As all the attacking ghosts were surrounded and exterminated by the teachers and students of Hogwarts, the sudden attack came to an end.

The dark cloud that originally hung over everyone's heads when the legend of the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets spread became increasingly heavy with the enemy's successive attacks over the past two days.

Perhaps it is not only the students who are worried about the safety of their academic life in the new semester, but also Vice-Principal Professor McGonagall, who firmly believes that the two attacks are by no means isolated incidents, waved his wand to restore the chaos in the auditorium caused by the fighting.

When the tables and chairs were arranged, they looked a little sad.

What happened to Hogwarts, which has always adhered to neutrality almost since its founding thousands of years ago? Uncharacteristically, it was being targeted.

This question has been lingering in the minds of teachers and students at Hogwarts for a long time.

Fortunately, in the attack just now, only the direwolf guard who was killed by the assassin Jhin with a single shot died. However, the teachers and students participating in the dinner were under the careful protection of the professors headed by Principal Dumbledore.

One casualty.

Putting aside the sadness of mourning the death of the Direwolf Guard, even Bran Stark, who woke up from a coma, continued to attend the Hogwarts welcome dinner with a pair of red eyes.

"I announce that the orientation dinner for the new semester at Hogwarts will continue!"

As Professor Dumbledore's loud words swept through the entire auditorium, the young wizards who were worried about being attacked by the enemy again suddenly stopped commotion.

Perhaps he was infected by the power of the words of Professor Dumbledore, the greatest headmaster in the history of Hogwarts, and the little wizard's anxious heart regained some peace after a long absence.

"The sorting ceremony begins now! Anyone whose name is read, please come forward, put on the sorting hat and wait for the sorting!"

Professor McGonagall, who was in charge of presiding over the sorting ceremony, took a few steps forward, holding a parchment in his hand that recorded the list of all first-year students.

"Bran Stark!"

boom--

The Hogwarts auditorium, which had just been quiet for a while, was now filled with excitement after hearing Professor McGonagall read out his name.

Although many people had already made such conjectures when they first heard Bran Stark's name, they still couldn't help but wonder when they actually heard Bran Stark's name listed on the list of first-year students mentioned by Professor McGonagall.

A bit of a dreamy feeling.

That was Eddard Stark, the current Duke of Winterfell and Warden of the North - the son of Eddard Stark!

Looking at the past thousands of years, the Stark family, which has always had no wizarding talent, has never had a single descendant come to Hogwarts to observe or even study.

This also means that Bran Stark will break the rules and become the first person from the Stark family to enroll in Hogwarts in thousands of years!

When Bran actually took steps towards the Sorting Hat on the bench, the students at the dean's table of the four universities in the auditorium were crowded, and everyone looked up, hoping to see clearly what the Stark Highness looked like.

.

Seeing the enthusiasm and curiosity in the eyes of teachers and students at Hogwarts, Harry felt that he had been familiar with each other, but he also felt a little bit like Bramble. When he participated in the sorting ceremony as a first-year freshman last year, the teachers and students in the school also heard rumors about him.

He was quite interested in the title of the savior who defeated Voldemort, and even made a lot of jokes about it.

When Bran put on the dirty Sorting Hat, within a moment, the Sorting Hat gave the sorting result.

"Gryffindor!!"

Gu Xiaoheng heard the Sorting Hat shout the name of Gryffindor to the entire auditorium, and the Gryffindor table where he was sitting instantly burst into the loudest cheers.

"Not only do we have Harry Potter, we also have Bran Stark! God, God bless Gryffindor!"

"Long live His Highness Bran! Wuhu!"

When Bran took off the Sorting Hat and slowly walked down from the high platform, countless red and gold mixed-color flags with the lion emblem as the main pattern suddenly appeared on the Gryffindor table. Gryffindor's little lion

They (that is, the young wizards of the Lion's Court) happily patted Bran's arm or shook his hand happily.

It seemed that Bran had never received such a grand and sincere welcome, and until the end of the whole sorting ceremony, his mind was a little dizzy.

Sitting next to Gu Xiaoheng and Harry, he was able to enjoy a rare moment of leisure during the whole sorting ceremony - after all, the existence of Gu Xiaoheng and Maeve could help him effectively block some Gryffindor houses from pestering him and wanting to know more about him.

Senior students.

Taking advantage of this relaxed energy, Bran and Gu Xiaoheng enjoyed a special Hogwarts-style dinner while communicating quietly.

Sizzling fried pork chops, lamb chops, charcoal grilled beef, Yorkshire pudding, sweet black forest cake...

After eating a delicious meal, even Bran, who has enjoyed many high-end meals prepared by the chef of Winterfell Castle since childhood, had to admit the exquisiteness and perfect variety of Hogwarts food.

"It looks like everyone has almost eaten. Professor Dumbledore is probably going to give a speech for the new school year!"

Just as Gu Xiaoheng said, after a while Bran could see Professor Dumbledore standing up in the most conspicuous center of the teacher's chair, and the auditorium returned to silence.

"Silence, Professor Dumbledore is now invited to give a speech to everyone!" Tapping the glass goblet twice with the dining spoon, Professor McGonagall immediately drew everyone's attention away from the food on the table and instead attracted

Here comes the teacher's seat.

