"Oh yes...Gryffindor!"

The sorting ceremony has begun. Whether it is the freshmen in front of the stage or the old students in the audience, they are all looking forward to it at this moment. You must know that for every outstanding student in the college, the college is likely to get more

point.

Next to the high stool, Maka looked at each new student sitting on the stool with a smile, and sincerely wished them a wonderful school life. In front of him, a piece of parchment rolled up leisurely.

Floating, registered above is the list of new students for this academic year.

Taking the Sorting Hat from the little girl in front of her who was sorted into Gryffindor House, Maka nodded to her and then glanced at the parchment again.

"Next," he read aloud, "Sarah Hohenheim."

As Maka announced her name, Sarah immediately walked out of the freshmen queue in front of the faculty. It must be said that her petite and cute appearance was enough to attract everyone's attention. If she could

If she remains as well-behaved and reserved as she is today, she will definitely not be afraid of male classmates who will not follow her and pursue her in the future.

"...please take a seat!"

When Sarah walked to the high stool, Maka stretched out her hand to signal.

"Thanks."

Sarah leaned slightly towards Maka, then turned around and sat on the stool, so Maka conveniently placed the sorting hat on her head. As soon as the hat fell on her head, she suddenly let out a light sigh.

"Huh?" the Sorting Hat muttered in a confused voice, "Excellent wisdom and knowledge, as well as a spiritual will that surprised the Hat... There is a little bookworm? Uh-huh... Talent! Excellent talent! It's a pity...

…Talent is not talent, it’s really a pity for Hat…”

The Sorting Hat muttered very softly, but others might not be able to hear it clearly, but Sarah herself could obviously hear it. When she heard the words "talent is not talent", her eyes wandered for a moment.

"Excuse me, where should I be sorted?" She suddenly spoke, interrupting the Sorting Hat's whisper.

"Oh, need I say that?" The Sorting Hat twisted the tip of its hat and shouted cheerfully, "Ravenclaw!"

In any case, Ravenclaw naturally has another little beauty, which is undoubtedly the happiest thing for the eaglets today. Amidst the passionate and restrained applause, Sarah put her head on

He handed the hat back to Maka, and then walked slowly towards the Ravenclaw table.

"'Talent is not talent'?" Maka looked at her leaving back and said casually, "What do you mean? Are you referring to her alchemy?"

"Yes!" The Sorting Hat twisted in his hand again, "It's really rare and outstanding... It's a pity, it's a pity... Her talents will not have the possibility to grow... Oops..."

"I see," Maka thought thoughtfully, "because alchemy has come to an end, do you want to seek a path in another direction?"

In a sense, Maka's guess at this time is actually not wrong. However, there are some things where the so-called "truth" cannot be drawn just by relying on a few clues.

"Well..." He suppressed his thoughts for the time being, looked at the names on the list, and then said loudly, "The next one is Natalie Johnson!"

There are not many freshmen this year, but the sorting ceremony is sometimes very fast. Especially for those students with distinctive personalities, the sorting hat can always react the moment it falls, and then yell out a strange tone

The name of the college that matches this student.

Alexander waited anxiously in the queue. The classmates who were called sat on the stools one by one, and then used a broken hat to decide the college that was destined to accompany them until adulthood. In the original world, this kind of ceremony would have been

It will definitely make people laugh, but no one can laugh now.

This is all because that old hat...can actually talk!

After several wonderful experiences, Alexander thought he would no longer be surprised. But when he saw the hat talking and even singing, he was still deeply shocked.

"Enns, aren't you surprised at all? The hat can talk..." He stared blankly at the classmate who was being sorted, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch the only boy he knew beside him.

"What's that?" Enns replied nonchalantly, but his eyes remained on the ceiling of the auditorium, looking at the illusory starry sky, "You have never seen anything more wonderful...

Ah, is this the magical world that my mother once lived in?"

He was looking up at the ceiling and murmuring softly, but his thoughts had already flown to the ice cave in the ice and snow that day... and of course, the huge stone hall in the deepest part of the cave.

At this moment, a voice woke him up from his trance.

"…Next up, Ens Tavon."

"Hey, it's your turn..." Alexander poked him again.

"I heard!"

After coming back to his senses, Enns curled his lips, then quickly withdrew his gaze and walked towards Maka.

