Hogwarts students are witnessing what could be described as a peculiar sorting ceremony.

"I know it's unusual this year, I mean...we got rid of Quidditch and we got a professor who cursed us, but...that's weird too," Seamus murmured.

He looked at the grown-up Ilvermorny students, lining up, sitting on small stools one by one, ready to be screened by the dirty Sorting Hat.

His friend Dean Thomas shrugged and said, "There's only going to be more weirdness, and three schools haven't come yet!"

"Makes sense." Seamus nodded in agreement.

At the top of the auditorium, Felix spoke gently, attracting curious eyes. "You just need to walk over, put on your hats, and wait quietly for a while... However, I suggest you, it's better to say your name so that others can know you."

Byers, who was standing at the front of the line, glanced at him and asked, "Mr. Hepp, can I call you a professor?"

"Of course," Felix said. "I'm welcome to take my class."

Byers walked to the small stool. When he saw the sorting hat, he was a little dumbfounded. He glanced back at Felix in disbelief, and Felix nodded at him: Yes, that's what you think.

Biles said loudly: "Bairs Bach, from Ilvermorny, Thunderbird Academy." Then he closed his eyes resignedly, curled himself up on the small stool, and put on the sorting hat.

"Look!" said an Ilvermorny girl, pointing to the Sorting Hat.

The gray hat suddenly cracked a gap from the bottom, and at the same time, a voice sounded in Byers' mind.

"Haven't you seen this sort of sorting ceremony, little guy?"

Byers opened his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Are you a hat ghost?"

"...you think so. How did you guys get sorted? Oh, so that's how...stand in front of four statues, waiting to be picked...Hogwarts is not so troublesome, I can do it by one..."

"Can you see my memory?" Byers was taken aback.

"Just what you're thinking at the moment, don't interrupt! You're a Thunderbird student? Kind-hearted, but adventurous... Both Hufflepuff and Gryffindor suit you, you can pick one..."

"Which college is Professor Hepp?" Byers made his own calculations.

"Slytherin...don't think about it, you can't...you're too far from that sly kid..."

"No, I want to try!" Byers said.

His idea is very simple, they won't necessarily have time to go to class when the competition starts, and now he just wants to choose the college according to his own preferences.

But the Sorting Hat disagreed. It didn't want to go against its own principles and assign students to completely inappropriate houses. In the end, Byers rubbed the Sorting Hat with the Sorting Hat for five minutes. The Sorting Hat became impatient and shouted loudly, "Gryffindor!"

There was an immediate burst of applause from the Gryffindor seat.

Byers took off his hat in a daze, and heard Felix say to him, "Go, pick a seat, you'll make new friends."

Byers walked to the long table belonging to Gryffindor, and when he sat down, he saw a round face similar to his.

"Uh, how are you?" he greeted proactively, "I'm Biers Bach."

"Hello, my name is Neville, Neville Longbottom," replied the round-faced boy.

"Did you take Mr. Hepp's class?" Byers asked.

"Oh, of course..." Neville's attitude became enthusiastic, and he began to introduce the ancient Rune course, and then mentioned the Rune Club and the duel class.

Next, the speed of the sorting quietly accelerated——

"Stuward Hampton, Ilvermorny, Cat Leopard Academy."

"Hufflepuffs!"

"Victor Percival Graves, of Ilvermorny, Horned Hydra."

"Slytherin!"

"Francis Hunt, from Ilvermorny, Goblin Academy."

"Ravenclaw!"

Ten minutes later, the Sorting Hat ended the brief sorting ceremony.

Dumbledore stood up from his seat and said to everyone: "Next, ask the prefects of each academy to lead your new students to enjoy a leisurely weekend. During the dinner, we will gather here and have a delicious meal. Then the students of Ilvermorny will follow your professor back to the temporary residence. At that time, Professor McGonagall will send you the class schedule of the corresponding college, and you can choose the courses you like during the first week."

"Is there anything you don't understand?"

