Chapter 8: Branching Hat

In the spacious and bright auditorium, countless candles are suspended in the air, with four long tables on the ground, with luxurious shiny plates and goblets on them.

Allen also noticed that the ceiling was the starry sky outside, which was beautiful.

In "A History of Hogwarts", it is mentioned that the ceiling of the auditorium is magically used to reflect the sky outside.

At this time, the first-year freshmen were in the middle, waiting for the branch hat above to be in the branch office.

The branch hat has a thousand years of history, full of patches, looks tattered and does not match the gorgeous auditorium at all, Alan thought so.

"...No students are allowed to enter the Black Forest. In addition, our administrator, Mr. Felch, asked me to remind you that the corridor on the third floor and the corridor on the right are also forbidden areas. If you don't want to die miserably, don't go there." Dumbledore finished speaking and finally it was the turn of the branch ceremony.

Vice President Minerva McGonagall ordered the branch office.

"Call the students who call their name, come to the front, I will put the branch hat on your head and then determine the college you are going to."

Allen grabbed his soft hair and his face was a little unnatural. So many people had worn yard hats, so they were so dirty that they didn't know how to wash it?

However, Allen was unable to stop the branch ceremony, so Vice President McGonagall ordered the name.

"Hermione Granger!"

Hermione was a little nervous when she was the first to play, but she still walked up slowly. Hermione sat on the chair, and Vice Principal McGonagall put the division hat on Hermione's head.

The originally quiet branch hat cracked his mouth and began to mutter to himself: "Yes, OK, Gryffindor!"

Gryffindor students cheered and applauded, ushering in the first freshman.

Allen pursed his lips. With Hermione's wisdom, it should have been Ravenclaw, and it must have been Dumbledore. At this moment, Allen was a little worried about his branch.

As students go up and enter different colleges, the number of people queuing is getting smaller and smaller.

Allen was lucky that he didn't even read his name until he was exposed.

At this time, Vice President McGonagall looked at the list and shouted loudly: "Alan Drew!"

Allen shook his robe and walked up confidently. No matter which academy he went to, he would shine.

As soon as he put on the hat, the branch hat groaned: "What a pure and powerful force, full of natural breath, courage, wisdom, loyalty and modesty, and ambition, and what a potential student."

Hearing the sound of the scoring hat, the scene was a little quiet. Even Harry Potter did not receive such praise. Even several professors looked at Allen.

Allen even felt a powerful gaze on his back trying to see through him. From the position, it should be Dumbledore.

The Sorting Hat hesitated for a few seconds and finally shouted: "The best college for you, Hufflepuff!"

The students of Hufflepuff suddenly burst into warm applause, and Allen smiled faintly, and saw a seat next to Cedric, sitting next to him.

Cedric was very happy and hugged Allen's shoulders: "Welcome to us. He is my friend, don't bully him."

Cedric is the best student in the third grade. Everyone gives him face and welcomes Allen to join.

At this time, Dumbledore knocked on the water cup, and in an instant, various food and drinks filled the dining table.

Hogwarts is right! Allen smiled slightly.

"Allen, stop watching, eat now!"

Hufflepuff's classmates were very harmonious. Everyone shared the food at their table. Allen was hungry and quickly eliminated the food with an elegant posture.

Halfway through the food, ghosts appeared and more than a dozen ghosts flew around, even passing through the middle of the food. Alan suddenly lost his appetite.

A short and fat ghost flew over Hufflepuff, and Cedric greeted the ghost: "Fat monk, how are you doing summer vacation?"

The fat monk turned around and saw Cedric immediately said, "No, I still like being with the cute little badger, making me look young."

The fat monk looked at Allen: "Is this the new badger?"

Allen nodded politely: "I am Allen Drew."

"I'm glad to see the new badger every year, Hufflepuff is a very welcoming academy and you won't be disappointed."

...

After dinner, freshmen from each academies entered the common room under the leadership of the chief. Allen and Harry Ron said hello and followed Cedric away.

Harry said with some regret, "If Allen was a student in our academy, we could be in the same dormitory."

Ron also likes the generous Allen, but unfortunately the separating hat doesn't give him face.

Allen and Cedric followed the chief Truman and came to the bottom of the ground.

Truman teaches freshmen how to enter the common room: "We have not entered the invaders for more than a thousand years because we have an expulsion device installed here, so everyone must not do anything wrong."

"Remember my steps." Truman walked to the front of a pile of large wooden barrels placed on dark stone troughs and tapped the bottom of the second barrel in the middle of the second row at the rhythm of "Helga Hufflepuff".

After the knocking was completed, the barrel lid of the wooden barrel was rotated and opened. Truman said: "From here you can enter the Hufflepuff public lounge, everyone will remember whether it is."

"Remember it."

Then a group of people walked into the common room one by one, and Allen opened his eyes through the wooden barrel, and a simple circular room appeared in front of him.

The ceiling is very low, and the dandelions and shaking grass can be seen through the round windows.

Truman arranged rooms for ten freshmen, and five boys including Ellen, Ernie McMillan, Justin Finlieri, were in the same room.

Generally, freshmen in each college are five men and five women, which is convenient for allocating rooms.

Allen said goodbye to Cedric and entered the room with his roommates. The room also emphasized the simplicity, and plants hanging or placed could be seen everywhere. After all, the dean was Pomona Sprout, a professor of herbal medicine.

Allen's roommates are Ernie McMillan, Justin Finliery, Wayne Hopkins, and Oliver Rivers.

After everyone introduced themselves, they found their own beds according to their names. Alan lay on the bed and passed the time with "Bok's Alchemy Skills".

At present, Allen plans to overcome the automatic writing pen to make it easier for him to take notes.

The required materials are also simple, but the core spell is a bit difficult. Automatic writing of the spell is equivalent to dividing consciousness into two. Although it is the primary content of the standard spell, the difficulty level is also one of the best.

Two hours later, just as Allen wanted to rest and sleep, a knock sounded outside the door. Alan was closest to the door, so he went to open the door. The person knocking on the door turned out to be Cedric.
