Obscure at Hogwarts

Although Louis knows very well that the girl (boy) is secretly paying attention to you, which is one of the three major illusions in life. Then when you rack your brains to choose a good name for your child, you will find that she (he) has quietly left. for a long time.

However, at this time, Louis was certain that Professor McGonagall was pretending to be casual and quietly looking at him.

"Does she...still have concerns about my Obscurial status?"

"Maybe!"

She knows better than anyone else how stable the Obscurus stored in the spiritual world is. Although Louis feels that Professor McGonagall's worries are a bit unnecessary, she is indeed a responsible deputy dean who can think about the safety of all teachers and students at Hogwarts. Long, isn't it?

Then, all the first-year students, including Louis, followed Professor McGonagall to the sorting waiting room.

The space inside is a bit small, maybe because there are more first-year students this time, so it seems a bit crowded.

Louis, who didn't like physical contact with strangers, originally wanted to use a magic shield to create a space. Unexpectedly, the loyal twins blocked him in advance and secured a large area in the corner for him. space.

"George, Fred, thank you very much." Louis smiled at the twins in front of him.

"Shh..."

George put his fingers in front of his lips, and then Louis heard Fred remind him in a low voice: "Percy often says that Professor McGonagall is a very strict person. We'd better listen to what she has to say first and talk later!"

"it is good!"

Louis nodded slightly, and then Professor McGonagall followed the usual practice of previous years and said to all the first-year students:

"Here, I welcome you on behalf of Hogwarts. The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you take your seats, you first need to determine which college you will enter..."

A brief introduction to Hogwarts accommodation, branches, and the House Cup was given to the new students.

After introducing the information about Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall asked all the freshmen to come forward so that she could use the descaling spell and the drying spell to clean the water stains and mud on the freshmen's bodies.

When Louis and the twins walked along the line to Professor McGonagall, they saw that the three of them were not stained by any water stains or mud. Professor McGonagall just smiled at Louis and nodded, letting all the freshmen wait for the time being. He left the room.

Seeing Professor McGonagall leaving, brothers George and Fred first secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then they looked at Louis and asked in unison:

"Louis, do you know how to sort?"

"do not know."

Of course, Louis couldn't reveal the secret in advance, so he shook his head and smiled: "Maybe some kind of test is needed. Didn't you ask Percy before you came?"

"We asked, but Percy didn't say anything." George said slightly helplessly.

"Moreover, his expression is mysterious, very similar to what he looked like before we played the prank!" Fred analyzed calmly.

After saying that, they both looked at Louis and asked: "Louis, we all want to be sorted into Gryffindor, what about you?"

"Me? Whatever you want!"

"Don't you want to come to Gryffindor with us?"

"Of course I would."

Louis said casually: "But I think... the possibility of me being assigned to Laclauwen is higher."

"Well, that makes sense!"

Feeling that Louis' analysis made sense, George and Fred looked at each other regretfully, and were about to continue saying something to Louis, but they suddenly saw Professor McGonagall returning and hurriedly closed their mouths.

After returning, Professor McGonagall first asked the freshmen to line up, and then led the first-year freshmen into the auditorium.

The auditorium of Hogwarts was very large, and Louis felt that it would not be a problem to accommodate thousands of people. There were long tables filled with students in all directions, from the four colleges, and above them there were dots of candlelight floating, illuminating filled the entire auditorium.

As the Sorting Hat's peculiar song ended, Professor McGonagall in front of the freshmen team took out a piece of parchment and began to call the names. The freshmen whose names were called would accept the Sorting Hat's arrangement under the spotlight.

And the first person named by Professor McGonagall to be sorted was none other than Louis. Louis happened to know it was the Anne who crossed the lake by boat with him and the twins.

"Anne Hastur!"

Suddenly being called by Professor McGonagall, Anne was extremely nervous. Her originally fair face instantly turned red. She stumbled out of the crowd, went to sit down and put on the sorting hat.

After just a few seconds, the Sorting Hat made a decision and sorted Anne to Hufflepuff, to the cheers of all the Hufflepuff students.

Immediately afterwards, the second person named by Professor McGonagall was also familiar to Louis. It was the talkative black guy he met on the train.

Lee Jordan.

He was sorted into Gryffindor without any surprise, and while he got what he wanted, Louis was keenly aware of Percy cheering in the crowd.

But to be honest, I saw that the freshmen named by Professor McGonagall were assigned to various houses by the Sorting Hat. Even Louis, who had limited knowledge of the HP world, knew what the secret of the Sorting Hat was, but the fate of that kind of sorting was so important. The feeling of being controlled by others really made Louis feel very uncomfortable.

Not to mention that the person in charge of the sorting is not a person, but a hat that can read other people's thoughts.

Slytherin often accepts so-called pure-blood wizards. What you need to be assigned to Laclauwen is wisdom, or a desire for knowledge.

Those who were assigned to Gryffindor said that it was hard to say that they had courage, and that it was hard to say that they had a certain recklessness in their temperament.

Hufflepuff...

Louis believed that the remaining students were often accepted.

They went through the Black Lake with high expectations, but were told that you are not brave enough, smart enough, or pure-blooded enough, but you really love magic. This made Louis feel that it was a gentle and tolerant academy, and he had a good impression. surface.

Moreover, the students assigned there can also do very well. For example, the Hogwarts representative selected by the Goblet of Fire in the HP movie is a student from Hufflepuff.

Therefore, if the power of sorting can be in his own hands, Louis, who is born in a Muggle family, will first pass Slytherin, followed by Gryffindor who is inconsistent with his character, and finally pass Raven and Hufflepuff. Choose from among the colleges.

of course.

If there were no accidents, just like what Louis said to the twins earlier, he believed that since he was extremely thirsty for knowledge, he would be more likely to be assigned to Laclauwen.

However...

Is there really no surprise?

Hope it!

Following George and Fred, they were sorted into Gryffindor by the Sorting Hat. Louis suddenly heard Professor McGonagall calling his name. He walked slowly towards the Sorting Hat and secretly manipulated his magic power to use his own magic. Skill: Mental barrier to prevent the Sorting Hat from peeking into your thoughts.

However, almost the moment Louis put on the Sorting Hat, the Sorting Hat shouted without hesitation:

"Gryffindor!"

then.

Taking off the Sorting Hat with some confusion, Louis saw the two brothers George and Fred cheering heartily on the Gryffindor table. Even Percy looked excited and wanted to drag him into the situation. Sitting in Lanffindor's seat.

And then.

Louis slowly shifted his gaze and looked at the teacher's seat aside. He saw Dumbledore, who looked satisfied, and suddenly winked at him mischievously.

That's like saying...

"Is it unexpected? Are you happy?"
