[HP] Xiaobai of the Dark Lord
Chapter 39 The Sorting Ceremony...
When the Hogwarts Express arrived at its destination, it was completely dark outside, and Draco, Harry, and Xiaobai all changed into black uniforms and got off the train.Xiaoguang and Xiaoqiu stayed on the train with their luggage.
"Oh! Why must the school uniform here be black!" Xiao Bai looked at his clothes and said depressedly.The clothes he usually likes to wear most are basically white, and occasionally one or two pieces that are not white are also light-colored. What he hates most is this kind of black clothes. frowned.
"Okay, this is a tradition established by the school for many years, and it cannot be changed! At least for now!" Draco took Xiaobai's hand and followed the freshmen to gather in one direction.
"All first-year freshmen, come to my side!" Hagrid's tall figure was so eye-catching on the small platform.
When Xiaobai and the others followed the tall Hagrid into the boat, crossed the wide and deep lake with magical creatures, and walked a mountain road, they finally arrived at Hogwarts Castle.
As soon as they entered the castle, all the freshmen were brought into a small room by Professor McGonagall: "Follow me for a while, and attend your sorting ceremony first! After that, the dinner will begin!"
Just when all the freshmen were looking around curiously, suddenly several translucent ghosts came through the wall and shuttled back and forth among the crowd.
"what……"
Some children who had never seen a ghost, especially children from Muggle families, screamed and ran around in fright.
"Hahahaha... this year's children are all cowards! Cowards, cowards!" Peeves yelled arrogantly, making faces at the children from time to time.
At this moment, the door of the front hall finally opened.Under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, all the freshmen nervously followed her and walked towards the hall.
Xiaobai's two hands were firmly held by Harry and Draco, one left and one right. He was not worried about his feet at all, and his eyes were looking around in the hall.I saw that the ceiling of Hogwarts was hundreds of feet high, and it was not illuminated by Muggle-like electric lights, but there were many bright spots shining in the sky, as beautiful as stars.
In the hall, each college has its own separate dining table. Although they all wear uniform black robes, everyone wears a scarf that symbolizes the color and pattern of the college.
Professor McGonagall put the worn, old and patched dirty hat on a four-corner chair at the front. The broken hat suddenly cracked a big hole, and the piercing singing voice kept ringing in the empty hall all of a sudden. .
"Close your ears and listen!" Xiao Bai subconsciously cast a silent spell on himself to block the annoying noise.
Looking up at the professor's chair above, he saw Snape and Mr. Ruiling on the right without any surprise.Xiaobai wanted to smile at them, but Draco pinched his hand to stop him. Xiaobai immediately came to his senses and turned his attention to the other professors.The professor on the far left with his head wrapped in a thick towel and an unpleasant garlic smell caught Xiaobai's attention. On his body, Xiaobai felt another piece of Voldemort's soul.
However, what interests Xiaobai the most is a professor in ghost form. Xiaobai secretly thinks in his heart: "Dumbledore didn't hire such a professor to save money! Ghost professors are good, don't eat, don't eat. You don’t need to pay for drinking, that’s great! Alas! If all the courses could be taught by ghosts, there would probably be no living people on the podium now!”
After a long time, the hat finally stopped his distinctive "singing every year" and started its normal sorting work.
Professor McGonagall held the usual parchment list in his hand, stood beside the chair, and began to call names one by one.
"Student whose name I called, please go to the stool and sit down! Just put the sorting hat on your head, and he can tell you that you should go to the college! Alright, the first one, Alice Ai Rui..."
A little girl with dark hair walked up tremblingly, and put the hat on her head carefully. After a while, the hat made a loud voice: "Hufflepuff!"
"..."
The sorting ceremony was going on non-stop, and the children's line became shorter and shorter. Draco squeezed Xiaobai's hand, and when everyone was not paying attention, he lowered his head and removed the earplugs that Xiaobai had used before. listen.He lowered his voice and said, "It's almost time for us."
Just as the two of them were deserting, Professor McGonagall suddenly called out a familiar name: "Neville Longbottom!"
After hearing Neville's name, the hall ushered in the first climax of today's sorting ceremony.
