The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

Loren and Hermione looked at the graduate in surprise, but couldn't help but feel curious about the Sorting Ceremony of Ilvermorny. They looked at the four towering statues and followed Nancy Boot's instructions to walk towards the circular platform.

The Horned Serpent statue in front of them was located in front of them. The slightly scary snake head opened its mouth and spit out its tongue. The gemstones on its forehead and eyes emitted a soft glow, revealing a calm and gentle feeling.

According to the book, the Horned Serpent Academy is keen to accept students who love reading and thinking, which is equivalent to Ravenclaw in Hogwarts, advocating wisdom...

Hermione flashed these information in her mind, and when she stood on the circular platform, she felt very subtle in her heart.

"Sizzle!"

It was not the horned water snake that responded to her, but the thunderbird statue on the right. With the subtle sound of electricity, a faint but obvious crystal blue electric light flowed through, and the solid wood carved thunderbird vibrated its wings, faintly hearing the brewing storm and thunder

Nancy, who was standing under the platform, explained at the right time: "The thunderbird prefers those students who advocate adventure and can bravely step into the unknown. The flapping of wings means that it likes you very much."

Hermione pursed her lips. In fact, she was more inclined to the horned water snake.

Loren was not surprised. He felt that Ilvermorny was worthy of being a school that had been passed down for hundreds of years. There was something. The purpose of Thunderbird Academy not only included the courage of Gryffindor, but also mixed with some ambitions of Slytherin, or lofty aspirations, which was very suitable for the little witch.

Then Hermione turned around and gave up her position. When she walked down the round platform, she heard Loren muttering in a low voice: "The sorting ceremony of Ilvermorny is quite accurate."

Hermione: "..."

Loren stood in the middle of the huge Gordian knot and looked at the four statues with interest.

Right in front of us is the horned water snake. Unlike the notorious cockatoos and basilisks, the horned water snake is notoriously weak and easy to bully. Because all the materials in its body can be used to make potions and wands, it was captured and endangered several centuries ago. In its native Western Europe and the Far East, the horned water snake is still a rare animal.

Some people speculate that the horned water snakes in the Americas were brought here by immigrants. Without natural enemies and potion makers to hunt them, they gradually multiplied. Some experts also believe that this is because the horned water snake has mutated. They gave up the poison in exchange for the gem on their foreheads. It is said that the gem has the ability to be invisible and fly. Very few water snakes also have the talent to predict disasters.

The founder, Isolt Searle, once made a wand with the horn of a horned water snake under the guidance of its horn and gave it to his adopted son Chawick Nancy. This wand eventually issued a warning when Gormlaith Gaunt attacked, buying them time in that duel.

Thunderbirds, a magical animal, live in North America and are related to the Phoenix. They have also left their mark in Muggle history and legends. The most recent legendary event was in 1926, when Newt controlled Thunderbirds to attack the entire New York City.

There is no legendary story about Thunderbird Academy, but one of the founder's adopted sons liked this creature, Chawick Nancy, who held the long-horned water snake wand core. He founded Thunderbird Academy.

The cat-leopard looks like a jaguar, but has six legs. It lives in the Appalachian Mountains. Its head is like a rabbit in childhood. When it grows up, it can walk upright and run faster than a bow and arrow. Its eyes have the ability of hypnosis and legilimency.

There is no legendary story about the cat-leopard Academy either. It is an animal that another of the founders likes.

Pukki has a deep connection with Ilvermorny.

Pukki is not a magical animal. It is a sub-human species and a distant relative of the goblins. The International Confederation of Wizards once intended to classify them as humans. They are short, gray-skinned, have long ears, and can use powerful magic.

When Isolt Searle was young, he saved a Pukki from the Hidden Monster. This was William recorded in the school history. In order to repay his gratitude, he stayed in Ilvermorny. The story behind this is well known. He helped the founder to overcome the various hardships in the early days and helped the school to operate and develop...

The four colleges represent wisdom, body, heart, and soul respectively.

Loren came back to his senses, lowered his eyes calmly, and waited quietly for the start of the sorting ceremony. A ray of crystal blue light flashed, capturing the subtle magic power that swept across his body.

He had a vague understanding in his heart that Ilvermorny did not have a sorting hat that could read thoughts, so it used the method of detecting magic power instead.

Everyone has a different personality, which produces different emotions. Some scholars believe that emotions are the means by which the soul regulates magic power, which can shape and change magic power, so Ilvermorny detects magic power to judge personality and then sorts.

Since this theory is still in the theoretical stage, Loren speculated that this way of sorting may not be so reliable.

After about a few seconds, he heard movement from the college statue above.

First, the gem embedded in the forehead of the horned water snake shone brightly, and then the thunderbird flapped its wings. The six-legged cat-leopard leaned forward slightly and uttered a death cry. The gray-armored Pukki drew his bow and drew his arrow.

The four college statues responded to the students in time.

Loren and Hermione had read about this in books, but they were still a little surprised to see it happen in front of their own eyes.

"This situation rarely happens. If more than one college statue expresses its willingness to recruit students, then the choice falls on the students themselves."

Nancy seemed to find it very interesting and turned to look at Pickley next to her: "The last time this happened, it was Pickley's grandmother. By the way, Pickley's name inherited the surname of Ms. Seraphina Picquery."

"You already know about the Horned Water Snake College and Thunderbird College. The Cat-Leopard College pursues a spirit of not taking and a strong body, and the Pukki College advocates becoming a doctor who saves others." Pickley Graves leaned against the wall, not caring about Nancy's words, with a smile on his face: "How about it, Loren, which college do you want to choose?"

"I think there are loopholes in this division method. If you meet a problem student with difficulty in choosing, your school's professors will be busy." Loren shook his head and turned to walk down the round platform.

Nancy and Pickley didn't seem to have thought about this problem. They looked at each other and showed a thoughtful expression.

"If there were such a psychological barrier, the four colleges would not respond at the same time..."

A steady and rough voice suddenly came from the circular terrace above, followed by a series of footsteps, and several familiar figures walked out of the terrace. Headmaster Dumbledore was smiling, and Gilbert Fontana of Ilvermorny was also smiling. He chuckled:

"Really not choosing a college, Mr. Morgan? And Miss Granger, Ilvermorny is an open-minded school that accepts transfer students from outside."
