Chapter 10 Sorting Ceremony
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
As the train whistle sounded and the speed gradually slowed down, Hogwarts arrived.
Qiu Zhang arranged the black robe he had changed into, opened the carriage door, and saw Cedric, who had already changed clothes, standing there waiting.
"Digory, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah, you've packed up, let's go together!" Cedry said with a smile in his eyes and a gentle tone.
"Ok!"
Qiu Zhang raised his lips and eyebrows, nodded and followed Cedric off the train. As soon as I got off the train, I saw a tall giant with a full beard loudly directing the actions of the first-year students.
"Freshmen, don't be anxious, just line up and get on the boat in order."
Qiu Zhang and Cedric went along with the flow and got on a boat. Unfortunately, the two red-haired men also got on the boat with her.
I saw the red-haired brothers sitting in the corner of the boat, but their eyes kept looking in the direction of Qiu Zhang from time to time, and they were talking quietly without knowing what they were talking about. Their eyes looking at Qiu Zhang were full of surprise and curiosity.
"Gentlemen, perhaps you know that it is inappropriate to blatantly look at a lady like this?"
Cedric noticed the unobstructed gazes of the two red-haired men, and finally couldn't help opening his mouth for Qiu. He stretched out his hands to pull Qiu Zhang behind him and sit down, isolating the red-haired man's gaze from his body. .
"Oh, I meant I'm sorry! Well...that's how I put it..." One of the red-haired boys was giggling and paused without thinking of what to say.
"Actually, we were just curious that this classmate turned out to be in the same first grade as us. We called her senior at the station just now... Yes, that's it."
One of the red-haired boys interrupted his brother's words in time and showed an apologetic smile. But Qiu Zhang didn't appreciate it. Although he didn't say it out loud, Qiu Zhang could tell at a glance that they were probably questioning why they didn't fall for the candy's prank.
"In that case, it'll be good if everything is explained clearly, so don't stare at her anymore, thank you!"
Cedric obviously didn't believe what they were saying, but he wanted to be a gentleman and responded to the red-haired brother's words well, but his posture of protecting Qiu Zhang did not change at all.
Fortunately, after hiding behind Cedric, Qiu Zhang finally didn't have to pretend to be a good girl, and secretly glared at the red-haired brother countless times.
[Sure enough, these two people must be the people I hate the most in school! ! ! 】
Seeing that Cedric's expression was serious, the two of them stopped saying anything joking, and the process of crossing the lake passed quietly.
"Digory, thank you!"
In the dimly lit dark environment, Qiu Zhang carefully hooked Cedric's finger and whispered his thanks.
"It's ok!"
Cedric also naturally hooked his little finger back. The two little people were in this dark boat, and their two little fingers were stuck together. For some reason, they had a tacit understanding and did not let go.
Soon, we arrived at our destination.
Hagrid still used his loud voice to guide every new student to disembark and enter Hogwarts.
"Oh, Professor McGonagall, I leave these children to you!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
After Hagrid left, Professor McGonagall gave a brief introduction to the first-year students.
"Welcome to Hogwarts. After passing through this door, you will be sorted. There are four houses in Hogwarts, namely Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Raven. Crowe. These are very good colleges. …”
After experiencing a series of lectures by Professor McGonagall, everyone had a basic understanding of Hogwarts. So under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, the door opened, and the first-year students were about to officially join the Hogwarts community. Big family.
Passing through the long hall, students from four colleges were seated on both sides. Looking up at the roof, I saw something as bright and beautiful as the Milky Way.
"Autumn! Autumn!"
A few very quiet gasps were heard, Qiu Zhang turned around and saw Wood sitting on the Gryffindor table calling for him.
Seeing that Qiu Zhang noticed him, Wood hurriedly waved and extended his thumb in an extremely exaggerated gesture to indicate to Qiu Zhang that Gryffindor is good, Gryffindor is great. Qiu Zhang couldn't help but laugh.
"What's wrong?"
Cedric on the side saw Qiu Zhang suddenly laughing and couldn't help but ask doubtfully.
"Ah, nothing, nothing!"
Qiu Zhang waved his hand and continued to follow the steps of his classmates towards the front.
After Principal Dumbledore's brief speech, the much-anticipated sorting session finally came. Professor McGonagall looked serious, holding a long roll of parchment with a list of new students, and began to read the names of the students.
"Ruby Holden"
Ruby Holden quickly went up and put on the Sorting Hat.
"Gryffindor!"
The Sorting Hat announced loudly, and Ruby Holden was satisfied.
"Lilith Black"
A little girl who looked noble and elegant stepped forward.
"Slytherin!"
In less than a moment, the Sorting Hat immediately gave the answer.
.........
"George Weasley"
I saw the familiar red-haired man running up with a swoosh. As soon as Professor McGonagall put on her hat, the Sorting Hat immediately opened her mouth... and paused for two seconds before speaking for emphasis.
"Fred Weasley - Gryffindor!"
Only then did everyone realize that the person who had just gone up was Fred Weasley, not George Weasley. At this time, in the Gryffindor room, a senior red-haired senior frowned slightly.
"Hey! I was discovered..."
Fred Weasley shrugged nonchalantly.
"George Weasley!"
Professor McGonagall said with great emphasis on the word "George".
The real George Weasley finally slowly walked onto the stage.
"Whoa! George! George!"
Fred stood by and cheered with a look of gloating on his face. George waved his hands helplessly, sat on the stool and put on his hat. In less than a moment, the Sorting Hat immediately came up with the result.
"Gryffindor!"
George walked off the stage with a sure expression on his face, and walked shoulder to shoulder with Fred to the Gryffindor table.
"Cedric Diggory"
As the professor called Cedric's name, Cedric nodded to Qiu Zhang and quickly walked up.
"Hufflepuff!"
Sure enough, as expected, Cedric entered Hufflepuff. I always feel that it is quite fitting for someone as gentle, gentle and careful as Cedric to become a member of Hufflepuff House.
"Qiu Zhang."
Finally arriving in Qiuzhang, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous when I heard my name. Sitting in my seat, my nervousness reached its peak when I saw Gryffindor Seawood's expectant eyes.
At this time, Cedric the Hufflepuff's gaze really gave Qiu Zhang a lot of comfort. The gaze was sincere and had a calm and soothing atmosphere. Qiu Zhang took a deep breath and smiled back at Cedric. Then put on the sorting hat.
"Oh, very good. This girl from the East, you have a spirit of exploration towards knowledge. It can also be seen that you seem to know a lot and have a lot of experience. Maybe... you will be suitable for Ravenclaw? But your exploration It seems that sometimes it goes beyond a lot. You will be obsessed, ambitious, and even unscrupulous for "knowledge" or the goal you want to achieve... Then, maybe you are more suitable..."
"I want to go to Ravenclaw!" Fearing that something might happen to the Sorting Hat, Qiu Zhang immediately expressed his thoughts.
"Oh, that's right. Well, if that's what you're asking for, maybe Ravenclaw would be a good choice too. So..."
"Ravenclaw!"
As the Sorting Hat loudly announced Qiu Zhang's house, the light in Wood's eyes dimmed to the naked eye. Although Cedric still had the gentle smile, he heard that his friend who was so destined could not be sorted with him. There is still something a little bit lost in a college.
What's strange is that the two Weasley brothers also showed disappointed expressions, and their expressions were extremely exaggerated. Those who didn't know it thought Qiu Zhang was playing a lot like them. Only Qiu Zhang understood that the two brothers must be fighting something in their hearts. . .