The children from wizarding families looked at Neville with different expressions, some with envy, some with envy, some with admiration, and some with contempt.Most of the children in Muggle families didn't know anything about it, but Xiaobai and the others heard a Muggle girl explaining to her Muggle-born companion in a low voice: "Neville Longbottom, He is the legendary savior who can defeat the mysterious man! I read about him in extracurricular materials! Before him, there was a child who was also given the name of the savior, but Dumbledore later said that was just a rumor..."
The hat had already decided Neville Longbottom's whereabouts as they whispered: "Gryffindor!"
"Oh! We have Longbottom! The savior belongs to our Gryffindor!" The Gryffindor children warmly welcomed Neville Longbottom to join, and everyone regardless of grade surrounded him, affectionately Say hello to him.The brothers from the Weasley family had long known Longbottom because of their father's relationship, and they were even more unscrupulous when they played around.
"Hermione Granger!" As soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, the girl who introduced Neville just now trotted and sat down on the chair.
The hat was constantly twisting on her head, as if arguing with the girl about something, and finally the hat seemed to compromise, and softly read: "Gryffindor!"
"Draco Malfoy!"
As soon as the hat touched Draco's head, it yelled "Slytherin!"
When Professor McGonagall read: "Harry Malfoy!", the people in the hall erupted again.
The little wizards who knew the situation kept scanning Harry and Longbottom back and forth with their eyes.Different from the shouting when Neville Longbottom came out, everyone was whispering in small groups.
Harry raised his head, walked briskly to the four-corner chair with elegant aristocratic steps, and didn't care about other people's rounds at all.He looked at the messy hat, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he still put it on his head reluctantly.
"Oh! What... how dare you think I'm dirty! I'm telling you, I'm the hat worn by the great Godric Gryffindor! I'm a thinking, smart hat! I can easily see through everyone The brain sees everything in his heart, can discover his best qualities, and then send him to the most suitable college to study! How dare you slander me like this...Let me take a good look, are you suitable? Where to go!... Well, thoughtful, full of courage and enthusiasm, Gryffindor is very suitable for you!"
"I'm not going to Gryffindor!" Harry said coldly to the Sorting Hat in his head.
"Hey, why? You..."
"Since you are Godric Gryffindor's hat, then I think you must have his character, honesty should also be necessary, I don't think I am an impulsive, brainless Gryffindor! I hope you can take a good look before making a decision! Don’t lose your only job because of a momentary negligence! Think about it carefully, if you lose this only sorting function, how will you be in Hogwarts? continue to stay..."
"Oh! You're threatening me... Oh my God! What do I see? The great affection for friends and family, and the cunning and treachery... I think Slytherin is definitely the right one for you, hopefully this time You can be satisfied!"
"Yes, I am very satisfied! Besides, I am Malfoy now, so going to Slytherin is a matter of course!"
"Slytherin!" the Sorting Hat yelled weakly.
Harry walked off the podium with a smile on his face, and gracefully came to the Slytherin table, and everyone was silent.Although it took a little longer for his sorting, he finally met Draco at the dinner table smoothly.
After Xiaobai's appearance, today's sorting ceremony once again ushered in the most surprising scene ever, and it drove everyone crazy.
After Xiaobai put the Sorting Hat on his head, the Sorting Hat wanted to sneak into Xiaobai's deepest consciousness to spy on it as usual, but it was startled by Xiaobai's huge mental power at first, and it screamed. not come out.Afterwards, the magic wand made of unicorn scales stored in Xiaobai's body severely blocked it.
The broken hat was shivering from Xiao Bai's fright, and what everyone saw was that the hat seemed to be drunk, swaying back and forth on top of Xiao Bai's head non-stop.
Xiaobai discovered the detection ability emanating from the hat, curiously used his mental power to track back, and forced the incomplete spirit trapped in the hat to flee around in the hat.
"Don't run away! I have something to ask you!" Xiaobai tried to communicate with it with mental strength.
"If you don't chase me, I won't run away!"
"Okay, okay, I won't chase you anymore!" Xiaobai suddenly realized that the voice speaking to him was that of a child of a few years old, sweet and tender.So he asked suspiciously, "Are you the sorting hat?"
"I am!" The voice replied weakly.
"Then why was your singing voice so ugly before?" Xiao Bai asked curiously.
