[HP] Father?dad!

At first, Neil didn't mind that he didn't have the halo of the savior, and accepted himself as a friend; today, he doesn't mind that Neil has the blood belonging to Professor Snape.In his opinion, Neil is Neil, Professor Snape is Professor Snape, and Gryffindor has clear grievances——

"Neil, I finally found you." Harry happily stepped into the box.

Neil quickly made a "shh" gesture, pointed to the opposite side, and signaled Harry to keep his voice down.The Gryffindor trio saw that there was another adult in the box besides Neil.

"Who do you think he is?" Ron asked curiously.

Hermione pointed to the luggage rack above the man's head. "Professor RJ Lupine." There were five people squeezed into the box, and the box seemed a little crowded. As soon as Harry entered, he sat next to Neil.

Ron and Hermione looked at each other. "I'll sit next to Harry." Ron didn't want to sit next to the teacher, so he quickly sat down next to Harry.

Hermione rolled her eyes helplessly, and sat down next to Professor Lupine.

"What do you say he teaches?" Ron looked at Professor Lupine, who was sleeping unconscious, and pouted.

"Obviously," Hermione quietly lowered her voice, "there is only one job title without a teacher this year—'Defense Against the Dark Arts'."

Hearing this, Neil raised his eyebrows curiously, and said, "Did the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher change this year?" Although during this period of time, Neil had previewed all the first-year courses, But Severus didn't tell him about the teacher's configuration, so Neil didn't know about the situation of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts is a class that claims to be cursed." It was Harry who spoke. "Over the years, this course has changed teachers almost every year, and some teachers are not even satisfied for a year."

"Cursed?" Neil narrowed his eyes strangely, "Who would curse them?"

"I heard that when Voldemort wanted to be a teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts, he cursed this class after being rejected. Since then, no teacher of this class has been teaching this class for less than a year." Hearing Neil's question, haha Leigh explained carefully for Neil.

Ron on the side thought he was secretly looking at Neil beside Harry.Ron was very curious about this boy who claimed to be the son of Professor Snape and Harry's good friend.He never dared to imagine that the dark old bat would have a son. This kind of absurd thing like Dumbledore dancing cheek to cheek with the mysterious man actually happened!Seeing that Neil was much younger than Professor Snape, but very similar to Professor Snape's facial features, Ron was a little excited.He never dared to imagine that that dark and greasy Professor Snape would have such a green side before!

After hearing Harry's explanation, Neil's eyes were a little complicated.Now, Neil is very sure that Harry is the savior Harry Potter, so naturally Neil will not be completely unaware of the grievances between him and Voldemort.

"In that case, can the quality of this course be guaranteed?" Neil asked anxiously, and this question was what he was most concerned about.Although he was worried about the grievances between Harry and Voldemort, it was too far away. Neil also thought about it for a while, and then put it down in a flash.

Hearing Neil's question, Ron seemed to open up the conversation box, and began to complain vividly to Neil about the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in the previous two years, from Professor Quirrell's smell of garlic in the first grade to the second grader Luo Professor Hart's pompous idiot.In the end, Ron concluded with "I hope Professor Lupine will be competent for this year's course".

Listening to Ron's words, Neil's face became paler and paler. In the end, Neil's face fell slightly. Obviously, Neil was deeply disappointed with the status quo of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course.Hermione on the side couldn't stand it, and comforted him: "It's okay, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me. If it doesn't work, you can ask Professor Snape for advice." Hermione said loudly said comfortingly.Hermione has always been patient with children who love to learn.Moreover, in Hermione's view, although Professor Snape has a bad temper, he is still quite capable. What's more, Professor Snape is also Neil's father, so it is only natural for Neil to ask Professor Snape for lessons. things.

After listening to Hermione's words, Neil's face softened slightly, and he nodded thoughtfully.He found that the two people in front of him were not as difficult to get along with as he imagined.I just don't know why Brother Draco has a bad relationship with Harry and the others.

