Tom cat breaking through the dimensional wall

Chapter 476 Freshman Admission

During the two months that Tom spent at Hogwarts, he had done a lot of things, but there were also many things that he had not had time to do.

If you want to bring changes to Hogwarts, it would be most intuitive to wait until school starts.

Therefore, most of what Tom Mu has done in the past two months is just some necessary preliminary preparations.

In addition to opening an Oriental canteen on the first floor and purchasing a batch of goods.

Tom's biggest move was to sponsor a new, better and safer train at Hogwarts.

And of course he became the new boss of the employees on the high-speed rail.

Other than that, Tom Mu didn't make any more "big moves".

This made Dumbledore, who was always paying attention to Tom's actions, relaxed a lot.

Although the meeting between the two was not very friendly.

But after two months of getting along, Dumbledore also had many changes in Tom Mu.

Not only Dumbledore, but the rest of the school staff were also used to the presence of Tom the cat.

At this time, in Principal Dumbledore's office, Professor McGonagall was discussing with Dumbledore about this year's sorting ceremony.

"What do you think of these lyrics to the Sorting Song?"

Dumbledore held up a piece of paper.

Professor McGonagall looked at it and nodded gracefully.

Dumbledore put down the paper and said with a smile: "So be it. Now that there is a high-speed rail, the little wizards should be able to enter school earlier than usual, and we have to prepare in advance."

"This is a good thing. Faster transportation can save more time to do other things."

Professor McGonagall said, naturally thinking of Tom again, and said: "It has been two months since Mr. Tom came to Hogwarts. It seems that he really just wants to open a small shop."

Maybe they are both cats, but Professor McGonagall has a good impression of Tom.

Although she is a serious person, she does not express it.

Dumbledore nodded and said, "That seems to be the case. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to add a canteen to Hogwarts."

As he said that, Dumbledore, who had white hair and long beard, stood up and walked out of the office while saying: "Please call Mr. Tom to the sorting ceremony. In any case, he is also a part of the school now, so he must Introduce it to students.”

The kind-hearted Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall relaxed their vigilance towards Tom, thinking that he was just a cat who wanted to do business.

I really don’t know that on September 9st, the day when Hogwarts started school, Tom really started taking action.

The system's mission is to change Hogwarts.

Businessman is just its identity.

The gargoyle moved away, and Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall walked out.

Just after taking two steps, Dumbledore suddenly took two steps back, looked at a small stone lion next to the corridor, and wondered: "Has this been the only one here before?"

Professor McGonagall was also a little confused, but still nodded: "It seems there is."

With that said, the two of them ignored the stone lion and left.

On the mural in the corridor, the people in the painting watched Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall leave, and then looked at the stone lions.

Under their gaze, the stone lion seemed to suddenly come to life.

The zipper opened at the back, and Tom Mu climbed out with a proud look on his face.

In Dumbledore's eyes, Tom, a well-behaved man, danced a tap dance and came to the gargoyle with great success.

The stone beast raised his eyelids and glanced at Tang Mu, then reluctantly gave way to the passage.

Maomao held her head high, walked into the spiral staircase with steps that she didn't recognize, and entered the principal's office again.

On a gilded perch, the old bald bird Phoenix Fox stood there, with its head lowered, as if it was sleeping.

It wasn't until the arrogant Tom Mu came in that it looked up slightly.

After discovering Tom Mu, I felt a little more energetic.

"Meow!"

Tom happily raised his paw and greeted Fox.

During this time, it will come to the principal's office to play with Fox and the Sorting Hat.

It's simply more work than going home.

Therefore, Fox and the Sorting Hat liked Tom very much.

But Maomao came here mainly for the Sorting Hat.

Dumbledore and the professors were preparing for this year's sorting ceremony. Tom thought that he was now a part of Hogwarts, so naturally he had to show some expression.

"Hey, brother, you're here!"

On the bookshelf, an old pointed wizard hat suddenly made a sound.

The naturally sunken folds on its hat seem to form the hat's eyes and mouth.

As soon as it is opened and closed, it can make a sound.

"Hurry up, hurry up, teach me again, I'm still not familiar with that part."

The Sorting Hat jumped off the bookshelf and landed directly on Tom Mu's head.

no problem!

