Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 19: A Spy Among Us
Professor McGonagall returned before making the freshmen wait long. She arranged the freshmen in a single line and led everyone into the auditorium.
The academy's auditorium is large, with four long tables full of students. Hundreds of candles floated above the heads of the crowd, illuminating the entire auditorium.
The candle flame is also some kind of magic fire, otherwise the picture of the candles above the head dripping wax together would not be too beautiful.
As all kinds of weird thoughts flooded Albert's head, the team had reached a stool with a dirty and torn hat on it.
It is said that this is Gryffindor's hat.
"I really hope they can wash the Sorting Hat well." Albert disliked the Sorting Hat a bit, because it was so dirty, maybe it was a thousand years old, maybe no one had cleaned the hat at all .
I can't stand it.
By the time Albert recovered, the Sorting Hat had ended its usual opening song to the applause of the crowd.
Professor McGonagall takes a roll of parchment and begins the roll call.
Of course, Albert was the first to be named, who made his surname start with a.
In full view, Albert stepped forward, sat in a chair, and let Professor McGonagall put his hat on his head.
"Don't go to Slytherin, don't go to Slytherin."
Although he knew that the possibility of going to Slytherin was very small, he still read a few words softly to avoid accidentally falling into the pit.
"Well, it's hard to see that you have courage, a good heart, talent, and wisdom," the Sorting Hat asked softly. "Where do you want to go other than Slytherin?"
Albert was speechless. Does the Sorting Hat mean that he is suitable for any college except Slytherin?
"Oh, I think you've made a choice, so..."
"Gryffindor." When the Sorting Hat called out Gryffindor, Albert knew what its so-called choice was.
If it wasn't the twins and Lee Jordan who met in the carriage, but students from the other two colleges, he should have gone to another college.
The Sorting Hat ultimately helps him make a choice.
After all, Albert had to stay in the Academy for seven more years, and he didn't want to be the original Hermione, without a single friend, how tragic that would be.
Of course, there are also night tours, and the twins are undoubtedly the best night tour partners.
After the Sorting Hat called out Gryffindor, there was a burst of cheers from the table furthest to the left.
However, the twins and Lee Jordan in the team couldn't help but talk, and never thought that Albert would be assigned to Gryffindor.
What about Ravenclaw?
After Professor McGonagall took the hat, Albert walked towards the cheers. The front row of the long table was vacated, apparently for freshmen.
When Albert passed by, a few people stood up and shook hands with him, each with a badge on his chest, presumably the prefect, or the student council president.
He shook hands with several people one by one, smiling and nodding in response.
The Sorting Ceremony continued, and after the Hat called out Slytherin, Albert turned his attention back to the Hat, looking at it curiously as Professor McGonagall read Cedric Diggory. A cannon fodder in a novel.
The other party is still a handsome little guy, no wonder he is called a creamy boy, but I don't know if the other party will become a tragedy. After all, this time it was my own little butterfly who was fanning the flames.
As expected, the Weasley twins were also sorted into Gryffindor. A red-haired man was very happy and waved at the twins. Albert also took a closer look. It should be a legend Percy Weasley in.
By the way, the Weasley twins were at the bottom. After they were sorted into Gryffindor, the sorting ceremony was over. Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment and left with the sorting hat. As for the piece The bench also disappeared.
"Wow! We thought you would be assigned to Ravenclaw." Both the twins and Lee Jordan stared at Albert with exaggerated expressions, as if they were looking at some rare animal.
This one was not sorted into Ravenclaw, is that Sorting Hat broken?
"Very strange?" Albert disagreed. "By the way, I just discovered a secret about the Sorting Hat."
"What secret?" Li Jordan asked curiously.
"It's not a secret if you say it." Albert didn't plan to tell them, "That's why I was assigned to Gryffindor."
Albert's eyes swept across the crowd, and he couldn't help shaking his head, "I said it so clearly, but no one guessed it. Should it really be Gryffindor?"
However, everyone no longer pays attention to this so-called secret. After the sorting is over, it is Dumbledore's turn to give a speech, and then it is time to open his stomach for a big meal.
"Welcome..." Dumbledore looked at the students with a smile on his face and stretched out his arms to them, "Welcome to Hogwarts, a new term has begun! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. A word. That is: "Stupid, crying, scrap, screwing. Thank you everyone!"
Just a few words.
The gap, this is the gap!
Compared to those guys who talk a lot of nonsense, Dumbledore understands the mind of a freshman and knows that everyone has no patience to listen to nonsense.
"Do you know the meaning of those words?" Albert asked the prefect beside him.
The prefect who was questioned by Albert froze, obviously not knowing how to answer this question.
At this moment, the prefect suddenly felt that the Weasley just said was right, this guy should go to Ravenclaw, not stay in Gryffindor.
"It seems that no one knows this, so we can only ask him himself?" Albert murmured ~IndoMTL.com~ These words are considered unsolved in the Harry Potter novels. puzzle.
The corners of the people's mouths twitched when they heard the words, and they didn't know what to say. Is this going to ask Dumbledore directly?
Ravenclaw students are not as intellectually curious as you are!
This is definitely an eagle hiding in a pack of lions.
Hey, come on someone quickly and throw this guy on the table next door!
Ignoring the strange gazes of others, Albert fell into contemplation.
In my previous life, there were several interpretations of these words on the Internet:
Rumor has it that the Latin words for those words mean: May Merlin bless you.
Of course, some people think that it is the different attitudes of the four colleges.
Ravenclaw students think that those who don't get into Ravenclaw are idiots.
Gryffindor students think others are less brave than them.
Slytherin students consider half-bloods or mudbloods to be useless scraps.
Hufflepuff students hope that students from other houses will adjust their behavior.
As for what the truth is, Albert doesn't know, maybe he will have a chance to know the truth, from Dumbledore.
Boom!
The roof of the castle was suddenly struck by lightning, and the weather magic that was cast suddenly failed.
This scene really shocked everyone.
Dumbledore took out his wand and used magic on the top of his head. The lightning and thunder disappeared, and the majestic rain also disappeared, and the top of everyone's heads became a star-studded night sky again.
"Okay, the banquet begins." Dumbledore raised his spoon, tapped the cup, and announced that the banquet had begun, and the plates on the table were filled with food like magic.