After these words, Neil's relationship with Hermione and Ron has become much closer.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

On the other end, Hermione was criticizing Ron for not completing his homework seriously, and on this end, Harry roughly described his experiences in the past two years to Neil.As Harry explained, the color on Neil's face kept changing.He didn't expect that Harry had experienced so many difficulties in the past two years.At this moment, Neil deeply sympathized with Harry as the savior.However, from Harry's narrative, Neil could feel that he really wanted to fight Voldemort, not just because he was the savior.For this, Neil can only express his deep admiration.He didn't know what he would do if he really stood in Harry's position, but he knew that, at least now, he was unwilling to go against a Dark Lord who had nothing to do with him for no reason, just for the sake of justice.Perhaps this is the difference between Slytherin and Gryffindor?Neil tilted his head and looked at Harry with an unclear expression.

"By the way, Neil, where have you been these two years?" Although he knew it was not appropriate to ask now, Harry couldn't help but asked Neil in a low voice.Aside, Ron and Hermione were arguing over Crookshanks jumping out of the basket to catch Scabbers.

Jeda, who was sleeping in Neil's arms, heard the cat meowing, looked up at the ginger-colored Crookshanks, licked her paws, washed her face, buried her head again, and went back to sleep.

Neil's thoughts were still stuck in Harry's two years of fighting Voldemort, and he subconsciously felt a little strange.How can there be two Voldemorts in this world, and the two Voldemorts are not the same age?Hearing Harry's question, Neil's attention shifted. "Not long after I left school, Grandpa went." Seeing that Ron and Hermione had no time to pay attention, Neil said in a low voice, "After that, I have been wandering around. I went to your house to find you, But your aunt said that you went to the St. Bruce Safety Center Juvenile Offenders School." Neil didn't want to talk about this experience in detail, but only played it lightly.

"I knew it." Harry gritted his teeth at the mention of the school now.Speaking of which, Harry told Neil again how he endured humiliation in order to obtain Hogsmeade's consent, but finally couldn't bear to blow up his aunt and then ran away from home.

After Harry talked, the more he spoke, the more angrily he spoke, and the louder his voice became, the attention of Ron and Hermione was also attracted. "So did you finally get the consent form?" Hermione keenly grasped the crux of the problem.

Harry shook his head, looking very depressed.

"What? You can't go?" Ron was stunned, and he couldn't imagine Harry being so sad, "That-maybe you can find Professor McGonagall-or someone else, there will be some way- —”

"I don't think Professor McGonagall will agree." Hermione analyzed calmly. They all knew how fair and strict Professor McGonagall was.

"What is Hogsmeade?" Neil was at a loss as he listened to the conversation of the three people.Pulling Harry's sleeve, Neil was very curious.

"My God, Neil! You don't know Hogsmeade!" Ron exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Then do you know it well?" Hermione cut off Ron's words sharply. "I read some information from books. This is the only place in England where there are no Muggles, only wizards—"

"Of course." Glancing at Neil, Ron began to explain the wizarding village - Hogsmeade, triumphantly and enthusiastically.

Looking at Neil, Hermione and Ron getting along in harmony, Harry on the side was relieved and showed a big smile.He was really afraid that Neil and Hermione Ron would not get along well, so it would be embarrassing for him to be caught in the middle.fortunately……

☆、Hogwarts Express ([-])

When Ron's words came to an end, Neil's eyes flashed with strong anticipation. "Then what grade can I go to that place?" Since he didn't receive the consent form, Neil naturally guessed that Hogsmeade Village was not a place where first graders could go.

"Third grade." It was Harry who spoke, his face was gloomy, and his words could not hide the disappointment. "We also had the opportunity to go this year for the first time."

Seeing that Harry was in a bad mood, Ron quickly changed the topic, "By the way, what did my dad say when he pulled you away?"

