The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 115: Sorting ceremony

This may be the most difficult train journey Jon has ever had.

Neither the ugly-looking Auror Aristo-Moody nor the Death Eater Barty Crouch Jr. are not friendly travel companions.

The two girls dared not say a word during the entire journey, even if Moody had never looked at them.

Jon didn't have much to say, he just thought the journey was quite boring...Mad-Eye Moody's normal eyes were closed tightly, and he seemed to fall asleep; the magic eye kept wandering around.

The train kept going north, and the rain was getting heavier and harder.

The sky was pitch black and the car windows were covered with water vapor, so the lanterns were also lit during the day.

Jon took out a copy of "Standard Spells, Level 3" and looked at it there.

Astoria took out the needle and thread, and seemed to be knitting something... Natalie had leaned on her shoulder and fell asleep.

...

The Hogwarts Express finally slowed down and stopped at Hogsmeade Station in the dark.

The door of the car opened, and there was a rumble of thunder in the air.

"I have to observe the terrain near Hogwarts!" Mad-Eye Moody glanced out the window and said in a deep voice, "There may be a dark wizard lying around in ambush, and he may attack the school at any time!"

The acting was really like... Seeing Moody's far away back, Jon couldn't help but complain.

Astoria woke up Natalie who was still asleep, and they got out of the car!

It rained hurriedly and violently, as if buckets of cold water were pouring on their heads...They lowered their heads in the downpour, squinted, and walked out...

"First-year freshman, come here!" Hagrid's loud voice can be heard from a distance, and he held up the dirty pink umbrella.

"You should go there!" Jon pointed in the direction where Hagrid was, and said to Natalie: "Did you see that teacher? You have to enter the school with him."

Natalie nodded in confusion, and she walked to Hagrid's side.

"Yes, little girl, just be behind me..." Hagrid can be heard shouting loudly there.

"Oh, I can't imagine crossing the lake in this weather." Astoria bent down and said with a trembling body.

They moved little by little with the flow of people and walked across the dark platform.

Finally, they saw the one hundred familiar carriages... got into one of the carriages, and soon two unknown senior students squeezed in.

The door slammed shut; moments later, with a violent bump, the long carriage of horses reeled down the path leading to Hogwarts Castle, splashing water all the way.

...

After a few minutes, their carriage stopped under the stone steps in front of two oak gates.

"What? You mean, a great event that has been gone for a long time, will reopen this semester?" Jon said with a surprised expression on his face.

"Yeah, I just wanted to tell you just on the train..." Astoria blinked, "It's a pity that Professor Moody was there. I dare not speak much... The truth is true, Jon, My mother told me; this year's Hogwarts will be very interesting, and she might come back to see it!"

While talking, they swiftly crossed the stone steps, and at the same time they were almost drenched in rain.

"Children, come here!" Professor Flitwick was waiting for them at the gate of the castle.

When every student enters the castle, he will wave his magic wand, so that the students will be soaked in rain.

Passing through the hall, they entered the auditorium.

The auditorium was still so splendid, and it was specially decorated for Xin Xuesi's banquet.

Hundreds of candles hung in the air above the table, shining brightly on the golden plates and goblet.

"Goodbye, talk in Potions class!" Astoria waved to him, and then walked to the long Slytherin table.

...

It's much warmer inside!

Jon came to Hufflepuff's long table, and his classmates also walked in from outside.

"Good evening, Jon!" A ghost flew to his side and greeted gently.

It is a short and fat ghost dressed as a monk, the "fat monk" in the forest of Hufflepuff!

"Hello, monk!" Jon smiled and bowed to it.

"I once again persuaded them to allow Pippi to participate in the banquet, but it failed again!" The fat monk said uncomfortably, and sighed, then his expression changed: "I really hope they will be sorted out soon, I can't wait. Up!"

"Jon!" A familiar voice came from behind.

Zacharys-Smith ran over. He sat next to Jon and asked with concern: "On the summer vacation, Professor Snape didn't do anything to you, right?"

Only then did Jon remember that on the day he met Snape in Diagon Alley during the summer vacation, Zacharias ran away unscrupulously.

"I'm too afraid of Professor Snape... Seeing you drag you around the corner, I ran away..." Zacharias sneered.

"It's nothing, just threw me an oil bottle!" Jon shook his head helplessly.

More and more students came to the hall. As the students arrived, Professor McGonagall led a long row of freshmen to the front of the auditorium.

The first-year freshmen were all soaked, and Jon looked for a long time before he found Natalie in it; Professor Flitwick strode over, waved the staff at them, and got their clothes and hair. dry.

At the same time, Professor McGonagall put a three-legged stool on the ground in front of the freshmen, and put a ragged, dirty, patched wizard hat on the stool.

Then a crack near the brim of the hat opened like a mouth, and the hat suddenly sang:

"That was more than a thousand years ago. I was just woven into shape..."

...

As the singing of the Sorting Hat ended, there was thunderous applause in the auditorium.

Professor McGonagall unrolled a large roll of parchment.

"When I call someone's name, whoever puts his hat on his head and sits on the stool!" She said to the first-year freshman: "When the hat is announced to the college, go and sit at the corresponding table.

"Stewart Ackley!"

A boy stepped forward and could see that he was shaking from head to toe. He picked up the sorting hat, put it on his head, and sat on the stool.

"Ravenclaw!" the Sorting Hat shouted.

There was thunderous applause on Ravenclaw's long table.

...

"Malcolm Bardock!"

"Slytherin!"

...

"Eleanor Branston!"

"Hufflepuff!"

...

Many Hufflepuff students stood up~www.NovelMTL.com~ to welcome this freshman.

Freshmen one after another were assigned to various colleges.

Only a small half of people are left until...

"Natalie Pavlova!" the Sorting Hat shouted.

Natalie walked over nervously, sat on the stool and put on her hat.
