The welcoming party was held in the Hogwarts auditorium. As soon as Harry entered the auditorium, he parted ways with Snape. Snape walked towards the teachers' area while Harry went to look for people he knew. Before long, he bumped into Drac Malfoy and his friends.
Drac was holding a drink and talking to Bryce Zabini as if he was holding champagne instead of juice. Harry smiled and walked up to them to greet them.
Drac looked like she had a stomachache when she saw Harry, but she still nodded slightly in response. "Gryffindor is over there."
Harry looked in the direction that Drac was pointing at. Before he could say anything, the dark-skinned Zabini smiled and said, "Drac, Potter is not Gryffindor."
"Yeah." Harry went along with the conversation. "I'll go look for the sorting hat again tonight. I'll see which house it assigns me to."
Drac did not comment. She just said, "Your parents are both Gryffindor."
"Yeah, I like Gryffindor very much." Harry touched his nose. "Well then, I'll go take a look around. See you later, Drac."
Seeing Harry walk into the crowd, Drac had a strange look on her face as she drank her drink. Then, she shivered from the cold.
Harry greeted a few people he knew, such as Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Finally, he arrived at Gryffindor's place near the wall. As soon as he appeared, he was surrounded by Ron, Neville, and the others. They touched him all over and asked, "How was it? How did it feel to be grounded by Snape? "
Harry put down his bag and begged, "Nothing, nothing … I finished my homework!"
"Let me see!" Ron said subconsciously. Then, he smiled sheepishly. "Forget it, I'm not going to do my homework tonight. Today is the orientation party."
Yes! Today was the Welcoming Ceremony! As soon as Harry came in, he found that the teachers' seats had been moved to the left side. The house fairies had set up a medium-sized stage there. Dumbledore stood on the stage in a fancy wizard robe. He made a "sound like a bell" sign to himself and said calmly, "Everyone, please be quiet."
Dumbledore's voice echoed throughout the auditorium, and the students quickly quieted down.
Harry did not pay attention to Dumbledore's opening remarks at all. He just stared at the pudding sprinkled with syrup and the steaming hot potato soup in front of him. Ron could not help but advise him, "Why don't you eat a little?"
Harry wolfed down the food under the cover of Ron and the others. Someone asked curiously, "Didn't you have lunch?"
"Ugh …" Harry covered his mouth. When he heard about lunch, he thought of the cup of magic potion. When he thought of the magic potion, he thought of his "tattoo". When he thought of the tattoo, he remembered that there was something he needed to tell the Weisles twins.
"Ron, where are George and Fred?" Harry swallowed the bread in his mouth and asked.
"They're probably backstage now. They and Percy participated in the performance." Ron finally noticed the change in Harry. "Hey, where's the pattern on your face?"
"Professor Snape helped me get rid of it," Harry said casually.
The Gryffindor looked at each other and accepted their incompetence. "You mean, your confinement today was to finish your homework, and Snape helped you solve some small problems?"
Harry was stunned for a moment and added, "I also helped him peel a pot of toad skin and a pot of slugs …"
However, it seemed that the experienced Gryffindor still thought that Snape's kindness to Harry was above average. Therefore, the rumor that Snape was biased towards the Savior began to ferment.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was soon diverted to the stage. First, it was Professor Flitwick's choir. Harry noticed that most of the choir members were members of Ravenclaw. But it was not surprising, since Professor Flitwick was the dean of Ravenclaw. Harry did not have a strong appreciation for choir. He watched the performance while eating.
After the opening of the choir, it was the speeches of the representatives of the various academies. To Harry's surprise, the representative of Gryffindor was Percy Weisles. Harry's impression of Percy had always been that he was a tall, thin, rigid senior without a sense of humor.
Ron also seemed a little surprised. "It's Percy?" Seeing Harry looking at him, Ron wrinkled his nose and added, "Uh, I don't have a problem with Percy, but … if Percy is chosen to speak, he will definitely publicize it to the whole magic world."
