Hogwarts Wizarding Journey

Chapter 2 The Dirty Sorting Hat

The little wizards got off the train in twos and threes, pushing and shoving.

A lamp swayed above, and it turned out that Hagrid, who had giant blood, came over. He had a tall physique.

"Freshmen, freshmen, come with me, this way, hurry up."

Hagrid said hello to Harry and led everyone along a rugged path.

It was dark, surrounded by dense jungle, and a bit cold.

Shelley felt extremely novel and looked forward to seeing that beautiful castle.

"Hermione, let's follow quickly," Shelley pulled Hermione's little hand, "Don't look for the toad yet."

Hermione was held by Shelley's hand and walked cautiously - she was a little reluctant to be held by Shelley's hand - the freshmen were all walking unsteadily, and in the darkness, only Hagrid's lamp in front provided some light.

"Luciferase!" Shelley pulled out his wand and lit up the surrounding area, showing Hermione's reddish face.

After rounding a corner, what comes into view is an extremely majestic scene.Under the dark night, the lake surface sparkled, reflecting the stars of the castle.This is a very beautiful castle, towering into the sky and lined with spiers. It has been standing there for thousands of years, and the infinite charm of magic shines there.

Everyone was stunned, and Hermione quietly took out the hand that was being held without leaving any trace.

Shelley smiled slightly at her, and Hermione felt a little embarrassed.

"Only four people can sit on each boat." Hagrid said to everyone.

The freshmen then moved their eyes away from the castle and onto the boat by the lake, and everyone got on the boat one after another.

Shelley, Hermione, and Neville, who had lost the toad, were sitting in a small boat with another unknown girl.

Now Neville is still in despair.

"Maybe the toad will appear soon. I mean, maybe your toad is hiding on a certain boat." Shelley said, his fingertips gently stroked the water, causing ripples on the lake surface. reflection.

I don’t know where the giant squid is hiding in the lake.

The large lake at Hogwarts provides shelter to many magical animals that live in the water. There are countless magical animals living in it.

In the beautiful dream scene, Shelley was fascinated.

"Hermione, are you looking forward to it?"

"What are you looking forward to? Oh, of course, we are almost there." Hermione said, looking forward, with the shadow of the castle reflected in her eyes.

......

"Hey, look, is this your toad?" Hagrid found the toad while checking the empty ship.

"Thank God." Neville hugged the toad in his arms in surprise and shouted loudly.

"Look, there are always surprises ahead." Shelley said with a smile.

......

A tall black-haired witch with a serious expression, wearing a green robe, took over the new life brought by Hagrid.She is Professor McGonagall.

"I heard that sorting is an extremely dangerous ritual."

"Yes, I asked my dad, but he didn't tell me anything." A trembling little wizard gestured exaggeratedly, "His face looked terrible at that time."

"Merlin!" the little wizards exclaimed again and again.

Hermione was mumbling words, reciting the spells she had learned rapidly, not sure which one to use.

Shelley curled his lips, concealing the Sorting Ceremony had long been a tradition at Hogwarts. He remembered that it seemed like all he had to do was put on a hat and there was no danger.

Professor McGonagall then introduced the four major houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin.During their time at Hogwarts, their outstanding performance will earn them extra points for their house, while breaking school rules will result in points being deducted.At the end of the year, the house with the highest score wins the House Cup to bring glory to its house.

They came to a magnificent room with four huge long tables, each representing a college.

Shelley was astonished by the thousands of burning candles floating in the air, illuminating the entire restaurant.

"A spell has been cast here. It looks like the sky outside. I read about it in "Hogwarts: A History of the School."" Hermione, walking next to Shelley, whispered. "I've read that too," replied Shelley.

It's hard to believe that there really is a ceiling up there, and it's also hard to believe that the roof of the restaurant isn't open to the air.The night sky is exceptionally clear, and the stars are brighter than in previous lives.

Professor McGonagall gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first-year students, and placed a pointed wizard's hat on the stool.The hat was patched, worn, and dirty.Shelley thought with disgust about how he looked wearing this hat.

Everyone was staring at the hat, and the restaurant was quiet.

At this time, the hat began to twist and grinned its big mouth.

"You may think I'm not pretty,

But don't judge a book by its cover,

If you can find a smarter hat than me,

I can eat myself.

You can make your bowler hats black and shiny,

Make your top hats smooth and crisp,

I'm the top hat for the Hogwarts test,

Naturally, it is much taller than your hats.

any thought hidden in your mind,

Can't hide from the golden eyes of the devil's hat,

Try it on, and I'll tell you,

Which college should you go to.

