From Beauxbatons to Hogwarts
Chapter 11 Sorting Ceremony
The students in the auditorium were still talking about the two new teachers, but soon Hagrid's loud voice came from the door: "The new students are here!"
Calvin adjusted his wizard robe and readjusted his sitting position.Most of the people in the auditorium were doing this, and the conversation shifted from the two new professors to the incoming Harry Potter.
Professor McGonagall led a group of freshmen into the auditorium. Calvin looked around and found no one who looked like Lily or James, which made Calvin a little disappointed.
Professor McGonagall placed an old pointed wizard hat on the four-legged stool in front of the new students, and then the thousand-year-old Sorting Hat began its regular routine - singing a song about the sorting it had spent a year thinking up. Song.
After its melodious song ended, the audience applauded it to show respect for the Sorting Hat.
Then Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, a roll of parchment in hand.
"Whoever's name I call puts on his hat, sits on a stool, and waits for sorting."
"Hannah Abbott!"
"Hufflepuffs!"
The long table on the right, belonging to Hufflepuff, burst into cheers.
......
"Hermione Granger!"
"Gryffindor!"
"Neville Longbottom!"
"Gryffindor! Hey, little wizard, put me back."
The rash Longbottom ran away wearing the Sorting Hat, causing a burst of laughter in the auditorium.
"Draco Malfoy!"
"Slytherin!"
......
"Harry Potter!"
When Professor McGonagall read out the name, the originally noisy auditorium fell silent for an instant, and then erupted into an even louder noise. Almost everyone was discussing Harry Potter.
"Potter, is she calling Potter?", "Is that Harry Potter?"
Even Snape, who had always been expressionless, raised his head and stared directly at Harry without realizing that he had clenched his fists.
"Almost exactly the same as his bastard father."
"But his eyes..." Snape continued to lower his head expressionlessly.
"His eyes are like his mother's." Calvin thought to himself, no matter what purpose or reason, he had to protect this child at Hogwarts.
The Sorting Hat fell silent. It seemed that Harry was in embarrassment. Fortunately, the Sorting Hat quickly decided where Harry belonged: "Gryffindor!"
The little Gryffindor lions were excited, and the Weasley twins shouted: "We have Potter, we have Potter."
Soon the remaining freshmen were sorted, and there was another red-haired boy in Gryffindor.
Albus Dumbledore stood up.He looked at the students with a smile on his face and stretched out his arms to them. Nothing seemed to make him happier than to see the students gathered together.
"Welcome!" he said, "Welcome to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words."
"This year, I am delighted to welcome two new teachers to our ranks."
"The first is Professor Quirrell, who graciously agreed to fill the gap in the Defense Against the Dark Arts course."
There was some sporadic, less than enthusiastic applause.No one was interested in a sullen wizard wearing a strange turban.
"As for the second teacher we have appointed," the less than enthusiastic applause for Professor Quirrell faded away.Dumbledore continued, "Well, I regret to tell you that our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, Professor Kettleburn, retired at the end of last year in order to spend more time with his remaining rascals. However, I am delighted to say that the renowned magizoologist Calvin Capet has agreed to take on the role of Professor of Care of Magical Creatures."
Calvin stood up and saluted everyone, and there was warm applause in the auditorium. Some people understood Calvin's knowledge, while others were obsessed with his appearance and demeanor.Only Snape was dismissive of Calvin's arrival.
However, a few Slytherin students sat on their chairs and did not applaud. A few of them looked at each other.
Lucian Ball showed a strange expression: "Calvin Capet? It can't be that Capet, right?"
"Cape? What Cape?" Slytherin's Quidditch captain Marcus Flint asked with a confused look on his face.
Perigen Derek came over and said urgently but in a low voice: "Marcus, have you forgotten? Your uncle said that the mysterious man personally wrote to recruit Muggle wizards."
Flint suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, my uncle said it, but I heard that he was frightened by the mysterious man and transferred directly to Beauxbatons."
At this time, Flint turned to look at the graceful young man again, and said with a sinister smile: "Who did I think he was? It turned out to be a coward who was scared away by the mysterious man."
"Finally, I want to say: Idiot! Crying nose! Residue! Screw it! Thank you everyone!" Dumbledore ended his brief speech and sat down again.Everyone applauded and cheered.Everyone began to enjoy the sumptuous dinner.
Harry felt warm all over and wanted to sleep, but then he looked up at the guest seat.Hagrid was drinking heavily.Professor McGonagall was talking to Professor Dumbledore.Professor Quirrell, wearing a ridiculous scarf on his head, was talking to a young professor with black hair and red eyes.
It happened in a split second.The red-eyed teacher looked directly into Harry's eyes over Professor Quirrell's scarf - Harry felt a burning pain in the scar on his forehead.
"Ouch!" Harry put a hand to his forehead.
"What's wrong?" Percy asked.
"No—nothing."
The burning pain disappeared as quickly as it came.What lingered was the feeling Harry got from the teacher's gaze, the unusual attention he felt the teacher was paying him.
"Who was that teacher who was talking to Professor Quirrell?" he asked Percy.
"Oh, you already know Professor Quirrell. It's not surprising that he is so nervous. That is Professor Capet, who teaches Care of Magical Creatures. You can take his class in the third grade. He is a famous scholar."
Harry stared at Capet for a moment, but Capet didn't look at him again.Finally, the pudding disappeared and Professor Dumbledore stood up again.The restaurant also returned to silence.
"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 want to put forward a few things to pay attention to." "Attention first-year students, there are a lot of people on campus. Students are prohibited from entering the woods. Some of our old students should also remember this."
Dumbledore's shining eyes flicked in the direction of the Weasley twins.
"Also, Mr. Filch, the administrator, asked me to remind everyone not to do magic in the corridors between classes.
"The review of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of this term. Anyone who is interested in participating in the house 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."
"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore said loudly.Harry noticed that the other teachers' smiles seemed to freeze.
Dumbledore flicked his wand lightly, and a long golden ribbon flew out of the wand, twisting and coiling lines of text like a snake above the high dining table.
"Each choose their favorite tune," said Dumbledore. "Get ready, sing!"
So all the teachers and students sang loudly: Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, please teach us knowledge, no matter we are bald old people or children with injured knees, our The mind is open to some interesting things.
Because now our minds are empty, full of air, dead flies and trivial things, teach us some valuable knowledge, give us back what we have forgotten, you just do your best, leave the rest to us, we will study hard, until it turns into dung.
Everyone sang the school song in seventy-eight.Only the Weasley twins continued to sing along to the slow melody of "Funeral March."Dumbledore used his wand to conduct the last few bars for the two of them, and his applause was loudest when they were done singing.
"Music," he said, wiping his eyes, "is more charming than anything we do here! It's bedtime now. Let's go back to the dormitories."
Calvin adjusted his wizard robe and readjusted his sitting position.Most of the people in the auditorium were doing this, and the conversation shifted from the two new professors to the incoming Harry Potter.
