Hogwarts: I act like a boss in front of Hermione

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the car and we will take you to school." An announcement that it was about to arrive sounded in the carriage.

"Pack your luggage, we are getting off the car." Noel said to the three people who were still chatting.

"OK" x3

Looking at Harry who was busy, Noel shook his head slightly.

At this time, the little wizard had already walked out of the box, and the aisle became crowded. Harry and Ron quickly packed up the remaining snacks, left the box and followed the flow of people in the aisle towards the exit.

"Noel, let's go out too, I saw Lavender and the others." After saying that, Hermione pulled Noel and walked out. Lavender is the girl Hermione met just now when she went out, and she is also a new student this year.

"Hermione, sometimes don't be so anxious. In this case, we can wait until there are fewer people before leaving. The school will not expel you just because you were the last one to get off the bus." Half-jokingly, Noel was still attracted by Hermione Drawn closer to the crowd.

……

After getting out of the car, Noel found that most of the new students had gathered around Hagrid.

"Are there any more first-year students? Come to me quickly. Watch the soles of your feet, okay! First-year students, follow me." Hagrid's rough and loud voice sounded again.

Following Hagrid, Noel and his party passed through a forest and crossed a narrow path to a black lake. On the other side of the lake stood a majestic castle on a high hillside.

"Is that school?" Hermione asked Noel beside her.

"Yes."

"How do we get there?" someone asked.

"We will go there by boat, with a maximum of four people in each boat!" Hagrid said back to the first-year students.

Noel and Hermione found an empty boat, and the boy named Neville followed them holding a toad.

"It seems you have found your toad. Where was it found?" Noel asked Neville.

"Well, when we got out of the car, Senior Percy found it on the luggage rack and handed it to me." Neville held the toad in his hands and said to Noel.

"My name is Noel Black, what's yours?"

"Neville, Neville Longbottom" Neville said a little shyly.

"Hermione Granger, you have to watch your toad and don't let it run around." Hermione also introduced herself to the boy who had been holding the toad.

"Uh-huh!"

Neville nodded sheepishly.

As they talked, the boat began to move forward. Everyone was silent, staring at the tall and magnificent castle reaching into the sky. The castle seemed to tower above their heads, which was daunting.

Passing through a vine covering the cliff, we came to a hidden entrance. They entered the entrance, followed a dark tunnel to the bottom of the castle, and finally arrived at a place that resembled a dock below.

……

"Neville, where's your toad!" Hermione couldn't help but say after seeing that Neville didn't have the precious pet in his hand after getting off the boat.

"Ah! My toad is gone again." Neville said in a panic, his eyes wandering around trying to find his toad.

"Hey! Look, is this your toad?" Hagrid handed Neville the toad he had just found while checking the empty ship.

"Thank you, thank you very much." Neville stretched out his arms and took the toad ecstatically.

Neville and Toad once again became the laughing stock of the new students, and the ones who laughed at Neville the most were undoubtedly the Malfoys.

After bidding farewell to this episode, Noel and the first-year students climbed up a tunnel under the leadership of Hagrid and passed through a grassy field under the shadow of the castle. The group finally arrived at the gate of the castle.

Hagrid stepped forward and knocked on the door. The door slowly opened, and a tall witch wearing an emerald green robe appeared in front of them, with a slightly serious expression. Noel recognized at a glance that this was Professor McGonagall who took him to Diagon Alley.

"First-year student, Professor McGonagall." Hagrid stepped forward and said.

"Thank you, Hagrid. Leave it to me to pick you up when you get here."

……

"Welcome to Hogwarts!" Professor McGonagall said, "The opening party is about to begin, but before you enter the auditorium and take your seats, you must first determine which house you belong to.

The sorting ceremony is a very solemn ceremony, because for the next seven years, your college will be like your home at Hogwarts.

You will attend classes with other students in the college, live together in the college dormitories, and spend your free time together in the college common room. "

"The names of the four houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has its own glorious history and has produced outstanding wizards.

During your time at Hogwarts, your outstanding performance will earn your house extra points, while any violations will cause your house to lose points.

At the end of the year, the House with the highest score receives the House Cup, which is a very high honor. I hope that no matter which college you are assigned to, you can bring glory to the college. "

She looked at the new student who was listening to her words attentively. Professor McGonagall's serious face revealed a smile.

"In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of all the teachers and students of the school. I suggest you dress up and look energetic while waiting."

Her eyes focused on Ron's dark nose. Harry nervously smoothed the dull hair on his head.

"You guys wait here. I'll pick you up over there. Please keep quiet." After finishing speaking, Professor McGonagall entered the auditorium.

