HP's profit-seeking

The freshmen were led by Professor McGonagall to form a line in front of all the senior students. A four-legged stool was lightly placed in front of them, and then a wizard hat with a pointed top was placed on the stool.The cap was patched, worn out, and dirty.

Stacy leaned over quietly and said in a low voice, "Look at their faces, they are all pale with fright."

Danica looked at the freshmen, they were all staring at the sorting hat, their faces were pale, she wanted to laugh, but there was no sound in the dining room, she tried her best to hold it back.

Then the hat began to twist, and a wide slit opened in the brim like a mouth—and the hat began to sing:

"You may think I'm not beautiful, but don't judge people by their appearance, if you can find a hat more beautiful than me, I can eat myself.

You can make your bowler hats jet-black and your top hats sleek and crisp, but I'm the Hogwarts test hat, so I'm a cut above yours.Any idea hidden in your mind can't hide from the eyes of the magic hat. Put it on and try it, and I will tell you which college you should be assigned to.You may belong to Gryffindor, where there is bravery buried in the bottom of the heart, and their courage, boldness and boldness make Gryffindor outstanding; you may belong to Hufflepuff, where people are honest and loyal, and Hufflepuff's The students are stoic and honest, not afraid of hard work; if you are smart, you may enter the wise Ravenclaw, and those wise and learned people will always meet their colleagues there; maybe you will enter Slytherin, maybe You can make sincere friends here, but those cunning and insidious people will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.Come put it on me!Don't be afraid!Never panic!In my hands (although I don't even have a hand) you're safe because I'm a thinking hat! "

After the magic hat sang, the audience applauded thunderously, and so did Danica, who clapped her hands vigorously, thinking of herself two years ago.The hat bowed to each of the four tables, and then remained still.

Then, Professor McGonagall took a step forward with a roll of brown paper in his hand, and called the freshmen one by one to put on their hats.

"Hannah Abbott!" "Hufflepuff!"... "Terry Boot!" "Ravenclaw!"

After waiting for a while, finally the first student assigned to Ravenclaw appeared.The students sitting at the second table from the left clapped their hands. When the little boy came over, Roger, who was sitting next to Stacy, even stood up excitedly and shook hands with him.

Another freshman was assigned to Ravenclaw, and Lavender Brown became the first freshman in Gryffindor. The farthest table on the left suddenly burst into cheers, and Danica was separated by two rows of people. , saw the Weasley twins at the next table hiss, and one even jumped up.

The Sorting Hat has been working for a while, and there are not many new students left. Danica can't help but start to lose her mind.At this time, the sorting hat suddenly shouted: "Harry Potter!"

Danica snapped back to her senses and looked at the thin, black-haired boy. She found that almost everyone was staring at him.Stacy also stretched her neck, wanting to see his appearance clearly, "This is that Harry Potter?"

"Yeah." Danica stared at the boy, anticipating what the Sorting Hat was about to say.

The same is true for Roger, he whispered the feelings of the entire table, "I really hope that Harry Potter can come to Ravenclaw."

After a while, the hat shouted to the whole restaurant: "Gryffindor!", the Gryffindor people seemed to be crazy, cheering loudly, Fred and George shouted: "We have Potter!" ! We've got Potter!"

Everyone in Ravenclaw couldn't hide the disappointment on their faces, and then a freshman named Lisa Dupin was assigned to Ravenclaw, and Danica and the others just clapped reservedly.

The sorting ceremony was finally over.Professor Dumbledore stood up in a funny purple robe. He looked at the students with a big smile and opened his arms to them. "Welcome!" he said. "Welcome to Hogwarts to start a new school year! Before I start, I want to say a few words. It is: Idiot! Sniff! Scum! Twist! Thank you!" and he sat down again.

Danica whispered to Stacy, "Did he drink before he came?"

At this time, the dinner plate on the table was full of food.Her eyes were glued to the dinner plate, and she was tangling over the pork chops and lamb chops with her fork, and she heard Stacey say: "That professor sitting on the far end is so strange, he has a big scarf wrapped around his head. Is he bald? It covers the back of his head."

Hearing this, Danica raised her head to look at him, feeling a little familiar. After thinking for a while, the fork in her hand dropped on the dinner plate, making a crisp sound.She approached Stacy and said in a low voice, "Do you remember what I said before that I saw the man who broke into Gringotts? I said that the man had a big scarf wrapped around his head."

Stacy was startled, and suddenly looked at the professor on the teacher's seat again, "Could it be him?"

"I'm not sure, but I think it's very possible." Danica suddenly lost her appetite, and she randomly forked a piece of potato into her mouth and chewed.

Stacy turned her head and discussed with Roger what was wrong about the professor in a low voice, and finally decided to discuss it after returning to the dormitory after dinner, after all, there are too many people at the table now.

After a while, the rest of the food on the plate disappeared, and the plate and fork became as clean as ever. After a few seconds, pudding and various desserts came up.

Danica ate the marmalade pudding one bite at a time, and couldn't help but look at the professor in the scarf again. When he felt something was wrong and looked over, she calmly shifted her gaze away and talked with the other person beside her. A Ravenclaw chatted up, "Hey, Jane, do you know who the new professor is sitting next to Professor Snape on the stage?"

