NOVEL WEB Chapter 8 The Sorting Ceremony
"You are Harry Potter?"
"It seems that the rumors are true."
"I think we should get to know each other. My name is Draco Malfoy, and these two are Goyle and Crabbe."
After getting off the boat, Malfoy brought Goyle and Crabbe to Harry Potter, and smiled condescendingly.
Harry Potter looked at Malfoy in front of him, smiled slightly, and said, "Harry Potter."
Harry Potter's response made Malfoy feel pretty good, so he glanced at Ronald and Hermione beside Harry, and said with a smile: "Harry, you should understand that our wizard family is superior to some wizards, and we also Not half an hour."
"Although you are a beautiful girl, a Muggle is a Muggle. No matter how beautiful you are, you are just a vase. Even though you have become a wizard, you are still just a wizard with little strength."
"Look at him, red hair, an old robe passed down from the family, this is a child of the Weasley family, such a person, there is a big gap with us, I hope you can stay away from them, this is a stain on us."
"Now, we're the same people, we're the friends."
After speaking, Malfoy stretched out his hand towards Harry Potter, and motioned to Harry Potter.
Hermione and Ronald were very dissatisfied when they heard Malfoy's words.
However, they also knew what kind of advantages and pride Malfoy had as a pure-blooded family.
Harry Potter was taken care of by Hermione and Ronald along the way.
On platform nine and three quarters, the Ronald family was very friendly to him and told him how to enter platform nine and three quarters.
Hermione, she fixed his glasses, and she was very cute, very knowledgeable, she knew a lot, although it was a bit verbose.
"They are my friends. On the contrary, your words make me very disgusted."
"You should apologize to them!"
Malfoy seemed to have heard the big joke. He opened his hands, with an exaggerated and disdainful smile on his face. He shook his body, looked at Crabbe and Goyle, and said with a smile, "Listen? What am I hearing? A joke? He actually asked me to apologize to them!"
Having said that, Malfoy suddenly turned around, looked at Harry, and said seriously: "Harry, I can tell you very seriously that this is impossible."
"How could a pure-blood gentleman bow his head and apologize to a Muggle, a Weasley?"
Facing Malfoy, Harry said seriously, "You don't look like a gentleman at this moment."
Harry didn't know the exact difference and status between pure blood and Muggles, but when it came to a gentleman, Harry believed that Kate Lyle was a real noble gentleman.
Malfoy chuckled, then glanced at Ronald and Hermione, and left with Crabbe and Goyle.
Because Hagrid is coming this way.
He didn't want to mess with Hagrid, even though Hagrid was just a warehouse keeper!
But, Hagrid is too big, they can't beat Hagrid, it's a children's game, adults should not be involved in it.
In front of the auditorium.
Professor McGonagall was wearing an emerald green robe, black hair, and exquisite attire. He walked slowly in front of the stairs with a serious look on his face.
This made the freshmen coming from the corner of the stairs subconsciously stop and fell silent after seeing Professor McGonagall.
Because, Professor McGonagall's expression was somewhat serious, which made them feel difficult to get along with.
Harry, Hermione, and Ronald stood together, looking at Professor McGonagall, they all shut their mouths at this moment, not daring to speak.
However, Ronald looked at Harry with teasing eyes: "This woman is so fierce, we will be miserable."
Harry looked into Ronald's eyes, reached out to touch his eyes, so as to resist Professor McGonagall's gaze, and winked at Ronald: "Yes, he is very fierce. If it falls into his hands, we may be miserable."
Hermione looked at Ronald and Harry, the exquisite little faces were full of disbelief: "" You are such a person.
Hagrid saw Professor McGonagall, still with a cheerful smile on his face, and said: "First-year freshmen, this one is Professor McGonagall, a great transfiguration master, and Professor McGonagall will teach you transfiguration."
Harry waited for the freshmen to listen and applaud quickly.
Facing such a serious teacher, I hope that the sound of applause can melt his smile and make us relax.
It seems that this effect is good.
Professor McGonagall showed a smile on his face, a little gentle, but still a little serious, because the laughter only lasted for a second and then put it away.
