Following Hagrid's lead, the freshmen entered the Hogwarts castle smoothly.At the door stood an unsmiling dark-haired witch in a green satin cloak.

"Professor McGonagall, this freshman class is here." Hagrid said respectfully.

"Okay, thank you Hagrid." McGonagall nodded slightly towards the man, then cleared his throat towards the dozens of students in front of him: "I am the vice principal of Hogwarts School and the Transfiguration class Professor Minerva McGonagall, the opening banquet is about to begin, but before you take your seats in the auditorium, you must first confirm which college you have entered. The sorting ceremony is a very important ceremony, because you are in During school, the college is like your home at Hogwarts. You will attend classes with other students in the college, live in the college dormitory together, and spend your spare time together in the college common room."

After she finished speaking, she took the students into a small room at the other end of the hall: "The names of the four houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has Both have their own glorious histories and have produced outstanding wizards. During your time at Hogwarts, your outstanding performance will earn your house points, while any violations will lose points for your house .At the end of the year, the house with the highest score will win the house cup, which is a great honor. I hope that no matter which house you are assigned to, you can bring glory to the house."

Mag looked at the children in front of him again: "Now, I suggest that you all tidy up your appearance, so as not to be embarrassed in front of all the teachers and students because you are not energetic or not neat enough."

Cedric held Rosalind's hand the whole time, and at this moment the two of them also entered the auditorium hall together with the crowd.

The roof is a star river that shines brightly because of magic, and the drapes and crystal lamps hanging around make the whole interior extraordinarily gorgeous.Students from other grades of the college were already sitting around four long tables, above which thousands of candles floating in mid-air illuminated the auditorium.Glittering gold plates and goblets stood on four tables.There is another long table on the upper stage of the auditorium, which is the teacher's seat.An old man in a light purple robe with a long white beard was sitting in the middle seat.

I saw Mag took out an unusually old and even patched dirty hat and put it on the four-corner stool just now.

The noisy auditorium fell silent almost instantly, and all eyes were on the worn-out hat.

Suddenly, it was seen twisting, and a wide slit opened like a mouth—and the hat began to sing:

"You may think I'm not pretty,

But don't judge a book by its cover,

If you can find a more beautiful hat than mine,

I can eat myself.

You can make your bowler hats black and shiny,

Make your top hats smooth and crisp,

I'm the Sorting Hat at Hogwarts,

Naturally, it is much taller than your hats.

any thought hidden in your mind,

Can't hide from the golden eyes of the Sorting Hat,

Try it on, and I'll tell you,

Which college should you go to.

You may belong to Gryffindor,

There is courage buried in the bottom of my heart,

Their courage, boldness and chivalry,

Make Gryffindor stand out;

You may belong to Hufflepuff,

The people there are upright and faithful,

Hufflepuffs are stoic and honest,

Not afraid of hard work;

If you're smart,

Into wise old Ravenclaw, perhaps,

Those who are wise and learned,

Will always meet their fellows there;

Maybe you'll be in Slytherin,

Make sincere friends here,

But those cunning and insidious will stop at nothing,

to achieve their goals.

Come put on me!Don't be afraid!

Never panic!

in my hand (although i don't even have a hand)

you are absolutely safe

Because I am a thinking magic hat! "

After the hat sang, the audience applauded thunderously.The Hat bowed to each of the four tables and then remained still.

McGonagall also stood beside him: "Next, I will go up and sit down when I read the name, and when the Sorting Hat assigns your colleges, I will go to the corresponding long table."

She unfolded the list in her hand and glanced at the group of freshmen again.

"Fred Weasley." McGonagall read out the first name on the list, a boy with red hair bounced up and sat down on the seat, and McGonagall put the hat on his head superior.

"Gryffindor!" The Sorting Hat quickly responded.

Satisfied, the boy walked towards the long Gryffindor table, where there had been applause as soon as the Sorting Hat gave its results.

"Next, George Weasley." The green robe professor read again.

A red-haired boy who looked exactly like the boy before also ran up, Rosalind thought for a moment that time had turned back.

"It's the twins of the Weasley family." Cedric seemed to see a trace of doubt in her eyes, and answered her in a low voice.

Not surprisingly, he was in Gryffindor with his brother.

"Don't be nervous, Seid, I'll be with you." Rosalind shook the boy's hand back vigorously, and she didn't know why she comforted him so suddenly—according to the usual, this kind of time is usually received She is the one who comforts.

"Yeah." Those gray eyes looked at her calmly like a gentle sea.

A few more people went up, and Rosalind also felt nervous, but she still had more expectations than anxiety. After all, in her mind, the result of the sorting was not much different—as long as she could be with Cedric.

She found that sometimes the hat called out the house's name right away, but other times it took a while to make a decision.

"Cedric Diggory." The boy looked up upon hearing this, and Rosalind also gave him an encouraging look: "Come on!"

Walking forward step by step, Cedric sat quietly in his seat and waited for the Sorting Hat's judgment.

"Very brave, very smart, and may become a good leader in the future, um... integrity and kindness are more prominent.

"Hufflepuff!" it finally yelled.

After Professor McGonagall heard the result, he took the sorting hat off his head. Cedric glanced at the girls in the crowd, and his mind was mixed for a while-he didn't think he would be in Hufflepuff, although He doesn't discriminate against colleges, and he also believes in the judgment of the Sorting Hat, but will Rosalind really enter the same college as him?

For the first time, the boy's brows did not straighten out when he looked into those dark brown eyes. Rosalind naturally took a full look at the complicated expression on his face.

Amidst the welcome applause, Cedric quickly adjusted his expression, raised a very gentlemanly and standard smile and walked towards Hufflepuff's long table.

After taking his seat, Cedric thanked those who applauded: "Cedric Diggory, I am very glad to be in Hufflepuff. Please take care of me in the future."

Turning her head to watch the sorting ceremony, Rosalind was wringing her hands together, and she would unconsciously wring her fingers every time she felt nervous.

"Rosalind Shen" McGonagall finally called her name. The girl first turned her head to look at Hufflepuff's Cedric, then secretly gritted her teeth and walked to the stool and sat on it.

"Wow~ A beautiful lady with oriental blood. Let me think about it, which house should I put you in?" The Sorting Hat pondered, "Wisdom Ravenclaw? You have a courageous belief deep in your heart , Gryffindor isn't bad either. Well... but Slytherin might be for you too..."

"Can I go to Hufflepuff, Mr. Sorting Hat? Please!" Rosalind hurriedly interrupted it, "I want to go to Hufflepuff, can I?"

"Honest and kind Hufflepuff? It might not be your best choice, of course I'm not saying you're a bad boy—I still think the other three houses are more suitable for you..."

"But I want to go to Hufflepuff, and I promised my friend that I will share a house with him! Could you please reconsider?" Rosalind's tone became more urgent, although Draco looked down on Hufflepuff house in his heart , and said she would stop playing with her if she got into Hufflepuff, but she didn't really want to be separated from Cedric.

"Hufflepuff's friend? Is that the boy named Diggory just now?" The Sorting Hat laughed gossip a few times, "Then do as you wish, my child."

"Hufflepuffs!"
