Chapter 30 Sorting Ceremony
When other students heard this, they immediately expressed their thoughts.

Some people said there was a water monster in the lake, some said there were innocent souls in the Black Lake, and some said Malfoy and the others just couldn't swim and made up lies about monsters to cover up their embarrassment.

Professor McGonagall was displeased with this divergent phenomenon, and immediately shouted: "Quiet!"

Once the unsmiling Professor McGonagall got angry, she was so intimidating that all the freshmen shut their mouths almost at the same time.

Professor McGonagall coughed lightly and asked, "Where is Hagrid?"

Harry from the crowd shouted back: "Send that boy to the infirmary!"

"Infirmary..." Professor McGonagall's forehead outlined a deep ravine, and she muttered: "I have to go there to see how the student is doing. You guys wait here for me to come back."

After Professor McGonagall left, a group of freshmen became noisy again, and everyone began to share their own tidbits about the sorting ceremony.

The first was Ron, who vowed: "I have five brothers studying at Hogwarts. They told me that the sorting ceremony is very strict. If you don't meet the standards, you will even be kicked out of the school tonight!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed: "Aren't we already enrolled? Why are we still being expelled? Didn't those things on the list be bought for nothing? That's a lot of money."

Ron, who was overconfident, rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said, "I heard it from Fred and George. They always like to tease me, or they may be lying to me."

At this time, another student said: "I don't think they lied to you. I heard that the sorting ceremony involves fighting a giant monster, and the sorting is based on the result of the battle. In previous years, many freshmen died because of this!"

Another exclamation came from the crowd, "No wonder some people always say that Hogwarts has a certain quota of deaths, and students die every year!"

Some girls who were already timid heard their discussion and began to hide in the corner and tremble.

Hermione impatiently interrupted the boys' speculations and said rationally: "How can the wizard's sorting ceremony be so barbaric? We are wizards, not warriors! How can we be asked to deal with creatures like trolls as soon as school starts? "

"Real wizards rely on their brains and knowledge! So, I think the sorting ceremony is actually a test, and the colleges are assigned based on the test scores!"

"Otherwise, why would the school remind us to buy textbooks a month in advance? Isn't it just to allow us to prepare for the exam early?"

Many freshmen nodded in agreement after hearing Hermione's explanation. This statement was much more reliable than fighting a troll.

But there are also many people with sad faces and sighs. They have never read any textbooks, and some even don't even know what the books they bought are.

"It's over, it's over! I will definitely get a zero score!"

"My book is still on the train, can I go back and get it?"

"It's late, those luggage have been sent to the dormitory now!"

Listening to the moans coming from all directions, Chu Yang shook his head helplessly, thinking that these little brats were pretty good at scaring him. He wouldn't have thought that if he killed them, he only needed to put the sorting hat on his head to complete the sorting ceremony.

Ron nervously pulled Harry's sleeve and asked, "Have you read those textbooks?" Harry shook his head and said, "My aunt and uncle didn't want me to come to Hogwarts, and they tried their best to prevent me from getting that textbook. The admission notice, it wasn’t until a few days ago that I got the opportunity to go to school with Hagrid’s help, do you think I’ve read it?”

"That's okay. It seems like we can definitely be assigned to the same house." Ron felt relieved and even had the mood to wink at Harry.

"You have such a good attitude." Harry was amused by Ron, then turned to look at Chu Yang and said with envy: "Chu Yang will definitely get the highest score."

"That's true. Chu Yang's brain is not comparable to that of ordinary people. I think only that girl can catch up with him." Ron smacked his lips, agreeing with Harry's thoughts.

Hermione was also in tune with them. She looked at Chu Yang seriously, and at the same time she was unconvinced and said somewhat resignedly: "You will probably get the first place in this exam, but it is only this time. I promise that in the next In the exam, my scores will be higher than yours!"

Although he knew that Hermione had guessed wrong about the sorting ceremony, Chu Yang still felt a headache because he could not give in on this issue.

Hogwarts's preference for genius is very obvious.

The aura of having excellent learning ability and being first in age can help Chu Yang obtain some small privileges, such as reading books in the library that ordinary students cannot read.

Moreover, the professors and teachers in the school are more willing to help talented students, which can help Chu Yang learn a lot of knowledge.

Just as the freshmen were thinking wildly, Professor McGonagall hurried to the infirmary and happened to see the head nurse, Madam Pomfrey, treating Malfoy while Hagrid stood by worriedly.

"Hagrid!" Professor McGonagall called him softly after entering the room.

"Oh! Professor McGonagall!" Hagrid was startled. He felt a little guilty and did not dare to look at Professor McGonagall. After all, strictly speaking, this was his work mistake.

"Ms. Pomfrey, how is the child's condition?" Professor McGonagall slowly walked to the head nurse and asked worriedly: "Does it need to be transferred to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies for treatment?"

"Professor McGonagall, don't worry, it's not that serious." Ms. Pomfrey smiled and said: "This new student just drank some dirty water and got cold from the cold. He will be fine after two or three days of rest."

Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. Then she turned to look at Hagrid and asked, "Before I came here, I heard those children tell some weird stories. Can you tell me what's going on?" ?"

Hagrid scratched his head and said, "When I turned around, he had already fallen into the lake. As for how he fell in, I didn't see it, but there was definitely something in the lake at that time!"

Professor McGonagall said swornly: "We all know that there are magical creatures in the Black Lake, but it is definitely not in that area. The fixed protected area is the contract that Hogwarts made with them very early. They don't dare to go to Dumbledore." Attacking students right under Lido’s nose!”

"Compared with this, I suspect that someone has used magic. Casting offensive magic on classmates is a very serious bad behavior."

Hagrid immediately shook his head and said: "Professor McGonagall, I was nearby at the time and did not feel any fluctuations in magic power. Moreover, the wands of those students were all left on the train. Do you think any of them are powerful enough?" Can you cast spells without a wand?"

"Hagrid, not everyone will follow the rules and regulations." Professor McGonagall took a deep breath and said solemnly: "When the sorting ceremony is over, I will check whether they have hidden wands one by one."