Hearing this, Harry's already gloomy complexion became even more serious.He told the three people in front of him that Mr. Weasley told Black to escape today, that he caught him, told him to be careful and safe, and that he saw Mr. and Mrs. Weasley arguing about whether to tell him about it last night. people.

After hearing Harry's words, Ron showed an expression as if struck by lightning, Hermione tightly covered her mouth with both hands, and Neil also looked solemn.

"Then, Harry." Neil, who spoke first, looked sideways at Harry, and said in a cold voice, "You must pay attention to safety."

Seeing the concern hidden in Neil's eyes, Harry nodded. "I will, don't worry."

"That's right, Harry." At this moment, Hermione came to her senses and put down her hand, "In this case, you won't be able to go to Hogsmeade. In this situation, it is very dangerous for you to go to Hogsmeade. "

"But if Harry's with us," Ron said quickly, retorting Hermione, "Black wouldn't dare to come—"

Hermione rolled her eyes and said in a sharp voice, "Ron, don't be silly! Black killed so many people at once on a crowded street, don't you think he wouldn't dare to talk to us just in the presence of us?" Leigh?" Hermione glared at Ron, as if blaming him for speaking without thinking.

"Do you know what kind of magic Black used to kill so many people at once?" Neil asked suddenly.He has been curious about this question for a long time, but he has never found the answer.

"How would we know." Ron waved his hand impatiently, "A crazy person like him probably used some kind of black magic."

After hearing Ron's words, Neil frowned slightly. For some reason, what Ron said made Neil feel a little uncomfortable.However, he didn't say much, just fell silent.

At this time, there was a sound of plopping outside, and Neil looked out, only to find a food truck approaching the door of their compartment.

"Should we wake up Professor Lupine?" Hermione asked the three of them, turning her head to look at Professor Lupine, "He looks like he needs something to eat."

"Try it." Harry said, "It's already this point." While talking, Harry stood up, pulled Neil and walked out of the box, "Go and have a look, the food in the car is delicious gone."

In the end, Hermione still didn't wake up Professor Lupine.After buying food, Harry and Neil returned to the box.

In order for Neil to have a good experience, Harry bought all the food in the car.Looking at the food on the table, although Neil didn't have much expression on his face, his eyes were very soft.

Seeing Neil like this, Harry knew that Neil was extremely happy with the food in front of him.Harry knew a lot about Neil's character.

"Try it." As he said, Harry handed Neil a large pan of scones. "Let's eat some main food first. This scone is very tender and crisp."

Neil took the scone, took a bite, and gave Harry a small smile.Neil was always particularly relaxed when Harry was around.

Ron and Hermione also picked up their favorite food and ate them in big mouthfuls.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"By the way, Neil." After eating, Harry suddenly remembered a very important thing, "Which house are you going to go to? Why don't you come to Gryffindor, Gryffindor is the best." Haha Li suddenly remembered that Neil is in the first grade this year, which means that Neil will be involved in the most important issue of sorting.

Hearing Harry's question, Nelson paused.After the last time, although he didn't know why brother Draco and Harry had a bad relationship, seeing that his father didn't like Harry either, Neil was keenly aware that Gryffindor and Slytherin might not have a good relationship.Moreover, before, Brother Draco often said bad things about Gryffindor in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't know if Brother Draco didn't like Gryffindor himself, or it was really what he guessed .

After hesitating for a while, Neil still expressed his true thoughts, "I want to go to Slytherin." He didn't want to lie to Harry, and if Harry couldn't accept it, he could only say that he disagreed and did not conspire with each other.Yes, he wanted to go to Slytherin.Not only because his father is in Slytherin, but also because he believes that the purpose of Slytherin is the most consistent with his values.

Although he never expressed it to anyone, Neil knew very well in his heart that he liked learning very much, not only because he liked learning itself, but also because he liked the power that knowledge gave him after learning knowledge.Yes, Neil never told anyone that strength is what he pursues most.From the day he escaped from the orphanage, Neil had made up his mind that he must have strong power to protect himself and the people he cared about, and never let himself fall into a situation of being slaughtered by others!

