"FIRST YEARS PLEASE HERE, FOLLOW ME!" shouted a stocky man at the end of the station, holding aloft a wand with a glowing tip.

A group of young wizards squeezed out of the train in a panic. Nelson, Tom, and Alphard were dressed in neat wizard robes and followed behind the crowd leisurely. Take off your clothes so that you don't panic when the train announcement sounds "Five minutes to Hogwarts". Behind them, a little girl timidly climbed down from the carriage.

When all the first-year students gathered in front of that person, he pointed his wand at his neck: "The voice is loud!"

Sure enough, a loud voice came, "I am the keykeeper of Hogwarts, Ogg. All the first-year students follow me, you must follow me closely, and don't get lost!" After that, he held up his glowing wand, Go down a steep path.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, descending an unknown slope, and turning an unknown number of turns, when most people were out of breath, Ogg's voice came again: "We're here!"

Nelson looked up:

The big black lake runs across the left and right sides of the field of vision. In the quiet night, there is no ripple on the lake. It is calm as if it is not the surface of the water, but a bottomless pothole. Between the two steep peaks behind the big lake, there is a majestic The castle is built along the mountain, facing the cliffs on both sides. This castle looks very old but not dilapidated. The stretching city walls are connected with tall towers that are taller than the mountain peaks. Among these tall towers, many turrets are built in a patchwork manner.

The castle is brightly lit, the castle is extraterrestrial, and the long and narrow stained glass shines brightly under the baptism of the castle lights and stars.

"Take a boat in a group of four!" Ogg pointed to a row of small wooden boats tied to a small pier beside the Black Lake.

Alphard looked a little anxious, "Let's hurry up, there will be no boats if we are late!"

"No," Tom shook his head lightly. The unfamiliar environment and society in Diagon Alley made him feel nervous. When he came to Hogwarts, he knew that he had returned to the most familiar place - among a group of children , he can be their leader wherever they are, or become the person they fear, which makes him feel like a fish in water and gradually relaxes, "The school must have prepared a boat for us according to the number of new students. There is no difference between the first one and the last one. Let's go later, so we won't be crowded, and in case the people in the middle and the front can't make up the boat and separate us."

"Oh!" Alphard said that he had learned a lot.

The three people lined up slowly talking and laughing like this, and the line soon reached the end.

"Are there only three of you left?" Ogg asked, "No, there is one more." He pointed behind the three of them and shouted, "Hurry up! I'll be waiting for you!"

The three of Nelson looked back in amazement, what kind of stealth ability this is! The three of them never realized that there was anyone behind them.

I saw a little girl with long hair running slowly to the lake. She had long golden brown thick hair and wore a pair of glasses that covered half of her face. She had fair skin and a little baby fat. A few tiny freckles. It was the girl Nelson almost stepped on at Lihen Bookstore.

Ogg grabbed her arm and pulled her into the boat. She struggled desperately, but it didn't seem to be of any use. Before the four of them got on the boat, the boat left.

"Hey, what's your name?" Tom looked at the girl curled up on the side of the boat, and asked her angrily and amusedly.

"My name is Myrtle, Myrtle Warren." She replied in a low voice. She was able to communicate with people normally, her pronunciation was standard, and her words were careful. This was contrary to Tom's speculation. He thought that Myrtle and Xicheng Like the most common children in orphanages who are abandoned and unadopted because of certain disabilities, after all, her behavior just now was too strange, and now it seems that she is just afraid of Nelson.

"Gal, what did you do to her?" Tom whispered to Nelson, leaning over.

"I don't know, I only met her once at Lihen Bookstore, and I almost tripped over her, but I also apologize." Nelson vowed.

Seeing Mettle huddled in the corner alone, the three of Nelson didn't find it boring, and started chatting one after another. Soon, the wooden boat approached the castle. Looking up from the water close to the castle, the fleet traveled to the waterway directly below the castle. From here, the castle was even more magnificent than in the distance. It seemed to be suspended above the heads of everyone, so huge that it was difficult to look directly at it. .

Finally, he got off the boat slowly, and it seemed that someone pushed and shoved in front and caused him to fall into the water.

The first-year freshmen who lined up again climbed up a stone ladder, and gathered in front of the huge oak gate of the castle after a while.

"Everyone is here." Ogg counted the number of people, raised his bony hand and knocked on the door slowly.

"Boom—boom—boom—"

The sound of knocking on the door was refracted repeatedly on the cliffs on both sides of the castle, and echoed far away. Under the cleansing of this distant echo, the noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

"Squeak——" the door opened, and there stood a tall and handsome teacher with carefully groomed auburn hair and beard. It was Albus Dumbledore, "Thank you for your hard work." , Ogg. Then let me take them in."

"Clean it up!" He frowned, took out his wand and pointed at a little boy with waterweed on his head, he sneezed and looked at Dumbledore with grateful eyes.

