The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 8 Sorting Ceremony
"Hannah Abbott!" Professor McGonagall called out the first name.

Sure enough, this is the iron-clad Hannah Abbott mentioned in various fan fictions in the previous life, Ryan complained in his heart.But sorting by the first letter of the surname should indeed be her first branch.

I saw little girls with flushed cheeks and two golden braids staggering out of the queue and putting on the sorting hat.

Ryan, he thought that at the end of the story, Hannah Abbott became the owner of the Leaky Cauldron and married Neville Longbottom, and then look at this little girl who is a bit rash.An excitement to participate in history arises spontaneously from the bottom of my heart.

Hannah sat down on the stool, and after a while, the Sorting Hat yelled, "Hufflepuff—!"

The people at the table on the right applauded Hannah and welcomed her to their table, and the ghost of the fat monk at the long table waved happily to her.

"Susan Burns."

"Hufflepuff—!" Susan quickly ran to Hannah and sat down.

The sorting continued, and Ryan found that every time the hat pronounced a name, it would change its tone.It seems that the daily life of a hat should be very monotonous, what a poor hat.

Before Ryan could read his name, he began to guess which college he would be assigned to.

Certainly not for Slytherin because of blood.As for Ravenclaw, Ryan, who is a scumbag, said that people probably look down on him.So the possible houses are Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.

The atmosphere of these two colleges is quite good, but after seeing Hermione being assigned to Gryffindor, Ryan began to lean towards Gryffindor in his heart.After all, it is better to have an acquaintance who is a super academic than not to know anyone at all.

Finally, when Neville Longbottom returned the hat to Professor McGonagall, Ryan's name was pronounced by Professor McGonagall.

So he put on the hat, which probably hasn't been washed since the school was founded in AD 993.

Communicating with hats is a very novel thing, even if Ryan has experienced two lifetimes, he has never encountered such a thing before.

After the hat was put on his head, Ryan heard a subtle voice saying: "Although I think your thoughts are a bit impolite, thank you for your concern, but the life of the old hat is not as boring as you imagined. I If I can feel your kindness and courage, then I will make a decision."

Before Ryan could react, the small voice turned into a loud shout: "Gryffindor."

Lane took off his hat and put his respectful hands on the stool, although the hat was dirty and torn and covered with patches.But he represents Hogwarts more than this magnificent castle, because the wisdom injected by the Big Four makes it a representative of the spirit of Hogwarts.

After bowing to the professors, Ryan walked to the long Gryffindor table and sat next to Neville.

After a while, Harry Potter was assigned to Gryffindor as in the original text, and everyone at the table stood up and applauded.

When Professor McGonagall came back from placing the Sorting Hat, Dumbledore stood up from the big golden chair in the center of the teacher's seat.He looked at the students with a smile on his face, and stretched out his arms to them. Nothing seemed to make him happier than seeing the students gathered together. "Welcome!" he said. "Welcome to Hogwarts to start a new school year! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. That is: Idiot! Sniff! Scum! Twist! Thank you all!"

He sat down again.Everyone applauds and cheers.Ryan looked at Hermione on the opposite side and asked, "What does the headmaster mean?" Hermione replied a little confused: "I haven't seen it in the book, it may be some special welcome words in the magic world." .”

Neville interrupted them at this moment: "Don't think about that for now. Let's eat quickly. Don't you feel hungry?"

Ryan saw that the tableware, which was empty just now, was filled with all kinds of food. According to his usual dinner habits, he took some boiled potatoes, pea sprouts and tomato sauce with chicken and ate it.Even after living in the UK for ten years, Ryan is still not used to eating a lot of meat at night. Fortunately, at home, his adoptive father is also Chinese, and the food at home has some Chinese style.

When everyone has eaten almost, the rest of the food disappeared from the dinner plate in one go.The plates and forks are as clean as ever.After a while, the pudding came up, and there were all kinds of ice cream in all flavors.

With the help of sweets, everyone chatted smoothly. Ryan and Hermione asked the prefect Percy some academic questions. This lively atmosphere was maintained until the dessert disappeared.

With the disappearance of the last dessert, all kinds of tableware also disappeared, and the table became clean as if it had just been set.

The dining room was quiet again, and Professor Dumbledore stood up again: "Everyone, I think everyone is full. Then, I would like to make a few notes to you.

First of all, first-year freshmen, please note that students are not allowed to enter the woods on campus. Some of our old-school students should also remember this well.

Dumbledore's shining eyes flicked in the direction of the Weasley twins.

Secondly, Mr. Filch, the administrator, asked me to remind everyone not to cast magic in the hallway between classes.

"The review of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of this term. Anyone who is interested in participating in the house team should contact Mrs. Hooch.

Finally, I must tell everyone that those who do not want to suffer accidents and die in pain, please do not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor. "

Hearing this sentence, a few freshmen laughed, but most of them remained silent.Because most of the students know that Dumbledore, as the headmaster, never lies about safety.

Ryan knew that this was the level of the Philosopher's Stone at the end of the semester.But this thing has nothing to do with him. After all, these things are prepared for Harry and Voldemort, so I, an outsider, try not to get involved.

Although the Sorcerer's Stone is very precious, taking it to the Wanjie Grocery Store to meet customers who need it can definitely exchange a lot of good things.But thinking that Dumbledore had been staring at that thing, Ryan gave up a bold idea. After all, he didn't want to be regarded as an enemy by the most powerful white wizard.

Dumbledore paused for everyone to digest the news just now, and then said loudly: "Okay, everyone, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Almost all the teachers' expressions froze.

Dumbledore flicked his wand lightly, and a long golden ribbon flew out of the wand, twisting and coiling lines of text like a snake above the high dining table.

"Each one chooses his own tune," said Dumbledore. "Get ready, sing!"

Ryan felt a little embarrassed, but still followed the tone in the movie tidbits he had seen.Sing the whole song.

Hogwarts Commencement was officially over when Dumbledore announced that it was bedtime.