"Slytherin?" Ron waved his hand in a fuss, "Why do you want to go there? There—there is—" Thinking that Neil is Professor Snape's son, Ron swallowed the words that he almost blurted out.With a bulging face, Ron was a little annoyed, "Gryffindor is the best, if you don't come here, you will regret it in the future."

"Okay." Hermione gently tugged on the sleeve of Ron who was a bit angry, "Slytherin is not useless." Hermione said words against her will, trying to comfort Neil.But racking her brains, Hermione couldn't think of any words to praise Slytherin, so she shut up.

"Are you sure?" Looking at Neil, Harry was a little worried, "Actually, Ravenclaw is also very good, Neil. Don't you like reading that much? Many people who like to think have entered Ravenclaw .” Harry still wanted to persuade Neil unwillingly.In his mind, he really couldn't see anything good about Slytherin, but because of Neil's status, Harry couldn't say it directly.

"I've already made up my mind, Harry, Ron, and Hermione." Looking up, Neil looked at the three people in front of him seriously, "You know, my father—" Neil tilted his head, skillfully Did not go on. "Then, if I enter Slytherin, will you still consider me a friend?" Tilting his head, Neil looked at Harry seriously.

"Of course." Harry hastily assured, "No matter what house you're in, you'll always be one of my best friends."

Hermione nodded too. "As long as you are still willing, we will all be your good friends." Thinking of the Slytherin she saw, Hermione said thoughtfully.In any case, Neil was Harry's best friend after all, and as long as he wasn't like Malfoy, she wouldn't object to being in contact with a Slytherin.

After Hermione finished speaking, she pushed Ron who didn't speak.Ron twisted his body awkwardly, and said in a low voice: "Slytherin is Slytherin, you are you, you are not like some people, I will not confuse you." Ron felt very awkward, but thinking of Harry's request before, Ron finally softened his mind.What's more, this Neil is not as unapproachable as he imagined.Ron comforted himself in this way, and smiled again.

Hearing the three people's answers, Neil relaxed his straight back and leaned back slightly. "The three of you are also my friends." Neil promised, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.Although Hermione and Ron were just incidental, after contact, Neil felt that although Ron was a little fussy and Hermione was a little nervous, in general, these two people were not bad.For Harry's sake, Neil would not take the initiative to fight against the two of them.

At this time, the train suddenly slowed down.Neil glanced around, only to realize that it was completely dark.

It was raining heavily, banging on the windows, the train was shaking, and the wind was roaring.

"Are we almost there?" Ron looked around, stood up, and wanted to see the situation outside.

"At this point, we can't have arrived." Hermione looked at her watch with a dignified expression.

Neil let go of his hand and put Jedah aside.Standing up, Neil clenched his fist with his left hand and his wand with his right.

Ron, who was closest to the door, had already stepped out of the box to check the situation in the corridor.

With a bang, the train stopped.Then, the lights suddenly went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

Neil took a deep breath, expressionless.

Harry grabbed Neil's left hand. "Don't be afraid, it's okay." Harry said, but his hand held Neil tightly.

Neil twitched the corner of his mouth, but his heart was warm.That's the way Harry is, he likes to worry about things.

In the other compartment, Ginny and Neville also fell into the box, making a mess with Ron and Hermione.

"Quiet!" Suddenly a hoarse voice sounded in the box.

Professor Lupine, who had been sleeping all the way, finally woke up.In the darkness, Neil saw Professor Lupine stand up.Due to the perennial habit, Neil can see things clearly at night.

I saw Professor Lupine flicked his wand, and a beam of light appeared. "Stay where you are." Professor Lu Ping said cautiously, and walked slowly out of the private room.

Just when Professor Lupine was about to touch the doorknob, the door of the box opened slowly.

