Chapter 4069 4071 [School Sorting Ceremony]
Other freshmen didn't know about the sorting hat, so they all looked at the hat in confusion, not knowing what it was about.
At this moment, the hat suddenly moved, and a wide slit opened from the edge of the hat, like a mouth... Then it began to sing, "I am the magic hat used for testing at Hogwarts.
Any thoughts hidden in your mind,
No one can escape the magic hat’s golden eyes and fiery eyes,
…
Put it on and try it on, and I’ll tell you,
Which college should you be assigned to?
…
Come and put it on me! Don't be afraid!
Don’t panic!
In my hands, you are absolutely safe
Because I am a thinking magic hat! "
"Whoever's name I call now will put on his hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the sorting." Professor McGonagall then took out a piece of paper and read, "Yvette Avery!"
A little girl with golden brown hair immediately walked out of the team and nervously came to the four-legged stool.
Professor McGonagall picked up the hat, motioned for her to sit on it, and then placed the hat on her head.
“Slytherin!” In an instant, the hat had made its decision.
“Yeah!” The students at the rightmost table cheered enthusiastically. Yvette Avery also breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly walked towards that table.
Following Donald Brown, Sirius Black, Olivia Davis, etc., they were assigned one after another.
Donald Brown was assigned to Hufflepuff, and Sirius Black was assigned to Gryffindor as expected. Olivia Davis was assigned to Ravenclaw, and then she heard Professor McGonagall read, "Lily Evans~"
Lily was suddenly a little nervous.
"Don't worry, relax and go." Xiang Nan encouraged.
Lily took a deep breath and sat down in front of the Sorting Hat.
Professor McGonagall put the Sorting Hat on her head. Within a second of the hat touching her crimson hair, she shouted: "Gryffindor!"
The Gryffindor students at the far left table immediately gave her a warm cheer.
Xiang Nan sighed. He didn't like Gryffindor too much, but he didn't like going to Slytherin either.
“Forget it, let’s choose Ravenclaw.” He thought for a while and said.
Following other students such as Gregory Foley, Devlyn Fox, Trent Garcia, Jillian Greengrass, Remus Lupine, Gonzalo Nott, Ben Alban, James Potter, Peter Pedro, etc. were all read one after another.
Xiang Nan noticed that Remus Lupine was wearing an old robe like him, and he looked very lethargic and sickly. Peter Pedro, also known as Pettigrew, is very short and not amazing in appearance.
But it took the Sorting Hat at least four minutes to assign him to the right house, which is still very impressive.
He walked over quickly.
Professor McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat on his head.
"Incredible! Amazing talent, brilliant mind, unyielding courage, strong ambition, and kindness..." The Sorting Hat became hesitant, "Where should I assign you to?" "Ravenclaw, Ra. Winclaw, Ravenclaw..." Xiang Nan kept praying in his mind. He knew that the Sorting Hat would often respect the students' opinions when it was difficult to make a decision.
"Yes, your wisdom does meet the requirements of Ravenclaw." The Sorting Hat whispered, "Well, now that you have made up your mind... then go to Ravenclaw!"
Xiang Nan suddenly laughed happily, got up and went to the second table on the left.
“Welcome~”, “Congratulations~”, “Congratulations~” the Ravenclaw students said one after another.
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded in return, then sat down at the long table.
The sorting ceremony also officially ended after sorting out the last student, Phineas Zokofel.
Xiang Nan noticed that there were only thirty-six freshmen in this class, and Ravenclaw was allocated a total of seven freshmen, four boys and three girls.
Professor McGonagall put away the parchment, picked up the sorting hat and the four-legged stool and left. At this time, the principal, Professor Albus Dumbledore, stood up.
He looked at all his classmates with a smile, and opened his arms in a welcoming gesture. "I only have two words to say to you," he said, his rich voice echoing in the auditorium, "Eat!"
With this order, a large amount of food miraculously appeared on the originally empty long table. Roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding, pea shoots, carrots, gravy, tomato sauce...
The freshmen were all stunned by this scene, but the old students had long been accustomed to it and immediately started to feast.
Although Xiang Nan doesn’t need to eat, he doesn’t mind tasting the delicacies made by house elves. You must know that many of these delicacies are cooked according to the food recipes passed down by Helga Hufflepuff, the founder of Hufflepuff House.
He chose a piece of grilled lamb chop, and it tasted really good. It was tender and delicious, and the meat was fragrant. It was no worse than what he, a top chef, made.
…
At this time, a new student let out an exclamation.
The students looked out and saw a large group of ghosts floating into the restaurant.
They are pearly white and translucent, flying around in the air, very magical.
It was the first time for many students to see ghosts, especially the children from the Muggle world. They were all stunned and thought they were evil spirits.
But in fact, the ghost is not an evil spirit, but a mark left by the wizard in the world after his death. If they don't want to die or have unfulfilled wishes, they will turn into ghosts.
Ghosts have no physical body and cannot touch real objects. When people come into contact with ghosts, it feels like jumping into a bucket of ice water, which is very uncomfortable.
“Who just taught Peeves a lesson, and which branch he was assigned to?” After the ghosts entered the restaurant, some of them asked excitedly.
The freshmen looked at them with horrified faces and did not dare to answer for a while. Only a few of them boldly pointed at Xiang Nan.
"Ah ha, it's you, you did a great job~" The ghost wearing a wheel-shaped collar flew to Xiang Nan and said excitedly, "It's a pity that you are from Ravenclaw House. It would be better if you were from Gryffindor House. ”
“Thank you.” Xiang Nan nodded.
“You did a good job.” A slender female ghost with waist-length hair also said to Xiang Nan.
“But you have to be careful of Peeves’ revenge. He likes to hold grudges.” A chubby monk-like ghost reminded him.
"I will, thank you for reminding me." Xiang Nan nodded.
He knew that Peeves was difficult, but he was not afraid. Having an opponent who could jump out and play tricks on him at any time can actually hone his ability to adapt to situations.
