Chapter 8 School Season
Li Yang couldn't eat it anymore.
I ate too many snacks on the train, and after getting off the bus, I took the boat again. Looking at the deep river and listening to the rustling sound of the water, Li Yang only felt that there was a rustling sound in his stomach, so that now, sitting in the beautiful restaurant in Hogwarts, facing the rich dishes on the long table in front of him, he had no appetite.
The vast and grand castle restaurant, with four amazingly long tables, filled with students from four academy. They were covered with brilliant ceilings decorated with magic on their heads, and countless floating candles were eaten, drinking, and laughter and joy.
Not everyone is sure to eat.
For example, those ghosts floating around above or beside everyone.
For example,
"Li Yang, I finally found you." Harry's voice sounded from behind.
Li Yang looked back and saw that it was Harry, and he also brought two friends.
"These two are my new friends. This is Ron Weasley. Just call him Ron." Harry first pointed to the boy with red hair on his left and introduced him.
"Hello." Li Yang politely stretched out his hand.
Ron raised his hands, holding a chicken leg in each hand, indicating that he could not free his hands. His mouth was as big as Laifu's mouth, and it was filled with food, "Mmm, Mmmmm..."
"Can you swallow what you're talking about before you can speak? It's impolite." The girl with amazing hair standing on Harry's right side accused him.
Ron's mouth filled with food moved, not knowing what he was mumbling.
"It's okay." Li Yang waved his hand indifferently, turned to look at the girl, and also stretched out his hand, introducing himself: "Li Yang."
"Hermione Jane Granger, just call me Hermione." The girl reported her name and reached out to hold her hand and shook Li Yang for a moment.
Hermione?
A trace of surprise flashed through Li Yang's eyes.
Because he really didn't expect that the girl in front of him with exaggerated thick curly hair, plain-looking, and when she opened her mouth, she showed her two rabbit-like front teeth, was the goddess Hermione in the movie.
He had just thought that this was just another girl who happened to appear next to Harry and happened to have the same hairstyle.
Is the goddess so ugly in her childhood?
In line with courtesy, Li Yang also introduced Neville, who was sitting beside him, to Harry and the other two, "This is Neville Longbottom."
Although Neville didn't talk much to Li Yang on the train, he got off the train and followed Li Yang all the time. Especially after the strange period at the beginning, he was obviously a little cheerful. Although he didn't talk much, it was much better than the taciturn at the beginning.
"Hello."
"Hello."
"Um."
...After a brief meeting, the few people sat together nearby.
"Ding Ding Ding." Sitting in front of the restaurant, on the guest seat that was a little higher than the ground, was a particularly prominent gold chair in the center. On it was the principal Dumbledore. He took a small silver spoon and gently tapped the crystal cup three times.
The lively restaurant suddenly became quiet.
All the students stopped to eat and drink, and looked at Dumbledore in unison.
Dumbledore looked at Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall stood up, bypassed the guest seat, and walked out, "Everyone is full and drinks, and the fatigue on the journey has also been swept away. So, let's start the branch ceremony now. Please keep quiet for seniors. First-year freshmen leave the list, come to me, and stand the party."
All the freshmen immediately lined up according to Professor McGonagall's instructions.
"You stand in front of you."
"No, no, no, you are still ahead of me."
"It's still you."
...The freshmen have never experienced the branch ceremony, and most people even know nothing about the branch ceremony and are nervous, so they want to stand back as much as possible.
Unfortunately, Professor McGonagall did not start in the order of taking the team, but took out a list from his pocket and recited it one by one according to the name on the list:
"Hannah Aibo."
"Dean Thomas."
"Simo Fenigan."
...Pupils went up one by one and were assigned to various colleges by the branch. Such a strange branch ceremony made the students no longer feel uneasy, but instead squeezed forward one by one, eager to try.
"Harry, do you have a handkerchief or paper?" Ron's face also had a look of eagerness to try, but when he lowered his head and looked at his greasy hands, how could he go up like this? He quickly asked Harry for help in a low voice.
Harry took his pockets, let alone handkerchiefs and paper, and he had nothing but money.
Harry quickly asked Li Yang in front of him for help.
Hermione, who was standing behind Ron, couldn't see it anymore, took out her wand, whispered to Ron's greasy hands, "Did you forget that you are a wizard? I really admire you and clean up."