A gust of gloomy wind blew by, and Neil felt that his whole body was plunged into a boundless chill.A cloaked, ceiling-reaching monster appeared in front of everyone.

Neil only felt a deep chill soaking through his skin.In a blur, Neil felt the warmth of his left hand become stiff.Neil's heart constricted for a while——

☆、Dementor

Neil only felt a deep chill soaking through his skin.In a blur, Neil felt the warmth of his left hand become stiff.Neil's heart constricted for a while——

Biting his lip hard, Neil tried desperately to stay awake.He felt cold to the bone.Dimly, he saw his grandfather's gray face, and the painful low moan of the abused boy in the orphanage echoed in his ears.

No!It's all fake!Neil desperately bit the tip of his tongue with his teeth.The severe pain in his body made Neil wake up.

Harry!Neil saw that Harry had collapsed on the ground, trembling all over, and his right hand was still tightly holding his left hand.As for himself, he was half kneeling beside Harry's calf, his whole body was sore and limp.

Suddenly, a burst of silver light emanated from Professor Lupin's wand, and the dementor exited the box in fear.The cold gradually dissipated.

Neil took two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and patted Harry's cheek. "Harry, Harry? Wake up." Neil wanted to wake Harry up despite his cold sweat.Ron also stepped forward at this time, trying to help Harry up.

Harry opened his eyes. "What's wrong with me?" Harry said hoarsely, still a little dizzy.Neil helped him sit up, only then did he realize that he had slipped to the ground.Ron and Neil knelt beside him, and Hermione stood not far from him and looked at him worriedly.

Neil and Ron reached out to support Harry and helped him sit back in his seat.

"Are you okay?" Ron swallowed, his expression tense.

Harry shook his head. "It's okay." Looking around, Harry found that the monster just now had disappeared.On the side, Ginny and Neville also looked at him worriedly, their faces turned pale.

"But—Neil, what's wrong with you?" Harry's voice was full of panic, and he noticed a trace of blood hanging from Neil's mouth.

"It's okay." Neil stretched out his hand and wiped his mouth, only to find that blood was already dripping from the corner of his mouth. "Just now I wanted to regain my sanity, so I bit myself." Neil explained in a descriptive manner, not taking this injury to heart at all.

"You—" Harry was in a hurry, the smear of blood was very dazzling, as if he was silently accusing Neil of how cruel he was to him just now, Harry knew that Neil's wound would not be as bad as he said question. "You—hey..." Finally, Harry could only sigh helplessly.He knew that Neil was always like this, he didn't take himself seriously, he was ruthless to others, and he was even more ruthless to himself.But there was nothing Harry could do about it.In the past, whenever Harry tried to persuade Neil, Neil would say blankly, 'If it wasn't like this, how could I protect you. ' Every time Neil said that, Harry had to surrender.Who told him that after he got acquainted with Neil, it was because Neil desperately beat Dudley and his party away for him every time, so that he was able to avoid being bullied by Dudley and his party... So on this issue, Harry had never had a say.

Taking out a handkerchief from his pocket, Neil wiped off the blood on his hands.Using a handkerchief was a habit that Neil had developed only this month, because he tried his best not to get his clothes dirty.

Ron and Hermione on the side also looked at Neil with weird expressions, but Harry's persuasion had no effect, and Hermione and Ron also knew how to say nothing.

"Have some chocolate." At this time, Professor Lupine returned to the box.In his hand is a large bar of chocolate which he is breaking into many smaller pieces.Picking the biggest piece, Professor Lupine handed it to Harry.

"Here," he first handed the chocolate to Harry, "eat some. It's good for you." After choosing the second largest piece, Professor Lupine handed it to Neil, "you have some too."

"Thank you, Professor." Neil thanked politely and took the chocolate.Only at this moment did Lupine see clearly the face of the boy in front of him.His expression became strange. "You can eat too." Professor Lupine didn't say anything else, just distributed the chocolate in his hand to others.

Harry took the chocolate, but did not eat it. "What was that just now?" This was the question Harry was most concerned about now.

