A black-haired girl walked forward with her head lowered. The Sorting Hat hesitated for a long time before sorting her into Ravenclaw.
At the end of the sorting ceremony, Professor McGonagall picked up the four-legged stool and the sorting hat and left the auditorium.
Ravenclaw received a total of twelve new students this year, Hufflepuff had more new students, and Gryffindor and Slytherin had a few fewer new students this year.
Sitting on the long table, Joel discovered a detail that had been overlooked before in Ravenclaw House: the proportion of girls was extremely high.
There are twelve freshmen, four boys and eight girls. There are only about 20 boys among the hundreds of people on the long table. The others are all little girls with long hair.
It is true that Yin rises and Yang declines.
But Joel still enjoyed it quite a lot. How can the rough voice of a boy during the voice-changing period be as good as that of a girl, Yingying Yanyan?
At this time, a man stood up on the teacher's bench. He was tall and thin, with flowing silver hair and long beard. His long hooked nose was crooked as if it had been broken once, and his bright blue eyes were hidden behind half-moon glasses.
And sharp.
Dumbledore's appearance is really impressive.
Looking around the auditorium, Joel pretended to be casual and focused his gaze on the dark clouds on the ceiling.
He didn't want to look into Dumbledore's eyes. This was the most powerful wizard in the world. He was extremely skilled in Legilimency. His meager Occlumency was absolutely vulnerable to him.
Dumbledore stretched out his hands and smiled, "It's another new school year! We sent away a group of old students and welcomed a group of new students!"
"I have a lot to say to you, but let the party begin first, and we can catch up on old times later!"
Everyone clapped vigorously. They had been hungry for a long time after working on the train for a long time. At this time, Dumbledore's words were absolutely in line with the people's wishes.
Joel saw that the long table in front of him was filled with all kinds of food, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, fried potato chips, boiled chicken legs, roasted chicken legs, fried chicken legs...
Joel's scalp felt numb, but the feeling of hunger urged him to stuff food into his mouth.
The food is not delicious, but there is nothing wrong with filling it up.
Alan chewed slowly beside him, and Marietta moved closer.
"Today's dinner was really good."
"Yeah, it's pretty good."
Joel felt like he was going to be embarrassed again.
At this time a boy sitting near him greeted him.
"Eddie Carmichael, nice to meet you."
Joel was glad that he didn't have to listen to Ellen and Marietta's awkward conversation, and turned to shake the boy's hand.
"Joel Taylor, hello."
If nothing else goes wrong, the four boys who have been newly assigned to Ravenclaw will become roommates, and Eddie's overtures are normal.
Joel is still very good at communicating with people, and he has used the interpersonal skills in his previous life very skillfully.
Within five minutes, he and Eddie had formed a temporary friendship.
"This is Alan Bott, our new roommate." He introduced Eddie to Alan.
Alan had been waiting beside him for a long time. He didn't understand where Marietta found so many topics, ranging from the newly appointed Minister Cornelius Fudge's New Deal to the gossip about the height of their dean, Professor Flitwick.
, he was almost bored to death by Marietta.
"Hello, hello, Eddie, you are so interesting!" Allen smiled and quickly took Eddie's right hand.
Eddie has a black face with a question mark. He is quite envious of Ellen. On the first day he came to Hogwarts, there was a girl chasing after him. From the time he got on the special train until now, he only has one weirdo next to him.
But Allen didn't care about the mood of the tool man Eddie, and kept asking him questions. No matter how ignorant Marietta was, she knew that she shouldn't disturb his relationship with his future roommate at this time.
Seeing Marietta leave with a slight disappointment, Allen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the food on the table, which looked delicious.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Sergey Rowe." Eddie led the two of them to a boy whose skin was pale and sickly.
Sergey glanced over the three of them, nodded slightly, and looked indifferent.
His blond hair was combed neatly and meticulously, and his chin was slightly raised, which combined with his cold face made him look somewhat arrogant.
Seeing that this new roommate had no intention of talking to them too much, the three of them returned to their original positions and chatted while enjoying dinner.
"I'm half and half," Eddie took a bite of the mutton pie. "My father is a wizard, and my mother is an ordinary person... I mean Muggle, until I received the Hogwarts acceptance letter, she was
Knowing that my father is actually a wizard."
"She originally wanted me to become a lawyer, but now it seems that this plan is going to go to waste."
"I grew up in an orphanage." Seeing Eddie and Allen turning their attention to him, Joel shrugged and said, "I don't know if my parents are wizards."
"Ah..." There was a hint of sympathy in their eyes for a moment.
"Don't look at me like that." Joel felt very uncomfortable. In his previous life, when his parents divorced and started their own families, the classmates and relatives around him looked at him like this.
It was as if he couldn't live without his parents. Facts have proved that he lived quite comfortably. After studying at the best university in the province, he entered a major Internet company, earned a good salary, and lived freely without having a girlfriend or buying a house.
.
"Tell me about you, Alan, what's your relationship with Bibi's multi-flavor beans?" Joel quickly changed the subject.
"Well..." Allen swallowed the chicken in his mouth, "Berdie Bott, the founder of Bibi's Multi-flavored Beans, is my grandfather."
Wow! Sure enough, they are related. As a best-selling snack in the British wizarding world, Bibi's multi-flavor beans have a high brand value, and the galleons earned are undoubtedly a huge number.
"Who is that...ghost lady?" Eddie asked as he picked up a fried chicken leg from the plate.
"Ms. Grey, she is our Ravenclaw ghost." Qiu Zhang explained to them, "Each house has its own resident ghost. Slytherin house is Bloody Barrow, Gryffindor is
Nick is almost headless, and Hufflepuff is the fat monk."
"Qiu, you know so much." Allen said with a blush.
"It's nothing, it's written in "Hogwarts: A School History"." Qiu smiled quietly.
Joel rolled his eyes when he saw Marietta sitting next to Qiu.
"But my grandfather never let me read this kind of book." Allen lowered his head and felt a little depressed.
"Then what did you do when you were a kid?" Eddie wiped his greasy hands and grabbed the new pudding on the table.
"Learn to make potions, try new flavors of multi-flavor beans, or learn how to make money." Allen sighed, "It's too boring."
No one responded to Allen's words. The few freshmen present were not as rich as the Bert family. No one could put themselves in his shoes and understand his mood.
