[HP] Born Noble

Chapter 11 Branch

Slytherin Code of Conduct Nine: Judging the situation, correcting the plan in time, and refusing chaos and deviation When it arrived at Hogwarts, the sky was completely dark.

Against the background of the night, Hogwarts could vaguely see its majestic silhouette, and the lights inside the castle seemed to go straight into the sky, making the freshmen who were sitting in small boats approaching the castle burst into surprise.But when they entered the castle and saw the stern-faced Professor McGonagall holding a long list and making a short admission statement, the original excitement was gradually replaced by anxiety.

The branching house and the unknown process in the branching house made little wizards, whether they were Muggle-born or pure-blooded, a little trembling.

Harry was not in the mood to listen to the people around him persistently brainwashing him anymore, but fortunately, an overly paranoid person like Ron had no time to babble to him about the benefits of Gryffindor and the evil of Slytherin, Harry felt even more flustered when he saw that Hermione Granger, who always talked with her chin up and seemed domineering but seemed to know everything, was reciting her textbook in a low voice.

Uneasy, so he habitually looked for the pair of blue-gray eyes that could make him feel at ease. Harry felt aggrieved when he saw the iconic blond hair. Why did Draco push himself away so coldly?Is it because he will be rowed to that place that everyone said is not good?

Sensing Harry's gaze, Draco turned his head, saw Harry's troubled little face, and gave him a comforting look, Draco didn't smile, but he knew Harry could feel it.To be honest, he could understand the nervousness of the first sorting. Even though he had boasted so confidently to the surroundings that he would definitely go to Slytherin, when he came to the critical point, he was not half sure in his heart, and his heart was nervous. Down.

However, of course it won’t happen this time. After going through a sorting, Draco has no doubt that he will enter Slytherin again. The last time the hat didn’t touch his scalp, he called out ‘Slytherin’. It is proving that he is an out-and-out affiliation of the snake courtyard.Because of his certainty, he was calm and relaxed, and it also greatly comforted Harry's anxiety.

After Professor McGonagall finished his lecture, he led them into the hall to face the sorting ceremony for real.When she took out the sorting hat and introduced the sorting process to them, the tense crowd let out a soft sigh of relief.

"...So, just put on that lousy hat, I'm going to kill Fred, he's talking about the Sorting Ceremony like fighting trolls..." Ron muttered.

Harry looked at the hat, and his uneasiness did not ease at all. Yes, even if it was such a simple thing, he was still full of worries about where he would be assigned and had no idea.

The sorting has begun.

Professor McGonagall took the list of freshmen and called them one by one to start sorting before going on stage.

Hannah Abbott, Hufflepuff!

Susan Burns, Hufflepuff!

Terry Boot, Ravenclaw!

……

"Draco Malfoy." Professor McGonagall called the last name beginning with M.

Draco walked up slowly, convinced that the dirty hat should have made a decision before it even touched his hair, just like last time.

Walk over, turn around, sit down.

Professor McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat gently on his head.

Oh, it fell on itself!

Things didn't go in the direction Draco imagined, a rag that hadn't been washed for a thousand years fell firmly on his hair, Draco hadn't fully adjusted his mind, a thin voice came from the hat, " Oh, I've never seen such a colorful little brain! Familiar, yet another Malfoy, of course! Well, a thirst for knowledge... oh, a strong will for self-expression and careful planning... so hard, According to tradition, of course I would be happy to assign a Malfoy to Slytherin, but..."

but? !

——Draco stared blankly, he never expected that the Sorting Hat would question his thousands of years of "traditional habits"!

"It can be seen that you have a huge thirst for knowledge, oh yes, very much! It seems that only Ravenclaw can satisfy your boundless thirst for knowledge..."

I'm a Slytherin!

—Draco is gnashing his teeth, Ravenclaw? !Merlin, why, is it because I read a few more books?

"No, no, child, you don't understand, I must assign you to a place where you can make the best of your strengths and help you realize your ambitions..."

Slytherin!

—Malfoy never went to a house other than Slytherin!

"Of course not, my boy, I remember a little head... um, oh, um... about your great-great-great-great-grandfather, Lesset Malfoy, yes, our former headmaster, a Malfoy of Ravenclaw! Curious and brilliant... But even so, I have to be honest, he is not as suitable for Ravenclaw as you..."

enough!

——Draco frowned and threatened, I'm going to Slytherin, or I'll quit school!

"So firm? Believe in my eyes, you will be like a fish in water in Ravenclaw... Well, well, since you also have an unwavering will and strong ambitions..." probably aware of Draco's stubbornness In the end, the Sorting Hat compromised and yelled, "Slytherin!"

