Hogwarts: From Luna's family to god

Luna was among them, but her attention was on the ceiling. She looked at the ceiling for a while and then turned to look around. She didn't smile until she looked at Wizette.

Professor McGonagall set up a chair and placed the Sorting Hat on it. The Sorting Hat soon cracked open and sang a new song.

"Deep in the ancient Hogwarts, every corner is filled with magic..."

"Here is courage, wisdom, loyalty and ambition, which converge into the brightest stars..."

"I am the ancient and wise Sorting Hat, listen to my song and find your house..."

"Gryffindors are as brave as lions. They are unyielding and move forward bravely. Boldness and courage are their mottos..."

"Ravenclaws are as keen as eagles. They swim in the ocean of knowledge. Shrewdness and wisdom are the driving force for their exploration..."

"Hufflepuffs are as diligent as badgers, they are persevering and pure in heart, and they use sincerity to find the answer to create happiness..."

"Slytherins who are as dexterous as snakes, they dream of gaining higher power, grow up in challenges and strive to write legends..."

"Now, a new journey is about to begin. May the glory of Hogwarts illuminate your future..."

"Courage, wisdom, loyalty and ambition will be your strongest shield. Children, please put me on and choose your future path..."

This year is a brand new sorting song, perhaps because the Sorting Hat knows that the song cannot be changed, so it focuses its energy on creating it.

Accompanied by a burst of warm applause, the Sorting Hat lowered its tip, bowed to the students, and announced that the sorting ceremony had officially begun.

Each student sat on a stool, and the Sorting Hat shouted out their house affiliation.

The letter of Colin Creevey's surname is C. This enthusiastic young photographer was sorted into Gryffindor as soon as he put on his hat.

He first ran to the long table where Wizette was, and after being reminded by other students, he realized that he should go to Gryffindor, and then he looked for the right place with a blush on his face.

Professor McGonagall glanced at the list and called out Luna's name, "Luna Lovegood!"

Luna walked lightly towards the Sorting Hat, with a curious smile on her face and no trace of nervousness.

She said hello to the Sorting Hat, and then gently put the Sorting Hat on her head.

After a long silence, the Sorting Hat's voice shouted cheerfully: "Ravenclaw!"

Chapter 69 The Sorting Hat Wants to Sing Death Metal

Anthony said with some regret: "It's just a little bit close! We will witness the problem of sorting for two consecutive years!"

Michael said immediately: "The probability of this is too low, but it has been a long time, and I thought it was almost done."

Chris touched his chin and said in a delicate tone: "If there are two students with difficulty in sorting... or two brothers and sisters... I don't even dare to think about it!"

The Ravenclaw table rang with applause, and Luna faced the warm applause and sat next to Wizette.

She had a mysterious smile on her face, "Mr. Sorting Hat told me a lot of things, including things about you."

"About me?" Weizet was a little surprised.

Luna moved her head closer and whispered softly: "Mr. Sorting Hat said that you are very special. He went through a lot of effort to sort you into a different house."

"As soon as I put Mr. Sorting Hat on my head, he wanted me to come to Ravenclaw, but he was too lonely, so he talked to me for a while."

"He also asked me if the song tonight was good. He said that I stayed in the principal's office and thought about it for a whole year before I came up with such a new song."

Wizette couldn't help but laugh: "The lyrics are well written, but I can't accept its tone."

"That's what I told Mr. Sorting Hat." Luna also laughed. "It said it would try a different tone next year, and it also learned about the music genre 'death metal' from me."

"Death metal..." Weizet remembered that when he and Luna spent the Christmas vacation last year, they listened to a tape about this genre in a department store.

"But I remember that when we first heard this music, there was a band to cooperate, right? If it was just dry singing..."

He couldn't imagine how the students and professors would react if that deep-throated roar echoed through the auditorium.

There was some anticipation in Luna's eyes, "So Mr. Sorting Hat plans to report and ask Principal Dumbledore to invite a band to come over and sing the sorting song with it."

…

The sorting ceremony continued, and Ginny Weasley, the youngest and only daughter of the Weasley family, was also sorted.

Following the tradition of the Weasley family, she was sorted into Gryffindor almost as soon as she touched the sorting hat.

"Hufflepuff!"

The last new student took off his sorting hat and hurried to the Hufflepuff table.

Professor McGonagall put away the parchment and left the auditorium with the Sorting Hat, announcing that the auditorium had entered the next stage.

Dumbledore stood up. Today he was wearing a dark blue brocade robe decorated with many clover patterns, and his pointed hat also had a clover metal decoration.

He adjusted his half-moon glasses and walked slowly to the front of the stage. The clover patterns seemed to float back and forth in his robes with his movements, which was very fancy.

