Connor's Hogwarts

"What kind of music is this? It sounds good."

On the boat in the Black Lake, Harry Ron and Ivan were sitting in the same boat (each boat can seat 3 to 4 people), and Ivan was playing a music box.

"Let me see... Sea... Hedwig Variations, that's what it says on the card." Ivan said.

"Hedwig? My owl is also named Hedwig!" Harry said in surprise.

"That's a coincidence, but I haven't heard this song before. Have you heard it?" Ron muttered.

"I don't know, but this song is really nice..." Ivan liked this gift very much.

At this time, they had already docked in a boat. The little wizards came to Hagrid in twos and threes, and then brought them to Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall told them about the branching and then went into the auditorium to report.

"I heard from Fred and the others that Professor McGonagall is the head of Gryffindor and a very serious professor." Ron was discussing with a few people in a low voice.

"Hey, Connor said that Professor McGonagall is very kind..." Ivan thought about Professor McGonagall's serious-looking face, then lowered his head and said, "Maybe he is a cold-hearted professor..."

"I don't know if I can get into Gryffindor..." Ron shuddered, "If I didn't get into Gryffindor, I would definitely be kicked out of the house..."

"Don't worry, Ron. Your parents are both Gryffindors, so you are probably a Gryffindor too. Don't worry too much." Ivan actually felt guilty, but he still tried to comfort Ron.

"What about me? Do you know which college my parents are from?" Harry suddenly asked in a low voice.

Ron was stunned and turned his eyes to Ivan, who said: "Gryffindor, your parents are both Gryffindors. I heard my grandfather talk about it..."

Harry was about to ask more, when suddenly a string of ghosts appeared, startling the little wizards, and then...

"Pah! Pah!"

Two firework cannons exploded above their heads, "Giggle!" A burst of laughter came from above their heads. The little wizards looked up one after another, and then saw a mini-shaped silver-white flying dragon holding two cans in his hand. Gun salutes circled above them.

"Hey! First-year brats! Remember me, Uncle Pepper! From now on, you will all hang out with me!"

"Pippi-Pepper! Get out!" Professor McGonagall came back again, waving her wand to threaten the "Blue Eyes White Dragon" in the air.

"Just a little! I can go in this year! I didn't expect it! Old woman! Hahahaha!" Pepper threw a few more fireworks at the freshmen, laughed and flew into the auditorium.

Professor McGonagall had a dark face, but finally shook her head and said to the freshmen: "Follow me."

"what is that?"

"I heard my brother say it was Pepper, a poltergeist."

"It's so fun!"

"I wonder if I can make friends with it..."

After being disturbed by Pepper, the nervousness of the little wizards was relieved a lot...

Then, came the moment of sorting.

"Hannah Abbott!"

"Hufflepuff!"

"Susan Burns!"

"Hufflepuff!"

Harry became nervous again. He subconsciously observed the professors sitting behind the Sorting Hat. He saw the old man with a white beard sitting in the main seat. That was the Principal Dumbledore he saw on the card. He saw Hagrid, Hagrid was smiling to himself. He saw Professor Quirrell, whom he had met only once, and he also saw a gloomy-looking professor - he seemed to have been looking at him.

"Hermione Granger!"

Then Harry saw the messy-haired little girl he had just seen in the car running out, and hurriedly put the hat on his head.

"Gryffindor!"

"Uh huh" Ron said reluctantly.

"Neville Longbottom!"

The boy who lost the toad also walked up, and the Sorting Hat took a long time to make a decision: "Gryffindor!"

Then Neville took the hat and ran away, making everyone laugh. Harry couldn't help laughing. Finally, amid the roar of laughter, Neville ran back and returned the hat to Professor McGonagall.

After that…

"Eden Lake!"

Ivan took a deep breath, Harry and Ron each patted his shoulders. Ivan nodded, walked forward and put on the sorting hat.

"Oh, Lake? You are Connor's younger brother, right? You are a very courageous young man and very ambitious. Gryffindor and Slytherin are both suitable for you... So where should you be assigned? Let me think. Just thinking about it..." The Sorting Hat's voice rang in Ivan's ears, and after a while, it shouted out:

"Slytherin!"

