Hogwarts: Become the Heir of the Family at the Start

Chapter 13 The branch started

Minerva McGonagall, the vice-principal of Hogwarts.

She glanced at the freshmen blankly, and then said, “Welcome to Hogwarts. In a while, you will walk through this door and gather with other students, but before you sit in, first The sorting ceremony is to be carried out.”

“Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, no matter which college you are assigned to, Hogwarts is your common home, please keep this in mind.”

“Of course, in order to select better students, competition is not forbidden in the school, so everyone should study hard, perform well, and strive to add glory to your college and win more honors.”

“Okay, the sorting ceremony will begin immediately, everyone is quieter, come in with me first!”

When the voice fell, Professor McGonagall turned around and pushed open the gate of the castle.

The freshmen kept silent, and walked in immediately afterwards.

In the magnificent lobby, a lot of people have gathered at this time, a total of four rows of tables and chairs, one row is a college student.

In the innermost part of the lobby, there are some professors headed by Dumbledore.

The white marble floor is spotless, and the long table is placed with crystal goblets and golden plates, as well as exquisite cutlery.

There are pots of flames hanging on the walls on both sides of the lobby.

Looking up, there is a candle floating out of thin air, and a dome as wonderful as a real starry sky, like black velvet inlaid with precious stones.

It is full of mystery and tranquility, but also very dazzling.

All the new students were dumbfounded, and were shocked to speak completely.

Hodge is also observing, but unlike other new students, he is observing the magic of these magics, thinking about its mode of operation and function.

“Hello freshmen, I’m the principal of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore. Before the sorting ceremony begins, I must say something.”

When the freshmen came to the center of the lobby, Dumbledore stood up and said.

“Article one, it is strictly forbidden for all students to enter without authorization over the Forbidden Forest.”

“Second, magic is not allowed in the corridors of the castle, and offenders will be severely punished.”

“Third, you cannot leave the college dormitory and walk around in the castle during the night break…”

“Article 4, you can’t leave the school without authorization. If you have something to do, go to your dean to explain the situation…”

After Dumbledore finished speaking several rules, the sorting ceremony officially began.

“Anglia Cecil!”

Professor McGonagall read the name with a piece of parchment.

A little girl came out and sat down on the stool in front, and then Professor McGonagall put the sorting hat on her head, and half of her face was invisible.

“Gryffindor!”

In just a few seconds, the Sorting Hat yelled.

“Ooooo~~”

Applause, clapping the table, and all kinds of howls came from Gryffindor.

“Quiet!”

Professor McGonagall scolded, then continued to roll the call.

“Lambert…”

“Wallis…”

“James Potter!”

Pulling James, he walked out at a pace that his six relatives did not recognize, and snorted coldly when he passed by Hodge.

“Gryffindor!”

Without any accident, James Potter was assigned to Gryffindor.

This also made him very proud, like a peacock, walked up to the Gryffindor table with his head up.

Next was Sirius. Without following the footsteps of his family’s elders, he also went to Gryffindor.

Remus Lupin, the same as Gryffindor.

Peter Pettigrew, or Gryffindor.

Snape, Slytherin of the Snake Yard.

So far, the situation of the branch is still the same as the original, and nothing has changed because of the appearance of Hodge.

But when Lily went up, things were a little different.

“Hufflepuff, Hufflepuff…”

Wearing a sorting hat, Lily closed her eyes and kept mumbling in her heart, both of her small hands were tightly clenched, looking very nervous.

“Well….. He obviously has a brave heart, why do you want to go to Hufflepuff so much?”

The Sorting Hat wrinkled his face and muttered very suspiciously.

“Oh, it turned out to be because of the person you like, do you want to follow the other person’s footsteps? This is really a difficult question to choose!”

“Forget it, I don’t want to hurt the purest heart of a little girl, then… Hufflepuff!”

With the last sound, the Sorting Hat shouted directly.

“Yeah!!”

Hearing this result, Lily was also very happy and almost didn’t jump up.

Ordinarily, the sorting hat is not very good at observing the ideas of students, and will only assign the most suitable college for each student according to their talents and personality.

However, this is not an absolute matter.

As long as the student’s beliefs are strong enough, it will also respect personal ideas.

For example, Sirius, if according to his talent and origin, Slytherin is undoubtedly the best place for him.

But because of different beliefs, the Sorting Hat threw him to Gryffindor.

“Hodge Campbell!” Professor McGonagall continued.

Finally arrived at Hodge, and he stepped out.

“Huh? What a powerful magic!”

Seemingly feeling, Dumbledore, who had been very leisurely, also turned his head and put his gaze on Hodge.

“Principal, what’s wrong with this kid?” a professor next to him asked.

“Good thing, it seems that our school is going to have another great genius. At such a young age, he has magical powers far surpassing that of an adult wizard, but it is much stronger than when I was a child.”

Dumbledore said with a smile.
