and find the most trustworthy companion here.

And Ravenclaw, if you have extraordinary intelligence and a shrewd mind, then don't hesitate to have fellow travelers like you.

Come on, put me on.

Don't worry and be afraid.

I will tell you the heart's desire. ”

At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause around them, and it could be seen that the little wizards in the wizarding world were very polite.

The Sorting Hat bowed to each of the four tables, then stood still.

……

Although the singing of the sorting hat is really a bit difficult to describe, the freshmen basically heard it, and the so-called sorting house should be just wearing this hat.

This made many people secretly relieved.

Compared to the gossip I've heard before, it's not too easy to put on a hat.

Isn't it just that the hat is dirty, old, or ugly, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's just for a while, and you don't have to wear it all the time.

Professor McGonagall stepped forward quickly, a piece 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."

Professor McGonagall glanced at the parchment.

"Thomas Albright."

A blonde boy with his head held high, walked briskly over and put on his hat, and after a moment ......

"Ravenclaw!" The Sorting Hat shouted.

The boy looked satisfied, and took off his sorting hat and walked eagerly to the Ravenclaw table, where the applause was most enthusiastic in the auditorium.

"Marietta Ekmo!"

A little girl ran up happily and picked up the Sorting Hat and put it on.

"Ravenclaw!"

"Oh...... That's great! ”

The first two freshmen were both Ravenclaw, which made the eaglets so excited that they cheered as if they were going to lift the ceiling.

"Katie Bell!"

This time, too, a little girl, ran up in a panic and snapped the Sorting Hat on her head.

Maybe it was because she was too nervous, and she used a little too much force when she put on the hat, causing her whole head to poke into the hat, leaving only one neck outside.

"Hahahaha!"

There was a burst of laughter in the auditorium.

Professor McGonagall sighed and stepped forward to help sort it out.

"Thanks, McGrid, I almost thought I was going to crack."

The Sorting Hat nodded to Professor McGonagall, "Gryffindor, no doubt!" ”

On the far left of the auditorium, the Gryffindor table erupted in a burst of cheers!

Fred and George stood on the stool, whistling excitedly, and it was clear that they really liked the little girl.

Katie Bell ran down with a red face.

The Sorting continued, but in order to prevent a repeat of what had just happened, Professor McGonagall felt that it would be better to preside over it herself, so instead of stepping aside as before, she stood behind the quadrangular stool, with the Sorting Hat in one hand and the parchment in the other.

"Autumn Zhang!" (Cho.Chang)

An Asian girl slowly walks over to a quadrangular stool and sits down. Professor McGonagall stood behind her, gently placing the Sorting Hat on top of her head.

"Ravenclaw!"

"Oh!!"

As the Sorting Hat called out the name of the same house for the third time, the eaglets went completely crazy, and some people stood on stools and danced in front of the whole school. Someone picked up the decorative flowers on the dining table and threw them on the ceiling with excitement.

They put aside their usual proud calmness and cheered wantonly.

"Three, the branch has just begun, and we already have three new students!"

"Ravenclaw, this year will rise!"

……

The professors on the stage didn't stop them, just laughing and watching, until they started throwing the plates, and Professor McGonagall stood up with a straight face.

The results are outstanding.

After seeing Professor McGonagall, the eaglets seemed to have been splashed with a basin of cold water on their heads, and they calmed down a lot, turned from eagles to quails, and sat back at the table in a proper manner.

Professor McGonagall's face improved and she looked back at the parchment.

"Omid Froll!"

……

"Slytherin!"

……

There are fewer and fewer new students.

Kyle stood in the crowd, patiently waiting for his name, but somehow, he felt a little scratchy in his back, as if someone was poking him with a needle.

Kyle subconsciously turned his head, only to see Connor with a flushed face and staring at him viciously.

But unlike before, this time I was.

The little girl, who was originally shy and shy, seemed to be a different person at this time, and a small white tooth crunched, as if she would pounce on him and bite him at any time.

"Ahem...... Oops, the weather is so nice. ”

Kyle laughed twice, as if he hadn't seen anything, and turned his head back in pretended to be calm.

After that, he moved even more lightly, and quietly squeezed forward, trying to get as far away as possible from Connor.

Unfortunately, it backfired, there was only such a big place in total, and there were not many people, so there was no place to hide, and no matter where he ran, Connor could always see him.

The feeling of being on your back has never gone away.

Fortunately, at this time, a voice suddenly came.

"Kyle Chopper!"

For the first time, Kyle felt that Professor McGonagall's voice was so beautiful, like a heavenly sound, like an angel of salvation.

Seriously, if he could re-elect the principal, he would have to choose Professor McGonagall.
