"Anna?" Hearing Alan's question, Edward became even more confused, and his sleepy eyes tried to open wide, looking around.

"I didn't see Anna, but if you don't know where she is, you'll probably have to ask Professor Flitwick!" Edward was sleepy, but his mind was still clear.

Awakening the dreamer with a word, Alan decided to ask Professor Flitwick as soon as the sorting ceremony was over. As for why he didn't go now, because he saw the freshmen walking into the auditorium in a long line and with trepidation. Ron's sister Ginny is also among them, her Weasley's characteristic red hair is very conspicuous, unlike Ginny in the movies that Alan has seen in her previous life, this little girl is very delicate and looks soft and cute.

Meanwhile, Professor McGonagall, who wears glasses and has her hair tightly tied up in a bun, places the famous Hogwarts Sorting Hat on the stool in front of the freshmen. Each year, this patched, dirty, torn old hat sorts new students to four Hogwarts houses (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin).

Looking at the crumpled old bark-like Sorting Hat, Alan couldn't help but think of this time last year, when he put it on with fear, closed his brain with all his attention, revealed the memories he wanted to present to the Sorting Hat, and perfectly deceived the Sorting Hat and hid his origins. And now, he could easily observe the expectant, nervous, and frightened expressions of the freshmen! For example, at this moment, a very skinny gray-haired boy was called to the front and put on the Sorting Hat in fear.

Allen's gaze slowly shifted to Headmaster Dumbledore, who was sitting in the faculty chair watching the sorting ceremony, his long silver beard and half-moon-shaped glasses glittering in the candlelight. Professor Flitwick sat on a high stool, spotted Allen's gaze, and smiled kindly at his protégé. At the top sat a large, thick-haired Hagrid, gulping down a glass of wine. The most conspicuous member of the faculty table was Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, dressed in a water-green robe, with his trademark and charming smile on his shiny white teeth.

After all, a five-time winner of Wizard Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award, such a face is very charming when paired with his legendary experience. But in the eyes of Allen, who knows the truth, the flamboyant Gildero is more and more annoying, especially after seeing Gilderoy treasure the photo of himself and Daisy in the gift box.

Professor Snape wasn't in the faculty chair, and it looked like he had gone to block Harry. No, how could Alan correct his mistakes, how could he use the word "block"! Use your brain, and you can clearly know that Professor Snape, who was following Harry, must have been the first teacher to find out that Harry was not at Hogwarts, even before Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore. Although he ridiculed Harry in all kinds and showed a deep dislike for Harry, he was the person who paid the most attention to Harry and hoped that Harry would be safe and sound in this world!

All kinds of delicious food appear on the table, and the most amazing thing is that the transparent drink cup in front of everyone, as long as you say the name of the fruit, the drink cup will automatically appear as the juice made from this fruit. A mischievous Ravenclaw boy says "durian", and the pale green, heavy juice instantly appears in the cup. He frowned after taking a sip. The people around him laughed unkindly!

Although Alan had a heart, he was also whetted by this delicious food, and he thought that the custard tan was sweet and suitable for his appetite.

Before Alan could finish a pie, he saw Professor Snape walk into the auditorium and say something to Professor McGonagall, who walked out with a serious expression. It wasn't long before Professor Dumbledore left his seat. Alan knew in his heart that Harry had arrived at school.

From a distance, Alan and Hermione at the Gryffindor table looked at each other tacitly, Alan nodded, and Hermione nodded in response. At the very least, Hermione didn't have to worry about Harry's safety now!

Professor Dumbledore soon returned, and after he had announced what to look out for this semester, the young wizards, led by their respective prefects, returned to their dormitories in the various houses to rest. There's nothing more comfortable and pleasant than a good night's sleep after you've eaten and drunk.

Alan broke away from Ravenclaw's group and found Professor Flitwick. Professor Flitwick is standing with Professor Lockhart.

"Professor!" Alan saluted the professor respectfully, though anxious to learn of Anna's news.

"This is our wonderful Ravenclaw student, Alan Harris, who is very talented and eager to learn. He is also a recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class!", Professor Flitwick proudly introduced his favorite student to Lockhart, and looked particularly proud.

Alan was reluctant, but his face did not show the slightest hint of it, and he greeted Professor Lockhart. But the attentive Professor Flitwick noticed that Alan did not bow to Lockhart, but only nodded in greeting.

"Ah, Alan, I didn't expect you to be as good as you among my fans!I think you can get my autograph whenever you want!" Gilderoy Lockhart recognized Eren as the boy who broke into his carriage on the train, thinking that Eren was his big fan of books.

"Thank you, Professor Flitwick, I want to ask you, do you know where Anna has been, she didn't show up at Hogwarts!" Alan asked straight to himself.

"Oh, Anna, she's applied for a transfer, she's back in her country. Professor Flitwick thought of Anna with great regret. "Oh, by the way, she left you a letter to show you when you ask for news about her. ”

"Well, thank you, Professor. Although shocked by the news, Alan showed good upbringing, accepted the letter, and politely thanked Professor Flitwick.

Back in the bedroom, Alan opened the letter, and what caught his eye was Anna's delicate and beautiful writing, just like Anna herself, which was amiable and comfortable.

Dear Alan,

See the words as they are. By the time you read this letter, I should have been in distant China. Due to some family reasons, I had to return to my kingdom and take on the responsibilities of the people. Maybe we won't ever see each other again in this life, but I will always remember that there was a boy at Hogwarts who was gentle, polite, intelligent and resolute.

May you be healthy and happy in this life!

Your best friend: Anna

And I would like to send you a poem that is very famous in my kingdom:

When you are young, if you fall in love with someone,

Please, please be gentle with him.

No matter how long or how short you have been in love,

If you can always be gentle with each other, then,

All moments will be a flawless beauty.

If you have to separate, say goodbye well,

And give thanks in your heart,

Thank you for giving you a memory.

When you grow up, you will know,

At the moment of looking back,

Youth without resentment will have no regrets,

Like the quiet full moon on the hill.

Gently and carefully folded Anna's letter, Alan placed it in the system's storage compartment. Although I don't know the specific reason for Anna's transfer, Alan will not force it to get together and leave sometimes. Life is so long, who knows who is the passer-by, who will be the only one! I can only wish Anna all the best and everything goes well.
