Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 50: 50: Belated Sorting!

In front of the auditorium.

The professors sat upright in the teaching seats.

Dumbledore, dressed in a purple robe, sat in the middle seat. His silver-white hair and beard were carefully groomed, and his eyes behind his half-moon glasses looked gently at the students.

Their eyes met.

Ian saw Dumbledore wink at him.

“I love this time of year the most.”

Filius Flitwick, who is as tall as a dwarf, is the current head of Ravenclaw College. His short stature does not affect his magical attainments which far exceed most people.

"What energetic children! I wonder how many of them will enter our college."

Pomona Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff House, looked like a housewife. She was looking at the freshmen entering the hall with an expectant smile.

"The Sorting Hat will choose for them."

As for Gryffindor's head of house, Minerva McGonagall, she had the most serious expression among all the professors, and her lips, which were always pursed, were filled with the severity of a dean of studies.

of course.

Only those who know this dean well know that behind her strictness is a delicate and gentle heart, and her reputation among students far exceeds that of the dean of Slytherin College who is leading the team at this time.

Severus Snape.

"Everyone, line up in the middle."

He pointed at the empty space in the middle and spoke out a strong command, which had already left an overly strong impression in the minds of many students.

Everyone did as they were told and walked over.

"Thank you for your help, Professor Snape."

Professor McGonagall waited for Snape to sit down at the teacher's seat, then stood up and walked to the dirty Sorting Hat. At this time, almost all the students were staring at her nervously.

"Will you fight the trolls?"

"I heard that we need to catch a bird snake."

"Nonsense, my dad told me that the test in school is to make us stay in the same room with the Veela."

……

Without Snape's restraint.

The little wizards began to whisper to each other.

In the magnificent palace.

Four long tables representing four different colleges were also filled with senior students. The magic flames of the candles suspended under the ceiling above their heads were burning fiercely.

Aurora kept looking up at the rooftops.

She seemed no longer as nervous as before after seeing the Sorting Hat.

"What are you looking at?"

Ian was also feeling quite excited.

"Why is there no wax dripping?"

The German girl spoke in a low voice with a hint of regret.

"Maybe they forgot to add some realistic effects when they cast the magic." Ian was also a little surprised that the candle above his head seemed to never change.

"Makes sense."

Aurora nodded.

"It's okay. Once I learn alchemy, I will help them fix this small flaw." Ian said eagerly. In his suitcase, there was teacher Mara's new homework.

"Have you been this bad since you were a child?"

Aurora's tone was a little surprised.

"That's a good question."

Ian actually seemed to start recalling and thinking, which made Aurora couldn't help but widen her eyes and look at him with disbelief in her eyes.

"quiet!"

Just now.

Professor McGonagall's booming voice rang out.

The Sorting Hat placed on the stool twisted at the right moment, revealing its narrow mouth and eyes, and amid the exclamations of the little wizards, it began to sing its soulful song that probably came from Gryffindor.

In the ancient halls of Hogwarts,
I will chant a new hymn.

Wisdom and courage will meet here.

Every heart will find its direction for the future.

Oh, young heart, full of endless dreams,

It is the flame of Gryffindor, burning with courage and hope.

Or is it the profundity of Slytherin, hiding its wisdom and brilliance?
Or the loyalty of a Hufflepuff, warm as the sun,

Under the eagle wings of Ravenclaw, wisdom soars? Listen to me, feel my trembling, I am the Sorting Hat that never makes mistakes!

If you have justice in your heart, and are not afraid of difficulties and obstacles,
The flame of Gryffindor shall burn bright for you;

If you are sharp-minded and seek the light of truth,
The starry sky of Ravenclaw is waiting for you to explore.

Have the desire for love, cherish friendship like a treasure,
Hufflepuff's fields will surely satisfy your imagination.

If you hide your true self and want to pursue your ambitions,

The waters of Slytherin's lake will surely reflect your glory.

No matter where you choose, young heart, do not hesitate.
Let me lead you to the destined direction!

……

The singing is very loud.

Ok.

Only Hong Liang was left.

Ian believed that the singing of the Sorting Hat, to some extent, also reflected the artistic spirit of Gryffindor himself. God knew why Dumbledore was so intoxicated by it.

"Clap clap clap!"

There were also many students applauding at the scene.

And when the applause faded.

Professor McGonagall was also holding a roll of parchment. She stood next to the Sorting Hat and began to prepare for Cat Girl's roll call.

"Grace Allison!"

The first name came out of Professor McGonagall's mouth.

Ian looked over.

I saw.

A girl with some freckles on her face looked confused. After being gently pushed a few times by the little wizard next to her, she ran to Professor McGonagall in a panic.

"how should I do?"

The girl was a little overwhelmed.

"Just sit on the stool."

Professor McGonagall explained in a gentle tone.

"Hufflepuff!"

When the Sorting Hat was put on the girl's head, a moment later, accompanied by the Sorting Hat's loud shout, everyone understood what the Sorting Ceremony was all about.

Many little wizards breathed a sigh of relief.

Some of the little wizards seemed a little unhappy.

among them.

The little wizard who had previously shouted that he would stay in the same room with the Veela looked the most disappointed.

"Meen Agrafus!"

Another little wizard ran onto the stage.

After a while.

The boy was sorted into Gryffindor. One by one, the little wizards were named and walked to their respective houses under the shouting of the Sorting Hat.

"Aurora... Grindelwald!"

When Professor McGonagall called out the name.

time.

The auditorium, which was originally noisy with various cheers and celebratory sounds, suddenly became quiet - some people were shocked, while others had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Those confused little wizards whispered questions to the people around them, and after a moment their faces turned pale and terrified.

"What!?"

Daphne, who was originally communicating with an acquaintance, should be the palest among the little wizards. She saw with horror that the German girl next to Ian walked up calmly.

at this time.

Daphne could no longer hear any other sounds from the surroundings. She could only feel her brain buzzing. The surroundings that had been so clear in her eyes seemed to be becoming blurry.

"I'm doomed!"

Recalling her previous sarcasm on the boat, although Daphne felt dizzy, she found that her mind became clearer.

"Our whole family is ruined!"

Yes.

The thinking is really clear.
