After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

Dumbledore felt bitter inside. Although his Order of the Phoenix had many members, not many of them were rich.

The only two rich people are James Potter and Sirius Black. The former has already been sent, and the latter has already been imprisoned.

"Don't be afraid, Ron. I can lend you the money!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Harry Potter clenching his fists to encourage himself.

Harry...Harry himself didn't know what to think.

Anyway, he spoke in the heat of the moment.

All in all, he felt that he was also responsible for this matter. If he had not taken the initiative to talk to Malfoy and Selwyn, he would not have needed to introduce Ron's name. If he had not introduced Ron, Ron would not have laughed at Malfoy's name, and there would not have been any subsequent events.

Also, the domineering Malfoy and Selwyn really made Harry feel both familiar and unfamiliar.

The reason they felt strange was that he originally thought they were not that kind of people.

It was familiar because that was how his aunt's spoiled son Dudley bullied him.

"Okay - why not?" Draco said in a long voice, "Next time it won't be so simple!" It was really unlucky. He was very happy on his first day at Hogwarts, but a troublemaker like Ron Weasley showed up!

……

After the farce was over, the freshmen finally lined up and marched into the auditorium in a mighty procession, ready to begin the sorting ceremony.

The teachers and students who had been sitting in the auditorium were very curious about what was happening outside, but unfortunately no one was willing to satisfy their curiosity.

The dome of the auditorium was under a spell, and it looked like the night sky, with countless candles standing in the air. Many of the freshmen were so surprised that their mouths opened wide.

At the front of the crowd was a chair with a dirty hat on it.

Don’t even mention how dirty this hat is. It looks like it will fall apart if you shake it.

Professor McGonagall stood beside the chair and began to go through the process, "Now, before we begin, Headmaster Dumbledore has a few words to say."

Dumbledore and Snape had returned to their seats long before the first students entered.

Hearing Professor McGonagall's cue, Dumbledore stood up.

"I would like to announce a few things that must be paid attention to in the new semester: First-year students, please note that students are strictly prohibited from entering the Forbidden Forest. In addition, our administrator Mr. Filch asked me to remind everyone that if you don't want to die miserably, do not enter the corridor on the right hand side of the third floor. Thank you."

Many of the senior students sitting in the seats were giggling, while most of the freshmen looked nervous and intimidated.

At this moment, the dirty hat on the chair suddenly twisted, and a wide crack appeared on it, looking like a mouth.

Then the hat began to sing in full view of everyone.

"You may think I'm not pretty,

But never judge a book by its appearance,

If you can find a prettier hat than mine,

I can eat myself.

You can make your bowler hat black and shiny,

Let your high silk hats shine and stand straight,

I am the Sorting Hat at Hogwarts,

Of course it is taller than your hats.

Any hidden thoughts in your mind,

No one can escape the golden eyes of the Sorting Hat.

Take it and try it, and I'll tell you.

Which college should you be assigned to.

You may belong to Gryffindor, where there is courage buried deep in your heart,

Their courage, spirit and chivalry are what make Gryffindors outstanding;

You may belong to Hufflepuff, where people are honest and loyal,

Hufflepuff students are stoic and honest, and are not afraid of hard work;

If you have a sharp mind, maybe you'll go to wise old Ravenclaw,

Those who are wise and learned will always meet their colleagues there;

Maybe you will join Slytherin and make sincere friends here,

Those cunning and sinister people will stop at nothing to achieve their goals..."

"It turns out that all we have to do is put on a hat. I thought we would be subjected to a severe test." Draco breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Yang Mei.

Professor McGonagall held the list of freshmen: "When I call your name, please come forward and I will put the Sorting Hat on you, which will assign you to a house."

The freshmen were called one by one in alphabetical order of their surnames.

After that, Professor McGonagall will let the new students sit down on the chair and put the hat on their heads.

Sometimes it takes a few seconds, sometimes it takes a minute or two, and the Sorting Hat will loudly announce the house to which the freshman belongs.

Harry Potter was indeed quite impressive. After the Sorting Hat announced that he was sorted into Gryffindor House, the students sitting at the Gryffindor table shouted like monkeys, "We have Potter, we have Potter!"

Until it was finally Yang Mei's turn.

Professor McGonagall shouted, "Phoenix Selwyn!"

Yang Mei was undoubtedly also the focus of attention, not only because of his family background, but also because of his exceptionally exquisite and flawless appearance, as well as the outstanding magical abilities he demonstrated in front of everyone.

At this time, the only ones who had not been sorted were Yang Mei and Blaise Zabini.

Yang Mei walked forward, but was reluctant to sit down on the chair.

Professor McGonagall was worried that he was going to do something strange again: "Mr. Selwyn, is there a problem?"

Yang Mei's eyes were tangled: "Yes."

Professor McGonagall's heart skipped a beat, but before she could ask, Yang Mei spoke again.

"Mr. Hat, do you mind if I give you a bath?" Although it was a question, Yang Mei had already raised her wand.

Fortunately, the Sorting Hat did not object to Yang Mei's request to give it a bath, and was even a little impatient.

After two spells, the hat looked brand new.

Yang Mei first looked at Dumbledore in reproach, then sat down on the chair and put on her hat.

"Uh... have the new students learned Occlumency so well now?" The Sorting Hat's complex voice sounded in Yang Mei's mind.

"How is that possible? Did you use brain closure on all the people in front of me just now?" Yang Mei asked back.

"That's right." The Sorting Hat said a little foolishly, "But how can I sort you into a new house like this?" It has not forgotten its job.

"Of course you have to put me in Slytherin. If you put me in another house, I will show you how to get expelled from school on the spot."

The Sorting Hat felt threatened like never before, but seeing how cunning this brat was, it was just right to sort him into Slytherin!

"Slytherin!"

There was loud applause from the Slytherin table.

The last one, Blaise Zabini, was successfully sorted into Slytherin.

The sorting is over and it's time to enjoy dinner.
