The Magic of Holowarts

Chapter 8

A ghost passed halfway through the wall, poking his head like that, maybe he didn't grasp the angle properly, it was a little low, his head just fell off so suddenly, it didn't fall completely, and the skin was still attached.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, little wizard!"

He actually greeted the new student enthusiastically, and the people around him jumped up in fright, and then more than 20 ghosts rushed out. These milky white and transparent ghosts surrounded the new student, singing weird songs.

A ghostly horse with a rider leaps over the heads of the crowd.

"Damn evil! I'm not afraid of you!"

A brave little wizard jumped out with a wand. If it weren't for his other hand to hold his companion tightly and his legs not to tremble so obviously, the scene of the brave man fighting the ghost would be more perfect. This is definitely a Gryffindor many.

"Eight meters and eight meters! The evil spirits are scattered!"

"Eight meters and eight meters! The evil spirits are scattered!"

"Eight meters and eight meters! The evil spirits are scattered!
"."

There was one who took the lead, and the other little wizards seemed to have reacted, took out their wands and roared, the voices of more than 100 people were quite loud, which attracted all the students and teachers in the auditorium to check.

Seeing the ghost slowly wandering out of the room where the freshmen lived, everyone suddenly realized and burst into laughter.

"Oh~ this year's freshmen are really energetic, aren't they?"

Principal Dumbledore said to Professor McGonagall, who was beside him with a dark face.

Of course, the spell was useless, and the little wizards huddled together when they saw it.

"Damn it, who said this spell works!"

"not me!"

"I have no idea!"

"I heard what others said, and it can't be my fault."

"Are they gone? Can I open my eyes?"

Professor McGonagall walked into the room with a straight face, and everyone fell silent.

"I remember I said just now, keep quiet!"

"But Professor, those evil ghosts are too scary!"

A freshman dared to mutter under his breath.

Professor McGonagall looked at the little quail huddled together and sighed.

"You are safe at Hogwarts, and the ghosts of the school will not harm you. The sorting ceremony is about to begin, and now they are all lined up in a single file, so let me go."

Pass through the luxurious gate and enter the auditorium. The four super long tables are already full of students. Tens of thousands of candles are floating in the air, illuminating the entire auditorium. The sky has been enchanted, and you can directly see the night sky.

The ghosts just now were gathering to discuss the reaction of the little wizards just now. Obviously, this topic is enough for them to talk for a year.

There is a row of tables at the top of the auditorium, where the principal and professors are sitting.

Professor McGonagall made the students stand in a row, and placed a four-legged stool in front of the teacher's bench. On the stool was an old pointed wizard hat, which was very dirty.

"My God! Evil Magic Hat!"

An exclamation came from among the little wizards, causing other little wizards to exclaim!
"Oh~ this year's little wizard is really rude!"

The sorting hat twisted in dissatisfaction, and Professor McGonagall glanced in the direction of the sound, and the little guys immediately shrank their necks, too scared to make a sound.

"George, I love this year's freshmen."

"Fred, I like them too, it's so much fun."

The hat was twisted for a long time. This is the most annoying freshman class it has ever seen, bar none.

It opened a wide gap, like a mouth, and began to sing according to the program. (The number of words is not important, and the song is not important.)
After it finished singing, I bowed to everyone, and the students applauded to show encouragement.

"Whoever name I call now puts on a hat, sits on a stool, and waits for sorting."

Professor McGonagall
"Hamil Barsac!"

A little guy with brown hair came out tremblingly, touched the inside of the hat before putting it on, and then put it on with confidence, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Sorting Hat.

It could be seen that he was very nervous, and when he sat down, the hat called out in a moment.

"Gryffindor!"

There was applause from the Gryffindor table, but the little boy wasn't too happy. He wanted to go to Hufflepuff.

"Snow Ikas."

"Ravenclaw!"

"Norton Chickley."

"Slytherin!"

The little wizard was beating drums in his heart. Sure enough, Hufflepuff is the most difficult house to get into. How will he behave to satisfy the hat?
None of the previous young wizards were assigned to Hufflepuff, which is unreasonable.

"Leah Collier"

The little girl took several deep breaths, ran to the hat with a clang, and bowed at 90 degrees.

"Hi Mr. Hat!"

The Sorting Hat is clearly having fun!
"Cute little guy, put it on me, and let me tell you the academy you're going to."

"The students in this class are very good."

