Being at Hogwarts, something's not right with this system.

Just as Lin Yu was stunned by the sudden appearance of more than twenty ghosts, the system murmured regretfully, "If I had known there were so many souls here, I should have given you that thing beforehand. Like the Ten Thousand Souls Banner or something."

Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed, "Wow!"

The system actually has such a good thing?

The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is a "treasure" for the soul.

Once the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is unleashed, no matter what kind of soul you are, you all have to come in and obediently listen to me.

Moreover, there is no such thing as evil cultivation in the magical world. There is no need to hide what this is, the Emperor's Banner. This is the Myriad Souls Banner, so what can you do about it?

If we could bring in some more Dementors, we'd be invincible.

Because it seems that only the Guardian Charm can effectively banish that thing, and even then, it's only a banishment.

But then again, are Dementors considered ghosts?

Lin Yu started having all sorts of wild thoughts because of a single sentence from the system.

Just then, the ghosts seemed to notice the children in the room. One of them, a chubby little monk-like ghost, said, "Is it this time again? You must be this year's new students?"

Seeing his kind demeanor, the children finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded silently.

The ghostly monk continued, "I hope you will be assigned to Hufflepuff after passing the test; I used to study there."

The ghosts then continued to communicate as they passed through the wall and left.

At the same time, you can faintly hear their conversation.

The monk said, "Forgive him. We can try to forgive him one more time."

Another voice said, "We've forgiven him so many times, monk. Haven't we given Pee-Pee enough chances? But he's given us all nasty nicknames. And you know, he's not even a proper ghost."

The children looked at each other in surprise, especially Harry and his friends, who hadn't expected to see ghosts here.

At this moment, Professor McGonagall opened the door again and said to the children, "Alright everyone, the Sorting Ceremony is about to begin. Now you can come with me to meet everyone. Follow me."

Professor McGonagall said this, then turned and walked forward.

The children followed behind her.

Lin Yu had only taken a few steps when he noticed Harry was still standing there, so he couldn't help but turn back and ask, "Are you alright?"

Harry grinned, but it was clear he was forcing it, as if a fierce battle awaited him.

Harry was indeed very anxious because he was thinking that if he couldn't pass the next test, he might be expelled from Hogwarts, and what would he do then?

He had no desire to return to the Dursleys; that would be terribly unpleasant.

Is he going to continue being Dudley's lackey?

Lin Yu finally couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, all I can say is don't overthink it. The so-called Sorting Ceremony is something everyone can pass; it's just assigned according to each person's personality and potential. It's more like a formality. So don't worry, unless you're a Squib, meaning someone who can't use magic, you won't fail."

Harry finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ron exclaimed in surprise, "Fred lied to me? He was playing me for a fool?"

Hermione rolled her eyes: "Next time, you'd better figure things out first."

It made her worry a little, she's so nervous.

Next, the children lined up and followed Professor McGonagall to the dining hall, which was also the main auditorium where the new students were welcomed today.

When the children entered the hall, they were immediately dazzled by its magnificent sight.

They even discovered that it seemed as if there was no roof above them, and they could see twinkling stars.

Furthermore, there are four long tables arranged side by side in the auditorium, with students from the four major colleges sitting on both sides of each table.

It seems that the dining tables differ depending on the college.

Moreover, at the very front of the restaurant, there was another long table, which was where the teachers sat.

Professor McGonagall led the new students through the lobby and straight to the front.

During this time, hundreds of senior students were curiously observing the freshmen, which made some of the freshmen appear somewhat nervous and uneasy.

Lin Yu was actually a little nervous, mainly because the atmosphere of being the center of attention made him very uncomfortable.

At the same time, Lin Yu secretly glanced at Dumbledore in the teachers' seat.

He had already seen Dumbledore's picture cards on the train and naturally recognized the greatest white wizard of modern times.

Besides, Dumbledore is just too recognizable.

Lin Yu thought to himself, "I received an acceptance letter from Hogwarts out of the blue. Will I be found out?"

Actually, he, not Harry, is the one who should be most worried about being expelled.

Fortunately, Lin Yu noticed that Dumbledore's gaze had already fallen on Harry; he must have recognized Harry at a glance.

Lin Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Dumbledore didn't seem inclined to speak, he thought to himself that as long as the Sorting Ceremony went smoothly, Hogwarts would have no reason to expel him.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw Professor McGonagall move a chair over there and then put a patched wizard's hat on the chair.

Surprisingly, the wizard hat even started singing: "You may not think I'm pretty, but don't judge a book by its cover. If you can find a more beautiful hat than me, I'll eat myself."

"You can make your top hats jet black and shiny, and your tall silk hats smooth and crisp, but I am the magic hat used for Hogwarts tests, so naturally I am superior to your hats."

"No thought you have in mind can escape the Magic Hat's keen eyes. Try it on and I'll tell you which college you should be assigned to."

"You may belong to Gryffindor, where courage lies buried deep within, and their boldness, spirit, and generosity make Gryffindor stand out."

"You may belong to Hufflepuff, where the people are honest and loyal, and the students of Hufflepuff are persevering, honest, and unafraid of hard work."

"If you are clever, you might go to the wise old Ravenclaw, where you will always meet your kindred spirits."

"You might get into Slatelin, and you might make some genuine friends here, but those cunning and treacherous people will stop at nothing to achieve their goals."

"Put me on, don't be afraid, don't panic. You're absolutely safe in my hands (even though I don't have a hand), because I'm a thinking magic hat."

This is the Sorting Hat, which introduces the four houses in a singing style.

However, it seems that only Slytherins are disliked by it?

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but whether they're already at Hogwarts or not yet, they don't seem to have a good impression of Slytherin.

Lin Yu looked thoughtful, wondering, "So, should I still pursue the path of sword cultivation?"
