Hogwarts: Is this junior good or evil?
Chapter 55 Sorting Ceremony
This little farce-like episode did not leave much weight in the young wizard's heart. In an instant, the small room became noisy again.
At this moment, Professor McGonagall came in with parchment and said loudly, "Now form a single line and follow me."
The young wizards lined up, walked through the foyer, passed through a double door at the back, and entered the luxurious auditorium.
If the hall is simple, grand, and focuses more on displaying the historical heritage of Hogwarts, then the auditorium is an ultimate luxury.
The auditorium is rectangular in shape, with single green granite columns carved with various patterns, supporting the sky that is hundreds of feet high.
Above the dome, stars are twinkling and divine light is flowing. Occasionally, millions of meteors pass by, which makes it look like the sky is crying... Just like a projection of the deep night sky.
In the air, thousands of candles were swaying on lampstands, making the surroundings as bright as day, and the spacious auditorium was illuminated with a dazzling glow.
In the center of the auditorium, four long rosewood tables were placed tightly together, and the distance between the tables seemed to have been measured with a caliper.
The table was placed with gold plates and silver wine glasses, and both sides were filled with excited senior students.
There is a long table on the podium at the top of the auditorium. It is where the professors sit. As the banquet is approaching, the table is full.
As soon as the little wizards entered the auditorium, they were attracted by the shocking scenes and stopped to watch.
Professor McGonagall didn't care about these curious little wizards. She placed a square stool in front of the long table and a wizard hat on it. The hat was very worn out, with all kinds of patches and thick dust and stains on it, as if it had never been cleaned for hundreds of years.
The noisy environment around it seemed to disturb its sweet dreams. The hat suddenly twisted after a tremor, as if it was dancing, or twitching irregularly. Then, a crack appeared on the brim of the hat, forming the shape of a mouth, and it began to hum a self-composed ballad:
You may think I'm not pretty,
But never judge a book by its appearance,
If you can find a prettier hat than mine,
I can eat myself.
You can make your bowler hat black and shiny,
Let your high silk hats be smooth and crisp,
I am the magic hat used for Hogwarts testing.
Of course it is taller than your hats.
......
Come wear me! Don't be afraid!
Don't panic!
in my hand
you are absolutely safe
Because I am a thinking magic hat!
After the song, the whole auditorium erupted in thunderous applause that lasted for a long time. Yang Tian had to control his facial expressions to barely manage to applaud with everyone while keeping a smile.
But in his heart, he had already started to complain crazily, others sing for money, but you really need to sing for your life. I don't know if everyone present really thinks that this sawed-up duck voice sings well, or if they all have the same amazing acting skills as me?
The Sorting Hat didn't notice this two-faced little wizard. It was bowing contentedly in the direction of the four dining tables, as if it was enjoying the success of its solo concert.
The response was enthusiastic, and Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief. She pulled out a roll of parchment from her sleeve and said solemnly, "Whoever's name I call now, please come forward, put on your hat, sit on the stool, and be sorted."
"Hannah Abbott!"
A ruddy-faced little girl with two golden pigtails happily jumped out of the queue and sat on a chair.
Yang Tian had of course heard of the Abbott family. As one of the twenty-eight sacred families, there was no need to elaborate on their history. Moreover, because the family was good at blacksmithing, there was a saying in the history of magic that "Abbott was made of iron".
But none of this matters. Yang Tian is paying attention to this little girl because in the original book, she is the future wife of his good brother Neville. Who knows, he may have to meet her in the future...
The Sorting Hat made the decision without hesitation, and Hannah ran towards the Hufflepuff dining table with a bell-like laugh.
Hufflepuff House came out on top, and the badgers applauded.
"Terry Butt!"
"Ravenclaw!"
……
"Hermione Granger!" Professor McGonagall's serious voice sounded again.
After Hermione and Yang Tian exchanged a glance, they also hurried over. Unlike before, the Sorting Hat did not give an answer immediately, but seemed to discuss with Hermione. After a while, the Sorting Hat finally shouted: "Ravenclaw!"
The Sorting Hat's shout was like heavenly music to Yang Tian. He finally put his heart back in his stomach and looked at Hermione with a smile in his eyes.
Hermione gave Yang Tian a proud look and trotted towards the Ravenclaw table.
Next, the Sorting Hat distributes the prizes at different speeds.
Except for Neville Longbottom who entered Hufflepuff as Yang Tian expected, the other distribution results were basically the same as in the previous life...
Finally, Professor McGonagall shouted again, "Tian Yang!"
Yang Tian, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately straightened his clothes and put on the Sorting Hat calmly. Yang Tian was not panicking at all now, because he could clearly feel that the spiritual jade pendant on his chest was emitting a milky white light, protecting him with all his heart.
Looking at Yang Tian's noble temperament and handsome face, the little wizards around him all gasped, especially the girls whose reactions were more enthusiastic, even causing a small commotion.
No one noticed that when Professor McGonagall called out Yang Tian's name, a girl with black hair and black eyes at the Ravenclaw table suddenly turned her head and looked at him. When she saw Yang Tian's face clearly, she was even more excited.
She just stared at Yang Tian infatuatedly, sometimes smiling brightly, sometimes with tears in her eyes...
Yang Tian naturally knew nothing about this. He just sat calmly in the chair, waiting quietly.
"Well," an almost inaudible voice sounded beside Yang Tian's ears: "It's difficult, very difficult, more difficult than those children before... I can see that you are very courageous and kind-hearted. Gryffindor is very suitable for you..."
Yang Tian frowned slightly, but did not respond.
"Of course, you also have a wise mind, and what's even more rare is your incomparable greed for knowledge... Ravenclaw is very suitable for you..."
"Wow, what did I see? Kindness and loyalty to friends, patience and care for animals and plants... Who dares to say that you are not a typical Hufflepuff..."
"Merlin, there is more... there is more, a bloodline that is so pure that it is terrifying. Even if you try your best to disguise it, it is difficult to hide your lofty ambitions... Slytherin will help you avoid many detours..."
After hearing the Sorting Hat's analysis, Yang Tian raised the corners of his lips and replied with a smile: "Since I have the potential to be in several colleges, the choice should be left to me. I think I prefer Ravenclaw."
"But if you choose Gryffindor, you might be closer to success," explained the Sorting Hat.
Yang Tian remained unmoved and responded calmly: "There is an old saying in China, which goes, if you gain something, you must lose something. No matter which academy I choose, I will definitely lose the benefits brought by the other three academies. So there is no need to worry about it, just go straight to your heart. When I ask myself what I value most at the moment, the answer I get is undoubtedly the thirst for knowledge."
The Sorting Hat was silent for a while, then said: "Philosophical words, well, then... Ravenclaw!"
As soon as the Sorting Hat finished speaking, the entire Ravenclaw table screamed in surprise. The girls' shouts were so piercing.
Yang Tian was shocked by this reaction. He couldn't help but touch his nose with a wry smile, and quickly walked to the Ravenclaw table and sat next to Hermione.
Before the two kids could look at each other, an excited voice trembled in Yang Tian's ears: "Hello, my name is Zhang Qiu, welcome to Ravenclaw. I am your second-year senior. From now on in Hogwarts, I will protect you?!"
After hearing this, Yang Tian quickly turned around and stood up, just about to speak.
But behind those carefree words, there were bright eyes with tears in their eyes, and hands trembling with excitement under those bright smiles...
