Harry Potter: The Party of the Orient at Hogwarts

The train stopped slowly.

"Be careful!" The two boys, Harry and Ron, carefully escorted the two girls off the train.

"First graders, follow me this way." Standing among the group of children, Hagrid looked extraordinarily tall, like a huge banyan tree.

"Hey, Hagrid!" Jiang Li and Harry greeted Hagrid excitedly.

Hagrid patted the heads of the two of them, looked at Ron and Hermione beside them, and shook his big hairy head in satisfaction: "Oh, it's great to make new friends so quickly!"

Hagrid led everyone to a lake, and a very magnificent and tall castle could be seen from afar. Hagrid divided them into groups of three or four and boarded the boat.

Amidst the laughter and anticipation of the children, the boat soon arrived at the foot of the castle on the other side.

Jiang Li and Hermione jumped out of the boat holding hands. As girls of Muggle birth, they quickly became good friends.

Harry and Ron followed them ashore as well.

A witch wearing an emerald green robe stood in front of the gate. Although she looked serious, Jiang Li felt that she must be a very kind professor.

"First year, Professor McGonagall." Hagrid said to the witch.

"Thank you, Hagrid, I'll leave the rest to me." Professor McGonagall opened the door. The entrance hall was very large, and there were blazing torches around the stone walls.

They followed Professor McGonagall up the stone steps, when a toad the size of a washbasin suddenly jumped in front of Jiang Li.

"Ah!" Jiang Li was so frightened that she immediately hugged Hermione who was beside her. She couldn't be blamed for being timid, since she was afraid of reptiles since she was a child.

"Don't be afraid, this is Neville's pet toad." Hermione comforted her, then turned her head and shouted to the back, "Neville, quickly take your toad back!"

"Oh, my Leif, I finally found you!" A chubby boy squeezed from behind to the front and hugged the giant toad, as if he had found a lost treasure.

Professor McGonagall gave Neville a serious look when he heard the commotion, and then said to the children: "We need to perform the sorting ceremony first, there are four of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Academy. If you perform well, you can add points to your academy, and points will be deducted for breaking the rules. At the end of the year, we will conduct the Academy Cup evaluation."

Professor McGonagall turned and opened the door of the auditorium.

Draco walked up to Harry from behind: "It seems they are right, Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts."

Then he sneaked a glance at Jiang Li who was standing behind Harry, and quickly looked away.

"This is Crabbe, this is Goyle, I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy..." Draco stood on the steps above Harry and looked at Harry proudly. .

"Pfft." Ron burst out laughing for some reason when Draco said his own name.

"Ron, you shouldn't laugh at other people's names, it's not a gentleman's behavior." Jiang Li corrected Ron.

Ron was a little apprehensive looking at her straight face, and nodded to her.

Draco heard that Jiang Li felt better about Ron's restraint, but he didn't forget to taunt Ron: "You think it's funny? Don't ask me who you are, my father told me that the Weasley family All with red hair and freckles, although there are too many children to support."

Jiang Li felt that these two people were really the same, so don't say anything about the other, she complained to Draco: "Malfoy, you are worse than Ron, he just laughed at your name, you even attacked his whole family .”

Draco's face changed when he heard her say this, and he muttered: "I just hope that you and Potter can choose the right friends."

Harry heard him mocking his friend, and said to him coldly: "I can tell the difference myself, so I won't bother you, thank you!"

Draco still wanted to say something, but seeing Jiang Li on the side looking at him coldly, he swallowed the words again.He may not know that if he swallows it unconsciously, Jiang Li may be about to impose a silence technique on him.

"Okay, children, come with me." Professor McGonagall shouted at them, leading them into the auditorium.

The children consciously lined up in two rows and followed Professor McGonagall into the auditorium.

"Look at the top of your head, the sky is enchanted to make these candles hang from the ceiling." Hermione shared excitedly with Jiang Li who was walking beside her.

"God, Hermione, you know so much!" Jiang Li looked at Hermione with admiration.

Hermione blushed with embarrassment from her boast: "I saw it from a piece of Hogwarts school history."

The four of them randomly found a seat and sat together.

On the stool in front of the auditorium was a worn-out wizard hat with a pointed peak, and the hat was still patched. Jiang Li thought to himself that this should be the sorting hat that Draco had mentioned before.

Professor McGonagall introduced the four houses of Hogwarts to everyone. Jiang Li was drowsy, and the information he barely heard was that Professor McGonagall didn't seem to like Slytherin very much.

Finally, Professor McGonagall took a roll of parchment and took a few steps forward: "Whoever I call by name will sit on the stool with the sorting hat on, Hannah Abbott."

A lovely girl with a rosy face and two ponytails came out of the queue, put on her hat, sat down for a moment, "Hufflepuff!" the hat shrieked.

The table to the right applauds and cheers Hannah, welcoming her as one of their Hufflepuffs.

Everyone put on the sorting hat one after another, and took their seats at their own college tables, and finally it was Hermione's turn.

"Hermione Granger!"

Hermione almost couldn't wait to run to the hat, and hastily put the hat on top of her head.

"Gryffindor!" shouted the hat.

Hermione was very satisfied with the result, and happily ran to the long Gryffindor table where she was welcomed, and gave Jiang Li a cheering gesture after she sat down.

"Draco Malfoy!"

Hearing his name, Draco swaggered up, pretending to be relaxed, and shouted as soon as the hat touched his head: "Slytherin!"

He let out a long sigh of relief as he wished, and walked proudly to the long table of Slytherin.

Ron was also successfully assigned to Gryffindor where his brothers were.

There were fewer and fewer people left, and Harry became more and more uneasy, and his mind began to wander.

"Harry Potter!"

As Harry walked forward, there were whispers in the Great Hall, "Is she calling Harry Potter?" "My God, is that Harry Potter?"

Harry put the Sorting Hat on, and it didn't take long for the Sorting Hat to scream, "Gryffindor!"

The long table in Gryffindor suddenly cheered, Fred and George hugged and shouted excitedly: "We have Potter, we have Potter!"

Harry also happily ran to the long Gryffindor table and sat down beside Ron.

"Jiang Li!"

Jiang Li was lying on the table bored, and finally called his name.

Harry and Hermione were looking at her expectantly, and of course they hoped that she would also be assigned to Gryffindor.

Draco was also staring at her intently, muttering "Slytherin, Slytherin" silently.

"Girl from China, we finally met again after so many years." Jiang Li had just put on the sorting hat when he heard the sound of a sorting hat ringing in his ears.

She was a little puzzled, this was her first time at Hogwarts, why the Sorting Hat told her it had been a long time.

"Although your abilities are very suitable for Slytherin, you have a wonderful relationship with Hufflepuff, so..."

"Hufflepuff!" the Sorting Hat yelled.

Hermione and Harry were obviously disappointed, and Draco's eyes seemed full of disbelief.

Jiang Li was very happy, she turned her head and saw the kind old man with white hair sitting on the principal's seat looking at her with a smile, and there was some nostalgia in his eyes that Jiang Li couldn't understand.

She waved to Harry and Hermione, and happily ran towards Hufflepuff's long table.
