Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Yeti pulled the carriage carrying Xiang Nan and others around the outer wall of Hogwarts and finally arrived at the school gate of Hogwarts.

It was a magnificent cast iron gate with many stone pillars on both sides and decorated with winged wild boar statues on the top.

Because the name Hogwarts comes from the wart hog. Legend has it that the reason why Hogwarts was located here was because Rowena Ravenclaw was guided by a wart hog in her dream and came to the cliff by the lake.

In ancient Greek mythology, Chrysaor, the giant son of Poseidon and Medusa, the holder of the golden sword, was a winged wart hog.

Legend has it that he and the water nymph Callilohe gave birth to the giant Geryon and the snake girl Echidna. Echidna and the giant Typhon gave birth to monsters such as Chimaera, Hydra, Sphinx, Harpy, Nemean Lion, Three-Headed Dog of the Underworld, and Colchis Dragon, so Chrysaor was also called "the ancestor of monsters".

The carriage stopped in front of the castle, and everyone got off the car, walked up the steps, passed through the huge oak door, and passed through the deep vestibule to the school's auditorium.

The auditorium was still so magnificent, and it was decorated for the new semester banquet. Hundreds of candles floated in the air above the table, illuminating the golden plates and goblets.

Everyone sat down at the long table of their own college, waiting for the freshmen's sorting ceremony.

"When will the sorting start? I'm starving. I can eat a cow." Joey Farrell said, holding his stomach.

"Don't worry, you can have a big meal after the sorting is over." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the hall was opened, and Professor McGonagall led a group of freshmen in, and then the sorting ceremony officially began.

According to convention, the sorting hat first sang a new song, introduced its origin, and how to assign the colleges.

Gryffindor focuses on courage, Ravenclaw focuses on wisdom, Slytherin focuses on ambition, and Hufflepuff focuses on honesty. It will assign the student to a suitable college according to his characteristics.

Of course, if none of them are suitable, they will be assigned to Hufflepuff, because it is the most tolerant college. Even if there are no strengths, it is willing to take them in.

"This song is not the one it sang when it sorted us last time." Gregory applauded with everyone and said.

"The song it sings every year is different." Benjamin smiled, "As a hat, its life must be quite monotonous, right? I guess it took a whole year to come up with the next song."

Then the sorting ceremony officially began.

Xiang Nan didn't pay attention to this matter, because he was eavesdropping on the students' conversation. Everyone was talking about the "mysterious wizard", and they were all uneasy and frightened.

In their opinion, this so-called "mysterious wizard" is much more terrifying than Voldemort.

Because Voldemort's horror is in the open, he is nothing more than advocating "pure blood supremacy", discriminating against, attacking, and slaughtering Muggle wizards.

But the horror of the "mysterious wizard" is in the dark. No one knows who he is, no one knows what he wants to do, why he absorbs the magic power of wizards, and how he does it...

The more unknown, the more terrifying, and naturally everyone is in danger.

"I don't know who he is."

"I don't know if he will come to Hogwarts."

"My parents don't want me to report to school~"

The students talked about it, especially those who live in the wizard world and are more informed. They all have a face full of hidden worries.

Wizards like Joey Farrell and Benjamin Winslet, who live in the Muggle world, didn't know about this at all, so they were much better off.

...

Soon the Sorting Ceremony ended, and Professor McGonagall took away the Sorting Hat and the four-legged stool.

Headmaster Dumbledore stood up and said, "Welcome!" The light of the candles made his beard sparkle, "Welcome to Hogwarts in the new school year!

We also welcome a new professor to join our team. He is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher-Tim Brown, welcome everyone!"

A male wizard in his fifties with an ordinary appearance stood up.

The classmates applauded.

Last year, Austin Amelio, the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts, was bitten by a blood poison jellyfish when he traveled to France, and he had to rest for at least half a year.

However, Xiang Nan believed that after his injury healed, he might not dare to take this position again. After all, it was rumored that this position was cursed by Voldemort, and no teacher could teach for a whole year.

Although this curse may not be true, in fact, in the past few decades, teachers who have served as teachers of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts have often had accidents and have not taught for more than a year.

So everyone would rather believe it than not believe it.

"Also, first-year students, please note that students are not allowed to enter the woods on campus. Some of our old classmates should also remember this." Dumbledore said, "In addition, the administrator Mr. Filch also asked me to remind everyone not to perform magic in the corridor during class breaks.

The review of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of this semester. Students who are in the second year or above and are interested in joining the college team, please contact Madam Hooch.

Okay, I'm done, let's eat~"

As he said that, he waved his hand, and the originally empty long table was suddenly covered with various delicious dishes.

"Finally, we can eat." Joey cheered, immediately grabbed a chicken leg, and ate it up voraciously.

The classmates also followed suit and ate heartily.

…

"You can participate in the Quidditch team selection in the second grade. I must try and strive to join the Quidditch team." Benjamin said excitedly.

Although he lives in the Muggle world, he didn't even know there was magic before entering Hogwarts last year, but he fell in love with Quidditch as soon as he saw it and was crazy about it.

"I'll go with you. I also want to join the team." Gregory also said with hope, "Sever, do you want to go with me?"

"I won't go. You go and have fun. I will cheer for you." Xiang Nan heard it and waved his hand and smiled.

Joining the Quidditch team is not as simple as playing two games. The key is to continue training so that you can hone your flying ability and cultivate tacit understanding with the team members.

But this will take a lot of time, and Xiang Nan is worried that he doesn't have enough time. Because he has to read all the books in the library this year, and try to become an Animagus. Time is still very tight, so how can he have time to participate in Quidditch games.

"That's a shame, you fly so well." Seeing him say that, Gregory and Benjamin both felt sorry.

Because Xiang Nan was the best flyer among the first-year students, not inferior to those Quidditch players at all. But he himself didn't want to go, and no one could do anything about it.
