[HP] Walk in Thorns and Flowers

Chapter 16 The Selection of the Sorting Hat

The atmosphere in the medical room was extremely suppressed, except for tears and hugs, everything was superfluous at this moment.

Professor McGonagall stood outside the door and gently knocked on the door. The secrets of many nobles are unknown, let alone a big family like McMillan. She paused politely before walking in. , followed by Harry and Ron.

"Miss McMillan, welcome to Gryffindor." Professor McGonagall showed a rare smile on her usually stern face, and she pushed the two boys behind her to her front, "Your friend is very worried and insists on Come to see you."

Mrs. McMillan stood up, her eyes were still red, she leaned over and gave Christ another kiss: "Okay, baby, then mother will go back first." She couldn't help but hugged her daughter again, Only then reluctantly walked to the door.

Professor McGonagall was going to take the lion cubs and left immediately.Just when the three boys were about to speak, Lockhart coughed very seriously: "Little devils, stop here, go back to your academy, Christo needs to rest, goodbye!" He pushed the three boys into the The door slammed shut.

Chris glanced at him more, then retracted into the quilt and fell into a light sleep.

"Come on, tell me, Christo, what's wrong with you? Mr. Antle told me before that you were in a coma for three days, and it was also a coma for no reason. This is the second time, right?" Loha asked very worriedly.

Christo opened her eyes and looked at him: "I don't know, I just felt dizzy suddenly, and then lost consciousness."

Lockhart couldn't help frowning.

On the second day, Madam Pomfrey inspected Christo from head to toe, and after making sure that she was fine, she was very confused and let her go.She walked towards Gryffindor's steeple under the leadership of the girl in the dormitory, holding a bunch of gifts in her hand-the health ball sent by her brother, which will flash red when she is not in good health , her usual standard No. [-] tin crucible from her father, and several unopened boxes.

"My name is Hermione Granger." The little girl walked in front, shaking her thick brown hair gently, her head raised high, "I advise you to take it easy—" she There was some sense of injustice in his voice, "They may not welcome you very much-they were all discussing you last night!"

"What?" Kristo asked in bewilderment.

"Gryffindor rejected by Gryffindor, Slytherin abandoned by Slytherin." Hermione said angrily, "I can't figure out what's going on in their heads, obviously, McMillan, you It's a Gryffindor." Hermione stopped, looking serious like a grown-up.

Christo stopped in her tracks and showed a polite smile: "But in fact, I am a Slytherin, Miss Granger, do you still think I should be treated fairly now?" She looked calm, as if No answer would make her look pained.Hermione froze, and of course she heard the strange hiss of the Sorting Hat.Christo walked past her: "Okay, Miss Granger, anyway, let me go back to the dormitory first."

Hermione strode up to catch up and grabbed Christo by the shoulder: "But I don't think you are annoying!" There was a small figure of Christo in her amber eyes—golden Her long hair was pulled up, and her originally ladylike hairstyle was ruined by the two curving strands of hair on top of her head, but her sapphire blue eyes looked very calm.

"Actually, I think you're quite cute. What's more, you chose Gryffindor, and the Sorting Hat chose us for you, didn't you?"

"Of course, Hermione." A small dimple appeared at the corner of Christo's mouth, and she said with pretended regret, "I thought everyone was stupid."

Many eyes fell on them as they walked through the Gryffindor common room.

"You have become the most concerned person after Harry Potter," Hermione muttered, and she stared back all those malicious eyes.

Christo giggled and said, "It's okay, when I followed Gildero, the eyes of his female fans could peel me off, and this level can tickle me."

They went into the dormitory, and the other two girls had gone out.Christophe's small package was thrown on the head of her bed, and a mouse winked at her.

"It's unbelievable that you only have such a little stuff." Hermione frowned when she recalled her big bags and small bags when she got on the train. She took out her wand and drove away the mouse that was deliberately put on it, " I think you'd better hurry up, we have our first Defense Against the Dark Arts class this term this afternoon."

In the end, they arrived at the classroom on time.Hermione kept sighing along the way: "Oh, Crystal, that's amazing." This made her almost step on the stairs twice, "You must have learned beforehand to make things so small." .”

There was a big smile on the corner of Christopher's mouth: "I almost became a Slytherin."

Hermione slapped her on the head: "They'll throw you off Gryffindor's steeple!"

Christophe smacked her mouth indifferently: "Actually, I almost became a Ravenclaw."

"Oh, me too!" Hermione blinked her eyes, and the two girls smiled knowingly - it didn't matter which house they were in, the guy in the Sorting Hat was actually very unreliable.

The teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was Professor Quiruo. As soon as he entered, a strong smell of garlic filled the entire classroom.

He stuttered all the time, and when he called Harry Potter's name, he excitedly distorted the four syllables into an ups and downs, which disappointed the students in the whole classroom.

When he called Crystal's name, nearly half of the class snorted softly. Harry and Hermione, who were sitting next to Crystal, looked at her carefully. Fortunately, she was very happy. normal.

However, Professor Quirrell seemed too abnormal, his eyes that had been moving uneasily since entering the classroom were firmly stuck to Christo's body at this moment.

"Miss McMillan, did you ever practice magic at home?"