"Welcome to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before repeating some commonplace school rules, I would like to introduce to you the name of one of the first-year freshmen——"

Following Professor Dumbledore's words, Brandon suddenly noticed that many people around him were looking at him, and the combination of these direct looks made his face become a little hot.

Before this, as the youngest son of the Duke of Winterfell, he had never been so dazzling in front of others. Usually, he was just a foil to his father or even his brother Robb Stark in big scenes...

"His Royal Highness Bran Stark recently awakened a unique magical talent, so in the next year, I can happily announce that His Highness Bran will join Hogwarts as a new student.

And sit in for a whole school year!”

Warm applause has been ringing for a long time since Professor Dumbledore announced the news. Among them, Bran could even see that the students of his Gryffindor house reacted most enthusiastically.

The Gryffindor little lions, who are enthusiastic and bold by nature, are very happy.

If the joining of celebrities is a competition, then they who won the savior star Harry Potter last year and Bran Stark, the son of the Duke of Winterfell, who joined this year are undoubtedly Qin Shihuang's touch on the wire - they have won.

Next, the teachers and students of Hogwarts sang a Hogwarts school song under the command of Professor Dumbledore with this excitement.

After singing, the Hogwarts welcome dinner, which had been lively all night, finally came to an end.

I only heard Professor Dumbledore announce: "It's getting late, it's bedtime now, let's go back to the dormitory!"

Following the steps of Harry and other second-year students, the newly joined first-year students, including Bran, also left the table to prepare for their first good night of sleep in Hogwarts in the new school year.

"Good night, Mr. Eternal!"

"Well, good night everyone!"

After saying good night to each other, Harry used the corner of his eye to see Professor McGonagall, who was usually unsmiling at the teacher's bench, walking towards their direction.

Before Harry could think carefully about whether his "crime" of using candies to play pranks on his classmates on the train was exposed, he only heard Professor McGonagall making a move to Gu Xiaoheng, Geralt, and Maeve.

A "please follow me" gesture.

"Everyone, please come with me. Professor Dumbledore wants to meet you."

Noticing that Harry turned his attention in this direction after taking three steps, Professor McGonagall raised her face and glared at him rather majestically, causing Harry to tremble nervously before retracting his gaze.

.....

Following Professor McGonagall's footsteps, Gu Xiaoheng, Geralt and Maeve came to the teacher's table together.

The dinner had ended, and all the Hogwarts professors had already left. Only Principal Dumbledore was left sitting quietly in his seat, with a smile on his face as if he was looking forward to meeting Gu Xiaoheng and others.

"Ah, welcome everyone. I think that the demon hunters who have the courage to accept the demon hunting commission from me during this special period and actually come here in person must be the most loyal friends of Hogwarts."

After a slight pause, Gu Xiaoheng felt that Dumbledore's eyes glanced at Geralt and then ignored him. Finally, they were firmly locked on his forehead and stopped moving.

"Wonderful... What a wonderful wizard talent!"

"Excuse me, Professor Dumbledore, what did you say?"

Gu Xiaoheng, who knew that he could get more benefits by pretending to be stupid at this time, now took the initiative to clarify the problem like a humble and studious apprentice.

"I think as the owner of this mysterious talent, you should have vaguely felt its existence in the past few days, right? Forget it, everyone, please follow me. I think your wizard talent must be due to the awakening ceremony.

It's incomplete and stuck... It's not a difficult thing, at least, I should be able to help you untie it!"

As soon as we meet, we have to help identify and unlock our own wizard talents! This task process is too simple to complete, right??

Confused, they exchanged glances with Maeve and Geralt. The three people who saw the same confused expression in each other's eyes could only shake their heads, and then followed Dumbledore's footsteps.

At this point, they can only trust Professor Dumbledore.

After all, if Dumbledore, the most powerful legendary wizard in the North, couldn't help Gu Xiaoheng identify the wizard's talent, even if he traveled all over the North to find others for help, it would be in vain.

After passing through a long teacher-only passage behind the auditorium and passing through countless intricate corridors, everyone finally followed Professor Dumbledore and came to a stop in front of a huge and ugly stone monster.

"Lemon Olaf!" Dumbledore shouted to the guardian stone beast the password to the principal's office.

After hearing the correct command, the stone beast that was squatting motionless on the ground suddenly came to life. It jumped to the side, and the deep wall cracked in half, finally revealing a spiral staircase.

After stepping onto the stairs that slowly climbed up, just like an escalator, everyone arrived in front of a shiny oak door soon.

Seeing the brass door knocker in the shape of a griffin appearing in front of him, Gu Xiaoheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Oh my God! The principal's office has finally arrived! This journey has really exhausted him...

"Come on, Mr. Eternal, please stand in front of me."

After taking out a small drop-shaped crystal bottle from the drawer of his slender desk, Professor Dumbledore finally said his first words after entering the door.

"No problem, Professor."

After Gu Xiaoheng did as he was told, Professor Dumbledore opened the cap of the small crystal bottle and dropped a few drops of the liquid on the back of his hand.

Those few drops of liquid were extremely viscous, and the whole thing exuded a faint power under its red color.

Seeing the characteristics of the liquid, the smiling expression on Geralt's face suddenly froze. He stared at the red drop of liquid and shouted its name.
