The Magic Circle From The Harry Potter World

Chapter Ix The Sorting Ceremony

The half-hidden moon casts warm moonlight, and the black lake creates bursts of broken waves with the breeze. The spiky towers of Hogwarts Castle stand in the mountains, which itself carries a heavy sense of history and solemnity. Come.

At this time, Hedwig's Variations sounded again.

"Students, Hogwarts is here." Hagrid shouted.

The boat moved slowly, and soon it landed on a small rocky beach, and the little wizards got off the boat one after another.

Bai Hao looked up and saw a gravel road winding forward. At the end of the road was an upward stone ladder leading directly to the gate of the castle. There were a few street lamps that could jump around on the road to open the way for everyone.

Go all the way up to the outside of the castle, push open the heavy wooden door, enter the castle, and then climb a wide stone staircase, Professor McGonagall is standing at the end waiting for them.

"Freshman, Professor McGonagall." Hagrid stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Thank you, Hagrid." Professor McGonagall took over the leadership of the new students.

After handing over the first years to Professor McGonagall, Hagrid left, nodding and smiling at Harry before leaving.

Professor McGonagall stood on the steps, looked down at the freshmen, folded his hands, and said solemnly: "Welcome to Hogwarts, you will pass through this door behind me in a while, and the other students are Waiting for your arrival."

"However, before you are seated, the school will hold a sorting ceremony for you. There are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin respectively." Professor McGonagall squinted when talking about Slytherin He glanced at Malfoy, not knowing what to say.

"During the school period, this place is like your home. If you perform well, you will gain points for the academy. Otherwise, if you violate the school rules, you will lose points. At the end of the year, the academy with the highest score will win the academy cup."

"Then, please wait here for a while, the sorting ceremony will officially begin." After speaking, Professor McGonagall turned and left, preparing for the next important sorting ceremony.

"It seems that what they said on the train is true, Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." Seeing Professor McGonagall leave, the arrogant Malfoy started to make trouble.

"This is Crabbe, this is Goyle...."

Then it's like the original plot, Harry and Ron have a relationship with Della and then fall in love with each other... blah blah blah.

On the other hand, Bai Hao is not in the mood to watch the children bicker. What he is thinking about is which college he will go to later. He has already built the Great Wall of Thought and he can choose at will.

To Gryffindor? The main character is there, it's not interesting, and according to the main character's law, going to Gryffindor must be a lot of trouble, so don't go.

To Slytherin? A group of immature kids full of pure-blood ideas, the dormitory is still underground in the Black Lake, the environment is cold and humid, Bai is afraid that he will get rheumatism.

It seems good to go to La Wen Keluo. There is a dedicated library, which should be of great help to him in analyzing and creating magic, but it is a bit annoying to answer questions every time he goes back to the dormitory. Bai Hao is not good at playing brain teasers.

How about going to Hufflepuff? Close to the kitchen, there are a lot of house elves cooking for themselves, it seems not bad.

After much deliberation, Bai Hao decided to go to pull Wen Kelao. He can cook at any time, and the house elf will not refuse his request for a few more steps.

As for your quiz? What a big deal, can't you go through the gate and go through the window? It's not like he can't fly.

The above is Bai Hao's thought activities in just a few minutes.

"Bai Hao, which college do you think we will go to?" Just when he had just decided which college to go to, Bai Hao felt his clothes being ripped.

Hermione was actually standing behind Bai Hao the whole time. From the very beginning, she saw Bai Hao standing there silent and pretending to be deep, so she stepped forward and pulled Bai Hao's robe to talk to him, so as to relieve her nervousness. mood.

"Oh! It's Hermione, I was thinking about something and didn't notice you just now." Bai Hao scratched his head.

"Are you asking which house we'll go to? I guess you'll go to Gryffindor, and I'll go to La Wen Keluo." Bai Hao said with a smile.

"Huh? Why do you think I'm going to Gryffindor?" Hermione raised her eyebrows.

After seeing Bai Hao's magic on the train, Hermione felt that it was not surprising that Bai Hao entered La Wen Keluo.

But what she didn't understand was that before entering school, she learned from the book that the quality represented by Gryffindor is courage, so compared to the Lion House, Hermione felt that as a top student, she should respect knowledge more. Raven Klaus.

"Haha, you'll know later." Bai Hao didn't answer Hermione's question clearly, and played a charade.

Hermione does have Ravenclaw qualities in her. But judging from the original book, when Harry and Ron got into trouble at Hogwarts, Hermione was involved in a lot. If it were the Kitty Hawks, they wouldn't be so restless.

Besides, Hermione overlooked an important point. The literal translation of Raven Crow is "Raven's Claw". of greed.

"No, you..." Hermione annoyed others playing riddles the most, she couldn't bear the feeling that the answer was right in front of her eyes but she couldn't touch it.

