[HP]How to become a swordsman at Hogwarts

Chapter 7 School Opening Banquet

Linlang didn't want to face the fact that she was the one who caused Ron the worst, so she stayed in George and Fred's carriage until they were changing into robes before going back.

Fortunately, Ron didn't seem to be hit. While he and Harry were standing at the door of the carriage waiting for Linlang to change into her robe, Ron was still happily sharing with her how he and Harry had just driven away a stinky noble young master and him. His two followers, Banban, even made great contributions. Linlang was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that they were actually peerless masters that she had never discovered. Fortunately, there was an honest man named Harry beside him to supplement them.

The train slowed down and finally stopped. The three of them followed the flow of people and walked off the train to a small, dark platform. A huge figure held up a lamp and loudly greeted the students to gather. He also said hello to Harry, who and Ron and Linlang introduced: "That's Hagrid, he took me to Diagon Alley to buy things." Linlang couldn't help but sigh: "So tall." It's really a height that makes short legs envious, and she doesn't know What is the final height that her mother set for her.

After taking the boat ride, which is a must for freshmen at Hogwarts, everyone climbed up a set of stone steps and gathered in front of a huge oak door. Hagrid confirmed that everyone was present and knocked on the castle door three times. The door opened immediately, and a tall black-haired witch wearing emerald green robes stood in front of the door.

The black-haired witch - Professor McGonagall as Hagrid called her - took them to a small room and introduced them to Hogwarts, leaving a bunch of nervous little carrots behind. Left for now.

"How can they accurately assign us to which college?" Linlong heard Harry ask Ron. Ron was also a little nervous and answered very quickly, "I think it's always a test. Fred said it would hurt us a lot, but I think he was joking."

After hearing his answer, Harry became visibly more anxious. Linlang comforted him: "My advice here is, don't believe a word Fred said. George also lied to me and said he wanted to fight the troll. There will also be bat spirits feeding you poison." Harry didn't know if he was comforted by her words, but he just forced a smile at her.

"Ah!" Someone suddenly screamed from behind. Linlang turned around and saw about twenty pearl-white, translucent ghosts suddenly jumping out of the wall behind them. Even though they were just talking about themselves, they didn't pay any attention to them. This group of freshmen, the freshmen were still frozen in place, not daring to move.

Linlang wanted to step forward to see the difference between the ghosts and the ghosts in her own world, but seeing that no one was moving, she thought they were all good children who listened to Professor McGonagall, and she didn't want to be the only one who obeyed Professor McGonagall. Those who disobey the teacher's instructions can only follow the ghosts with their eyes until they disappear. Fortunately, there are still seven years of the world for her to observe, so she is not in a hurry, Linlang comforted herself.

Professor McGonagall came back soon and led a line of students into the auditorium. In the auditorium, students from other classes in the college were sitting around four long tables. Thousands of birds were floating above the tables. Half-empty candles illuminate the dining room. Four tables were set with gleaming gold plates and goblets. There is another long table on the table at the top of the restaurant, which is where the teachers sit.

Professor McGonagall took the first-year students there and asked them to line up in a row facing all the senior students. The teachers were behind them, and the ghosts were also mixed with the students, shining with hazy silver light. Looking up, she saw stars twinkling on the velvet-black ceiling. Linlang's eyes lit up: "It's so beautiful." Harry and Ron also nodded.

The sorting method that had kept them nervous for a long time turned out to be just a singing hat - although the fact that the hat could sing was already outrageous enough for a person like Harry who had never been exposed to magic. Linlang and Ron looked at each other, and both saw the murderous intention in the other's eyes to kill George and Fred.

At this time, Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, holding a roll of parchment in her hand. "Whoever's name I call now will put on his hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the sorting." She said, "Hannah Abbott!" The sorting started with this little Hufflepuff girl.

The little brown-haired girl she met before was assigned to Gryffindor. Linlang became nervous after realizing it. She looked at Ron and Harry: "Do you all want to go to Gryffindor?" Haha. Leigh was still a little confused. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to go anywhere and would be sent home. Ron nodded without hesitation: "Of course, our whole family is Gryffindor."

Linlang subconsciously looked at the table Hermione Granger ran to just now. As expected, there were several red heads on that table. George and Fred noticed Linlang looking at them and waved at her excitedly. Waving his hands, his mouth was also saying: "We are waiting for you in Gryffindor." Linlang waved to them subconsciously, then immediately put it down like a thief, pretending that nothing happened, and snickered. At the same time, I silently made a decision in my heart.

