Hufflepuff never works overtime

"Thank you, Hermione," Faith replied with a wry smile. She tried to remind the little lion euphemistically that sometimes some of her behaviors are indeed easy to misunderstand—even though her intentions were not bad. Can you be more friendly?"

"Be kinder?" Hermione thought for a moment, "but I fixed their glasses and showed them magic."

"So you want to befriend them?"

"Uh... It's always good to know more people," Hermione recalled the performance of those two people just now, and couldn't help curling her lips, "But they don't look very smart."

The author's words:

Hermione: Faith... you don't like communicating with others so much, I'm really worried that you won't be able to make friends

Faith: Hermione, QAQ, please don't say a few words (open the car window, ready to escape)

Why do I think it is so painful to write the part of the original book... The next chapter will finally arrive at Hogwarts~

Chapter 27 Welcome to Hogwarts

After the train came to a complete stop, the children in the box rushed out, and the corridor was crowded with people all of a sudden.

Before walking out of the cubicle, Faise still glanced at the luggage inside with some anxiety—although a senior classmate told them when they were patrolling just now, as long as they were placed on the train, someone would help them carry them later. to their respective bedrooms.

"Follow me closely, Faith." Hermione, who was walking in front, turned her head to confirm the person walking behind her, but still felt uneasy, so she simply grabbed her hand and moved out along with the flow of people.

"Hey, first graders come this way, don't be shy, hurry up, follow me!"

Under the yelling of a big man holding a lamp, the little bean dices of the first grade passed through the crowded platform one after another, and walked down a narrow path to the lake.

"Pay attention to your steps, don't fall into the lake, it would be bad if you miss the sorting ceremony."

Students sit in small, unmanned boats in groups of three or four, with only a dim chandelier offering them limited visibility.

"Do you think there will be water monsters in this lake?" Hermione poked her head out curiously, glanced at the water surface filled with white mist, and whispered to Faith, "I remember "Hogwarts: A School It was mentioned in "History" that there seems to be a mermaid living here."

"My mother mentioned in the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" that the Loch Ness monster was probably based on a magical creature called the horse-shaped water monster /Kelpie/, but it does not seem to be friendly to humans."

Faith thought of the illustration in the book—a huge long monster covered with seaweed, shook its head violently, and grabbed Hermione's arm, "I hope Hogwarts won't use that kind of creature as our welcome ceremony."

Hermione didn't know as much about these magical animals as Faise, she just patted her hand reassuringly, "This is a school, how could there be such dangerous animals."

Faith nodded dubiously, and suddenly, she heard the commotion of students coming from the vanguard fleet.

Not long after, the white mist covering everything in front of my eyes gradually faded away. On the endless black water, a brightly lit Gothic castle stood quietly on top of the huge rock. The orange-yellow lights that come out complement each other.

"Oh my god……"

The sight in front of them was enough to make any child living in the Muggle world lose his ability to think. Both children were too excited to speak, but they just firmly engraved this scene into their minds with their eyes.

All kinds of exclamations came from all around, until the boat gradually docked, the children's enthusiastic discussions did not stop.

But the long journey that followed succeeded in depriving them of their ability to speak—especially Feyse, starting from the church where the ship docked, and the stone stairs leading to the castle seemed to never end.

"This is simply torture..."

She didn't want to be left behind by the big troops, and she didn't want to be remembered by her future classmates as a mess before school started. She could only grit her teeth and follow Hermione, and she didn't even dare to grab the other's clothes—to prevent her legs Once soft, the two of them fell down together.

At the end, all she could see was the pair of leather shoes of the little lion, and the endless steps under her feet.

Just when Faise thought her impression of Hogwarts was about to freeze on this long road to school, the person in front finally stopped. She didn't even react for a moment, and was caught off guard.

Hermione, who finally stood still on the stairs, suddenly felt her back being bumped by someone behind her. Hermione turned her head worriedly, and hurriedly supported him, "Are you okay, Faith?"

Faith just waved her hands, panting heavily while leaning against the marble handrail. The only thought in her mind now was that when she went to school, she must invent a spell that would make people avoid walking up the stairs.

A witch in a dark green robe and a black pointed wizard hat clapped her hands. After the children all focused their eyes on her, she said solemnly, "Welcome to Hogwarts."

"After a while, you will pass through these doors and gather in the auditorium with other students who are already waiting inside. But before you can be seated, you must be assigned a college."

Hearing the news, Hermione took a deep breath, she seemed a little uneasy, but she soon calmed down again.

Unable to stop the restless children, the professor continued, "In Hogwarts there are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin, these four houses..."

"God bless, it must be Gryffindor!"

The little lion unconsciously ravaged his wizard robe, and he still didn't forget to repeat the spell he had just reviewed on the train.