He glanced around and announced happily: "Then get moving, I think you can't wait!" He turned his head and bowed slightly, and said to the headmaster of Ilvermorny, "Professor Fontana, in my office There is a new tea for this year..."

"Of course." The headmaster of Ilvermorny returned a meticulous salute.

Dumbledore took him away, leaving Professor McGonagall a little embarrassed.

It stands to reason that Professor Wilkinson and Professor Moody teach the same subject and should have a common language, but McGonagall is really worried about letting them get along alone. She doesn't want to see it in the Daily Prophet the next day. News of Ilvermorny's professor being attacked at Hogwarts.

She went with Flitwick. She was going to talk about some light-hearted topics, and if Professor Moody was going to talk about her experience of casting curses on students, she would have stopped in time...

Before leaving, Professor McGonagall gave Felix a look. The reason why she left at ease was because she saw that the other two young assistants knew Felix, and she was very at ease with Felix.

Sure enough, Yuria and Bethni found Felix.

Before he could say anything, Bethnie ran over and hugged him warmly. She said excitedly, "Mr. Hepp, this is a belated thank you...Thank you for saving my life!"

When she let go, Felix smiled and said, "I just happen to have that ability, and no matter who is there at the time, I won't be indifferent."

He didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he changed the subject bluntly: "Miss Bach, Mr. Edmund, do you want to try the Sorting Hat?"

This really wasn't a normal topic, and the Sorting Hat looked weak in his hands.

But Yuria and Bethni were really interested. They just watched it for a long time on the professorship, and now they have the opportunity to try it and naturally they will not refuse. As a result of the test, Uriah was assigned to Slytherin and Bethney to Ravenclaw.

...

"I really didn't expect you to become professors. But it looks like you didn't quit the Reform Society?"

On the grounds outside the castle, Felix took the two to stroll along the Black Lake, and the students of Hogwarts all went to see the students of Ilvermorny. The surroundings were empty and no one could be seen. The breeze was blowing, and the giant squid in the black lake basked lazily in the sun.

He glanced at the sail wave logo on the right side of their chests and asked softly.

"It's more than that! Brother Yuria is now the backbone of the Reform Association. Many people joined because of his name. Even the logo of the organization was designed by him."

Bethney said with emotion, "Actually, Principal Fontana sheltered us. Before the Magic Congress officially made a decision, he hired Yuria, and I followed him as a teaching assistant."

Felix nodded, and that made sense. Uriah Edmund was the student leader of the Paris incident. Even if the Magical Congress of the United States did not pursue it at the time, it would inevitably cause trouble afterwards. But after becoming a teaching assistant at Ilvermorny School, many problems were solved.

"But they still broke Yuria's wand." Bethney said bitterly.

Every time she mentions this, she gets annoyed.

Yuria said indifferently: "They also restrict me in these insignificant places."

Bethni said sharply, "How can it be irrelevant? It's too inconvenient to not have a wand!"

Uriah shook his head slightly, and he looked at Felix: "Mr. Haip, which class do you think I teach?"

Felix thought for a while: "I can only think of it, herbal class... no," he saw Bethine trying to interject, and realized that he had guessed wrong, his brain was spinning quickly, and he didn't need a wand to get involved with him. Relationship... he said in a positive tone: "Muggle studies?"

Bethney looked at him in surprise.

"Yeah, but we call it No-Maj Studies there — No-Maj is short for non-magical people," Yuria explained. "I suffered for a while after losing my wand, but I quickly discovered that , it affects me a lot less than I expected...some simple magic that I can cast without a staff."

"On the contrary, I had more time to think. In the library, I saw Mr. Hepp's writings, which opened a window for me... Principal Fontana sheltered me, but he did not Counting on me to teach students, I chose the direction of my own research.”

He said solemnly: "So, when I found out that the school was planning to participate in the competition, I immediately asked the principal to add my name to the delegation... I hope to be able to ask you for advice in person!"

...

After they separated, Felix looked at Yuria's back with some emotion. Although it had only been over a year, he had obviously grown a lot and was more organized.

"Well, maybe I should advise Remus to get the branch there first."
