The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 149 The Iron Hannah

Thestrals pulled a wagon through two imposing wrought-iron gates flanked by stone pillars topped by winged boars.Passing through the gate, the carriage accelerated on the long uphill driveway leading to the castle. The turrets and towers were getting closer and closer to Ada and the others.

Near the stone steps leading to the castle, the carriage wobbled to a stop, and Ada was the first to jump out when she opened the door. The smell of straw in the carriage was okay, but the musty smell was really bad.

Ada and his party followed the crowd up the stone steps, through the majestic oak gate, and through the magnificent marble staircase before turning into the auditorium.

Countless candles floated in the air under the enchanted ceiling, and the students of the four colleges were talking about it, mainly with two themes.One is that Gryffindor clashed with Slytherin again, and the main force is still Ada, but this time it is Ada who can "crunch a strong man to death with bare hands".

Another topic is Harry Potter, who is enrolled today. Everyone is very concerned about which college the savior will be assigned to, and it is best to be assigned to his own college.

Ada and the others also discussed this matter in the car. Everyone felt that Slytherin had no chance at all, after all, the reputation was not good.

In the eyes of a few people, there were no good people in Slytherin. This was the accumulated prejudice of several lifetimes. How could it be possible for Harry Potter, who defeated Voldemort, to go to a place where dark wizards gather?
The possibility of Ravenclaw among the remaining three colleges is slightly smaller. Everyone has no prejudice against this college. The main reason is that Ravenclaw's threshold is too high. If the hard standard cannot be met, it will not be a full of wisdom Ravenclaw's.

Of course, Ada put a question mark on the selection criteria of this college. Professor McGonagall is very smart, but she is Gryffindor and the dean.Quirinus Quirrell was a Ravenclaw graduate, but Ada didn't find any wisdom in him.

Gryffindor and Hufflepuff have similar opportunities, but several people are more optimistic about Gryffindor. Without him, Dumbledore, the current headmaster of Hogwarts, graduated from Gryffindor.

Ada and the others were chatting about this year's freshmen, but Professor McGonagall came over at this moment, she stood behind Ada and said, "Ada, okay, you are really getting better and better, and you are in the car Bullying freshmen."

Did it spread so fast?It was spread to Professor McGonagall so quickly, does that mean that Snape also knew about it?
Ada felt a little wronged, but there were Flint and a few senior students on the opposite side. She was just a lonely third grader.

"Professor, I can explain this matter..." Ada felt that Professor McGonagall called her by her nickname, which meant that there was still time for this matter, and she could struggle a bit.

"I'm going to pick up the new students now, so I don't have time to listen to your sophistry. The matter is on the train, so I won't deduct points." Professor McGonagall said, "But the death penalty is inevitable, and the death penalty is inevitable. Wednesday night at seven o'clock , my office, don't be late."

After speaking, Professor McGonagall left directly, but Ida didn't look angry at Professor McGonagall, it was more like simply giving Ada a punishment.

Thinking of something, Ada turned her head to look at the teacher's seat, and then she saw that Snape was also looking at her, but Snape's expression was really indescribable.

Ada felt that this year was probably the end of her life, and she would not be able to take Potions classes well. If Snape's expression hadn't been suppressed, Ida would have changed her surname to Testri.

"Do you think you are the fastest student ever to get confinement?" Fred asked, the smirk on his face could actually be a little more obvious.

"No one should catch up to this record, and it will be difficult for us to break it!" George said, patting Ada on the shoulder, as if Ada had broken some dusty world record.

"Am I recorded in the annals of history?" Ada laughed at herself.

"When "Hogwarts, A Piece of School History" is revised again, you will definitely have a piece of it." Fred said seriously.

"Esmeralda Drizzt was locked up by the school's vice-principal, McGonagall, before the opening dinner in 1991 even started!" George used the voice of the broadcaster.

After a while, Ada and the twins each put on their black pointed hats, and the auditorium became a sea of ​​pointed black hats.It was also at this time that the door of the auditorium opened and everyone fell silent. Professor McGonagall led a long row of freshmen to the top of the auditorium.

The first-year freshmen stood in a row in front, not only the students from various colleges were looking at the freshmen, but also the professors on the teacher's bench were also looking at them. Ada looked at Snape, and she noticed the old bat's expression becomes more complicated.

Professor McGonagall put down a four-corner stool, and put the shabby old Sorting Hat on the stool.Then, the hat began to twist, opened a gap and began to sing the lyrics he had been making up for a year.