Faith beside her asked curiously, "Hermione, why are you so obsessed with Gryffindor? The professor just said that each college has its own glorious history, and it's the same wherever they are assigned."

"Of course it's not the same!" Hermione knew her voice was too loud as soon as she uttered the words - the professor standing above even paused, glanced at her, and quickly lowered her voice to explain.

"Our current headmaster, the greatest wizard ever, Albus Dumbledore, graduated from Gryffindor, and the atmosphere and characteristics of different colleges are different. Gryffindor symbolizes bravery, hey Chippuffs are integrity, Ravenclaws are wisdom, Slytherins are ambition, but that last house..."

Hermione looked around, leaned closer to Faise and said, "A lot of information says that the students of Slytherin are subordinates of the mysterious man."

Faith couldn't help frowning when she heard this, she shook her head at Hermione, "Don't think too much, Slytherin shouldn't be all bad guys, and my father is also a student of Slytherin."

"I'm sorry." Realizing his slip of the tongue, the little lion hurriedly apologized to Faise, "I accidentally forgot..."

"It's okay, besides... In fact, Dad also mentioned in his diary that he doesn't like the style of some Slytherin students very much." Faith waved her hand indifferently, she knew that Hermione did not mean anything malicious.

"Actually, I think Hermione likes reading so much, don't you..."

A boy's voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two of them - the professor had already finished his introduction and left when they were whispering, and his tone revealed a little interest and arrogance.

"It seems that what they said on the train is true, Harry Potter is coming to Hogwarts."

Chapter 28

Witnessing a toe-scratching scene of recruiting people, the arrogant blond boy was naturally rejected by Mr. Savior after provoking Ron on the side with abusive words.

Does he really not know that speaking like this will really be annoying?

Faith shook her head helplessly, as did Mr. Hank before. If they really thought they were superior, why would they come to this school to attend classes?

Moreover, there is no actual evidence to prove that pure-blood wizards are better than half-blood wizards or Muggle-born wizards. Their self-righteousness is worthless except that the family will eventually be unable to continue-this is Apettos In the notes, the evaluation of this old-fashioned concept of his family.

Coincidentally, the professor who went to confirm the situation in the auditorium came back, she touched the blond boy with a parchment, and under the baptism of those sharp eyes, he could only return to the line resentfully.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to give the two boys who made him look ugly, although this move only made him more embarrassed.

"That guy named Malfoy is really annoying," Hermione whispered in Faise's ear, "I think he must be a Slytherin... By the way, what did you want to tell me just now, Faith?" ?”

The little guys in school uniforms have already arrived at the entrance of the auditorium under the leadership of the professor, and the door with intricate patterns is automatically opened with a "squeak".

The interior of the auditorium is very spacious, with many candles floating in mid-air, teachers and the headmaster are sitting in the guest seat at the front, and students from different colleges are sitting on the four long tables—from left to right are Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, they are looking at the new little guys with curious eyes.

Being stared at by so many people, Faith felt a little nervous for a moment, she leaned closer to Hermione, "I just think you like books so much, shouldn't you symbolize the wise Ravenclaw?"

"But I don't want to be regarded as a nerd by others," the little lion shrugged indifferently, "Besides, there is no rule that if you like reading, you can't be a Gryffindor."

"Hermione, be gentle!" Faise tugged on her cloak and looked around anxiously. Fortunately, the children around were all immersed in watching the magnificent ceiling, and no one heard what she just said.

Hermione looked helplessly at Faise, who was like a disturbed little hamster. Although she couldn't understand why her friends always made a fuss about such things, she still changed the topic and introduced it seriously.

"This night sky isn't real, it's the ceiling that has been enchanted." Hermione pointed to the top of their heads, "It was mentioned in "Hogwarts: A School History", Faith you do you remember?"

"Well, but the feeling of actually seeing the real thing is even better than imagined."

Faith put back on the glasses that had been in her pocket all the time—she took them off because of the fog when she was on the boat, and said with admiration.

"Oh, bumpkin."

A girl with bob hair put her hands on her chest, heard the conversation between the two people in front of her, and said mockingly, "Do you think you can show off after reading a little book?"

"you!"

The little lion was about to go into a fit when he heard this, but Faith hurriedly dragged her behind her.

She said to the dark-haired girl seriously, "Don't take your ignorance as modesty. If you have any good ideas, you might as well talk to the person who wrote this book."

After finishing speaking, regardless of the girl's staring eyes and her angry scolding, she directly pulled Hermione to take two quick steps to catch up with the vanguard.

"Why don't you let me speak, but you can..."

Hermione was clearly upset at not being able to hit back at the mean guy hard enough, her slender eyebrows were drawn together and her pout could have hung a water bottle on it.

