Howl's Moving Castle and Hogwarts Castle

The door opened, and a tall black-haired witch in an emerald green robe stood in front of the door, her lips were tightly pursed, and she was affectionate and serious.

"First year, Professor McGonagall," said the giant.

"Thank you, Hagrid. I'll pick you up when you get here." The first graders walked behind Professor McGonagall.

Ji Xing looked around all the way, the castle looked very old.Lighting is done with flaming torches.After walking through a corridor, Ji Xing could already hear the noisy voices of hundreds of people coming from the door, but Professor McGonagall did not take them in, but took them to a small empty room.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you go to the dining hall, you must first confirm which college you have entered. Classification is a This is an important ceremony, because the college is like your home at Hogwarts while you are at school. You will attend classes with other students in the college, live in the college dormitory together, and spend time together in the college common room After school time.

"The names of the four houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own glorious history and has produced outstanding wizards and wizards. You are in Huo During Gewartz's studies, your excellent performance will earn your house points, and any violations will make your house lose points.At the end of the year, the house with the highest score will win the house cup, which is very high Honor. I hope that no matter which house you are assigned to, you will bring honor to the house.

"In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of the teachers and students of the school. I suggest that you tidy up yourselves and be more energetic while waiting." ——From the original book.

After she finished speaking, she went to the door.Ji Xing looked up at the room.

"Aren't you nervous?" A weak female voice came from the side.

Ji Xing looked back and saw that it was the red-haired girl he met in Diagon Alley, "Why are you nervous?" Seeing that it was someone he knew, Ji Xing replied. He looked around and realized that some people were very nervous , either muttering to himself or rubbing the corners of his clothes.

"My brother said that they have to pass a test to sort us into colleges—it's said to be a dangerous test." Ginny said in a low voice, she was very nervous, she was afraid that she would be sent home if she couldn't get into the school.

"Oh, I don't think so. Many people have never learned magic, right?" Ji Xing was not worried at all. Her mother told her that many people had never learned magic, so the school would not use difficult methods to sort schools. But she also refused to tell herself the specific method.

Before Ginny could answer anything, Professor McGonagall came back.She asked the students to follow her.

It is a magical, beautiful, and magnificent place.Students from other classes in the academy were already sitting around four long tables, above which thousands of candles floating in the air illuminated the dining room.Glittering gold plates and goblets stood on four tables.There is another long table on the table at the top of the restaurant, which is the teacher's seat.Candles flickered, and the hundreds of faces watching them looked like pale lanterns.The ghosts also shone dimly among the students with dim dots of silver light.

Being stared at by so many people, Ji Xing was a little scared and wanted to hide behind Ginny - she was standing right in front of her, but it was a pity that Professor McGonagall made them stand in a row facing the senior students.Ji Xing had no choice but to look at the ceiling. The ceiling here was enchanted to see the starry sky outside. Ji Xing had read about it in "Hogwarts, a School History".

When the sorting began, Ji Xing realized that it was a hat that was responsible for the sorting.After the hat sang an ugly song, the sorting began.

Ji Xing's name was relatively late, and he saw that the time for the hat to sort others was sometimes short and sometimes fast.He remembered his parents guessing about which college he was going to.

Dad thinks he might go to Ravenclaw, because he's been good at reading since he was a kid.And Mom said he would go to Slytherin, but didn't say why.

Ji Xing felt that he had a higher chance of being assigned to Hufflepuff.

"Ji Xing Mocaster!"

Ji Xing took a deep breath, walked up, and put the hat on his head.

Draco was chatting with his friends below, but he had been paying attention to the blond boy all the time.Draco noticed it when he entered the hall, oh, of course such conspicuous blond hair is easy to find.He saw that the boy was no longer wearing Muggle clothes, but wearing a fitted robe, with lake green earrings that he hadn't seen before, and the earrings did not make him look effeminate, but accentuated his The face is very delicate.

"Oh, what a beautiful boy, Draco, he also has blond hair and blue eyes, but darker than yours." Pansy Parkinson noticed that Draco was distracted, and followed his gaze, It turned out that Draco was looking at a freshman.

"That's true." Blaise and Zabini also joined in. Draco has platinum blonde hair and gray blue eyes, both of the same color but not so brilliant.

"Huh," Draco saw that Ji Xing was standing with that poor Weasley again, and felt that he was very unpleasant.

Pansy and Blaise looked at each other, and felt that there was a situation. Draco didn't need to pay so much attention to a new student. Could there be something hidden?

Seeing Blaise and Pansy's increasingly strange eyes, Draco explained impatiently, "His mother has something to do with the godfather, and my father asked me to take care of him, but if he can't come to Slytherin, it's none of my business. "

"Dean?!" Both Pansy and Blaise were a little surprised, they both knew that Draco's godfather was Snape.

"It's not what you think!" Draco felt that the more they thought about it, the more crooked he was, "I'll explain it to you when I go back."

Draco decided to go back to the lounge and explain to them slowly, because Ji Xing had started sorting. I have to say that Draco was still a little nervous, but he wouldn't admit it himself.

Ji Xing's sorting time was a bit long, because he and the sorting hat were discussing where he should go.

Ji Xing felt that he was not good at getting along with others, and he didn't like to get along with others, so he wanted to go to the most humble Hufflepuff.But the sorting hat said that Ji Xing is a standard Slytherin, so he is unwilling to sort him to Hufflepuff.

After arguing for a long time without reaching a result, the Sorting Hat became impatient and came up with a unique trick.

"Five Hufflepuffs share a room, and Slytherins share a room. You choose!"

"..."

"Slytherin!" the Sorting Hat announced loudly.

There was a reserved applause from the Slytherin table - most people knew that this was the son of the next French Minister for Magic.

Ji Xing jumped off his chair and walked towards the long table of Slytherin. He would spend the next seven years here, and Ji Xing suddenly felt a sense of belonging.
