No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 837 Is this a bit of a joke?

"Well, please believe me, I have my reasons." Ou Mengmeng sighed. She could say that she was not that interested in Gryffindor, but she couldn't stop them from having a good location! Their lounge was on the eighth floor of the main building, together with the headmaster's office and Professor Flitwick's office (where Sirius was imprisoned). But the point is, there is the "Room of Requirement" also called the Coming and Going Room, a very important scene in the Harry Potter series.

What Ou Mengmeng is most interested in is the room full of hidden things in the last episode. It is said that the magic mirror that made Harry lost was found by Dumbledore in the Room of Requirement. And inside, there are secrets of Hogwarts students and teachers for thousands of years, and of course, wealth.

Of course, this wasn't about money! But something that had been there for a thousand years was definitely worth looking it up. So, she had to find a place closer to the common room so that she could be more comfortable.

"Then let's go too." Hermione said hurriedly. She was eager to be with "Little Petunia". This was her first friend.

"I can't go. If I can't get into Slytherin, I will be expelled from the family tree." Draco said hurriedly.

"Don't worry, I won't let you go." Ou Mengmeng nodded, and the shabby hat in the book didn't even touch the person's hair, but he called out Slytherin.

"What about me?" Harry asked hurriedly.

"You, whatever you want. All four colleges are good. After all, they are places for learning. Which college can't you study in?" Ou Mengmeng said casually.

"No, Harry, you have to go to Slyklin. The next best choice is Gryffindor. If you can live with Draco, you can live in the same dormitory. Come to Gryffindor, we are here." Hermione analyzed very rationally. The four of them have lived together for some time. Hermione was very worried about Harry's current living conditions and naturally felt that he should be protected by the three of them.

Draco nodded. He had lived with Harry for a month. They were very familiar with each other and used to it. The main thing was that if he had to live with someone else, he immediately thought of Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe, and immediately shuddered, "Oh, right! Remember to choose Slyklin."

"Is there any other choice?" Harry was stunned for a moment.

"Of course, there are human rights in the magic world." Ou Mengmeng smiled hurriedly. She thought about it carefully. She seemed to have only said that she had reasons to go to Gryffindor, but she never said that Harry should go to Slytherin. If Dumbledore asked her, she would deny it. But if the savior went to Slytherin, she didn't know whether Professor Snape and the Order of the Phoenix would collapse!
Finally they arrived. Professor McGonagall led the little wizards in. She also glanced at Ou Mengmeng deliberately. She was very calm and not as amazed by this magical building as the other little wizards.

Ou Mengmeng was very calm. With all the special effects in the movie, even if she was in it, it was nothing. She was thinking that her hair was not as thick as Hermione's, so it should be easier to wash than hers. So after being touched by the dirty hat, should she go back and wash her hair first before looking for the Room of Requirement?

Just like the original book, Professor McGonagall noticed the stain on Ron's nose and Harry Potter's hair standing up due to nervousness. She couldn't help but look at the "little Petunia" who was a little short among them. Sure enough, she was still standing well, talking quietly to the children around her, comforting them. Professor McGonagall felt like her heart was melting.

According to tradition, various ghosts passed through the small hall where they waited, taking pleasure in scaring the new students.

Ou Mengmeng looked up at the ghosts. Alas, this is how Peeves was indulged. She was thinking, if she were the janitor Mr. Fitch, would she also go crazy?
It's really terrible. Come to think of it, I am prepared to violate the church rules, but I will never cause trouble for the janitor, even though that janitor is not a good person.

Finally, we were allowed to enter the dining hall. Students from other grades of the college were already sitting around four long tables, with thousands of candles floating in the air above the tables, lighting up the auditorium. The four tables were set with glittering golden plates and tall wine glasses.

There was another long table at the top of the hall, which was where the teachers sat, and even Hagrid had a seat at the side. Professor McGonagall took the first years over there and asked them to line up in a row facing all the senior students, with the teachers behind them.

Ou Mengmeng looked at the faces of the seniors opposite her. She felt that, under the candlelight, they were very scary. Then she looked at the golden plates and goblets. She didn't know how much they were wasted every year. She had to check this out. She really knew these energetic little monsters too well. When they were noisy, she was in pain. When they were not noisy, she was even more in pain, because when they were quiet, it meant that they were holding back bigger tricks! It really was not enough to be defeated by them no matter how rich they were. Even in the magic world, it was impossible to really restore with one click, right?

Professor McGonagall gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first-year student, and on top of it she placed a pointed wizard's hat. The hat was patched, worn, and extremely dirty.

Although Ou Mengmeng had seen it in the movie, now seeing the real thing, she couldn't help but groan, "Oh, Merlin!"

Hermione, the daughter of a dentist, was in so much pain that even moaning was not enough to express her feelings at the moment.

Ou Mengmeng silently handed Hermione a small bottle, "It's 75% alcohol!"

Hermione took it quickly and shook her hand tightly. "What about us?" Draco was also trembling. Seeing the stool and the hat, although he didn't know how to operate them, he was sure that he would let them touch them. This, the platinum young master couldn't tolerate.

Ou Mengmeng took out a few more and gave them to Harry and Neville. Seeing Ron's silly look, she gave up. Looking back, it seemed that there were no familiar faces. She stood steadily.

Then the hat twisted and opened a wide crack like a mouth - and the hat began to sing:
You may think I'm not pretty,
But never judge a book by its appearance,
If you can find a prettier hat than mine,
I can eat myself.

You can make your bowler hat black and shiny,

Let your high silk hats be smooth and crisp,

I am the Sorting Hat at Hogwarts,
Of course it is taller than your hats.

Any hidden thoughts in your mind,

No one can escape the Sorting Hat's sharp eyes.

Try it on and I'll tell you.
Which college should you be assigned to.

You may belong to Gryffindor,
There is courage buried deep in my heart,
Their courage, courage and chivalry,

To make Gryffindor outstanding;
You may be a Hufflepuff,
The people there are honest and loyal,

Hufflepuff students are stoic and honest;

Not afraid of hard work;

If you are smart,
Maybe into the wise old Ravenclaw,
Those who are wise and knowledgeable,

There they will always meet their comrades;

Maybe you'll go into Slytherin,
Make sincere friends here.

But those cunning and sinister people will stop at nothing to
to achieve their goals.

Come wear me! Don't be afraid!
Don't panic!

In my hand (even though I don't even have a hand)
you are absolutely safe

Because I am a thinking magic hat!
After the hat finished singing, the whole audience burst into applause. The hat bowed to the four tables one by one, and then stood still.

Ou Mengmeng closed her eyes. It was really unbearable to watch. In the original book, Hat Brother was the most powerful at this time of year. Besides sorting the new students, its only job was to write an opening song for it. Then it bullied the whole school and there was nothing it could do.

Hermione's eyes widened, mainly because she didn't expect that the sorting would use a tone-deaf hat. And then just put it on and they can be sorted? She felt that this life was a bit unbearable, you should at least give us a test paper!

Harry and Draco were thinking, why not ask "Little Petunia" to find a self-study course in a Muggle secondary school? At least hang out here for a few years, then go back to the Muggle world and get a diploma? Otherwise, how can they find a job?
I saw what everyone said. It might be that after taking a nap, I put it directly into the quilt bag and then into the cabinet, which caused the moisture and airtightness. I can only ask my mother for some camphor wood strips. Will it be better? Camphor balls definitely won't work. The smell is unbearable.
