Hogwarts Rebel

Chapter 5 Sorting Ceremony

There are small boats docked on the shore of the Black Lake.

After Hagrid shouted to the little wizards: "There can be no more than four people in each boat, please slow down when you get on the boat and don't fight." He took the lead in boarding the boat and gave everyone a demonstration.

There were a few little wizards who didn't know whether they should be called bold or timid, but they actually regarded Hagrid as "a person" and wanted to get on the ship with them, but they obviously had no place.

Molan looked at the cute little wizards and smiled, then boarded a small boat in front of him. Hermione followed behind Molan. Harry and Ron originally wanted to come, but Daphne pulled Hannah and stopped. Boarded the boat in front of them.

They were stunned, and then looked at him with expressions of abandonment by Mo Lan.

With no choice, Harry and Ron pulled Neville, who was at a loss, onto another boat.

"Is everyone on board?"

Hagrid shouted loudly.And looked towards the shore, "Then, let's set off."

Hagrid took out his little pink umbrella and waved it, and the boats sailed towards the huge castle in front of them.

Mo Lan saw the three little witches on the boat talking and laughing with each other, so she turned her head and stared at the huge castle high into the sky like most of the little witches.

Soon, as they approached the cliff on which the castle stood, it seemed to tower above them.

"Heads down!" Hagrid yelled as the first boats approached the cliff.

Everyone lowered their heads, including Mo Lan. "Although Hagrid is much taller than these little wizards even if he lowers his head, if he really knocks something if he doesn't lower his head, who should he talk to?" Mo Lan thought to herself.

The boat took them through the ivy curtain that covered the cliff face to the secluded open entrance.They followed a dark tunnel that seemed to lead beneath the castle, and finally arrived at a place that resembled an underground dock, and then climbed up onto a ground of gravel and pebbles.

Under the leadership of Hagrid, the freshmen climbed up a tunnel in the rock, and finally arrived on a flat, damp grassland in the shadow of the castle.

They climbed a flight of stone steps and gathered in front of a huge oaken door.

"Is everyone here?" Hagrid first looked at the freshmen, then raised his huge fist and knocked on the castle door three times.

The door suddenly opened, and a tall black-haired witch wearing emerald green robes stood in front of the door.She looked very serious.

"First-year freshman, Professor McGonagall," said Hagrid.

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

Professor McGonagall opened the door wide, revealing a luxurious marble staircase that led directly to the upper floor. The surrounding stone walls were covered with blazing torches, and the ceiling was so high that the top was almost invisible.

The first-year students followed Professor McGonagall as they walked along the stone floor. The buzzing sounds of hundreds of people came from the door on the right.

But Professor McGonagall did not take them directly into the hall. Instead, he turned a corner and walked to a small empty room at the other end of the hall.

Everyone rushed in, rubbing shoulders and huddling together, staring nervously at everything around them.

"First of all, welcome to Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall began to lecture: "The opening banquet is about to begin, but before we go to the restaurant to sit down, we first need all of you to confirm which college you are going to enter. "

"The Sorting is an important ceremony because your house is like your home at Hogwarts while you are at school.

You will take classes with other students in the college, stay in the college dormitories together, 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 witches and wizards.

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

At the end of the year, the college with the highest score will receive the College Cup, which is a high honor.

I hope that no matter which college you are assigned to, you can bring glory to the college. "

"In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of all the teachers and students of the school. I suggest you relieve your nervousness and clean up your appearance." After speaking, his eyes focused on the stain on Ron's nose and Harry's messy hair. Stayed for a while.

"I will pick you up when the other side is ready." Professor McGonagall turned and walked into the hall. She turned around and said: "While waiting, please keep quiet."

But just as Professor McGonagall left the room, everyone started buzzing.

"How can they accurately assign us to which house?" Harry asked Ron. As soon as this question was asked, the voices around him became a little lower.

"Some kind of test, right? Fred said it would hurt us a lot." Seeing his new friend's face turn pale, Ron quickly added: "But I think he was joking."

The little wizards around him subconsciously ignored the second half of Ron's words, and everyone felt a little uneasy.

