Schutz III

Hogwarts, here we come!

Hagrid raised one huge fist and knocked three times on the castle gate.The door opened instantly.A tall, dark-haired sorceress in emerald green robes stood in front of the gate, looking serious.

"First-year freshman, Professor McGonagall," said Hagrid.

Professor McGonagall nodded, "Thank you, Hagrid. Let me pick you up here."

She opened the door wide so that the students behind her could easily see the torches blazing around the stone walls of the vast foyer.The ceiling is so high you can barely see the top.On the front is a luxurious marble staircase leading directly to the upper floor.

Schulz and the others followed Professor McGonagall along the stone floor, but they didn't go in the direction of the hall, but came to a small empty room at the other end of the hall.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you go to the dining hall, you must first confirm which college you have entered. Classification is a This is an important ceremony, because the college is like your home at Hogwarts while you are at school. You will attend classes with other students in the college, live in the college dormitory together, and spend time together in the college common room After school time."

"The names of the four houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own glorious history and has produced outstanding wizards and wizards. You are in Huo During Gewartz's studies, your excellent performance will earn your house points, and any violations will make your house lose points.At the end of the year, the house with the highest score will win the house cup, which is very high Honor. I hope that no matter which house you are assigned to, you will bring honor to the house.

"In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of the teachers and students of the whole school. I suggest that you tidy up yourselves and be more energetic while waiting."

Professor McGonagall said, looking around, under her focused gaze, some people quietly pulled their robes and stroked their somewhat messy hair - of course, Schulz noticed - mainly Redhead Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom.

"I'll pick you up when it's ready over there. And, please keep quiet while waiting." Professor McGonagall said, scanning the new students in front of him with sharp eyes.

Then, having said that, she left the room.Schultz could almost hear the countless breathing sounds eased in an instant.Well, he thought, Professor McGonagall's serious aura is really not in vain!

After Professor McGonagall left, everyone began to discuss the way of sorting in whispers.Seeing that everyone, even Draco, was in high spirits, Schulz, a fake real person who is a time traveler, said that he couldn't afford to be hurt. Although knowing the plot in advance has an advantage, sometimes it still lacks a lot of fun. For example - now.

Shutz looked around boredly, and suddenly saw the red-haired Weasley in the crowd talking loudly.

"Always pass a test, I suppose. Fred said it hurt us a lot, but I think he was joking," Schulz heard Ron say to Harry.

"Oh, look, that skunk, the red-haired Weasley, he's making a point again, in such a rude voice!" Draco curled his lips in disdain.

"Draco, you can't expect a pure-blooded traitor to maintain some basic manners, can you?" Blaise smiled, "However, Shutz doesn't seem to be nervous! Why, any news?" Blaise Leaning forward, he asked.

"No, it's just, I guess, there won't be any danger!" Schultz twitched the corners of his mouth, do I have to tell you that I knew a long time ago that I used a tattered hat that has been through the millennium to treat you and me Sorting?Mouth!

"I really want to know why Mom and Dad are always reluctant to reveal even a little bit of the situation. In fact, we will always know, don't we?" Pan Xi straightened her appearance again, and said rather resentfully.

Shutz was about to say something, but his eyes saw a silver-colored blood-stained ghost floating in his direction. His eyes were empty but stared at him directly.Severe sadness struck, and Schultz couldn't breathe for a moment, and unconsciously overflowed with a soft voice: "Baro!"

"Did you say something?" Pansy asked suspiciously.

Schultz looked again, and the figure of the bloody Barrow had disappeared. Schultz said a little dullly, "No, it's nothing, Pansy."

The freshmen waited for a while before Professor McGonagall came back.

"Now, freshmen," Professor McGonagall glanced over the nervous children with serious eyes, "line up in a single file and follow me."

The freshmen quickly stood up after Professor McGonagall finished speaking, and followed Professor McGonagall out of the room, through the foyer, and through a double door at the back into the luxurious dining room.Students from other grades in the school were already sitting around four long tables, above which thousands of candles floating in the air illuminated the dining room.Glittering gold plates and goblets stood on four tables.There is another long table on the table at the top of the restaurant, which is the teacher's seat.Shutz saw the gloomy potions professor there, who was talking impatiently with Dumbledore.Professor McGonagall took the first-years over there and had them line up facing all the seniors, with the teachers behind them.Candles flickered in the hall, and the hundreds of faces watching them looked like pale lanterns.The ghosts also shone dimly among the students with dim dots of silver light.And looking up from here, you can see stars twinkling on the velvety black ceiling.

Professor McGonagall gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first-year students, and placed a pointed wizard hat on the stool.The hat was patched, the black brim so worn that the inside was showing, and, above all, it was terribly dirty.

"Looks like we just need to put on that hat!" Blaise said with relief.

"But, he's dirty. Bad news, isn't it?" Pansy shook her head, seeming to be worrying about how she'd put up with that hat.

At this time, the black hat sang a song: "You may think that I am not beautiful, but don't judge people by their appearance. If you can find a more beautiful hat than me, I can eat myself."

"You can make your bowler hats black and shiny, and your top hats smooth and crisp. I am the magic hat used for the Hogwarts test, so I am naturally superior to your hats. Any thoughts hidden in your mind, You can't hide from the devil's hat and the golden eyes. Put it on and try it, and I will tell you which house you should be assigned to. You may belong to Gryffindor, where there is bravery buried in the bottom of my heart, their courage Gryffindors are distinguished by boldness, boldness, and boldness; you may belong to Hufflepuff, where people are upright and loyal, and Hufflepuff students are stoic and honest, and they are not afraid of hard work; Wise old Ravenclaws, those wise and learned, will always meet their kind there; you may enter Slytherin, you may make true friends here, but the cunning and treacherous will Do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Come wear me! Don't be afraid! Don't panic! In my hands (even though I don't even have a hand) you are absolutely safe because I am a thinking man magic hat!"