You may belong to Gryffindor,

There is courage buried in the bottom of my heart,

Their courage, boldness and boldness,

Make Gryffindor outstanding;

You may belong to Hufflepuff,

The people there are upright and faithful,

Hufflepuffs are stoic and honest,

Not afraid of hard work;

If you're smart,

Into wise old Ravenclaw, perhaps,

Those who are wise and learned,

Will always meet their fellows there;

Maybe you'll be in Slytherin,

Maybe you make a true friend here,

But those cunning and insidious people will do everything possible to

to achieve their goals.

Come put on me!Don't be afraid!

Never panic!

In my hand (although I don't even have a hand)

you are absolutely safe

Because I am a thinking magic hat! "

"Hannah Abbott!" Professor McGonagall held a roll of parchment in her hand.

Sure enough, Shelley couldn't help but complain about the iron-clad Hannah Abbott.

"Hufflepuff!" the hat shouted, and amid applause Hannah walked to the table on the right, which belonged to Hufflepuff.

Shelley watched the little wizards find their desks one by one, and suddenly became nervous.

"Hermione Granger!" Shelley listened carefully.

Hermione almost ran up to the stool and put her hat on her head hastily.

What a hurried little girl!

"Gryffindor!" shouted the hat.Ron snorted, probably because he had not been happy with Hermione before.

Shelley liked Hermione's character very much.

"Shelley Joyce!" Shelley heard Professor McGonagall calling her name and quickly ran to the stool.

Just as the Sorting Hat was about to be placed on his head to block his sight, he saw Hermione looking over.

Shelley heard a small voice ringing in his ears.

"Well, it's difficult, very difficult. What do you think of the witch just now? Interesting..."

"Have you not taken a shower in 1000 years? You are dirty." Shelley interrupted hurriedly.

"I'm the smartest Sorting Hat! I took a bath hundreds of years ago, how can you accuse me without reason?...You also know about Azkaban? What, do you want to go there?"

"No, no, no, Gryffindor, Gryffindor, Gryffindor..."

"Stop reading it, okay, okay." The Sorting Hat twisted on top of its head: "The great Sorting Hat will forgive you once, then..."

"Gryffindor!" There was a burst of applause. Under the gaze of hundreds of people, Shelley walked to the Gryffindor table and breathed a sigh of relief.

The gold plate and goblets on the table sparkled, and Shelley sat down next to Hermione.

"We will be students of the same college from now on!" Shelley whispered to Hermione.

"Please give me your advice." Hermione showed a rare expression of trepidation, carefully looking at Shelley's bright eyes.

"Potter, is she calling Potter?" The voice suddenly rang out.

"Is that Harry Potter?" The students became restless and chatted, and Harry put on his hat.

After a while, the Sorting Hat shouted: "Gryffindor!"

The Gryffindors cheered, and the Weasley twins shouted: "We have Potter! We have Potter!"

Hermione looked curiously, and Shelley and Hermione clapped.

"Welcome!" said Dumbledore, the current headmaster of Hogwarts and the greatest white wizard. "Welcome to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. That is : Idiot! Cry! Residue! Screw it!”

"thank you all!"

"It's really just a few words." Shelley raised his eyebrows.

Hermione asked curiously: "Do you know what these words mean?"

"Who knows?"

Everyone enjoyed dinner, ghosts flew around, Shelley and Hermione chatted happily, but the chat turned into textbook knowledge.

"Ouch!" Harry put a hand to his forehead.

"What's wrong?" Percy asked.

"No-nothing."......

Shelley glanced at Snape's oily hair, then glanced at the back of Quirrell's head, remaining calm.

"So it's easier to practice Transfiguration first with some small objects, right?"

"Yeah, Hermione." Shelley no longer paid attention to Harry, but continued to enjoy this beautiful atmosphere...

"Oh, now that everyone has eaten and drank enough, I want to say a few more words to everyone. At the beginning of the semester, I have a few notes for everyone."

"First-year freshmen, note that students are not allowed to enter the woods on campus. Some of our older classmates should also keep this in mind."

Dumbledore's shining eyes glanced towards the Weasley brothers.

"Besides, Mr. Filch, the administrator, wants me to remind everyone not to use magic in the hallway between classes."

"The vetting of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of the term. Anyone interested in participating in the academy team should contact Mrs. Hooch."

"Finally, I have to tell everyone that those who don't want to suffer an accident or a painful death, please don't enter the corridor on the right on the fourth floor."

It’s better not to remind me like this!These restless little lions will definitely want to sneak into the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor to find out, Shelley thought.

This is the trap Dumbledore dug to lure out Voldemort...