"That's a dementor that came out of Azkaban." Professor Lupine explained, crumpling up the empty wrapping paper in his hand and stuffing it into his pocket.

"Eat it," Professor Lupine continued, "it will be good for your health. I'm going to talk to the driver now, sorry..."

Saying so, Professor Lupine left the box.

"Are you okay?" Neil didn't care that he was also cold at the moment, his hands and feet were sore, Neil just looked at Harry worriedly, his head was constantly sweating.

"It's okay." Harry wiped the sweat from his brow, "I don't understand, what happened? What's a dementor?"

"The dementors are the guards of Azkaban." Neil had a solemn expression on his face, which he also knew when he looked up information about Azkaban after seeing the news about Black. "It is said that the ghost can suck people's happiness, and his mouth hidden under the hood can suck human souls, and anyone who is kissed by him will become a walking dead."

A series of gasps could be heard in the private room, and Neville, who was hiding in the corner, trembled with fear.Neil glanced at the chubby boy, and looked away with a little disdain.

"How could such a terrible thing be on the train?" Ron asked sharply, with a look of disbelief.

"They must have come to arrest Black." Hermione looked worried, "I just don't know what happened to the other students."

Ginny curled up into a ball, sobbing softly, "I don't want to meet a dementor again." Hermione sighed softly, stepped forward, and put her arms around her reassuringly.Glancing at the girl from the corner of his eyes, Neil stuffed the chocolate into his mouth expressionlessly.

Bite down, Neil only felt a warm current surge from his body. "Eat chocolate, it will be much better after eating."

After hearing Neil's words, the others obediently ate the chocolate.

After eating the chocolate, Harry also felt much better. "Did the rest of you fall off your seats?" At this moment, Harry realized the situation when he woke up, and his expression was rather awkward.

"And Neil," Ron said. "You both fell off your seats. Only Neil woke up on his own."

Hearing Ron's words, Harry felt a lot better for some reason.At this time, Professor Lu Ping walked into the box again, and the whole group shut their mouths, not talking any more.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

After getting off the train, Neil felt a little pity.However, in the atmosphere just now, he was not in the mood to ask Professor Lupine any questions.At this time, Harry and his party had already left by another road. Since Neil was in the first grade, he followed a tall man whom Harry called Hagrid through the narrow path and came to the edge of a lake. superior.

The huge torrential rain made Neil's feet muddy.After hearing Hagrid's instructions to let them board the boat, Neil stepped onto the boat silently.In the boat with him were two girls and a boy with chestnut hair. Neil glanced at them and looked into the distance without saying a word.

When everyone was in the boat, a fleet of small boats rowed across the black lake.The light rain was falling, and Neil only felt a little cold and shivering.Perhaps everyone felt very cold, the air was very dull, and no one spoke.

Neil waved his wand, trying to cast a warming spell on himself.The magic was successful, although the effect was not very good, but Neil felt a little warmer, and his feet were no longer cold.

The boat has sailed to the center of the lake.On the other side of the lake is a high hillside. On the hillside, a majestic castle stands straight, and the top is submerged in the clouds.All around, the wind was raging, and the windows were covered with raindrops, which was gloomy.

Looking at the towering castle in front of him, Neil was overwhelmed.Hogwarts, here he comes!

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

After getting off the boat, led by Hagrid, a group of little carrot heads finally arrived at the castle.

As soon as the castle door opened, Severus and the diminutive Professor Flitwick took the newborn from Hagrid.

"Hey. Today's weather is really bad." Professor Flitwick waved his wand non-stop, while casting drying spells and warming spells for the first-year freshmen, while distributing potions to prevent colds for the freshmen.He kept his hand, and Professor Flitwick kept talking, "If it weren't for the Hogwarts school regulations that first-year freshmen must pass through the Black Lake to reach Hogwarts, this group of freshmen would not have suffered this."

