Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 81: Opening Ceremony

Under the gaze of all the teachers and students in the school, the old wizard hat lying on the three-legged disabled square stool began its performance. The wide cracks opened and closed several times, as if searching for the tune it had forgotten.

The next moment, in front of the freshmen's surprised gaze, it began to sing loudly:

In the heart of the magical world,

Hogwarts stands tall and strange,

The four major colleges are famous.

Bravery, wisdom, resourcefulness and loyalty.

Gryffindor, the brave one,

The lion symbol shows majesty.

Courage and passion are like fire,

Unyielding in the face of evil forces.

Slytherin, House of Wisdom,

The snake logo hides a deep plan.

Outstanding intelligence and wit,

The magical world is showing its potential.

Hufflepuff, Loyally,

Badger bear is a symbol of sincerity and firmness.

Be diligent and fearless,

As friends, we will never leave each other.

Ravenclaw, Garden of Ingenuity,

The eagle flies high with lofty ambitions,

Wisdom is like a star that illuminates the universe.

Unique magical innovation.

The Sorting Hat sings,

The new students have long expectations in their hearts.

The glory of the four courtyards shines together,

Hogwarts forever.

Ah ha, in this magnificent castle,

Let my old hat listen to your voice,

Bravery, wisdom, ambition, or loyalty

Which college suits your talent?

When the hat finished singing, the whole audience burst into applause. It bowed to the four tables one by one, and then stood still.

This year, everyone sitting around the table looked at the freshmen's clear and ignorant eyes. The feeling was naturally different from last year when they were exhibited in front of everyone.

Professor McGonagall raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said solemnly to the little wizards who were huddled together like quails: "Now, the students whose names I read, please step forward, put on the Sorting Hat, and be assigned to your own house."

Everyone, senior students and faculty, was silent.

Professor McGonagall spread out the parchment, glanced at all the freshmen from behind her square glasses, lowered her eyes and began to call the roll.

"Paula Acosta!"

A little girl with a round face, brown skin, and short black hair who seemed to have Middle Eastern ancestry walked forward hesitantly. She was small in stature, and looked at Professor McGonagall blankly, not knowing what to do.

Professor McGonagall did not scold her, but just reminded her softly, "Ms. Acosta, you need to put the Sorting Hat on your head."

The little girl seemed to come to her senses all of a sudden, and quickly grabbed the tattered wizard hat on the stool and put it on her head. The wide hat covered her entire face.

She struggled for a moment, and seemed to want to tear the thing off her head with her hands, but just as she raised her hands and waved them in the air, they dropped again.

It must be the Sorting Hat that started talking in her ear.

After about half a minute, the Sorting Hat made up its mind and announced it to everyone.

"Hufflepuff!"

Wow! ! !

Sainz and all the other Hufflepuff students gave a warm round of applause to the new girl.

The little girl put down her hat and bowed respectfully to Professor McGonagall. After Professor McGonagall nodded in return, she quickly ran over here.

The head girl, Sheila, asked her to sit over, shook her hand, and spoke to her in a low voice.

Professor McGonagall called out another name the moment Acosta turned away.

"Marietta Edgemore!"

"Ravenclaw!"

"Cannon Bock!"

"Slytherin!"

"Katie Bell!"

"Gryffindor!"

"Cho Chang!"

“Ravenclaw!”

……

"Cormac McLaggen!"

"Gryffindor!"

……

The sorting was still going on, and the only two Asian faces in the audience couldn't help but look at each other.

When Qiu Zhang looked over, Sainz nodded and continued to discuss the education of the jumping bulb with Cedric.

It can be seen that Qiu herself has a much better foundation than a certain actor. She should indeed be a beautiful girl when she grows up. With the added bonus of her oriental face, it is no wonder that she will attract the attention of two Goblet of Fire Warriors at the same time in the original trajectory.

The sorting ceremony continued in an orderly manner. This class had three more students than the class of Seens, totaling fifty-one students.

Not long after, the sorting was completed, and Hufflepuff was still the winner in life, with 17 new students out of 51.

It can be predicted that this year, the school combination will still be Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw in one group, and the other two houses in another group.

As he thought about it, Sainz's thoughts went to the start date of school.

It's a coincidence that the first day of school at Hogwarts was a Friday, September 9st last year.

September 9st this year falls on a Saturday, so the freshmen will have another day to get familiar with the environment.

After discovering this situation, he went to look at the calendar for next year.

Coincidentally, next year, September 1991, 9, happens to be a Sunday!

It's bad luck for the savior, he is just unlucky and has to go straight to class the next day at the branch!

hey-hey……

After the sorting was over, Professor McGonagall signaled to everyone, picked up the Sorting Hat and stool, and turned to leave.

A tall and thin figure stood up from the big golden chair in the middle of the faculty table. He had a pair of half-moon glasses, an impressively crooked long nose, long hair that shone silver, and a silver-white beard the same color as his hair that was long enough to be tucked into his belt.

He is the greatest wizard of this century, Grand Master of the Order of Merlin, President of the International Confederation of Wizards, Chief Magician of the Wizengamot, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore!

"How exciting!" Dumbledore wiped his half-moon glasses and put them back on. "It's a new school year again, and this year there are so many new faces joining this ancient castle."

The headmaster looked at everyone with a smile, "Welcome! Welcome to so many energetic little wizards, and welcome everyone back to Hogwarts to study!

Before everyone enjoys their delicious meal, I have an important announcement to make.

Professor Quirrell, who succeeded Professor Gratton as the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at the end of last semester, asked me to postpone my professorial duties at the end of the semester.

He thinks he needs some time to gather more experimental experience so that he can pass on more correct things to you in the future.

His seriousness in academics makes me ashamed. I have no reason to hinder the pursuit of knowledge of a person with great ideals.

With this in mind, I have invited another old friend of mine, Fauzi Gutierrez, to teach everyone about Defense Against the Dark Arts.

You will surely have another bumper year!"

The elderly wizard known as Fauci Gutierrez stood up. Like Professor Rosario Gratton last year, he sat next to Snape.

Unlike the previous professor, Professor Gutierrez is younger than Professor Gratton, and at least his beard is not as white as the principal's.

Another thing to note is that this professor's clothing style is very similar to Professor McGonagall's, and his serious expression is exactly the same as that of the Gryffindor Headmaster.

It's obvious that this gentleman is not easy to deal with.

"Now!" Dumbledore clapped his hands. "Let us enjoy our meal!"

The next moment, the golden plates in front of everyone were instantly filled with mountains of various foods.

The party begins!
