A certain Hogwarts magical cat

Chapter 180 Sorting Ceremony



Chapter 180 Sorting Ceremony
With Charlie's consent, Alice had already told Hermione about Charlie's sound transmission and various magical abilities while taking the Hogwarts Express.

And Hermione also communicated with Charlie on the train,
So when Hermione poked her head over, Alice told her exactly what she had just learned from Charlie.

"I didn't expect that you really came to the school with a magic car. This matter will not end so easily. Snape will not let it go!"

After Hermione heard Alice's words, she reminded Harry and Ron, who were invisible to Alice, a little angrily.

"After the school feast is over, we will take the initiative to ask Professor McGonagall to explain the situation. We didn't intend to drive the magic car to the school, but there are some accidents and we can't help it!"

Harry and Ron knew that since they were on the Daily Prophet, they would definitely be unable to escape in the end, but it was much better to fall into the hands of Professor McGonagall than to fall into the hands of Snape.

"Stop discussing this, the sorting ceremony has begun!"

Alice saw that Neville and the others had begun to notice them, and interrupted quickly.

"Actually, it's just a training at most, and expulsion is impossible!"

Charlie knew that this matter was nothing at all. One was the son of prophecy and the other was a child of the Weasley family. No matter whether it was Dumbledore, McGonagall, or Snape, they would not be expelled. Besides, there was a reason why they didn't catch the Hogwarts Express.
And Snape was just trying to scare Harry and Ron out of bad taste.

Looking up at the top of the auditorium, Charlie didn't see the sorting ceremony last year because he wanted to earn experience. Speaking of which, this is the first time to watch the Hogwarts sorting ceremony.
In fact, the process is not complicated, but it is also quite interesting.

What Charlie paid the most attention to was not the newborn wizards, but the old Sorting Hat singing.

It is said that this thousand-year-old hat was a very common hat of Godric Gryffindor, the four creators of Hogwarts back then.

In order for the freshmen to be correctly assigned to different colleges after their death, the four creators used the most top-level activation spell to endow the hat with real "humanity",
And endowed it with a mind-reading ability similar to "Legiliency",

Therefore, this hat not only has its own wisdom and thoughts, but also can read the thoughts of the wearer after wearing it on the head.

……

Seeing the big from the small, Charlie can imagine how powerful the four creators of Hogwarts College were back then.
Maybe the magic spells they mastered are not as many as the magic spells mastered by wizards now, and their power and effect are not so outstanding, but the magic power they possess is definitely not worse than that, known as the greatest wizard of this century, Dumbledore,

It should even be stronger.

Sometimes, Charlie feels that although some spells of wizards are not lethal, they are really against the sky, just like this activation spell, which can give "humanity" to any inanimate object when practiced to the highest level.
Isn't this the same as in the fairy tales he listened to in his previous life, those gods "enlightened" the mortal things, and already had a trace of the inner taste of the creator.

Of course, after thousands of years of development, wizards are also making continuous progress. The current wizards must be more comprehensive and powerful than ancient wizards in terms of abilities.

However, this cannot be said completely. The ancient wizards did not have the Ministry of Magic. Although there was little communication, there were no restrictions. Some dark wizards who pursue power can actually use many cruel methods to develop spells.
Therefore, some individual dark wizards are still very powerful in combat.

Even Voldemort's method of making Horcruxes was inherited from ancient dark wizards, and modern normal wizards would not dare to develop this kind of spell.

"Ginny Weasley!"

After several little wizards were sorted, Ginny, who had long reddish-brown thick hair, was called up by Professor McGonagall,
"Gryffindor!"

The hat announced Ginny's sorting result without hesitation.

Gryffindor, where Alice was, burst into warm applause, welcoming Ginny into the Gryffindor long table,

And Ron even yelled, almost revealing the secret of being invisible.

"Luna Lovegood!"

After Ginny passed, another little wizard whom Charlie knew was called up. It was the daughter of Xenophilius Lovegood who Charlie was about to attack in the village of Ottery St. Catchpole before.
She had messy, waist-length, dirty blond hair, very light eyebrows, and bulging eyes that gave her a constant look of surprise,

Perhaps it was because she saw her mother's death with her own eyes. Although the little girl was not very old, she was quite mature. She didn't feel nervous when other little wizards were called up, and she was very calm.

"Ravenclaw!"

After a pause for a few seconds, Mr. Hat quickly reported the academy the little girl was going to.

After the sorting ceremony,
Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment, reached out and took the sorting hat and temporarily exited, while Dumbledore stood up slowly:
"Good evening boys, we're going to have a job change this year,
Now, welcome to this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher - Professor Gilderoy Lockhart! "

At this time, Gilderoy Lockhart, who was sitting next to Hagrid and wearing a water-green robe, stood up gracefully, showed a smile that he thought was charming to the little wizards, and waved gently,
"what!!!"

In the entire auditorium, the screams of the girls resounded instantly.

"My God, I didn't expect Gilderoy Lockhart, a well-known writer and adventurer, to be the teacher of our Defense Against the Dark Arts class!"

At this time, Hermione next to Alice also screamed.

"No wonder the textbooks of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class are all written by him himself. They are really... Well, Hermione, can you be more reserved!"

Obviously, when it comes to money, Alice's mind is much more rational.

"Dinner, start!"

After introducing the new professor Gilderoy Lockhart, Dumbledore didn't talk nonsense and started the dinner directly.

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the house elves in the kitchen immediately cast their magic and moved the sumptuous dinner that had been prepared to the four long tables in an instant.
"Harry! It's Harry!"

"And Ron!"

"Did you really come to school in a magic car?"

"Oh my god, that's so cool!"

As the dinner began, the Gryffindor wizards who had just been attracted by the sorting ceremony also found Harry and Ron who appeared on the long table.

Halfway through the sorting ceremony, Charlie lifted the Disillusionment spell on Harry and Ron,
Otherwise, when the little wizards of Gryffindor sat down after sorting, they would find two invisible people on the bench occupying their seats, which would be more conspicuous.
