Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"Thank you." Lily took the chocolate frog with a smile, and did not show much surprise at Xiang Nan's volley.

In her opinion, Xiang Nan was already very powerful, and she had seen similar scenes many times.

"Wow, how did you do it?" James Potter and Sirius Black were surprised after seeing it.

They were born in wizard families, and they knew much more about the common sense of the wizarding world than Lily. They knew very well how difficult it was to cast spells silently and without a wand.

Not to mention that Xiang Nan had not yet entered Hogwarts, even seventh-year graduates might not be able to master these two high-level spellcasting techniques. Therefore, as a first-year student, Xiang Nan could do this, which was really incredible and terrifying.

"I did it after trying a few more times." Xiang Nan smiled slightly.

James and Sirius were immediately amused and cried when they heard it.

Silent casting, wandless casting, such high-level spellcasting skills, how could they be done in a few tries.

"Hey, the images inside move." At this time, Lily was surprised again.

"It's normal. Each chocolate frog has a wizard card that introduces the deeds and contributions of famous wizards in the magic world. There are more than 500 different characters in total.

Therefore, in the magic world, many people like to collect chocolate frog cards, but very few can collect them all. Being on a chocolate frog card is also the dream of many wizards." Xiang Nan explained with a smile, and took a look. "Ah, it's Rowena Ravenclaw's card.

She is the founder of the Ravenclaw branch of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and was once known as the smartest witch. Legend has it that Hogwarts Castle was selected and built by her. ”

“So amazing.” Lily exclaimed, and then worriedly said, “I wonder which house I can be assigned to?”

“Gryffindor emphasizes bravery and adventure; Ravenclaw emphasizes wisdom and foresight; Slytherin emphasizes honor and ideals; Hufflepuff emphasizes integrity and loyalty.” Xiang Nan laughed again, “Each house has different requirements for students and will select students suitable for its own house. But no matter which house you are assigned to, you will take the same classes, and there is no essential difference.”

“Then how to sort, do you need to take a test, a written test, an oral test, or a test of spells?” Lily asked again with concern.

“It’s not that troublesome, just rely on a hat to sort.” Xiang Nan explained.

“Hat?” Lily asked puzzled.

Even James Potter and Sirius Black looked at Xiang Nan curiously, because they didn’t know how the sorting ceremony was done.

Before this, they asked their elders countless times, but no one was willing to tell them the truth, and even deliberately scared them.

They said they had to fight with trolls, or go to the dragon's lair for adventure, or go through layers of traps. If they failed, they would drop out of school directly, and they might even die. For example, they would be beaten by trolls, eaten by dragons, or fall into traps and die.

This practice of scaring freshmen has become a tradition in the wizarding world. Every child who is about to enter school will be scared to death, but adults still enjoy it.

"Yes, that hat is called the 'Sorting Hat', which is a relic of Godric Gryffindor, the founder of Gryffindor College.

The four founders of Hogwarts cast a spell such as Legilimency on the hat, allowing it to read the truest thoughts in a person's heart, judge a person's characteristics, and decide which college to assign them to." Xiang Nan explained, "So when the time comes, just put the hat on your head, and you will be accurately assigned to the college that suits you."

"So that's it. Damn, I thought we really had to form a team to go to the dragon's lair for adventure." Sirius Black said angrily.

"I heard from my father that we are going to fight with mountain monsters." James Potter also said angrily, and now he knew that it was all bluffing.

...

"Severus, which college do you want to go to?" Lily asked with concern.

"Actually, you can go to any one, because the classes are the same, there is no difference." Xiang Nan smiled, "But if possible, I would rather go to Ravenclaw. Because Ravenclaw's common room is at the top of the tower, you can overlook the mountains and the river, and the scenery is the most beautiful."

"What about the common rooms of the other three colleges?" Lily asked curiously.

"Gryffindor's common room is also in the tower, but it is slightly lower than Ravenclaw, and the view is also very good. There is a big fireplace in the middle of the common room, and there are comfortable velvet sofas around the fireplace.

The common rooms of Hufflepuff and Slytherin are both in the basement. Hufflepuff is next to the kitchen of Hogwarts, so you can often smell the aroma of food.

And Slytherin's common room is under the Black Lake, so you can see the underwater world through the window." Xiang Nan explained one by one.

After hearing his answer, not only Lily Evans, but also James Potter and Sirius Black were fascinated.

Because of the four major branches of Hogwarts, except for the students of the Hogwarts, students from other colleges can hardly enter. James Potter's family has been students of Gryffindor for generations, and Sirius Black's family has been students of Slytherin for generations.

So although they were born in wizard families, they did not know the difference between the public lounges of each college, and were not as well-informed as Xiang Nan.

"It sounds like Gryffindor and Ravenclaw are both good." Lily nodded, "If you go to Ravenclaw, then I'll go to Ravenclaw too."

"The sorting hat is sorted by name, so you will be in front of me." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "You will be assigned first, and then it will be my turn."

Lily Evans's first letter is E, and if sorted alphabetically, she is at the front. And Severus Snape's first letter is S, and he is at the back.

"So that's how it is." Lily nodded and said regretfully, "It would be great if we could be sorted together."

"I hope so. But even if we are separated, it doesn't matter, just the lounge is different. We can still study, eat, and play together." Xiang Nan smiled.

Lily smiled and nodded.

...

In the subsequent journey, Xiang Nan talked to Lily about the Forbidden Forest and introduced the magical creatures in it, such as centaurs, werewolves, mountain trolls, thestrals, unicorns, eight-eyed spiders, etc.

"It's very dangerous. Don't get close to it. Otherwise, you will violate the school rules. You will be put in detention at the least, and you may be expelled directly at the worst." Xiang Nan explained.

Not only Lily, but also James and Sirius listened with great interest.

"Severus, you know a lot." Lily said admiringly.

"My mother told me all this." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "Okay, let's change into school uniforms. We will arrive at Hogwarts in a while."

As he said that, he waved his hand, and the Muggle clothes he was originally wearing were immediately changed into Hogwarts school uniforms.