After the Sorting Hat finished singing, there was no sound in the hall.Perhaps, the singing is too beautiful?Schultz thought quite casually, and then couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, well, that's impossible, although everyone did relax because of this, Schultz glanced at Draco and they instantly revealed The distasteful but indeed relaxed expression.Finally, under the long-awaited eyes of everyone, especially the freshmen, Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward with a roll of parchment in his hand.

"Now, whoever I call by name will put on this sorting hat and sit on the stool, and then," Professor McGonagall revealed to the freshmen the first one of the night - at least what the freshmen saw The first smile, "Then, you can wait for the sorting!"

"Brown Lavender," cried Professor McGonagall.

A chocolate-colored girl ran up, she became the first freshman in Gryffindor, and when she sat down at the long table in Gryffindor House, she received a very warm welcome and greeting.

After that, Hermione Granger was also sorted into Gryffindor.

It didn't take long for Professor McGonagall to read: "Leviathan Shutz."

So Shutz walked up very calmly.He took the sorting hat from Professor McGonagall, put it on, and sat on the stool.

"I didn't expect to see you again in my lifetime!"

The voice of the sorting hat came to Schulz's mind, different from the weird singing, at this moment, his voice sounded heavy and——sad.

"Have you met me?" Shutz asked hesitantly.

"..."

"Why do you say that?"

"Slytherin!" The Sorting Hat quickly said the name of the house, and then remained silent.

Shutz took off the Sorting Hat, walked to the Slytherin table, and sat on the left side of the first-year table.Draco was sorted into Slytherin as soon as the hat touched his head.He sat next to Shutz.Then came the climax—when Harry Potter's name was pronounced by Professor McGonagall, the hall fell silent again with occasional whispers, "Is that Potter? The boy?"

Shutz noticed that even the professors on the teacher's bench were looking at Harry, including the Potions professor, but Professor Snape's eyes seemed a little different compared to the others!Shutz squinted and smiled watching.

After about a quarter of an hour, the Sorting Hat shouted: "Gryffindor!"

Then, the long table of Gryffindor was boiling, and even the other two houses except Slytherin looked at Gryffindor with envious eyes.

Then, Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini were also sorted into Slytherin, and Ron Weasley was sorted into Gryffindor.

"Oh, that skunk only deserves to be in Gryffindor, you know, not even Hufflepuff." Draco sneered.

Shutz nodded, but his thoughts were still on the words of the sorting hat.He was upset about the Bloody Barrow and the Sorting Hat, but he didn't understand why, and it was a terrible feeling!

When Professor McGonagall left with the parchment, Dumbledore stood up.

"Welcome to Hogwarts to start a new school year! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. That is: idiot! sneeze! scum! screw! Thank you!" Dumbledore said happily.

"Oh, old madman Dumbledore!" Blaise frowned.

"However, he is a great wizard." Pansy said in a slightly displeased voice.

When the plates were full of food, everyone's voice gradually became quieter.

Schultz also started eating the steak from his own plate.Suddenly, a figure lightly landed beside him, and a burst of cold air seeped over.

"Won't you have some baked potatoes?" came a slightly dull voice due to its hoarseness.

Shutz turned his head and saw the bloody Barrow staring at him intently.For some reason, Schulz looked at the silvery bloodstains on the bloody man Barrow, feeling no fear, only some inexplicable sadness.

Seeing that Schultz didn't reply, Barrow said again: "Let's have some baked potatoes, you'll like it."

Schulz nodded, took some baked potatoes on the plate, and turned to look at Barrow, "Thank you, Barrow, I really like baked potatoes."

Barrow's lips moved when he heard this, and even before Schultz saw his movements clearly and could tell whether he was laughing or just a movement, Barrow returned to the expressionless state of sluggishness.

After everyone finished their dinner, listened to Dumbledore's instructions, and sang the distorted school song in pain, they followed their prefects back to each college.So the first years of Slytherin followed their prefect, Brian Clifford, down to the dungeons.

Brian led the little snakes through a labyrinth of dark corridors to the door of Slytherin's common room.He turned around and looked at the nervous freshman in front of him, and said calmly, "Remember the password, and never forget it like a stupid lion. If you can't remember it, no one will help you."

Seeing the little snakes nodding, Brian turned around and said the password to the empty and wet stone wall in front of him: "Pure blood."

A stone door hidden in the stone wall slowly opened in response to the sound.Everyone walked in, and students from other grades were already waiting there.

After the freshmen stood up in unison, Brian came to the black-haired boy sitting on the sofa in the middle, bowed slightly, straightened up after getting a nod from the boy, and stood behind the boy.

"Freshmen," the dark-haired boy said, "you should be honored that you are in Slytherin."

"Since you are in Slytherin, you must become a real Slytherin. Never forget this!"

"I am the leader of the college, and each grade will also elect a leader."

"However, remember, the leader is not chosen solely by strength. Not only do you need to be the winner of tonight's chief challenge, but you also need to win the support of more than half of the people in your grade within the first month, or, The black-haired boy's dark blue eyes lightly swept across the freshmen, "Choose who you support."

"Finally, welcome, new Slytherin. I'm Duke Douglas."