"That! If they hear my real voice now, how can they respect me and show all kinds of funny expressions! And, and I'm afraid they will laugh at me... woo woo... It's all Sara Check that bad guy, he was originally a standard elegant baritone, but he used a spell to make me become what I am now..."
"Uh! This..." Xiao Bai was speechless.
"Forget it, don't talk about it! Since you know my secret, you must not tell others! Or...or..." Hat threatened weakly.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will definitely keep it a secret for you!" Xiaobai happily chatted with this magical hat he had never seen before. The time passed quickly, and what everyone saw was the broken hat writhing excitedly on top of Xiao Bai's head.
Until Dumbledore couldn't help it, and asked loudly: "Is this classmate really embarrassing you so much?" Dumbledore was mixed with a huge amount of mental pressure when he spoke, and he rushed towards the hat and the little boy head-on. white.So the two of them could only reluctantly end this pleasant conversation.
"By the way, Xiaobai, which academy do you want to go to?"
"Slytherin, my good friend and brother are all there!" Xiao Bai replied after thinking for a while.
"Okay! Slytherin!" the hat called loudly.
After Xiaobai sat next to Draco and Harry, he realized that he had chatted with the hat for an entire hour after hearing them talking, and the whole sorting ceremony and dinner were postponed by a full hour because of this. The students in the back also waited until they could no longer stand.
All the students, even the professor, were rumbling with hunger at the moment, and the other colleges, especially the Gryffindor students, kept casting angry glances at the culprit, Xiaobai.It's a pity that for Xiao Bai who has no sense of the outside world, these knife-like gazes have no effect at all.
On the contrary, Draco and Harry, the two of them gave full play to the role of the powerful air-conditioner, glanced coldly at the faces of those students, and immediately killed more than half of them.The president of a big company in those years was not for nothing. Although the two of them were not in the same grade, they already had the aura of a superior person.
The long sorting ceremony was finally over. After hearing Principal Dumbledore say that the dinner had started, everyone quickly and unceremoniously began to sweep the food on the table.Even the elegant Slytherins waved their hands quickly, vigorously adding food to their dinner plates, but their movements were still graceful, and the lively Gryffindors went straight to snatch it.
After dinner, the students of each house obediently followed the prefects of their houses, and returned to their respective lounges to start their new life in Hogwarts.

41. Extra Story: Neville Longbottom...
My name is Neville Longbottom. Before I was eight years old, I lived a life dependent on my grandmother. My parents used to be the best Aurors, but now they are both receiving treatment in St. Mungo's.
I don't know what kind of damage they have suffered, but the guy who can drive a well-trained Auror with a nerve strength much higher than the average person is definitely not ordinary.I learned from my grandma that the guy who murdered my parents was that mysterious man who couldn't even mention his name. He was an arrogant and powerful Dark Lord more than ten years ago.
Although I always forget a lot of things, but for this unforgettable hatred, I always keep him in my heart.Although everyone said that the mysterious man was dead, grandma firmly believed that he was still alive, and urged me to study every day, and hoped that I would become an excellent Auror like my parents, so that I could avenge my parents.
When I was young, I couldn't understand why I couldn't play and play freely like other children?Why are there so many courses that I need to learn every day?
Grandma always had a sullen face and told me coldly: "You are different from other children! You don't have the love of your parents, and you have to avenge them when you grow up, so now you have to study hard! Mastering one more spell will give you more strength, and more chips for victory!"
Although I don't understand what grandma means by these words, I am still very obedient.But I don't know why, but my reaction is always much slower than that of young wizards of the same age. It takes me ten days or even longer to master simple spells that others can learn in three days.Although I put in more effort than any little wizard, the effect was very, very poor.
Once, I couldn't sleep at night and came out to look at the moon, but I accidentally saw a picture of my grandma hugging my parents alone and weeping secretly.Grandma told them every bit of me in a low voice, complaining about my dullness and clumsiness.
At that moment, the blow to me was really too great, I slowly slipped to the corner, and sat there curled up all night, the next morning, I slowly crawled back to my room , and got seriously ill because of it.
Since then, I have been more silent and hardworking. Except for eating and sleeping, I study hard every day, and keep connecting those monotonous and boring mantras over and over again. This kind of life lasted until I was eight years old.
