Professor, please pay the debt

When the hat finally sang the sorting song, there was sparse applause in the auditorium, and everyone was not very energetic.

Ron whispered in Harry's ear, "The hat is crazy again, it unites us... who can imagine being united with Slytherins?"

"Yeah, it must be talking crazy."

Harry agreed with his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart that the Sorting Hat is not crazy, it is just an idealist.

But Ron is right, Gryffindor can't be united with Slytherin, Ginny and Drake's confrontation can explain the reason, Drake's father fought with Harry and the others, that's not a joke It's not like a small jinx, but a deadly spell such as the Cruciatus Curse and the Death Curse. In short, it was a life-and-death battle.Since then, the relationship between Gryffindor and Slytherin has risen to hatred.

Next, Professor McGonagall presided over the sorting ceremony. Harry was not interested in this. He looked over the sorting hat and looked at the middle of the teacher's bench. Dumbledore was sitting on his exclusive high-back chair, with a serious expression on his face. He didn't look at Harry or anyone, he should have felt Harry staring at him, but he didn't react... it was weird.

Because in every sorting ceremony in the past, the old wizard would give Harry a loving or playful smile.

So the reason for Dumbledore's change of attitude this year...

Is it because Harry met Scrimgeour?

Or was it because his spy at the Ministry of Magic died?

Harry felt that even if he lived again, he still couldn't understand that old lunatic. Harry thought that Dumbledore would come to explain the will to him, but he didn't expect him to stand still, and there was not even a letter until now.

Maybe he thought it would be a guilty conscience to take the initiative to explain, or he was sure that the silly boy Potter couldn't think of so much.

"Harry, is Professor Slughorn the one sitting to Professor Strawney's right?" Hermione asked.

It was Slughorn, his bald head gleaming in the candlelight, his face serious.

Which meant the skin on his face was tight, and Harry guessed it was because of his seat—

He was next to Trelawney, who was dressed as oddly as ever, in a dirty shawl, a pair of large round spectacles, and jewels all over her wrists and neck.

When Harry looked over, Trelawney was trying to speak in Slughorn's ear, which made Slughorn even more unhappy.

"Yes, that's him..." said Harry.

"Why did he call you here? I heard that Ginny was also invited."

"Oh, by the way, I haven't told you about the Slug Club, I guess he wants me to join the club he formed."

"What bug?" Ron asked.

"Slug..." Harry explained to him, looking back at Hermione, "Slughorn likes to collect good students, bring them together, form a, um, network, I think That should be the name."

"Oh, that's great!" Hermione suddenly screamed, and started to take the lead in clapping. It turned out that a new student had been assigned to Gryffindor House. There was warm applause from both sides of the long table. Hermione walked over to express her gratitude to him on behalf of the house Welcome, the freshman's face was flushed, and Hermione pinned her down on the seat in a daze.

"Hermione is a competent prefect..." Harry said to Ron, "You should learn from her."

Ron's answer to this was to look at the ceiling as best he could, which meant rolling his eyes.

As time goes by, more and more students are assigned to colleges. As in previous years, the number of students assigned to Slytherin is the least, and the number of students assigned to Gryffindor is the largest. It seems that even the return of the Dark Lord cannot change people's perception of Slater. Lin's disgust.

Amidst the applause and cheers of the students, Harry asked Ron unintentionally, "Why isn't Snape here?"

"Him? I don't know, he rarely comes to the auditorium for dinner," said Ron.

This is true, but today is the opening dinner after all, and all the teachers should come, including Hagrid, who was winking happily at Harry and the others at the teacher's table.

Harry was a little disappointed, he didn't have the mind to pay attention to the sorting affairs, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the freshmen staring at him.

It wasn't until the sorting ceremony was over that Hermione sat back in her original seat, and she was about to speak, when a sumptuous amount of food suddenly appeared on the long table, so everyone started to eat and drink without thinking about anything else.

"I think I could swallow a cow!" Ron held three drumsticks in one hand and reached for the pudding plate with the other.

Harry was hungry too, but fortunately thanks to the memory of the Dark Lord, he was able to maintain a little bit of dining etiquette. When he picked off the chicken thigh and cut it into small edible pieces, Ron stared wildly. The elf is so big, "Mulin! Why are you swollen!"

Ron's mouth was stuffed with chicken thighs, making his pronunciation ridiculous and many people around were amused.Only Hermione sat opposite and screamed: "Ron Weasley, you sprayed on my head again."

Ron was taken aback and wanted to apologize, but he got stuck, covered his mouth and coughed violently, "Cough cough!" Harry shook his wand to calm Ron.

Neville's eyes lit up, "This is that spell that Slughorn used, you learned it so quickly? You're awesome, Harry, oh, will you teach me? I'm always stuck , especially when eating with grandma..."

Neville was sitting on Harry's right, Ron was sitting on Harry's left, and after Harry had healed the man on his left, he went to reassure the man on his right, assuring him that it was an easy spell that he could learn.

The seats in Gryffindor have changed quietly. Originally, they sat casually, but since Harry formed DA last year, all DA members naturally sat together. Of course, Harry belonged to this group. In the center, Hermione and Ron are recognized by everyone as having the right to be next to Harry, and this year, Neville seems to have also obtained this right, and the seats of other DA members surround them, which is already a first-time gathering Small team.

Harry was secretly proud of himself when the door of the auditorium was pushed open, and two people walked in one after the other. Malfoy with pale blond hair walked in front, he walked hurriedly and quickly, as if eager to get rid of people behind.

And the latter one is none other than Severus Snape, who has won the Hogwarts Most Scary Professor Award.

Harry frowned, Draco and Severus...

Harry followed the black-haired man all the time. He followed Draco to the Slytherin table, and then went straight back to the teacher's seat without looking at the students in his own house. He also walked very quickly. Quickly, the pure black robe billowed up behind him, with an incomparably powerful momentum, rumbling past like a train.

The students were silent, and it was not until Snape sat down to eat that conversation resumed in the hall.
