Weasley is our king at Hogwarts

Chapter 12 Sorting Hat

Fred and George looked at the source of the sound. It was a huge figure with a broad back, long thick black hair, and a dark green coat that almost drooped to the ground.

The giant turned to face Fred and George, holding an oil lamp that illuminated the huge nose on his face.

He opened his mouth and shouted, "Hurry up, don't be shy, freshmen, come this way!"

"Wow!" George was amazed, "He looks like a big brown bear standing up!"

Fred calmed down, knowing that there was no point in continuing like this, so he might as well follow Hagrid.

As the saying goes, when the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight, and there will be another village with dark trees and bright flowers. Just take it one step at a time.

Many first-year students got off the train and followed Hagrid forward, like a mother duck leading a group of ducklings. Fred and George walked at the front.

This is a narrow downhill road, and the lights in the town gradually disappear. Everything in front of you becomes pitch black. Only the oil lamp in Hagrid's hand at the front can be seen emitting a faint yellow light.

From time to time, a child would slip and fall and be helped up by the children next to him. No child said a word, only the sound of wind blowing leaves on both sides of the path, "rustling~".

After walking for a long time, Hagrid shouted excitedly to the back: "We'll be there soon, kids, this is your first time seeing Hogwarts!"

Hogwarts!The Hogwarts that I miss so much!Fred turned the last corner and came to a lake with dozens of boats floating on it. Each boat had a small oil lamp hanging on it, illuminating the shore.

He looked up, and on the other side of the lake, under a bright crescent moon, was a huge towering castle!There are countless spiers above the castle, with small windows with dazzling lights on them.

This is the only magic school in the UK, Hogwarts!

Hagrid got on a small boat alone, and then shouted: "Everyone get on the boat, each boat can hold 4 people!"

Fred was a little excited and imitated Hagrid and climbed into a small boat. George and Li Jordan followed.

After all the children on the shore got on the boat, Hagrid straightened his body, facing the direction of Hogwarts, and shouted: "Forward!"

Suddenly Fred felt his body tilt backward uncontrollably, and then returned to normal.

Seeing the streaks of water under the boat being pushed aside by the boat, Fred realized that the boat he was sitting on had actually begun to slide towards Hogwarts!

Dozens of small boats broke the calm lake surface, and the water was turbulent, sailing forward together.

Everyone was quiet, and still no one spoke. Fred was wondering if everyone was as excited as he was, but there seemed to be a big stone pressing on his chest. He wanted to say something but couldn't. He didn't know. say what.

After a long time, all the boats finally entered a long house at the foot of the castle. In the middle of the house was a wide waterway, big enough for two boats to park side by side.

Hagrid got off the boat first and stood on the shore next to the waterway and shouted: "Okay, come down, kids, we are here."

Many children climbed out of the boat and followed Hagrid out of the house from the shores on both sides of the waterway.

Outside the house is a wide staircase with a steep slope, which leads directly to the huge castle. Oil lamps are lit on both sides of the staircase, illuminating the stairs.

Fred followed Hagrid and climbed step after step for an unknown amount of time. Fred was panting, and finally a huge oak door appeared in front of him.There are four huge hourglasses standing on both sides of the gate, topped by four different animal statues: a lion, an eagle, a badger and a long snake spitting out letters.

The hourglass is filled with green, blue, red, and yellow sand respectively. Judging from the height of the sand inside, it seems that the blue sand of the eagle is the highest now.

Standing in front of the gate was a tall black-haired witch. She was wearing a pointed witch's hat and a shiny emerald green robe. There was not much expression on her face, and she seemed to be very old-fashioned.

Hagrid walked up to her and said, "This is the first year, Professor McGonagall."

"Thank you, Hagrid, leave the rest to me." Professor McGonagall nodded.

Then Professor McGonagall looked down at the little wizards on the stairs and said, "Welcome to Hogwarts, everyone. The opening banquet will begin soon. Before that, you have to perform the sorting ceremony."

Professor McGonagall looked at some of the little wizards with confused faces, and continued: "We have four houses at Hogwarts, namely Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. ;The branching ceremony is to assign you to these colleges, and you will live and study together with classmates from the same college."

Then Professor McGonagall turned his head, pointed to the funnels next to the door and said, "Did you see these four funnels? They represent the four colleges respectively. The height of the sand inside is the score of each college. The higher the score, the higher the score." The higher the college’s score.”

Professor McGonagall turned back and continued to look at the little wizards and said: "Your actions will bring plus and minus points to your college. At the end of this school year, whichever college has the highest score will be the winner." Winning the College Cup! This is the highest praise for students of a college in an academic year! I hope everyone can do their part for their future colleges."

"Okay, that's it. Everyone, line up in two rows and follow me. We're going in." Professor McGonagall straightened her clothes, straightened her witch hat, and opened the huge oak door.

The dazzling light shone in Fred's eyes, making him unable to open his eyes. After finally adapting to the bright light, Fred followed a queue and walked in.

This is a huge auditorium, big enough to accommodate four rows of bottomless dining tables!The four rows of dining tables were filled with students wearing uniforms of black uniforms.

Countless flickering white candles were suspended above the four long rows of dining tables, and it was these candles that illuminated the entire auditorium.

Looking up further, the roof of the auditorium is actually transparent!You can see the bright crescent moon and a few gray clouds hovering under the moon.

Professor McGonagall walked between the dining tables with two rows of first-year wizards. Hundreds of pairs of eyes at the tables were staring at these little wizards.

Fred felt like his heart was tingling, what was supposed to come was coming.

In the innermost part of the auditorium are the seats of school professors. There are male professors and female professors sitting at the high tables. The most conspicuous one is an old man with white beard and hair in the middle, wearing a pair of crescent-like eyes and a kind expression. Looking at the young wizards who came in, Fred knew that this was Dumbledore.

Professor McGonagall finally brought the little wizards to the front of the professor's seat. There was a small stool with a wrinkled hat that must have been dark. If you look carefully, those wrinkled stripes seemed to be its eyes. And the mouth!
