Chapter 192 Ilvermorny
1993 year 9 month 1 day,
King's Cross Station, platform nine and three-quarters,
This year is quite special for the Weasley family.
Percy entered seventh grade, became Head Boy, and faced the NEWT (Ultimate Wizarding Test).
George and Fred were promoted to fifth grade. They did not become prefects (shameful!!! Emphasis!!!), and had to face the OWLS (Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination). This was basically the end of their academic qualifications. They His talent is not here.
Raven is in fourth grade, Ron is in third grade, and Ginny is in second grade.
"Fred, you two failed to protect your sister last year, and you wanted to let her fight in a duel.
It was Raven who took action. George, I have already told him, you must do your duty as a brother this year! do you know? "
Ms. Molly pulled Fred to talk, just like she pulled George last year.
"Mom, I'm George. That's what you told me last year, and Ginny took the initiative to fight with someone, and I didn't even stop her!"
"Come on, if you let me know that you didn't protect your sister, I will burn all your secrets!"
"Okay, ma'am, you caught me."
Fred raised his hands in salute, indicating that he understood.
Still the same as last year,
Raven gathered her friends in the carriage and jumped directly from the base space to the auditorium.
However, when they arrived at the auditorium, they were surprised to find that not only was the principal Dumbledore, but there was also an unknown guy on the teacher's seat.
And a little wizard has already arrived in the auditorium.
There are sixteen young wizards in this group, and they are all relatively young.
They all wore uniforms made of blue fabric with raspberry red trim. The school robes were fastened with golden Gordie knots. They had strange emblems on their chests. As a distinction, there were four types in total.
What surprised Raven the most was that there were quite a number of yellow-skinned wizards with black eyes and black hair among them.
Of course, he is not Qiu Zhang’s fellow countryman,
Combined with their uniforms, Raven had already guessed the origins of these little wizards.
Then Raven looked at the teacher's seat, a young man wearing aviator sunglasses and a leather jacket. He had three triangular moles on his left cheek and one on his left chin.
"Who is that?"
Jack came over quietly and asked,
Misty and Pappy also looked very interested.
Pabby looked at the young man first, then at Raven.
He looked like he was looking forward to Raven's answer.
Raven pursed her lips at the group of young wizards of different ages.
"Did those people over there see it?"
Pabbie and Misty looked over there, combined their own knowledge, and guessed,
"Where's the sister school?" "Branch branch?"
Jack was confused when he heard this, "Does Hogwarts have another branch?"
He is a pure Muggle, so it is normal not to understand this.
Raven then said in detail,
"In the 17th century, the descendants of Salazar Slytherin and her Muggle husband founded a wizarding school, Ilvermorny, on the top of Mount Greylock in western Massachusetts.
They have developed so far that they have become a strong competitor to the three major wizard schools in this century.
Did you see the school badges on their chests? "
Raven motioned for Jack to pay attention there,
Jack took a look and nodded,
"There seem to be 4 patterns. Are they copies of the four major colleges of Hogwarts?"
Jack gave a very stereotypical answer,
After all, anyone who sees such a pattern with the same elements will have this impression.
This time it was Misty who answered,
"Not entirely. The elements can match, but the traits cannot. The four major houses of Hogwarts correspond to the four elements, earth, wind, water, and fire."
Jack nodded and Misty continued,
"Earth, Correspondence, Goblin College of Hufflepuff and Ilvermorny"
"Wind, Correspondence, Ravenclaw and Thunderbirds of Ilvermorny"
"Water, corresponding to Slytherin and the Horned Water Snake House of Ilvermorny"
"Fire, Correspondence, Gryffindor and Ilvermorny"
"What's interesting is that Ilvermorny's college characteristics are always between the four major houses of Hogwarts.
such as,
Goblin College, also called the Inner College, prefers kind and noble healers, somewhere between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw.
Thunderbird Academy, also called Soul Academy, prefers those who love adventure, between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.
The Academy of the Horned Water Serpent, also known as the Academy of Wisdom, prefers readers who love reading, between Ravenclaw and Slytherin.
The Leopard School, also known as the Body School, prefers warriors, somewhere between Slytherin and Gryffindor. "
Jack thought for a while,
"It doesn't feel as clean and neat as Hogwarts Sorting House."
Pappy smiled and said,
"You can't say that. This is related to the difference in our branches. We are the Sorting Hat branch, which pays more attention to the potential and inner nature of wizards.
It is said that Ilvermorny was chosen by the college based on the behavior of the students.
It can only be said that the sorting at Hogwarts is more internal-oriented, while the sorting at Ilvermorny is more behavioral-oriented. "
The topic of several people did not continue.
Because this year’s entrance ceremony is about to begin, students are already entering the venue one after another.
Soon these people's eyes were also attracted by the group of visitors from Ilvermorny, and some of them recognized their uniforms.
But the purpose of this group of people's arrival was not clear.
But what is unstoppable is that the first thing every year is to be divided into different schools.
"Hufflepuff"
......
"Ravenclaw"
......
"Slytherin"
......
"Gryffindor"
......
There are no freshmen that need to be focused on this year.
So Raven's attention was focused on Dumbledore. The guy wearing sunglasses was probably this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
After the first-year students were sorted, Dumbledore knocked on the goblet and walked to the podium.
"This school year, a special group of guests will visit Hogwarts for study and exchange.
They are students from the four major colleges, second grade, third grade, fourth grade and sixth grade of Ilvermorny College, and their leading teacher, Professor Salazar Stewart,
(The first grade is too young, and there are exams for fifth and seventh grade students.)
At the same time, Professor Stewart will also serve as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.
Let us welcome them with applause. "
When Dumbledore finished speaking, a series of applause sounded.
The students focused their attention on the professor wearing black aviator sunglasses.
Suspicious! This person is so suspicious!
You can't blame the students for overthinking it. In fact, one of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors last year and the year before last was an outstanding graduate and the other was a famous writer, a well-informed wizard. Even so, they were still dangerous.
And this year’s professor is simply from America, and he wears sunglasses at night, which is so weird!
The applause died down, and then Dumbledore continued,
"According to the tradition of Hogwarts, students from Ilvermorny are invited to be sorted into houses. This school year, you will study and live with students from Hogwarts."
"Gryffindor!"
"Hufflepuff!"
Sorting continues...
