The Wizarding Journey of Hogwarts

Chapter 31 The Sorting Ceremony Begins
"I asked my grandma, but grandma wouldn't tell me. Uncle Algie once said we were going to take down a troll."

Neville began to tense up again.That's a troll!It is said that there are monsters more than 3 meters high. I guess my attack can't even tickle the giant monster.

"Trolls!? I know about trolls. I saw them in the book "Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense". The book says that the trolls have great power and anti-magic skin, which cannot be defeated by little wizards .”

Hermione also became nervous, she didn't expect the sorting ceremony at Hogwarts to be so difficult!She thought she was just going to test the spellcasting ability of the little wizards, and she had been preparing for it for a long time.

But what did she hear now?Defeat a troll?It seems that I have to pay close attention to the last period of time before learning offensive magic. I hope my magic can break through the monster's anti-magic skin.

Thinking of this, Hermione quickly stood up, ready to find the spell book from the luggage, and look for the spell of 'Troll Attack'.

"Your uncle is fooling you, Neville. You only need to wear a hat called a 'sorting hat' when sorting, and then the hat will decide which house you will be sorted into."

Bell decisively spoiled the spoiler, he is not interested in following the unspoken rules of that wicked taste.

In Bell's view, this so-called unspoken rule is the same as a person who was often beaten by his parents when he was a child, so he will beat his own children when he grows up. There is no fundamental difference.

Moreover, Shanna will also enter Hogwarts to study in two years. Does he have to watch his sister worry and fear for such a stupid reason until the sorting ceremony begins?Do not make jokes!
"The 'Sorting Hat'? But how can a hat decide which house we go to?"

While Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, she was also puzzled.

"It is said that the hat was infused with its own thoughts by the four founders of Hogwarts, and it can read the thoughts and characters of the students. Of course, it will respect the students' decisions in many cases and assign them to the places they want. school to go to."

In fact, Bell doesn't like the sorting tradition of Hogwarts very much.In his previous life, he had never heard of any school that would classify students according to their personality (usually based on grades).

People change, and the 11-year-old wizards are in the stage of personality formation.Therefore, in Bell's view, rather than sorting the little wizards according to their personalities, it is better to forcibly characterize the children's personalities and tell them 'you should be such a kind of person'.

This is the killing of nature!

"Then which college do you want to go to?"

Neville said anxiously: "My family members are all Gryffindors. If I don't get a Gryffindor, my grandma will definitely take me home."

"What about you, Bell?" Hermione asked.

"My family are all Slytherins, but I'm going to Ravenclaw."

"I want to go to Gryffindor. I heard that Gryffindor is the best college. The current principal, Professor Dumbledore, graduated from Gryffindor."

"No one house is the best, Hermione. In fact, the professors in the four houses are all the same people, so the content of the classes is exactly the same. The reason why Dumbledore can become the greatest white wizard of modern times is not Because he graduated from Gryffindor House, but because he is Dumbledore."

Bell hesitated for a while, but decided to persuade Hermione. He believed that Hermione's experience in his memory had killed her talent, and she should be able to achieve higher achievements.

"I think Ravenclaw is more suitable for you, maybe Gryffindor will be your hindrance."

The little witch remained silent and did not speak, apparently not intending to change her decision just because of a word that Bell just met said.

"Of course, this is just a little suggestion from me, everything is up to you to decide."

Bell shrugged nonchalantly.He didn't know Hermione well, although he used to like Hermione very much, but the person he liked was the 'Hermione' in the book, not the one sitting next to him now.

"I still have some desserts here, do you want some more?"

Feeling that he had already digested some of the food in his stomach, Bell took out some cakes and other desserts.

"No, no, no! I really can't eat at all!"

In the following time, Hermione kept asking questions, some related to magic knowledge, and some related to the wizarding world. It was like a hundred thousand whys, and Bell was exhausted.

'Can't you just leave me alone for a while! ? '

……

It was already getting dark outside, and the train would arrive at the station soon, and all three of them changed into Hogwarts school uniforms.

Soon, the voice of the flight attendant echoed on the train.

"We will arrive at Hogwarts in 5 minutes. Please put your luggage on the train and we will send it to your dormitory."

Following the crowded crowd, the three got off the train.

A giant with a visually estimated height of about 3 meters was standing in the distance and shouting loudly, asking the first-year freshmen to come to him. By the way, he also yelled Harry Potter's name, making everyone click He tiptoed hard to look over.

A group of people walked through the potholed dark path, and finally saw Hogwarts Castle for the first time by the lake, and many young wizards exclaimed.Hermione even grew her small mouth, and her eyes were wide open. It is estimated that this is the first time that the little witch has seen the castle with her own eyes in reality.

The castle of Hogwarts is much larger than that of the Bell family, but it is not as exquisite as the Bell family. Generally speaking, each has its own merits.But there are also Forbidden Forest and Black Lake within Hogwarts, so the surrounding scenery is better.

He took a boat across the Black Lake, and was taken to the hut next to the auditorium by Professor McGonagall to wait.

A group of wicked ghosts suddenly passed through the wall and flew over the heads of the little wizards, startling them.This was Bell's first time seeing ghosts. He was still very interested in them and wanted to catch one to study.

Finally, the door to the auditorium was opened.The little wizards lined up into the auditorium, arranged horizontally, surrounded by a group of seniors and sisters.The faces of Hermione and Neville standing beside Bell turned pale.

An old and dirty hat was placed on a stool not far from the freshmen.Everyone was staring at the hat, and Hermione and Neville thought 'this is the legendary Sorting Hat'.

Suddenly, there was a big hole in the hat, and it sang in a hoarse and ugly voice.

"You may think I'm not pretty enough,

But don't judge a book by its cover,
……

Because I am a thinking magic hat. "

Due to the unpleasant sound and lack of five notes, Bell decisively blocked the noise attack of the Sorting Hat.

After the Sorting Hat finished singing, Professor McGonagall, who had been standing next to the stool, finally said, "Whoever's name I call now, come and put on the sorting hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the sorting."

"Hannah Abbott"

"Hufflepuff!" Hat shouted.

"Terry Boot"

"Ravenclaw!" cried the hat again.

……

"Bel Menethil"