"It's all ready inside, please follow me." Just when Hermione was about to press on, Professor McGonagall on the other side had already stopped the conflict between Della and Ron with cold eyes, and continued to look at each other like that , I'm afraid the two of them are going to kiss together.

Push open the door with beautiful reliefs, and a bright hall comes into view.

The ceiling of the hall simulated thunder and lightning because it was enchanted, and a row of animal statues were inlaid on the walls on both sides. Each animal was different, but without exception, they all held a hanging pendant The brazier, together with hundreds of candles floating in the air, illuminated the entire hall with its burning fire.

There are four extremely long tables at the bottom of the hall, and students from the four colleges are sitting around them. They are whispering and looking at this year's freshmen with scrutiny.

Under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, the freshmen walked through the aisle in the middle of the hall and came to a step.

I saw a chair on the steps, and a sorting hat on the chair. Behind the hat were the professors and staff of the school. There was an old man with a white beard between the professors and the staff. The old man was the headmaster of Hogwarts—Ah Bust Dumbledore.

Professor McGonagall stopped the freshmen from moving forward with his hand, then walked up the steps, stood beside the sorting hat and said, "Before the ceremony begins, Professor Dumbledore wants to say a few words to everyone."

Dumbledore stood up.

"I have a few notices for the start of school to announce, please pay attention to first-year freshmen, Barabara..." This paragraph was skipped directly.

After Dumbledore finished speaking, the sorting ceremony officially began, and Professor McGonagall opened the parchment in his hand.

"Students who report their names will come forward, and I will put the sorting hat on your head, and then confirm the college you are going to." Professor McGonagall picked up the sorting hat.

"Hermione Granger." Hermione was the first to read.

When Hermione heard her name, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She wanted to relieve her nervousness.

"No, well, relax, don't be nervous." Hermione comforted herself as she walked towards the Sorting Hat.

Sitting in the chair, Professor McGonagall put the sorting hat on Hermione's head.

"Oh, very good, that's right, good! Gryffindor." The Sorting Hat made a decision in less than 5 seconds, and the long table belonging to Gryffindor burst into warm applause.

Hermione walked down the steps and happily ran to the Gryffindor table, filled with shock as well as excitement.

"He guessed right, I really went to Gryffindor." Hermione thought to herself.

"Dellaco Malfoy...Susan Bones." The next step is to follow the procedure, the most eye-catching of which is of course our protagonist Harry Potter, the whole hall is assigned to Ryffindor burst into warm applause.

"Bai Hao Felkes." Bai Hao's name was finally read.

Bai Hao walked up the steps, looked at the Sorting Hat who was also staring at him, and stared with dead fish eyes.

Just now, it looked like nothing from a distance, it was just worn out, but when he got closer, Bai Hao saw that the sorting hat seemed to be not only worn out, but the shiny brim of the hat might not be a thousand-year-old hair oil.

Bai Hao's head was covered with black lines, and he turned to Professor McGonagall and said, "Professor McGonagall, please forgive me for waiting." Then he drew out his wand and pointed it at the Sorting Hat.

This is not a request, but a notice. Today, when the Heavenly King Laozi came, he had to clean up the damned Sorting Hat before putting it on his head.

Before Professor McGonagall had time to react, she saw Bai Hao pull out her wand, and her eyes were filled with panic and disbelief.

"Clean it up (enhanced version)." A burst of white light flashed, and the powerful light made people in the hall unable to open their eyes for a while. After a while, everyone saw that the sorting hat held by Professor McGonagall had a new look. become clean.

"Oh!!!! nice!!!!" This is not what Bai Hao said, it is the voice of most students in the school at this moment.

They couldn't stand the greasy hat for a long time. Many people responded to the sorting hat very much when they were sorted.

"Oh! My God, Mr. Felkes, how dare you..." Professor McGonagall patted her chest. She thought Bai Hao was going to do something dangerous, but she knew exactly what the little wizard in front of her could do. .

"Mr. Felkes, because of your behavior, after the colleges are assigned, you will deduct 10 points from your college on the first day of school." Professor McGonagall said angrily.

"Oh~~" Bai Hao didn't care, it doesn't matter if they are inseparable.

"Minerva, there's no need to be so angry." At this moment, Dumbledore slowly stood up.

"What a beautiful cleansing spell, Mr. Felkes." Dumbledore looked at Bai Hao with deep eyes, then turned to Professor McGonagall and said, "Although Mr. Felkes' behavior is a bit rash, but It’s true that the sorting hat hasn’t been cleaned for hundreds of years, so we don’t need to bring grudges to the freshmen, what do you think, Professor McGonagall.”

"Okay, I understand, Professor Dumbledore." Professor McGonagall changed back to his previous serious face, "Then, Mr. Felkes, let's continue the sorting ceremony."

Professor McGonagall holds up the brand new Sorting Hat.

"Okay, thank you two professors, I'll continue." After bickering with the Sorting Hat, Bai Hao was sorted into La Wen Keluo as he wished, and his life in Hogwarts officially started.