This is what Tom Mu came for.

Maomao took out two Allegro from behind without hesitation.

"Hey! You came prepared!"

The Sorting Hat already speaks with a Tianjin accent.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Cat and Hat laughed wildly together.

It seems that I am really looking forward to the performance at the sorting ceremony later.

Fox, who was sitting on a gilded branch next to him, saw the two brothers laughing so happily, and he also laughed "quack, quack, quack".

The unbridled laughter of a cat, a hat, and a bird echoed in the principal's office.

When the gargoyle guarding the door heard this, he lowered his eyebrows and sighed.

Poor Dumbledore and the professors still haven't realized the true identity of Tommelo's cat. As the earliest insider, he almost died of helplessness.

A few hours later, the auditorium.

Because they arrived at Hogwarts early, of course the students could not hold the Sorting Ceremony directly.

Otherwise, everyone probably wouldn’t be able to eat it.

Therefore, after the students arrived at Hogwarts by boat, Professor McGonagall asked the prefects of each house to take the new students around the school to familiarize themselves with Hogwarts in advance.

In the process, Tang Mu’s Oriental Canteen encountered numerous onlookers from students.

Because it’s not just freshmen.

It was also the first time for the rest of the old students to see this new facility in Hogwarts.

There is no doubt that this is big news.

After all, since Hogwarts was founded, its facilities have basically remained the same.

Occasionally, one or two items will be added due to some special circumstances.

But this is the first time for a functional building like a canteen.

Compared to the freshmen who know little about it, the old students are the most curious.

However, Tom Mu was not in the store at this time, so the canteen was closed.

Everyone can only see the dazzling array of goods inside through the glass windows.

And the cat head sign at the door.

The students stood in front of the door and talked a lot.

One of the red-haired twins looked eager to try. Seeing that there was really no one in the store, they stepped forward to take a closer look at what was inside.

"It seems like the stuff sold on the high-speed rail."

George spoke.

Fred smiled: "I saw it. Someone bought those snacks. They seem to be some good prank toys."

"I want to go in and have a look."

"I want, too."

The Weasley twins couldn't rest for a moment and immediately wanted to break open the door and enter the store.

Others regard the snacks sold by Tom Mu as snacks or alternative magic potions.

Only the Weasley twins who like to play pranks think this is a good prank prop.

But before the two of them could take action, Professor McGonagall and Hagrid had already arrived, signaling that the sorting ceremony was about to begin and that everyone should go to the auditorium now.

It was already dusk.

After everyone is sorted into different schools, it’s time for the dinner party.

In the auditorium, there are four long rows of tables.

These four tables represent the four schools of Hogwarts. The senior students were the first to enter the auditorium.

They sat in groups according to their respective academies.

This year's freshmen are waiting outside the door for the time being.

When the seniors walked away, the first-year students suddenly looked at each other.

Only then can they carefully observe the classmates in the next academy next to them.

Compared to ordinary people.

The number of wizards is really small.

Unlike the Muggle world, any school would have at least dozens or hundreds of new students in a year.

It was still a small town with a small population.

And Hogwarts.

It recruits young wizards from all over the UK.

Occasionally, foreign wizards even enroll.

Even so, there are only about fifty freshmen this year.

This number, I’m sorry, was already a lot in previous years.

Especially when Tom Mu also interfered with it.

Secretly using the Book of Admission, several freshmen who were supposed to enroll next year were admitted a year ahead of schedule.

This includes the youngest sister of the Weasley family, Ginny.

A certain Harry Potter fanboy who likes to take pictures.

and Luna Lovegood, known as the crazy girl.

Among them, Tom Mu's favorite was the girl named Luna.

Considering that there is a high probability that he will only stay at Hogwarts for one year.

In the next few years, these students at Hogwarts will face Voldemort and his Death Eaters.

Therefore, Tang Mu plans to recruit the children he likes in advance and conduct unified training and strengthening during this year.

As long as they lay a solid foundation this year, I believe that even without Tom Mu's presence in the future, they will be more confident when facing the battle with Voldemort as they are stronger.

This can be regarded as a little selfishness of Tang Mu.

"Ginny."

Ron stood next to Harry, wanting his sister to come over.

