Hogwarts Card Drawer

Chapter 7: Sorting ceremony

　　 The door of the compartment was opened by Draco, but his face was obviously not as calm as when he left. There was a faint blush on his pale cheeks.

"You should really go with us to teach the **** Weasley family. They are all red-haired, freckled, and they can't afford too many children." Draco Malfoy was in Ke. Ronos' ears kept talking.

　　 Cronos raised his eyebrows slightly, stretched his waist, and then asked in a lazy voice: "So, have you seen that famous boy? Harry Potter."

　　 "Huh, of course." Draco Malfoy snorted coldly. "He is sorry for his name at all, he is willing to stay with those alternatives, just like his stupid parents."

　　 "Okay!" Cronos replied lazily.

　　 Then he looked at the scenery outside the car window. The sun had already set, and the sky showed a deep purple against the background of the woods.

　　 "I think we should put on robes, I think we may be there soon." Cronos suggested.

　　Cronos took off his coat and put on a black robe. The coats of several people were tailor-made by Mrs. Morkin, so there would be no problems with fit.

　　 Chronos's face flushed with excitement, and he saw Draco's face turn paler than before!

　　 "I am still an immature child after all." Cronos smiled in his heart.

　　 The train slowed down, and finally stopped slowly. The students pushed and shoved, flocking to the car door, and down to a dark and small platform. The cold at night made the children shiver.

　　 Then there was a light in the distance, and a rough voice sounded: "First-year freshmen! First-year freshmen come here!"

　　 When he got close to Chronos, he discovered that Hagrid was huge. Even Chronos only reached Hagrid's knees.

　　 Above a crowd of tens of thousands of people, Hagrid continued with a smile on his bearded face.

　　 "Come on, the freshmen in the first grade come with me, watch your feet."

　　 They followed Hagrid, stumbling, stumbling, and walking along a steep and narrow path.

　　 At the end of the narrow path is a black lake. On the high hillside on the opposite bank of the lake stood a towering castle with towers and windows gleaming in the dark.

　　 "There can be no more than four people in the boat every day!" Hagrid's rough voice sounded again.

　　 said he made a small boat by himself.

　　Cronos and Draco boarded a boat, and Crabbe and Gore followed close behind. They were sitting opposite Chronos and Draco, and the moment they got on the boat, Chronos clearly felt the boat sink toward them. He was so scared that Chronos couldn't press his elbow hard against the side of the boat, so his heart was calmer.

　　 A fleet of boats can sail forward across the flat, mirror-like lake, and Chronos’s gaze has been on the inside of the black lake. He knew that there was a giant octopus under the lake.

　　 After a while, they came to the other side of the lake. Under the leadership of Hagrid, he climbed a tunnel in the rock and finally reached the huge oak door in the shadow of the castle.

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

　　 "Thank you, Hagrid, leave it to me next!"

　　Professor McGonagall is a tall, black-haired witch in an emerald-green robe, with a serious and unsmiling expression.

　　 They followed Professor McGonagall along the Shipu floor. Chronos could hear the voices coming from inside the castle. Presumably the freshmen of other grades have already arrived, after all, watching the annual freshman branch is also a major feature of Hogwarts.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said. "The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you go to the restaurant, you must first determine which college you enter. The classification is one item. A very important ceremony, because during your stay at school, the college is like your home at Hogwarts. You have to take classes with other students in the college, stay together in the college dormitory, and spend time together in the college’s common room. After school time.

　　 The names of the four colleges are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each college has its own glorious history and has cultivated outstanding wizards and wizards. During your studies at Hogwarts, your outstanding performance will earn points for your college, and any violations will deduct points for your college. At the end of the year, the college with the highest score will receive the College Cup, which is a high honor. I hope you can win honor for the college no matter which college you are assigned to.

　　 "In a few minutes, the branching ceremony will be held in front of the teachers and students of the school. I suggest that you organize yourself and be more energetic while you wait."

　　 Her gaze shifted to Neville's cloak (cloak strap tied under her left ear) and the dirt in Ron's nose. Harry tried desperately to smooth his hair nervously.

　　Cronos heard Draco's laugh next to him.

　　 "Now, in a single row," Professor McGonagall said to the first-year freshmen, "follow me." They walked out of the room, walked through the foyer, and entered the luxurious dining room through a double door at the back.

　　The students from other classes in the college have all been sitting around four long tables. Above the tables, thousands of candles floating in the air illuminate the dining room. On the four tables were glittering gold plates and goblets. There is another long table on the top table of the restaurant, which is the seat of the teachers. Cronos saw Professor Snape sitting on the far side. Professor McGonagall took the first-year freshmen over there and arranged them in a row facing all the senior class students, with the teachers behind them. The candlelight flickered, and hundreds of faces staring at them looked like pale lanterns.

　　 Then Professor McGonagall put a four-legged stool in front of the freshmen, and Professor McGonagall put a top wizard hat on the stool. The hat was patched, worn out, and extremely dirty.

　　 After seeing the hat, Cronos' heartbeat once again ushered in a new peak. UU Reading www.uukanshu.cOM

　　 There is no sound in the restaurant. Then, the hat twisted. There was a wide slit in the brim of the hat, like a mouth—the hat began to sing:

　　 You may think I’m not pretty,

　　 But don’t judge people by their appearance,

　　 If you can find a hat more beautiful than me,

　　 I can eat myself.

　　 You can make your bowler hats black and shiny,

　　 make your top silk hats smooth and crisp,

　　 I’m the magic hat used in the Hogwarts test,

　　 is naturally higher than your hat. Any thoughts hidden in your mind,

　　 can't hide the golden eyes of the magic hat,

　　 put it on for a try,
