Hogwarts Card Drawer

"Whoever I call by name now puts on a hat, sits on a stool, and waits for sorting," said Professor McGonagall. "Hannah Abbott!"

A rosy-cheeked little girl with two blond braids staggered out of the queue and put on her hat, which just covered her eyes. She sat down. There was a pause - "Hufflepuff!" the hat called.

The table on the right applauds Hannah and welcomes her to their table. But Kunmus even waved to her happily when he saw a fat monk ghost.

"Susan Burns!"

Hufflepuff!" cried the Hat again, and Susan hurried to sit down beside Hannah.

"Terry Boot!" "Ravenclaw!"

This time the second table on the left clapped their hands. When Terry joined them, several Ravenclaws stood up to shake his hand.

Then Professor McGonagall called the names of more than a dozen freshmen, and Chronos yawned as he waited.

"Hermione Granger!"

Hearing the name, Kronos became a little interested, and stood on tiptoes and stretched his neck to look forward. It's a pity that the distance was too far, and he could only see an almost blurred outline.

"Gryffindor!" shouted the hat.

"Hurry up, it's almost time for me." Kronos thought to himself.

Finally, it was Kronos' turn when Malfoy walked to the Slytherin table in a big way!

"Chronos Slughorn." Professor McGonagall called.

Kronos trotted for a while, but he had no choice but to stand a little behind.

Professor McGonagall grabbed the hat and placed it gently on Kronos' head after Kronos sat down.

Just as the hat was about to cover his sight, a voice rang in Chronos' ear.

"Oh, a funny kid. Very bright and ambitious!"

"How much are you going to assign me to Gryffin?" Kronos asked in his heart!

"Oh no no no. My boy, believe me you don't have the qualities of a Gryffindor."

When Kronos heard this, he thought to himself, are you saying that I am not reckless enough?

"Well, trust me. Slytherins are where you belong."

"Slytherin!" The Sorting Hat shouted before Kronos could react!

There was a burst of applause from the students sitting at the Slytherin table! There is no way that Chronos's appearance gives people the feeling of a pure-blood wizard.

Fitted wizard robes, platinum curly hair, and a pair of star-like eyes.

Chronos sat next to Draco Malfoy!

"Harry Potter!" cried Professor McGonagall.

As soon as the name was pronounced, Chronos heard a sudden humming and whispering like the hiss of a small flame in the dining room.

"Potter, is she calling Potter?"' "That Harry Potter?"

This pissed off our young master Draco Malfoy.

Unsurprisingly, Harry Potter was also assigned to Gryffindor.

Albus Dumbledore, who was seated in the middle of the teacher's chair, rose to his feet. He looked at the students with a smile on his face, and stretched out his arms to them. Nothing seemed to make him happier than seeing the students gathered together. "Welcome!" he said. "Welcome to Hogwarts to start a new school year! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. That is: Idiot! Sniff! Scum! Twist! Thank you all!"

Then the plates in front of Kronos were full of food. Roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, boiled potatoes, roast potatoes, crisps, Yorkshire puddings, pea shoots, carrots, gravy, tomato sauce, and for some odd reason, there was Peppermint hard candy.

"It looks really good!"

This sentence made Chronos tremble in fright, because Draco Malfoy next to him didn't speak.

Kronos looked aside, and saw a ghost sitting by the table, very terrible, with dull eyes, haggard, and silver blood stains on his robes.

This is probably the ghost of Slytherin (the bloody Baron).

Chronos smiled back at him, then lowered his head and concentrated on destroying the food in front of him.

After everyone had opened their bellies and filled their stomachs, the rest of the food disappeared from the plates in one go. The plates and forks are as clean as ever. After a while, the pudding came up. All kinds of desserts are out!

Finally, the pudding disappeared too, and Professor Dumbledore stood up again. The restaurant also returned to silence. "Oh, now that everyone is full of food and drink, I want to say a few more words to you. At the beginning of the semester, I would like to give you a few points for attention." "Attention first-year students, the campus Students are not allowed to enter the woods. Some of our classmates in the old class should also remember this well."

"Also, Mr. Filch, the administrator, asked me to remind everyone not to do magic in the corridors between classes.

"The review of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of this term. Anyone who is interested in participating in the house team should contact Mrs. Hooch.

"Finally, I must tell everyone that those who do not want to encounter accidents and die in pain, please do not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor."

Of course Chronos knew what was there, it was a novice task that Dumbledore had left for Harry! Chronos once suspected that Dumbledore had a habit! Just because of that weird prophecy?

While Kronos's thoughts drifted away, Dumbledore also led the few students who were willing to open their mouths to finish singing the school song.

"It's bedtime now. Everyone go back to the dormitory."

A senior student sitting at the other end of the long table stood up, turned around and said, "Follow me!"

Under the leadership of the Slytherin prefect, Chronos and other freshmen wandered around the unpredictable stairs in the castle!

After a while they came to the entrance to the Slytherin common room. Stone door hidden in a wet stone wall in the basement.

"The password is changed every two weeks. This time the password is Snake Letter." The prefect in front said.

Entering the common room, Kronos began to look around. The common room is a translucent lounge located at the bottom of the lake (Black Lake). The walls are made of black Gothic marble, and the ceiling is a transparent semicircle carved with crystals. You can see the sparkling light overhead. Green lights were chained to the ceiling. There is a fireplace with a beautifully carved mantel, and some carved chairs beside it. Often some giant octopuses or strange creatures can be seen through the windows.

Your luggage has been delivered to your respective lounges. The next thing I want to talk about is the prefect speech from Slytherin.
