After passing through a long and narrow corridor, a group of freshmen arrived at the auditorium of Hogwarts under Professor Mag's lead.
The candles floating in the air illuminated the dining hall. The glittering golden plates and goblets, the ghosts mixed among the students with hazy silver light, and the thousands of stars emitting mysterious light that slowly rotated in the darkness above the ceiling dome.
Everything was no different from a novel!
Jon looked at the teacher's seat on the high platform in the crowd. In the middle of the classroom was an old man with a white beard. He had an unclear look in his eyes, and his tall figure made him look especially intimidating sitting there.
The headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore.
However, if he didn't know this person's character, Jon wouldn't have been able to see his kind nature from his expression. It was also hard to imagine that this stern old man would be entangled with the famous Black Devil King, Gellar Grindelwald, for his entire life.
Then there was that tattered hat that was singing.
It was standing on a tall, round stool, tormenting the freshmen with its hoarse voice. The stains on the hat made Jon feel very uncomfortable.
Forget it. It will be over after a while.
Jon pinched his nose and took two steps back, almost knocking into the black-haired little girl beside him.
Eh? Why does this little girl look so familiar?
Before Jon could remember who this girl was, Professor Mag's voice sounded from the stage.
"Marietta Ekmore."
A little girl of medium height hurriedly walked out of the crowd and almost fell. She put on the hat amidst the laughter of the crowd.
"Ravenclaw!"
Cheers erupted from the second long table on the left. Marietta Ekmore ran over nervously and shook hands with the Ravenclaw students happily.
Is this the girl who betrayed Dumbledore's Army?
She probably didn't even know that she would have such a great "achievement" in the future.
Half of Jon's attention was on searching for familiar figures, leaving only one ear for names.
Katie Bell was assigned to Gryffindor. The twins from the Weasley family stood up to welcome her. Their red hair was too eye-catching, and the serious red-haired youth beside them should be Charlie Weasley.
He only saw a familiar face on Hufflepuff's side, Cedric Diggory. He did not seem to be uncomfortable sitting among Hufflepuff's students, completely different from when he was on the train. Béla was sitting in Ravenclaw's seat, smiling at Jon. She was probably trying to see if Jon would go to Gryffindor or Slythrin. Jon felt that he could not see any conflict between Ravenclaw and Slythrin.
While he was exchanging glances with Béla, Ravenclaw had gained another new student: Eddie Camiel — another familiar name.
Slythrin's side was very solemn. This group of students from noble families all sat up straight and abided by table etiquette.
So far, only three new students had joined Slythrin. This was not a good sign, as Gryffindor already had seven new students.
Just as he was about to watch a good show, Professor Mag called out his name.
"Jon Smith."
There was nothing special about this name. Smith was the most common surname in the British Isles, and Jon was also a very common name.
He did not have the feeling of being the center of attention like Harry Potter at all. This was great.
He walked up to the podium and allowed Professor Mag to put the sorting hat on his head.
"Wow, this is difficult. Very difficult!"
A sharp voice sounded beside Jon's ear.
"Very strong magic, very courageous, not bad at heart, and talented …"
"I want to go to Hufflepuff!"
Jon said in his heart.
"What? Are you sure? "
The sorting hat's sharp voice sounded a little incredulous.
"I want to go to Hufflepuff!"
"Without a doubt, you definitely meet all the requirements to become a student of Hufflepuff, but I don't think that's a very good choice …"
"I want to go to Hufflepuff!"
"Don't you have any other ideas?" The sorting hat was a little impatient. "Gryffindor and Slythrin can help you become a powerful Wizard …"
"Alright, cut the crap. I want to go to Hufflepuff. If you continue to talk nonsense, I will give you a bath!"
The sorting hat: "… Alright then, Hufflepuff!"
Jon took off his hat with a smile and returned it to Professor Mag. Then, he walked towards the long table of Hufflepuff who was cheering.
No one thought that this was a strange thing. Just like Jon's name, he should go to an ordinary school like Hufflepuff. The only one who was a little surprised was Béla.
However, Béla only sighed softly, and didn't say anything else.
Jon sat among the students of Hufflepuff and shook hands with a few students around him. Cedric was the only one who knew him, so he could talk to him for a while. As the good guy Cedric knew, every Hufflepuff was willing to talk to Jon for a while.
Even without Cedric, they were all like that.
Jon responded to everyone who greeted him with a smile. Other than that, he didn't say anything else. He pretended to be very hungry. Of course, everyone was hungry, so no one found it strange.
Another thing worth mentioning was that when Professor Mag called out the last name, Jon finally remembered who the girl he almost bumped into was.
Autumn Zhang, Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory's future girlfriend.
Hogwarts was really small.
The flame of wanting to break up a couple that had just been extinguished in Jon's heart was ignited again. He decided to get rid of the possibility of Béla and Cedric as soon as possible, and then make Cedric fall in love with Autumn Zhang as soon as possible.
He firmly believed that as long as this little butterfly of his worked hard, it shouldn't be a problem to prevent a few people from dying.
After Autumn Zhang was called out of Ravenclaw by the sorting hat, Professor Mag picked up the sorting hat and left. Albus Dumbledore stood up.
He looked at the students with a big smile and extended his arms to them. It seemed that nothing made him happier than seeing the students gathered together.
"Welcome!"
He said. "Welcome to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. That is: Idiot! Cry! Dregs! Screw! Thank you, everyone! "
After he finished speaking, the empty plates on the long table were suddenly filled with food, and the hall was instantly filled with laughter.
Perhaps this was a good start?
Jon cut a piece of pumpkin pie, put it in front of him, and began to enjoy the food.
The little elf of Hogwarts was very good at cooking. Harry Potter could have a pleasant learning career in the year before he started school.
That was great.
Jon smiled as he raised the watermelon juice beside him and clinked it with Cedric. "Happy new school year!"
