Chapter 6 Sorting Ceremony

"It's just a fire spell. I cast other spells just like you!"

Lynn shook his head and said.

Fred and George just nodded without asking.

Talents like this for a specific magical power often come from blood, and this involves personal privacy. Fred and George have no idea of ​​exploring other people's privacy.

Soon, the long journey was spent by the three of them studying. As the sun set, the train also slowed down.

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train and we will take you to school."

The voice of the radio echoed in the box.

The Weasley twins immediately closed their notebooks on the table and each took out their wands from their arms.

"The wizard's robe is coming!"

"The wizard's robe is coming!"

The two of them cast the flying spell at the same time, summoning their wizard robes from the pile of luggage in the corner of the box.

As soon as the Weasley twins turned around, the wizard's robes were put on them.

Lin En also closed the "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Magic Texts" in his hand, took out the wizard's robe from his backpack, and used the floating spell to control it and put it on himself.

"Lynn, is your backpack cast with the Traceless Stretching Charm?"

Only then did Fred realize that Lynn had no other luggage except the backpack in his hand, so he asked curiously.

Lynn nodded.

At this time, the train stopped, and the little wizards rushed towards the door.

The Weasley twins also pulled Linn and squeezed towards the car door.

Soon, the three of them left the train and descended to a dark and small platform. The cold air that hit their faces made the Weasley twins shiver.

Not far away, a lamp was switching over the heads of the little wizards, and a tall figure shouted loudly: "First-year students! First-year students, come over here!"

This was a tall man with a full beard and a moleskin coat. His unusual figure made him stand out among the young wizards.

Yes, this tall gentleman is Rubeus Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts.

"Go, see you in the castle auditorium later!"

Fred patted Lynn on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Linn said goodbye to the Weasley twins and headed in the direction of Hagrid.

"I am Rubeus Hagrid, Keykeeper and Gamekeeper of Hogwarts. Follow along!"

said Hagrid in his gruff voice.

The little wizards followed Hagrid down a steep and narrow path. It was dark all around, and the stars in the sky were not enough to illuminate the road here.

Upon seeing this, Linn gently waved his wand, and a small ball of flame rose out of thin air amidst the exclamations of all the young wizards. It hung steadily in the air and illuminated the path forward for the young wizards.

Hagrid, who was holding a dim oil lamp, was stunned for a moment, then praised: "Beautiful fire spell! Little wizard, what is your name?"

Linn saluted Hagrid gracefully and said: "Lynn Rohr, Mr. Hagrid!"

Hagrid patted Linn's shoulder hard to encourage him. The terrifying force made Linn almost fall over.

Since Hagrid was far away from Linn just now, he just thought that Linn's voice of chanting the spell was relatively quiet. He didn't know that Linn was casting the spell silently, otherwise he would never be so calm.

At the end of this narrow path, there is a black lake. On the hillside on the other side of the lake stands a majestic and ancient castle. There are many spiers on the castle, and the windows are shining in the faint starlight.

There are rows of boats moored on the shore of the lake. These boats are used to welcome new students.

"There can be no more than four people in each boat!" Hagrid pointed at the boats and shouted to the little wizards.

Hearing this, the little wizards immediately crowded towards the boat.

Linn stood there and waited until all the other little wizards got on the boat. Then he extinguished the flames in the sky and took a boat with Hagrid, who was also last.

The boat rowed across the mirror-like lake and headed towards the majestic castle.

When the front boat approached a cliff, Hagrid shouted: "Lower your head!"

In fact, except for Hagrid himself, no one else would touch the cliff even if they didn't lower their heads.

Soon, a group of young wizards arrived at the castle, and Linn also returned to the ranks of these first-year students.

Hagrid stepped forward and knocked three times with his huge fist on the castle's oak door.

The door was opened, and a witch wearing emerald green robes stood at the door with a serious face.

"The first years are all here, Professor McGonagall," Hagrid said.

"Thank you, Hagrid!" Professor McGonagall nodded and opened the door completely to let the little wizards in.

Professor McGonagall led the little wizards along the stone paved floor of the castle, and finally came to an empty room.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said. "The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you take your seats in the auditorium, you need to confirm which house you will enter. Sorting is a very important task. An important ceremony, because while you are at school, the House is like your home at Hogwarts. You will attend classes with other students in the House, stay in the House dormitories together, and spend time together in the House Common Room. Spare time."

"The names of the four houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has its own glorious history and has cultivated outstanding wizards. You are in Hog During your time at Watts, your outstanding performance will earn your house extra points, while any violations will cause your house to lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the highest score will win the House Cup, which is very high. honor. I hope that no matter which college you are assigned to, you can bring glory to the college."

After giving the welcome speech, Professor McGonagall led everyone through the foyer and then through a double door to the auditorium.

Arrive at the highest city in the world, Litang (Auditorium)!

Lin En thought silently in his mind as he came to the end of the line.

At this time, young wizards from all grades in the four major colleges were sitting around four long tables. Thousands of candles were floating above the tables, and stars were twinkling on the velvety black ceiling. It makes the entire auditorium more beautiful and magnificent.

Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward and placed a pointed wizard's hat on a four-legged stool.

The hat was patched and worn, and as dirty as if it had just been picked out of a trash heap.

This hat is naturally the sorting hat that determines the belonging of every little wizard. I saw the sorting hat twisting in the auditorium as if no one was watching, and the big gap like a big mouth made an unpleasant singing sound. .

The sorting ceremony has begun!