He waved his hand, and the heavy oak door was fully opened. Nelson saw a resplendent and resplendent foyer that was so big that it could almost fill a house. They climbed up the stairs in the middle of the foyer and came to the door of the banquet hall. , this door is not as huge as the gate of the castle, but it is far more gorgeous than it. The gate inlaid with gold can't see the original material at all. It is embossed with the history of four great wizards who founded Hogwarts. The precious stones are embellished in the meantime, although it is luxurious, it is not vulgar. Dumbledore led the new students into a small room hidden diagonally across from the banquet hall.

"The allocation ceremony will start in front of all the teachers and students in a few minutes. I personally suggest that you can tidy up your appearance, or dress up in a more individual way. I have to say that last year the Weasley family who painted his face red The young man is very creative." Dumbledore couldn't help reminding these young wizards who were disheveled because of the panic when they got off the train.

"Besides, before the sorting ceremony begins, I need to give you some advice on enrolling." Dumbledore's face became serious, "No matter what rumors you have heard about the various colleges before, you have to understand after enrolling, Each Hogwarts college has its unique advantages and tendencies in cultivating talents. Any wizard in any college may become the most outstanding wizard or wizard in the future... So, please cherish your time in Hogwarts. When Woz was studying, you will soon become a real member of Hogwarts. At that time, you will study, live and grow here. All your time from the age of eleven to seventeen will be condensed into Your four-poster bed at Hogwarts... so treasure your chances to learn, cherish your friends, cherish everything you have here..."

"Welcome to Hogwarts!"

The little wizards in front of Dumbledore cheered, but soon became noisy. They began to worry about the content of the sorting ceremony, but they had no time to intimidate themselves, because the sorting ceremony was about to begin.

Under the leadership of Dumbledore, the freshmen passed through the foyer again and walked towards the gate of the banquet hall. Walking halfway, Nelson glanced at the end of the corridor and found that someone had stopped the ghosts of Hogwarts, and they were observing the freshmen of this year with a friendly expression.

Dumbledore pushed open the door of the banquet hall, and everyone filed in and walked into this large auditorium.

As soon as he entered the door, Nelson's eyes were caught: there were senior students sitting in front of four long tables, and the ceiling above their heads turned out to be a starry sky! Thousands of candles floated in mid-air, the entire auditorium was bright as day, and the gold dishes on the tables gleamed. In front of the four long tables is another long table that is slightly shorter. A dozen wizards and wizards with different expressions are sitting there looking at them. In the middle is a stern-looking white-haired old man. It is Hogg. Woz's current principal, Armando Dippet.

Dumbledore led the freshmen to the high platform, facing the senior students, with their backs to the teachers, standing in a row. He took out a four-corner stool and a pointed mage hat that was as worn out as a rag from the small cubicle next to it. When the freshmen were waiting for the follow-up development, the hat suddenly split.

It opened a slit and sang like a human mouth:

...

I used to be just an ordinary mage hat

Torn to pieces by a dragon and mended by a Hufflepuff

She's a kind woman, good at sewing

She advocates teaching without discrimination and opens her arms to all seekers of knowledge

Slytherin don't think so

He thinks noble blood is always stronger

The middle process is not important

Important results are done

Ravenclaw cool, arrogant

She thinks wisdom is better than everything

The wizard who can enter her door wall

A little bit of ingenuity

Gryffindor is a warrior

He thinks wizards with courage are the best at heart

People there think dragons are lizards

see a lion as a kitten

Until one day, the conflict intensifies

They broke up unhappy, with few words

From old Slytherin,

they put ideas into me

Let me find the posterity to take the torch

inherit the glory

Today's world is in turmoil

wizard at hogwarts

Unite! Five fingers squeezed into a fist!

Tomorrow will finally come!

...

The Sorting Hat sang a broken song with no beginning and no end, forced to rhyme, and then began to stay on the stool with eyes closed. Nelson didn't know what was at stake. After all, from his point of view, the wizarding world seemed to have only one villain, Voldemort decades later.

The students in the front row finished sorting one after another. Seeing that they just needed to put their hats on their heads, most of them heaved a sigh of relief. Facing the sorting, Nelson remembered Harry Potter's classic "Don't go to Slytherin", so He began to think, "Wait, should I go to Gryffindor or Ravenclaw..."

"Alphad Black!" Nelson raised his head when he heard the familiar name.

"Slytherin!" Nelson lowered his head again, as expected of the genes of the Black family, so strong.

"Tom Riddle!" Nelson raised his head when he heard the familiar name again.

"Slytherin!" Nelson lowered his head again, worthy of being a descendant of Slytherin himself.

After a Gryffindor boy named John Urbain stepped down, Nelson stood up and it was finally W's turn.

"Myrtle Warren!" Nelson sat down again.

"Ravenclaw!"

"Nelson Williams!"

Nelson stepped onto the stage and it was finally his turn.