"It's too embarrassing for us to run away like this, we should show her some color!"

"Oh, I just knew you were going to have a big fight with her, so I didn't let you speak," Faith noticed that Hermione was really unhappy, and hurriedly explained.

"Mr. Principal told me before entering the school that not all wizards are polite. You just entered school and don't know them well. If you say something bad, what if they unite to bully you in the future?" manage?"

"You can't always think that I can't even handle this little thing well!"

Hearing this, Hermione's brown eyes widened, and her remaining rationality made her lower her voice. If it wasn't for the fear that the other party might not hear her, she really wanted to get away from this annoying guy right away. Far away!

"You too, and mom too! You always think that I can't speak, but I just don't want to be like you. I don't want to deal with everything... You don't think about how to really solve it, you just give in blindly !"

After venting, the little lion's face flushed red. Fortunately, the whole team stopped at this time, and no one noticed the commotion between the two.

They stood directly in front of the guest seat, and there was a small bench with a strange hat in front of them. Principal Dumbledore, who was sitting in the main seat, stood up and announced the precautions for the start of school for everyone.

Hermione glanced at Faise beside her who was hesitating to speak, turned her head and moved two steps to the side, a large space was instantly vacated between the two who were almost close together.

With a headache, Faith raised her hand and rubbed the space between her brows.

If you can solve it properly, of course I am willing to let you do it, but every time you make trouble, it is you who suffer in the end...

Faise could only think about these words in her heart, and she couldn't say them out. She knew very well that Hermione had a stronger sense of justice and responsibility than others, which was why she liked getting along with her.

But this does not mean that the other party has a stronger ability to resist stress, especially when encountering her impulsive personality and extremely poor perception of words and expressions, it is likely that her good intentions will be misunderstood or taken advantage of by someone with a heart.

Forget it, as long as I look at it a little bit, there shouldn't be any major problems...

Faise sighed in her heart, she could already foresee that her campus life would not be so smooth.

But that's all for the future, and now she still has a big problem to solve, she carefully looked at Hermione who was listening to the principal's speech absently.

It just so happened that the other party's gaze also glanced over at this time, and Faise noticed that she and Hermione were looking at each other, and quickly cast a pitiful little look at her.

"Humph."

The little lion only hummed softly, then turned his head immediately, pretending that he was listening carefully.

------------

The author's words:

A very interesting thing happened today

Recently, the entire library has been immersed in a tense atmosphere for postgraduate entrance examinations. I was the only one holding a Harry Potter encyclopedia that I just got today, and managed to grab a seat with a socket with great difficulty.

It’s really super thick... almost catching up with the Civil Code (￣△￣;)

I went out for a stroll in the middle of the code words, and when I came back, a senior was standing in front of my desk. She was also embarrassed when she saw me coming back, so she said, "Are you planning to apply for this exam?"

Me: "Muggles can't see Hogwarts..."

Chapter 29 The Sorting Hat

The principal who was speaking on the stage seemed to have mentioned several restricted areas in the school, but Faise was concentrating on how to calm the sulking little lion, so these words 'swish' passed through her ears, Not even a chance to brainstorm.

Faith shrugged indifferently, this is Hogwarts, what danger could there be?Could it be that Death Eaters still appeared in the school? Even Hermione couldn't have picked up a horse-shaped water monster for her to raise...

The most important question now is how to make the other party willing to talk to me. According to my many years of "breeding experience", in fact, the cub's temper has always come and gone quickly. As long as I apologize sincerely, she will definitely be able to listen to it. of.

It's just the current situation...

She sneaked a glance at the professors sitting on the podium. Everyone had solemn expressions on their faces. If she made a big noise and interrupted Mr. Principal's speech, the scene would be really...

I hope that some owls will come and take her away at that time, anyway, she will definitely not be able to stay in this school.

While Faith was still working on her mental construction, Dumbledore had finished speaking and sat down, and the professor who brought them in just now began to announce the method of sorting.

It seems that they only need to step onto the stage one by one, let their heads be tasted by that weird hat, and it will automatically report the most suitable college for them.

So are all the books I read this summer in vain?

When Faise heard the news, she felt a little dumbfounded, and she didn't know whether she should be happy or disappointed.

She looked at the culprit who caused her "enrichment" vacation. Obviously, grades cannot be used to determine the impact of the academy, which made Miss Granger visibly anxious. She tiptoed over the crowd and looked at the top The strange hat placed on the chair, the extremely serious expression, seems to be trying to study some rules before sorting himself.

Thankfully she won't have to sit through a grueling exam, but that also means she doesn't have much time left.If you can't explain it to Hermione now, in case they are not sorted into a house, then the two of them will probably not see each other all night.

And to be honest, Faise felt that they might not be assigned to a college...
