Hogwarts: Start in Azkaban

Hagrid stepped forward and leaned into Professor McGonagall's ear.

"Professor McGonagall, this year, a third-year student burned his pants during a magical duel. I asked him to change his pants first. There are two sides in this magical duel. Two of them are freshmen, each I don't know what's at fault, what should I do now?"

"Freshmen? Are the third-year students at a disadvantage?"

Professor McGonagall was also moved by Hagrid's words.

You must know that freshmen have never learned magic, and third-year students have already mastered some intermediate-level killing spells. It is reasonable to say that it should be freshmen who suffer, so that third-year students who are strong and weak can be severely punished. .

But listening to Hagrid's tone, it was true that the third graders suffered a lot.

"Yes, those two."

Hagrid gestured slightly with her eyes to Cassandra, who was as proud as a queen, and Chu He, who was expressionless.

"...Complete the sorting ceremony according to the procedure first, and then deal with this matter after the sorting ceremony is over."

Professor McGonagall opened his mouth to decide.

Many professors at Hogwarts such as Dumbledore have been waiting in the Great Hall for a long time. She can't keep all the professors and other senior students waiting in order to deal with a magical duel. She still knows which one is more important. of.

"it is good."

Hagrid nodded and stepped aside.

"Well, welcome to Hogwarts, the house will be your home for the next seven years."

"In a little while you'll walk through this door and join the rest of the class, but before you get to the dining hall, you need to be assigned a house, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin."

"Your outstanding performance will give the college extra points, and violations will give the college a deduction, and at the end of the year, the college with the highest credits can get the grade cup, okay, now, let's go to the sorting ceremony with me. . "

After Professor McGonagall turned around, the closed door of the auditorium opened immediately, and the students followed McGonagall into the auditorium.

The sky above the Hogwarts Great Hall was like a bright starry sky, with candles suspended in the air. Chu He looked up at the starry sky with interest.

"This sky isn't real, it's been enchanted so it's chopped up like the night sky, I read about it in A History of Hogwarts."

Hermione, who came to her side at an unknown time, explained to Chu He.

Chu He gave Hermione a slight nod.

It's not that he can't see that the night sky is formed by a spell, but he is observing the composition of this spell.

If this illusion spell can be improved into a small spell, then theoretically, it can achieve a good killing effect with some trap magic.

It can also be transformed into the aspect of predicament magic, artificially creating a fake maze to hinder the opponent's actions.

"Okay, stop here, and the person whose name I called sits down. I will put the Sorting Hat on his head, and then the Sorting Hat will decide which college you will be in in the future."

After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, he opened the list of freshmen.

"Kassandra."

Cassandra walked confidently to the seat and sat down. Before the Sorting Hat was on her head, the folds formed a mouth that screamed Slytherin's decision.

Immediately, the seats in the Slytherin branch burst into warm applause, and Cassandra showed Chu He a charming and charming smile, and then walked to the Slytherin seats.

"Next, Ronald Weasley."

The boy with fiery red hair and an old wizard's robe walked over to the chair and sat down.

"Ha, another Weasley, I know where to put you, Gryffindor!"

Ronald happily ran to the Gryffindor's seat.

"Next, Hermione Granger."

Standing beside Chu He, Hermione nervously walked to the seat and sat down, then Professor McGonagall put the Sorting Hat on her head.

"Well, talented little girl, you are very suitable for Ravenclaw, but if you go to Slytherin, you can also obtain advanced magic, and Hufflepuff is also suitable for you... Your quality can also be carried forward in Gryffindor."

The folds of the Sorting Hat kept muttering, obviously hesitant.

The Sorting Hat could not make a decision until five minutes passed.

McGonagall on the side couldn't help but be a little surprised. The student who made the Sorting Hat hesitate for so long was called Hasto, and she was the only Hasto in the past 100 years.

The reason why the Sorting Hat can assign students to the appropriate college is because the founders of the four major colleges at that time integrated their own thoughts into the Sorting Hat, and at the same time added self-awareness and a powerful Legilimency to the Sorting Hat. Appropriate assignments are made based on the inner thinking of students and the thinking of the four first-generation deans.

In a situation like Hasto, it means that the four first-generation deans in the Sorting Hat have a love for their talents, so they are hesitant.

"Well, little girl, how about yourself? Do you want to go to Ravenclaw?"

After hesitating for a long time, the Sorting Hat asked Hermione in a low voice.

"I want to go to Gryffindor."

"Then Gryffindor!"

shouted the Sorting Hat.

The Gryffindor's seat immediately cheered. Hasto could almost be the endorsement of outstanding students, and it was undoubtedly a happy news that they were assigned Gryffindor.

On the other hand, looking at Slytherin, Hermione's eyes were not good. After all, there was competition between colleges. A Hasto went to Gryffindor, which was definitely not good news for Slytherin Branch.

"Chu He."

Professor McGonagall clicked on Chu He's name, Chu He stepped forward and sat on the chair generously, and the students in the fourth courtyard were suddenly a little commotion.

There is no other reason, Chu He's age seems to be too young, the other children are eleven years old, and Chu He sitting there is only nine years old, and it stands to reason that he should not have received Hogwarts. The admission invitation letter is correct.

Even many professors are a little surprised by Chu He's age.

But Dumbledore did not explain, but leaned forward slightly to focus on Chu He.

Others may not know, but it is impossible for him not to know that Chu He is a wizard released from Azkaban.

A nine-year-old kid who killed a Muggle with a Death Curse should spend the rest of his life in prison, that's what most wizards think.

But he felt that it was more because Chu He was raised by a Death Eater and did not have a suitable guide on the way to grow up, so this tragedy happened. This was not Chu He's fault.

So when Lu Demis discussed with him the proposal to let Chu He enter the school, he readily agreed to let Chu He enter Hogwarts to study.

And now, he was a little curious about which branch Chu He would be assigned to. *
