There are many creatures in the black lake, and some creatures will surface and look at them with curious eyes.

Unknowingly, the boat passed through a curtain of ivy and gently touched the shore of the lake.

Hagrid walked at the front holding a lantern and led the children through the dark tunnel to a place like a dock.

From here on, you can finally see the traces of artificial excavation.

Follow the path paved with small cobblestones up, then climb a long set of stone steps, walk into the wide courtyard, and finally arrive in front of the door of Hogwarts Castle.

During the short break, although the children were panting, they did not take time off and started talking and laughing again.

Boom, boom, boom!

Hagrid raised his sandbag-like fist and pounded the oak door hard.

The door slowly opened, and Professor McGonagall stood in front of it, with a tall body and a serious expression. The children's laughter instantly subsided.

Hagrid walked to the door, "Professor McGonagall, I have brought the first years!"

"Thank you, Hagrid." Professor McGonagall nodded slightly and glanced at the children, "Follow me, the back-to-school dinner is about to begin."

The hall inside the door is very wide, and there is a luxurious marble staircase in the center.

The group of people stepped onto the marble stairs, turned to the corridor on the side, and entered a small room with a fireplace.

The fire burned brightly in the fireplace, driving away the chill from the children.

There was another door at the end of the hut, and noisy sounds came in through the crack in the door.

"Welcome to Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall stood in front of the door. "Before entering the auditorium, you need to perform a ceremony - the Sorting Ceremony."

"The college is equivalent to your home in Hogwarts. You will study and live together with your classmates in the college, and spend your after-school life in the same common room."

"So this ceremony is extremely important and determines your house affiliation. After the ceremony, you will become a member of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin."

"Each college has a glorious past and has produced countless outstanding wizards. Your performance in daily life and study will determine the selection of the year-end College Cup."

"This is the highest honor that can be obtained in the school. No matter which college you will be assigned to, I hope you can bring glory to the school..."

She suddenly held her head high and exuded an aura of calmness and authority, "You guys wait here for a moment, the sorting ceremony will be held in a few minutes."

"All the teachers and students of the school will attend your branching ceremony. I hope you can take these few minutes to adjust yourself and show your best state!"

She turned around and opened the door, then turned back and added, "When the stage over there is ready, I will come to pick you up. Please keep quiet! Adjust yourself!"

There is no doubt that Professor McGonagall's series of words and the serious expression put the children into an unspeakable tension.

They looked at each other, but all they could see was the tension, and the joking atmosphere no longer existed.

"We may have to fight giants! Or fire dragons!" Ron's tone was extremely determined. "I didn't believe what Fred and the others said before, but now it seems... what they said is true!"

"Vizet, aren't you nervous?" Harry breathed on his glasses and wiped them awkwardly, "The sorting ceremony is going to be held later."

"Don't be nervous." Weizet shook his head gently, "Just be normal. This is also an adjustment."

Perhaps with the help of the "Guardian Meditation Method", he noticed a hint of laughter in Professor McGonagall's serious tone.

Coupled with what Qiu Zhang once said, he didn't feel any worries about the upcoming sorting ceremony.

Weizet's calm speech seemed to have a magical power, making those who heard him feel less nervous.

With the help of a short rest, Weizet walked around the room and took in everything here.

A glimmer of enlightenment occurs.

He releases his magic eyes and absorbs the ancient magical power contained in the room.

These powers turned into ink-like silver-blue liquid and were stored in notes.

It was also expected by Weizet that the ancient magical power of just one room could not continue to turn over new pages.

At the same time, the map in the note has a little more bright area.

The power contained in this room is not much, not enough for the Magic Eye to grow.

However, Weizet still concluded that only by continuing to explore Hogwarts Castle can we harvest more ancient magical power.

"Ghost! There's a ghost on the wall! It's haunted!"

The screams attracted the children's attention, and they all looked at the wall.

But the focus of these ghosts is not on them, but on intensely discussing something.

It wasn't until a ghost that looked like a monk floated down that another commotion was caused.

