Hogwarts Staff Maker

Although Liu Sen quickly used the Cleansing Spell to restore Hermione's clothes before she could recover from the shock, and considerately turned her messy and naturally curly hair into smooth and flowing straight hair, the shocked Miss Know-It-All still rolled her eyes at Liu Sen frequently.

Liu Sen was helpless and had to concentrate on experiencing the boat trip from Hogsmeade Station to Hogwarts. The rocking boat carried the first-year students across the Black Lake, and the majestic Hogwarts Castle was seen in the distance.

All the freshmen’s eyes were attracted by the castle. Everyone was full of anticipation at the thought of attending such a beautiful and mysterious school in the future!

As they approached the cliff on which the castle stood, it seemed to tower above them.

"Draw your heads!" Hagrid shouted as the first boats approached the cliffs.

After getting off the boat, Hagrid led the freshmen up the winding stairs and handed the breathless children over to Vice-Principal McGonagall who came to greet them.

At this time, Professor McGonagall told the little wizards that the sorting ceremony was about to begin! And introduced the situation of the four colleges.

Hogwarts was founded by four founders: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin, and four colleges were established in their names, with the lion, badger, eagle and snake as the college symbols respectively.

The separation ceremony is to decide which college you will study in for the next seven years, and to strive for the most credits for your college and win the college cup.

The characteristics of the four houses are as different as their mascots: Slytherin's snake represents pure blood and power; Gryffindor's lion represents integrity and courage; Ravenclaw's eagle represents wisdom and knowledge; Hufflepuff's badger represents diligence and loyalty, which is actually quite embarrassing, as they usually pick the remaining children.

However, as far as Liu Sen knew, Dumbledore himself actually thought that the division of the colleges was too arbitrary. Not only did it label the children too early, it also divided the wizarding community, causing the already small number of young wizards to oppose each other. Especially Slytherin and Gryffindor, they were notoriously at odds with each other.

After listening to Professor McGonagall's introduction, the young wizards all seemed a little nervous.

Before entering school, they were all frightened by their families with all kinds of bizarre ways of selecting houses. This seemed to be a small tradition, and the fooled little wizards were all very frightened at this moment.

For example, Ron, his five brothers didn't tell him how to be sorted into houses, and he thought he had to fight a troll in public to determine which house he belonged to.

Liu Sen is not worried about the troll, he is worried about the Sorting Hat's ability to read people's minds!

If his identity as a time traveler hidden among the crowd were to be exposed, he wondered if he would be locked in a glass jar by the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic and labeled: Slice of an unknown stowaway from time and space!

In order to deal with such an extreme tragedy, Liu Sen prepared several plans at home. Although he didn't know whether he could hide it from the Sorting Hat, in order to enter the magical world, Liu Sen had to bite the bullet.

After the sorting began, the young wizards breathed a sigh of relief. They no longer needed to fight a life-and-death battle with a troll or recite the history of magic in public, which was as thick as a dictionary. All they needed to do to be sorted was to wear a shabby magic hat that could speak.

The little wizards were no longer panicked, but Liu Sen was very panicked!

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 and sit on his stool until he is sorted," she said. "Hannah Abbott!"

Here it comes! The legendary: Hannah Abbott!

A nervous little girl with a red face and two blond braids, she stumbled out of the line, shielding her eyes as she put on the Sorting Hat.

Soon the Sorting Hat called out, "Hufflepuff!"

The people at the table on the right immediately applauded, welcoming Hannah to join Hufflepuff.

When the first letter of the name reached 'L', Professor McGonagall finally shouted:

"Liu Sen!"

Liu Sen took a deep breath, quietly put away the "rolling pin" in his loose robe, and silently started to implement the plan in his mind.

Looking back at Harry and Hermione who were already sitting in the Gryffindor seats and waving to cheer him up, Liu Sen resolutely sat down on the chair and was put on the dirty and tattered hat that sounded so bad.

Liu Sen first gave himself a psychological hint in advance, "I like to read novels, time-travel novels, science fiction novels, and imagine myself as the protagonist. I have traveled through time and space, fought dragons alone, eaten golden food in the Hobbit village, caught Pokémon in the Naruto Village, and collected seven dragon balls on the Grand Line to make a wish to become a superman..." He did whatever he wanted to cover up his identity as a time traveler.

At the same time, let the magic wand release electric current to sting your palms, use the pain to clear your brain, and further interfere with your heart rate and brain waves.

Then he recalled the history of magic textbooks and the basic magic spell-casting essentials that he had studied before...he tried to let the Sorting Hat see his intelligence and eagerness to learn.

Yes, Liu Sen’s plan is to join Ravenclaw, which is full of nerds. This is a relatively safe plan. After all, showing one’s inner talent is much easier than showing bravery. All he has to do is memorize the book.

It is more difficult to show bravery. Should I let the sorting house watch how I tease Malfoy?

Finally, to be on the safe side, Liu Sen swallowed his saliva deliberately, imagining what kind of delicious food would appear at the banquet later, chicken legs, potatoes, pumpkin juice... Well, British cuisine is a far cry from Chinese cuisine, but since he has shown his foodie side, he should be able to be assigned to Hufflepuff - this strategy is used as a backup.

Under the gaze of many teachers and young wizards, the Sorting Hat showed a complex expression with its dirty and torn folds forming its mouth and eyes.

Suddenly, a voice that only Liu Sen could hear rang in his mind: "Wow, you are the little wizard who has added the most drama to yourself in the past hundred years! Hahaha!"

