Chapter 12: sorting ceremony
As Henry is reading and remembering spells, the two girls in from of him became awkwardly silent. He didn't care, he let the clone practice while he try to remember other spells. Henry is doing his own thing, he looked at the blindbox today and opened it.
Today's blindbox is a cursed one. He opened it to see glow and saw it : Bloodline limit - woodstyle, ninjutsu - wood clone.
He got two things which is a rare occurrence among the blind boxes. A majestic vitality appeared in his body and he felt he can do wood clone.
But Henry held back. He will do that after he goes to Hogwarts. He will stay in library while his wood clones will be in classes. As Henry is thinking the cold faced girl opposite sniffed a little and then she moved near him and smelled his scent.
Henry is confused while she said," Strange I can smell the huge vitality in you which isn't there just a few moments ago. It also smells like grass and trees. What happened to you suddenly? ", Henry is taken aback for a moment while the girl came back to her senses.
She went back to her seat and coughed then said," I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. It's just I'm born with the ability to smell different kinds of magic. Although your magic is unique just a moment it changed nto huge vitality and smells like wood. Can you tell me what happened? ".
Henry acted he is confused too and said," I don't know too. I suddenly felt a warm current in my body ", Henry didn't say more. But he noted down this special ability, smell of the magic of other people. Henry stretched his body and slept while his clone did the work.
It isn't until dark when his clone woke him up and he hastily changed into robes after dispelling it. He looked outside and saw the train slowing down and ultimately stopping in the station. He left the luggage in the train like the girls and exited the train.
He moved forward and saw the huge half-giant greeting a girl. It seems the saviour in this world is a girl. He didn't feel anything. He just moved forward along the freshman while sensing the surroundings after all who wants to fell in this mud and dirty their clothes.
Henry moved down the stairs to the pier on the lake. Everyone boarded boats and Henry also boarded with a strange boy who is sniffing and holding back tears. Hermione girl and another boy who seems that be a muggleborn like Hermione and himself.
He didn't speak a word during this and followed the half giant on the big stairs to the castle. After getting there he saw the huge castle door. Hagrid knocked on the door and it opened. Filch who is opening it is spining the wheel to it with all his strength.
Hagrid took the first years and met McGonagall," Professor McGonagall, the first years mam", McGonagall nodded and said," Thank you hagrid. I'll take it from here", McGonagall looked at the freshmen strernly and said," Welcome to Hogwarts. Before your stay in this castle, you'll be sorted into one of the four houses. Griffyndoor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin ".
McGonagall continued," In your stay here in this castle, you're house is like your family. Your efforts and work will reward points while mischief and rule breaking will deduct them. At end of the year, we'll reward the house cup to the house with highest points ".
Nevile suddenly shouted," Trevor ", he then grabbed the frog near McGonagall ans apologized," Sorry ", McGonagall looked at him sternly and didn't say anything. She only turned to them and said," Tidy up yourselves before the sorting ceremony starts ".
She looked at a girl with red hair and green eyes for a second. Then turned Henry who looked expresionless and didn't say anything. She trotted away while the usual scene happened. But this saviour looks to be more confident and has a very interesting personality.
She pointed to girl of the malfoy's nose directly and said," I don't associate with death eaters ", the girl from malfoy house immediately put on a cold look and returned to her position. Henry meanwhile looked around. He felt a gaze on him.
He turned to see Cassandra who is almost glaring at him. He ignored her and waited for McGonagall to arrive.
