Chapter 24: Sorting hat (modified, typos have been revised)

　　 A group of nervous little wizards followed Professor McGonagall’s steps into the hall one by one.
　　 This is really a magical and magnificent place. Classmates in other grades of the college are already sitting around four long tables. Candles are arranged neatly above the table and floating in the air to illuminate the dining room. Alan has been worried about whether it will be burned by the dripping wax and slightly raised his head to pay attention to the movement above his head. But obviously he was over-concerned, not a drop of wax dripped.
The students in other grades of the college are already sitting on four outrageously-looking wooden tables with glittering gold plates and goblets. There is another long table on the top table of the dining room, which is the teachers. Seats.
The most surprising and magical thing is the roof. I saw the velvety black ceiling glittering with stars, which looked exactly like the quiet night sky. The ghosts were also mixed in with the students, shining dimly, and Harry heard them. A little girl with shaggy hair and big front teeth not far from her side said domineeringly to her companion: "Spells were cast here, and it looks like the sky outside. I was in Hogwarts, a school history. "I have read about it."
　　 Professor McGonagall gently put a four-legged stool in front of the freshmen, and then put a top wizard hat on the stool. The hat was patched, worn out, and very dirty.
　　 Suddenly the hat began to sing a song, and all the freshmen were shocked.
　　 After the magic hat sang the song, there was thunderous applause in the audience. The magic hat bowed to the four dining tables one by one, and then stood still.
Then, Professor Gang McGonagall took a roll of parchment and clicked on a name, and the corresponding child was placed on the four-corner stool. The hat quickly or slowly called out the college they were assigned to. The long table in the auditorium occasionally Applause broke out, and the original uniform and robe of the little wizard who was successfully sorted out instantly showed some of the academy colors and decorations of his academy. (Author's note: The color change here uses the setting of the official mobile game "Hogwarts Mystery", which I personally think is more magical.)
　　 And Allen deliberately lost his mind before the start of the sorting, avoiding the name of the ruddy-faced girl with two golden braids who was assigned to Hufflepuff when she heard the sorting first place.
　　Flig Brown was also assigned to Gryffindor, which did not surprise Allen. Flig may not be smart enough, but he has never lacked courage and justice.
　　 "Alan Harris." Not long after Hermione Granger was assigned to Gryffindor, Allen walked calmly to the four-corner stool, hoping he could fool the self-proclaimed thinking hat.
　　 When the dirty hat was buttoned on Alan’s soft light blond hair, Alan held the hat a little uncomfortably, trying to keep the dirty hat away from the skin on his face.
"Well, very talented. I felt the magical power sprayed out. This is very rare for a little wizard of your age. You are calm and not impetuous. You are not in a hurry to know the college you are about to be assigned, nor I am eager to express my opinion, which college should I assign you to? Wait! You learned the brain before you enrolled... Hey, no! You are passionate about the accumulation of knowledge, the pursuit of wisdom, and the desire to explore the unknown The world is wandering in the ocean of knowledge. Then you should be assigned to—"
　　 "Ravenclaw!"
　　 There were some polite applause in the auditorium, but the few senior sisters on Ravenclaw applauded very sincerely, at least there was a handsome boy in their fascinating college.
Reluctantly, Alan, who was barely able to see what he wanted to reveal, looked a little pale, and when he walked to the long table belonging to his academy a little bit weakly, he was relieved that he successfully lied to the sorting hat and did not let the sorting hat detect him. The secret of rebirth, but he was worried that the Sorting Hat’s suspicion of his Occlumency would draw Dumbledore’s attention. Although this old bee had a good purpose, he would use them regardless of the feelings of others.
　　Until-Harry Potter's name rang in the auditorium!
　　 are whispering everywhere, crowded, wanting to see the undead boy who defeated the mysterious man in the legend.
Harry looked very nervous at this time. He closed his eyes and sat on the stool with his hands clasped tightly on the edge of the stool. His mouth was still babbling. He stayed on the stool for a long time before the hat yelled. --Gryffindor.
　　 "We got Potter! We got Potter!"
　　 The cheers on the long Gryffindor table resounded throughout the auditorium, and they all shook hands with Harry and were proud of it.
　　 When Ron was becoming the penultimate person, he was also assigned to Gryffindor. His brothers were particularly happy to applaud wildly, which eased his blue complexion.
Allen looked at the long table next door. Harry and Floyd were looking at him with regret. Allen thought it would be okay. Although he followed his father's instructions and contacted Harry in advance, as long as he was not excessive in school Contacting him is just such a normal communication, as long as you don’t let Dumbledore feel that he will have too much influence on that prophecy. If you want to come to the world’s greatest white wizard, you will not interfere too much or personally in your future. Just make choices for yourself.
