Chapter 33 The sorting ceremony begins!

After the ghosts floated across the opposite wall and disappeared, Professor McGonagall came back, holding a scroll in his hand, and raised his chin and said, "Now, stand in a single file and follow me."

Go out of the room, go through the main hall, and then enter the dining room through a double door at the back.

Thousands of candles above the head floated in the air, illuminating the entire restaurant. Although it was shocking, Ed thought the crystal chandelier was more beautiful.The starry sky shines on the roof, which is more beautiful than the outside

The senior students were already sitting around the four long tables, pointing at the freshmen and discussing in whispers.

Ed hates this feeling of being watched, which reminds him of the monkey in his previous life who was locked up in a laboratory and studied by thousands of colleagues.

Elizabeth behind Ed whispered, "They all seem to be looking at you Ed, your white wizard robe is too conspicuous."

"I know." Ed lowered his head, trying to cover his face with Draco's back in front of him.

And Draco in front of Ed seemed to think that others were watching him, raised his head proudly, and showed what he thought was the most handsome smile on his face.

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, worn out, and very dirty.

When the Sorting Hat appeared, everyone turned their eyes away and stared at the Sorting Hat.Ed, who felt the eyesight around him diminished, had the opportunity to raise his head. He saw the brim of the sorting hat on the stool split, and sang a song like a mouth:
You may think I'm not beautiful, but don't judge by appearance, if you can find a more beautiful hat than mine, I can eat myself...

After the Sorting Hat sang, there was thunderous applause. The Devil Hat bowed to the four dining tables one by one, and then stood still.

And Professor McGonagall unfolded the sheepskin scroll in her hand, and said loudly: "Whoever I call the name now, whoever sits on the stool, puts on the hat, and lets the Sorting Hat decide your whereabouts."

"Hannah Abbott!", "Hufflepuff!"

……

Hermione Granger!"

Hermione almost ran up to the stool and put her hat on her head hastily.

"Gryffindor!" shouted the hat.

……

"Draco Malfoy!"

Malfoy swaggered over and got his wish instantly, screaming "Slytherin!" almost as soon as the hat touched his head.

……

"Harry Potter!"

The thin Harry stepped forward and put on his hat.And he took longer than anyone before him, and he seemed to be communicating with the sorting hat.They struck a deal, and the Sorting Hat shouted, "Gryffindor!"

Then came Ron, who was also sorted into Gryffindor.His older brothers were clearly delighted, cheering.

At this time, the sorting ceremony was surprisingly long, and it was usually time to eat at this time.However, there are still more than half of the little wizards standing, and Ed and Elizabeth are one of them.

"Elizabeth Mountbatten!"

"It's my turn!" Elizabeth obviously didn't expect that she would trot up ahead of Ed, and Professor McGonagall put on her hat.

"Slytherin!"

After the Sorting Hat contacted Elizabeth, after asking her a bit, it announced the college that belonged to her.

And Ed looked strangely at Elizabeth who ran to the long table in Slytherin with a blushing face. She didn't belong to half and half, and mixed blood didn't count. Why did the Sorting Hat sort her into Slytherin?

Is it because she is a nobleman among Muggles?

Those who had already been sorted, and the other seniors quietly looked at the freshmen who had not been sorted.

Ed watched the people behind him walk up one by one, and he had a good premonition in his heart, especially after he saw Dumbledore's "bad intentions" in his eyes, this premonition became even stronger.

When Professor McGonagall finished calling the last name, he put away the sheepskin scroll, held it in front of his lower abdomen and looked at Ed.

"Hufflepuffs!"

After the Sorting Hat shouted, the little wizard ran excitedly behind Hufflepuff's long table, and the audience fell silent.Everyone silently looked at the white figure standing in the middle of the restaurant.

"It must be a bad feeling," Fred, one of the twins, said to his brother.

"Hmm, I think you are envious." George replied.

"Don't you?"

The two looked at each other, and then laughed.

Seeing that Ed hadn't moved yet, Professor McGonagall stretched out a hand to Ed: "Come on, Mr. Ed, it's your turn. I think everyone must be starving."

"It's best to serve some pre-dinner desserts next year." After Ed replied as if joking, he took a deep breath and walked forward.

Every step is compelling.

If you want to change the world, you have to adapt to such a scene, don't you?

After sitting on the stool, Professor McGonagall put the sorting hat on Ed's head, and then stepped back.

"Hello, Mr. Adler May, send my regards to Lord Tree God." The voice of the Sorting Hat rang in Ed's ear.

"Who?" asked a puzzled tone.

The Sorting Hat was obviously surprised to hear Ed's tone, and asked Ed: "Don't you know?"

"What should I know?"

Ed vaguely felt that what the Sorting Hat said was related to Groot.

"Since you don't know, then Lord Tree God must have his own considerations. I'm sorry, sir, I can't say more. As long as you know, we are already more complete. If you ask other questions, I won't answer them, sorry. "

"what?"

"Let's start sorting." The Sorting Hat changed the topic: "The permission has been obtained, let me take a good look, um... from the latest, how is Gryffindor?
You are brave and upright, with a little impulsiveness.In Gryffindor, you will definitely make a lot of friends. "

Ed wanted to grab the hat off now, hold the lighter, and ask what it said?What does it have to do with him?But under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ed gave up.

Ed replied to the Sorting Hat: "It's the same wherever you go."

"Hmm~ It doesn't matter, let me take a closer look..." The Sorting Hat hummed:

"It's been a long time. Wait a minute, what are these formulas? Maybe Ravenclaw's crown can help you, and Ravenclaw's people may help you solve academic problems."

"Wait a second, pure blood, it's not bad to go to Slytherin, your charisma will make everyone there obey you, and you can have more followers."

"How about you go to Hufflepuff? You're bright, brave, and full-blooded, but you aspire to be hardworking and admire those who see things through. Go to Hufflepuff and you should be able to learn a lot.

Acquiring may be a better choice than owning. "

"Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, why don't you just choose one?"

The Sorting Hat was like Grandma Perenelle, nagging non-stop in Ed's ear.

And others are also curious, why did this white boy with black hair sit on it for so long?They are starving.

Turn the camera to Voldemort, who is sneaking into the kitchen with the snake Snoke.They were both starving too.

"Snooker! Aren't snakes able to go months without food?"

"Why starve yourself when you can eat?"

"Keep your voice down! You're too loud! A house-elf will find out! Damn house-elf! Damn Adlermay! Damn Harry Potter!"

Voldemort hugged the snake's head and pulled it back around the corner as he saw a house-elf.
