Chapter VIII Sorting Ceremony
A few hours later, the train slowed down and finally stopped. The passengers pushed and shoved and rushed towards the door. Mo Wen also pulled Qiu Zhang's hand and jumped to a dark and small platform. An extremely tall figure in the crowd was shaking over the students' heads with a lamp, "First-year freshman! First-year freshman comes here!" It seems that it should be the mixed-race giant Hagrid.
The freshmen followed the figure and stumbled, as if walking downhill along a steep and narrow path. Along the way, Mo Wen held Qiu Zhang's little hand tightly. "Come over this turn, you will soon see Hogwarts for the first time." The tall figure turned around and shouted.
Then a black lake suddenly unfolded at the end of the road. On the high hillside across the lake, a towering castle stood on the castle with spires and windows flashing under the starry sky.
"Each boat cannot exceed four people!" Hagrid said loudly, pointing to a group of small boats moored by the shore. Mo Wen pulled Qiu Zhang and jumped onto the boat, and another boy and a girl came along. "Have you all got on the boat?" Hagrid shouted, and he took a boat by himself. "Then it's easy to move forward!" A group of small boats immediately rowed across the lake with a flat surface like a mirror and headed forward.
"My name is Eddie Garmie, hello!" The boy was very generous and introduced himself in a short while after getting on the boat.
"Marietta Aikemo" also introduced the girl with freckles on her face.
Mo Wen began to recall the original work, two supporting roles with only names, but Marietta seemed to be the culprit of the breakdown of Qiu Zhang and Harry's relationship. However, Mo Wen didn't care. His methods were much higher than Harry, so he was not afraid that Qiu Zhang would run out of his palm.
"Qiu Zhang" and "Modi Guris" also introduced themselves.
After hearing Mo Wen's name, Marietta's eyes lit up. It was obvious that she had heard something, but just when she wanted to say something, Hagrid shouted, "Look down!" They were approaching the cliff of the castle.
Everyone lowered their heads, and the boat carried them through the ivy curtain covering the front of the cliff to the secret open entrance. They followed a pitch-black tunnel that seemed to be under the castle, and finally arrived at a place similar to an underground pier, and then climbed up a gravel and pebbles to the ground, and came to a huge oak door.
At this time, a tall black-haired witch in an emerald green robe stood in front of the gate, and she said to Hagrid: "Hagrid, let me pick it up."
"Okay, professor." Hager agreed.
"This is Professor McGonagall, our vice president. Her letter of admission was written by her. She is also the dean of Gryffindor College, teaching transforming techniques." Mo Wen introduced to Qiu Zhang in a low voice, who nodded and listened carefully. After coming to Hogwarts, Qiu Zhang became more nervous and listened carefully to Mo Wen's introduction. However, what made Mo Wen regretful was that when he came to a place with lights, Qiu Zhang took his little hand away.
Professor McGonagall was introducing the branch. Qiu Zhang suddenly asked in a low voice after hearing this: "Modi, which college do you think we will be assigned to?"
Modi just smiled and said confidently: "You and I will be assigned to Ravenclaw Academy."
"Why?" Qiu Zhang asked in confusion.
"Because it's destined!"
Qiu Zhang was so angry that he pinched Mo Wen. The girl could do this trick regardless of age. "I'm talking serious, don't make trouble."
Mo Wen suddenly looked up, and he looked at Qiu Zhang seriously and said, "I mean serious. A smart and beautiful girl like you will definitely be assigned to Ravenclaw, and I will be with you."
The door of the hall was opening at this time, and the burning torch set off Mo Wen's strange-colored pupils, making him look particularly charming at this time.
Looking at this scene in a daze, Qiu Zhang was stunned.
And at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Mo Wen, "Mr. Guris, the branch ceremony is about to be held now. I personally think your confession should be left until next time."
However, Professor McGonagall appeared behind the two of them at some point. When the people around him heard her words, they burst into laughter. Qiu Zhang blushed and hurriedly lowered his head.
But Mo Wen was unmoved and said with a smile: "Okay, professor, I will remember it."
The freshmen lined up and walked into the hall. Students from other classes in the college were already sitting around four long tables. Thousands of candles floating in the air above the table illuminated the restaurant. The four tables were shining golden plates and high-footed wine glasses. There was another long table on the table at the top of the restaurant, which was the seat for teachers. Professor McGonagall brought the freshmen there and asked them to line up against all the senior students. The ceiling above his head was clear, but the sky outside was covered with dark clouds, covering the light of the moon.
Professor McGonagall gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first-year freshman, and then placed a pointed wizard hat on it. The hat was patched, and it was worn out and very dirty.
Then, as everyone was watching, the hat suddenly sang a song. I didn't listen to what I sang, but instead looked at the hat carefully.
