Xiao Er's eyelids twitched, hehe, if you dare to relax your mind and don't mention the possibility of being spied on through time travel and the system, in case the Sorting Hat knows his talent for black magic and finally shouts "Azkaban", then It's fun.
So he confessed directly to the Sorting Hat.
"I'm going to Slytherin."
The sorting hat is just interesting.
"Hey, are you teaching me how to do things?"
"You think so, right? I'm pure-blooded, very ambitious, and respects glory (pretentious). Where would I go if I don't go to Slytherin?"
"Hmph, if you ask me to do it, I'll do it? Wouldn't that be very embarrassing? Are you afraid that I will assign you to another academy?"
Xiao Er is very tired, a broken hat has so many things to do, and he must always be "convincing others with virtue".
With a wave of his hand, a blue water mass with a diameter of one meter slowly formed out of thin air, and then quickly spun and came to the top of the sorting hat.
On the seat, Dumbledore, who was smiling at first, narrowed his eyes suddenly, and many thoughts crossed his mind, when did his trick spread out?
Professor McGonagall was even more stunned. First, he was amazed at Xiao Er's silent and wandless spellcasting and magic talent, and then he whispered to Xiao Er to take away the spell.
Xiao Er acted as if he couldn't hear, and had already started threatening the Sorting Hat nakedly.
"Broken hat, if you let me go to another academy, I will make you lose face even more. For example, I will give you a bath. Let me tell you first, my water has its own electric shock effect. There are already dozens of people on the train today. The students have experienced it, do you want to try it?"
The Sorting Hat opened its mouth wide, and then mumbled after a long while.
"Ah, it's been thousands of years, and you're still the first person to threaten me. I'm a relic of the founder, so precious and priceless, ah, stop, stop, stop quickly..."
The Sorting Hat wanted to pretend to be aggressive, but when the swirling water ball touched it, it immediately froze and shouted.
"Slytherin!"
Following its announcement, the hall was once again silent, but not entirely, and three people immediately jumped onto the long table to celebrate.
That was Draco and his useless two men.
"Haha, we have Xiao Er!"
Shaw revoked the spell, stood up and bowed slightly to the angry McGonagall to apologize, then walked towards the Slytherin table, and nodded to Hermione at the Ravenclaw table.
"What the hell, why is Shaw assigned to Slytherin! He's the one who completely embarrasses those people!"
"Damn it, the Sorting Hat must be Alzheimer's."
"..."
The other three colleges once again burst into complaints and regrets, saying everything.
Draco jumped off the table excitedly, pulled Shaw to sit beside him, and said incoherently.
"I thought you would be expelled. My father saved you. Just now I had a fight with those who were defeated by you. You don't know. They didn't dare to talk back when I scolded you. Now you Just come, and we will dominate Slytherin together in the future."
Shaw didn't even bother to complain about Draco's self-promotion, nor did he expose Malfoy's hidden behavior.
Seeing that Shaw was seated, Dumbledore stood up and knocked on the silver cup on the table, making a crisp sound.
The students in the auditorium calmed down with dignity, and turned their gazes around, ready to listen to the principal's speech.
"It's another new year, this semester, we have a few new points to note, especially the first-year freshmen..."
"Students are prohibited from sneaking into the Forbidden Forest... If you don't want to die in too much pain and misery, please don't go to the fourth floor..."
"Finally welcome everyone to Hogwarts, and I will say a few last words, that is: Idiot! Crying nose! Residue! Twist!"
After speaking, he bowed slightly and waved his hand.
The banquet officially started. On the long table that was originally empty, various "delicious dishes" featuring England appeared out of thin air.
The little wizards who had been hungry for a whole day scrambled to be cooks, eating chicken legs with one hand and steak with the other.
The Slytherins are relatively more refined, and the first and second-year wizards near Shaw actually admire him, and they all try to make friends with Shaw.
Draco beside him used a knife and fork to divide a piece of steak into his mouth, and suddenly found that Xiao Er's tableware seemed to be different from his own. Why are they a pair of small sticks?
No, even the dishes are different, such as golden meat dumplings, a plate of grilled fish sprinkled with many unknown seasonings, and even the staple food is a bowl of milky white rice.
"Shor, what are you eating? Why is it different from ours?"
Xiao Er took a sip of tomato and egg soup, and then said nothing.
"Oh, I'm not used to British food, so I specially asked my house elf to cook Chinese food."
Draco leaned over and sniffed it, only to find the scent tangy, he swallowed.
"Then can I have a taste?"
Xiao Er looked at seven or eight Chinese dishes, and felt that he couldn't finish them all by himself, so he nodded his approval.
"Eat."
Draco excitedly used a knife and fork to put a piece of braised pork into his mouth, and after chewing a few times, his eyes couldn't help but shine.