"Hello!" Maka looked at him and said, "Sit down!"

This boy, who was also contacted by Maka, was a little different from other children. When this little guy went on a rampage with magic power for the first time, Maka happened to be next door to his house, so he met him almost immediately.

to his.

But after that, when he wanted to talk to the father and son again after the holiday, he was somewhat unexpectedly rejected by Enns's irritable father at the door. The reason he got at the time was very simple -

The other party knows very well what Hogwarts is, and they can prepare themselves for admission and board the Hogwarts Express on time on the first day of school.

In this case, of course there is no reason for Maka to get involved, right?

So it was not until tonight that he met this little boy named Ens Tavon for the second time. It was impossible to say that Maca was not interested in their family's story.

However, no matter how curious he was, it was just a trivial matter. Maka didn't pay too much attention to it. She just said hello first and prepared to put the sorting hat on him after he sat down.

But just when the hat was about to fall on Xiao Ens' head, the main door of the auditorium was suddenly opened, and a voice rushed in recklessly.

Maka paused her hand and looked at the other person in confusion - that was Filch. Although he was a bit rough on weekdays, he wouldn't cause any trouble during the important sorting ceremony. Look.

Looks like something happened.

Not to mention Maka's secret thoughts, she saw Filch trotting in a hurry, rushing all the way behind Professor McGonagall, and then bent down and said something in her ear.

And at the next moment, Professor McGonagall waved to Maka.

"The people from the Wizarding Association are here, please go and explain to them! Sorting is an important ceremony for us at Hogwarts, so we have to ask them to wait a moment."

"I came here so late, obviously just to have a meal..." Maka shrugged and whispered, "I understand... Professor Snape, I'll leave it to you to do the roll call for the branch. I have to go out and deal with it!"

Since the end of last semester, it has been him who has been in contact there, and it is obviously not easy to switch to someone else this time.

"Um."

Snape took the list and the Sorting Hat from him and nodded. After Maka left the auditorium and the main door slowly closed again, Snape put the Sorting Hat on Enns' head.

.

"Have you started again? Let's see... Well, it's difficult... Really, this is indeed a bit difficult," the hat began to hesitate again, "Slytherin? Slytherin? You must be ambitious enough,

He also has good decision-making ability...but, um...when it comes to courage, he obviously has it, and his head is quite smart...By the way! Hey, little guy! Can you tell me where you want to go?"

Although in front of Alexander just now, he acted nonchalant about the Sorting Hat, but now when it really fell on his head, the kind of evaluation that spoke directly to his heart made his scalp start to tingle.

"You...you asked me?" Enns felt that he didn't know how to answer, "Uh...I don't know. I think...you can just decide."

"Really? Well... Then Slater... Oh! No, no, no, wait, wait, wait! I think we have another choice!" The Sorting Hat suddenly jumped up and spun around, screaming, "

Hufflepuff!"

One of Enns' eyes was covered by the Sorting Hat that jumped up and fell back on his head. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to lift the hat, but the doubts in his heart made him not take it off immediately.

In fact, it was obvious - he didn't understand at all why he kept mentioning the names of other houses at the beginning, but in the end, "Hufflepuff" popped up instead?

"Why... uh, Hufflepuff?" Enns rolled his eyes and looked above his head, but he could only see a large brim of his hat.

"Kaka! Because I think this is a good choice! Little guy, you-"

The Sorting Hat laughed and seemed to want to say something else, but Snape had already picked it up and announced the next name.

This year, the number of students who have been sorted into Hufflepuff is still the largest, at least that's how it looks now. Although Enns doesn't really care which house he goes to, he is still quite depressed because he is sorted into it somewhat inexplicably.

Just as he walked towards the Hufflepuff table with a puzzled look on his face, another student following his name had been quickly sorted into Slytherin. Not only that, even the next name was

Read out by Snape.

"...Alexander Wolfe."

Enns heard the sound and glanced back subconsciously. Alexander was running staggeringly towards the high stool. As soon as Snape's hands came down, the word "Gryffindor" came out neatly.

It rang.

"To be honest, it would be more comfortable without so much nonsense!"

Seeing Alexander looking this way, Enns turned around decisively and scratched his scalp in dissatisfaction.