Level 0 Spell: Detection Magic
In Mo Wen's eyes, the broken hat contained a very amazing light, even far beyond his magic wand. Should it be said that it is worthy of Gryffindor's hat? Things that have been circulating for so long have some tricks. But now he is more concerned about whether the hat will detect his secrets. After all, it is a hat that can detect thoughts. At this time, Yuan Chu was rolling in Mo Wen's mind, making a big fuss, saying that Mo Wen looked down on her, she would never be discovered by a broken hat. Mo Wen thought about it and felt that it would not be. If he could detect anything, those pure-blooded nobles would not allow the school to use such things. It is estimated that this hat would be similar to the second-level magic detection ideas, and perhaps it would be more powerful to see a person's character, and what people hide in their hearts should not be discovered.
After a while, the branch hat was finished singing, and the freshmen began to walk forward one by one and put on the hat.
"Marca Belby." "Ravenclaw!" The first boy who was called was assigned to Ravenclaw, and the table with the most girls suddenly burst into warm applause.
"Michael Corne" "Gryffindor!"
"Myers Brech" "Slytherin!"
"Eddie Garmie" "Ravenclaw!"
·····
A personal name was ticked, and the applause in the hall never stopped.
"Qiu Zhang", Mo Wen felt Qiu Zhang behind him suddenly became nervous, and immediately turned around and whispered: "Don't worry, I'll go back to Ravenclaw to find you."
Looking at Mo Wen's serious expression, Qiu Zhang burst out laughing, relaxed, and then laughed: "Okay, I'll wait for you in Ravenclaw."
Then there was a loud "Ravenclaw!", Qiu Zhang ran to Ravenclaw's long table with brisk steps, chatted with a senior sister in the senior year. Seeing Mo Wen look over, she also gave her a playful look.
Mo Wen just smiled at this, and then when he saw Digory's frustrated expression on Hufflepuff's table, Mo Wen laughed even happier.
The number of people decreased one by one, and finally it was "Modi Guris"
The discussion around suddenly became louder, and several people stood up from the table. It was obvious that many people had heard of the name of the little genius of the Guris family.
Under the gaze of everyone, Mo Wen was not nervous at all. He walked up with a light step. The pair of gold and silver eyes looked particularly deep, and combined with the noble temperament, it attracted a lot of attention.
A test of the system was thrown on the branch hat, and Mo Wen showed a message in his mind: the branch hat, a sub-legacy item, can simply distinguish personal personality and obtain shallow thoughts.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Mo Wen put the branch hat on his head.
"Well," he said at a subtle voice in his ear: "It's hard, very difficult, extremely intelligent, not lacking in courage, pure blood, and a kind of contempt for all rules, except Hufflepuff's three academies are very suitable for you."
Mo Wen said firmly in his heart: "Ravenclaw!"
"Ravenclaw, right?" asked the subtle voice, "Have you taken care of it? You'll be more likely to succeed in Slytherin."
Mo Wen felt a sneer in his heart. Is it Dumbledore's temptation? Are you afraid that I will become the second Voldemort? A broken hat in charge of the branch actually guided the students' choices. He immediately used a third-level protective spell to avoid detection, and then used brain closure.
"Huh?" the branch hat said in surprise: "What an amazing brain closure surgery, I'm increasingly trying to get you to Slytherin."
Mo Wenze whispered in a bad mood: "Ravenclaw, Ravenclaw." What a joke, the last few movies in the book belong to Slytherin. Gryffindor died the most people, while Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had almost never died. If he really entered Slytherin, he would definitely be rejected and suppressed by Dumbledore, and he could not lick Voldemort's toes. At that time, neither side could get it well, and the danger would be great. Besides, Ravenclaw is the college with the most beauties in the original work, Qiu Zhang and Luna are all here, and that sister among the Pettier sisters is also there. Only Gryffindor College can compete with the college, and it is still because the beauty of the protagonist can introduce it. If it is true, Ravenclaw has the most beauties.
"Okay, okay, then Ravenclaw." Unable to see Mo Wen's thoughts, the branch hat had to follow his wishes, and the hat shouted the last name to the entire restaurant.
But the students in the hall saw another scene. After Mo Wen put on the branch hat, the branch hat seemed to have been used for a long time without a decision. At this time, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly cracked a gap, and a ray of moonlight shone down, covering Mo Wen's body. The golden and silver eyes emitted a faint luster, which made him look particularly mysterious.
Then he heard the yelling of the branch hat: "Ravenclaw!"
The entire Ravenclaw Academy was in full bloom, everyone cheered, and even a few girls jumped up, while the other academies seemed a little disappointed, especially the girls of Slytherin.
Mo Wen walked gracefully to the long table of his college, pulled open the chair next to Qiu Zhang and sat down, and said to the latter: "I just said I would come to Ravenclaw to find you."
