"That's right! Shafiq can't use spells - great!" Hermione and Ron suddenly realized.
"Are you happy that I can't release magic? And Hermione, what are you happy about? Don't you know a few spells?" Ivy asked with a dark face.
"I'm sorry, Ivy." Ron touched his head and smiled stupidly.
"Of course I'm not afraid anymore! I'm worried that you guys won't even be able to pass the test." Hermione said arrogantly.
"Worried about Ron?"
"Who cares about that idiot!"
"Tell me clearly who is the idiot!"
"It's you"········
The noise made Harry feel relieved. As for Ivy, he already knew how to sort the houses, so it didn't matter. And with the wand, even if he had to cast magic, he could barely do it half-finished.
"Everyone, the sorting ceremony will begin soon. Now, line up in a single row and follow me." Professor McGonagall's voice came, and at the same time, he appeared.
After everyone lined up, Professor McGonagall opened the door of the auditorium. What came into view was the magnificent hall. In the center of the hall, four extra-long tables were lined up vertically. Students from other grades had already taken their seats. The tables were filled with various items.
A variety of tableware and utensils, also decorated with some flowers.
There are more than ten seats on the rostrum in the auditorium, all of which are professors' seats. At this moment, except for Professor McGonagall, they are all occupied. There is a four-legged stool in front of the rostrum, with a shabby old stool on it.
pointed wizard hat.
Over the hall, some candles were suspended in the air, emitting golden light. On the roof was a starry sky.
"There is magic here that can synchronize the sky outside. I read about it in the school history." Hermione whispered.
"Ah~ I thought this place was open-air," Harry said in surprise.
"Quiet" Professor McGonagall called as she walked over to the high stool.
The hat on the high stool moved its body, as if it stretched. The largest fold on its body opened repeatedly, like a mouth, and actually made a sound:
You may think I'm not pretty enough
But never judge a hat by its cover
············
Basically, it talks about its origin and the history and respective characteristics of the four colleges.
When it was finished, several professors took the lead in applauding, and the students followed suit, and the applause was thunderous for a while.
The Sorting Hat saluted to the four dining tables. You could definitely tell that he was saluting, and then he stood still.
"It sounds like it means just putting on this hat?" Ron asked uncertainly
"Probably" Ivey replied
"I'm going to strangle Fred next time I see him, he scared me the whole holiday!" Ron growled.
"What a pity! It's so simple." Hermione was slightly dissatisfied.
"What are you regretting? You want to be in the limelight so much!" Ron couldn't figure it out. Wouldn't it be better to be able to enroll directly?
"I want you to take care of it!"
Harry did not participate in the discussion. He was a little worried. What if everyone was not sorted together? What if he was sorted into Slytherin? Look at the qualities it mentioned, such as bravery, wisdom, ambition and loyalty. These he
There seems to be none.
Professor McGonagall didn't care what they thought. She unfolded a roll of parchment and took a few steps forward.
"Next, whoever's name I read will sit up, put on his hat, and wait for sorting."
"Number One, Hannah Abbott"
A little girl with a rosy complexion and two golden braids squeezed out of the queue.
"This is Neville's wife" Ivy looked at her
Hannah sat on the stool, put on her hat, and for a moment
"Hufflepuff!" shouted the Sorting Hat
Then, people at the second table on the right applauded and cheered for Hannah. When Hannah ran over, several senior students stood up and shook hands with her, welcoming her and sitting down at that table.
"Terry Butt!"
"Ravenclaw!"
The first table on the left clapped and applauded to welcome new students to their seats.
"Lavender Brown!"
"Gryffindor!"
The second table on the left immediately burst into cheers.
"Millicent Burst!"
"Slytherin!"
The table on the far right burst into applause.
··········
After reading so much, Harry found that for some people, the Sorting Hat made a decision right away. But for some, it needed to think for a long time. For example, the demolition wizard Seamus, the Sorting Hat thought for a minute before sorting him into Gryffindor.
.This amazed him. A hat seemed to be smarter than himself.
"Hermione Granger!"
"Damn it! OK, relax, relax~" Hermione encouraged herself in her heart, trotted to the stool, and hurriedly put on her hat.
"Gryffindor!" As the Sorting Hat shouted, Ron snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Avi Shafik!" Professor McGonagall shouted
Silence fell in the auditorium, and the name of the Shafiq family was loud and clear. Long before Harry Potter appeared, Shafiq was the most troublesome opponent of the mysterious man.
Being watched by so many people, Ivey didn't panic. He walked slowly to the stool and put on his hat.
"Um----"
Well, it can only last for tens of seconds. Ivey is not worried that it can detect the memories of past lives. Although he cannot use Occlumency, he can directly block this part of the memory with his mental power alone. And he is not prepared to interfere.
Regarding the selection of the Sorting Hat, he was also curious about which house he could be assigned to.
"Hufflepuff!" finally shouted the Hat.
This time, everyone at the Hufflepuff table stood up and applauded vigorously. Ivy walked to the Hufflepuff table, and many people came over to shake his hand.
"Hello, I'm Cedric Diggory, nice to meet you!" A handsome young man stood up from the opposite side and extended his right hand.
Ivey narrowed his eyes and said, "Hello, please give me more advice in the future."
"Betty Ethel!"
Betty adjusted her clothes, walked forward, came to the stool, sat on it and put on her hat.
"Hmm - another person who is difficult to choose. He is very talented, smart and brave. What should we do? Well - then Sly -"
"No Slytherin, Hufflepuff!" Betty interrupted
"Hufflepuff? You will achieve great things in Slytherin"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Then - Hufflepuff!" In the end, the hat respected her choice. Betty saluted the professors and then walked towards Ivy. As for the applause on both sides, she ignored it.
Next, Neville Longbottom, Malfoy, Morne - everyone was assigned to a satisfactory house.
"Ron Weasley!" When it was Ron's turn, he was a little frightened and ran towards the stool with his head shrunken.
"Gryffindor!"
"Great! Ron" Percy said happily
"Well done! Brother" these are twins
"Harry Potter!" There was another moment of silence, followed by bursts of murmurs.
"Harry Potter? The Boy Who Lived?" "It's really him!" "He came to school too!"
When Harry put on his hat, he could see everyone in the auditorium craning their necks, hoping to get a clear look at him.
"This year is really strange. There are so many people who have a hard time making a choice. They are not bad at talent and have courage. Where should they be divided?"
"If you don't go to Slytherin, you can go to Gryffindor or Hufflepuff." Harry kept thinking.
"Don't go to Slytherin? Everyone seems to be very prejudiced against it, even a little girl just now - but it's still as you wish."
"Gryffindor!"
The moment the Sorting Hat shouted, the entire auditorium was overturned by the cheers of Gryffindor House students.
"We have Potter!" Such cheers echoed throughout the campus.
Harry came back and was still very disappointed because he could not be separated from Ivy. Harry cherished this only friend he had made in the Muggle world very much.
He looked up at where Ivy was sitting, and Ivey waved to him. Fortunately, Ron was with him.
He looked towards the rostrum. Hagrid was sitting in the corner. When he saw Harry's eyes, he gave him a thumbs up. In the middle of the rostrum, Dumbledore was sitting on a golden chair. Harry glanced at
I immediately recognized him. There was a picture of him on the chocolate frog's wizard card. There was also Professor Qiluo with a purple scarf on his head.
