Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

Because Harry and Ron didn't miss the train, they didn't have to sneak Mr. Weasley's speeder to school, only to have the precious speeder beaten black and blue by the Whomping Willow.At this time, they had arrived in the auditorium early and were playing and playing with their classmates.

When Dudley and the newbies put on their black pointed Hogwarts hats outside the auditorium and walked cautiously into the auditorium, Harry and his friends were applauding desperately at the long table in their own house.

Although he was fully mentally prepared, Dudley's eyes were opened by the magical magic hall of Hogwarts.

Hundreds of red candles were suspended in mid-air, illuminating the four long tables filled with people as brightly as day. The golden plates and goblets shone in the candlelight, and the silver tableware was lined up. , flew to each seat by himself.

The ceiling seemed to be transparent, perfectly displaying the star-studded night sky above their heads, which was clearer and more spectacular than what they could see with the Hubble Telescope.

In front of the professor's table in the deepest part of the auditorium, the miniaturized Professor Flitwick was wearing a small white shirt and overalls, and brought a chair. At the same time, he was wearing glasses and his hair was tightly tied into a small round bun. Professor McGonagall, who has a bun, is putting the patched, dirty and torn Hogwarts Sorting Hat on the chair.

Dumbledore, who was tall and had a beard half a meter long, wore a funny hat that looked a bit like a nightcap. He made the opening remarks with a smile, and then the exciting sorting ceremony began.

Although Dudley was also looking forward to which hospital he would be assigned to, he was more concerned about how to find his hunting target "Odo Robin". One day was gone in the blink of an eye, and he still had 65 hours left. , Hogwarts has a nighttime curfew, which is especially strict for new students. If they are locked in the dormitory, they will have no freedom for at least ten hours.

Dudley started from the classroom seat and looked at each one one by one, hoping to get some information, but except for Snape, who had a hook nose and a trademark poker face, he glared at him hard after feeling his gaze. , everyone else was paying attention as they watched the freshmen go to put on the sorting hat one by one, and then were welcomed by the seniors of their colleges and walked to their tables to sit down.

Ginny got her wish and was sorted into Gryffindor. The Weasley brothers were so excited that they wanted to pick up the plate and bang it hard, but they gave up when McGonagall and Snape gave them a "death stare" at the same time.

Dudley's eyes were attracted by the blond man wearing an exaggerated aqua robe. He guessed that this was the so-called idol in the hearts of middle-aged and elderly women - Gilderoy Lockhart. If there was anyone in the room who was the most suspicious, it was Gilderoy Lockhart. Dudley felt that it was this boring old man who was so unlike a "normal" wizard.

"Dudley Dursley!" Professor McGonagall in front called Dudley's name twice before he reacted after being pushed by Philo, which caused a burst of laughter from the Slytherin table.

Malfoy said in a voice that most people could hear: "Don't put this little fat bird in Slytherin. He can go anywhere. If he sits on our table, I won't be able to eat anything!"

Pansy asked weakly: "Draco, why do you call him little fat bird?"

"You're a fat pig-like rookie!" Malfoy and the losers laughed.

Dudley was too lazy to pay attention to him, and strode to the Sorting Hat. He put on this strange hat, and a warmth suddenly surrounded his head. Many forgotten memories seemed to be illuminated by a ray of light, and reappeared in his mind. In front of him, there were also some things he had done wrong before, which made him feel ashamed and sad again... In short, mixed feelings filled his heart.

"Well...well..." Dudley was in a complicated mood, and the Sorting Hat looked even more distressed.

"You are a bit difficult to distinguish...it is difficult to distinguish..." the Sorting Hat muttered.

"Your courage is not inferior to others, you are brave and good at fighting, and you move forward bravely! Maybe I should assign you to Gryffindor..."

"Strategy, you seem to be very good at strategizing, and you are determined and will never give up until you achieve your goal... Slytherin might be a good place..."

"Ah! You have a strong thirst for knowledge, as well as an eye for insight into the world and a quick mind...Ravenclaw is also a good choice..."

"Please, please tell me all the colleges. So many people are looking at me! I can just give it to any one. Labor and management don't really care..." Dudley couldn't help but think.

"Ha, the quality of being easygoing is also rare," the Sorting Hat said with a smile, but it was uglier than crying: "It has been decided, you will be sorted into Hufflepuff!"

As the Sorting Hat shouted, the Hufflepuff table burst into thunderous applause. Although Dudley's appearance was not that eye-catching, the Hufflepuff seniors showed enough kindness. Dean Pomona The professor smiled and nodded at him.

A tall and handsome boy took the initiative to attend and introduced the "honest" Dudley to the table. Dudley guessed that he was Cedric Diggory. He was only in his fourth year at this time, but he was already the leader of Hufflepuff House. He is also the next captain of the Hufflepuff team.

Dudley scratched his head. He never expected that the Sorting Hat would assign him to Hufflepuff. This is a college with the spirit of "integrity, loyalty, honesty, and fearlessness". Later, when he was fighting Voldemort head-on, Almost everyone joined the resistance and suffered the heaviest losses.

Dudley felt that the most he could show was "not afraid of hardships and dangers". The first three qualities were a bit embarrassing. Although he would definitely not be able to betray his friends, he would never dare to use "loyalty and honesty" to flaunt himself.

Next to Dudley was another chubby child, who had the same golden curly hair as Dudley and a fat chin that looked very cute. He winked at Dudley and said, "Hello, I'm Neville. ·Longbottom..."

Dudley smiled at him, still focusing on Lockhart, thinking about how to get close to him and find out his "true face".

Philo, who was lined up behind him, was assigned to Ravenclaw. He sat down happily and waved to Dudley.

"Don't you want to eat something? It tastes great!" Neville touched Dudley's arm lightly, interrupting his thoughts. It turned out that the sorting ceremony was over, and the table was already filled with various dishes, with a wide variety and fragrance. It was so overwhelming that most of the children were so hungry that they rolled up their sleeves and began to feast.

Looking at the roast chicken and pork neck in front of him, Dudley felt his stomach growl like thunder, and every cell in his body seemed to be protesting. After all, he only ate a little mushroom porridge in the morning today.

He picked up a small plate of purple cabbage and lettuce salad and turned his head to the other side so that he could not see the delicious food on the table.

"Don't you like chicken? How about I give you half of the black pepper sausage? The craftsmanship of the house elves is really incredible!" Although Neville's speech was not very clear, he still patiently "persuaded".

"No, I'll lose weight..." Dudley replied painfully.
