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

Because of Dumbledore's words, and given his status and reputation, the matter concerning Lin Yu was forcefully suppressed by him alone.

Professor McGonagall, meanwhile, could only continue the Sorting Ceremony, feeling utterly exhausted.

The reason she felt mentally exhausted was that she was not only the vice principal, but also the professor of Transfiguration and the head of Gryffindor.

Unfortunately, Lin Yu's sentence was changed... and he was assigned to Gryffindor.

Dumbledore, you old geezer, you really love making things worse!

In the end, she was the one who had the most trouble?

Professor McGonagall, barely suppressing the urge to roll her eyes, called out, "Harry Potter."

"Harry Potter?" "Is it that Harry Potter?" "Could I have misheard?" "That Harry Potter is in school this year?"

Immediately, due to Harry Potter's fame, the hall was abuzz with discussion.

Even Dumbledore composed himself and looked at Harry Potter intently.

Everyone forgot about the unpleasant incident that had just occurred (of course, for the little lions (Gryffindor) who love a good show, it might be quite enjoyable?), and all looked at Harry.

Harry was already nervous, and now he carefully walked to the chair, picked up his hat, and sat down.

After Harry put on the Sorting Hat, it fell into deep thought once again.

The Sorting Hat couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, another exceptionally talented young wizard! There are just so many promising talents this year. I can sense that you're not a bad person at heart, and you're very intelligent, brave, and have a strong desire to prove yourself. Where should I assign you?"

Harry recalled what had just happened and muttered, "No Slytherin, no Slytherin, absolutely no Slytherin."

Ron had been badmouthing Slytherin to Harry, and having witnessed Lin Yu's conflict with Slytherin, he naturally didn't want to go there.

Then the Sorting Hat announced loudly, "Then Gryffindor!"

Once again, enthusiastic applause erupted from the Gryffindor seats.

Even Dumbledore couldn't help but applaud.

It turns out that Dumbledore was actually from Gryffindor.

How could I not be happy to see Harry come to Gryffindor?

By the time Ron arrived, it was almost the very end.

As for Ron, unsurprisingly, as a Weasley, he is also a Gryffindor.

The Gryffindor seats were instantly filled with excitement. Some were shouting that they had Harry Potter, and Percy Weasley, the prefect, was excitedly yelling, "Ron is my brother. Well done, Ron!"

Percy gives off a very rigid impression, but he gets very excited when he's with his family.

The twins, on the other hand, were not as excited.

Ron, however, couldn't help but complain to his two older brothers: "Fred, you made the Sorting Ceremony sound so serious. I thought we were going to fight trolls."

Fred and George laughed mischievously; they loved playing pranks, but they only teased their own family members, which was also a form of familial interaction.

Once the Sorting Ceremony was completely over, Professor McGonagall left with the Sorting Hat and chair.

Meanwhile, the first-year students took their places in their respective colleges, quietly waiting for the banquet to begin.

During this time, Hermione even pulled the older students next to her aside and started discussing questions from the textbook?

This made Ron roll his eyes repeatedly.

After a while, probably after Professor McGonagall returned to her seat above.

Dumbledore stood up and tapped his wine glass with a spoon, drawing everyone's attention.

"First of all, welcome to Hogwarts," Dumbledore said. "However, before the feast begins, there are a few things to note. Students are strictly prohibited from entering the Forbidden Forest near the castle, especially those who are older."

Dumbledore seemed to glance in their direction, especially at a certain pair of twins.

George and Fred both shrugged.

"In addition," Dumbledore continued, "Mr. Filch also asked me to remind everyone not to cast spells in the hallways during breaks. There is another forbidden area this year, and that is the hallway on the right side of the fourth floor. Finally, I must say, you idiots, crybabies, scumbags, and twisters. Now I declare the banquet open."

Harry instinctively looked at Dumbledore, only to find that the other was also looking at him and even winking at him playfully.

Playful?

Good heavens, how could he think that an old man who is over 110 years old would make such a playful gesture?

Dumbledore was born in 1881, and it is now 1991, so the old man is 110 years old.

He lived a very long life.

Harry whispered to Lin Yu and the others, "I always felt like he was a little crazy?"

"Crazy? Good heavens, Harry, how could you think that? That's Dumbledore!" Percy exclaimed upon hearing Harry's voice. "He's Dumbledore, a genius, and the greatest wizard of modern times. By the way, would you like some potatoes?"

While Harry was distracted, various delicious dishes appeared on the plate that should have been empty on the table.

The menu includes roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding, pea shoots, carrots, gravy, and ketchup.

For some reason, there were even hard mints.

Does this count as a main course or a proper meal?

The children exclaimed and cheered, and since the banquet had been announced to have begun, they didn't hold back.

After all, having traveled by train for almost a day, many people were already starving.

Lin Yu was the only one who curled his lip. Logically speaking, the first dinner of the new semester should be the most lavish, but he really didn't think this was really lavish.

Let alone comparing it to the Manchu Han Imperial Feast, this probably can't even compare to a New Year's Eve dinner in many modern families.

Moreover, there are too many foods that are too similar.

For example, pork chops, lamb chops, and steaks, along with ketchup, are served on separate plates? Is that even considered a dish? Like that hard mint?

It feels like a lot of things are just there to make up the numbers.

Also, the carrots were just boiled in water? Just boiled carrots in plain water?

And the potatoes, which are simply boiled in water, were also served.

What if you just stew beef with potatoes or stew carrots?

Honestly, even though Lin Yu has been in this world for quite some time now, he still hasn't fully adapted to British cuisine.

Fortunately, at least the food was relatively normal, and there weren't any truly bizarre dishes like those from Stargazing.

Lin Yu also noticed that some of the young wizards had already started to get their hands dirty, getting their hands covered in oil from handling pork chops and steaks.

Ron even reached out and laboriously tore a chicken leg off the roast chicken, which made Hermione look disgusted.

Lin Yu sighed silently, took out his wand, and asked Hermione beside him, "Could I borrow your wand?"

Hermione, puzzled, took out her wand and handed it to him. Then she was shocked to see Lin Yu struggling to hold the two wands and using them as chopsticks to pick up some food and put it in his mouth.

Compared to those little wizards who ate meat with their hands, he was practically a gentleman.

Only Hermione's eye twitched; her wand was no longer clean, and from now on, every time she used it, she would probably smell the aroma of food.