On my eighth birthday, Professor Albus Dumbledore, the president of the International Federation of Magic, the president of the Wizarding Association, the first-class magician of the Sir Merlin Order, and the current headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, suddenly appeared in the His presence changed my whole life, and my previous eight years of life were completely disrupted by his presence.
From that day on, I became what people call the "true savior". Although I don't understand what this means, I do know one thing. There used to be a couple of Aurors who were as good as my parents. Saved me and used my own child as bait to lure the mysterious man away, but was killed by the mysterious man in the end.Their son thus became an orphan, a complete orphan without any relatives.
It is this poor child, who was called "the savior" before that, and exists to protect my true identity.
"How could you do this? He's just an eight-year-old kid the same age as me. How can you use him as a bait? What if, what if the mysterious man is still alive and you find him? He's too It's dangerous!" For the first time, I desperately quarreled with the wise old man I admired the most.
"Oh! Son, listen to me first..." Dumbledore stopped the furious grandma, and said to me kindly: "Son, I think you must have misunderstood something! We didn't tell the world about that child. It's 'the savior', that's all media hype, and we can't get you out just to clear it up. But don't worry, his parents died heroically in the fight against the Dark Lord, we How could this be done to him? He is now living with his Muggle aunt, although he has no exposure to the wizarding world, despite the fact that he is very well cared for, and there are a large number of Aurors from the Order of the Phoenix nearby to protect him safety, so you don’t have to worry about his safety at all.”
"Is that true? I'm sorry, Professor, I was so rude just now! I solemnly apologize for my recklessness!" I bowed my head in embarrassment, feeling extremely guilty for my previous actions.
"It doesn't matter, child. You acted like a brave Gryffindor just now. You have completely inherited your parents' good character, integrity and kindness! I believe you will become an excellent Auror in the future! Become a real Auror The hero who saved the wizarding world!" Dumbledore praised me without hesitation.
"But Professor, I learn everything slower than the other kids, I'm stupid..." My voice trailed off.
"It's nothing! I think I didn't understand anything before I was ten years old, and I only know how to play every day!" Dumbledore smiled as brightly as a flower on his wrinkled face.
"Son, you can learn from me in the future! I believe you will be very good!" Dumbledore said to me sincerely.
"Really? Professor?" I looked at him in disbelief, but the joyful look in my eyes had already exposed my inner desire.
"Of course! How about this, starting tomorrow, I will come to your house every night to tutor you, what do you think?" Dumbledore seemed to discuss it, but he had already made a decision.
"Thank you very much, Professor! I will definitely work very, very hard, and I will never disappoint your hope!" I agreed excitedly.
"Good boy! I believe you will become the pride of the Longbottom family!" Dumbledore said, took out a beautiful cake box and handed it to me: "Today is your birthday, this is a little bit of mine A small gift, I hope you like it enough!"
"Thank you, Professor!" I held the box in my hands, tears streaming down my face.
"See you tomorrow night, kid!"
From then on, every night, I followed Professor Dumbledore to learn various spells and other knowledge, and practiced hard during the day.Because my memory is very bad, I drank a lot of potions that Professor Dumbledore brought me, but it didn't work, so I had to use a video stone to record what the professor said every night when the professor came to class. , and then watch it over and over again during the day, and follow along to learn.
Although the professor always said that I did a good job, I knew very well that I was still too stupid!I often wonder whether Professor Dumbledore made a mistake. How could such a clumsy person like me be the savior who defeated the mysterious man in the future!
But later, by chance, I discovered a mysterious man's Horcrux—a black diary.And with the help of Professor Dumbledore, the Horcrux was successfully eliminated, and my title of "Savior" became more convincing because of this. It was from this moment that I believed in this fact.And my title of "Savior" spread throughout the magic world, and now I don't dare to go out alone, because I will immediately be surrounded by many people.
I have been working hard, and my strength is improving day by day, but I have never heard any news about the child "Harry Potter" who used to be my stand-in for eight years.I am full of guilt and gratitude to him, and hope to have the opportunity to make up for him.
What I didn't expect was that the first time I met him would be at the gate of Gringotts, and he was actually with the former follower of the You-Know-Who, the notorious Death Eater Malfoy. children together.
