Chapter 30: The Sorting Ceremony

When the other students heard this, they immediately expressed their thoughts.

Some people say that there are water monsters in the lake, others say that there are unjust ghosts in the black lake, and others say that Malfoy just can't swim and make up monster lies to hide their embarrassment.

Professor McGonagall was displeased with this phenomenon, and immediately exclaimed, "Quiet! ”

Once the unsmiling Professor McGonagall was angry, the deterrent effect was quite great, and all the freshmen kept their mouths shut almost at the same time.

Professor McGonagall coughed lightly and asked, "Where's Hagrid?" ”

Harry in the crowd replied loudly, "Send that boy to the infirmary!" ”

"Infirmary......" Professor McGonagall muttered as she muttered a deep furrow on her forehead, "I must go over and see how the student is doing, and you are here waiting for me to come back." ”

By the time Professor McGonagall left, the group of freshmen became noisy again, and everyone began to share their gossip about the sorting ceremony.

First up was Ron, who swore that "I have five older brothers studying at Hogwarts, and they told me that the sorting ceremony is very strict, and if you don't meet the standards, you will even be kicked out of the school tonight!" ”

Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, "Aren't we already enrolled in school?" How can you still be expelled? Didn't those things on the list buy for nothing? That's a lot of money. ”

Ron, who was blowing his head over the cowhide, touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "I heard it from Fred and George, they always like to play tricks on me, and maybe they are lying to me. ”

At this point, another student said, "I don't think they lied to you, I heard that the sorting ceremony is to fight against a troll, and according to the results of the battle, many freshmen have died because of this!" ”

There was another exclamation from the crowd, "No wonder there are always people who say that Hogwarts has a certain number of death places, and students die every year!" ”

And some of the already timid girls heard their discussion and began to hide in the corner and shiver.

Hermione impatiently interrupted the boys' speculations and said reasonably, "How can a wizard's sorting ceremony be so barbaric? We are wizards, not warriors! How could you be allowed to deal with a creature like a troll as soon as school started? ”

"A true wizard is by mind and knowledge! So, I guess the sorting ceremony is actually an exam, and the houses are assigned according to the scores of the exams! ”

"Otherwise, why would the school remind us to buy textbooks a month in advance? Isn't it just to prepare for the exam earlier? ”

Many of the freshmen nodded in agreement when they heard Hermione's explanation, which was much more reliable than fighting trolls.

But there are many people who have sad faces and sighs, they have never read any textbooks, and some people don't even know what the books they bought are.

"It's over, it's over! I'm definitely going to get a zero on the test! ”

"My book is still on the train, can I go back and get it?"

"It's late, and now the luggage has been sent to the dormitory!"

Listening to the moans coming from all directions, Chu Yang shook his head helplessly, thinking that this group of little children was quite good at scaring themselves, and they couldn't think of killing them, but they just needed to buckle the sorting hat on their heads to complete the sorting ceremony.

Ron shuddered and tugged at Harry's sleeve and asked, "Have you read those textbooks?" ”

Harry shook his head and said, "My aunt and uncle didn't want me to come to Hogwarts, they did everything they could to prevent me from getting that letter of acceptance, and it wasn't until a few days ago that I got the opportunity to go to school with Hagrid's help, do you think I've seen it?" ”

"Then it'll be fine, so it looks like we'll definitely be able to get into one house." Ron was relieved, and was even in the mood to wink at Harry.

"You're in a good state of mind." Harry was amused by Ron, then turned his head to look at Chu Yang, and said enviously, "Chu Yang will definitely get the highest score." ”

"That's right, Chu Yang's brain is not comparable to ordinary people, and I think only that girl can catch up with him." Ron smacked his lips, agreeing with Harry's idea.

There was also Hermione, who looked at Chu Yang seriously, and said with some resignation: "You will probably take the first place in this exam, but only this time, I guarantee that in the next exam, my score will be higher than yours!" ”

Although he knew that Hermione had guessed the sorting ceremony wrong, Chu Yang still felt a headache because he couldn't give in on this issue.

Hogwarts' penchant for genius is very clear.

The aura of excellent learning ability and being the first in age can help Chu Yang gain some small privileges, such as reading books in the library that ordinary students can't read.

Moreover, the professors and teachers in the school are more willing to open small stoves for gifted students, which can make Chu Yang learn a lot of knowledge.

Just as the freshmen were in their minds, Professor McGonagall hurried to the infirmary, just in time to see the head nurse, Madam Pomfrey, treating Malfoy, while Hagrid stood by worriedly.

"Hagrid!" Professor McGonagall entered the room and called out softly.

"Oh! Professor McGonagall! Hagrid was startled, a little too weak to look at Professor McGonagall, after all, strictly speaking, it was a mistake in his work.

"Madam Pomfrey, how is this child doing?" Professor McGonagall slowly walked over to the head nurse and asked worriedly, "Do you need to be transferred to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries for treatment?" ”

"Don't worry, Professor McGonagall, it's not that serious." Lady Pomfrey smiled, "This freshman just drank some dirty water, and then got cold from the cold, and he will be fine after two or three days of rest." ”

Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief before she turned to Hagrid and asked, "I heard the kids tell me some inconsistencies before I came, can you tell me what the hell is going on?" ”

Hagrid scratched his head and said, "When I turned around, he had already fallen into the lake, and as for how he fell in, I didn't see it, but there was something in the lake at the time!" ”

Professor McGonagall swore that "we all know that there are magical creatures in the Black Lagoon, but it is certainly not that area, the fixed reserve is a contract that Hogwarts has made with them a long time ago, and they don't dare to sneak up on students under Dumbledore's nose!" ”

"More than that, I suspect that someone used magic, and it is very serious bad behavior to use offensive magic on classmates."

Hagrid immediately shook his head and said, "Professor McGonagall, I was nearby at the time, I didn't feel any fluctuations in mana, and the wands of those students were all left on the train, do you think any of them are strong enough to cast spells without a wand?" ”

"Hagrid, not everyone will follow the rules and regulations." Professor McGonagall took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "When the sorting ceremony is over, I'll check them one by one to see if they have wands." ”
