Chapter 29: Regret
After summarizing the information given by Sorting Hat, Coven spoke again after thinking for a while.
"I don't like dark underground, so Slytherin and Hufflepuff excluded. Tell me about Ravenclaw and Gryffindor…"
"Of course." Sorting Hat was generous and said a few words, "Ravenclaw has their own little library and has a lot of knowledge inside. The password to enter the dormitory is also different from other schools. It needs to answer all kinds of questions from the door knocker. It is very novel and fun..."
"Wait." Coven interrupted Sorting Hat's introduction. "Ravenclaw has to answer questions to enter the dormitory? What question is it?"
"I don't know." Sorting Hat replied, "The problem of the door knocker changes every day when you face everyone."
"Forget it. I don't like trouble." Hearing this, Coven responded in a bored manner.
"Haha, this child is really interesting." Sorting Hat laughed loudly and then said, "Then there is only Gryffindor left. Are you sure?"
"Mm, alright, it's confirmed." Coven nodded slightly.
"Alright, I'm going to announce it." Sorting Hat said, and then the 'mouth wrinkles' on his hat began to twist and twist. He announced loudly in the hall, "GRYFFINDOR-"
Whoosh...
At the end of the Gryffindor long table, all kinds of cheers rang out. Many senior students got up and raised their arms to applaud, giving Coven the most enthusiastic welcome.
"Very good!" Next to him, Professor McGonagall reached out and took Sorting Hat off of Coven's head. She whispered with a smile, "Very good, child."
"Thank you, Professor." Coven got up and thanked Professor McGonagall. Then he smiled and walked down the table. He came to the long table of Gryffindor and sat down on the bench that the two students had vacated for him.
As the cheers and applause fell, the students around Coven leaned over and greeted Coven. Coven also nodded politely in response.
...
The sorting continued.
After more than half an hour, the last freshman branch finally finished. The entire auditorium gradually quieted down. Professor McGonagall put away the chairs and Sorting Hat on the table, returned to the professor's table, and then knocked on the crystal glass with a spoon.
Next to him, Headmaster Dumbledore stood up again and slowly said, "Welcome all the new students of Hogwarts. Next, the banquet will begin…."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of food suddenly appeared on the four long tables in the auditorium.
"Wow -"
Cries of surprise constantly sounded from the mouths of the new students, lamenting the magic and the richness of the food.
Coven glanced at the food in front of him. He directly ignored the huge oily skin turkey. He also ignored the corn, french fries, and bread. Only then did Coven find food that could make him eat. –There were two kinds of food that interested him. One was fried chicken legs, and the other was a pot of roasted lamb ribs.
Seeing that the surrounding students had begun to eat, Coven no longer observed. He pulled three whole lamb chops and picked up ten chicken legs on the plate in front of him. He picked them up and ate them.
Speaking of which, Coven had not eaten a full meal in a long time…
Unlike the ordinary people in this world, Coven had Master Physical Skills as well as strong physical fitness. When the body became stronger, it naturally required more nutrition. However, to avoid shocking the world for the past month or so, Coven had always maintained the normal amount of food that others thought was normal.
For this reason, Coven could only take advantage of the opportunity to visit Penelope's house to move around and practice.
Now that he was in a new environment, without Ollivander's attention by his side, Coven could finally let go of his appetite and make up for the lack of nutrition he had had for more than a month.
In any case, no one would especially write a letter to Ollivander because of his appetite.
This would let Ollivander sense something.
Of course, Coven, who was eating, deliberately lowered his sense of existence. He basically did not express any opinions about the surrounding topics. He only responded perfunctorily from time to time.
From time to time, he would spread out the bones that he had finished eating, and while the students on the left and right sides were not paying attention, he would quietly stuff a few bones in their direction.
During this time, while taking advantage of the various ghost parade at Hogwarts to attract the surrounding people's attention, Coven moved faster and instantly wiped out a large amount of food.
At this moment, Coven felt the sight on his body and immediately turned to look.
On the other side of Ravenclaw's long table, Penelope stared at him angrily, as if complaining about how he came to Gryffindor.
Coven replied with a heartless smile and received a supercilious look from the other party.
After stuffing himself for more than ten minutes, Coven finally stopped eating. Then he took a deep breath and operated the secret method of '- Fantasy Technology's internal ', so that the food piled up in his stomach was quickly digested.
Then, Coven finally began to eat normally, and at the same time, he also joined the topic of the students on the left and right to express some opinions...
The banquet lasted for more than half an hour until no one continued to eat. Headmaster Dumbledore then announced the end of the banquet, and at the same time, the leftovers on the table disappeared instantly.
Professor McGonagall then ordered the senior leaders to lead the students of their respective academies back to their dormitories.
....
After walking through the corridor through the door behind the auditorium and turning two stairs, everyone came to an empty tower full of moving stairs.
Slytherin and the students of Hufflepuff Academy were led by the senior leader to the stairs below. Ravenclaw's students went first and went directly to the passage to the western tower of the castle.
Only the students of Gryffindor were left…
"Senior, which floor is Gryffindor on?" a female freshman asked.
"The top floor."
"What floor is the top floor?"
"The eighth floor."
Hearing this, Coven's face stiffened, and he muttered softly, "I regret it..."
"Let's go, students." The male prefect greeted all the Gryffindor students, "Pay attention to follow my footsteps. Also, be careful of moving stairs. If you fall, remember not to move. Wait until the stairs return to the right position before continuing forward. I will wait for you."
"Alright..." Coven muttered again, "I really regret it. Can I choose a new house..."
Knowing that things couldn't be done, Coven could only follow the steps of the super-long like the other freshmen.
As they climbed up the stairs one by one, they still had to wait for the students who were brought elsewhere by the moving stairs. Fortunately, there were a large number of murals around them. In the murals, whether it was the characters or the scenery, they were all 'live'. When they encountered enthusiastic portraits, they could chat with the students.
After a long time, everyone finally climbed to the top floor. After walking through a long corridor, they arrived in front of a 'fat lady portrait'...