"You can call me Fat Friar," the ghost said cheerfully, "The sorting ceremony... I really hope you come to Hufflepuff, I am from that house."

The world-weary зjunyang⑦1 ④⒋ eight㈥⑦ seventy

As soon as these words came out, the nervousness returned and flooded the hearts of the children.

Professor McGonagall also returned to the room at the right time and said loudly: "Follow me in a single row, the sorting ceremony will begin soon!"

The auditorium has an extremely rich magical color. The high dome is as transparent as a transparent sky, and you can see the bright starry sky.

Under the starry sky, there are thousands of candles floating in the air, but there is no drop of wax or black smoke. They are a wonderful product of magic.

As a top student who has memorized textbooks, Hermione's way of relieving tension is very interesting. She recited the content about the ceiling in large paragraphs.

"The ceiling is enchanted... you can see the sky outside... and change the weather... from "Hogwarts: A History of the School"..."

Professor McGonagall brought a four-legged stool and put a pointed hat on the stool.

The pointed hat looked dirty and full of patches. It was hanging on the four-legged stool, which was particularly conspicuous.

Vizet half-jokingly guessed: "Do we need to use the repair spell to restore this hat to its original state?"

"I haven't practiced this magic!" Hermione's tone seemed to be crying, "What should I do?"

Just then, the pointed hat cracked by itself, and a "singing sound" like a saw pulling wood came from the crack.

Putting aside the extremely unpleasant singing of the hat, Vizet can still hear a lot of interesting content from the song.

For example, this hat is the executor of the sorting ceremony. As long as you wear the hat, you can be assigned to the appropriate college;

For example, it takes courage to enter Gryffindor, Hufflepuff values ​​integrity and loyalty, Ravenclaw likes smart students, and Slytherin prefers people who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

At the end of the song, Professor McGonagall pulled open the sheepskin scroll.

"Whoever I call, come and sit on the stool and put on the sorting hat. Hannah Abbott!"

Chapter 26 Sorting Problems

The girl with two golden braids ran forward, put on the sorting hat with a flushed face, and pulled it down again, and the brim of the hat covered her eyes.

Vizet seemed to understand why the sorting hat was full of patches.

It is probably not to reflect the heavy sense of history, but this hat has really been pulled.

After a while, the Sorting Hat cracked again, "Hufflepuff!"

Cheers came from the long table on the right, and the applause was also very enthusiastic.

The ghost who had spoken to her earlier appeared on the long table and waved his hands in the air to express his congratulations.

Hannah Abbott pulled down her hat and let out a long breath.

She seemed to be too relaxed, a little confused, and stumbled to the long table that was applauding.

"It's so simple!" Ron was very angry and secretly glanced back, "George is making faces at me, he did it on purpose!"

"Susan Bones!"

"Hufflepuff!"

The children are now more relaxed, and many of them are eager to try, expecting that he will be the next person to wear the Sorting Hat.

However, the first letter of the surname determines the order of sorting, and they are destined to be anxious.

The time it takes for the Sorting Hat to call out the college varies. Some people just put on the hat, and the Sorting Hat screams out their college;

Some people need to go through a long silence after putting on the Sorting Hat before the final result is announced.

Just like Hermione, who sat on the four-legged stool for more than four minutes, the Sorting Hat reluctantly called out the house: "Gryffindor!"

"Oh..." Ron groaned.

Neville also sat on the four-legged stool for a long time before the Sorting Hat firmly called out: "Gryffindor!"

"Wizzet Lovegood!"

Wizzet walked forward calmly and covered his head with the Sorting Hat.

With the help of the Guardian Meditation, he could feel the attention of many people.

There were two girls sitting at the long table on the left, Qiu Zhang and Penelope both cast their attention on him.

There were also attention eyes beside him, and Professor McGonagall leaned forward slightly, looking forward to the result of the sorting.

Behind him, there were two different attentions.

One attention was with familiar kindness, which should come from Dumbledore.

The other attention was full of malice, like a robber coveting treasure.

This gaze only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing without a trace.
