Chapter 13 Branch
Although Arnold was not a very talkative person in the last life, and he rarely showed up in this life, but because of the pure blood family, Arnold taught himself without a teacher, brought an introduction, chatted with them, and even talked about some, in line with A modern joke that amused two little Loli very happily.
Soon the boat had reached the end, and the group saw the castle that was black at night. After getting off the boat, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a black wizard's robe and a very gloomy temperament standing there.
"Mr. Bagman, leave them to me! Your mission is complete."
"Yes, Dean Filch."
"My name is Arthur Filch, and I'm the dean of Slytherin. Now the little wizards are coming with me." After briefly introducing himself, the middle-aged man turned and walked towards the castle.
Hearing the name of this Slytherin dean, Arnold's eyes flickered, from the Filch family? It's no wonder that his Squib can be a night watchman here in the future. It turns out that his relatives used to be the dean of Slytherin here.
In the castle of Hogwarts, there are many torches, the stone walls are illuminated, the roof is very high, and the marble-paved stairs lead upstairs. If this is the home of the pure blood family, it is definitely the most beautiful. The noble one is indeed the case. It is said that the owner of this castle is Slytherin, and Slytherin was a pure-blood family at that time, and has a lot of property. Of course, this is just rumors.
"Welcome to Hogwarts. The opening dinner will start soon. You will be assigned to your respective academies. The assignment ceremony is very important. The four academies are Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenk. Law, Gryffindor, every house has its glorious and long history, and has produced outstanding wizards. During your time at school, if you perform well, you will give your house extra points, and if you don't, you will be deducted. At the end of each year, the college with the highest score will win the Champions Cup, so I will do some preparations, you stay here, and I will call you in turn.”
Perhaps it was the bad taste of Hogwarts, or perhaps it was the welcoming ceremony of the ghosts. After walking for less than a minute in Arthur Filch, everyone saw one ghost after another jumping out of the wall, seeing these Ghosts, some little wizards who have never seen ghosts, screamed in fear.
"Oh, it looks like this year's little wizard, it looks like there are fewer than last year."
"I heard that Muggles are fighting. The turmoil may have led to the wizarding world. I really don't know why there is a war."
"Guys, I hope you are assigned to Hufflepuff, the people there are very nice!"
"Don't listen to the fat monk, Gryffindor is good, I think Ravenclaw is good..."
"There was an argument here for a while, and then a bunch of ghosts flew off somewhere else."
After the ghost left, Arthur Filch, pushed open the door, "Come forward and prepare to attend the Sorting Awareness."
Following behind Arthur Filch, they entered the auditorium. There were four long tables in the auditorium, and people from the four divisions were sitting. There were many candles floating in the sky, illuminating the auditorium. Filled with glowing tableware, there is a long table on the stage, where the professor of Hogwarts sits, and Father Arnold sits in the center, and this position is called the headmaster.
After bringing everyone in, Arthur Filch walked to the sorting hat and said, "Now, start sorting, the first Andrew, Parkinson."
Hearing Arthur Filch's words, a young man with short black hair stepped forward and put the Sorting Hat on his head. As soon as he put it on, he heard the Sorting Hat shout, "Slytherin."
The first student of the new semester was Slytherin, which made Arthur Filch's face a lot happy. After sending Andrew away, Arthur Filch continued to call out the next name "Blu". Tus, Malfoy!"
"Slytherin!"
Some of the previous ones were Slytherins, and it wasn't until the seventh student that there was a Gryffindor, then the eighth Gryffindor, the ninth Gryffindor, and the tenth Gryffindor. Much, the eleventh Gryffindor,
"Albus, Dumbledore!"
"Gryffindor!"
As in the original plot, after Dumbledore put on the Sorting Hat, he was assigned to Gryffindor, and after Dumbledore was assigned, it was Erin and Freya, they were not like Arnold. As guessed, it was assigned to Gryffindor, but it was assigned to Ravenclaw.
As time went on, students were assigned one by one. Seeing that he hadn't heard his son's name for a long time, Blake was so nervous that he almost exploded, but before he did, someone must have blown up before him, and that was Hufflepuff. Dean of Chi, Nalissa, Hufflepuff.
Why is she going to blow up, because the end is about to end, and their academy doesn't have a freshman. This is so unscientific. Well, if it wasn't forbidding, Hufflepuff would probably jump down and smash it. That Sorting Hat is gone, don't wear such a pitiful one, don't we have a suitable student in our college? No, it's not inappropriate, there are no freshmen, the entire first year of Hufflepuff doesn't have a freshman, are you kidding me?
One after another, the students were assigned to other colleges. Dean Na Lisha was about to cry, and soon only Arnold Black was left. At this time, Dean Na Lisha felt a deep despair. f*ck, I guess he is the first dean of Hogwarts since the establishment of the school without a freshman in the first year, and maybe he will be engraved into the Cup of Disgrace by then.
"The last one, Arnold, Blake!"
Hearing his name, Arnold stepped forward gracefully. Under the candlelight, his handsome appearance was revealed. Seeing Arnold's face, some of the college sisters and students at the same level were a little drunk. So handsome and noble.
Walking to the front of the Sorting Hat, Arnold frowned when he saw the dusty Sorting Hat, and then snapped his fingers. Under the shocked eyes of the school teachers and students, the Sorting Hat became clean and spotless, like a Like new.
"Casting without a stick, it turned out to be a spell without a stick, such a clever magic control!"
After clearing the Sorting Hat, Arnold bent over to Arthur Filch beside him and said, "I'm sorry, Dean Filch, I'm a little clean."*