At that moment, I was extremely flustered, eager to tell him all this, to make him understand that he should stay away from the Malfoy family, and that he should be on the side with the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore and me.
But for my kindness, he mercilessly refused, and told me with a smile that he is not "Potter", he is now "Harry Malfoy", and he absolutely does not want to say a word to me.
I excitedly told Professor Dumbledore all this. The professor told me that Harry was seduced by the youngest son of the Malfoy family, White Malfoy. misunderstanding.The professor sincerely hopes that I can become friends with Harry, and let him understand the painstaking efforts of his parents, so that he can return to the Order of the Phoenix and come back among us.
I accepted this task with great pleasure, and I believe that I can do it.After I knew that Harry was 11 years old like me and entered Hogwarts together this year, I made a "Save Harry" plan.I must let him see the ugly faces of the Malfoys and bring Harry back to the right path!
"Harry, here I come! I, Neville Longbottom, will definitely bring you back on track. You should be like your parents and become an excellent white wizard!"
The author has something to say: Celebrate, with more than 3000 favorites, post a small episode!
Today's text update is as usual!

"Oh! Why must the school uniform here be black!" Xiao Bai looked at his clothes and said depressedly.The clothes he usually likes to wear most are basically white, and occasionally one or two pieces that are not white are also light-colored. What he hates most is this kind of black clothes. frowned.
"Okay, this is a tradition established by the school for many years, and it cannot be changed! At least for now!" Draco took Xiaobai's hand and followed the freshmen to gather in one direction.
"All first-year freshmen, come to my side!" Hagrid's tall figure was so eye-catching on the small platform.
When Xiaobai and the others followed the tall Hagrid into the boat, crossed the wide and deep lake with magical creatures, and walked a mountain road, they finally arrived at Hogwarts Castle.
As soon as they entered the castle, all the freshmen were brought into a small room by Professor McGonagall: "Follow me for a while, and attend your sorting ceremony first! After that, the dinner will begin!"
Just when all the freshmen were looking around curiously, suddenly several translucent ghosts came through the wall and shuttled back and forth among the crowd.
"what……"
Some children who had never seen a ghost, especially children from Muggle families, screamed and ran around in fright.
"Hahahaha... this year's children are all cowards! Cowards, cowards!" Peeves yelled arrogantly, making faces at the children from time to time.
At this moment, the door of the front hall finally opened.Under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, all the freshmen nervously followed her and walked towards the hall.
Xiaobai's two hands were firmly held by Harry and Draco, one left and one right. He was not worried about his feet at all, and his eyes were looking around in the hall.I saw that the ceiling of Hogwarts was hundreds of feet high, and it was not illuminated by Muggle-like electric lights, but there were many bright spots shining in the sky, as beautiful as stars.
In the hall, each college has its own separate dining table. Although they all wear uniform black robes, everyone wears a scarf that symbolizes the color and pattern of the college.
Professor McGonagall put the worn, old and patched dirty hat on a four-corner chair at the front. The broken hat suddenly cracked a big hole, and the piercing singing voice kept ringing in the empty hall all of a sudden. .
"Close your ears and listen!" Xiao Bai subconsciously cast a silent spell on himself to block the annoying noise.
Looking up at the professor's chair above, he saw Snape and Mr. Ruiling on the right without any surprise.Xiaobai wanted to smile at them, but Draco pinched his hand to stop him. Xiaobai immediately came to his senses and turned his attention to the other professors.The professor on the far left with his head wrapped in a thick towel and an unpleasant garlic smell caught Xiaobai's attention. On his body, Xiaobai felt another piece of Voldemort's soul.
However, what interests Xiaobai the most is a professor in ghost form. Xiaobai secretly thinks in his heart: "Dumbledore didn't hire such a professor to save money! Ghost professors are good, don't eat, don't eat. You don’t need to pay for drinking, that’s great! Alas! If all the courses could be taught by ghosts, there would probably be no living people on the podium now!”
After a long time, the hat finally stopped his distinctive "singing every year" and started its normal sorting work.
Professor McGonagall held the usual parchment list in his hand, stood beside the chair, and began to call names one by one.
"Student whose name I called, please go to the stool and sit down! Just put the sorting hat on your head, and he can tell you that you should go to the college! Alright, the first one, Alice Ai Rui..."
