Hailis and Qiu sat next to each other, and Qiu curiously looked at the book "Pride and Prejudice" in Hailis' hands.
"What is this, a Muggle novel?"
Hailis pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, I passed by a Muggle bookstore the other day and saw that the introduction of this book was very interesting, so I bought it."
She secretly glanced at Joel, who was discussing the new professor with his two other roommates.
"Then let me see it later," Qiu Zhang said with a smile, "I'm also curious about how Muggles live without magic."
In the small room at the other end of the hall, the new students were waiting here while Professor McGonagall went to work on the sorting ceremony.
"Well, Ron..." Harry hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Ron what he knew. "Joel Taylor is not a first-year student. When I went to Diagon Alley to buy robes..."
He told everything about meeting Joel, and Ron's face turned pale. His eyes passed over the faces of every new student in the room. As expected, Joel was not found, but he didn't care.
Joel's concealment from him was more concerned about what Joel had said before.
"Then we are really going to fight the Welsh dragon?" He was at a loss. "Fred said so, and Joel said so..."
"Harry, you don't know how scary the Welsh Green Dragon is. I think it will be difficult for me to survive the sorting ceremony." Ron's face was pale. He was holding onto Harry's robe with his right hand. His body was trembling, and his legs and feet were a bit a bit awkward.
Soft.
Neville Longbottom on the side felt a little uneasy when he heard this, "Is it true?"
"Of course," Ron said matter-of-factly, "I kind of know why the number of wizards in the UK is so rare. They probably didn't survive the sorting ceremony, and their heads were bitten off by the Welsh green dragon! They were even buried when they were buried.
The body can’t even be pieced together!”
By the end of the sentence, Ron's eyes were already red.
In the quiet cabin, Ron's words reached the ears of every new student.
Many students who knew little about Hogwarts turned pale for a while. The remaining students, such as Malfoy, were not so kind to tell others. They stood aside and watched the jokes. The honest and honest Neville burst into tears.
I was about to cry.
"I knew it wasn't that simple." He stamped his feet impatiently. Neville, the toad he had just found when crossing the Black Lake, came out of his pocket and looked at his master with wide eyes. "My grandma still wants me."
I'm as brave as my parents, but I couldn't even pass the sorting ceremony..."
Behind the three of them, Hermione crossed her arms and sneered. Miss Granger, who had been studying magic books all summer long, naturally knew what the real sorting ceremony was at Hogwarts. This was the perfect time to show off her skills in front of everyone.
knowledge.
She coughed twice, hoping to attract the attention of the three people.
But Ron and others were immersed in the fear of facing the dragon and did not notice Hermione at all.
Hermione's child's temper was welling up, and she stepped forward and raised her chin proudly towards the three of them, "Let me tell you, during the sorting ceremony, we only need to wear a sorting hat, and we don't need to fight any dragons at all.
!”
"That's all what I lied to you!"
Ron shook his head. He didn't believe Hermione's words at all. He was so naive and ignorant that he never imagined that a warm-hearted child who would give him ice cream would deceive him.
Seeing that no one believed her words, Hermione stamped her feet angrily and stood under the wall, hugging her chest and saying nothing.
At this time, Professor McGonagall walked in with a serious face and led the freshmen out of the room. Ron and others were uneasy, needless to say.
The dean's table was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. The old students sat on chairs and watched the freshmen standing in a row in front of them. Professor McGonagall put the sorting hat on the four-legged stool and explained the rules of the sorting. Ron and others were
Completely dumbfounded.
Ron found Joel on the Ravenclaw table. He was chatting and laughing happily with the girl next to him. Ron felt hateful in his heart when he saw this scene.
"Hannah Abbott!"
The tough little girl jumped up on the four-legged stool, waiting for the arrangement of the Sorting Hat.
"Hufflepuff!"
Joel can almost memorize the sorting results of this year. Hermione and Neville went to Gryffindor, Malfoy went to Slytherin...
The appearance of Harry Potter made the student teachers at Hogwarts very excited. He can be called the most famous minor in the British wizarding world. The students all wanted to see what the child who defeated the mysterious man looked like.
See if he has three heads and six arms, and can hold the mysterious man's nose and spin it several times.
Of course, they didn't know that Voldemort had no nose.
"Gryffindor!" the Sorting Hat loudly shouted Harry's sorting result, and the Gryffindor table suddenly became a sea of joy.
"We have Potter!" The Weasley brothers wanted to announce this news to the whole world. Dumbledore showed a happy smile at the teacher's table.
There is no suspense, Ron Weasley was sorted into Gryffindor like his five brothers, and then it was Bernie Selwyn's turn.
The chubby boy jumped onto the four-legged stool, and the dirty-looking Sorting Hat squirmed in his head. Bernie closed his eyes nervously, and Haylis in the audience also clenched her fists.
"Slytherin!" shouted the Sorting Hat.
Hailis breathed a long sigh of relief, and her expression looked much more relaxed.
"You don't want Bernie to come to Ravenclaw?" Joel asked.
Haylis shook her head, "Most of the Selwyn family are from Slytherin. My parents will be angry if Bernie comes to Ravenclaw."
Joel gave her a slightly thoughtful look. By this time, the sorting ceremony was over. Dumbledore stood up with a smile on his face. After saying a few words, he announced the start of the dinner.
Facing the delicious dishes prepared by the house elves with all their strength, Joel felt that his stomach was mostly full after eating two pieces of roast beef and roast potatoes.
Hailes stuffed a mouthful of lamb chops into her mouth and saw that Joel was drinking pumpkin juice one mouthful at a time, but not eating the sumptuous dishes on the table. After chewing the food in her mouth and swallowing it, she asked, "You
Are you full?"
Only then did Joel remember that this girl Haylis liked to remind him to eat more whenever she sat next to him.
In order to prevent her from nagging him again, Joel quickly stuffed two more pieces of pudding into his mouth.
"No, I was just thinking about the transformation spell of object transfiguration. There are a few points that I still don't understand." Joel made up an excuse casually. In fact, he had already understood this problem during the summer vacation.
However, Haylis took it seriously. She put down her knife and fork and discussed it seriously with Joel, "I was also studying this problem during the summer vacation. Professor McGonagall's explanation was a bit too general. I think the spell should be used when casting the transformation spell.
The author must consider the characteristics of the item itself, otherwise it will be difficult to restore its external attributes."