The corner of Draco's mouth twitched, he took off the corner of his hat with two fingers, and left the seat.

Among the freshmen and old students seated at the long table in Slytherin, quite a group of people are family friends Draco has known since he was a child. They are familiar with each other, and sitting together, they have reserved Draco's seat long ago. At this moment, seeing that he was finally sorted by the sorting hat, they all greeted him.The members of the Malfoy family have always been the influential figures in Slytherin College due to their own advantages and perfect appearance. Draco is the center of their group of friends who grew up together and was assigned to Slytherin. Isn't it justified?At least Goyle was worried about being sorted into a Hufflepuff, which would never happen to a Malfoy.

"Draco, why have you been separated for so long?"

"The shabby hat is considering whether to let me go to Ravenclaw." Draco pulled back his chair and was blunt on this issue. There was nothing to be ashamed of being assigned to Ravenclaw. Winclaw does have its own unique appeal.

"Oh, if a Malfoy is not in Slytherin, is it still called Malfoy?" Blanche felt a little unbelievable.

Draco shrugged indifferently. Everyone was still chatting with each other, but suddenly they heard Professor McGonagall call out the name "Harry James Potter".

"Hey, it's Harry Potter!" Facing the great savior, the little snakes' concentration was far from enough to suppress their curiosity.

"which one?"

"Oh, it's really - tastefully - spectacles."

"He looks so small, doesn't he. Is he really 11?"

"Where do you think he will be assigned?"

Gryffindor's golden boy.

Draco also looked at Harry Potter in the middle of the hall, did not respond to everyone's chatter, but knew the answer clearly.He watched Harry walk up to the stage and sit awkwardly on the stool, before Professor McGonagall picked up the hat and handed it to him...

"Should be assigned to Gryffindor!" Senior Monty was quite sure, "The Potter family is a traditional Gryffindor..."

"Slytherin!" the Sorting Hat yelled the answer without even taking too long to hesitate.

"what?"

Senior Meng Tai roared out with almost a loss of manner.And the surprised people were by no means limited to the Slytherin table.

Draco felt dazed for a moment, this was completely out of his plans for the future.Believe him, everything would be so much easier if Harry Potter stayed in Gryffindor!But……

Is it because of something you did?

Or is this world not the one he thought it was at all?

Did Harry ask the Sorting Hat?No, no, Draco quickly denied his conjecture. He knew how stubborn that hat was, and he was almost thrown into Ravenclaw just because he had read a little more. In the short time it took to think about it, Harry and Ben hadn't had a chance to haggle with the bastard hat - that is, the bastard hat really believed that Harry Potter should be in Slytherin house.

why?

Now is not the time to find an answer, Harry has already walked this way, but there is still a low buzzing under the long Slytherin table, Draco is the first to straighten his back and start applauding, while kicking Goyle away to let him go Move around to make room for yourself.Malfoy's public attitude made many hesitant, fearful and confused people put down their doubts and began to respond, and they became more and more enthusiastic. The applause was definitely huge. Of course, the worship of power is the creed of Slytherin, and the hero complex is everything. The generality of children, abandoning the complicated world of adults, among more ordinary Slytherin students, the savior who defeated the Dark Lord at the age of one is an idol-level existence, there is no doubt about it.

"Welcome to Slytherin, Mr. Potter." Prefect Frywalk stood up and seated Harry in the vacant seat next to Malfoy.

Then one after another, the Slytherin long table, especially Draco's corner, added several famous people, such as the young lady of the Parkinson family, the second young master of the Burke family, and Blaise Zabi. Nicky's notorious 'bad' boy, then the sorting ends and the dinner begins.

The small circle where Harry is sitting is mixed with Slytherin students from grades [-] to [-], and regardless of their age, they all seem to be very familiar with each other, unlike those behind the long table who are seated according to grade, or They all looked very restrained—this is the circle of power on the Slytherin long table. Harry’s left and right were all young wizards from relatively prestigious families in the wizarding world. Good family education made these little snakes die of curiosity. Noticing the scar on the Savior's forehead, he was also trying his best to put on a look of indifference on the surface, talking in a friendly and restrained manner, Harry felt that this kind of atmosphere was not bad, and of course Draco was next to him, This is the best of the best.

Draco didn't participate in the chat in the Slytherin circle of power at first, and after silently eating several mouthfuls of steak, he finally put down his knife and fork, "Harry, what did the Sorting Hat tell you? I thought you would go to Grid Gryffindor, Senior Monty just now," Draco nodded at Monty with a smile, introduced, and then continued, "It is said that the ancient Potter family is the traditional Gryffindor family, but it made you come to Slater Forest."