This was just a small and simple cleaning spell, so naturally there was no noise or attracting attention from others. The greasy part of Ron's hands was cleaned up.
"Thank you." Ron pursed.
"You're welcome." Hermione raised her head and put away her wand.
Li Yang, who was asked for help from Harry, naturally noticed the scene of Hermione casting. He didn't know what he thought of, and quietly changed positions with Harry and Ron, came to Hermione, and whispered to Hermione: "Your magic looks very skilled, you have been practicing at home for a long time, right?"
"It's okay, I have practiced several such little magic. As long as the pronunciation is correct, it will be mastered by basically once, no more than three times at most." Hermione said lightly, but her tone was filled with a strong sense of pride, as if she was a little girl showing off her transcript.
"That's amazing."
"It's OK."
After Li Yang praised her, he saw Hermione happy and got to the point and asked, "Where did you learn your magic? Is it in the book? It is said that the manager of Lihen Bookstore is extremely rigid and will never sell spell books to first-year students."
Hermione nodded, "So my spell book was bought by my parents."
Damn, it turns out that you can buy it as simple as this!!!
If I had known this, I would have spent money to hire two people and pretended to be parents to buy it?
When Li Yang thought of such a simple thing, he took the risk of going deep into the alley. It was a gunfight and a murder. He really wanted to hit and die on the branch hat in front of him.
"You are interested in the magic I just cast, are you? It doesn't matter, I can teach you back." Hermione said generously.
"Thank you, thank you." Li Yang said perfunctorily and turned around, but saw that Harry, Ron and Neville had all finished the academy.
As expected, they were all assigned to Gryffindor.
After a while, Hermione also finished the division, and it was also Gryffindor.
It's Li Yang's turn.
At this time, he felt a little worried.
"This branch hat is quite insane. Will you see through my thoughts or see that I am a time traveler?"
Now that things have come to this point, it is useless to think about it. When Li Yang picked up the branch hat, what he could do was relax his mind and keep his mind tight.
When the branch hat is put on,
"Wow!"
The strange scream of the branch hat made the teachers and students surprised.
"Peace, nervous, excited, depressed... Wow, it's really a contradictory and rich emotion. It's not like a twelve-year-old boy.
Well, will is as tough as a warrior, and its valuable quality is just mixed with a bit of laziness, which requires a strict person to teach. Otherwise, oh my god, I seem to see the ten Weasley brothers merge, let me observe a three-second silence for Hogwarts in advance...
Well, the heart is also quite strong, darkness and light, justice and evil, clear distinction, the heart is upright, not hesitating, not confused, shining with wisdom and almost terrifying light of reason, it seems that something is missing..."
You might as well say I am too careless.
The more Li Yang heard it, the more he became, the more he was wrong. All the worries in his heart were lost by the torn hat, and he said directly: "I want to go to Gryffindor."
"Gryffindor? Why? You don't seem to mind in your heart, is it Gryffindor or something. In fact, I think that Slytherin led by the strict Snape is more suitable for students like you? What? Dissatisfied? Disagree? Well, it seems that your will is indeed firm and cannot be shaken, then..."
The Sorting Hat finally announced loudly, "Gryffindor!"
The long table where Gryffindor students gathered immediately burst into welcome under the leadership of the chief.
Li Yang stood up, put the scoring hat back to Professor McGonagall, and sat down at the long table representing Gryffindor. Harry and others beside him were happier than him.
"Is this student difficult to choose?" Professor McGonagall presided over the branch ceremony for the other students. He looked at Li Yang at the long table and asked softly about the branch hat in his arms.
She didn't expect that the Li Yang branch would be divided for so long, even longer than Harry and Neville.
"This is the hardest choice I've ever made," said the Sorting Hat.
"Ding Ding Ding." The familiar sound of knocking on the cup sounded again.
The students who had just been excited about the separation of the hospital calmed down again and turned to look at Dumbledore.
"First-year students should pay attention to the woods outside the campus, and students are prohibited from entering.
Furthermore, it is best not to cast spells in the corridor during class, as it will add unnecessary trouble to our administrator, Mr. Felch. Believe me, Hogwarts has many places for practicing magic.
Finally, I must tell you seriously that anyone who does not want to suffer an accident and dies in pain should not enter the corridor on the right of the fourth floor."
Li Yang thought thoughtfully: "I have to think of a way. Enter the corridor on the right of the fourth floor. The magic stone must be there..."
