Unseal at Hogwarts

At Professor McGonagall's urging, the freshmen moved forward one by one and were sorted into different houses.

"Mia Campbell!"

A girl with short black hair and a very cold look stepped forward.

Tom had the illusion that the girl's eyes glanced at him the moment her sight was obscured by the Sorting Hat.

"Gryffindor!" Not long after, the Sorting Hat shouted the result.

The Gryffindor table burst into loud applause.

The girl took off the Sorting Hat calmly and walked towards the Gryffindor table with cat-like steps.

Before sitting down, the girl looked at the Slytherin table again, her eyes locked on Tom coldly.

This time it's not an illusion.

Tom is sure.

"Hmph!" Malfoy snorted again.

"It's really baffling." Harry pushed Tom, "Why is this Malfoy targeting you so much today."

Tom spread his hands and said that he didn't know either.

The ranks of freshmen gradually shortened.

"Natalia Bova!"

It was the red-haired girl's turn.

"It's not a Weasley, huh, but a Muggle wizard." Malfoy said.

"Have Muggle wizards offended you, Malfoy?" Harry asked with a sneer. .

"Slytherin!" the Sorting Hat quickly came to a conclusion.

"Another one... Since when did Slytherin let Muggle wizards come in at will?" Malfoy was obviously dissatisfied.

Next to him, Pansy Parkinson glanced sideways at Tom and curled her lips.

Across the long table, Blaise Zabini looked like he was watching a good show.

Malfoy's criticism did not anger Tom, but Harry.

"Don't make me point my wand at you here, Malfoy." Harry turned his head angrily, his eyes full of anger.

Tom patted Harry on the shoulder: "Don't argue with him, Harry. It's not like we don't know what kind of virtue Malfoy is."

Malfoy obviously heard what Tom said and glared at both of them angrily and said nothing.

Natalia Bova walked over briskly, her bouncing steps making the Slytherin girls tut in disgust.

The boys didn't have a good look on this Muggle wizard. They paid attention to the subsequent sorting with indifferent expressions, and they didn't even want to look at Natalia Bova.

Natalia Bova may be optimistic by nature. She ignored the indifference at the Slytherin table and sat directly in the empty seat next to Tom.

"Hey, hello!" Natalia Bova warmly extended her hand to Tom, "I'm Natalia Bova. I'm glad to be in the same college as you."

"Well," Tom kept his situation in mind and was not in the mood to deal with this slightly enthusiastic new student. He just nodded slightly, "Welcome."

"That's not your place, freshman." Malfoy pointed across the long table and said, "Daphne, move this freshman."

Daphne across from her quickly stood up and moved to the side with a look of disgust on her face.

Natalia Bova blinked innocently, stuck out her tongue at Tom, and then sat down obediently.

"Pretentious," Mafour commented disdainfully.

The sorting ceremony ended quickly, and Tom's name was not on the list of new students.

Tom didn't know whether to feel relieved or panicked.

He looked towards Professor McGonagall, who was putting away the sorting hat and didn't notice Tom's gaze.

Dumbledore, on the other hand, raised his glass to Tom.

Now the situation is clear.

Tom thought that the school must be aware of his situation and understand it.

Although he hasn't fully understood the situation yet, he doesn't have to worry about some of his unreasonable actions arousing the school's suspicion. However, he should still be careful when using the Clow card. He doesn't think that "he" has not concealed this well. Little secret.

Tom was relieved.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and Tom ate with great satisfaction - he would have been even more satisfied if Natalia Bova hadn't been looking at him from time to time, and without Malfoy's uncanny expression.

"Okay," Dumbledore stood up, and the auditorium instantly became quiet. "Now that we have eaten and drank enough, I would like to remind everyone again that I have some announcements to make."

The sound of strong winds could be heard outside the auditorium, and the heavy rain pounded on the windows.

"Mr. Filch, the administrator, would like me to tell you that this year, several more items are prohibited in the castle, including the Screaming Yo-Yo, the Wolf Fang Saucer and the Combo Boomerang. The total list is about four hundred and thirty-seven. Item, can be seen in Mr. Filch's office."

Tom noticed that when he said this, the corners of Dumbledore's mouth twitched a few times.

"As before, students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest, and in Hogsmeade, students below the third grade are not allowed to visit."

"At the same time, I would also like to regret to inform you that we will not be holding the College Cup Quidditch Tournament this year."

The auditorium suddenly became noisy.

"What?" Harry opened his mouth in disbelief.

Malfoy gave Harry a triumphant look. The entire Slytherin table, except for Harry, Tom, and Natalia Bova, who had been looking at Tom with her chin propped up, everyone else seemed very calm, as if they had known the news for a long time.

But it was different in other colleges. They were all chattering, and some were stunned and speechless.

At this time, the door of the auditorium opened with a "bump", attracting everyone's attention.

A man wrapped in a black traveling cloak and holding a long cane stood at the gate.

He took off his hood, shook out his long gray hair, and walked toward the staff table.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but be glued to him.

"Kick, kick," the man limped, and with every step he took, a hollow voice echoed in the silent auditorium.

Another bolt of lightning flashed across, and Harry hissed.

It was the first time that Tom saw such a distinctive face.

Not to mention how impressive that scarred face is, the blue eyes that are as big as coins and keep rolling around on this face are enough to make people take a breath.

"Please allow me to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor," Dumbledore's cheerful voice broke the silence in the auditorium, "Professor Moody."

Only then did Tom notice that Professor Quirrell's seat was originally empty. It was not until Professor Moody sat on it that the staff table was filled with people.

He turned his attention to Professor Snape.

Snape's face was expressionless and his eyes were empty.

Dumbledore cleared his throat: "As I just said, in the next few months, we will have the privilege of hosting a very exciting event - an event that has not been held for more than a century. I am very happy I would like to inform everyone that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year."
