Chapter VIII Sorting Ceremony

"Hannah Abbott!" Professor McGonagall called out the first name.

Sure enough, this is the iron-clad Hannah Abbott mentioned in various fan novels in her previous life, Ryan complained in his heart. But in alphabetical order by last name, it should indeed be her first branch.

I saw little girls with red cheeks and two golden braids stumbling out of the queue and putting on the sorting hat.

Ryan thought that at the end of the story, Hannah Abbott became the owner of the Leaky Cauldron and married Neville Longbottom, and then looked at this little reckless girl. A kind of excitement to participate in history emerged from the bottom of his heart.

.

Hannah sat down on the stool, and soon she heard the Sorting Hat shouting in a long tone, "Hufflepuff!"

The people at the table on the right applauded and cheered Hannah, welcoming her to sit at their table, and the ghost of the fat monk at the long table also waved to her happily.

"Susan Burns."

"Hufflepuff!" Susan quickly ran to Hannah and sat down.

The sorting continued, and Ryan discovered that the hat would change its tone every time it pronounced a person's name. It seemed that a hat's daily life should be very monotonous. It was really a poor hat.

Before his name was read, Ryan began to guess which college he would be assigned to.

Because of blood, Slytherin is definitely impossible. As for Ravenclaw, Ryan, as a poor student, said that people probably look down on him. So the possible houses are Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.

The atmosphere of both houses is quite good, but after seeing Hermione being sorted into Gryffindor, Ryan began to prefer Gryffindor. After all, having an acquaintance who is a super academic is better than having no acquaintance at all.

Good to know.

Finally, when Neville Longbottom returned the hat to Professor McGonagall, Ryan's name was read out by Professor McGonagall.

So he put on the hat that had probably never been washed since the school was founded in 993 AD.

Communicating with a hat is a very novel thing. Even though Ryan has experienced it in two lifetimes, he has never encountered this kind of thing before.

After putting the hat on his head, Ryan heard a small voice saying: "Although I think your idea is a bit rude, I still want to thank you for your concern, but the life of an old hat is not as boring as you think. I

I can feel your kindness and courage, so I have decided."

Before Ryan could react, the small voice turned into a loud shout: "Gryffindor."

Ryan took off his hat and put his hands on the stool respectfully. Although the hat was dirty, torn, and full of patches, it represented Hogwarts better than this magnificent castle, because the wisdom injected by the four giants made it possible to

It became a representation of the spirit of Hogwarts.

After bowing to the professors, Ryan walked to the Gryffindor table and sat next to Neville.

After a while, Harry Potter was sorted into Gryffindor as in the original text, and everyone on the table stood up and cheered and applauded.

When Professor McGonagall came back from placing the sorting hat, Dumbledore stood up from the big golden chair in the center of the teacher's seat. He looked at the students with a smile on his face and stretched out his arms to them, as if nothing could compare to him.

Seeing the students gathered together made him even more happy. "Welcome!" he said, "Welcome to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before the banquet begins, I want to say a few words. That is: Idiot!

Crying nose! Residue! Trouble! "Thank you everyone!"

He sat down again. Everyone clapped and cheered. Ryan looked at Hermione opposite and asked: "What does the principal mean by this sentence?" Hermione was a little confused and replied: "I haven't seen it in the book. This may be

Some special welcome words from the wizarding world."

Neville was beside him and interrupted them: "Don't think about that now. Let's eat quickly. Don't you feel hungry?"

Ryan saw that the empty tableware was filled with all kinds of food. According to his usual dinner habit, he took some boiled potatoes, pea shoots and tomato sauce and ate it with chicken. Even in the UK

After ten years of living together, Ryan is still not used to eating a lot of meat at night. Fortunately, at home, his adoptive father is also Chinese, and the food at home is somewhat Chinese-style.

When everyone had almost eaten, the rest of the food disappeared from the plates. The plates and forks became as smooth as ever. After a while, the pudding came, and there were all kinds of ice cream flavors.

With the help of sweets, everyone chatted smoothly. Ryan and Hermione kept asking the prefect Percy some academic questions. This lively atmosphere was maintained until the desserts disappeared.

With the disappearance of the last dessert, all kinds of tableware also disappeared, and the table became as clean as if it had just been placed.

Silence returned to the restaurant, and Professor Dumbledore stood up again: "Everyone, I think everyone has eaten and drank enough. Then, I would like to ask you a few things to pay attention to.

First of all, please note that the first-year students are prohibited from entering the woods on campus. Some of our classmates from the old class should also remember this.

Dumbledore's shining eyes glanced towards the Weasley twins.

Secondly, the administrator, Mr. Filch, also asked me to remind everyone not to perform magic in the corridors between classes.

"The review of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of this semester. Students who are interested in participating in the college varsity team please contact Mrs. Huo Qi.

Finally, I must tell everyone that anyone who does not want to encounter an accident and die in pain should not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor."

Hearing this sentence, a few freshmen laughed, but most of them kept quiet. Because most students knew that as the principal, Dumbledore never lied about safety.

Ryan knew that this was the level for the Philosopher's Stone at the end of the semester. But this thing had nothing to do with him. After all, these things were prepared for Harry and Voldemort, so as an outsider, he tried not to get involved.

Although the Sorcerer's Stone is very precious, you can definitely exchange it for a lot of good things when you take it to the Wanjie Grocery Store and meet customers who need it. But thinking that Dumbledore has been staring at that thing, Ryan gave up a bold idea. After all, he

I don't want to be regarded as an enemy by the most powerful white wizard.

Dumbledore paused to let everyone digest the news, and then said loudly: "Okay, everyone, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Almost all the teachers' faces froze.

Dumbledore flicked the wand, and a long golden ribbon flew out of the wand, twisting and coiling like a snake above the high dining table, forming lines of text.

"Everyone chooses the tune he likes." Dumbledore said, "Get ready and sing!"

Ryan felt a little embarrassed, but he still sang the whole song according to the tune in the movie highlights he had watched.

When Dumbledore announced that it was bedtime, the Hogwarts opening ceremony was officially over.
