[HP] When the Sword Fairy traveled to Hogwarts
Chapter 16 Sorting Ceremony
The door opened immediately, and a tall black-haired witch wearing emerald green robes stood in front of the door. Her expression was serious. The first thing Harry thought was that this person was not easy to deal with, and Bai Lu noticed the way she looked at Harry. There is a gentleness in his eyes.
"First Years here, Professor McGonagall," said Hagrid.
"Thank you, Hagrid, let me pick you up when you get here."
She opened the door wide. The foyer was so large that it was probably more than enough for the entire school to stand here. Like Gringotts, the stone walls were surrounded by blazing torches. The ceiling was so high that you could barely see the top. There was a section in front of it. Luxurious marble staircase leads directly to the upper floor.
They followed Professor McGonagall along the stone floor.
The buzzing sounds of hundreds of people came from the right door. Students from other grades of the school must have arrived, but Professor McGonagall took the first-year students to a small empty room at the other end of the hall.
Everyone rushed in, rubbing shoulders and gazing nervously at everything around them.
"Welcome to Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall said. "In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of all the teachers and students of the school. However, before you take your seats in the auditorium, you must first determine which house you will enter. Academy. I suggest you tidy up and look energetic while waiting."
Her eyes wandered to Neville's misplaced cloak and the dirt on Ron's nose.
Ron scratched his head in confusion, while Harry beside him nervously tried to smooth his hair down.
Bai Lu laughed dumbly and gently stroked Harry's hair. The messy hair instantly softened and finally no longer looked like a chicken coop.
Harry gave her a shy smile.
She handed Ron another tissue and motioned for him to wipe his nose.
When Ron saw the dirt wiped off the paper towel, he smiled sarcastically and turned a little red. It's hard to believe that he had been wandering around with such a big face for so long.
"When it's ready over there, I'll come to pick you up." Professor McGonagall said, "Please keep quiet while you wait." After saying that, she left the room.
Harry finally let out a breath.
"How are they going to put us in exactly which house?" he asked Ron.
"There's got to be a test, I suppose. Fred said it hurt us a lot, but I think he was joking."
Harry's heart trembled.
Taking a test?
In front of the whole school teachers and students?
But he didn't even know any magic until now. When he came here, he didn't expect such a trick. He looked at Bai Lu anxiously, wanting to seek her help.
Bai Lu gave him a reassuring look and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, even if it's a test, it won't be too difficult. You have to believe in yourself."
Harry had always believed in Bai Lu unconditionally. He relaxed a little, and the ghosts that appeared later also diverted his attention.
The noisy group of ghosts made the students present relax a lot.
"Move forward now," a sharp voice said. "The sorting ceremony is about to begin." Professor McGonagall came back and said.
The ghosts floated around, and the fish penetrated the opposite wall and disappeared.
"Now, line up in single file," Professor McGonagall said to the first years. "Follow me."
Bai Lu saw Harry take a deep breath, and then he stood in the queue, just behind her, followed by Ron. They followed the team out of the room, passed through the foyer, and then passed through a double door and entered the luxurious of the auditorium.
This reminded her of the scene when she first entered the Taiyi Immortal Sect. She also followed the crowd into the main hall, waiting to be accepted as a disciple by the peak master or the elders. The difference is that in Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat determines the students through their personality. Of course, the Sorting Hat will still respect students' choices when distinguishing between colleges.
In the auditorium, students from other grades in the college were sitting around four long tables. Thousands of candles floating in the air above the tables illuminated the auditorium. The four tables were decorated with glittering gold plates and high-end candles. Foot wine glass.
What Bai Lu likes most is the enchanted ceiling of the auditorium. When you look up, you can see the deep starry sky, as if you are in the vast universe, and the stars in the sky seem to be within reach.
There is another long table on the stage at the top of the auditorium, which is the seat of the teachers. Professor McGonagall took the first-year students there and asked them to line up in a row facing all the senior students. behind.
Then, Professor McGonagall moved a stool and placed an old and slightly dirty pointed hat on it. Then, the hat twisted and cracked a wide slit, like a mouth and a hat. Started singing.
To be honest, it was a bit novel for Bai Lu to watch the Sorting Hat sing. In the parlance of the world of immortality, this hat has a magical spirit. It can at least be regarded as a magic weapon. In the world of immortality, it is not ordinary, but its use is a bit useless. , not as popular as attack magic weapons.