Severus didn't answer, just frowned, anxiously looking for Neil's figure in the crowd.After seeing Neil, Severus strode forward, cast three Drying Charms on Neil's head, body and feet, and then added a Warming Charm to Neil.

Nilton felt refreshed all over, and his whole body felt much better.Pushing two bottles of potions into Neil's hands, Severus lowered his voice. "Drink it." Then, Severus stood still, pretending to be nonchalant, and raised his voice, "Queue here to get the potion!"

Those who flocked to Professor Flitwick's side heard Severus' call, and some people who were left behind flocked to Severus, forming a long line.

Neil walked aside wisely, and drank the two bottles of potion in his hand in one gulp.After drinking the potion, Neil felt his whole body stretched, and his bones no longer ached.Seeing that the people in the line only got a Drying Charm and a bottle of potion, Neil's eyes were full of smiles.

Severus' unusual movements were very subtle, and in the confusion, no one except Professor Flitwick noticed Severus's little movements.Professor Flitwick took a moment to glance over at the boy who was Severus' priority care.Seeing that the boy's facial features resembled Severus's, Professor Flitwick was shocked at first, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.Keeping his hand, Professor Flitwick chuckled in his heart, no wonder Severus suddenly exchanged tasks with Professor Hipprout today, so it was——

☆, branch

After Severus and Professor Flitwick finished casting the spells for all the first-year students, Severus left first.After Professor Flitwick gave a brief introduction to the four colleges, he led a group of little ones into the auditorium.

Neil's eyes were immediately attracted by the magnificent auditorium.The sky is dotted with stars, and there is no trace of the storm outside.Four long tables were placed side by side in the center of the auditorium. Students from other grades from the four colleges had already taken their seats. Thousands of candles floated above the tables, lighting up the entire auditorium.There is another table at the top of the auditorium, and the professor is sitting on it.At this point, Severus was already sitting at the teacher's seat.Eyes paused on Severus, and Neil looked away.After scanning the four colleges, Neil frowned.He found that Brother Draco, Harry, and Hermione were not at the table, and Ron was the only one in the Gryffindor table, and the seats on both sides of him were empty.

Neil looked back without a trace.The most important thing now is the branch, and he can't take care of other things right now.

In front of the teacher's bench was a four-corner stool, on which was a worn-out hat covered with patches.Neil narrowed his eyes when he saw the hat that didn't fit the entire auditorium.

Suddenly, the hat twisted.There was a long slit at the brim of its hat, like a mouth full of blood—to Neal's great surprise, the hat began to sing:

I am a thinking hat,

More than 1000 years ago I was entrusted with an honorable duty;

From then on

All students are guided by me;

Every thought in your head will be revealed to me,

I will judge the direction of your future life from it.

The wise and learned can enter Ravenclaw,

There, you can deal with the brightest minds;

Hard-working people can get into Hufflepuff,

There, you will meet tough and honest colleagues;

The brave and bold can enter Gryffindor,

There, you will meet brave men with extraordinary courage;

People of pure blood can enter Slytherin,

There, the friendship hidden under ambition is even more rare and sincere.

take me with you

let me take a look

Your future course!

After listening to the song sung by the Sorting Hat, Neil's eyes flashed with clarity.It turned out that the division was divided like this.From the song of the Sorting Hat, Neil has a further understanding of the characteristics of the four colleges.

Professor Flitwick, holding the list, began calling people one by one.Neil showed indifference as he watched the freshmen walk to the front desk, put on the sorting hat, and be sorted into their colleges.

at last.

"Nils Snape!"

There were whispering voices all around.

"Snape, is that Snape?"

"Will this Snape have any connection with Professor Snape?"

"Stop joking, how could Professor Snape have a son!"

All kinds of words whispered in the auditorium.Neil walked up to the front desk with a sullen face.

Putting on the sorting hat, Neil sat on the four-corner stool and raised his head——

With a "boom", the auditorium suddenly became noisy.
