Andy and the others followed Professor McGonagall through the foyer and arrived at a spacious auditorium.

Dennis Creevey, who was rescued by Andy, found his brother, Colin Creevey, on the Gryffindor table.

He excitedly showed off to Colin that he fell into the lake, and pointed at Andy's back, indicating that Andy saved him.

The magically mapped ceiling takes on the shape of a starry sky, as if there were no dome.

There were countless candlesticks floating in the air, illuminating the four long tables placed in the auditorium.

Students from each college occupied a long table, which was already full. The only space left at the end of the long table was for this year's freshmen.

Directly opposite the auditorium are the seats of professors.

The professors lined up horizontally, sitting across the long table, facing the freshmen who walked in.

Based on his impression, Andy recognized several professors with obvious features.

The man with black hair, greasy as if it had never been washed, and an expressionless face was the Potions Professor Snape.

Next to him was Professor Flitwick, the short man who was rumored to have elf blood and the headmaster of Ravenclaw House.

Of course, there was also Transfiguration professor McGonagall who led them in, and Dumbledore sitting in the middle, wearing a white robe.

Between the professor's chair and the long table, there was a lone chair.

Professor McGonagall walked over and placed a tattered wizard's hat on the chair.

Suddenly a crack opened in the hat, which looked like its mouth, and it began to sing loudly.

This is the sorting ceremony at Hogwarts. Every new student needs to put on the sorting hat and decide which house he will go to.

Andy looked around and saw a figure on the long Ravenclaw table who kept waving and smiling at him.

Andy also smiled and waved to Qiu Zhang and followed Professor McGonagall forward.

At the same time, the sounds of people discussing around him floated in his ears.

"The guy standing in front is also a freshman? Why is he so tall?"

"I heard there will be a fifth-grade transfer student this year. Maybe it's him."

"Haha, look at him like that, he doesn't understand anything and he is still pretending to be calm. Seid, I dare say that if you two have a duel, you can defeat him with one hand.

Cedric, who was originally quiet, became angry and slapped the table:"Why do you people like to watch other people duel so much?"!

The student who was joking was startled by Cedric's reaction and looked at Cedric in surprise.

Cedric said bravely:"Uh, I mean, we have to take care of our classmates and don't think about fighting every now and then.""

""Quiet!" Professor McGonagall said to them, ending everyone's discussion.

Professor McGonagall took Andy and the others to the chairs and motioned them to line up in two rows and wait here:"I will read out the list in my hand later. When you hear your name, come forward."

"Andy Hall."

As soon as Andy's name appeared, the entire auditorium fell silent.

Everyone was looking at Andy curiously.

"Andy Hall? Is he the man the newspaper said he was? That fifth-grade transfer student?"

"Impossible, he doesn't look like he can defeat four dark wizards"

"……I don't know which house he will be sorted into."

Andy was unmoved, walked forward, and without Professor McGonagall's instructions, he sat on the chair skillfully and put the Sorting Hat on his head.

"Aha! Another new student."As soon as Andy put on the Sorting Hat, its voice rang in Andy's head,"Let me see.……"

Andy said directly in his mind:"Let's save some time, Ravenclaw, hurry up."

Andy had already thought about which college he would go to before coming.

That was Ravenclaw where Qiu Zhang was.

A careful analysis showed that there were four colleges in Hogwarts, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

Andy knew someone in each college.

First of all, Slytherin must not go.

Andy had just beaten Lucius Malfoy at the Quidditch World Cup final.

His son Draco Malfoy is now in Slytherin.

Andy is certainly not afraid of Malfoy, but as soon as he entered school, he didn't want to have any conflicts with Malfoy.

His primary goal is to spend these years quietly, at least graduate from Hogwarts.

All the expenses for his coming to Hogwarts were funded by the Zhang couple, and Andy didn't want to disappoint those who really care about him.

The same problem applies to Hufflepuff, and Cedric is in Hufflepuff.

If Andy doesn't want to embarrass both of them, it's better for him to have less intersection with Cedric.

As for Gryffindor, the original protagonist Harry Potter is in Gryffindor, and he will be a warrior in the Triwizard Tournament this year.

Under this premise, Andy still stayed close to Harry Potter, simply to find a rhythm for himself.

So in the end, his only option was Ravenclaw.

Being with Qiu Zhang, Andy was also more familiar.

Just when Andy thought that the Sorting Hat on his head was about to send him to Ravenclaw, he felt the Sorting Hat stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise:"What? Why are you so direct, kid?"

"Do you think I can directly decide which college each student should go to?"

"?"Andy asked back,"Isn't it? According to the process, you will ask me a few questions, and then decide which college I should be assigned to based on my answers."

"Now I tell you my intention directly, isn't it better?"

The Sorting Hat was stunned by Andy's shock. After a long time, it said:"That seems to be correct... No!"

"Listen, I'm not that kind of magic tool without dignity, I have my own standards!"

"I don’t want what you think, I want what I feel!

Andy was speechless:"Okay, then what are your standards?""

"Let me guess, courageous students go to Gryffindor, ambitious ones go to Slytherin."

"Pursuit of knowledge, Ravenclaw, honesty and trustworthiness, Hufflepuff?"

"But these traits are shared by everyone, so it ultimately comes down to the wizard’s own opinion, right?"

"?"The Sorting Hat asked angrily,"How do you know so much?"

"I have served Hogwarts for a thousand years, and this is the first time I have encountered a student as arrogant as you! Even Gryffindor himself treated me with respect!

Andy spread his hands:"You just say what I said is right?""

The Sorting Hat held it back for a long time before admitting:"……right.

Andy continued:"Then don't you know that almost all of this information has been revealed for thousands of years?""

"With all due respect, your method of sorting into different schools has no surprises."

"If you don't believe me, you can look at the students behind me. Except for those who are new to magic, who doesn't know the criteria for sorting?"