But the lovely Ginny glanced at Harry, then blushed and ran away.

She was very shy and only dared to look at Harry from a distance.

"What's wrong with her?"

Harry asked Ron.

Ron also looked confused. As a straight man, he couldn't understand Ginny's thoughts even more.

"It seems that what they just said is true. Harry Potter has arrived at Hogwarts."

At this moment, a blond guy suddenly looked at Harry and spoke, which attracted everyone's attention.

Draco Malfoy obviously enjoyed this feeling of being in the spotlight.

"This is Clara, this is Goyle, and my name is Malfoy."

Draco introduced himself and his two fat followers to Harry.

As he spoke, Malfoy walked up to Harry in two steps, as if to show off his family background, and emphasized again: "Draco Malfoy."

Draco was born into a pure-blood wizarding family.

His father, Lucius Malfoy, was Voldemort's lackey.

In his day, every child had heard the story of Harry Potter.

There is a theory circulating that Harry killed Voldemort entirely due to Harry's own ability, and he may become the next generation of Dark Lord.

Draco's father is a proponent of this statement.

Draco, who was deeply influenced by his father, wanted to bring glory to his father, so at this time he came forward to get to know Harry Potter.

Ron Weasley and Draco Malfoy also have a certain relationship.

They all come from a list called the Holy 28 pure-blood families.

However, because the Weasley family is not actually a supporter of pure blood theory, they are even close to mixed-blood wizards and even Muggles.

Therefore, many pure-blood families reject the Weasley family.

Especially Draco's Malfoy family.

Just as Draco introduced himself, Ron next to him couldn't help laughing.

This made Draco instantly turn his head to look at Ron with an evil look in his eyes: "Do you think my name is funny?"

Ron didn't know what to say, so he didn't speak.

"I know what your name is. With your hair pulled back and an old robe, I think you must be from the Weasley family."

Draco's tone was full of disdain for Ron.

Ignoring Ron, Brother Tu looked at Harry again: "You will find that some families are superior to others. Don't make friends with shady people."

It is very obvious who the words are referring to.

Ginny in the crowd was so angry that her little face bulged.

Draco stared at Harry and stretched out his hand: "I can help you."

Harry was not averse to making friends, but Draco insulted his only friend, which instantly made Harry's impression of Draco drop to negative.

"I think I can tell the good from the bad myself, thank you."

Harry rejected Draco's advances without mercy.

This made young Master Malfoy stunned for a moment.

Angry, he immediately realized that the rumors told by the adults were probably wrong.

There is absolutely no way that the boy in front of him is the next generation of Dark Lord.

He would actually hang out with the Weasleys!

"Clap!"

At this time, Professor McGonagall came back.

She clapped her hands, attracting the attention of all the students.

Professor McGonagall stood in front, leading everyone towards the auditorium hall.

The hall door opens automatically.

The little wizards quickly forgot about the small conflict between Harry and Draco. They all smiled and looked at the situation in the auditorium intently.

A large number of candles are suspended overhead to provide lighting for the auditorium.

The ceiling of the auditorium hall is enchanted.

We were obviously indoors, but when we looked up we could see the sky outside and the orange-red clouds under the sunset.

"Look, there's a cat over there."

Ron was standing next to Harry. He noticed that among the group of faculty members in front of him, there was a big cat behind a seat.

The presence of cats obviously attracted the attention of many children.

Seeing that they were all looking at him, Tang Mu happily took off his head and greeted the students with a smile.

"Wow!"

The move prompted a gasp from the crowd of children.

Dumbledore and others glanced at Tom and said nothing.

Snape tugged on his robe, looking a little disgusted with Tom.

"Okay, kids, please stand here."

Professor McGonagall led the freshmen to stand in front of the Sorting Hat.

"Before the ceremony begins, Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words to everyone."

The students stood up one after another, waiting for the old principal to speak.

Today, Dumbledore is wearing a gorgeous red robe and a pointed hat like a nightcap on his head.

Or is it actually just a nightcap?

Tom was skeptical.

"I have a few things to keep in mind when starting school."

Dumbledore stood up.

Tom pretended to be nonchalant, whistled, and stuffed a speech into Old Deng's head.