"Thank you, Hagrid, leave it to me." Professor McGonagall still had a good impression of Hagrid, and he made a good start.
"No problem, Professor McGonagall!" Hagrid said with a gesture of invitation and a smile on his face.
Professor McGonagall nodded, turned around, and opened the door behind him.
The door was very big, very high, and even very bulky, but in front of a slender woman like Professor McGonagall, it was easily pushed open.
Such a group of Harry and others who had not really touched magic were exclaimed.
Of course, there are more children who are called Muggles. For example, Draco Malfoy, a pure-blooded child whose parents are wizards, treats the scene in front of him very calmly. , but with a look of disdain.
The interior of the auditorium is very wonderful and magnificent.
There were already seniors from other grades sitting at long tables, above which thousands of candles floated in mid-air, illuminating the entire auditorium.
What surprised Harry even more was the stars shining on the ceiling, as if the ceiling didn't exist.
The entire auditorium looks very sacred, especially under the gaze of everyone, it seems a bit serious.
Seeing Harry looking up at the ceiling with a look of surprise, Hermione whispered, "This place is enchanted, so it looks as beautiful as the sky outside."
Harry nodded, understanding.
Because it is hard to believe that there is really a ceiling on it, and it is also difficult to believe that the auditorium is open-air.
"Welcome to Hogwarts, first-year students." Professor McGonagall stood on the stage, with a black hat next to her, which was placed alone on a high table.
It was a pointed wizard hat, patched, old and battered, and looked dirty.
However, it is placed here, it is very obvious, and it seems a bit out of place with the grandeur of the auditorium at this time.
"Before the opening banquet is about to start, you must first determine which college you will be assigned to."
"It's a very important ceremony and everyone has to take part in it."
"Because, while you are at school, the house is your home at Hogwarts."
"You have to attend classes with other students in the college, live together in the dormitory of the college, and spend spare time together in the college's library, garden, and Quidditch grounds."
"Hogwarts has four major colleges, namely Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each college has its own glorious history, and many powerful wizards came out of it."
"I hope you guys will be as good as they are and beyond."
…………
"Okay, now the sorting ceremony has officially started. I hope you will adjust yourself well when you accept the sorting. This may be related to which college you will be sorted into."
…………
Professor McGonagall talked a lot, and a group of freshmen listened carefully, not daring to speak casually at this time and disturb Professor McGonagall.
Of course, the main reason is that there are other professors and principals watching them here.
They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Professor McGonagall finished speaking.
However, Harry's mood was very good after he entered the auditorium and saw Kate Lyle standing beside Dumbledore.
Mr. Kate Lyle is really here and he didn't lie to me.
Kate Lyle also saw Harry, facing Harry's gaze, Kate Lyle smiled.
Harry watched Kate Lyle clenched her little hand, and while he was excited, he was also curious about which college he would be assigned to and whether he would become Kate Lyle's student.
"Wow!"
With an exclamation, the quiet and solemn auditorium suddenly became agitated, and it also made a group of children scream.
They were terrified.
It turned out that behind them, more than 20 ghosts suddenly emerged from the wall, the ceiling, and even the ground, and passed through their bodies.
These poor kids, when have you ever seen a ghost? As for the TV stuff, well, that's just actors.
However, these pearly white, translucent ghosts in front of them actually appeared in front of them, and there seemed to be a quarrel, of course, some of them were not.
Therefore, they are very sure that these ghosts are real.
"Welcome to Hogwarts."
"Hope you guys get Hufflepuff, that's my old house."
"I thought my head should leave my body, but, it didn't, and I lost again."
…………
Professor McGonagall looked at these ghosts, frowned slightly, and said: "This is a serious process, you should keep quiet."
After hearing Professor McGonagall's words, the ghosts fluttered back to the sides, watching the children quietly, but still kept some smiles on their faces, as if they were very satisfied with their masterpiece.
Professor McGonagall looked at the pale children, and said with a serious expression: "You have to learn to accept the miraculous and incredible things, such as those ghosts just now."
After a pause, Professor McGonagall glanced at Harry and the others before saying, "Now, the ones whose names I read will come up and accept the sorting ceremony."
