Hogwarts: From Luna's family to god

Chapter 146 Weird Sisters and the Sorting Hat

When Vizette and Luna entered the auditorium, they both realized that this opening dinner was much more lively.

"Is it because of that?" Luna pointed to the distance. In front of the teacher's table, there stood a band that was tuning their instruments.

The band members wore black robes that were deliberately torn, and the edges of the holes were fixed with leather and rivets;

They all had extremely thick hair, which seemed to have been fixed by some means, showing various exaggerated hairstyles;

They each tuned the instruments in their hands, including not only guitars, but also bagpipes, lutes, cellos, drums and basses;

After tuning in place, they would pluck the strings and play an extremely cheerful rhythm, causing a commotion in the auditorium.

"You are finally here! It's incredible!" Anthony Goldstein was extremely excited, "Principal Dumbledore actually...actually invited the 'Weird Sisters'!"

Anthony was a loyal audience of the "Weird Sisters" band. The magic radio brought to Hogwarts was just to listen to the songs sung by the "Weird Sisters".

His cheeks flushed red, and when a rhythm sounded, he would clap his hands and cheer, "I wonder what song they will sing!"

"Do they have new members? Look at that..." He pointed at one of the band members, "Myron Wagtel! He is the lead singer of 'Weird Sisters'."

"But he is not in the lead singer position, there must be a surprise waiting for us! I wonder if there will be new songs this time... What style will it be?"

Luna tilted her head at Vizette, "Could it be...'Death Metal' style?"

Vizette nodded and agreed, "It is very likely... Mr. Sorting Hat is a very interesting hat..."

"Death... Metal? I haven't heard of this name..." Anthony frowned, "I remember they went to Northern Europe to collect folk songs recently. Could it be that they got inspiration from the Silent Bird?"

The Silent Bird is a magical animal with spots on its blue feathers. It will only make a long cry when it is facing death;

It is precisely because of this strange habit that it is named "Silent Bird". It is a magical animal with a wide range of uses. Its feathers are an important material for making truth serum.

"'Death metal' style?" Qiu Zhang said, "Even in the Muggle world, it is a very trendy genre. I didn't expect them to play this style? I'm looking forward to it..."

"You're right to look forward to it! Do you see the musician playing the guitar? His name is Curley Duke..." Anthony danced with joy and continued to popularize the members' information to Vizet and others.

...

Not long after, Dumbledore appeared at the door of the hall, with a four-legged stool floating behind him and the Sorting Hat in both hands.

The Sorting Hat was straining its throat, constantly opening and closing its cracks, making a series of "ah" sounds of different tones.

Vizet and Luna laughed knowingly when they saw this scene.

The Sorting Hat's original impulse should have been adopted by Dumbledore, so he invited the "Weird Sisters" band.

Dumbledore placed the four-legged stool in the lead singer's position, held the brim of the Sorting Hat with both hands, and placed it on the four-legged stool.

The auditorium suddenly became noisy. Whether or not people knew about the "Weird Sisters", they now understood that the real lead singer was actually the Sorting Hat.

Qiu Zhang also reacted and said to Vizet and the others, "You guys! You actually still have a little secret! But seriously..."

"The voice of the Sorting Hat is actually really suitable for "death metal". When I was sorted, I was almost scared by its singing!"

Amid such noise, Professor Flitwick also walked into the auditorium.

Behind him followed a group of freshmen. Although their robes were dry, they were probably still affected by the heavy rain and were all shivering.

When they saw the "Weird Sisters" band, they might have been shocked by the unique shape, and several freshmen actually cried.

Flitwick quickly comforted them and took out a few candies from his pocket, letting these candies fly around the crying freshmen like little birds;

The freshmen's attention was attracted, and they soon stopped crying. They reached out to grab the candies in their hands and smiled again.

After the incident subsided, Dumbledore said to the students in the hall: "Welcome back to Hogwarts..."

"I know what you have experienced. I hope that the song of the collaboration between the "Weird Sisters" and the Sorting Hat can dispel the haze in your hearts!"

...

Myron Wagtail, the lead singer of the band "Weird Sisters", bowed and said to the audience: "Hogwarts wizards, tonight we will use music... to reveal your new destiny!"

Accompanied by a loud applause, the guitarist took the lead in plucking the guitar strings, and the drummer followed closely, beating out a series of rapid drum beats, and the powerful and shocking music immediately filled the hall.

Although the prelude was short, it was enough to refresh and inspire people, and the Sorting Hat also began its singing.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, the palace of magic. I will open the chapter of your destiny! Intelligent and knowledgeable, brave and fearless, or fair and tolerant, smart and flexible? The four major colleges are waiting for you to venture out!"

The sound of the bagpipes became louder and louder, like the whistling mountain wind.

"The light of wisdom shines like stars, and the ocean of knowledge is endless! Rational thinking and unlimited innovation. In Ravenclaw, we are extremely smart!"

