Chapter 4111 4113【New Semester】
Yeqi pulled the carriage and carried Xiang Nan and others around the outer wall of Hogwarts, and finally arrived in front of the school gate of Hogwarts.
It was a majestic cast-iron gate, lined with stone pillars and topped with winged boar statues.
Because the name Hogwarts comes from Warthog. Legend has it that Hogwarts was located here because Rowena Ravenclaw was guided by a jewish pig in her sleep to the cliffs beside the lake.
In ancient Greek mythology, Chrysaor, the giant son of Poseidon and Medusa and the holder of the Golden Sword, is represented by a winged warthog.
Legend has it that he and the water goddess Calliloe gave birth to the giant Geryon and the snake girl Echidna. Echidna and the giant Typhon gave birth to Chimera, Hydra, Sphinx, harpy, Nemean lion, three-headed dog of the underworld, the dragon of Colchis and other monsters. Therefore Chrysaor is also known as the "ancestor of monsters".
The carriage stopped in front of the castle, and everyone got out of the carriage, walked up the steps, passed through the huge oak door, passed through the deep vestibule, and arrived at the school's auditorium.
The auditorium is still as magnificent and magnificent, and it has been specially decorated for the new semester banquet. Hundreds of candles floated above the table, making the gold plates and goblets sparkle.
Everyone sat down at the long table in their own college, waiting for the sorting ceremony of the new students.
"When will the sorting start? I'm starving to death. I can eat a cow." Joey Farrell said, holding his stomach.
"Don't worry, we can have a big meal after the separation is completed." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the auditorium was opened, Professor McGonagall led a group of freshmen in, and then the sorting ceremony officially began.
As usual, the Sorting Hat sang a new song first, introducing his origin and how he was assigned to the house.
Gryffindor values courage, Ravenclaw values wisdom, Slytherin values ambition, and Hufflepuff values honesty. It will assign students to appropriate colleges based on their characteristics.
Of course, if they are not suitable, they will be classified into Hufflepuff, because it is the most inclusive house. Even if it has no merit, it is still willing to take it in.
"This song is not the one he sang when he sorted us last time." Gregory said as he applauded with everyone.
"The song is different every year." Benjamin laughed. "As a hat, its life must be quite monotonous, right? I guess it took a whole year to come up with the next song."
Then the sorting ceremony officially began.
Xiang Nan didn't pay attention to this matter because he was eavesdropping on the students' chat. Everyone was talking about the "mysterious wizard", and everyone looked uneasy and frightened.
In their opinion, this so-called "mysterious wizard" is much more terrifying than Voldemort.
Because Voldemort's terror is obvious, and he is nothing more than advocating "pure-blood supremacy" and discriminating, attacking, and killing Muggle wizards.
But the horror of the "mysterious wizard" lies in the dark. No one knows who he is, no one knows what he wants to do, why he absorbs the wizard's magic, and how he does it...
The more unknown it is, the more terrifying it is, and naturally everyone is in danger.
"I don't know who he is."
"I wonder if he will come to Hogwarts."
The students talked a lot, especially those students who lived in the wizarding world and were relatively well-informed. Everyone looked worried. Wizards like Joey Farrell and Benjamin Winslet who live in the Muggle world don't know about this at all, so their mentality is much better.
…
Soon the sorting ceremony ended, and Professor McGonagall took away the sorting hat and four-legged stool.
Headmaster Dumbledore stood up and said, "Welcome!" The light of the candles made his beard sparkle, "Welcome to Hogwarts in the new school year!
We also welcome a new professor to join our team. He is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher-Tim Brown. Welcome! "
An ordinary-looking male wizard about fifty years old stood up.
The students applauded.
When Austin Amelio, a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, traveled to France last year, he was bitten by a blood-venomous jellyfish and had to take at least half a year off.
However, Xiang Nan believes that after he recovers from his injury, he may not dare to take on this position again. After all, it was rumored that this position was cursed by Voldemort, and no teacher could teach it for a whole year.
Although this curse may not be true, in fact, in the past few decades, as a teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts, things have often happened, and he has been teaching for less than a year.
Therefore, everyone would rather believe that it exists than that it does not exist.
"Attention first-year students, students are prohibited from entering the woods on campus. Some of our classmates from the old class should also remember this." Dumbledore said, "Also, the administrator Mr. Filch also asked me to remind you. Everyone, don't do magic in the hallways between classes.
Quidditch player reviews will take place during the second week of the term. Any second-year students or above who are interested in participating in the college team, please contact Mrs. Huo Qi.
Okay, I’m done, let’s eat~”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the originally empty long table was suddenly covered with all kinds of delicacies.
"Finally we can eat." Joey cheered, immediately grabbed a chicken leg and ate it hungrily.
The classmates also followed suit and feasted.
…
"You can participate in the selection of the Quidditch team in the second grade. I must try and try to get into the Quidditch team." Benjamin said enthusiastically.
Although he lived in the Muggle world and didn't even know there was magic before entering Hogwarts last year, he fell in love with Quidditch as soon as he saw it and was crazy about it.
"I'm going with you, I also want to join the team." Gregory said with the same hope, "Sev, do you want to go too?"
"I won't go. You go and play. I will cheer for you." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan waved his hands and said with a smile.
Joining the Quidditch team is not just as simple as playing two games. The key is to continue training so that you can hone your flying ability and develop a tacit understanding with the players.
But this takes a lot of time, and Xiang Nan is worried about not having enough time. Because he had to read all the books in the library and try to become an Animagus during this year. His time was still very tight and he had no time to participate in Quidditch matches.
"That's such a shame, you fly so well." See him saying this. Both Gregory and Benjamin felt sorry.
Because Xiang Nan is the best flyer among the first-year students, not inferior to those Quidditch players at all. But he didn't want to go himself, and he didn't recruit anyone.
