Chapter 8
The four of them laughed and laughed all the way.
As night fell, the train stopped at the crude platform of Hogsmeade.
Peter separated from Cedric without noticing, and the group followed the giant Hagrid stumbling down the path.
After climbing over the hill and seeing the huge castle on the lakeshore in the distance, all the new students couldn't help but feel a sense of worship. Peter York swore that this was the largest castle he had ever seen, standing like a hill on the shore of the Black Lake.
Peter York got on a boat with the twins and a beautiful girl with a decidedly Gryffindor personality, while Cedric got on another boat.
The boat moved forward on its own amidst the surprised eyes of everyone, passed through the bottom of the cliff covered with green leaves, arrived at the underground of the castle, and climbed up the stone steps.
Cedric caught up between Peter and the twins and breathed a sigh of relief:"I finally found you! I was separated from you just now in a daze!"
The twins smiled and pulled him up, and the four of them followed him by the sea. Behind Ge.
Hagrid led a group of young wizards to a huge oak door and knocked on the wood with his big hands.
"Professor McGonagall, the new students are here."Hagrid said respectfully when he saw Mag wearing a pointed hat and square glasses appearing behind the door.
"Thank you, Hagrid! Okay, freshmen, follow me."Professor McGonagall looked serious.
Peter York and other freshmen followed her to the other end of the inner hall, into a small empty room.
"The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you sit down, you must first determine which school you will enter. The schools are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. What are you going to do next? They have to study and live together for seven years. Students who perform well can get extra points for the college......."
After recounting the college situation, some requirements for the new semester, and the College Cup, Professor McGonagall led the freshmen into the hall in a row.
Peter was pulled to the front by the naughty twins. His outstanding appearance attracted the attention of a large number of people, especially the aristocratic temperament involuntarily revealed from his body, which attracted the attention of the Slytherin table;
Peter York curiously looked at the candles floating in the sky and the ceiling that had been magically turned into a night sky, and repeatedly sighed at the wonder of magic.
The freshmen stood together uneasily. Professor McGonagall held an old hat in one hand and used a wand to conjure a four-legged bench with the other, and took out a roll of parchment.
"Now the student whose name is called comes forward and puts on the sorting hat. He will assign you to the corresponding college."
"First up, Alice Vick!"
A somewhat excited black-haired girl walked out of the freshmen group and sat on a stool.
"Ravenclaw!"The Sorting Hat screamed. In an instant, the girls took off their hats amidst the cheers of Ravenclaw and ran to their own houses.
The twins watched the freshmen being sorted into different houses. Although they were nervous, they were still Not forgetting the funny attribute,"Oh, George, if we were assigned to different colleges, you would still be the person I love most."
"Oh, dear Fred, if you get sorted into Slytherin, I'll tell Merlin to bless you because Mum will send you howler letters"
"May Merlin bless you!"The two of them comically made the sign of the Christian cross on their chests, and then acted as if they were willing to die generously.
These two treasures kept Peter in a happy mood. He patted the two of them on the shoulders and comforted them:"Looking at you, you will definitely die. He is a Gryffindor student, there is no doubt about it. And your family has been Gryffindor for generations, so you don’t have to worry about being sorted into another house.
The twins felt a little more relaxed after hearing this, and then asked,"Peter, which college will you go to?" How about coming to Gryffindor so we can live together. Peter
York shook his head,"My personality is not suitable for Gryffindor. I may be sorted into Ravenclaw or Slytherin." Of course we are still friends, right?"
The twins nodded. They never like to follow rules. Even if Peter York is assigned to Slytherin, he is still their friend. Thinking about having a Slytherin friend, they instantly feel cool.
Cedric is the same. With a nervous look on his face, he said:"Peter said I would enter Hufflepuff! It would be great if I could be in the same college as you!
Peter patted him on the shoulder and said,"We are in different colleges, but we are still good friends!" We can even invite each other to visit our own colleges later!"
Cedric relaxed a little after hearing this, and then heard Professor McGonagall shouting"Cedric Diggory! Please come forward!", he was so nervous that he couldn't speak for a moment.
Peter pushed Cedric who was stunned on the spot and asked him to go up and put on the sorting hat.
Cedric Diggory walked forward with hands and feet, and then sat on the stool on, and was put on a worn-out Sorting Hat.
"Hufflepuff!"The Sorting Hat thought for a while and then announced directly.
The houses on the far right table applauded enthusiastically and welcomed this handsome boy to join.
Cedric glanced at Peter and the twins, and then ran to the Hufflepuff Head. On the table.
It was George and Fred's turn, and sure enough they both entered Gryffindor, and the twins hugged each other excitedly.
And the red-haired sixth-year Charlie Weasley, and the third-year Percy Weasley Lai, they all applauded happily for their brother entering Gryffindor.
"Peter York!"
