The freshmen didn't have to wait long before Professor McGonagall came back. She asked the freshmen to line up in a single file and then led everyone into the auditorium.
The auditorium of the college was very large, with four long tables filled with students. Hundreds of candles were floating above the heads of the people, illuminating the entire auditorium.
The candle flame is also some kind of magic fire, otherwise the picture of the candles dripping wax above the head would be too beautiful.
While all kinds of weird ideas were popping up in Albert's head, the team had already arrived in front of a bench with a dirty and torn hat on it.
It is said that this is the Gryffindor hat.
"I really hope they can clean the Sorting Hat properly." Albert was a little disgusted with the Sorting Hat because it was so dirty. Maybe it was because it had been there for a thousand years, or maybe no one had ever cleaned the hat.
I really can't stand it.
When Albert came to his senses, the Sorting Hat had already finished its usual opening song amid the applause of the crowd.
Professor McGonagall held a roll of parchment and began to call the roll and sort the students.
Of course, Albert was the first one to be named, because the first letter of his last name was "a".
In full view of everyone, Albert walked forward, sat on the chair, and let Professor McGonagall put the hat on his head.
"Not going to Slytherin, not going to Slytherin."
Although he knew that the possibility of going to Slytherin was very small, he still whispered a few words to prevent himself from accidentally falling into the pit.
"Well, it's difficult. You seem to be very courageous, not a bad person, talented, and not lacking in wisdom." The Sorting Hat asked softly, "Apart from Slytherin, where do you want to go?"
Albert was speechless. Did the Sorting Hat mean that he was suitable for any house except Slytherin
"Well, I guess you've made your choice, then..."
"Gryffindor." When the Sorting Hat called out Gryffindor, Albert knew what it meant by choice.
If the people he met in the carriage were not the twins and Li Jordan, but students from the other two colleges, he would probably go to another college.
The Sorting Hat finally made his choice.
After all, Albert still has to stay in the academy for seven years, and he doesn't want to become the original Hermione, who has no friends at all. How tragic that would be.
Of course, there are also night walks, and twins are undoubtedly the best night walk companions.
When the Sorting Hat called out Gryffindor, the table farthest to the left erupted in cheers.
However, the twins and Lee Jordan in the team couldn't help but open their mouths wide. They never expected that Albert would be sorted into Gryffindor.
Where's Ravenclaw
After Professor McGonagall took the hat away, Albert walked towards the direction of the cheers. The front row of the long table was vacant, obviously prepared for the freshmen.
When Albert walked over, several people stood up and shook hands with him. They had badges on their chests. They were probably class leaders or student union presidents.
He shook hands with each of them one by one and nodded in response with a smile.
The sorting ceremony was still going on. After the Sorting Hat called out Slytherin, Albert turned his attention back to the Sorting Hat. When Professor McGonagall read out Cedric Diggory, he looked at this minor supporting role in the novel with curiosity.
The other party is still a handsome boy, no wonder he is called a cream boy, but I don’t know if he will become a tragedy. After all, this time I have this little butterfly fanning the flames.
As expected, the Weasley twins were sorted into Gryffindor. A red-haired man was very happy and waved to the twins. Albert took a closer look and found that it should be the legendary Percy Weasley.
By the way, the Weasley twins were at the bottom of the list. After they were sorted into Gryffindor, the sorting ceremony ended. Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment, took the sorting hat and left, and the bench disappeared with it.
"Wow! We thought you would be sorted into Ravenclaw." Both the twins and Lee Jordan stared at Albert with exaggerated expressions, as if they were looking at some rare animal.
This person was not sorted into Ravenclaw. Is the Sorting Hat broken
"Is it strange?" Albert disagreed. "By the way, I just discovered a secret about the Sorting Hat."
"What secret?" Li Qiaodan asked curiously.
"It's no longer a secret if you tell it to them." Albert didn't intend to tell them, "This is also the reason why I was sorted into Gryffindor."
Albert's eyes swept across everyone's faces and he couldn't help but shake his head. "I explained it so clearly, but no one guessed it. Should I say that he really deserves to be called Gryffindor?"
However, no one paid attention to this so-called secret anymore. After the sorting, it was Dumbledore's turn to give a speech, and then everyone enjoyed a big meal.
"Welcome..." Dumbledore looked at the students with a big smile and stretched out his arms to them. "Welcome everyone to Hogwarts. The new semester has begun! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. They are: Idiot! Crybaby! Waste! Screw! "Thank you everyone!"
Just a few words really.
The gap, this is the gap!
Compared to those guys who talk a lot of nonsense, Dumbledore understands the minds of freshmen and knows that no one has the patience to listen to nonsense.
"Do you know what those words mean?" Albert turned his head and asked the class leader beside him.
The prefect who was questioned by Albert froze in expression, and he obviously didn't know how to answer the question.
At this moment, the prefect suddenly felt that what Weasley had just said was right. This guy should go to Ravenclaw instead of staying in Gryffindor.
"It seems that no one knows this, so we can only ask him himself?" Albert muttered. These few sentences are considered unsolved mysteries in the Harry Potter novels.
The people nearby twitched their lips when they heard this, and they didn't know what to say. Is this guy planning to ask Dumbledore directly
No Ravenclaw student has such a strong thirst for knowledge as you!
This is definitely an eagle hiding undercover among the lions.
Hey, someone come quickly and throw this guy to the next table!
Ignoring the strange looks from others, Albert fell into deep thought.
In my previous life, there were several explanations for these sentences on the Internet:
Rumor has it that the Latin meaning of those words is: May Merlin bless you.
Of course, some people also think that it is because the four colleges have different attitudes towards people.
Ravenclaw students think that anyone who is not in Ravenclaw is stupid.
Gryffindors think that others are not as brave as they are.
Slytherin students consider half-bloods or mudbloods to be useless scraps.
Hufflepuffs wish that students from other houses would adjust their ways.
As for what the truth is, Albert doesn't know either. Maybe he will have a chance to know the truth from Dumbledore.
boom!
Suddenly, lightning struck the roof of the castle, and the weather magic that was cast suddenly became ineffective.
This scene really scared everyone.
Dumbledore drew out his wand and cast a spell above his head. The lightning and thunder disappeared, the heavy rain also disappeared, and the sky above everyone's heads became a starry night sky again.
"Okay, the banquet begins." Dumbledore raised the spoon and tapped the cup. After announcing the start of the banquet, the plates on the table were instantly filled with food as if by magic.