"Yes, my cousin also said that he would perform a magic in public." A tall and thin boy echoed Ron.

As a result, Ron was frightened by the boy's words. He was wondering if Fred was serious this time and didn't lie to him?

Harry's heart sank to the bottom, magic?But he still doesn't know any magic, and he regrets not previewing the textbook during the vacation.He looked around anxiously, but most of the little wizards were in the same situation as him, and everyone was in danger.

Hermione was the only one on the side who was mumbling words, reciting the spells she had learned quickly, as if she was still unsure about which spell she would use later. Harry tried his best not to listen to her recitation, but to think of something and subconsciously look at it. She turned to Mo Lan and saw that he was also silent. She was already nervous and her palms were sweating.

Then, after seeing Daphne and Hannah asking each other to relax, Harry subconsciously looked at Ron again, and then started thinking wildly again.

It wasn't that Mo Lan was nervous about the sorting ceremony. He already knew how the sorting would happen. He was just using Occlumency to hide his secrets about time travel, his abnormal behavior as a baby, and his aversion to pure blood.

Directly preventing the Sorting Hat from sensing his own emotions and thoughts would inevitably reveal that he had learned Occlumency. This would not be conducive to getting along with Legilimency masters such as Dumbledore and Snape, and Molan did not want to be enemies with them. , or in other words, all the people, things and things in Hogwarts, Mo Landu wants to protect them more.

Hiding the fact that she knows Occlumency is just to give herself a backup plan to prevent...

After all, Mo Lan has been in this world since he was born, and did not travel through time in a later period. The further back his memory goes to his childhood, the more abnormal it becomes compared to his peers.

An advanced Occlumency master can create a false memory to confuse and fill in the blank memory space or thought that is deliberately not allowed to be seen by others, thereby providing Legilimency. The master creates an impeccable "illusion".

But Molan's level 11 Occlumency is not yet able to achieve this level. Preventing the Sorting Hat from sensing thoughts and emotions will expose Occlumency. He can only selectively remove most of the relatively unimportant memories. Put it on the surface and delay time. After all, even an [-]-year-old child's memory cannot be known by the Sorting Hat in a short while.

Hope it can be fooled.

Of course, the worst case scenario would be to expose his Occlumency.

"Mo Lan, are you a little worried about the sorting?" Daphne wanted to comfort Mo Lan.

Mo Lan first looked at Daphne with some doubts, and then saw that Hannah was also worried about him, and then realized that the silent look when he used Occlumency just now, in their eyes, they mistakenly thought that he was worried about what would happen. The branch is worried.

"Daphne, Hannah, I forgot to tell you. I once heard the seniors at Hogwarts say that sorting is just a small test. There is no need to use magic and there is no danger, so don't be nervous." Lan said with a relaxed look.

Molan's voice was much louder when he spoke. He was not just talking to Daphne and Hannah.

When the little wizards around heard Mo Lan's words, their uneasy hearts gradually calmed down, and they all recognized this young man who used magic when he got off the bus at the platform.

Many little witches looked at the handsome boy in front of them. Compared with the panicked little wizards before, many little witches undoubtedly looked more outstanding. They asked the people around them about Mo Lan, and some even ran directly to Mo Lan.

Daphne looked at Molan being accosted by other little witches, and got angry and pulled Hannah away. Hermione, who had not been reciting the spell after hearing Molan said that magic was not required for the sorting, immediately saw the scene in front of her. Mo Lan was pulled to a corner. He was suddenly pulled over and looked at Hermione who seemed to be waiting for him to thank him. He was stunned. He felt helpless but still said thank you to Hermione seriously.

"No... um, Neville?" Hermione, who was about to accept Melan's thanks, looked at a boy hiding in the corner behind him.

Mo Lan followed Hermione's line of sight, turned around, and saw Neville in the corner, who seemed to have been saying something.

Only when he got closer did he hear clearly, "Don't be nervous, Neville, don't be nervous, be brave..." Was she cheering for herself? Mo Lan looked at the boy in front of her.

"Neville," Molan said, patting the boy's shoulder.

"Mo Lan, why are you here?" The boy turned around and saw that Mo Lan was at a loss.