"Well... I don't know, it starts off saying it's hard, about talent, courage, good heart and stuff, and then it says the right things can make me great," said Harry a little bit about repeating such a compliment. Blushing, "It says [Slytherin will eventually help me to glory, no doubt about it.]" Harry repeated the words of the Sorting Hat carelessly.

Draco nodded and began to smile, "Of course, Slytherin never rejects the strong." He glanced lightly at the little snakes around him who were all listening to them with their ears upright, and he was satisfied. It won't take long, The Sorting Hat's comment on Harry could be privately circulated throughout the Slytherin world.

[towards glory]

Oh, Draco guessed that there must be a good reason for the Sorting Hat to assign Harry to Slytherin, but he didn't expect that broken hat to give such a high evaluation!

Merlin's beard!

Now, I am afraid that only Merlin really knows what such a comment means to the little snakes in Slytherin and the old snakes behind them—how did the Dark Lord win the support of so many ancient families back then?And now, the snake-faced monster suffered a disgraceful defeat 11 years ago, at the hands of the Boy Who Lived who was 'going to prosper in Slytherin'.

Slytherins have always known how to judge the situation. After all, there are very few loyal people. Most of them have the essence of the Slytherin spirit. Even if no one will obviously turn their backs now, at least, the future Slytherin status of the savior boy is just like this. Lay a solid foundation.

Draco Malfoy, who controlled everything behind the scenes, cut off a piece of veal angrily. He was sorted twice, but he didn't even get a "brilliant" edge, and he was almost thrown into Ravenclaw!

Harry ate three pieces of lamb chops, so as to relieve his hunger, he began to look around leisurely. He saw Hagrid first. The big man was so eye-catching. Hagrid was watching worriedly. He, catching Harry's gaze, waved at him with a grin.

Another obvious target is the principal in the center of the guest table, with a long white silver beard and a shining robe of stars and moons, making him look very childlike and kind; Professor Quirrell met in the tavern, because of the location, this time Professor Quirrell's ridiculous big turban was blocked by his own shiny brain, which reduced the comedy effect, but Harry still had a bad impression of him , who likes a nervous stutter?Even if he is a teacher.

and also……

Draco had just scooped up a spoonful of pudding when Harry nudged him and nearly fell on the table.

"Draco... on the teacher's bench," Harry couldn't help flinching, "that black-haired, stern-looking teacher has been glaring at me."

Draco looked up, aha!It's the godfather.

Recalling how many points the golden boy of Gryffindor lost under the hands of the godfather in his previous life, Draco couldn't help guessing maliciously that the godfather was probably even more depressed about not being able to unscrupulously deduct points for the savior boy, "He is our The dean, Professor Snape, who teaches Potions, is very strict, but has always defended us Slytherins."

"But he doesn't like me." Harry bit his lower lip, it was too tragic that even the dean who protected him didn't like him.

Seeing Harry's sad face, Draco felt aggrieved in his heart. This kind of cold reception is nothing, not to mention that the godfather has always disliked people surnamed Potter, even his dear godson has never been short of a smile. Thinking of this Draco Ke couldn't help feeling resentful, "He's still my godfather, but the copying I was punished by him is enough to fill the entire Hogwarts library!"

Draco ignored Harry's blue face as if he had drunk the bile of an armadillo, raised his face and gave the godfather a Malfoy smile, then looked back at Harry, not without compassion, "You should really be thankful for yourself now Sorted into Slytherin, think, if you were a Gryffindor..."

"Fortunately not!" Harry replied firmly. He has received a lot of unfriendly stares from the Gryffindor long table opposite since he was sorted, including Ron and his P badge. , Brother who looks very good, that's really uncomfortable, and he didn't say that he would go to Gryffindor, why did he look like he did something wrong?

Draco followed Harry's gaze, and at the table opposite, there were quite a few familiar faces, from the Weasleys, the Longbottoms, and unfortunately there was no Potters anymore... Gryffindor Gold One corner of the triangle is missing... er, two corners?Draco frowned, and scanned again quickly, but still couldn't find Miss Know-It-All, knowing that her lion-like shaggy hair was an unmissable target.

"Who are you looking for, Draco?"

"Granger..."

"I know her!" Harry's eyes lit up, the righteous, proud, and outspoken little witch left a deep impression on Harry on the train, "She's in Ravenclaw."

"what?"

Harry shrugged, thinking it was quite natural, "Draco, think about it, she memorized all the textbooks!"

Draco swears, this is definitely not the world he is familiar with!