Noel looked around at the new students. Harry and Ron were discussing how the school could sort students into the houses they were suitable for, and Hermione was reciting some words, basically some magic spells.

Noel jokingly told her before that the sorting ceremony was based on everyone's mastery of the magic spells in the textbook. Hermione was so hurt that she had to recite spells every day for the rest of the day.

The three Malfoy brothers were staring at Noel. After being noticed by Noel, they collectively looked away.

‘Three cowards, please train them well in the future, otherwise they won’t be able to accomplish anything. ’ Noel has already formulated the educational policy for these three brothers in the next seven years.

It didn't take long before Professor McGonagall came to them again.

"Now, you all line up and come in with me."

The freshmen lined up obediently. They followed Professor McGonagall through a door and entered the gorgeous auditorium. Students from other grades sat at four long tables, watching the new students as they walked in.

Professor McGonagall took them to the front of the auditorium and asked them to line up in a row facing all the senior students. Noel seemed to hear Hermione mumbling something, probably saying that the starry sky in the dome was a kind of magic...

Out of curiosity, Noel cast his sights on this "starry sky". 'Is it a kind of imaging magic that records the external starry sky and then displays it on the dome...' Because of the Jianji Ancient Eyes, Noel began to conduct research on this magic. Study it.

Until Professor McGonagall said that the sorting ceremony was about to begin, and read out the name "Hannah Abbott".

A girl with two golden ponytails stepped forward, sat on four legs and put on the sorting hat.

"Hufflepuff!" After a moment's pause, the Sorting Hat called out the name of a house.

Warm applause came out from the right, from the senior Hufflepuff students.

"Susan Bones!"

"Hufflepuffs!"

"Terry Butt!"

"Ravenclaw!"

……

Whenever the sorting hat assigns a freshman to a house, the senior students in that house will burst into warm applause, with waves of applause coming from different directions.

"Noel Black!"

After hearing Professor McGonagall chanting his name, Noel calmly walked to the Sorting Hat and sat on the four-legged stool under everyone's gaze.

"Don't be nervous, Black!" Professor McGonagall said softly to Noel, and put the sorting hat on Noel's head.

"..." Sorting Hat.

"..." Noel

After more than 5 minutes, the Sorting Hat broke the silence and his voice sounded in Noel's mind.

"I can't sense your inner thoughts. Can you tell me why."

"I want to know, but I won't tell you." In fact, Noel was a little nervous, fearing that the Sorting Hat would get some of his secrets.

"...Then I can't assign you to any house. I don't know which house you are suitable for." After a few seconds of pause, the sound of the sorting hat sounded again.

"Just listen to me and sort me into Slytherin. My surname is Black. If you sort me into other houses, I think one of your colleagues will keep annoying you in the next few months." Noel He directly stated the college he was going to.

Although Slytherin House has a bad reputation, it is often marginalized by students from other houses. But the students of Slytherin House are undoubtedly the most united to others. Noel believes that he can train all the students of Slytherin House to become his supporters in the next few years.

"Black? Okay. I don't want to mess with that person, as it will affect my sleep. Slytherin is indeed a good choice. Your elders are basically Slytherin students. But it seems that one of them went to Gryffindor. "More." The Sorting Hat muttered.

"Hurry up, I'm almost stiff." In fact, after being stared at by so many people for such a long time, Noel could no longer resist.

"Slytherin!"

After hearing the sound of the Sorting Hat, the Slytherin House table, which had not applauded until now, burst into the warmest applause.

When they heard that Noel was sorted into Slytherin, the Malfoy brothers paled. After all, they want to be sorted into Slytherin. If they really go to Slytherin, how will they get along with Noel in the future.

To this day they have not forgotten the pain in their stomachs.

"Why was he sorted into Slytherin? I thought he was going back to Ravenclaw. I hope he doesn't become a dark wizard in the future." Ron murmured.

But Harry still heard his voice. I felt even more nervous.

But Hermione looked at Noel's back with a worried look. Fortunately, Noel gave Hermione a reassuring look when he sat down at the Slytherin table.

"Millicent Burst!"

"Slytherin!"

This was the second student who was sorted into Slytherin House, sitting opposite Noel.

……

"Hermione Granger!" Hermione was called, almost jogging to the four-legged stool.

"Gryffindor!"

Hermione excitedly ran to the Gryffindor table and shook hands with Percy, Fred, and George. Because there was Hufflepuff between Gryffindor and Slytherin, Hermione could not speak to Noel. She could only tell Noel with her expression and eyes with her uncontrollable joy that she had successfully entered the college she hoped for.

Noel also nodded to him, only to receive a flat-mouthed look from Hermione.

Noel also knew what Hermione meant and blamed him for tricking her into reciting the spell before.

The sorting ceremony continues...
