As the sorting came to an end, Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment and swiped it on the Sorting Hat, and both of them disappeared into thin air.
Then, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore stood up
"First of all, let us welcome the first years and wish you a wonderful first year at Hogwarts. Secondly, welcome everyone back to Hogwarts to start the new school year. Before the banquet begins, I would like to
Said: Idiot! Cry! Residue! Screw it!”
"Thank you everyone!"
After he sat down, everyone clapped and cheered wildly, and as his words fell, there was also a whole table of food.
The four long tables are filled with delicacies: roast beef, roast turkey, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, mashed potatoes, potato chips, pudding, etc., as well as many weird and weird foods that are unique to the wizarding world.
Everyone started to feast
Facing the table full of food, Ivy was not very interested. Irene was not bad at cooking, and she often made big meals for him. But how can I put it? It is delicious, but these foods are not good for Ivy.
It seems like it's not even a meal, it's just a barbecue at most, and the taste is not even comparable.
This is also a criticism of the Harry Potter world. The food here is basically grilled. It is not a barbecue method that uses an open flame, but is cooked in an oven.
For people who have lived in China, rice must have soup and water to be delicious. He misses cooking, stir-frying, hot pot, and stews in his previous life. In fact, Ivey's cooking skills are not bad. After all, he is alone.
After working hard in the city, he still knew a little bit about various cuisines, and the cooking was quite delicious. But he was too young, and Irene never let him enter the kitchen.
Seeing the table full of food suddenly aroused Ivy's soul as a chef. Erin can't control him at Hogwarts, and there are magic ingredients in this world.
Ivey thinks multiple deputy positions are good. He wants to be a cook.
With enthusiasm comes energy. Ivy, who had always been a bit lazy, also straightened up. Betty next to him was still wondering why he suddenly became energetic.
Just as he was brainstorming the production process of some dishes, there were waves of exclamations from his classmates.
More than twenty white, translucent ghosts emerged from the walls, underground, murals and dining tables. A chubby, monk-like ghost emerged from the Hufflepuff dining table.
"Hi, freshmen, hello. I'm the resident ghost of Hufflepuff House. I'm glad that you can be assigned to Hufflepuff. I used to be a student here." As his voice faded, he also drifted away.
at.
"Ah——!" The screams came from the Gryffindor students next door. It was a ghost that ripped open its own neck.
The banquet continued. After everyone had eaten and drank, the remaining food disappeared. All the oil stains and soups disappeared, and the dinner plates became as smooth as ever.
Instead, there were desserts. All kinds of puddings, ice cream, fruit pies, and jelly filled the table. Even Betty was satisfied, she likes sweets.
"Hello, Ivy. My name is Ernie MacMillan. You can just call me Mike. Our family is from the north of England and we are also a pure-blood wizard." Opposite Ivy, there was a tall man with blond hair.
Martha, a relatively handsome boy, took the initiative to say hello.
"Hello, Avi Shafiq," Avi replied politely. He had some impression of this guy and he was considered a positive character.
"This is Betty, she doesn't like to talk much, but she's a nice person." He patted Betty on the shoulder and introduced.
"Hello, I'm Betty Ethel." Betty nodded slightly.
"Hello everyone, I am Justin Finch-Fletchley, I am also a pure-blood wizard."
"I'm Hannah Abbott——"

The new students in Badger House all began to introduce themselves. But having said that, the number of students assigned to Hufflepuff was much smaller than that of Gryffindor and Slytherin, only five or six people. And Gryffindor alone was a boy.
There are 5.
"Ivey!" came a shout from the table behind him.
It's Harry and the others
"You didn't get sorted into Gryffindor!" Fred couldn't believe it.
"Yeah, it's a shame," Ron echoed, "Your abilities are designed to take risks."
"The sorting hat can indeed make mistakes"...
As they continued to complain, Ivy noticed that the eyes of the students in Badger Hall gradually became colder. Even the good-tempered Hannah and Susan narrowed their eyes.
"Hey, why do you feel a little cold? Is the window somewhere open?" Ron wrapped his clothes tightly and asked in confusion. He didn't know that his death was approaching, but he was still talking nonsense.
"It's okay, it's not far away anyway, it's not Slytherin, right -" Ivy said indifferently
"That's right, not the worst outcome."
The two sides ended their conversation and Ivey turned back.
"Avi, are you familiar with Harry and the others?" Hannah asked
"I know Harry very well. We went to the same primary school in the Muggle world for 6 years," Ivy replied.
"What is elementary school?" Mike asked.
"In the Muggle world, children generally go to kindergarten when they are three or four years old, and go to elementary school when they are about six years old. Unlike Hogwarts, elementary schools rarely have boarding schools. The main tasks are to make friends and play."
"That sounds good," Mike said.
"Hannah, you are also mixed race, don't you know?"
"I've been to the Muggle world, but I just played in the past and never went to school."
“That’s a shame”
"Ahem - be quiet" Professor Dumbledore stood up and all the desserts on the table disappeared.
"If you've all eaten and drank enough, I still have a few things to pay attention to."
"Attention first-year students, no one is allowed to enter the forest area on the school grounds. Of course, old classmates should also remember this." As he spoke, Dumbledore glanced at the Gryffindor students.
Spend a long time on the Weasley Twins.
"Also, the administrator, Mr. Filch, also asked me to remind everyone not to cast magic in the corridor."
"The review of Quidditch players will be carried out in the second week of this semester. If you are interested, please contact Ms. Huo Qi."
"Finally, I want to warn everyone, if you don't want to die in pain and misery, don't enter the corridor on the right on the fourth floor."
As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, there was a low laugh from the Gryffindor table. Apparently they thought this was a joke made by the headmaster to keep them in peace.
"Before going to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore waved his staff gently, and the golden ribbons floated into the air and turned into lines of text.
"Everyone chooses a tune and is ready to sing!"
All the teachers and students sang loudly. I won’t go into details about the process. It’s hard to describe in one sentence.
"Music~ is more charming than anything else! It's bedtime now. Let's go back to the dormitory."
Everyone stood up, and the students from the four colleges crowded together and walked towards the exit.
"Avi, what the principal said just now is that the corridor on the fourth floor is very dangerous. Are you kidding me?" Several people crowded together started chatting again.
"It should be true, otherwise it will be directly banned, just like the Forbidden Forest. At least, he must explain the reason to us clearly," Ivey replied
"Why is there such a dangerous place in school? Hagrid told me that Hogwarts is the safest in the world." Harry was confused.
"Just listen to this, don't take it seriously," Ivey complained.
"Why?"
Ivey doesn't know how to answer him. Let him say whatever you want. Yes, Hogwarts was indeed the safest place before. But after you come, Azkaban may be safer than here.
"Don't worry, at least Dumbledore is indeed the most powerful wizard!" I could only comfort him like this.
