Chapter 17 The Sorting Hat
A few minutes later, more and more ghosts began to appear in this small room, tall, short, fat, thin, and of all shapes and sizes, which really surprised the freshmen.
At first, these little wizards were really scared, but soon they found that these ghosts were not scary, but very friendly, and would greet everyone warmly.
Even in order to ease their nervousness, a ghost specially performed to them a small talent exclusive to ghosts, such as holding their heads with both hands.
"cool……"
Looking at the head flying up and down, someone couldn't help sighing.
"Thank you for the compliment, but I have something even cooler."
The ghost also seemed to be interested, and immediately threw his head out after speaking, then performed a gorgeous front flip and spun in the air for three and a half weeks, and finally landed and reached out to catch his head firmly.
The movement is smooth, the posture is elegant, and every landing point is accurate.
Not surprisingly, this set of actions immediately won the applause of everyone, even Kyle was no exception.
This kind of talent is usually rare.
Wonderful, really wonderful.
"Thank you, thank you everyone." The ghost walked around the field, bowed slightly to everyone, and said proudly: "Oh, did I forget to say, I just joined the Headless Hunter Club with this set of actions. Of course , I'm not showing off, I mean you all have good eyesight."
After that, the scene was completely heated up.
The little wizards all gathered around and booed him to make another one.
Ghost was not stingy either. Although he did not perform the difficult moves before, the continuous tricks also made everyone laugh.
"Ah."
But at this moment, a sneering sneer suddenly came from the side: "What's there to be proud of?"
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look over, only to realize that the one who spoke was also a ghost.
"I'm sorry, Sir Nicholas Popington." The headless ghost also recognized this colleague wearing a ruffled collar, and hurriedly said: "I just want to amuse the children, and there is no other meaning."
"Better so."
"Of course, and I sincerely hope the Jazz join the Headless Hunters this year."
Nearly Headless Nick gave the other a deadpan look before walking away through the wall.
Being interrupted by him like this, the headless ghost did not continue to perform, shrugged and said: "Okay everyone, you should also start sorting, so prepare well now, see you later."
After speaking, he went through the wall and went to the auditorium.
Although everyone felt it was a pity, they had no choice but to watch the headless ghost leave.
However, the atmosphere in the room did not drop much.
After watching the ghost show, everyone was very happy and looked forward to the next branch.
...except for Connor.
She was the only person in the room who didn't pay attention to the ghost show just now.
Until Professor McGonagall came back, the little girl shrank in a corner, her whole body was about to turn gray and white, and she was still exuding an aura called despair.
It's a pity that Professor McGonagall didn't notice this.
"I just left for a while, and you are in such a mess!"
She pursed her lips, looked at the group of freshmen below with a serious face, and said, "You can hear your laughter throughout the auditorium, is it that funny, or do you think sorting is a funny thing? "
Professor McGonagall's voice was not loud, but everyone was silent, and they all lowered their heads, not even daring to breathe.
It lasted for more than a minute before Professor McGonagall continued: "Remember, sorting is a very serious matter, please keep quiet.
Now, stand in a single file and follow me. "
As soon as the voice fell, everyone started to move, and they lined up in less than a minute, and then followed closely behind Professor McGonagall.
Kang Na was also among them, dragged by Kyle, and moved like a walking dead.
……
They walked out of the room, through the foyer, through a pair of double doors, and finally into the sumptuous auditorium.
Compared with the hall, the auditorium is more magnificent.
The entire auditorium was jaw-droppingly large, even though there were four long tables full of students, it didn't feel crowded at all.
There are luxurious gold plates and goblets on the table, and thousands of candles floating in the air illuminate the place brightly.
Further up, the velvety black ceiling is dotted with stars and clouds billowing, leaving the beholder dumbfounded.
Someone whispered to the companion beside him: "There is magic here, and it looks the same as the sky outside. I read about it in "Hogwarts, A School History."
Kyle looked around and found out that it was a boy who was talking, and then lost interest.
It's a pity, if he had entered school a year later, he should have become good friends with Hermione.
The crowd stopped when they reached the front of the auditorium.
Further up is the teacher's seat.
Dumbledore in a purple robe sat in the middle, his silver-white hair and beard neatly groomed.At this time, he was wearing the iconic pair of half-moon glasses, looking gently at each new student.
And sitting next to him is the Fourth Dean.
The shiny head of Slytherin, Severus Snape.
The short head of Ravenclaw, Filius Flitwick.
The nice-looking Head of Hufflepuff, Pomona Sprout.
As for the dean of Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall, because she is going to preside over the branch, her position is temporarily vacant.
Counting them, there were about [-] professors who came to the opening banquet today, but Kyle only recognized less than ten of them even after guessing, and the rest had no impression at all.
But this is normal, Hogwarts is so big, if there are only a few professors in his memory, it will not be enough no matter what he thinks.
What's more, half of the professors he knows are year-round, so the reduction will be even less.
……
Kyle looked away.
At this time, Professor McGonagall happened to be holding a four-cornered stool and placed it in front of the new students, and then put a patched brown pointed wizard hat on the stool.
Well, let’s say it’s brown.
Because the hat was so dirty, even though Professor McGonagall's movements were very light, a lot of dust was still stirred up the moment it fell.
Moreover, under the candlelight, there was still a gleam of light on the hat, which was obviously covered with pulp. It was basically impossible to see its original color under such circumstances.
Kyle can guarantee that if this hat is not the sorting hat and appears in his house again, then he and Chris will definitely die.
Or, they were both killed by Diana together.
A few minutes later, more and more ghosts began to appear in this small room, tall, short, fat, thin, and of all shapes and sizes, which really surprised the freshmen.
