HP Approaches the Magical World

Chapter 12 The Sorting Ceremony and Dinner

(I updated the author's words in the last one, and explained some problems. I hope everyone will go back and have a look. There is no way, I am so humble.)

Through a long and narrow corridor, a group of freshmen, led by Professor McGonagall, came to the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

Candles floating in mid-air illuminate the dining room, glittering gold plates and goblets, ghosts mixed in the student team with dim silver light, and thousands of candles spinning slowly in the dark on the ceiling dome Stars of mysterious light.

Everything is the same as in the novel!

Jon looked at the teacher's seat on the high platform among the crowd. In the middle of the classroom seat was an old man with a white beard. He couldn't see clearly with his eyes. His tall figure sitting on it had a special deterrent force.

Headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore.

But if he hadn't known the character of this character, it would be really difficult for Jon to see his kindness from his expression, and it was also hard to imagine that this serious old man would have a relationship with the famous Dark Lord Gellert Grindel Wo entangled all his life.

And then there's the cracked hat that's singing.

It was standing on a high four-legged stool, torturing the new students with a broken gong, and the stain on the cap made Jon feel uncomfortable.

Forget it, bear with it and pass.

Jon pinched his nose, took two steps back, and almost bumped into the little black-haired girl beside him.

well? Why does this little girl look so familiar?

Before Jon could remember who this girl was, Professor McGonagall's voice came down from the stage.

"Marietta Ackmore."

A middle-sized little girl hurried out of the crowd, almost fell, and put on her hat amidst the laughter of the crowd.

"Ravenclaw!"

Cheers erupted from the second long table on the left, and Marietta Ackmore nervously ran over to shake hands with the Ravenclaw students happily.

Is this the girl who betrayed Dumbledore's Army?

She may not even know that she will have such a big "achievement" in the future.

Half of Jon's mind was on finding the familiar figure, leaving only one ear for the name.

Katie Bell was assigned to Gryffindor, and the twins from the Weasley family stood up to greet her—their red hair was so conspicuous, and the serious red-haired youth beside them, It should be Charlie Weasley.

On the Hufflepuff side, he only saw a familiar face, Cedric Diggory, sitting among the Hufflepuff students without seeming restrained, unlike on the train; Bella Sitting in Ravenclaw's seat and smiling at Jon, he probably wants to see whether Jon is going to Gryffindor or Slytherin - Jon always feels that he can't see Ravenclaw at all at this point. What's wrong with Winclaw and Slytherin.

And while he and Bella were making eye contact, Ravenclaw already had another freshman: Eddie Carmichael—another familiar name.

The Slytherin side looked dignified, and this group of noble-born students all sat upright in accordance with table manners.

So far, only three new students have joined Slytherin, which is not a good sign, considering that Gryffindor already has seven new students.

Just when he was about to watch a good show, Professor McGonagall called out his name.

"Jon Smith."

There's nothing special about the name, Smith is the most common surname in the British Isles, and Jon is pretty common too.

It's great that it doesn't have the all-encompassing Harry Potter feel.

He walked to the stage and let Professor McGonagall put the sorting hat on his head.

"Wow, it's really hard, very hard!"

A thin voice sounded in Jon's ear:

"The magic is strong,

He is also very courageous, with a good heart and good talent..."

"I'm going to Hufflepuff!"

Jon said silently in his heart.

"What? Are you sure?"

The shrill voice of the Sorting Hat seemed a little unbelievable.

"I want to go to Hufflepuff!"

"You certainly meet all the criteria to be a Hufflepuff, no doubt, but I don't think that's a very good choice..."

"I want to go to Hufflepuff!"

"Don't you have any other ideas?" The Sorting Hat said impatiently, "Both Gryffindor and Slytherin can help you become a powerful wizard..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, I'm going to Hufflepuff, if you talk nonsense again, I'll give you a bath!"

The Sorting Hat: "...well then, Hufflepuff!"

Jon took off his hat and handed it back to Professor McGonagall with a smile on his face, and walked towards the long table of Hufflepuff who was cheering.

No one thought it was a strange thing, just like Jon's name, he should go to an ordinary and unremarkable college like Hufflepuff, the only one who was a little surprised was Bella.

But Bella just sighed softly and didn't say anything else.

Jon sat among the Hufflepuff students and shook hands with several students around. Cedric was the only one who knew him, so he could also say a few words to him, as a good old man Cedric knew , every Hufflepuff is willing to say a few words with Jon.

They were all like that even without Cedric.

Jon and everyone who greeted him smiled and said nothing else, and he acted like he was very hungry, and of course everyone was hungry, so no one was surprised.

Another thing worth mentioning is that when Professor McGonagall called out the last name, Jon finally remembered who the girl he almost ran into was.

Cho Chang, future girlfriend of Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory.

Hogwarts is really small.

The flame that had just been extinguished in Jon's heart sprang up again. He decided to eliminate the possibility of Bella and Cedric as soon as possible, and then make Cedric fall in love with Qiu Zhang as soon as possible.

He firmly believed that as long as his little butterfly fanned the wind hard enough to save a few people from dying, there should be no problem.

After Qiu Zhang was called out of Ravenclaw by the Sorting Hat, Professor McGonagall picked up the Sorting Hat and left, and Albus Dumbledore stood up.

He looked at the students with a smile on his face, and stretched out his arms to them. Nothing seemed to make him happier than seeing the students gathered together.

"Welcome!"

He said: "Welcome to Hogwarts to start a new school year! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. That is: idiots! sneeze! scum! screw! Thank you all!"

After he finished speaking, the empty plates on the long table were suddenly filled with food, and the hall was filled with laughter and laughter.

Perhaps this is a good place to start?

Jon cut a piece of pumpkin pie and put it in front of him, and began to enjoy the food.

Hogwarts is good at elf work, and Harry Potter may have a good time as a student in the year before he enters.

very nice.

Jon smiled and raised the watermelon juice on hand to touch Cedric: "Happy new school year!"
