The thousands of faces watching them were like pale little lanterns in the shining candlelight.

The ghosts scattered among the students turned the originally blurry silverware into sparkle. In order to avoid the eyes of the audience, Harry looked up and happened to see the beautiful velvety black ceiling dotted with stars. She heard Hermione speaking.

She whispered in her ear: "Someone once cast a spell on it to make it look more like the starry sky outside. I learned this in "Hogwarts: A School History"."

If only I could use this magic on the top of my ceiling. I don't want to see those spiders crawling around anymore. Harley thought.

Professor McGonagall brought a four-corner stool and placed a white pointed hat on it. In full view of everyone, the middle part of the hat that looked like a human face reluctantly opened its mouth: "Originally, I wanted to

I sing a song, but I’m in a bad mood.”

"Freshmen! Come here! Take me with you! I will tell you which college you should go to!" it shouted.

Professor McGonagall held a long roll of parchment in her hand. She said: "When I read your name, please put on this hat and sit down to wait for its distribution."

She shouted: "Hannah Abbott!"

A little girl with a pink face and blond hair walked out of the team. After putting on a hat that was so big that it even covered her eyes, she sat down quietly. After a while, - "Hufflepuff!"

Hat yelled.

The Hufflepuff students were sitting on the far right. When Hannah came down and sat with them, they all clapped and cheered. There was even a fat ghost among them waving to her.

Professor McGonagall continued to read the names, and the students of which house the students were assigned to began to applaud. Ron became more and more nervous, because there were not many people left who had not been assigned, Hermione and Malfoy both went up. Hermione

Min went to Gryffindor, and Malfoy seemed to have forgotten what happened on the train. He was assigned to Slytherin with a proud face.

Harry was not nervous. Professor Snape, who led her away from Dudley's house, was watching her from behind. Professor Snape also revealed something about the sorting ceremony to her. She just waited silently for her name to be called.

Professor McGonagall shouted.

"--Harry Potter!"

This name made the auditorium silent for a moment, and then loud voices broke out, like a pot boiling. People talked a lot.

"Is this the Potter I think of?"

"Is that Harry Potter?"

"Oh my God! She is so beautiful! And that dress, I want to buy one too!"

"You probably can't afford it, man. That dress looks custom-made!"

Harley thought she was ready, but in fact she was not. It was inevitable to be a little nervous at this time. She stroked the small snake on her right wrist, walked to the hat expressionlessly, and put it on

, and then sat down.

"You..." The voice of that hat echoed in her mind.

"Girl, you're talented... you're also thirsty for knowledge. You're even brave - and you want to prove your worth? Oh, this is where things get interesting. You can go to four academies."

Harley asked in her mind: "So, where do you think I should go?"

The Sorting Hat was silent for a while, and then said: "You don't seem to be panicking at all... Then -" it shouted to the crowd: "-Slytherin!"

Snape shook his fist vigorously, but he soon coughed again and returned to his upright posture.

Harry walked towards the Slytherin table. The students in green robes all looked crazy with joy, but when Harry walked over expressionlessly, they all bowed their heads in greeting. Little did they know that what was going on in her mind was

Chaos: Why are they bowing to me?!

Draco Malfoy no longer looked so arrogant. He looked as if he wanted to hide under the table. Harry noticed him. She came over to sit with him specially. Malfoy tried his best to show that he didn't want to hide under the table.

I'm not afraid of your appearance.

But he didn't even dare to look at Harry sideways, he just looked down at his plate.

The sorting ceremony ended in a few minutes. Ron, Hermione, and Neville all went to Gryffindor. Harry was alone in Slytherin.

A tall old man with white hair and beard stood up from the teacher's chair. He cleared his throat. Harry noticed that he was Dumbledore, the "greatest white wizard in the world" printed on the collection card, and also Huo Huo.

The principal of Gwarts. He said in a loud voice: "Welcome! Welcome to Hogwarts. This is a new school year and a new beginning for Hogwarts! Because this year, we will adopt an unprecedented, brand-new

Teaching methods! You will learn the true secrets of magic!"

"Now, please allow me to take a moment. I want to announce something."

He added: "Due to changes in teaching methods, the new students are in charge of Professor He Shenyan next to me. I believe many people have seen him in the newspaper. And all students from the second grade onwards, please pay attention

Notice board in your common room, I must remind you that there have been some slight changes to the curriculum."

He sat down. The young man on his right stood up and nodded to everyone. Harley noticed that many female students let out low exclamations when he stood up, and she herself was a little surprised.

This man is handsome beyond imagination. But more than that face, what makes him more attractive is his temperament. It is like a whirlpool, and just looking at him makes people want to get addicted to it.

The man coughed lightly and then said, "I don't want to delay everyone's eating time. Some of you may be hungry already."

His little joke made the students burst into low laughter.

"Just like Professor Dumbledore said, freshmen please arrive at the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom on the fourth floor before nine-thirty tomorrow morning to prepare for class. That's it."

Harry heard someone at the Slytherin table discussing quietly.

After Professor He finished speaking, he sat down. Dumbledore sat in his seat and smiled and waved his arms downward. Countless delicious foods suddenly appeared on those empty plates. Everything was included.

Harley's eyes lit up when she saw the vanilla ice cream, but she also saw those roast chickens, steaks and rows of sausages. It was always very difficult to choose, especially when she had never eaten these before.

Choosing between foods is even more difficult.

After the dinner, Harley realized that she might have eaten too much—actually, that was not possible.

She ate three pieces of vanilla ice cream, two pieces of steak, a big ball of mashed potatoes, and even half a fish. Malfoy, who was sitting next to her, didn't eat much. He looked at Harry with trepidation and expressionless expression the whole time.

She quickly destroyed the food, and the way she waved the knife and fork may have seemed to Malfoy as if she was waving it on herself. This look on his face made Harry roll her eyes at him.

Dumbledore stood up again and said, "Since everyone has eaten and drank enough, I will say a few more words. I hope you won't find me annoying this old man."

"I believe everyone has noticed that there is no dress code this year. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether you wear a robe or a jacket. But there are a few rules that still exist. For example, students are strictly prohibited from entering the forbidden forest on the playground.

Please keep this in mind.”

"At the same time, the administrator, Mr. Filch, would like me to remind everyone not to cast spells in the corridors between classes, and to prohibit night walks."

"The original courses and exams for senior students will no longer be held. As for why, you should be able to understand after finishing Professor He's class tomorrow. I'm done. Thank you for your patience in listening to what I have to say."

On the long table of Gryffindor, two red-haired boys wailed: "No! Principal! It's time to sing the school song this year!"

Dumbledore laughed and said happily: "If you want, you can stay and sing by yourself. I will start it for you and choose a tune you like! But I'm afraid I have something to do and I have to leave first."

After speaking, he waved his hand, a piece of music appeared, the two boys began to sing, and then everyone began to sing along. During this chaotic chorus, Dumbledore left the auditorium.
