Snakes at Hogwarts

"You don't know." Prefect Farley raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Hat embarrassment is a very rare group of people. To put it simply, when a new student puts on the Sorting Hat, if the Sorting Hat takes more than 10 minutes and still can't decide which house he should be assigned to, then this person can Being called a hater."

"Is this rare?"

"Of course, it's quite rare, because the Sorting Hat can easily see through a person's thoughts. It's very difficult for him to struggle with it for 10 minutes like just now. The last time the Sorting Hat appeared was 45 years ago. "

It turns out that's the case. No wonder those people pay so much attention to themselves and Hermione.

Hat embarrassment

This name is so apt.

It is really embarrassing for the Sorting Hat to be unable to decide a student's destination for a long time.

The discussion in the auditorium stopped abruptly after Dumbledore tapped the silver goblet in front of him.

He looked towards the long Slytherin table with interest. His blue eyes, obscured by the half-moon glasses on the bridge of his nose, made it difficult to understand his inner thoughts.

It seemed that Lao Deng had noticed him.

unlucky

"Next, Neville Longbottom."

As the sorting ceremony continued, the brief noise caused by Andros just now was like a stone thrown into the lake, causing a ripple before falling to the bottom of the lake.

.....

Perhaps because he was ashamed of being delayed for too long in Andros, the subsequent sorting ceremony progressed very quickly.

Even Neville, who troubled the Sorting Hat in the original book, was sorted into Gryffindor in only a short time.

Of course, the latter still lived up to expectations and completed an embarrassing thing that made all the teachers and students laugh. Because he was so nervous, he actually walked to the Gryffindor table together wearing the sorting hat.

Looking at Neville running back with a red face amidst the roar of laughter from the students around him, Andros couldn't help but grin.

Neville is really cute and silly.

...

"Next, Draco Malfoy."

A pale boy with a thin chin and silver-gray hair strutted out of the crowd. He had very smooth platinum-blonde hair.

He glanced at the hat with disgust, as if it was some disgusting and dirty thing, and almost as soon as he touched the hat, the Sorting Hat's shouts spread throughout the Great Hall.

"Slytherin"

Is this the proud little dragon?

It certainly doesn't look very flattering.

Xiao Long seemed to be very satisfied with the Sorting Hat's understanding. He returned the Sorting Hat to Professor McGonagall, and then walked towards the Slytherin table in a swagger.

All the Slytherins stood up and applauded, and Andros also stood up very gregariously to welcome Draco Malfoy.

The young master of the Malfoy family

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.

At this point in time, the Malfoy family is probably the most influential family in the British wizarding world. Draco's father, Lucius Malfoy, is a very outstanding Slytherin.

Not only did he cleverly remove himself from the purge list when Voldemort fell and the building was about to collapse, he also knew how to win people's hearts.

From the Minister of Magic, to the Wizengamot jurors, to the Aurors in the Auror office, he has arranged his spies.

The fall of the Dark Lord not only did not bring about the decline of the Malfoy family, but it also became stronger because it lost the competition from several other pure-blood families.

"Welcome, welcome to Slytherin." Opposite Andros, Prefect Farley shook hands with Malfoy and chatted warmly, and then led him to the empty seat beside him.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Farley. I heard my father say that he told me that the Farley family has always been our best friends."

It seemed that Malfoy had already known this Slytherin senior before he entered school.This is normal. The British wizarding world is so big, but here, the social circle of pure-blood nobles is even smaller.

Except for the Weasley family, who are not popular with pure-bloods, most pure-blood wizards have a small but stable social circle. They regularly hold banquets in the mansion, and then use it to engage in some dirty or dirty things. trade.

It is also normal for their children to know people of their own age.

"Of course, my father and I have always believed that under the leadership of Chief Malfoy, we can achieve more benefits for us."

Hearing such words, Draco was undoubtedly even happier. In his eyes, his father was the most powerful wizard in the world.

"It's a no-brainer."

"Let me introduce you, this is Andros Slobach, who has just become a new hat-trick, and this is Draco Malfoy, the sole heir of the Malfoy family."

"Nice to meet you." Andros reached out his hand.

Perhaps because he was also a Slytherin, Malfoy did not act particularly arrogant. He shook hands with Andros and then asked with interest.

"What's it like to be a hater?"

"I don't think you'll like that feeling."

"Why does it feel bad to be the center of attention?"

"No, because becoming a hater means that you have to listen to a long-winded old hat talking in your ear for 10 minutes. Merlin's beard almost drove me crazy when I came down." Andros's words made Mal amused. Fu laughed.

"Aha, you're so right. I really don't understand why they use this thing to sort us. It's really dirty." After saying that, Malfoy glanced at the Sorting Hat in disgust.

"I must wash my hair well tonight. I really can't believe that I would wear such a dirty hat."

I didn't realize it, but Malfoy also has mysophobia.

After a few casual words, Andros stopped talking to Malfoy.

He needed to have a good relationship with Malfoy, but that didn't mean Andros needed to blindly please him.

What's more, Malfoy's attention has already been focused on the upcoming sorting ceremony.

Following his gaze, Andros easily spotted the familiar figure in the crowd, Harry Potter.

This little boy with messy black hair was standing there timidly. His thin body made him look inconspicuous in the crowd.

If most of the freshmen hadn't already completed the sorting ceremony, it would have been difficult to spot Andros in the crowd.

Malfoy, on the other hand, was staring directly at Potter.

The two of them are really in love with each other.

Looking at Xiaolong's gnashing of teeth, Andros thought with evil intentions in his heart.

Why do you say that sentence, just because I looked at you one more time in the crowd?

If I remember correctly, Draco originally wanted to make friends with Harry, but in the end, love turned into hatred, and they began to love and kill each other for seven years.

"Harry Potter" Professor McGonagall finally read the name.

"Is it that Potter?"

"Otherwise, are there other Potters?"

The students' discussion rang out again in the auditorium. They stretched their necks to see clearly what this legendary savior looked like.

This made Harry even more nervous. He couldn't wait to walk forward and put on the Sorting Hat, as if he wanted the wide brim of the Sorting Hat to block people's curious eyes.

After almost another four or five minutes, the atmosphere in the auditorium reached its peak with the shout of the Sorting Hat.

"Gryffindor"

"Damn it!" Seeing Harry walking towards the Gryffindor table excitedly, Draco knocked on the table angrily.

"Why, you two have a conflict?"

"How dare he refuse the hand of friendship extended by the Malfoy family, I will make him regret it."

The next sorting was not interesting either. Lisa Dupin became a new student in Ravenclaw, and Ron Weasley, that clumsy idiot, was also sorted into Gryffindor as he wished.

After the last new student, Blaise Chabini, was sorted into Slytherin, Professor McGonagall collected the roll of parchment and left the great hall with the sorting hat and high stool.

Dumbledore stood up, a kind smile on his face.

"Welcome, welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start the new school year." Without using the amplifying spell, Dumbledore's loud voice still spread throughout the entire auditorium.

It’s hard to imagine that this is the sound that a 110-year-old man can make.

Come on, Lao Deng, finish talking quickly and start the dinner. I'm going to starve to death.

Andros touched his flat belly. He couldn't wait to fill it all with delicious food.

I just feel sorry for Ivar, let me try these delicacies for you first.