Shaw looked at Draco and wanted to fork vegetables with a knife and fork full of saliva, it was disgusting.
He hurriedly found a big plate and filled each dish, and let Draco eat by himself.
Draco didn't think too much about it, his fork was like flying, although he was blushing from several spicy dishes, he still kept eating these dishes he had never eaten before, Goyle and Crabbe wanted to try them all but were rejected He turned away.
At this moment, he only felt that the various expensive dishes he had eaten in the past were simply shit. No wonder Xiao Er said that he was not used to eating them, and he would also feel that he would not be used to them in the future.
At this time, Alice came over.
"Shor, can I sit here? What are you eating?"
Chapter 20
Looking at the beautiful Alice, Xiaoer thought of the old Foley who spoke for him in the principal's room before, with the same elegance, which can be said to be in the same line.
He kicked Draco, who was eating hard, with his foot under the table, and Draco raised his head blankly.
"What's the matter, Shaw?"
"You go and eat while I talk to my sister about something."
Draco looked left and right at Shaw and Alice, showing an expression that I understood, then moved his buttocks to Goyle's side, not forgetting to take his big dinner plate away with him.
After sitting down gracefully, Alice glanced at the exotic delicacies on the table. Although the smell was tangy, she didn't pay attention. She is a person who can restrain her desires, and then she whispered about the business.
"Grandpa just told me through the two-way mirror what happened to those pure-blood families, do you want to know?"
Xiao Er also stopped eating, took the napkin and wiped his mouth before speaking.
"I don't want to know, it's nothing more than some sleazy dogs, not worth mentioning."
Although Alice felt that Xiao Er was talking big, she also felt that the other party was very confident, so she thought about it and said again.
"Well, the methods of the Pure-Blood Society are nothing more than those kinds of methods, such as threats, frame-ups, and suppression. As long as you stay at Hogwarts, you will be fine. Have you heard of the Pure-Blood Society?"
Shaw was stunned.
"Pureblood Society? An alliance of all pureblood families?"
Alice nodded and shook her head.
"In the past, it might have been an alliance of all pure-blood families. The main purpose was to continue the bloodline and control power. However, after the Dark Lord intended to control this organization, the pure-blood society split up. All the neutral and lawful pure-blood families withdrew. The current pure-blood family It will be controlled by those families with pure blood supremacy."
"They almost hold more than half of the power of the Ministry of Magic and half of the industry in the British wizarding world, so the power and influence are very large. This is the main reason why so many Death Eaters were able to escape legal sanctions back then."
Xiao Er was surprised, but felt it was reasonable.
"Oh, and then what?"
Alice looked angrily at Xiao Er who was still indifferent, and didn't know whether the other party was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.
"It means that with your current strength, it is not enough to take the initiative to find trouble with those families. Grandfather told me to tell you that temporary grievances are nothing, and the most important thing is to improve your strength. Grandfather will help you mediate and let They don't..."
Shaw waved his hand and smiled.
"Thank you grandfather, but I have my own plans."
Alice clenched her fists, really wanting to punch the arrogant Xiao Er, feeling like she did something wrong before, why did she place a bet so quickly?
It was quite interesting for Shaw to see Alice unable to maintain her elegance.
"Do you think I'm arrogant and conceited?"
"What do you say?"
"Then you guessed right, there is no problem with IQ."
"you!"
Seeing that the teasing was about the same, Xiao Er stretched out his hand to signal Alice to be calm.
"I'm crazy for my reasons. Let me tell you a little secret. I've only learned magic for a month."
Alice was really shocked when she heard this.
If Shaw really only learned magic for a month, he would already be better than the average adult wizard, and comparable to the average Auror.
How good would it be if he was allowed to study steadily for two or three years?
To put it bluntly in the magic world, after all, strength is the most important thing.
Before, Alice decided to place a bet because she was interested in Shaw's magical talent, but her most expectation was to invest in a wizard with the potential of a legendary mage in advance.
But at that time, I just thought that Xiao Er had potential, but how could it be so easy to become a legendary mage.
For a hundred years, there have only been three, two Dark Lords and one White Lord.
But now Alice thinks that Shaw's talent can be described as outdated, stronger than those of Voldemort and Dumbledore.
Then the family's investment in it will have to be strengthened infinitely, maybe the opportunity for the family to regain its glory is just around the corner.
Alice stood up in a panic and left in a hurry. She had to notify her grandfather immediately.
Draco moved back and asked curiously.
"Shor, what's wrong with Alice? Did you reject her confession?"
Shaw gagged Draco's mouth with a chicken leg.
"What do little brats know? Can't even delicious food stop your mouth?"
On the teacher's seat, Quirrell was eating dinner with his head down, but his eyes looked at Harry and Shaw from time to time.