After all, when he arrived at Hogwarts and came to the magical world, Alan planned to live his own life instead of being influenced by the so-called protagonist. He didn't mean to hide in the classroom. Only by acting well can he gain more advantages than others. , Teachers always like to give the green light to top students, don’t they?
　　 "Do you know Harry Potter over there?" A lazy voice suddenly sounded around him.
　　 "Yes." Allen didn't explain too much, retracted the gaze that Harry and the others met, and turned to look over.
The owner of 　　's voice is a teenager with brown hair, fair skin, and a few mischievous freckles on both sides of his cheeks, and thick dark circles under his eyes.
　　 "Did you not sleep last night?" It is indeed strange that such thick dark circles appear on the energetic young man. Allen asked unconsciously.
　　 "Yes, I always don't get enough sleep." The boy's brown eyes were full of exhaustion, and they were also full of sincerity.
　　 "My name is Alan Harris, I am glad to meet you." Alan stretched out his hand.
　　 "My name is Edward, Edward Fox." Edward seemed to be in need of a bed, and his voice was erratic.
　　At this time, Albus Dumbledore stood up. He looked at the students with a smile on his face and stretched out his arms to them. It seemed that there was nothing that made him happier than seeing them all together. "Welcome!" He said, "Welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before the banquet, I want to say a few words. That is: idiot! Crying nose! Residual! Twist! Thank you everyone!" Sit down again. Everyone applauded and cheered. Unlike the whispers of other colleges, some Ravenclaw students who know a little Latin are explaining the meaning to others: "May Merlin bless you."
But the prefect Penello Krivat obviously disagrees: "Idiot: we Ravenclaw wizards and wizards are usually the smartest. As students of Rowena, we think that there are no students who have entered Ravenclaw. They are all stupid fools; crying nose: the term crying nose is also usually used to refer to "fat". Unfriendly children use this term to insult and despise the fatter and poorer peers. Most of the Gryffindor students I think I am brave and think that students from other colleges are not as brave as they are; Residue: This term also refers to the scraps of cloth, and the area is small, and can no longer be used to make useful objects. Slytherin students are pure blood Supporters, value integrity and unity. The students of other colleges are not pure wizards in the eyes of Slytherins, they are useless scraps.? Twist: Hufflepuff students are not in touch with the first three , There are a lot of little wizards who are not smart or brave and are born with mixed blood and Muggles, but they can always screw everyone together."
After hearing Penello’s explanation, Allen couldn’t help but look at this pretty-looking senior sister a few more times. Based on her analysis, Alan thought:
Dumbledore’s intention is to remind students of different colleges to avoid prejudice and unite. …But the old bee didn’t do this by himself. Fortunately, I was not assigned to Slytherin."
　　 At this time, Allen noticed that Edward's eyes suddenly widened. It turned out that the long table in front of them was full of food. Roast beef, grilled chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding, pea sprouts, carrots, gravy, tomato sauce, and for some strange reason, there are Mint hard candies.
　　 A large number of delicious food suddenly enlivened the atmosphere, and everyone looked forward to it and it was very pleasant. Perhaps the relaxation after tension will increase appetite, and the students' appetite seems to be good, but Allen lamented in his heart: "It seems that even German food is not easy to eat now."
　　 Finally, when the dessert pudding disappeared, Professor Dumbledore stood up again. The restaurant is also quiet again. "Oh, now everyone is full and drunk. I want to say a few more words to you. At the beginning of the semester, I want to make a few points for everyone to pay attention to..."
　　 "Attention first-year students, the woods on campus are forbidden to students. Some of our old classmates should also remember this." Dumbledore swept his shining gaze toward the Weasley twin brother.
　　 "Furthermore, Mr. Filch, the administrator, wants me to remind everyone not to use magic in the corridors between classes."
　　"The review of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of the semester. Anyone who is interested in joining the college team, please contact Mrs. Hooch.
　　 "Finally, I must tell everyone that anyone who does not want to suffer an accident or die in pain, please do not enter the corridor on the right on the third floor."
　　 There was laughter from the silent hall, among them was Harry’s laughter—the little wizards thought their headmaster was joking with them, and then they realized that most of the people around were not laughing...
　　 "Now, before everyone goes to bed, let us sing the school song together!" Dumbledore said aloud, and the expressions of all the teachers and most of the old students seemed to be more rigid.
　　 Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a long golden ribbon flew out of the wand, twisting and winding lines of text like a snake over the high dining table.
　　 "Everyone chooses the tune they like." Dumbledore said, "Get ready, sing!"
　　……
　　Finally, after the twins, who had just been watched by Dumbledore, used the funeral march tune to bring the already chaotic tune even further, everyone finally finished singing the school song and left the auditorium in line.
　　 I hope that Ravenclaw's dormitory will be very comfortable. Allen, who is a little dissatisfied with the food and school song, puts his hope on the accommodation conditions.