A little girl with dark hair walked up tremblingly, and put the hat on her head carefully. After a while, the hat made a loud voice: "Hufflepuff!"
"..."
The sorting ceremony was going on non-stop, and the children's line became shorter and shorter. Draco squeezed Xiaobai's hand, and when everyone was not paying attention, he lowered his head and removed the earplugs that Xiaobai had used before. listen.He lowered his voice and said, "It's almost time for us."
Just as the two of them were deserting, Professor McGonagall suddenly called out a familiar name: "Neville Longbottom!"
After hearing Neville's name, the hall ushered in the first climax of today's sorting ceremony.
The children from wizarding families looked at Neville with different expressions, some with envy, some with envy, some with admiration, and some with contempt.Most of the children in Muggle families didn't know anything about it, but Xiaobai and the others heard a Muggle girl explaining to her Muggle-born companion in a low voice: "Neville Longbottom, He is the legendary savior who can defeat the mysterious man! I read about him in extracurricular materials! Before him, there was a child who was also given the name of the savior, but Dumbledore later said that was just a rumor..."
The hat had already decided Neville Longbottom's whereabouts as they whispered: "Gryffindor!"
"Oh! We have Longbottom! The savior belongs to our Gryffindor!" The Gryffindor children warmly welcomed Neville Longbottom to join, and everyone regardless of grade surrounded him, affectionately Say hello to him.The brothers from the Weasley family had long known Longbottom because of their father's relationship, and they were even more unscrupulous when they played around.
"Hermione Granger!" As soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, the girl who introduced Neville just now trotted and sat down on the chair.
The hat was constantly twisting on her head, as if arguing with the girl about something, and finally the hat seemed to compromise, and softly read: "Gryffindor!"
"Draco Malfoy!"
As soon as the hat touched Draco's head, it yelled "Slytherin!"
When Professor McGonagall read: "Harry Malfoy!", the people in the hall erupted again.
The little wizards who knew the situation kept scanning Harry and Longbottom back and forth with their eyes.Different from the shouting when Neville Longbottom came out, everyone was whispering in small groups.
Harry raised his head, walked briskly to the four-corner chair with elegant aristocratic steps, and didn't care about other people's rounds at all.He looked at the messy hat, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he still put it on his head reluctantly.
"Oh! What... how dare you think I'm dirty! I'm telling you, I'm the hat worn by the great Godric Gryffindor! I'm a thinking, smart hat! I can easily see through everyone The brain sees everything in his heart, can discover his best qualities, and then send him to the most suitable college to study! How dare you slander me like this...Let me take a good look, are you suitable? Where to go!... Well, thoughtful, full of courage and enthusiasm, Gryffindor is very suitable for you!"
"I'm not going to Gryffindor!" Harry said coldly to the Sorting Hat in his head.
"Hey, why? You..."
"Since you are Godric Gryffindor's hat, then I think you must have his character, honesty should also be necessary, I don't think I am an impulsive, brainless Gryffindor! I hope you can take a good look before making a decision! Don’t lose your only job because of a momentary negligence! Think about it carefully, if you lose this only sorting function, how will you be in Hogwarts? continue to stay..."
"Oh! You're threatening me... Oh my God! What do I see? The great affection for friends and family, and the cunning and treachery... I think Slytherin is definitely the right one for you, hopefully this time You can be satisfied!"
"Yes, I am very satisfied! Besides, I am Malfoy now, so going to Slytherin is a matter of course!"
"Slytherin!" the Sorting Hat yelled weakly.
Harry walked off the podium with a smile on his face, and gracefully came to the Slytherin table, and everyone was silent.Although it took a little longer for his sorting, he finally met Draco at the dinner table smoothly.
After Xiaobai's appearance, today's sorting ceremony once again ushered in the most surprising scene ever, and it drove everyone crazy.
After Xiaobai put the Sorting Hat on his head, the Sorting Hat wanted to sneak into Xiaobai's deepest consciousness to spy on it as usual, but it was startled by Xiaobai's huge mental power at first, and it screamed. not come out.Afterwards, the magic wand made of unicorn scales stored in Xiaobai's body severely blocked it.

"If you don't chase me, I won't run away!"