Kristo frowned, she really didn't like Professor Quirrell's gaze, she suddenly remembered the inexplicable expectation on his face when he was in the sorting school.With a thought, she said vaguely, "I'm sorry, Professor, I lost my memory earlier."

Most of the students laughed, which sounded like a lame excuse indeed.

Professor Quirrell seemed to believe it, but showed a surprised expression: "What about after amnesia?"

Christo said casually: "Before I received the letter from Hogwarts, they always thought I was a squib." Cheering laughter came from the classroom immediately.Christo didn't care, Hermione pulled her and bit her ear: "You knew Professor Quirrell before?"

Christo shook her head: "I really lost my memory. As for after I lost my memory, I'm sure I never saw him once."

Hermione hesitated: "That's really weird."

Christo didn't expect that in the middle of the class, Professor Quirrell called her to the podium and invited her to be his temporary assistant.Christo was very puzzled, until he said that he was going to demonstrate some commonly used spells to everyone, Christo felt a little uncomfortable.Some people looked at her gloatingly, and some looked worried, such as Hermione, even though she knew very well that Christo had lied just now.

Professor Quirrell's smile was dull, and he seemed to be trying to comfort Christo with his trembling voice: "Relax, it's just some simple spells, it won't do any harm."

Christo nodded, but she didn't intend to believe him. The moment Professor Quirrell opened her mouth, she immediately shouted: "Armor protection!" It seemed that an invisible armor appeared on Christo's body. Professor Quirrell's spell resisted.The classroom was quiet, and Christo fiddled with her wand helplessly: "I'm sorry, professor, I'm too nervous, why don't you change a classmate?" She couldn't understand why she didn't just use a mouse or It was the spider to demonstrate the spell.

Professor Quirrell looked very happy: "Very unexpected, but great." Christo lowered her head.

I don't know who answered in a low voice: "Could it be that McMillan lied just now? It's very unexpected, but it's great!" There was a hint of fear in the world in his voice, and as soon as he finished speaking, someone laughed stand up.

Christo quickly raised her head, and loudly argued: "Professor, no, I just looked at the textbook after I bought it... This is the first time I use it, and I don't know." The professor noticed a ray of red light in his eyes. She opened her eyes wide, but she didn't see any abnormality again.Professor Quirrell didn't make things difficult for her anymore, he just waved her to let her go down, and he didn't ask other students to experiment after that.

Christo was sullen, her brows furrowed even tighter.She decided to sit at the end of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class next time.

This unpleasant feeling continued until dinner, when Ernie walked over from the long Hufflepuff table, holding a plate of dessert in his hand - the blueberry yoghurt pudding that Kristal had always liked.

"Thank you, brother!" Christophe gently raised the table knife in her hand, "This is my brother, Ernie McMillan." She said to Hermione.She looked at the man behind Ernie again. He was tall, with neat black hair and a handsome face. She felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember who it was.

The man smiled helplessly. Just as Ernie was about to introduce him, he opened the mouth first: "I am Cedric Diggory. My father and uncle have a good relationship, so the two families often visit each other."

Christo realized immediately that this was probably her childhood partner.She apologized with some embarrassment, she couldn't think of anyone.Cedric just smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, Ernie has already told me the matter. In the future, you can come to me for help if you have anything that goes wrong." He stretched out his hand and rubbed Ernie's head again. It turns out they have a good relationship. "I still have Quidditch training, so let's go first."

Watching him go further and further through the crowd, Ernie explained to Crystal, "Cedric was on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team." He sighed, "When you were little, you used to be with him It’s so close, I didn’t expect it to be forgotten.”

Christo poked at the pudding, a little sadly: "I always feel like I've forgotten something very important..." Hermione squeezed her hand beside her.

Suddenly, a loud voice came from Slytherin's long table: "Very unexpected, but great!"

Christina was taken aback for a moment, and immediately raised her head, and saw Malfoy looking at her provocatively at a glance. He sat in the middle of a group of Slytherin students and said again eccentrically.More exaggerated laughter erupted from the Slytherin table.

The students in the other two colleges looked blank, but it was obvious that most of the Gryffindors could hear the sarcasm.Unexpected sorting results, but luckily the Gryffindor kid didn't get into Slytherin.They gave Kristall an unkind look, as if Kristall's presence made Gryffindor inferior.

Ernie stood up angrily, and Christo immediately held him down.She had a gentle face, and the students who watched the excitement stopped and looked at her with interest when they saw that she seemed to have something to say. "Indeed, I was also surprised that the Sorting Hat wanted to hand me to Slytherin, but fortunately, I still came to Gryffindor." She laughed, expressing her position clearly, The Slytherin students looked a little unhappy.Malfoy was about to refute, when Christo said again: "That unknown classmate, what I said last time in Diagon Alley is still valid."

Others didn't know what was going on between them, so they could only make wild guesses based on their expressions at the moment. Chris had a smile on his face, and Malfoy's face was constantly changing.

Christo had no intention of arguing, she picked up the pudding Ernie brought her and walked out through the noisy crowd.

"I thought she'd be upset." Ron touched Harry's elbow thoughtfully, "but now it doesn't look like she cares at all."

Biting the sandwich, Harry nodded in disbelief as he watched Christo's almost disappearing figure. He always felt that it was just a superficial appearance.
