Chapter 274 Chapter 272 Sorting Ceremony
Chapter 274 Chapter 272 Sorting Ceremony
The originally dark surroundings were filled with light under the light of the candles floating in the air. The souls of each college stood at their long tables, waiting for the arrival of the little wizards.
Under the candlelight, the little wizards chatted happily, exchanged news about the summer vacation, greeted friends from other colleges loudly, and examined each other's new hairstyles and new clothes.
Feeney sat at his fixed position on the long table in Slytherin House. There was still no one around, and even the little wizards were not sure about the gap between the number of new students who came to the new year and the number of old students who had graduated. , but they'd rather huddle together than sit with Feeney,
Before, it was because of their fear of Fenny - a guy who would start a family war because of a conflict, and really beat the other family to the point of disappearing, it's better to hide.
Now it's because of the warning from the elders in the family, at least that's what Finny guessed. Even if the family members didn't think of it at the beginning, they could think of it later, even if they were attacked by a mysterious person during the holiday. Needless to say, there must be some reaction from the symbol on their arm telling them that the madman they once called their master is back.
Looking around, he found that there were no other differences except for the old students who had graduated. Then Feeney turned his attention to the desk of the teaching staff.
It was precisely because of his actions that he saw a person who he did not expect appear in Hogwarts,
Dumbledore was sitting in the center of the long table, wearing a purple robe full of silver starlight and a matching hat, sitting on a golden high-backed chair, talking with a woman beside him with his head sideways ,
The woman was speaking into his ear at this moment, even though she couldn't hear her voice, another voice that was so sweet that it gave people goosebumps appeared in Finny's mind,
That woman was like an old aunt who had never been married. She was short and fat, and had curvy short taupe hair. The most unbearable thing was that there was a big pink bow on it. , which matches the pink fluffy cardigan she wears over her robe, (This description borrows from the description in the original work, without the author's sense of authority, including the description of the old aunt, the dog's head saves her life!)
I don't know what she said to Dumbledore. She smiled excitedly and turned her head to pick up the goblet on the table and took a sip. It was precisely because of her action that Finny could see her face clearly. The appearance, the toad-like face, the drooping eyelids, the protruding eyes, and the very obvious features all told Finny that this person was the one he remembered.
The confidant of Minister Fudge in the Ministry of Magic, Dolores Umbridge, the existence that many people hate to the extreme,
Fini, who recognized her identity, frowned, this is not right.
In the original book, this person only came to Hogwarts when Harry was in fifth grade. Why did he come in Harry’s second grade now? This is a full three years earlier.
Could it be that the butterfly effect caused by what I did is so powerful?
Wait, no, this is not the butterfly effect. The moment I appeared in this world, the future of this world has already changed!
Finny only realized this at this moment. The reason why he didn't notice this before was because he hadn't contacted Harry a few years ago, and the story line of the original book hadn't unfolded yet. Last year, although he contacted Harry , However, the deviation from the original work is not too far away. Feeney thought it was because of the butterfly effect caused by some of his actions, so he didn't care.
But now, Feeney finally realized,
In other words, he should have realized long ago, when he was attacked by someone arranged by the mysterious person, the original stories in his memory can only be used as a reference, and the role he can play now has reached the limit.
After all, this is a complete world, everyone has their own consciousness and the ability to think independently, they will not develop step by step according to the original story, but will make different choices according to different changes in the world, just like mysterious People will be the same as Feeney because of the destruction of the Horcrux, and Fudge will let Umbridge come to Hogwarts in advance because of the return of the mysterious man.
While Finny was meditating, Hagrid returned to the auditorium. He walked to his seat at the end of the staff table and sat down. waiting,
Sure enough, a few minutes later, the door leading to the hall of the auditorium opened. Under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, the freshmen lined up in a sad team and walked into the auditorium as if they were still in shock.
Professor McGonagall still held the stool in his hand, as well as the old, dirt and oil-stained, somewhat dilapidated Sorting Hat on the stool.
As Professor McGonagall walked in, the buzzing voices in the auditorium subsided. In the middle of the auditorium, the freshmen lined up in front of the long desk of teachers, facing the young wizards of other school years,
Professor McGonagall placed the stool and the Sorting Hat before their eyes, and stepped aside.Under the candlelight, some freshmen trembled, just like other freshmen before, fearing the upcoming sorting ceremony that they didn't know,
Thinking of this, Finny couldn't help smiling. Speaking of which, I don't know which Hogwarts senior or senior sister came up with this custom, but it has continued to this day, that is, never tell anyone before school starts. Freshmen, the truth of the sorting ceremony, but choose some scary lies, such as fighting trolls, fighting dragons, casting magic and so on.
While all the teachers and students in the school were waiting, the slit next to the brim of the sorting hat opened like a mouth, and they sang loudly:
That was more than 1000 years ago,
I have just been woven into shape,
There were four famous wizards,
Their names survive to this day:
Brave Gryffindor, from the barren swamp,
Fair Ravenclaw, from the peaceful river,
Kind Hufflepuff, from the open valley,
The shrewd Slytherin came from that quagmire.
They share a dream, a wish,
At the same time, there is a bold plan,
To bring up young wizards,
That's how Hogwarts was founded.
The four great wizards
Each builds his own academy,
in the students they teach
Valuable talents vary.