Jane, with short hair and thick glasses, said, "That's Professor Quirrell, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I hear he went to school in Ravenclaw, and he's brilliant."

Danica looked at the pale young man above him, looking like he was about to faint, trembling all over, it was really hard to associate him with the words "extremely smart".

Finally, the desserts disappeared too, and Professor Dumbledore stood up again.The dining room was quiet again, "Oh, now that everyone is full and drunk, I want to say a few more words to everyone. At the beginning of the semester, I would like to make a few points for everyone to pay attention to. Attention freshmen, campus The woods inside are strictly off-limits to students. Some of our senior students should also take good care of that." His eyes swept across the Gryffindor table, which Danica noticed, and she thought the words were in harmony with the Gryffindor table. Said by a Gryffindor student.

"Also, Mr. Filch, the administrator, asked me to remind everyone not to do magic in the corridors between classes.

Quidditch player reviews will take place during the second week of the term.Anyone who is interested in participating in the college team please contact Mrs. Hooch.

Finally, I must tell everyone that those who do not want to suffer accidents and die in pain, please do not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor. "

As soon as he finished speaking, there were fragments of laughter from Gryffindor.Danica leaned into Stacy's ear and said, "I feel something is wrong. Professor Dumbledore didn't explain the reason why we are not allowed to go to these places. He always explained the reason in the past."

"I also think that with his half-sentence behavior, I guess there must be someone in Gryffindor who wants to see it. They are the most adventurous." Stacy said.

"Now, before we all go to bed, let's sing the school song together!" cried Dumbledore, looking very happy.He flicked the wand lightly, and a long golden ribbon flew out of the wand, twisting and coiling lines of words above the high dining table like a snake.

Danica sang the school anthem in a sped-up version of the "Wedding March" in the chorus of all the teachers and students with a blank face. The slow melody of "Funeral March" continued.Professor Dumbledore helped them conduct the last few bars with great interest, and when they finished singing, his applause was the loudest.

"How could there be such a cooperative person?" Danica thought blankly.

Then they were ready to go back to the dormitory, and the Ravenclaw fifth-year prefect took the first-year students to the Ravenclaw tower on the west side of the castle.Danica and Stacy winked at Roger, who was pushed away by the crowd, and the two of them took a short cut to the tower first.

At the top of the tower, there was an old bare wooden board with an eagle-shaped bronze knocker on it. Danica and Stacy stood outside the door, and heard the knocker ask, "Which came first, the fire or the phoenix?"

"It's a cycle with no beginning." Danica answered quickly.

The door opened, they ducked in, and the wooden door closed again.Once inside, there is a large circular room with elegant arched windows and blue and bronze silk hangings on the walls.The domed ceiling is dotted with morning stars, echoing the stars on the dark blue carpet on the floor.There are tables, chairs, bookshelves, and a white marble bust of Rowena Ravenclaw in an alcove opposite the door.Danica and Stacy pushed open a door next to the stone statue and entered the dormitory, and pushed open the door of their dormitory.

Seeing Danica come in, Parather flew excitedly over the room, their luggage already on their respective beds.Danica quickly restored the contents of the suitcase to their original size and put them where they should be, as did Stacy.

After a while, someone knocked on the door three times, and Danica who was closer to the door hurriedly opened the door, and Roger quickly slipped in.At this time, they hadn't finished tidying up their things, so they could only sweep the things on the bed aside temporarily, and Danica found a stool for Roger to sit on, and the two girls sat on the bed.

"I heard that Professor Quirrell originally taught Muggle studies, but he took a break from studying for two years in order to gain some first-hand practical experience." Roger exchanged the information he had just inquired with them, " It is said that he met a vampire in the Black Forest, an old witch made him suffer a lot, and when he came back he was a different person, timid and stammering."

"The more I think about it now, the more likely he is the person I saw breaking into Gringotts that day. The big turban on his head is really special." Danica said.

"But why did he break into Gringotts? You said you heard the goblins say that it was Professor Dumbledore's vault that was broken into?" Stacy whispered, as if afraid of being overheard.

Danica frowned and thought for a while, "Yes, I can't figure it out either. There are too many doubts. After Professor Quirrell became timid, he changed from teaching Muggle research to teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. Go to Gringotts to steal something? Does Professor Dumbledore know about this? Why is the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor that Professor Dumbledore said tonight not allowed to pass?"

"Shall we go and speak to Professor Dumbledore then?" Roger asked.

"No, I'm not sure that Professor Quirrell is the one who broke into Gringotts. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake in the end. Let's observe him again," Danica said.

Roger and Stacy nodded in agreement.Then Stacy opened the door of the dormitory and looked out. There was no one in the corridor, and everyone should have returned to their dormitories.She hooked her hands at Roger and urged, "Quick!" Roger quickly went out and walked to the boys' dormitory in another corridor.

The skillful cooperation of several people clearly proved that this kind of thing was not done for the first time.After closing the door, Danica said to Stacy, "I have a hunch that this school year will not be peaceful."

The author has something to say:

1. The descriptions of the sorting hat and the restaurant refer to the original work.

2. In fact, Professor Quirrell took a one-year leave. In order to prevent Danica from recognizing him at first, I changed it to two years without permission.