Taking advantage of the time when the owl statue stretched its wings, Dumbledore scanned the entire auditorium and said with a smile: "Welcome everyone to return to Hogwarts without any danger..."

"I believe that after a day of traveling and waiting, everyone is already starving, so... I won't say anything else. Let's open our bellies and enjoy tonight's banquet!"

This year's opening remarks were as brief as ever. After hearing these words, Harry and Ron nodded in sympathy.

Harry also turned his head, trying to see what Snape was doing, but he happened to look into Snape's eyes.

He could only pretend that nothing happened, and clapped vigorously along with Ron to welcome the upcoming back-to-school dinner.

Dumbledore walked back to the teacher's table. Various delicacies appeared on the plate, and the steaming heat gave off an alluring aroma.

The atmosphere at the dinner was very lively. Compared to last year's diverse topics, the main topic of discussion at this year's dinner focused on Gilderoy Lockhart.

Among the professors, Dumbledore was often the most gorgeous in his daily attire.

The emergence of Gilderoy Lockhart broke this situation.

He was wearing a set of lilac-colored robes. The elegant-colored robes were decorated with many sequins.

Whenever he smiles with his teeth exposed, the sequins all over his body will flash with light spots, like a human-shaped rotating stage light, extremely dazzling.

There were two badges hanging on his chest. Ravenclaw in the front row carefully observed the badges and found that they were the Order of Merlin, Third Class, and the honorary membership badge of the Defense Against Dark Arts Alliance.

Her blond hair was also well taken care of, with plenty of hairspray used to hold the waves in place to ensure they would not be weighed down by the pointed, sequined hat.

The last dessert cake disappeared from the plate, and Dumbledore stepped forward again and began a new round of speeches.

The various precautions he talked about were not much different from last year.

The corridor on the right side of the fourth floor is unblocked and anyone can go there. There will be no restrictions and no points deductions.

"In addition, we also want to welcome a new professor..." Dumbledore waved back, "Our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor—Gilderoy Lockhart."

Hearing his name, Gilderoy Lockhart straightened his clothes and got ready to speak.

Dumbledore seemed to have anticipated this and did not allow Gilderoy Lockhart to stand up and introduce himself.

"I believe that all students already know him very well, so there is no need to introduce yourself... Let us sing a song and go back to rest!"

The familiar golden ribbon appeared, floating in mid-air in the auditorium, twisting into a string of beautiful squiggles.

Many fans of Gilderoy Lockhart's books expressed regrets and sighed one after another.

There were also students who were not interested in Gilderoy Lockhart. After listening to Dumbledore's advice, they took the initiative to sing the school song for the first time.

With a smile on his face, Dumbledore held his wand as a baton, "Ready... to sing!"

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Weizet felt that this year's school song session was more lively than in previous years.

…

The dinner was officially over, and amid bursts of yawns, the students returned to their respective college lounges.

After Penello took Luna to identify the dormitory, Luna returned to the common room and found a desk with Wizette to sit down.

They also had an agreement tonight to write a letter to Xenophilius, so that it would be convenient to send the letter tomorrow.

Luna thought for a while, then took out the album she carried with her, "I want to send a painting back."

"Then what can I do?" Weizet frowned and thought seriously, "How about you draw a flat painting and I make it three-dimensional?"

Luna understood what Weizet meant, "Become three-dimensional? Like the three-dimensional books we see in department stores?"

Wizette smiled slightly, "Yes, something like that, but a little more magical!"

Seeing Weizet's smile, Luna seemed to understand something, as if she had seen the real thing, "In that case, Dad will definitely like it!"

While Luna was drawing, Weizet thought about how to realize the idea.

He needed to use the skills of making magic props. He continued to study Grindelwald's notes during his spare time during the summer vacation, and it was not difficult to present them.

However, he is not satisfied with this, and wants to keep improving and present more interesting effects...

Chapter 70 Grindelwald’s Recording Curse

Luna's painting is freshly released: there is a blond girl in the train at night, the train is slowly pulling into the platform with steam emitting, and the majestic castle is brightly lit in the distance.

There is still some magic powder left to make the crystal ball bracelet, which can be used in this painting.

The function of these magic powders is to fix it, allowing the magic to stay on the drawing paper.

Using magic powder to outline the outlines of each scene, Vizette murmured a spell in his mouth, picked up the wand and waved it gently.

Trains, railway tracks, platforms and castles are like fish jumping out of the water, jumping out of the drawing paper and showing three-dimensional shapes, like miniature model toys.

"You also need to make the wheels of the train roll...the steam also needs to feel flowing..."
