A day of learning magic at Hogwarts

One by one, the little wizards walked out of the room.

They passed through a narrow corridor and arrived in the hall of Hogwarts.

This is a magnificent hall. On the rostrum is a long table with all kinds of teachers sitting on it. The first-year students all stand in front of the long table on the rostrum, forming a neat formation.

In front of them, four long tables were placed vertically, and hundreds of Hogwarts old students were applauding them eagerly.

Above, there was a velvety black sky with twinkling stars, which looked very beautiful.

"It's been enchanted here. It looks like the sky outside. I spent time in "Hogwarts: A School History."" A girl in the crowd whispered.

To be honest, if you just rely on intuition, it is hard to believe that there is really a ceiling above.

Magic is indeed a wonderful thing.

Professor McGonagall placed a four-legged stool in front of them, and then placed a pointed wizard's hat on the stool.

It was a very tattered hat, full of patches and extremely dirty.Ian felt that its material was not as good as the hat he used to perform magic tricks.

Then, the hat suddenly began to twist and cracked a gap like the mouth——

It spoke, and with its hoarse voice, began to sing an unpleasant song.

That soul singer-like singing voice really makes people want to cover their ears.

But Ian had to force himself to listen.

After a few minutes of suffering, the performance was finally over...

Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, a roll of parchment in hand.

……

As the hat finished singing, the audience burst into applause; the action of the broken hat seemed to be bowing in all directions.

Ian's brain was working rapidly, filtering the content of the song that Hat just sang.

First, it boasted that its name was the "Sorting Hat" and that it could read people's minds.

Then, it introduced the content of the "Solution Ceremony"——

That is to put on the Sorting Hat, and then the Sorting Hat will tell you which house you will be assigned to.

Among them, the children who are courageous, courageous, and have bravery buried deep in their hearts will go to Gryffindor.

Children who are upright and loyal, tough and honest, and not afraid of hard work will go to Hufflepuff.

Children who are smart, smart, and talented will go to Ravenclaw.

Children who are cunning, ambitious, and sincere will go to Slytherin.

"This is too childish!" Ian did not say a word, but just made this mouth shape.

To be honest, except for the hat-wearing part, he had already heard Ernie explain all the other information in general on the train... But he never expected that the expected and sacred sorting ceremony would be such a child's play. .

You know, every new student has to spend seven years of study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

In the next seven years of life, everything will be decided by a hat?

Moreover, the standards for assigning colleges are completely unacceptable to Ian.

A person's life is long, and a person's personality will also change.For an eleven or twelve year old child, his mind is most likely completely immature... The character he displays at this point in time will completely determine his life for the next seven years...

Is this a bit hasty?

more importantly--

The best quality of Gryffindor House is courage.But courage, if it is not supported by wisdom, is it just recklessness?

The best quality of Ravenclaw is wisdom.However, if wisdom is not accompanied by diligence, can it really fulfill any talent?

The best quality of Slytherin is sincerity.But if a group of children who have not yet matured in their outlook on life gather together to make friends and form cliques, isn't that really raising a worm?

At this time, Ian could not agree with such standards at all.

……

But this is meaningless. After all, he is just an ordinary freshman and cannot stand up to change everything in front of him.

The children around him breathed a sigh of relief.

Most of them originally thought they were going to undergo a rigorous and cruel test... but they didn't expect that they only needed to wear a hat, so they all relaxed.

As for Ian, he actually hopes that the "sorting ceremony" at Hogwarts is an ordinary test.

Although that might look a bit clumsy, it would at least have a trace to follow and not be as sloppy as it is now.

Soon, the sorting ceremony began——

Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, holding a roll of parchment in her hand.

"Whoever's name I call now will put on his hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the sorting!" she said.

and the first name was read: "Hannah Abbott!"

The first letter of the surname Abbott is A and the second letter is B. The reason why she was ranked first is that the order of the sorting ceremony seems to be based on the first letter of the surname.

Then, it won't be long before it's my turn.

Ian thought secretly: After all, his surname, Drizzt, starts with the letter D and is also in a very front position; so it shouldn't take much time.

A little girl with a rosy face and two golden braids stumbled out of the crowd and put on the hat.

The hat almost covered her eyes.

Ian realized that she seemed to be the fourth person in the boat when he came.

After a moment-

"Hufflepuff!" shouted the Hat.

The students at the table on the right applauded Hannah; among them, Ian found Cedric Diggory in the crowd.

"Susan Bones!" Professor McGonagall called out the name of the second freshman.

Another girl trotted over.

"Hufflepuff!" She was sorted into the same house as Hannah.

One after another, the new students began their sorting ceremony.

Terry Butt was sorted into Ravenclaw House.

Mandy Broghe was also sorted to Ravenclaw.

Lavender Brown and Millicent Borders became new students in Gryffindor and Slytherin respectively.

And then it’s our turn——

"Ian Twisted Fate!" Professor McGonagall shouted.
