He said to Ron like this, and then pulled Ron to follow...

Bang!

The car door was opened, and a gust of cold wind came in, making all the little wizards shiver.

But before they got used to it, a three-meter-tall giant appeared in front of them, holding a lamp and shaking it above the students' heads: "First-year freshmen! First-year freshmen come here..."

It's Rubeus Hagrid!

It is almost exactly the same as Hagrid in the movie, but taller, estimated to be at least [-] meters.

But Ringo stopped paying attention after just a glance.

it's too cold……

The weather in England is...

Cursing inwardly, he took out his wand and cast a warming spell on both himself and Hermione—this was recorded in the "Compendium of Household Spells".

"This spell really works." Hermione admired.

But soon stopped talking.

There were shredding and shivering freshmen everywhere, no one wanted to chat, only Hagrid was still calling the freshmen to go down a steep and narrow path, and then pointed to the front and said loudly: "Turn this corner, you will be there soon." Going to see Hogwarts for the first time."

The words fall.

Ringo has walked over.

suddenly see the light.

A black lake appeared in front of him. The surface of the lake was sparkling, and strange black shadows occasionally passed by. Looking along the surface of the lake, there stood a majestic and familiar castle on the high hillside on the other side, with many spiers on it. , one window after another flickered under the starry sky.

"Hogwarts!" he said silently, "here I come..."

In order to commemorate the rowing of the four founders when they entered Hogwarts for the first time, Hogwarts first-year freshmen will row across the Black Lake and arrive at the castle according to the convention.

Ringo pulled Hermione into the boat with Harry and Ron.

Then I recalled the process in my mind: Dock → Cliff Stairs → Entrance Hall → Auditorium → Main Tower.

wow...

Something hit the hull just below the surface of the lake.

"What's that?" Ron was taken aback. "Neither Fred nor George told me."

Ringo recovered.

Through the surface of the lake, he saw a figure in the water. It was a creature with unkempt dark green hair, eyes gleaming under the moonlight, exuding animal wisdom.

"Mermaids, there is a group of mermaids in the Black Lake." He explained in a low voice, "It is recorded in "Hogwarts: A School History" that Dumbledore made an agreement with them to allow them to settle in the Black Lake , be careful, they are not very friendly..."

Even so.

After looking at the mermaid for a while, Ringo slowly put his hand into the water.

wow...

The mermaid also approached slowly. It was a little small and curious about humans. At the same time, it felt that Ringo was more interesting than other humans, so it also reached out and gave Ringo a high-five, and then quickly dived and disappeared.

The three little ones looked at each other in blank dismay: Is this not very friendly?

This is just a small episode.

Soon...

The freshmen went ashore, and after walking through the cliff stairs, they were brought to the entrance hall by Hagrid: "First-year freshman, Professor McGonagall."

"Thank you Hagrid, just leave it to me."

In front of the castle gate, a tall black-haired witch in an emerald green robe stood there with a serious expression. It was Mag.

"Hello, Professor McGonagall." Ringo happened to be in front of her, and greeted her after looking at her.

And McGonagall has a deep memory of him, especially the politeness of Shelby's family. A smile appeared on his serious face: "Hello, Mr. Shelby, it's a pleasure to see you here."

It's a pity that the smile was fleeting.

After saying hello.

McGonagall cast a loud curse on himself: "Welcome to Hogwarts, the school feast is about to begin. But before you take your seats, you still need to confirm which house you will enter..."

She briefly introduced the situation of the four colleges.

Talking about the little wizards looking forward, nervous and worried, even Ringo was emotionally infected and a little nervous.

seemingly……

Does the Sorting Hat have Legilimency?

But this is also easy to handle - Legilimency is not to read memory at will, but to read surface thoughts by affecting emotions.

As long as I don't think about time travel, it's fine.

Ok……

I've already decided to join the Salvation Team, so I must silently say "Go to Gryffindor" before going up. I remember that Hermione and Harry both did this. The Sorting Hat will fully respect the little wizard's personal choice...

Ringo thought wildly.

Even the commotion caused by the ghosts of many colleges popping up nearby did not alarm him.

It wasn't until he entered the auditorium that he came back to his senses and turned back into a child, screaming along with the other freshmen: "Wow! Such a long table with different colors!"

"A lot of candles!"

"Is the hall open-air? Why does the weather look different from outside?"

"The tableware is all gold, it's too extravagant..."

"Is the guest of honor our future teacher? They all look very strange. The old man with the white beard in the middle is Dumbledore?"

"Wow..."

After a short period of calming down, it was the happy sorting session.

