Chapter 14: Branching out as desired

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Xifa remembered.

Elise's grandfather is often absent from the castle.

I'm afraid she was angry with Professor Fergus and wanted to surprise him...

In short, this issue was subsequently forgotten by Western France.

"What about you?"

Xifa was suddenly curious about Luna's family. Luna's family should be similar to Elise, otherwise she wouldn't have grown up in the castle and become best friends with Elise.

"Our Potions Master asked my great-great-grandfather to educate him for a while."

Xifa stayed where he was, another hidden boss!

"Edith Arnold!"

Professor Fergus took out a piece of parchment and started calling people according to the list on it.

Xifa gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask.

Observe the new students wholeheartedly.

First, a little boy ran out from behind him, rushed to the Sorting Hat and put it on hastily.

Sure enough, the moment the Sorting Hat touched his head, he shouted: "Gryffindor!"

A group of wizard robes decorated with red patterns burst into light applause on the table.

"Not enthusiastic at all."

Xifa curled his lips.

"Glinton Black!"

A boy with a handsome appearance and a cold expression stepped forward, first bowed to the vice-principal to express his gratitude, and then solemnly put the sorting hat on his head with both hands.

"Slytherin!"

The Sorting Hat seemed to be confused.

There was no applause in the green Slytherin, and Xifa understood how enthusiastic Gryffindor was already.

As an emperor and a courtier, at this time, the principal seemed to be a solemn and rigorous person. I guess he didn't like the wizard's flamboyant behavior.

"Eileen Prince!"

The girl with black hair, pale face and a sad expression walked forward with her head in her hands.

She carefully put on the sorting hat, and soon, she was also sorted into Slytherin.

"Do you like this kind of girl? With the same hair color as you?"

Elise stepped on Xifa hard and hummed without looking back.

Luna on the other side also pricked up her ears.

"No, I just thought of someone."

Xifa quickly explained.

Eileen Prince is the mother of Severus Snape.

Severus Snape is an infatuated and tragic man in the original Harry Potter novel.

And his mother, Eileen Prince, would also marry a Muggle who constantly beat, scolded and humiliated her, and was also a tragic figure.

If you have the chance, you can give her a hand. It seems that she is also very talented in potions. However, you have to consider Elise's feelings...

After lowering his head and thinking, the Sorting Hat assigned several new students.

As the number of people became smaller and smaller, Elise and Luna were also called out.

Only Xifa stood alone at the front.

"Tom Marvolo Riddle!"

Stepping out of the crowd, Tom, who has a slender figure, tried his best to show his handsome and sunny side, and I have to say that he succeeded.

Xifa found that many senior students were paying attention to him.

Tom walked up to the Sorting Hat unhurriedly, but Xifa noticed that his hands were clenched and hanging by his hips.

The veins on the back of my hands popped out, and I seemed very nervous.

"Slytherin!"

He slowly put on the Sorting Hat, until the sound of the Sorting Hat sounded, and he learned that he was sorted into Slytherin, and Tom's body relaxed visibly.

The Slytherin table also applauded uncharacteristically enthusiastically. Unexpectedly, Tom gained the favor of most people in Slytherin in just one afternoon on the train.

In the end, Xifa, who was at the front of the queue, became the last freshman in the branch.

"Sifa Corwin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Vice Principal Fergus rolled up the parchment in his hand and put it in his arms.

As the last new student, almost everyone in the hall turned their attention to Xifa.

He is another handsome young man with a little bit of oriental charm, which has attracted the attention of many senior students.

Against the pressure of the gaze, Xifa took a deep breath, raised her head and chest, and strode forward confidently.

Arriving in front of the Sorting Hat, the old man nodded slightly to Xifa. Xifa was startled, and then he realized it. It must be that the old man knew what happened in Diagon Alley and he remembered himself.

Following the example of the previous freshmen, Xifa gave a salute to show respect, and Xifa put the sorting hat on his head.

"It's difficult... it's so difficult... it's very difficult. You are the most difficult student to be sorted into this year. You are brave, and you can sacrifice everything for the people you care about. You also have ambitions, but it seems to have been born in recent days. You are steady and prudent. It's a pity.

You don't have..., otherwise you can enter all four houses. In my opinion, Gryffindor is the most suitable house for you."

Realizing that the Sorting Hat was about to make a bad decision, Xifa quickly expressed his thoughts.

"Such a firm belief! Well, I respect your choice, I just guide you, not decide you."

"Ravenclaw!"

Outside, from the time Xifa put on the Sorting Hat, time began to pass minute by minute.

Gradually, sparse conversations began to sound around.

Before the professor could reprimand him, the sound of the sorting hat suddenly sounded, and the scene became calm again.

Xifa put down the sorting hat, saluted to it, and walked towards the two girls with bright smiles.

See Xifa go to the seat and sit down.

Professor Fergus tapped the high stool with his wand, and the stool and hat disappeared at the same time.

Then he walked up to the staff bench, straightened his clothes, and then slowly sat down.

Immediately afterwards, the most gorgeously dressed old man in the middle of the staff table stood up. That was Principal Armando Dippet.

As the principal stood up and opened his arms, the auditorium, which originally only had lights hanging down to illuminate the staff seats, suddenly became brightly lit.

Xifa squinted his eyes in discomfort.

"First of all, we welcome the new students who join Hogwarts this year, let us congratulate them together!"

As soon as the words fell, the principal took the lead in applauding. The students were either forced by the principal's shock, or the previous cheers accumulated at this moment.

In short, students from all colleges gave warm applause.

Seeing that it was almost done, the principal raised his hand and pressed it in front of him.

The applause gradually became sparse until there was no one left.

"Then next, I want to explain this year's disciplinary requirements..."

After more than half an hour of speech by Balabala, the principal finally concluded his leadership speech.

As the principal sat down and waved his hand, a clear bell rang in everyone's ears.

The distracted Xifa was startled, and subconsciously activated the hand of the mage to protect himself. When he realized it, he quickly stopped.

Fortunately, no one noticed my gaffe, except Luna and Elise beside me.

They didn't ask. After getting to know each other for a long time, they knew that Xifa would take the initiative to tell them.

Huh?

Xifa quickly activated the retracted mage's hand.

He felt that there was a faint magic fluctuation on the table.

He told the two girls how he felt, but they said they still felt nothing.

"It's always been like this, no problem, don't be suspicious."

Elise stuck out her tongue and made a face, and showed Xifa step by step how to summon the food she wanted to eat.