Ada didn't listen to what the Sorting Hat sang, she kept staring at Snape.The usual Snape rarely showed emotion, he hid everything about himself very well, and it was the first time Ada saw him express so much.

Like a nesting doll, Ada was staring at Snape, Snape was staring at Harry, and Harry's gaze was on the Gryffindor table.Ada wanted to know who Snape was looking at, Harry wanted to go to Gryffindor, no one knew what Snape was thinking.

After the song was sung, the audience burst into applause. Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, unfolded the parchment in his hand, and said, "Whoever I call by name, put on a hat, sit on a stool, and wait for the sorting." .”

"Hannah Abbott!" A ruddy little girl with two golden braids came out.After a moment's pause, the Sorting Hat shouted, "Hufflepuff!"

"Susan Bones!" Stepped up another little girl, with the same rosy face and long golden braids that fell down her back.Ada thought that she should be the Susan mentioned by Amelia Bones who asked her last time at St. Mungo's.

The Sorting Hat sorted Susan into Hufflepuff and Terry Boot into Ravenclaw.If it was in previous years, everyone might not pay so much attention to the sorting ceremony, but this year is different, the main event has not yet begun!

Students have always been assigned to the other three colleges, no matter which college cheers, Fred and George beside Ada will boo.When Lavender Brown was sorted into Gryffindor, the twins cheered more enthusiastically than anyone else.

"Hermione Granger!"

The brown-haired girl on the train ran to the stool and hastily put the hat on her head.It was at this point in the sorting ceremony that the Sorting Hat had a hard time making a decision for the first time. The girl named Hermione sat for a while before the Sorting Hat sorted her into Gryffindor.

The Sorting Hat soon encountered the next problem. This problem was called Neville Longbottom. The hat took longer than Hermione. Finally, the Sorting Hat decided to assign the round-faced crying bag to Gryffindor .

The sorting ceremony was still going on, and each college got its own students.Gryffindor took an Indian girl named Parvati Patil under her command. She is very beautiful, and her appearance is one of the best among the freshmen.

As time went by, everyone gradually became anxious. Why are you waiting so earnestly for the results of the sorting?Naturally, it was for Harry Potter, but the protagonist has not appeared for a long time. This is Hogwarts. If you change the place, everyone should shout for a refund.

"Harry Potter!"

As soon as Professor McGonagall's voice fell, there was a buzz of discussion in the auditorium. The boy who had been waiting for ten years in the entire magic world was finally going to be sorted. This was an exciting moment.

"Potter, is she calling Harry Potter?"

"It would be great if Potter could be assigned to our house!"

"If only I could have Potter!"

Words like this kept coming and going in the auditorium, but the moment Harry Potter put on the sorting hat, the auditorium instantly became quiet, and a needle could be heard.

It is not only the students who are concerned about the results of the classification, but also the professors.The little Professor Flitwick was muttering something in a low voice, and the amiable Professor Sprout prayed to Merlin with his palms folded.

Snape, the dean of Slytherin, still looked at Harry with a complicated expression. Ida really has no words to describe this expression. Ida never knew that human expressions can be so complicated!
Expectation, disgust, nostalgia, heartache... In short, all kinds of faces and expressions can be found on Snape's face. Ada is afraid that Snape's face will convulse tomorrow morning.

"Gryffindor!" The Sorting Hat called out the name of the house Harry was going to after thinking for a long time.

The most enthusiastic cheers erupted from the long silent auditorium.The cheers belonged to Gryffindor, clapping, slapping the table, stamping their feet, the little lions tried everything to make noise, they won, they had Harry Potter!
The twins were yelling, "We've got Potter! We've got Potter."

Ada applauded and observed the expressions of the four deans. Professor McGonagall just smiled, the same as every freshman after sorting, but Ada knew that Professor McGonagall must be full of joy now.

Both Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout were a little disappointed, but they both clapped sincerely and sent Harry their blessings.Only Snape was different, his eyes followed Harry Potter all the time, and his clapping hands were perfunctory.

In the end, there were three people left. Lisa Dupin became a new student of Ravenclaw. Ron, who was so nervous and blue, was assigned to Gryffindor like his brothers. The last student was Blaise Zabini, he was sorted into Slytherin.

The sorting ceremony was officially over, and Gryffindor became the biggest winner. Not only did the little lions have Harry Potter, the boy who survived the catastrophe, but they also successfully collected six Weasleys, just short of the last Ginny. Collected.