"Okay, okay, I won't chase you anymore!" Xiaobai suddenly realized that the voice speaking to him was that of a child of a few years old, sweet and tender.So he asked suspiciously, "Are you the sorting hat?"

"Uh! This..." Xiao Bai was speechless.
"Forget it, don't talk about it! Since you know my secret, you must not tell others! Or...or..." Hat threatened weakly.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will definitely keep it a secret for you!" Xiaobai happily chatted with this magical hat he had never seen before. The time passed quickly, and what everyone saw was the broken hat writhing excitedly on top of Xiao Bai's head.
Until Dumbledore couldn't help it, and asked loudly: "Is this classmate really embarrassing you so much?" Dumbledore was mixed with a huge amount of mental pressure when he spoke, and he rushed towards the hat and the little boy head-on. white.So the two of them could only reluctantly end this pleasant conversation.
"By the way, Xiaobai, which academy do you want to go to?"
"Slytherin, my good friend and brother are all there!" Xiao Bai replied after thinking for a while.
"Okay! Slytherin!" the hat called loudly.
After Xiaobai sat next to Draco and Harry, he realized that he had chatted with the hat for an entire hour after hearing them talking, and the whole sorting ceremony and dinner were postponed by a full hour because of this. The students in the back also waited until they could no longer stand.

41. Extra Story: Neville Longbottom...
My name is Neville Longbottom. Before I was eight years old, I lived a life dependent on my grandmother. My parents used to be the best Aurors, but now they are both receiving treatment in St. Mungo's.
I don't know what kind of damage they have suffered, but the guy who can drive a well-trained Auror with a nerve strength much higher than the average person is definitely not ordinary.I learned from my grandma that the guy who murdered my parents was that mysterious man who couldn't even mention his name. He was an arrogant and powerful Dark Lord more than ten years ago.
Although I always forget a lot of things, but for this unforgettable hatred, I always keep him in my heart.Although everyone said that the mysterious man was dead, grandma firmly believed that he was still alive, and urged me to study every day, and hoped that I would become an excellent Auror like my parents, so that I could avenge my parents.
When I was young, I couldn't understand why I couldn't play and play freely like other children?Why are there so many courses that I need to learn every day?
Grandma always had a sullen face and told me coldly: "You are different from other children! You don't have the love of your parents, and you have to avenge them when you grow up, so now you have to study hard! Mastering one more spell will give you more strength, and more chips for victory!"
Although I don't understand what grandma means by these words, I am still very obedient.But I don't know why, but my reaction is always much slower than that of young wizards of the same age. It takes me ten days or even longer to master simple spells that others can learn in three days.Although I put in more effort than any little wizard, the effect was very, very poor.
Once, I couldn't sleep at night and came out to look at the moon, but I accidentally saw a picture of my grandma hugging my parents alone and weeping secretly.Grandma told them every bit of me in a low voice, complaining about my dullness and clumsiness.
At that moment, the blow to me was really too great, I slowly slipped to the corner, and sat there curled up all night, the next morning, I slowly crawled back to my room , and got seriously ill because of it.
Since then, I have been more silent and hardworking. Except for eating and sleeping, I study hard every day, and keep connecting those monotonous and boring mantras over and over again. This kind of life lasted until I was eight years old.
On my eighth birthday, Professor Albus Dumbledore, the president of the International Federation of Magic, the president of the Wizarding Association, the first-class magician of the Sir Merlin Order, and the current headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, suddenly appeared in the His presence changed my whole life, and my previous eight years of life were completely disrupted by his presence.
From that day on, I became what people call the "true savior". Although I don't understand what this means, I do know one thing. There used to be a couple of Aurors who were as good as my parents. Saved me and used my own child as bait to lure the mysterious man away, but was killed by the mysterious man in the end.Their son thus became an orphan, a complete orphan without any relatives.
It is this poor child, who was called "the savior" before that, and exists to protect my true identity.
"How could you do this? He's just an eight-year-old kid the same age as me. How can you use him as a bait? What if, what if the mysterious man is still alive and you find him? He's too It's dangerous!" For the first time, I desperately quarreled with the wise old man I admired the most.