"Do you want to believe me, Neville? Also believe in yourself, believe that you have the courage buried deep in your heart, and believe in me, you are the real Gryffindor!" Mo Lan extended his hand to the squatting Neville. Hand, looked into his eyes and said seriously.

"Yes, Neville, you are the bravest." Hermione also cheered for Neville.

"Thank you, Mo... Mo Lan, Hermione, thank you." Neville held Mo Lan's hand and thanked them constantly while choking.

At this time, a large group of ghosts suddenly emerged from the wall behind the young wizards. These pearly-white, translucent ghosts floated across the entire room. One of them, a chubby monk-like ghost, greeted the freshmen in a friendly manner.

"I hope you can be sorted into Hufflepuff! I used to study in that house." The fat monk said.

There are other ghosts who also want to say something.

However, Professor McGonagall is back.The ghosts were like a mouse meeting a cat. The moment she entered the door, they disappeared through the wall as fast as they could.

Professor McGonagall asked the new students to line up in single file, and then led them into the auditorium.

The auditorium of Hogwarts is also a dining hall, and it is extremely luxuriously decorated. The students are sitting around four long tables, with thousands of candles floating above the tables, and the cutlery and wine glasses on the tables are shining with gold.There is also a long table on the table at the top of the restaurant, which is where the teachers sit.The freshmen were brought to the table by Professor McGonagall and asked to line up in a row facing the entire school, with the other staff behind them.

Molan saw Professor Snape when he first came in, but he only saw Harry, or should I say Harry's eyes?

Mo Lan stared at him for a long time, and he stared at Harry for a long time.

It's not a strange emotion, it's just that Snape loved Lily deeply until the moment he died. Before that, he was willing to endure everyone's misunderstanding and silently protect Harry. This made Mo Lan a little moved, and he felt indifferent towards such a person. Lan couldn't dislike him and had a natural affection for him, because he didn't know if he could do it in his place, so he admired Professor Snape.

Shaking her head and no longer thinking about these things, Mo Lan turned her attention back to the sorting. The key now was to pass the Sorting Hat.

Professor McGonagall placed a four-legged stool in front of the first years. On the stool was a tattered pointed wizard's hat.The hat was patched and looked dirty.

"This is the Sorting Hat? It exists today because of the thoughts injected into it by the Big Four." Mo Lan stared at the hat.

After being placed on the stool, the Sorting Hat twisted, a crack appeared in the edge of the hat like a mouth, and then the hat began to sing and waited for it to finish.

Professor McGonagall held a roll of parchment in her hand, took a few steps forward, and said: "The student whose name is called by her later will put on a hat and sit on the stool, and the sorting hat will be responsible for sorting the students into Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin."

Hearing that the sorting method was so simple, the little wizards completely let go of their uneasiness.

"Hannah Abbott!" Professor McGonagall called the first freshman's name.

Hannah nervously stepped out of the queue and put on her hat. After a moment the hat shouted "Hufflepuff!"

The people at the table to the right applauded and cheered Hannah, welcoming her to their table.Mo Lan saw the ghost of the fat monk waving to her happily.

The sorting order is based on the alphabetical order of the surnames of the freshmen, so Hannah is the first one, and Molan should have to wait for Neville to go up before he can be called.

"Susan Burns!"

"Hufflepuff!" shouted the Hat again.Susan quickly ran to the Hufflepuff table and sat down next to Hannah.

"Terry Boot!" "Ravenclaw!"

This time the second table on the left clapped their hands.When Terry joined them, several Ravenclaws stood up to shake his hand.

Mandy Broghe was also assigned to Ravenclaw, and Lavender Brown became the first new student in Gryffindor. The table on the far left immediately burst into cheers.

Then Millicent Burst became the new student in Slytherin.

"Justin Finch-Fletchley!" "Hufflepuff!"

Mo Lan saw that the time was fast, and the Sorting Hat could immediately call out the name of the house. The longest time so far was only about 1 minute, and her heart was relieved a little.

It seems that as long as the hat doesn't do anything special, it should be fine.

"Hermione Granger!"

