The day of the duel at Hogwarts

The Sorting Hat's song this year is very long, and the content has also been greatly changed from the original content of explaining and praising the quality of the four major houses. Simply put, the content of the Sorting Hat's song this year is to warn everyone about Hogwarts. We are facing huge dangers and enemies, and we need everyone to unite to overcome the difficulties.

Sean looked at the Sorting Hat with interest. He had always ignored this thing. If the behavior of the Sorting Hat was not controlled by Dumbledore, then this hat that looked extremely shabby was somewhat interesting and had a certain power. It has self-will and can also warn of dangers. This kind of ability that is close to prediction cannot be achieved by random magic items. Sean suddenly became very interested in the Sorting Hat.

The birth of this interest is definitely not without reason for a person like Sean who has psychic vision and can predict. This interest is more like an inevitability. The Sorting Hat must have secrets that are enough to attract Sean. exist.

The Sorting Hat's singing voice was very different from previous years, which caused some discussion and uneasiness among the students.

Professor McGonagall glanced at the Sorting Hat with dissatisfaction, but it was obvious that she didn't have much to do about the Sorting Hat. She could only glance at the students below with stern eyes to stop their discussion, and then picked up the list and the Sorting Hat. The usual sorting ceremony began, and the list of the first first-year students to be sorted was read out.

"Euan Abercrombie!"

After hearing Professor McGonagall's words, a slightly panicked little boy stumbled to the bench and sat down. Professor McGonagall put the hat on his head. Fortunately, he had two large ears stuck in the branch. hat, otherwise his entire head might be inside the Sorting Hat.

After a moment, the Sorting Hat loudly announced his house.

"Gryffindor!"

Applause erupted from the Gryffindor table.

Blaise said helplessly: "It's Gryffindor again. In recent years, the number of students assigned to Gryffindor in the sorting ceremony has been increasing, and the number of students in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff has increased." It has also decreased, but it is definitely not as small as the number of people in our college. Compared with Gryffindor, the number of freshmen in our college every year has almost dropped to half."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Harry's reputation as the savior is very good, and Slytherin's reputation is very bad. Many students who are ambiguous will basically not be sorted into our college.

But I am concerned about another point. The number of people in our college is getting smaller and smaller, which is actually related to the decrease in the number of pure-blood wizard children. I think that as time goes by, it is very likely that Slytherin House will no longer be a Colleges that value pure blood, because the number of pure blood wizards will gradually decrease, at that time, maybe Slytherin College will have a new atmosphere. "

This is not Sean's nonsense. In fact, it is a fact that the number of people in Slytherin House is getting smaller and smaller. You must know that in an earlier era, the first thing Slytherin House valued was blood, such as Snape. In fact, it is impossible for half-bloods and squibs like Sean to be sorted into Slytherin House.

But in the current Slytherin House, people like Snape and Sean are all sorted into Slytherin, which shows.

Sooner or later, Slytherin will accept children from ordinary families. These children may have special characteristics that are very suitable for Slytherin in other aspects, but pure blood will probably not appear again.

While Sean was thinking, the sorting ceremony ended.

At this time, Dumbledore stood up again, opened his arms, showed a bright smile, and said: "The sorting ceremony is over, welcome our new students! Of course, we also welcome our old students, welcome you back! There is a lot of time for speeches, but definitely not Now, let’s all enjoy our meal!”

A large amount of food appeared on the long tables of the four major colleges. Everyone was starving. When they saw the food appearing, they immediately lowered their heads and started eating.

Today, Sean's food intake has finally returned to normal as the development of his two talents, Troll Power and Troll Echinose, has finally slowed down. He no longer eats so much, nor does he eat so fast.

Sean put down his knife and fork and wiped the corners of his mouth.

This time I only ate half a turkey and two large pieces of beef shank. Vegetables and potatoes were not included. Sean sighed a little about this. He really ate a lot less. This represented Sean's troll power and troll power. Spiny's growth has almost reached a bottleneck, and in today's battle, his power is playing less and less roles, while magic is playing an increasingly important role, although Sean himself knows that this is a normal situation. , but he still felt a little regretful and nostalgic. The days of chasing the opponent's hammer with a chain hammer and tower shield were really good.

Dangdang!

Dumbledore tapped the cup with his spoon. He might have used some kind of magic. The sound of the knock spread far enough that everyone heard it, and the knock also made everyone quiet.

"Okay, now that we are digesting another extremely rich and delicious meal, I ask everyone to be quiet and listen to me talk about the things to pay attention to in the new semester as usual..."

These precautions are relatively old-fashioned. Sean has listened to them for five years and they are basically the same.

It wasn't until Dumbledore talked about the teachers that Sean looked at Dumbledore again.

"This year, we have three changes in our teaching staff. We are pleased to welcome Professor Umbridge, the special commissioner from the Ministry of Magic, as this year's Care of Magical Creatures teacher. We also want to welcome Joross Professor Jobbins, he will be our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year!”

At this point, Dumbledore paused slightly, and the students from the four major colleges also applauded.

Sean looked at the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Joe Ross Jobbins disguised as his grandfather. He was a tall and burly man with a very resolute face. He looked serious and handsome. He didn't know why. Sean always had a strong sense of déjà vu when he looked at the person his grandfather was pretending to be.

Probably an illusion.

After the applause ended, Dumbledore looked at everyone and introduced the third professor again.

"In last year's Triwizard Tournament, I saw how helpful alchemy was to wizards, so this year I invited a professor who can enlighten everyone on alchemy, and Hogwarts will also officially start alchemy courses, so that Let us all welcome our old friend, the former Triwizard Warrior of Sebeuxbottom School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the current Alchemy Professor at Hogwarts, Fleur Delacour!"