"Oh! Son, listen to me first..." Dumbledore stopped the furious grandma, and said to me kindly: "Son, I think you must have misunderstood something! We didn't tell the world about that child. It's 'the savior', that's all media hype, and we can't get you out just to clear it up. But don't worry, his parents died heroically in the fight against the Dark Lord, we How could this be done to him? He is now living with his Muggle aunt, although he has no exposure to the wizarding world, despite the fact that he is very well cared for, and there are a large number of Aurors from the Order of the Phoenix nearby to protect him safety, so you don’t have to worry about his safety at all.”
"Is that true? I'm sorry, Professor, I was so rude just now! I solemnly apologize for my recklessness!" I bowed my head in embarrassment, feeling extremely guilty for my previous actions.
"It doesn't matter, child. You acted like a brave Gryffindor just now. You have completely inherited your parents' good character, integrity and kindness! I believe you will become an excellent Auror in the future! Become a real Auror The hero who saved the wizarding world!" Dumbledore praised me without hesitation.
"But Professor, I learn everything slower than the other kids, I'm stupid..." My voice trailed off.
"It's nothing! I think I didn't understand anything before I was ten years old, and I only know how to play every day!" Dumbledore smiled as brightly as a flower on his wrinkled face.
"Son, you can learn from me in the future! I believe you will be very good!" Dumbledore said to me sincerely.
"Really? Professor?" I looked at him in disbelief, but the joyful look in my eyes had already exposed my inner desire.
"Of course! How about this, starting tomorrow, I will come to your house every night to tutor you, what do you think?" Dumbledore seemed to discuss it, but he had already made a decision.
"Thank you very much, Professor! I will definitely work very, very hard, and I will never disappoint your hope!" I agreed excitedly.
"Good boy! I believe you will become the pride of the Longbottom family!" Dumbledore said, took out a beautiful cake box and handed it to me: "Today is your birthday, this is a little bit of mine A small gift, I hope you like it enough!"
"Thank you, Professor!" I held the box in my hands, tears streaming down my face.
"See you tomorrow night, kid!"
From then on, every night, I followed Professor Dumbledore to learn various spells and other knowledge, and practiced hard during the day.Because my memory is very bad, I drank a lot of potions that Professor Dumbledore brought me, but it didn't work, so I had to use a video stone to record what the professor said every night when the professor came to class. , and then watch it over and over again during the day, and follow along to learn.
Although the professor always said that I did a good job, I knew very well that I was still too stupid!I often wonder whether Professor Dumbledore made a mistake. How could such a clumsy person like me be the savior who defeated the mysterious man in the future!
But later, by chance, I discovered a mysterious man's Horcrux—a black diary.And with the help of Professor Dumbledore, the Horcrux was successfully eliminated, and my title of "Savior" became more convincing because of this. It was from this moment that I believed in this fact.And my title of "Savior" spread throughout the magic world, and now I don't dare to go out alone, because I will immediately be surrounded by many people.
I have been working hard, and my strength is improving day by day, but I have never heard any news about the child "Harry Potter" who used to be my stand-in for eight years.I am full of guilt and gratitude to him, and hope to have the opportunity to make up for him.
What I didn't expect was that the first time I met him would be at the gate of Gringotts, and he was actually with the former follower of the You-Know-Who, the notorious Death Eater Malfoy. children together.
At that moment, I was extremely flustered, eager to tell him all this, to make him understand that he should stay away from the Malfoy family, and that he should be on the side with the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore and me.
But for my kindness, he mercilessly refused, and told me with a smile that he is not "Potter", he is now "Harry Malfoy", and he absolutely does not want to say a word to me.
I excitedly told Professor Dumbledore all this. The professor told me that Harry was seduced by the youngest son of the Malfoy family, White Malfoy. misunderstanding.The professor sincerely hopes that I can become friends with Harry, and let him understand the painstaking efforts of his parents, so that he can return to the Order of the Phoenix and come back among us.
I accepted this task with great pleasure, and I believe that I can do it.After I knew that Harry was 11 years old like me and entered Hogwarts together this year, I made a "Save Harry" plan.I must let him see the ugly faces of the Malfoys and bring Harry back to the right path!
"Harry, here I come! I, Neville Longbottom, will definitely bring you back on track. You should be like your parents and become an excellent white wizard!"