Ivan put down the sorting hat, bowed slightly to Professor McGonagall, and walked towards the Slytherin table where applause broke out.

"Draco Malfoy!"

On the other side, Connor lay on the table in frustration: "Hey~ Ivan went to Slytherin, it's boring..."

"Would you like your brother to come to Ravenclaw too?"

"No, I don't expect him to come to Ravenclaw, I hope he goes to Gryffindor, so at least we can be closer, being in the basement is too far...and..."

And if you go to Slytherin, you will miss out on the House Cup, little brother, Connor thought, and then heard Professor McGonagall read:

"Theodore Nott!"

"Slytherin!"

This... is Professor Nott's nephew. Professor Nott asked me to take care of him... But since Ivan has entered Slytherin, this task should be left to him.

"Harry Potter!"

Finally, it was Harry's turn.

Harry carefully put on his hat, "Well... it's difficult, it's difficult. I can see that you are very courageous, not bad-hearted, and very talented. Oh, yes, you are also eager to prove yourself. , Hmm, yes, I know I need to divide you up..."

"I want to go to Gryffindor, I want to go to Gryffindor, I want to go to Gryffindor..." Harry kept repeating in his mind.

"You want to go to Gryffindor? Have you decided? If you go to Slytherin, you can achieve a lot. There is no doubt that, okay, you don't like it? Now that you have made a decision, then-"

"Gryffindor!"

"We have Potter! We have Potter!" Fred and George jumped up and shouted loudly, and the auditorium burst into warm applause.

Connor shrugged and withdrew his gaze: "Obviously, we Ravenclaw can't get a savior."

Roger also applauded: "For some reason, I'm not too surprised by this."

"Perhaps only lions are associated with heroes."

"Emm that makes sense."

There are three more people after Harry, and the sorting ceremony is over, so I won’t introduce them here. (Seems like you forgot something?)

There are fewer freshmen this year than last year, only forty, probably due to the poor social environment in the years when they were born...

Then the banquet started, and the hungry little wizards feasted one after another. Connor was eating with gusto, and Artoria's greedy voice came from the earrings in his ears.

"Would you like to come out and eat something?"

"No...no more..."

"Connor? Who are you talking to?" Penello cast a confused look.

"Oh, it's nothing..." Connor shook his head. It was too troublesome to explain one by one. When the time comes, I'll just explain them all together...

"By the way, what courses will you take this year?"

Emily said: "I haven't decided yet, what about you Connor?"

"Me? Arithmancy and ancient runes."

"Are you going to take two such difficult courses?!" Roger said while biting a chicken leg: "I plan to take Care of Magical Creatures and Divination. I heard that these two are relatively easy, and I don't need to take Muggle Studies. It’s such a pity, it seems we can’t take elective courses together…”

Emily next to her rolled her eyes, as if she already had an idea, while Penello offered advice to the juniors:

"The divination class is very boring, because Professor Trelawney...well, I mean her class is a bit unrealistic. Although arithmetic divination is difficult, it is very useful. It will be easier to find a job after learning this. I also chose it last year Ancient Runes, but this course is really too difficult, much more difficult than Charms, so I don’t plan to take it again this year. I plan to take Care of Magical Creatures instead..."

"As for Muggle Studies...well, I heard that the course is quite interesting, but for wizards like us living in the Muggle world, there is really no need to learn this."

Third-year wizards can choose two of the five elective courses for further study. Of course, you can also try to choose a few more, but there is a high probability that you will be invited to tea by the professors, unless... you are really excellent.

Connor didn't intend to take so many classes to bring about trouble. He was a person who pursued efficiency first. He only wanted to learn things that were useful to him and would not waste time meaninglessly.

After the pleasant dinner time, the dinner entered the final stage——

"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore said loudly.

While many people's expressions changed drastically, Connor turned around and gave the twins a thumbs up.

Fred and George each held a music box and gave Connor two thumbs up, with sinister smiles on their faces.

"Each person chooses his or her favorite tune - prepare and sing!"

Then - the music box, maximum power, starts!

On September 1st, 1991, the entire Hogwarts Castle was filled with the slow melody of the "Funeral March"...for a long time...

Presumably, this will be a very unforgettable opening ceremony.

There are activities in the book club, we look forward to your participation_(:з」∠)_
