Chapter 17 Welcome to Ravenclaw

"Ravenclaw" The Sorting Hat finalized Aiden's final destination, and warm applause came from the Ravenclaw table.

Aiden took off his hat and trotted to the long table of Ravenclaw. A beautiful senior student extended his hand to him, "Hello, I'm Penelope Clearwater, your eyes are very special."

"Thank you, Aiden Prewett." Aiden shook Penelope's hand.

"I didn't expect you to be such a jerk. You stayed on the stage for twenty minutes. What does it feel like to be a jerk?" Penelope asked.

The little witches around heard their conversation and pricked up their ears.

"The hat told me that I was also suitable for the other three colleges, but in the end I faced my heart and chose Ravenclaw." Aiden replied with a smile.

"A wise choice. Ravenclaw is the best house." Penelope agreed.

Finally, the Sorting Ceremony came to an end. At the moment the Sorting was completed, Aiden felt that he had reached a wonderful resonance with the magic of the castle.

"system."

"Ding, yes, as the host thought, this is a ritual that constructs a powerful protective magic by reenacting events that have happened. After thousands of years of rituals in Hogwarts, the entire castle is almost alive."

"Ding, the act of harming students is expected to be fiercely attacked by the castle. This attack will flow out from the sea of ​​collective subconsciousness and spread to the real world. According to estimates, the strongest attack energy level can be comparable to Sequence One." The system bubbled up for the first time in a long time.

"That means that harming students in Hogwarts will be punished." Aiden was amazed.

“No wonder Voldemort planned for so many years but failed to take down even a school. It’s true that a demigod could fight against the King of Angels, but how did he kill Myrtle when he was in school?” It was a rare opportunity for the system to pop up, and Aiden didn’t intend to let it go.

"Ding, it is speculated that there are multiple factors. First, Voldemort himself is a student of Hogwarts, and the protective magic is also effective on him. Second, Voldemort has obtained the management authority of Slytherin. Third, the basilisk is the implementer and bears most of the attacks."

"I see."

Just when Aiden was chatting with the system, Dumbledore stood up and began his blessing.

"Welcome to Hogwarts! Welcome to the new school year! Before we begin the dinner, I would like to say a few words. Here is what I want to say: Idiot! Scum! Crybaby! Screw! Thank you."

After saying this, Dumbledore waved his hand and all kinds of food appeared on the table: roast beef, roast chicken, pork, lamb, sausages, bacon and steak, as well as boiled tomatoes, roast sweet potatoes, French fries, Yorkshire puddings, pears, carrot broth, ketchup, and mint-flavored hard candies.

"Oh, he looks a little crazy, doesn't he," Penelope said.

"Indeed." Aiden smiled and threw himself into the business of destroying the delicious food.

When everyone was enjoying the delicious food on the table, ghosts broke in and Headless Nick performed the separation spell at the Gryffindor table.

The ghost lady of Ravenclaw also floated onto the long table and observed the new little wizard.

"This is Ms. Grey," Penelope introduced.

"Hello Ms. Grey." Aiden greeted her.

“Hmph.” Ms. Grey saw Aiden’s face, turned her head and floated away.

"Did I offend her in some way?" Aiden asked puzzled.

"Who knows?" Penelope replied.

After eating and drinking, Dumbledore spoke again: "Now that everyone has finished eating, I will now make a few announcements for the start of the school year: No entry to the Forbidden Forest. Our caretaker, Mr. Filch, asked me to remind you that no magic is allowed in the corridors between classes."

"The Quidditch test will be held in the second week. Students who wish to participate on behalf of their residence should go to Madam Hooch to register."

"Finally, I must warn you. If you don't want to die miserably, don't go to the third floor corridor on your right within this year!"

"Now, let's sing the school song together."

The chorus at Hogwarts was indeed torture, at least Aiden couldn't stand it. He sang it with a hum, and Dumbledore was still moved by the music.

After the chorus ended, everyone left in an orderly manner. The class leader Eleanor Hawthorne led the little wizards to climb up to the fifth floor and came to the famous attraction, the Eagle Head Door Knocker. It was a pity that there was no camera, otherwise Aiden would have taken a few photos to check in.

Standing before the eagle-head door knocker, Eleanor Hawthorne introduced to the young wizards, "This is our Ravenclaw dormitory. It is different from the other two colleges, which can be opened with a password. The door knocker will ask you a question, and only those who answer correctly can enter. If you can't answer, I'm afraid you will have to wait outside for others."

"This is a unique romance of Ravenclaw. Anyone can answer the door knocker's question. Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw welcomes all intelligent people to visit Ravenclaw. Who wants to come and try now?"

Looking at the little wizards around him, it seemed that no one was going to go up, but Aiden still had to support Eleanor Hawthorne, so he walked out of the crowd.

When it came to the eagle-head door knocker, it asked, "What is the most precious thing, but also the most terrifying thing after getting it?"

Aiden thought for a moment and answered, "Life." Eagle-head door knocker: "That makes sense." The door leading to the lounge was opened.

"? So you don't have a correct answer either." Aiden silently complained about the eagle-head door knocker and walked into the Ravenclaw common room.

The decoration of the Ravenclaw common room is full of wisdom and mystery. The ceiling of the room is high and inlaid with twinkling stars, as if you are under the starry sky. The walls are covered with dark green silk cloth, embroidered with golden runes and patterns, emitting a mysterious light.

The surrounding bookshelves were filled with heavy books covering all manner of magical subjects and occult lore, and there were comfortable armchairs by the windows, which offered a great view of Hogwarts.

"You can take the books from the surrounding shelves at will, but remember not to damage the books, and remember to return them. Remember what Ms. Rowena said, we are ravens, and we greedily thirst for knowledge." Eleanor Hawthorne walked to the front and said to the little wizard.

"Okay, you can go to your dormitories by yourselves. Your luggage has been delivered to your dormitories by the house elves. Finally, I wish you all a happy study and life."

After saying goodbye to Eleanor, Aiden came to his dormitory, where his three roommates were already packing their belongings.

Aiden walked in and saw his three roommates. He knew their names instantly, but he pretended not to know and walked up to introduce himself.

"Hi, I'm Aiden Prewett."

"Edmund Lestrange, I know your name." The boy sitting on the bed introduced.

"Ethan Beckett, nice to meet you."

"Oliver Graves."

"Lestrange, is that it?" Aiden said to Edmund, with a probing look and using hints.

"Oh, yes, but my father was expelled from the family because he opposed them. After the liquidation, our family became the final heir of Lestrange." Edmund said casually.

"You guys, don't just talk about me."

"I am the last heir of the Prewett family." Aiden got a satisfactory answer, so he introduced himself.

"Hmm, another one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight." Edmund raised an eyebrow.

At this time Ethan spoke up, "My father is a Muggle and my mother is a wizard. When I received the notice, my father was terrified."

"I come from the Muggle world, and my parents are not wizards," Oliver finally spoke.

After a round of greetings, Aiden felt that it was getting late and suggested taking a rest. The dormitory soon became quiet.
