Retirement from Hogwarts

Jack walked slowly to the stool, and then he put the hat on his head.

"You little guy actually think I'm dirty?!" A voice appeared in Jack's mind. "Well, it's difficult. You have an indomitable heart, but you have plenty of curiosity about unknown areas. Llanffindor and Ravenclaw are both suitable. Where should I send you?"

"I choose Ravenclaw.",

"Ravenclaw? No, I think you are more suitable to go to Gryffindor. With your personality, it will be difficult to make friends with those Ravenclaw nerds."

"Maybe the Sorting Hat, but I still prefer Ravenclaw. According to the rules set by the founder, you can't go against the wishes of the students, right."

"..." The Sorting Hat was silent for a while.

"Ravenclaw!" Then the Sorting Hat announced

People at the four tables on the far left began to applaud.When he reached the empty seat at the table, Qiu stood up excitedly and hugged him.

. . . . . .

"Hermione Granger."

The Sorting Hat was silent for a long time and finally:

"Ravenclaw." The Sorting Hat said somewhat reluctantly, and his voice was not as high-pitched as before.

Jack and the other Ravenclaw students began to applaud.Hermione ran over quickly.

"I almost thought the Sorting Hat would sort me into Gryffindor," she said nervously to Jack and Autumn. "That broken hat has been trying to induce me to go to Gryffindor. Your previous guess is indeed correct. The Sorting Hat cannot go against my own wishes. Otherwise, I will be sorted into Gryffindor by that broken hat." went."

At this time, a huge cheer came from the Gryffindor table. It turned out that Harry Potter was sorted into Gryffindor.

With the last Blaise Shabini being sorted into Slytherin.Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment, picked up the Sorting Hat and left.

Jack looked down at the empty golden plate in front of him and realized that he was already hungry.The snacks he had for lunch seemed to disappear from his stomach in an instant.Albus Dumbledore stood up.He looked at the students with a smile on his face and stretched out his arms to them. Nothing seemed to make him happier than to see the students gathered together. "Welcome!" he said, "Welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before the banquet begins, I want to say a few words. That is: Idiot! Crying nose! Residue! Screw! "Thank you everyone!" He sat down again. Everyone clapped and cheered.

"Is he - a little crazy?" Hermione asked doubtfully.

"Crazy?" a senior student opposite Hermione asked in a low voice, "Of course not, try reading that sentence in Latin."

"Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! May Merlin protect you. So that's it." Hermione said with sudden realization.

"I am Penelope Crevat, prefect of Ravenclaw. Welcome to Ravenclaw." She said to Hermione and Jack. "Would you like some fries?"

Hermione stared at the food that appeared in front of her in stunned silence, and was about to say something.She was choked by a piece of veal steak that Jack thrust his fork into her. "Hermione-chan, it's time to eat now. If there are any problems, we will have time to solve them later. Let's eat now." He said to Hermione.

Hermione glanced at him a little dissatisfied and decided not to argue with him this time.Started to eat.

After everyone had filled their stomachs, the rest of the food disappeared from the plates.The plates and forks became as shiny as ever.After a while, dessert came.There are all kinds of ice cream and puddings in various flavors, including apple pie, jam cake, chocolate sponge cake, fried jam donuts, wine-soaked jam pudding, strawberry, jelly, rice pudding.

Finally, the pudding disappeared and Professor Dumbledore stood up again.The restaurant also returned to silence.

"Oh, now that everyone has eaten and drank enough, I want to say a few more words to everyone. At the beginning of the semester, I have a few notes for everyone."

"First-year freshmen, note that students are not allowed to enter the woods on campus. Some of our older classmates should also keep this in mind."

Dumbledore's shining eyes flicked in the direction of the Weasley twins.

"Also, Mr. Filch, the administrator, asked me to remind everyone not to do magic in the corridors between classes.

"The review of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of this term. Anyone who is interested in participating in the house team should contact Mrs. Hooch.

"Finally, I must tell everyone that anyone who does not want to suffer an accident and a painful death should not enter the corridor on the north side of the fourth floor on the west side of the main castle."

Jack noticed that when Dumbledore said this, the prefects of each college frowned slightly, and then smiled with relief.

"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore said loudly.Jack noticed that the other teachers' smiles seemed to freeze.

Dumbledore flicked his wand lightly, and a long golden ribbon flew out of the wand, twisting and coiling lines of text like a snake above the high dining table.

"Each choose their favorite tune," said Dumbledore. "Get ready, sing!"

So all the teachers and students sang loudly: Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, please teach us knowledge, no matter we are bald old people or children with injured knees, our The mind is open to some interesting things.

Because now our minds are empty, full of air, dead flies and trivial things, teach us some valuable knowledge, give us back what we have forgotten, you just do your best, leave the rest to us, we will study hard, until it turns into dung.

Everyone sang the school song in seventy-eight.Only the Weasley twins continued to sing along to the slow melody of "Funeral March."Dumbledore used his wand to conduct the last few bars for the two of them, and his applause was loudest when they were done singing.

"Music," he said, wiping his eyes, "is more charming than anything we do here! It's bedtime now. Let's go back to the dormitories."