Principal Dumbledore admired Leah's performance.

"Mr. Hat, can I go to Hufflepuff?"

Leah whispered through her hat.

"Oh~ why is it another person who wants to go to Hufflepuff, you should go to Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, that will let your talents be brought into play."

"Mr. Hat, please, Hufflepuff is my dream, please grant my little wish?"

Who could refuse a polite little girl's request?Even if it's a hat.

"Hufflepuffs!"

"Thank you Mr. Hat!"

Leah took off her hat and kissed it on the brim.

"Oh~ you are so kind, little guy."

Most of the freshmen's eyes lit up, and senior students applauded and cheered from the four long tables, especially the Hufflepuff long table.

Professor McGonagall was very relieved. Although she was not a Gryffindor, she liked all polite and sensible little guys.

"Ragney Krill"

The same process, Lagni trots, bows and says hello, and wears a hat!
"Hufflepuffs!"

Ragni smiled and gave the hat a kiss as well.

"Tony Phils"

A little boy with red hair has the experience of his predecessors, so he naturally got his wish.

It's just that he was rejected when he wanted to kiss the hat.

A dozen or so students were Hufflepuffs, with only one Slytherin in the middle.

"Aren't we a little too many Hufflepuff students this year?"

Professor Dumbledore asked Snape and Flitwick next to him.

Snape's face was dark, but Professor Flitwick didn't care.

"It's a lot every year, but this year it's just a lot."

"I don't know what those little guys said to the Sorting Hat, it never looked so happy."

"Karl Misnow."

Finally it was Carl's turn, and he walked out slowly, nothing to be nervous about.

When he put on the hat, he was still not stable.

"S~"

"and many more!!!"

"Did it mean Slytherin?"

"Maybe he took a breath, how could Carl be a Slytherin."

"You're right, I think he should be Ravenclaw, he knows too much."

Well, Carl admits to being nervous now!

"Oh, little one, do you want to go to Hufflepuff too?"

"Why not? I'm a Muggle!"

"Don't worry, you can give full play to your talents in Slytherin."

"No, no, Mr. Hat, if I go to Slytherin, I will be depressed and unable to eat, and will be bullied. In the end, I will be malnourished and not grow tall. Moreover, the Slytherin dormitory is in the basement, so it is easy to get old and cold legs!"

".Who did you listen to?"

"You should also consider the mental health of your students! Mr. Hat. Going to Hufflepuff, I will definitely grow up healthily and become an all-round excellent wizard!"

"Well, what you said makes sense. How about Ravenclaw. I think you have a lot of ideas."

"Please put me in Hufflepuff! The Ravenclaw tower is too high, it's uncomfortable to climb up, I'm not smart enough to answer the knocker's question, and I'm locked out every night, can you bear it?"

"How about Gryffindor? The building is not very high, the dormitory is comfortable, and the door is easy to enter."

"Too noisy at night, disturbed sleep."

"Okay, alright, although I think you are very suitable for Slytherin, what you said is also very reasonable. The accommodation conditions in other colleges are not bad. I haven't been to the Hufflepuff lounge for many years. There It's really warm and comfortable, and when will that damn door knocker break!"

"Hufflepuffs!"

"Thank you Mr. Hat, what a gentleman you are!"

"Thank you for your compliments, little wizard, this year is the year I've heard the most compliments, it gave me inspiration, I'm going to create a new song, I'm starting to like you guys."

"Looking forward to your work."

Satisfied, thanks to the hat, Carl walked over to his friends, to the cheers from the Hufflepuff table.

Many of the senior Hufflepuffs still shake hands with him, which makes Carl a little flustered.

Leah and Katie, Ragni are applauding and they're happy that you're all in the same house and Hufflepuffs, which is fantastic.

"Carl, I knew you could do it."

"Thank you Carl, your method really works, I want to give Mr. Hat a bath to thank him, it is really dirty."

"There will be a chance, Leah. I have a Muggle toilet cleaner. It cleans very well. You can wash Mr. Hat white."

The little wizards with Muggle families around heard it, and their eyes sparkled.

"Karl, you are amazing. Mr. Hat wanted to assign me to Ravenclaw to climb the stairs! But I praised him fiercely, and he happily assigned me to Hufflepuff."

"Good job!"

Carl is all smiles. If nothing else, this year's Hufflepuff is stronger than ever!
Sure enough, he just likes this atmosphere.

Hufflepuff is the best.
