Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 16 Join if you can't beat it
Kyle has always been curious about how Hogwarts' newborn boats move.

He had always thought it was magic before, but now he was a little suspicious.

Because Kyle observed for a long time, but never found any trace of magic on the boat.

And Hagrid, a half-breed giant nearly four meters tall, was much heavier than four first-year wizards, but the draft of his boat was exactly the same as the other boats, which was obviously abnormal.

Of course, it is also possible that more advanced and hidden magic has been applied to these boats, or simply some kind of alchemy item, but Kyle still prefers to believe that there is something holding the boat at the bottom of the lake.

"The giant squid?"

He poked his head out to look under the water, but unfortunately the visibility of the Black Lake at night was too low, and he couldn't see anything except his own reflection.

……

Soon, the boat left the tunnel and docked at a place similar to an underground pier.

Everyone disembarked one after another, followed Hagrid up a cobblestone-paved ground, and finally reached a flat, wet grass under Hogwarts Castle.

After that, everyone followed the stone steps and came to a huge oak door.

"Welcome to Hogwarts."

After Hagrid finished speaking, he turned around and raised his huge fist, knocking three times on the castle gate.

The door slammed open.

An older cat in an emerald green robe... Ahem, a black-haired witch is standing in front of the gate.

I have to admit that some people have a silent aura when they appear on the stage, just like the head teacher who appears in the back door window of the classroom. Anyone who sees it will subconsciously shut up.

The same goes for Professor McGonagall.

As soon as she showed up, the noisy discussions around her suddenly stopped.

Even Hagrid became more reserved, and said solemnly: "The first-year students are here, Professor McGonagall."

"Thank you Hagrid, leave this to me."

Professor McGonagall glanced at everyone, then opened the door and led everyone into the castle.

The stone walls around the castle were full of blazing torches, and a wave of heat rushed over, dispelling the cold outside, and also reassuring many shivering little wizards who were frozen.

To their right was a closed door, and Kyle could clearly hear the buzzing of voices inside.

But Professor McGonagall did not stop here, but took them to an empty room at the other end of the hall.

"First of all, welcome to Hogwarts."

While everyone was looking at the surrounding environment, Professor McGonagall skillfully said the opening remarks once a year.

"The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you take your seats in the auditorium, you must first confirm which college you have entered. Sorting is a very important ceremony, because when you are in school, the college is like you in Huo Gwartz's house..."

Although he knew all about this matter, Kyle still listened very carefully.

If you are not serious, who asked him to stand in the first row, right under the nose of Professor McGonagall, if he deserted at this time, it would be difficult for him to live in Hogwarts in the future.

In addition, this is also a famous scene, and there is only one chance, so Kyle naturally doesn't want to miss it.

At this time, Professor McGonagall had finished talking about the College Cup and began to introduce the four colleges.

They are... Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

Or to put it more simply, reckless, foodie, academic master, pure blood.

When it came to this, all the little wizards around listened very seriously, their eyes were full of yearning, and they would glance towards the auditorium from time to time, as if wishing they could rush in the next second.

It can be seen that this is what they are most looking forward to.

……

"In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of the teachers and students of the whole school. I suggest that you tidy up yourselves and look more energetic while waiting."

"I'll pick you up when it's ready over there." Professor McGonagall gave everyone a final glance: "Please keep quiet while waiting."

I have to say that Professor McGonagall's last sentence was a bit redundant. After she left the room, the silent mode around her was instantly lifted.

A group of young wizards gathered together, excitedly discussing what might happen next.

"How do we sort the houses? Do we choose ourselves?" A little witch asked nervously.

This is also the question that everyone is most concerned about.

"Maybe it's some kind of test, like Smelting High School." A young Muggle-born wizard turned his head and looked at his companions, and said loudly: "When I received the letter from Hogwarts, I already Got accepted to Smeltings, but I chose here ... I mean, Professor McGonagall convinced my mum, who was adamant that I go to Smeltings."

It was a show-off, but unfortunately it didn't work out well.

After all, everyone is concerned about the branch now, who cares about Smelting Middle School, and there are some people here who don't even know what Smelting Middle School is.

"I think the deans should choose their own students." Someone said confidently: "Ilvermorny is like this, but they use statues. My father and the director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic are friends. , he told me."

This is Xiu Dae's.

However, compared with the previous test, his words were obviously more convincing, and he immediately gained a large number of supporters.

This made him extremely proud. He raised his head and talked about his father whenever he met.

Those who didn't know thought his father was the Minister of Magic.

At this moment, Kyle suddenly felt someone pulling the sleeve of his robe, and turned around to find that Connor was looking at him nervously.

"Kyle, is it really the dean's choice?" Connor said nervously, "What will I do if no college is willing to ask me? Will I be expelled?"

"Don't worry, it's definitely not." Kyle said with a smile: "Think about it, Ilvermorny and Hogwarts are two schools, how could it be possible to use the same sorting method, that would be too tasteless .”

"Is that so..."

Connor breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "Then do you know how we are sorted?"

"Well... I know."

Kyle thought about it, decided to tell the truth, and sneaked into Connor's ear and whispered:
"It's nothing, it's just that everyone is given the Avada Kedavra curse by the professor, and those who survive will be able to enroll. Don't worry, they will definitely not be expelled."

……

Coincidentally, a ghost just passed by them at this time.

Kyle turned his head and waved his hand naturally: "Hello, senior, we are going to be sorted soon, wish us success."

Although the ghost couldn't understand what the little wizard was saying, when someone greeted him, he subconsciously nodded in response.

Seeing this scene, the light in Kang Na's eyes disappeared instantly, and she stood there dumbly as if she lost her soul.