After the Sorting Hat finished singing, the audience burst into applause. It bowed to the four dining tables one by one, and then stood still.
"It seems that all we need to do is put on this hat." Ron whispered to Harry, "I'm going to kill Fred. He sounded like he was going to fight a troll."
Harry smiled lightly. Of course, wearing a hat was much better than casting a spell, but he still didn't want to put it on in public.
In his opinion, the requirements of this hat are a bit higher. He feels that he does not have the courage, cleverness or any other advantages. If the hat proposes an academy specifically for indecisive people, that would be the most suitable place for him. .
At this time, Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, holding a roll of parchment in his hand: "Whoever's name I call now will put on the sorting hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the sorting."
Soon she was heard saying, "Hermione Granger!"
Hermione almost ran to the stool and hurriedly put her hat on her head.
"Gryffindor!" shouted the hat.
Ron snorted, it seemed like he was destined to be in the same academy as this annoying girl.
When Draco's name was called, he swaggered over and got his wish immediately. The hat almost touched his head when he screamed: "Slytherin!"
Bai Lu couldn't help laughing as she looked at the Sorting Hat, which seemed to be jumping around. She probably disliked Draco's neatly combed back hair, which was covered with gel.
Draco smiled with satisfaction after hearing his sorting. He subconsciously looked at Bai Lu and found that she was looking at him, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was smiling at him.
He automatically understood that Bai Lu was happy for him to be sorted into Slytherin, and he was even more happy and a little shy. After he went to meet his friends Crabbe and Goyle, he would steal glances at Bai Lu from time to time.
The list in Professor McGonagall's hand gradually reached the last page.
Harry was starting to feel particularly uncomfortable now. He recalled how he was always the last one to be picked in PE classes in primary school. This was not because he was not good enough, but because no one wanted Dudley to think they were the best. like him.
Finally, he heard "Harry Potter!"
He felt Bai Lu patting him on the shoulder encouragingly. In full view of the public, he tried hard not to look back and moved forward resolutely.
In the midst of this, there suddenly came a murmur in the dining-room, like the hissing of a small flame.
"Potter, is she calling Potter?"
"Is it that Harry Potter?"
Just as the Sorting Hat was about to be put on his head to block his vision, Harry saw that the restaurant was crowded with people, and everyone was looking up, hoping to see his appearance clearly.
And, Bai Lu's green eyes were the same as his.
Then comes The Dark World in the Hat and Waiting.
After a long period of time, in the anticipation of everyone, the Sorting Hat shouted: "Gryffindor!"
Harry took off his hat and walked to the Gryffindor table in a daze amidst the cheers of everyone.
He was so relieved that he had been selected and not sorted into Slytherin that he almost didn't notice that he had received the loudest cheers.
He gave Bai Lu a big smile, and Bai Lu applauded him happily.
Prefect Percy stood up and shook his hand tightly, and the Weasley twins shouted: "We have Potter! We have Potter!"
The next person whose name was called was Ron. There was no doubt that he was sorted into Gryffindor. As soon as he put down his hat, he happily went to join Harry.
Now Bai Lu is the only one left waiting for assignment.
"Lubai!"
Professor McGonagall read the last name on the parchment.
Bai Lu sat down on the stool with some anticipation, put on her hat, and relaxed her brain a little to prevent the Sorting Hat from noticing anything.
I don’t know which house she will be assigned to. According to the current trend, it should be Gryffindor with a high probability.
"Well... a very powerful soul, with the courage to move forward, an unswerving will, a smart wisdom, and the desire to keep getting stronger... Oh, my God, I should divide you Where are you going..."
Although her eyes were covered by the hat, Bai Lu could use her spiritual consciousness to "see" as long as she wanted to, but there was no need for it now. After quietly listening to the Sorting Hat's evaluation of her, she thought silently: "Then go Gryffindor."
"Gryffindor, right? It's indeed a good fit, but other houses are also suitable for you. Do you want to reconsider?"
"No, let's just decide."
"Oh, okay, as you wish..."
Just when the Sorting Hat was about to shout "Gryffindor", an invisible but powerful force from nowhere affected it, catching Bai Lu off guard.
All I heard was the Sorting Hat shouting: "Slytherin!"