Liu Sen immediately broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, Oh no, I'm exposed! Will I be expelled from school or sent to be sliced? If I hold the Sorting Hat hostage, I wonder if my chance of escaping will be even 1%! It's over!

"Don't worry, little one! Over the centuries, I have seen countless little wizards with secrets, but don't worry, I have the wisdom and heart of four great wizards! I don't care about your origins, and I won't tell anyone!"

Liu Sen felt relieved a little. This was actually within his deduction, but he had expected the probability to be very low.

"Thank you for your tolerance and understanding. My little secret is not worth mentioning. I believe you must have met many people with special pasts like me, right?" Liu Sen's heart moved, and he planned to ask if there were other time travelers.

But the Sorting Hat is very strict.

"Oh, no no no, every child is unique, who can tell? I think we should place you in the right house as soon as possible, kid!"

"Great, Mr. Sorting Hat, thank you for your help!"

After a brief silence, Liu Sen asked doubtfully, "How is it? Which hospital do you think is more suitable for me to go to? I'm not picky!"

The Sorting Hat chuckled. "Haha, are you sure? Smart kid, there is no doubt that you are not lacking in wisdom. Ravenclaw will allow you to make many like-minded friends. But don't forget that you also have the blood of an ancient wizard family in your body! Slytherin will allow you to realize your ambitions faster! Towards glory! Haha, as for greed, who doesn't have a greed? Hufflepuff will not reject an excellent little wizard like you. You can become the best among them! There is no doubt about that!"

"Hey, thank you for the compliment! Nothing can be hidden from your clever mind! I think it's all right, Ravenclaw is..."

"But!" Before Liu Sen could make a choice, the Sorting Hat interrupted him and continued, "What makes you unique and valuable is not your wisdom, bloodline or anything else, but..."

Liu Sen's eyes lit up: "But?"

"It's courage, kid! What determines a person's success is the precious qualities hidden deep in his heart!"

"Did you see my courage in fighting against the bullies who bullied the weak? Or did you see my pursuit of truth and my determination to conduct dangerous magic and technology experiments without fear of the Ministry of Magic's ban? Or did you see my determination to invest everything in a junk company when I was a child? Or..."

Before Liu Sen could continue to beautify himself, the Sorting Hat couldn't stand it anymore: "Bah, you shameless bastard, it's rare to see you talk about fighting, messing around, and taking advantage of others in such a nice way!"

"Ahem, you are just being prejudiced! How could I fight? That was self-defense! We were so weak, helpless and pitiful at that time!"

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. You dared to make up lies and tricks to deceive the smartest magical creature in the world! This is really brave! Oh, I remember you wanted to kidnap me and run away just now! You are really fearless! I think Gryffindor is very suitable for you!"

Although Liu Sen coveted Gryffindor, Gryffindor was the most difficult to achieve in his plan. At this moment, he was as happy as if he had won the lottery.

"Gryffindor!" Liu Sen breathed a sigh of relief when the Sorting Hat called out the name of the house.

After thanking the Sorting Hat, he walked briskly to the Gryffindor table and sat next to Harry.

The Weasley twins greeted him happily not far away, welcoming him to the Gryffindor family.

After all the young wizards were assigned, an old man wearing a star-and-moon robe and with a long silver beard stood up in the center of the teaching seats - Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

He opened his arms to welcome the students, and there was a light in his kindness eyes.

"Welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. That is: 'Fools! Crybabies! Scum! Twist!' Thank you everyone!"

The students clapped their hands in confusion. The lower grade students were seeing such a strange speech for the first time and they exchanged glances with each other in confusion.

Dumbledore sat back in his chair and snapped his fingers, and suddenly a wide variety of food appeared on the dining table.

Liu Sen was also a little confused. He was still thinking about Dumbledore's extremely brief opening speech.

Liu Sen had never seen this in his life. At that time, the school leaders’ speeches took at least half an hour! No matter whether the students below were shivering in the rain or in the cold wind, the school leaders never cared about the students’ lives!

"That's all? What do you mean?" Liu Sen asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Many first-year students were also completely confused, such as Harry: "Is he... a little... crazy?"

At this time, Percy, who was across from them, whispered, "What? He's a genius! The greatest Hogwarts headmaster ever! The best wizard in the world! But he's a little... crazy. Do you want some potatoes?"

Only then did Harry notice the food on the plate. The child, who had never had a full meal since childhood, suddenly felt like he was in heaven!

Liu Sen didn't take the grilled sausages, baked potatoes, fried steak, and grilled chicken legs seriously. The dishes were okay, with plenty of servings, but what the hell was going on with this big plate of mint candies mixed in with them?

He took a bite of ribs and asked Percy, "Senior, what did the principal mean just now?"

Harry also slowed down his chewing and turned to look over.

Percy swallowed the potato, took a sip of pumpkin juice and said, "There are many theories. Some say it is a blessing from Latin magic runes, and some say it is a complicated riddle, but that is not reliable. It is actually very simple."

Percy looked around. Although Ron didn't stop chewing the chicken leg, he also looked at the third brother who was supervising the students curiously. Hermione frowned, wondering if there was any relevant record in "A History of Hogwarts". In the distance, several young wizards also leaned over and listened attentively.

Percy liked this feeling very much. He continued:

"Idiot, Crybaby, Scum, and Twisted. These are the impressions or opinions of the students of the four houses on the other houses. For example, the little eagles of Ravenclaw, they think they are the smartest and everyone else is..."