After the round-faced Neville Longbottom was also sorted into Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall shouted loudly: "Linlang!" Linlang walked forward quickly and asked Professor McGonagall to put the hat on her head on. Linlang heard a subtle voice whispering in her ear: "Oh, another little girl of Chinese descent." Another one? If the hat hadn't obscured her view, she would have wanted to see where the other girl was.

The voice seemed to hear her thoughts: "She is a Ravenclaw. Although there are not many Chinese children at Hogwarts, most of them go there. They all have a thirst for knowledge, just like you." It. How do you know her thoughts? And is this going to sort her into Ravenclaw?

The Sorting Hat said that he was still very democratic: "Of course, I will also listen to your ideas. In fact, I think the other three houses are also very suitable for you." Although he wondered where he had the Slytherin traits he had heard about recently, Linlang still kept repeating in her mind: Then go to Gryffindor.

"Not bad, not bad. I hope you can always maintain the courage to move forward." Linlang felt the hat twist on her head and shouted loudly: "Gryffindor!" Putting down the hat, Linlang rushed to Harry and Ron He made a cheering gesture and ran easily to the table on the far left that was cheering loudly.

Linlang happily hugged George and Fred one by one, and was about to sit in the empty seat at the end of the table, but George grabbed him by the collar: "I left a seat for you, where are you going?" Linlang looked at them before. He left a place in the middle, thinking it was for Ron. Although he didn't say it, he still felt a little disappointed: "I thought it was for..." I didn't feel embarrassed to finish, but I just smiled at the two of them. laugh.

Fred saw through what she didn't finish: "We can't watch our little brother eat." George also didn't care about slandering his own brother: "We will be scared by him and won't be able to eat." Although I'm sorry Luo Well, Linlang happily sat down between the two of them.

Later, Harry and Ron were successfully sorted into Gryffindor. All their friends were in the same house. Linlang was so happy that her palms turned red. Especially Ron, out of the guilt accumulated in the day, Linlang drummed up her strength.

When the last student was sorted into Slytherin, the sorting was over. An old man with a white beard stood up from the teacher's chair. He looked at the students with a smile on his face and stretched out his arms to them, as if there was nothing wrong with him. Nothing made him happier than seeing the students gathered together. "Welcome!" he said, "Welcome to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before the banquet begins, I want to say a few words. That is: Idiot! Crying nose! Residue! Screw! Thank you everyone!" He Sitting down again, everyone clapped and cheered.

Linlang clapped along with everyone and frowned: What did he mean? After Fred shouted loudly, he explained to her: "There is no need to try to understand Dumbledore's words, he is a somewhat crazy genius." George clicked the fork on Linlang's table: "The most important thing now is to start dinner. "

Only then did Linlang realize that the plate in front of her was filled with food. Roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, potato chips, and even a plate of mint. hard candy. Once she noticed it, the aroma of food rushed directly into Linlang's nose. Not in the mood to think about what was available or not, Linlang decided to taste the cooking skills of the Hogwarts chefs first.

Linlang didn't eat very fast, but she was very serious. George looked funny. The little girl always had a sullen face when she was serious. People who didn't know better thought she was trying the magic potion. Sensing that George was looking at her, Linlang raised her head and looked at him doubtfully. She then brought him a piece of steak she was eating as if she suddenly understood, and highly recommended it to him: "This steak is delicious, tender and tasty, but I still think Aunt Molly’s food is more delicious.”

George didn't mind that it was Linlang who directly forked it to him. After tasting it, he nodded affirmatively: "It's really good." "Right, and this one." It was rare for Linlang to find a confidant, so he didn't eat his own food this time. I have already tasted everything I want to eat, and I am not hungry, so I simply recommend to George what I think is delicious.

Linlang was getting excited when she suddenly felt a little too quiet around her. When she turned her head, she found that Fred, who was chatting with Li Jordan, had stopped at some point, holding his chin and looking at them intently.

Linlang always felt that his smile had a deep meaning, but it was difficult to understand. She tentatively put the fork on top of the steak: "Do you want to have a taste too?" Fred waved his hand: "I don't have to, I'm already here I’ve been eating at Hogwarts for two years.” What’s wrong with two years? Linlang still didn't understand, so he turned his head and looked at his brother who had a close connection with him.

George did understand, but he only said to Linlang: "Ignore him, he's a beast." After that, he pressed Fred's head hard across Linlang: What is Fred thinking about? He just put it in his head. Lin acts as a little sister like Ginny!