According to Gryffindor, the bravest
deserve the highest reward;
According to Ravenclaw, the most intelligent
always the most promising;
Hufflepuff felt that the hardest working
are most eligible for admission to the Academy;
And the power-hungry Slytherin
I like those ambitious teenagers the most.
The living years of the Four Wizards
Pick out the best students by yourself,
But when they sleep in Jiuquan,
How to pick out the talents among the students?
It was Gryffindor who figured it out,
He took me off his head,
The Big Four have injected me with ideas,
From now on, I will choose and evaluate!
Well, hold me well on the head,
I never looked away,
I want to see your mind,
Determine which college you belong to,,,,,,,
Now let's start sorting!
The Sorting Hat returned to its motionless state again after singing, and the auditorium was filled with applause from the little wizards. Professor McGonagall took out a long list from his arms, frowned and looked around, and then hung down. Looking at the parchment in his hand, he announced the first name loudly:
"Harper Avery"
A little wizard who didn't look very smart sat on that chair timidly. Professor McGonagall picked up the sorting hat and placed it on his head.
Like the other Slytherins, the Sorting Hat announced the result loudly almost as soon as it touched his head,
"Slytherin!"
The little snakes in Slytherin responded with warm applause. The Avery family is also a member of the 28 pure-blood families in Nott's "Pure Blood List", which is very popular in Slytherin. welcome,
Slowly, the long team of first-year freshmen shortened little by little,
"Ginny Weasley"
"Gryffindor!"
"Luna Lovegood"
"Ravenclaw!"
"Colin Creevey"
"Gryffindor!"
"Astoria Greengrass"
"Slytherin!"
As in the original book, many of the little wizards that Finney is familiar with are assigned to their original colleges, and Hermione's different colleges from the original book did not appear.
When the last little wizard was sorted into Hufflepuff, Professor McGonagall picked up his hat and chair and strode out of the auditorium. Only then did Dumbledore tap the goblet in front of him with a spoon, making a crisp and bright sound The sound attracted the attention of the little wizards.
"Welcome to our new students,"
Dumbledore's voice was still very loud, he opened his arms, and a smile as bright as a flower bloomed on his mouth. It seemed that he did not feel too much sadness because of the death of his old friend.
"Welcome! Welcome our old students, welcome back! There is more time for speeches, but not now, so let go and eat to your heart's content."
Appreciation, laughter and warm applause erupted in the auditorium. Dumbledore sat down upright and threw his long beard aside to prevent them from affecting his eating.
Seeing this, Finny frowned. This was different from their original plan. After discussing it before, they all felt that the news of the mysterious man's return should be announced at this sorting ceremony. Although this would annoy the Ministry of Magic, but, In the same way, it will also make the little wizards feel vigilant. Moreover, Hogwarts is also Dumbledore's place after all, and the hands of the Ministry of Magic can't get in normally.
But today, there were two surprises that Finny did not expect. One was that Dumbledore did not follow the plan, and the other was the appearance of Umbridge.
"Dinner, Finny!"
At this time, a shy but soft voice came from beside Feeney. Turning around, it was Astoria with a slightly red face. Yes, this girl did not sit down after the sorting. Instead of sitting beside her sister, she sat next to Finny. In fact, this should be what her sister did.
The fact that the Greengrass family took refuge in Black is already recognized by the wizarding world. Logically speaking, in Hogwarts, both Daphne and Astoria should consider Black's position and those family members who are hostile to Black. Draw boundaries, just like Parkinson next to Daphne now, but Daphne didn't do anything, but her sister made clear her position at the end of the sorting - standing by Feeney's side, even if he received Fear and exclusion throughout the academy,
Shaking his head and brushing these thoughts aside, Fini looked at the food in front of him. The piles of large chunks of beef, pies, vegetables, bread, and jam were no different from previous years. They were still the same food.
Feeney sighed, took a piece of beef and slowly cut it with a knife and fork.
Astoria poured a glass of apple juice for Finny with a wink and put it beside him, and asked at the same time,
"What were you thinking just now?"
After taking a bite of the beef, Finny said,
"It's nothing, I'm just wondering why the Ministry of Magic sent that woman here. You know, this woman's reputation in pure-blood families is not very good, especially among families of our level."
Astoria was a little puzzled, but she didn't ask. She believed that if Finny could tell her about this, she would definitely tell her without her asking.
Sure enough, Feeney continued,
"This woman claimed to be a member of the Selwyn family after she entered the Ministry of Magic. The old employees at that time took good care of her until one day, she used this identity to have a dispute with the Orvis family and bullied her. other side,"
"You know, the Orvis family is the most powerful assistant of the Selwyn family. Naturally, that person was unwilling. He found their patriarch, and then found the Selwyn family to get an explanation. This woman's lies After being exposed, she claimed that she did have Selwyn's blood, but it had been too long, and the Selwyn family didn't understand. Heh, it was just because Selwyn didn't bother to pay attention to such a small person like her, and became The most ridiculous thing is that her father used to be a Muggle wizard who cleaned at the Ministry of Magic."
Astoria didn't know what to say at this time. This woman is really good at making a living. Selwin and Black are different. That family can really be called a flourishing family. The collateral line is the direct lineage. There are more than a dozen people in each generation. Counting the collateral lineage, more than half of Greece is the blood of their family. With such a huge family, Umbridge went to provoke it without knowing anything. What is death?
