Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

It's already dark, so there's nothing to worry about.

Moreover, it's quite troublesome to re-wrap it.

Following the flow of people, Lin Yu and Ron got off the car.

Soon he spotted a figure standing out from the crowd on the platform where the train was stopped.

Hey, Hagrid!

Upon seeing an acquaintance, Harry Potter greeted him happily.

"Oh, Harry, I'm so glad to see you."

Hagrid smiled and winked at him, his tone gentle.

"Come on, come on, if you want to fight, follow me. Watch your step."

After receiving the person, Hagrid led the group of freshmen along a small path.

After walking for a while, we arrived at a lake.

Ron Hermione and the others boarded a boat, which swayed gently on the lake as it sailed toward the magnificent fortress in the distance.

After disembarking, we continued on our way.

Harry Potter felt that he had never seen so many breathtaking scenes in the first ten years of his life.

The classic and magnificent castle is just like something out of a fairy tale.

Everything was so breathtaking that it left him speechless.

Especially after entering the banquet hall, the scene inside made Harry Potter pause for a moment in surprise.

Even Lin Yu in his mind couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw this scene.

Putting everything else aside, just look at the scene inside: the long table laden with delicious food, the bright crystal chandelier, and the ghosts that occasionally float overhead.

Let alone a child, even an adult would be deeply shocked by it.

'Seeing it in person is definitely more interesting than watching a movie.'

Lin Yu sighed, and then he heard Harry Potter speak.

'Master, are you like those ghosts?'

Hearing his apprentice's words, Lin Yu said irritably.

'idiot.'

'You're comparing your master to these things?'

Harry Potter, hearing Lin Yu's words, gave an awkward smile. "No, Master, that's not what I meant."

'But the way you acted last time was very similar.'

'Resemblance doesn't mean they're the same. What kind of aura or presence do you sense in these ghosts?'

Harry Potter paused, staring intently at the ghost above him, trying to sense it carefully.

He clearly remembered the majestic and powerful aura emanating from Jian Donglin when they first met, an aura he would never forget.

And these ghosts now

After sensing for a while without gaining anything, Harry Potter shook his head.

'I didn't sense anything, Master.'

That's it.

Lin Yu shrugged, "I didn't feel anything. You're confusing Master's stuff with all this."

'I was wrong.'

Harry Potter knew Lin Yu's personality, so he sincerely admitted his mistake without saying a word.

The two masters chatted for a while, and then the opening ceremony officially began with Dumbledore's appearance on the stage.

Harry Potter, enjoying the delicious food on the table and being watched by many eyes, kept glancing at the white-bearded old man on the stage.

He received his card while eating Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans on the train, and now he's meeting him in person.

This is the person who sent himself an acceptance letter to Hogwarts.

Nothing had changed before the opening ceremony; it was exactly as Lin Yu remembered it.

The change occurred when the Sorting Hat process began.

When Harry Potter's name was called and it was his turn to go up on stage and sit under that dirty hat, the usually talkative Sorting Hat suddenly stopped.

The Sorting Hat possesses the ability to read minds, able to instantly discern the abilities and thoughts of those wearing the hat.

And it was precisely because of this that, while he was trying to understand Harry Potter, Lin Yu, who was quite interested in the Sorting Hat, made a slight move.

Lin Yu originally just wanted to take this opportunity to study this little gadget.

After all, apart from the opening ceremony, the Sorting Hat is usually stored away in the principal's office at other times.

It's like we can't even make contact.

However, just as Lin Yu extended a wisp of his spiritual power, the Sorting Hat also sensed that aura of power, as deep and unfathomable as a hell, capable of destroying the world.

It was a terrifying being that was high above, inviolable, and brooked no disrespect.

The Sorting Hat sensed its presence and was trembling.

Lin Yu's interest in this guy grew even stronger.

In this magical world, there are many strange and wonderful magical creatures.

Often, simply injecting one's own thoughts can transform something into something that resembles a living being.

For example, those animated portraits, or the Sorting Hat that embodies the ideas of the four founders.

Lin Yu observed and studied the consciousness within the Sorting Hat without restraint, wanting to understand its composition and how it was born.

If this aspect could be mastered, then the creation of artifact spirits might be possible much earlier in the crafting of magical artifacts.

He felt the pressure emanating from Lin Yu, and the gaze that seemed to see right through him.

The Sorting Hat was so nervous he almost cried.

Although it didn't speak, everyone could tell from its slightly trembling body that the Sorting Hat seemed to be acting a little strange.

Harry Potter was completely bewildered, having no idea what the trembling hat on his head was doing.

Why is it its turn, unlike the others?

Didn't everyone else immediately identify the academy the moment they touched their heads?

"Master, is this hat damaged?"

Harry Potter said, somewhat puzzled.

"No, it's just that I was somewhat interested in him, so I did some research on him."

Lin Yu spoke casually, but as he listened to the conversation between Lin Yu and Harry Potter, the Sorting Hat was on the verge of tears.

What do you mean by "doing some research"? The pressure alone is enough to make people feel like they're about to die.

"But Master, there are so many people watching me down there, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Even Harry Potter was finding it hard to handle being surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of onlookers.

"It seems our Sorting Hat has run into a little problem."

Seeing that the Sorting Hat didn't react for a while, Dumbledore, sitting in the main seat, smiled kindly and came to Harry Potter's rescue.

Just then, the Sorting Hat suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Potter, which house would you like to attend?"

Upon hearing this, the once noisy and clamorous hall suddenly fell silent.

The students below the stage and the teachers on the stage all looked at Harry Potter in surprise.

Sorting cap, sorting cap.

As the name suggests.

He was in charge of assigning students to different colleges.

When did the Sorting Hat become so agreeable, even going so far as to ask students for their wishes?

And his tone was so humble, so cautious.

It was as if we had encountered something extraordinary.

After a brief silence, everyone started talking amongst themselves, wondering what was going on.

Harry Potter knew the reason for all this. After asking Lin Yu and learning that he had no objections, he thought about it.

"I want to go to Gryffindor."

Upon hearing Harry Potter's words, the Sorting Hat immediately shouted without hesitation.

"Gryffindor!"

After saying that, the Sorting Hat breathed a sigh of relief.
