A day of learning magic at Hogwarts

Ian strode forward, feeling that the eyes of the entire hall were focused on him.

I sat on the small bench in the center of the hall, and then put on the "sorting hat"...

The hat was deep enough to cover Ian's eyes, plunging him into a world of complete darkness.

"A difficult decision!" Then, a sharp voice rang in his ear: "Very talented and very hardworking. At the same time, there is no lack of ambition... Well, interesting... Where should I assign you? ?”

Ian took a deep breath, gathered his consciousness in his mind, and communicated with the voice of the Sorting Hat:

"I'm going to Hufflepuff?"

"Hufflepuff?" the Sorting Hat's voice sounded slightly confused.

"Hufflepuff is willing to accept any wizard to go to her academy, isn't it?" Ian asked in his heart, "So, there shouldn't be any problem for me to go to Hufflepuff Academy."

This sounds like impeccable logic.

The Sorting Hat seemed to pause for a moment: "Are you sure you want to go to Hufflepuff?"

"Honestly, it's rare. I rarely hear of freshmen choosing to go to Hufflepuff; if you choose to go to Ravenclaw, there is no doubt that..."

"Hufflepuff!" Ian repeated firmly.

"Oh, okay!" Hat opened his mouth and shouted loudly:

"Hufflepuffs!"

As the voice sounded, the crowd at the table on the right began to applaud and cheer for him; at the same time, there was also a ghost dressed as a fat monk waving to him.

Ian walked over with a calm face, shook hands with several enthusiastic senior students, and sat next to Hannah Abbott.

……

In fact, this is not a difficult choice.

When he heard Ernie MacMillan's description of the four houses on the train, Ian knew the answer in his heart; and after listening to the Sorting Hat's introduction, he no longer had any hesitation.

First, eliminate the two options of Gryffindor and Slytherin, both of which seem a bit extreme.

Ravenclaw is a good choice...

However, Ian still believes that for anyone (whether a wizard or an ordinary person), talent alone is not enough; at the same time, for a child who is only eleven or twelve years old, it is difficult to treat him at this point in time. The talent makes the final "judgment".

Coupled with other reasons, he finally chose Hufflepuff.

In addition, Hufflepuff's philosophy is slightly more in line with his concept of a house.

The most obvious question -

There are so many new students in Hogwarts every year. Gryffindor selects the brave and fearless students, Slytherin selects the students with pure blood and ambition, and Ravenclaw selects the smart and shrewd students... …

So what about Hufflepuff? Did she only select those students who were upright and hard-working and met the standards of the college among so many new students?

No, she is not.She enrolled all the remaining students who were not chosen by other houses into her own house, regardless of whether they met Hufflepuff standards or not!

Just imagine, a young wizard received a letter from Hogwarts and happily rowed a boat to come here...

Then the Sorting Hat told him that he was neither brave nor fearless, nor ambitious by blood, nor wise and shrewd, nor honest and diligent; even though he had never learned magic for a day, even though he was just a child who knew nothing; but that hat He has been sentenced to death.

How ridiculous that would be!

But Hufflepuff was different. Hufflepuff took the initiative to accept him; even though he couldn't find those outstanding characteristics in him.

But as long as he is a wizard, even the worst and stupidest wizard, as long as he is a wizard, he is qualified to receive education at Hogwarts.

Teaching without distinction is the true essence of education.

……

After sitting down, Ian could take a good look at the guest of honor seat on the high platform.

First, he saw Rubeus Hagrid, the keykeeper and gamekeeper who had led them the way before. He was sitting in the corner, where a seat twice as big as an ordinary seat had been prepared for him.This burly man was sipping the wine from the glass.

Then, in the center of the guest chair, Ian found Principal Albus Dumbledore.He looks exactly like the photo, and at first glance, he gives people a very reliable feeling.

Professor McGonagall is still holding the sorting ceremony.

Surrounding Principal Dumbledore were several strangely dressed professors.

For example, there is a teacher with a hooked nose and sallow skin, and his greasy hair looks like it has not been washed for at least a month; a teacher who is only half the size of an ordinary person is even more "miniature" than the shortest dwarf in Ian's memory. ; and a middle-aged female teacher wearing a thick hat full of patches, covered in mud and looking dirty...

The teachers at Hogwarts seem a little strange.

In addition, Ian also saw an acquaintance whom he had met once before——

When I followed Professor McGonagall to Diagon Alley, I met him in Gringotts; a thin wizard with a huge purple turban on his head, who stuttered when he spoke.It's a pity that Professor McGonagall once mentioned his name, but Ian has forgotten it.

The sorting ceremony is still going on.

Justin Finch-Fletchley was also assigned to Hufflepuff. He had no objection to this result and came to the other side of Ian very calmly.

After communicating with several senior Hufflepuff students, his previous nervousness was completely relieved.

The little girl who "robbed" the toad on the train was named Hermione Granger.The Sorting Hat thought for a few minutes and finally sorted him into Gryffindor.

Ernie McMillan played relatively late.He put on that hat with confidence.

Ian thought he would be assigned to Ravenclaw like his nine generations of ancestors.

But he didn't want the Sorting Hat to blurt out: "Hufflepuff!"

Ernie had no choice but to come to the Hufflepuff table in embarrassment, with a somewhat depressed expression on his face.

And after Ernie—

"Harry Potter!" Professor McGonagall read softly.

As the name sounded, a burst of whispers sounded throughout the hall.

"Gryffindor!" the Sorting Hat made a quick decision.

At this moment, Ian Traister couldn't help but smile.

As expected, Harry Potter went to Gryffindor House. After all, the house of the "brave" is the school suitable for the protagonist!

As for yourself, you don’t need to interact too much with him, just study and study your own magic with peace of mind!
