"Those who are called, come to me." Professor McGonagall shouted loudly, her sharp eyes sweeping over different batches of freshmen almost every year. The students who had experienced it understood that this was just Professor McGonagall calling the students A little trick for them to be obedient.

In the tense atmosphere of everyone's attention, everyone was particularly sensitive to Professor McGonagall's serious eyes. No one would be distracted at this time.

"Kady Bell!"

"Gryffindor!"

"..."

"Eddie Camilche."

"Ravenclaw!"

"..."

At first, Teal was still thinking about his position, and it was really convenient for him and Snape to flirt with each other. But except for the look at each other before the sorting ceremony, Teal had almost no chance to look up after that.

Her and Charlie's ears were listening to what was happening on Professor McGonagall's side, but their eyes and hands were focused on the list on the parchment, quickly recording everyone's sorting results with each announcement of the Sorting Hat.

Suddenly, when they read one of the names, both Teal and Charlie heard some quiet commotion around them, which seemed to be discussing a certain student who was about to be sorted. Teal heard Professor McGonagall calling her name: "Qiu Zhang."

This was a girl's name, but Till did not immediately pay attention to what she was being discussed for. Instead, he stood up with Charlie and swept his stern eyes over all the students, focusing on the prefects.

The president of the student union is responsible for the order of the restaurant. Normally, it may be enough as long as no one is arguing or fighting, but the sorting ceremony should not be such a commotion.

The prefects received the eye signals from the two chairmen and began to suppress the movement of the students around them, and the restaurant soon became quiet again.

The black-haired girl who had already walked to Professor McGonagall lowered her head slightly, but some color returned to her face, and her hands on her school uniform loosened.

"Cool!" Charlie and Teal sat down again. Teal was still waiting for the Sorting Hat's announcement, but Charlie lowered his voice and exclaimed quietly at a volume that only they could hear.

Being a prefect was already impressive enough, but I didn’t expect that being the president of the student union would be even more impressive!

Charlie finally found new fun among all the busyness.

"Ravenclaw!"

The announcement of the Sorting Hat soon came, and amid another cheer from the Ravenclaw table, Teal glanced sideways at Charlie, signaling him to quickly sort the second-to-last child.

In previous years, there were few surnames starting with "Z", but this year there were two.

"Rain Zhou."

Tier raised her eyebrows, thinking these two last names were interesting, and because it was the last name on the list, she looked up at the girl curiously.

She didn't look like the people Teal had seen since he was a child. She was probably Asian. Teal had met many Asians in the United States, but this girl looked a little timid. Under the curious visits of many people, she His head was lowered a lot.

Tier just glanced at her face briefly, and then all he could see was the top of her black hair.

"Hufflepuff!"

Someone sighed, "It's true," and Tier also saw the girl relax her shoulders, seeming to be very satisfied with the result.

Till and Charlie looked at each other, wrote down the last result, and then did not rush to hand over the list to Professor McGonagall. Instead, they sat down and waited for the principal to speak.

There is also a difficult and necessary event every year: singing the school song.

Teal expressionlessly mingled among the students who barely made a sound. She focused more on the list in front of her, counting down how many students Ravenclaw had sorted into this year while listening. I don’t know what tune I was singing.

It doesn't sound very good anyway, and it doesn't sound the best.

Charlie just lip-synced openly. He thought that his face and "singing voice" were not as good as those of his two twin brothers from Gryffindor. However, those two little guys who were only in second grade sang the school song. The most complete and loudest in the school.

Professor Dumbledore therefore particularly admired the two Gryffindors. After the school song ended, he applauded the Gryffindors vigorously: "What wonderful courage."

Teal's eyelids jumped as she saw the twins raise their hands proudly.

This compliment is indeed not something that ordinary people can get.

The sorting ceremony was over, and the opening dinner began. Till and Charlie quickly ate some food to fill their stomachs, and then walked out of the restaurant through the small door on the side at the signal of Professor McGonagall.

She seemed to have something to say besides delivering the list to Professor McGonagall.

"There are two special students this year. I believe you may have noticed." The three of them were not far away from the restaurant at this time. They were standing outside the small door. Professor McGonagall pointed in and Till and Charlie saw her. Refers to the two girls who were last in line during the sorting ceremony.

Autumn Zhang and Yu Zhou.

"They look alike." Charlie glanced briefly, remembered the appearance and looked away, but Till saw more.

She noticed that Qiu Zhang had made several good female friends among the new students in Ravenclaw, and was chatting and laughing with the seniors. Just by looking at her, she knew that the atmosphere there was good.

On the other hand, Yu·Zhou spoke much less. She just sat there eating alone and raised her head very rarely.

"They seem like two extremes?" Tier frowned, "Their names are also somewhat similar."

It's not that the pronunciation is similar, but the composition is very different from the British way of naming.

Professor McGonagall nodded and lowered her voice: "They are both Asian, but their parents are wizards, so they knew they would enroll in Hogwarts since they were young. However, for some reasons, you can find that their personalities are completely different."

"What do we need to do?" Charlie frowned, "There are many students in Hogwarts with different personalities, but everyone will live well here."

Charlie didn't think that Professor McGonagall would specifically point them out to Till and him just because of her personality.

"When two people are similar, comparison is inevitable." Professor McGonagall shook her head. Charlie's conduct and study were already very good, otherwise he would not have been elected as the President of the Boys' Student Union by Professor Dumbledore, but in some things In terms of sensitivity, Charlie still lacks some.

Fortunately, Till's sensitivity is sufficient. With Till at his side, Charlie's shortcomings are made up for. As they have been friends for many years, they can also cooperate with each other tacitly.

As expected, Till glanced at Charlie helplessly and explained aloud: "Professor McGonagall means that Qiu Zhang may be more popular with students in the future, while Yu Zhou, who has an introverted personality, will inevitably be considered withdrawn and unsociable."

"After comparison, there is displeasure, and after displeasure, there is rejection." Tier turned sideways and took a deeper look at Yu Zhou, "We usually pay more attention and don't let such signs appear."

"This is probably difficult." Charlie touched his nose. Seeing that Professor McGonagall did not refute Till's words, he felt that this was a difficult matter.

He and Till can handle conflicts on the surface, but can they stop the various thoughts that arise in private?