Hermione ran to the stool in a few steps and quickly put the hat on her head.

"Gryffindor!" shouted the Sorting Hat.Ron snorted.

"Daphne Greengrass" Daphne glanced at Mo Lan when she walked out of the queue.

"Slytherin!" Like Hermione, the Sorting Hat took a long time to think about it.

When Neville's name was called, he fell over on his way to the stool.The Hat took a long time to make a decision about Neville.When the hat finally shouted "Gryffindor", Neville was too nervous and ran away with the hat on. In the end, he had to trot back amidst roars of laughter and return the hat to Professor McGonagall.

Neville secretly glanced at Mo Lan. He really didn't want to disappoint him. He was relieved when he found that the latter smiled back at him.

When Malfoy's name was called, he got what he wanted in an instant, and almost as soon as the hat touched his head he screamed, "Slytherin!"

"Morland Murphy"

Under the watchful eyes of the little wizards, Merlin stepped forward, sat on the chair, and when the hat was placed on his head, Hermione in Gryffindor, Daphne in Slytherin, and Hufflepuff Hannah was more nervous than him.

"Well, you are a very ambitious child, have outstanding magical talents, and come from a pure-blood family. It seems that you are very suitable for Slytherin."

A subtle voice sounded in Mo Lan's ears

"But you are also very curious, smart, and talented. It seems that Ravenclaw is suitable for you."

Mo Lan wanted to end it as soon as possible to avoid exposing Occlumency, so he followed what he had planned earlier and said to the Sorting Hat: "I want to go to Slytherin."

"Have you made up your mind so quickly? Why don't you think about it? Let me help you take a look. Trust me, kid, I think you will have a better choice."

Damn it, the memory was being read again. Mo Lan, who noticed this, shrank his pupils and said calmly to the Sorting Hat: "I have a father who is a Death Eater. I think it won't be very friendly to me if I enter the other three colleges. "

"Okay, as you wish," the Sorting Hat curled his lips and shouted:

"Slytherin!"

Many little witches from other colleges were a little disappointed, including Hermione and Hannah.

However, the Slytherin table erupted into loud cheers and cheers. Most of the little snakes clapped with smiles on their faces. Some, like Malfoy, couldn't stand the way Molan played with Muggles. The expressions on their faces Intriguing, Mo Lan didn't pay attention and walked to sit next to Daphne.

The little girl's anger came and went quickly. She saw Mo Lan taking the initiative to sit next to her.

Daphne looked very happy and said to Molan: "Molan, that's great. I was afraid I was the only one in Slytherin."

Mo Lan smiled back at her and watched the sorting ceremony that was still going on, but her attention was attracted by the panel that had been silent for a long time.

Just after Mo Lan completed the sorting, the panel prompted him to complete an achievement - the careerist's first stop, and get a chance to draw a card.

The first stop for careerists: Born this way, the chosen extraordinary person will do extraordinary things to achieve justice and conquer the world. Glory should also bow to you. Slytherin will help you reach the pinnacle of power!

Mo Lan had no intention of drawing cards now, so he returned his attention to the sorting ceremony.

As in the original book, Harry and Ron entered Gryffindor.

After the sorting is over.

Dumbledore looked at the students with a smile and stretched out his arms to them, "Welcome to Hogwarts, the new semester has begun! Before the banquet begins, I want to say a few words. That is: "Idiot , cry nose, scrap, twist. "

After saying this, Dumbledore announced the start of the dinner.

And if the four words he said were reorganized grammatically, Nitwit, blubber, Oddment, and tweak, they would be "Merlin bless you."

Tom Marvolo Riddle is very good at this method of grammatical reorganization. You must know that if the spelling order of his name is changed, it is "I am Voldemort", or even if the order is changed again, it is "the weird immortal maniac".

TomMarvoloRiddle

IamLordVoldmort

ImmortalOddLover

Of course, it may also be an opinion of each college towards other colleges.

After the dinner was over and the little wizards had eaten and drank, Dumbledore made some more necessary announcements, and then everyone sang the Hogwarts school song together, and then led by the prefects of each house back to their dormitories.