The drum beat became louder, as continuous as a heartbeat.

"The roar of a lion, the heart of a warrior, fearless of challenges, fight to the end! Burning with fire, move forward bravely, in Gryffindor, we have nothing to fear!"

The sound of the cello becomes deeper and deeper, echoing like the murmur of the sea.

"Loyalty and integrity, our beliefs, hard work, and hard work! The power of the earth is as stable as a rock. In Hufflepuff, we are united!"

The lute is silent and penetrates into every part of the music.

"The king in the shadows, the pursuit of power, cunning and ambitious! The whisper of the snake, cold and ruthless, in Slytherin, we control our destiny!"

Vocalist Myron Wagtell joined the chorus, and he and the Sorting Hat roared together, making a roar-like sound.

"Wear me and start your chapter in Hogwarts! The magical world is waiting for you to explore! Come on, freshmen, your destiny is revealed at this moment, let us embark on the journey of magic together!"

With the rapid drumbeats getting lighter and lighter, the sorting song came to a successful end.

Members of the band "The Weird Sisters" bowed with the Sorting Hat, and the auditorium erupted in loud applause.

The freshmen no longer trembled. They clenched their fists and looked excited. They couldn't wait to embark on the journey of magic.

Flitwick took several breaths before finally calming down.

He slowly opened the parchment scroll and said in a loud voice: "Whoever's name I call will come over and sit on the stool and put on the sorting hat!"

Chapter 147 "The Voice of Hogwarts"

"It's quite novel..." Qiu Zhang watched the "Weird Sisters" band take their seats at the teacher's table.

"I really didn't expect that... using those instruments, I could also play 'death metal' style music."

"I have to say that with this style of music, the Sorting Hat's singing sounds even better."

"These are the 'Weird Sisters'!" Anthony said happily, "No! They are geniuses! The best band in the wizarding world!"

The sorting ceremony ended, and Flitwick left with the four-legged stool and the Sorting Hat.

Dumbledore applauded and walked to the podium, "Thank you to the 'Weird Sisters' band! Thank you to the Sorting Hat! Thank you to them for the wonderful sorting song!"

He put down his palms, his expression became serious, and he said to the owl statue with outstretched wings: "I believe you have been inspected by dementors this afternoon..."

"I know everyone is very happy, but I must take advantage of this moment to say something disappointing... I hope it will deepen your memory and avoid danger."

Qiu Zhang said in a low voice: "This is the first time I have seen... Principal Dumbledore be so serious!"

Most of the students had similar thoughts, and they unconsciously straightened up on the floor to listen to what Dumbledore was about to say.

Dumbledore coughed slightly, "For a long time to come, the group of dementors sent by the Ministry of Magic will be active around Hogwarts."

"Those...dementors?"

"Are they going to stay here...for a long time?"

"Then how can we go to class?"

There was a noisy discussion in the auditorium, and the discussion quickly subsided when Dumbledore coughed again.

Dumbledore said in a deep voice: "Please be careful! Dementors will be stationed at various entrances and exits in the surrounding area, including the entrances and exits to Hogsmeade!"

"Dementors are extremely dangerous magical creatures. Now they are acting under the orders of the Ministry of Magic. Coupled with their evil nature..."

"They will not respond to any of your excuses or begging for mercy. They will only think about how to hurt you and... get what they desire from you!"

"If you have any questions about Dementors, you can ask your prefects for help and consultation... I hope the prefects will do a good job in publicity and try to avoid conflicts between students and Dementors!"

On the Hogwarts Express, all students have a relatively deep understanding of the magical creatures called dementors, and know that these dementors absorb all good things;

I have also seen the terror of Dementors and felt their terrifying ability to change the environment.

At this time, the auditorium seemed to be visited by dementors, and most of the students frowned, looking worried and scared.

…

Dumbledore pursed his lips and looked at the students' expressions. After a while, he clapped his hands to attract the students' attention.

He exhaled, the seriousness on his face gradually disappeared, and said in a steady voice: "Let's talk about something pleasant..."

"I believe you already know something about Remus Lupin..." He turned slightly and stretched out his arms to introduce himself, "He will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!"

Remus Lupine stood up, showed a shy smile, and saluted towards each house's table.

He changed into a clean blue robe. Although his face was still pale and his expression was a bit weak, he felt completely new.

There was a burst of applause in the auditorium. They had already made a good impression of Lupine on the Hogwarts Express, and they were naturally willing to welcome him with applause.

Dumbledore said: "Professor Silvanus Kettleburn, who is in charge of the Care of Magical Creatures class, has retired, and our gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid..."

"Here!" Hagrid, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly stood up, and the long table was lifted up.

Flitwick, who was sitting nearby, was startled. He stretched out his slender fingers and pressed down lightly, causing the long table to fall steadily back to the ground.

The applause from the Gryffindor table had already begun. They cheered and applauded Hagrid.