First, the Sorting Hat sang, bowed after singing, and then there was thunderous applause from the audience. Finally, McGonagall came forward with a roll of parchment: "Whoever's name I call now, put on the hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the sorting." , the first... Hannah Abbott!"

Ringo is hardly too familiar with this scene:

Hannah Abbott went to Hufflepuff;

Terry Boot went to Ravenclaw;

Lavender Brown became Gryffindor's first freshman;

The first Slytherin was Millicent Burst;

Later, Hermione went to Gryffindor, Neville went to Gryffindor, and Malfoy was assigned to Slytherin as soon as he got his hat.

Only when Harry was sorted was the most sensational, Gryffindor exploded in an instant, and the Wesley twins even jumped up, shouting loudly, "We have Potter! We have Potter..."

until……

When there are only a few people left.

"Ringo? Shelby "Ringo? Shelby"" McGonagall finally called him.

Ringo stepped forward.

By this time he had calmed down.

First of all, as a Muggle-born wizard, he was completely out of touch with Slytherin;

Secondly, he has outstanding learning ability and is absolutely in line with Ravenclaw;

Again, he likes fairy tales and small animals, and he aspires to become a magical creature trainer at Hogwarts in the future. He is very similar to Newt, and Hufflepuff is also very suitable;

In the end, he felt that he was also very courageous, bold and fearless, and possessed most of the characteristics of an excellent character. Even if Gryffindor was reborn, he would not deny himself.

The three colleges are actually okay, but Ringo still wants to rub Harry's boat...

of course.

To make sure nothing goes wrong.

Ringo, who was sitting on the bench, still ruled out other thoughts, just kept echoing in his mind: "I'm going to Gryffindor, I'm going to Gryffindor..."

Mag came up with the sorting hat.

"I'm going to Gryffindor...Gryffindor...Gryffindor..."

then.

Ringo saw the sorting hat fall on his head.

In such a short moment, just like Malfoy's situation, the Sorting Hat had just touched his hair, and before even touching his scalp, he howled loudly: "Slytherin!"

"014" Roommate Malfoy

Ge... what?Slytherin?

? ?

Ringo's eyes widened, his eyes full of disbelief.

what's the situation?Did it say that the Sorting Hat will fully respect the little wizard's personal choice?Could it be that they only respect the personal choices of Rowling's son's family?

Why should I be thrown at Slytherin without even having a conversation--I'm a "Mudblood"!

For a moment, he thought he had heard wrong.

But the next moment.

He heard the sparse applause——

Definitely from a small part of Slytherin's senior year....

It's just that this small group was bulging, and found that the atmosphere was not quite right, and the other Slytherins were glaring at them viciously.

So...

The fragmented applause quickly disappeared.

But it is enough.

Amid the applause, everyone realized this—the Muggle-born wizard, Ringo Shelby, who had just fought with the pure-blood family Malfoy in the car, was assigned to Slytherin!Is the sorting hat broken?Are you still kidding me?

Some young wizards subconsciously looked at other colleges.

then……

They saw Draco Malfoy and his followers who looked disgusted as if they had stepped on cow dung;

Seeing most of the Gryffindor freshmen with disbelief but turned to worry;

I saw Penelope Clearwater, the Ravenclaw prefect who was quite sorry, and... no more, it was like a little Hufflepuff wizard watching bystanders.

of course……

final final.

All perspectives still return to Ringo.

I saw McGonagall walking up and interrupting the sluggishness of all the little wizards including Ringo: "Mr. Shelby, what's wrong with you? You don't look very good."

"I, I'm fine." Ringo reacted, and his face slowly recovered. After all, he was an adult. After calming down, he took off his hat and returned it to Mag, and said to Mag, "I just thought I would go into Granville. Fendo, I didn't expect..."

He glanced at the Gryffindor table rather "unfortunately".

And "helplessly" looked at Slytherin.

"Oh, Mr. Shelby, I'm also very sorry that you didn't get into Gryffindor." Originally, McGonagall felt sorry for being assigned to Slytherin because of his favorite Ringo, but now seeing Ringo's volunteer It's also my own Gryffindor, but it's a pity that it becomes a heartache.

But she is a decent person after all, so she still encourages, "But don't be too sad, Slytherin, as a quarter of Hogwarts, is also an excellent house, I believe you will also have a good school in Slytherin." doing..."

"Thank you for your encouragement, Professor McGonagall, I will work hard!"

Ringo smiled gratefully.

Then he stood up, bathed in dozens of malicious eyes with infinite peace, and walked towards the Slytherin table.

"Ringo Shelby, the one who beat Malfoy in the car for some Gryffindors."

"Never heard the name 'Shelby'. "
