Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Chapter 13 Independent Sorting and the Sorting Hat
Lin Xia was not looking for this voice. She had a hunch that she would soon meet the owner of the voice.

But he said it was different from what was written in the book... Lin Xia had an excited expression on her face, but deep down she was thinking: Could it be a book like a prophecy?
The divination skills she learned in her previous life could not be used in this world, and were all converted into a compass in her mind. But she knew that there was divination in this world, which was called prophecy.

"Come on, follow me. First-year students, follow the taller old students. Don't get separated. Watch your step and don't fall!" Hagrid shouted.

The little wizards followed the tall Hagrid, and with the support of their seniors and sisters, they kept walking forward, and soon came to the ground paved with red, green, blue, and yellow ribbons.

Hagrid said: "The freshmen are watching my movements. Because Hogwarts is far away, the college has specially laid a fast slide to help you get there quickly. Just stand on the ribbon and it will automatically send you forward." Walk."

Hagrid stood on a red ribbon with a lion printed on it. The little pink umbrella knocked on the ground, and the ribbon automatically rolled forward, sending him to the opposite side very quickly. Then Hagrid jumped onto another ribbon. .

In the blink of an eye, he was far away from the little wizards.

The little wizard said "Wow" and swarmed forward onto the ribbon.

Lin Xia stood on the ribbon from the Badger Academy, and then she tried all the ribbons from all the colleges. It felt like she was playing on a rolling slide.

With the help of the fast slide, the towering castle in the distance becomes closer and closer.

The castle is as high as the sky, with towering spiers and windows twinkling under the stars, exuding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

All the little wizards gathered on the grass in front of the castle. Looking up, the castle seemed to tower above their heads.

A young wizard approached Hagrid and asked curiously: "Teacher, I heard before that there are many trees at the entrance of Hogwarts. When night comes, the shadows of the trees will make it difficult to see the road, and you will also pass by a black lake. It’s called the Black Lake.”

Hagrid said embarrassedly: "Kid, I'm not a teacher, I'm just your guide. You can call me Hagrid. You're right, Hogwarts was like this ten years ago."

"But after Dumbledore came to power," he paused, "Speaking of Dumbledore, he was a great wizard and issued many reform policies, which were very helpful to the school. Among them, for the safety of young wizards, Rectify Black Lake.”

“I don’t know if Black Lake heard our decision, but one night, it moved to the back of Hogwarts, next to the Forbidden Forest.

Hogwarts is very spiritual. It is not only a college, but also a powerful fortress. You must not provoke it. "

Hagrid frightened them a few words, just wanting them to stop painting on the walls. He had to clean up these marks every year, which was really bad.

Lin Xiaduo glanced at the little wizard who asked the question and recognized him as the owner of the murmur.

Everyone followed Hagrid, climbed a set of stone steps, and gathered in front of a huge oak door.

Hagrid raised his huge fist and knocked hard on the castle door three times.

The door opened immediately and the foyer was so large that it could accommodate several courts.

The stone walls are surrounded by blazing torches, the ceiling is so high that you can barely see the top, and there is a luxurious marble staircase in front of it. The castle is bigger and bigger than imagined.

A tall black-haired witch wearing an emerald green robe stood at the door, looking at the little wizards seriously.

The little wizard was still making noises and screaming, but when the witch glanced at him, he immediately fell silent.

The witch handed over to Hagrid, and she led the little wizard forward, arriving at a place with several doors.

There was a buzzing sound from the door on the right, and someone was communicating inside, but the witch took the new student to the spacious empty room at the other end of the hall. After all the little wizards entered the empty room, the witch said: "Welcome to Hogwarts. You can call me Professor McGonagall. The opening party is about to begin, but before that, you must first make sure you enter." Which college, branching is a very important ceremony...

The names of the four houses are: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Each house has a glorious history and has cultivated many outstanding wizards..."

The lengthy introduction did not dampen the spirits of the little wizards, but instead made them more excited.

Lin Xia felt a little hungry and took out a pack of Qiaqia melon seeds from her small purse. It would be better if there was a small bench to sit on.

Professor McGonagall changed his words and said, "Now, you have two choices. Decide which college you want to go to through the sorting ceremony, or you can branch independently. You can go to whichever college you want."

A young wizard bravely asked: "What's the difference between these two ways of sorting?"

Professor McGonagall: "Essentially, there is no difference. No matter which house you come from, you are all students of Hogwarts. The former is determined by the sorting hat, and the latter is your inner choice."

"What if I decide to go to that college and find out that I was assigned to the wrong college?" Another young wizard asked.

Professor McGonagall raised her head slightly and said seriously: "The school has considered this and will give you one month to repent. Only students who choose to branch independently will have the opportunity to repent. Remember, you only have one chance."

She emphasized again, "If you can't make a choice, then follow your heart. In a few minutes, your branching will be conducted in the presence of all the teachers and students of the school."

Draco's expression moved slightly and he said with interest: "Lin Xia, how about we choose to branch independently?"

He was originally worried about what to do if the Sorting Hat insisted on sorting him into Slytherin. If he chose to sort him into an independent house, he could go to Hufflepuff.

Lin Xia thought of the content in "Dream Divination" and shook her head: "No, Draco, my heart tells me that I want the ancient Sorting Hat to choose the college I go to."

There is definitely something wrong with the independent branch, otherwise no one would be sent to investigate. The words "alien mixing in" made her wary.

Draco wanted to say something, but Lin Xia added: "Draco, you come from an ancient family and should follow the more ancient sorting ceremony."

"Okay." Draco held it in for a long time, unable to think of a reason to refute, so he could only agree.

A few minutes later, under the guidance of Professor McGonagall, the little wizards lined up in two rows, left the room, and passed through another door to the luxurious auditorium.

The little wizards opened their mouths in amazement, and even Draco couldn't help but exclaim, his family's manor couldn't compare at all!

Thousands of candles floated above the auditorium, and when they looked up, they could see the stars shining, as if they were in an open-air auditorium, holding a sorting ceremony when the stars were twinkling.

The seniors and seniors sat at four long tables. The tables were very wide and huge, with distinctive color marks. Each table was decorated with sparkling gold plates and tall wine glasses.

Some seniors raised their glasses and smiled at them, and some even cheered, clapped and whistled at them.

"Welcome to Hogwarts!"

The little wizards were infected by this emotion and couldn't help but jump up and down with excitement.
