Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "The opening feast is about to begin, but before you go to the restaurant, you must first determine which college you will be attending.

Sorting is a very important ceremony, because during your time at school, the college is like your home in Hogwarts. You will attend classes with other students in the college, live in the college dormitory together, and spend your spare time in the college's common room together.

The names of the four colleges are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each college has Their glorious history has cultivated outstanding wizards and witches.

During your time at Hogwarts, your outstanding performance will earn extra points for your house, while any violation will deduct points from your house.

At the end of the year, the house with the highest score will receive the house cup, which is a great honor. I hope that no matter which house you are assigned to, you can bring honor to your house.

In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of all the teachers and students of the school. I suggest that you tidy yourself up and be more energetic while waiting. "Professor McGonagall cleared her throat and introduced the freshmen.

For a while, most of the freshmen became nervous.

Because before they came, they were fooled by their families and thought that the sorting ceremony of Hogwarts was very dangerous and challenging. They might fail, be expelled from school, or even lose their lives.

Even Lily, James and Sirius were a little nervous, and they were also worried that they did not meet the requirements of the sorting hat and might be rejected by the school.

Only Xiang Nan was very calm and composed.

…

"I'll pick you up when it's ready," said Professor McGonagall. "Please keep quiet while you wait."

After that, she left.

The students began to talk about it, worried about the next sorting ceremony.

"My dad said that we have to go through the passage guarded by the fire dragon."

"My mom said that we have to fight the troll with our bare hands."

"My sister said that we need to cast at least five spells."

They whispered to each other, each with a look of anxiety on their faces.

Just then, someone suddenly screamed, and everyone was in chaos.

It turned out that a balloon filled with water fell from the top of the hall, hitting a poor freshman into a drowned chicken, and even the people around him were affected.

Following that, the second water bomb fell again... and almost hit someone again. Fortunately, the person dodged in time, but the water balloon still exploded.

The cold water sprayed out, pouring on the shoes of the freshmen, soaking their socks. The people around screamed and pushed each other, all wanting to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

Xiang Nan looked up and saw a short monster floating twenty feet above their heads. It was wearing a bright orange party hat, a spinning bow tie, and a wide, evil-looking face with a grin on its face.

"What is that?" Lily asked in surprise.

"It's Peeves, a mischievous spirit." Xiang Nan explained.

"First-year kid, try my water bomb again." Peeves giggled and threw another bomb at the freshman.

"The water ball disappears!" Xiang Nan waved his wand, and the water ball immediately disappeared without a trace.

Peeves was stunned, with a look of astonishment on his face, but he immediately took out the water ball and wanted to throw it at the freshman again.

"Lock the tongue and throat! Peeves expel!" Xiang Nan waved his wand twice, and Peeves grabbed his throat and was expelled far away from the gate.

During this process, it still refused to give up and continued to make obscene gestures, but it couldn't speak at all because its tongue was stuck to its forehead.

"Dry quickly~" Xiang Nan waved his wand a few more times, and the freshman who had just been drenched by Peeves immediately steamed a cloud of water vapor on his body, and his clothes were all dry.

There were also several people who were implicated and had their shoes and trousers wet, and they all returned to a dry and refreshing state.

"Wow, so amazing~", "Too amazing~", "Who is he?"

The classmates applauded and admired everything Xiang Nan did.

...

At this moment, they heard a light cough, and the classmates immediately fell silent and looked at Professor McGonagall who had returned.

"Excellent." She looked at Xiang Nan and praised with a smile, "What's your name?"

"Severus Snape, Professor." Xiang Nan bowed slightly and said respectfully.

"Mr. Snape, I hope you can be assigned to my Gryffindor House." Professor McGonagall said with a smile.

The vanishing spell, expulsion spell, and tongue-locking spell that Xiang Nan had just cast were all relatively advanced spells that could only be learned in the fourth or fifth grade, and not everyone could learn them.

Xiang Nan had not yet entered school, but he had already learned such advanced spells, and he could use them so skillfully and exquisitely, which showed that he was really talented.

"Thank you, professor, I'll try my best." Xiang Nan nodded.

Seeing this, the freshmen looked at Xiang Nan with envy. They wished that it was them who had just shown their skills, so that they would not have to worry about the sorting.

"Okay, everyone line up in a single file and follow me." Professor McGonagall said again, leading the freshmen out of the room, through the entrance hall, and through a double door at the back to enter the luxurious restaurant.

"Wow~" Many students exclaimed, especially Lily behind Xiang Nan, whose eyes were wide open.

She had never seen such a magical, wonderful and majestic place. There were four ridiculously long tables in the dining room, set with gleaming gold plates and goblets.

Thousands of candles floated in the air above the table, illuminating the entire restaurant with splendor and brilliance.

On the ceiling above the candles, one could actually see the starry, dazzling night sky, which was even clearer than outside. "Severus, is this restaurant open-air? Why can we see it even though we are standing in the room?" To the sky outside?”

"That's because the ceiling is enchanted, so it looks like the sky outside." Xiang Nan explained quietly.

Lily nodded suddenly.

…

The freshmen walked through the dining hall. At this time, students from other grades were already seated on both sides of the dining table, looking at the freshmen curiously.

The freshmen came to the top of the dining hall. There was another long table on the table there, which was the seat of the teachers. It was already filled with the school's faculty and staff, and Albus Dumbledore was sitting in the center.

Professor McGonagall gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first-year students, and placed a pointed wizard's hat on the stool. The hat was patched, worn, and dirty.

"Is this the Sorting Hat?" Lily said in surprise.

Xiang Nan nodded.

James Potter and Sirius Black both breathed a sigh of relief.

They were a little worried that Xiang Nan was also lying to them. But now it seems that what he said is true.
