Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 19 There is a spy among us

   Didn't keep the freshmen waiting long, and Professor McGonagall came back. She asked the freshmen to line up in a single line, and then led everyone into the auditorium.

  The auditorium of the college is very large, with four long tables full of students. Hundreds of candles floated above the heads of the crowd, lighting up the entire auditorium.

  The candle flame is also some kind of magical fire, otherwise the picture of the candles dripping wax on the top of the head would not be too beautiful.

  By the time Albert had all sorts of weird thoughts in his head, the team had already come to a stool with a dirty and worn-out hat on it.

   It is said that this is Gryffindor's hat.

   "I really hope they can wash the Sorting Hat properly." Albert was a bit disgusted with the Sorting Hat, because it was too dirty, maybe it had been left for a thousand years, maybe no one had cleaned that hat at all.

   I really can't stand it.

  By the time Albert came back to his senses, the Sorting Hat had already ended its usual opening song amid the applause of everyone.

  Professor McGonagall took a roll of parchment and began to name and sort the schools.

  Of course, Albert was the first to be named. Who made his surname start with a.

   Under the eyes of everyone, Albert stepped forward, sat on the chair, and let Professor McGonagall put the hat on his head.

   "Not going to Slytherin, not going to Slytherin."

  Although he knew that the possibility of going to Slytherin was very small, he still read a few words softly to prevent himself from accidentally falling into the pit.

   "Well, it's difficult. It can be seen that he is very courageous, not bad-hearted, talented, and not lacking in wisdom." The Sorting Hat asked softly, "Besides Slytherin, where do you want to go?"

   Albert was speechless for a moment. The Sorting Hat meant that he was suitable for any house except Slytherin?

   "Oh, I think you've made your 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 two other colleges, he would probably go to another college.

   The Sorting Hat finally helped him make the choice.

   After all, Albert will stay in the academy for another seven years. He doesn't want to be the original Hermione. He doesn't have a single friend. How tragic that would be.

   Of course, there are also night tours, and twins are undoubtedly the best night tour partners.

   After the Sorting Hat called out Gryffindor, cheers erupted from the table farthest left.

  However, the twins in the team and Lee Jordan couldn't help but talk aloud. They never thought that Albert would be assigned to Gryffindor.

  What about Ravenclaw?

   After Professor McGonagall took the hat, Albert walked in the direction of the cheers. The front row of the long table was vacated, apparently for freshmen.

   When Albert passed by, several people stood up and shook hands with him. The other party still had a badge on his chest. He was probably a prefect or the president of the student union.

  He shook hands with several people one by one, and nodded in response with a smile.

The sorting ceremony was still going on. After the Sorting Hat called out Slytherin, Albert turned his attention back to the Sorting Hat. When Professor McGonagall called out Cedric Diggory, he looked at the novel curiously. The cannon fodder in the movie.

  The other party is still a handsome guy, no wonder he is called a butter boy, but I don’t know if the other party will become a tragedy. After all, this time, there is this little butterfly fanning the flames.

As expected, the Weasley twins were also sorted into Gryffindor. A red-haired man was very happy about this and waved at the twins. Albert took a closer look. It should be the legendary Perry. Sy Weasley.

By the way, the Weasley twins were at the bottom of the list. After they were sorted into Gryffindor, the sorting ceremony ended. Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment and left with the sorting hat, as well as the bench. Disappeared.

   "Wow! We thought you would be assigned to Ravenclaw." Both the twins and Li Jordan stared at Albert with exaggerated expressions, as if they were looking at some rare animal.

   This one was not assigned to Ravenclaw, did the sorting hat break?

   "Strange?" Albert didn't take it seriously, "By the way, I just discovered a secret about the sorting hat."

   "What secret?" Li Qiaodan asked curiously.

   "It's not a secret if you say it." Albert didn't intend to tell them, "That's why I was assigned to Gryffindor."

   Albert's eyes swept across the faces of the people, and he couldn't help shaking his head, "I said it so clearly, but no one guessed it, should I say that I really deserve to be Gryffindor?"

  However, everyone no longer paid attention to this so-called secret. After the separation, it was Dumbledore's turn to give a speech, and then it was time to open his stomach and eat 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 semester has begun! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. Then That is: "Idiot, sneeze, trash, wring. thank you all!"

   Really just a few words.

  Gap, this is the gap!

  Compared to those guys who talk a lot of nonsense, Dumbledore understands the minds of freshmen and knows that everyone has no patience to listen to nonsense.

   "Do you know what those words mean?" Albert asked the prefect beside him.

  The prefect who was questioned by Albert froze, obviously not knowing how to answer the question.

  At this moment, the prefect suddenly felt that what the Weasley just said was right, this guy should go to Ravenclaw instead of staying in Gryffindor.

   "It seems that no one knows this, so I can only ask him himself?" Albert murmured. These few words are the unsolved mysteries in the Harry Potter novels.

  The corners of the mouths of the people next to him twitched, and they didn't know what to say. Is this person going to ask Dumbledore directly?

   Ravenclaw students are not as curious as you!

   This is definitely an eagle hiding among the lions as an undercover agent.

  Hey, hurry up and throw this guy on the next table!

   Ignoring the strange gazes of other people, Albert fell into deep thought.

  In my previous life, there were several explanations for these words on the Internet:

   It is rumored that the Latin meaning of those words is: May Merlin bless you.

  Of course, some people think that these are the different attitudes towards people of the four colleges.

  Ravenclaw students think that anyone who does not enter Ravenclaw is an idiot.

  Gryffindor students think others are less brave than they are.

  Slytherin students consider half-bloods or mudbloods to be useless scraps.

  Hufflepuff students expect students from other houses to adjust their behavior.

   As for what the truth is, Albert doesn't know either. 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 drew out his wand and cast magic on the top of his head. The lightning, thunder and thunder disappeared, as did the torrential rain, and the top of everyone's head turned into a starry night sky again.

   "Okay, the banquet begins." Dumbledore raised the spoon, tapped the cup, and announced the start of the banquet. The plates on the table were filled with food in an instant as if by magic.