"It was supposed to be Boone Chris (Original, set as the sixth-grade leader of Gryffindor)," said someone in the know. "But he ate something bad yesterday and can't speak at all today." The insider paused for a moment. "Some fifth-grade students are guessing that Percy drugged Boone."
Some people around laughed in agreement. Harry looked at Ron with a potato chip in his mouth and found that he also laughed in agreement. Harry then reached out and took a small pudding.
A freshman was asking what the class leader system was. Harry turned his head and saw Hermione Granger explaining, "In the fifth grade, one male and one female class leader will be selected, and they will continue to hold the position in the sixth and seventh grades. But the president of the student union does not have to be selected from these class leaders. "
"Oh …" The freshman who asked the question laughed. "Granger definitely wants to be the female class leader?"
The question was not very friendly, so Hermione just said with a straight face, "If, if the college appoints me, it's a kind of affirmation for me."
Harry smiled. He thought of his red-haired mother, who had been the female class leader for three years and even became the president.
After the four academies spoke, Marvel and DC each sent out a representative to speak, but it wasn't their two captains. On the Marvel side, it was the "Laser Eye" Scott Summers, who always wore red quartz glasses. On the DC side, it was the dark-skinned Young Hero Hai.
Obviously, the students who were eating snacks below were not interested in these official speeches at all. They all applauded reservedly and used their eyes to encourage the speakers to finish their tasks quickly, because what came next was the highlight of the welcome party: the welcoming performance of the three colleges!
Ron passed the news he got from his brothers to Harry. "In the past, the four colleges would each perform a show to welcome the new students. This year, in order to cooperate with the other two colleges, the Hogwarts simply organized a joint show between the four colleges. I heard that it was arranged by Professor Kamia."
That was most likely a play. Harry had the impression that Professor Kamia was very obsessed with her own troupe.
"What kind of shows did each college come up with in the past?" Harry was quite curious. The freshmen also gathered around.
A senior introduced with a strange expression, "Gryffindor usually performs a little comedy, Slytherin likes to play with musical instruments, Ravenclaw is mostly a chorus, and Hufflepuff's style is not very fixed. Sometimes it's a puppet show, sometimes it's an acrobatic show …"
On the stage, the president of the Female Student Union was introducing with great emotion, "Next, let us enjoy the stage play brought by Marvel College — The New Romeo and Juliet!"
Everyone knew about Romeo and Juliet, but what was The New Romeo and Juliet? Was it the same as The New Legend of White Snake? Or was it a stage play?
The Hogwarts students, who were curious about American culture, looked expectantly at the stage where the lights were gradually dimming. Harry stuffed a mint into his mouth and looked curiously.
The opening seemed to be a dance party. After the stage lights came down, several couples danced to the melodious sound of violins. Although the actors had more or less put on some makeup, their characteristics were still obvious: the one with wings was "Angel" Warren, the one with a tail was "Night Walker" Côte, the one with glasses was "Laser Eyes" Scott, and the only girl was "Phoenix" Jean. Colo and Peter were more difficult to recognize. After looking for a while, Harry found that the smallest one was Colo, and the one with Colo must be Peter!
After the accompaniment changed to a new style, the couples dispersed and regrouped. Harry then remembered: who was the accompaniment? Looking at the edge of the stage, it turned out to be Professor X, who was smiling, and sitting next to him was a sullen Magneto.
"Ah, who is Romeo and who is Juliet?" Someone saw the question.
At first, everyone thought that the main characters were Scott and Jean, but they saw that everyone left the stage while dancing, and only Warren was left on the stage.
Along with everyone's questions, Warren flapped its wings and some white feathers fell down. It was quite a lively scene.
The background music turned sad, and Warren's wings drooped, as if he was infinitely sad. He said in a lonely voice, "Ah, that boy just now, he must be interested in me …"
Pfft! Harry spat out a mouthful of drink on the table.
The other people's reactions were not much better. Everyone endured the WTF feeling and listened to Warren repeatedly talk about Romeo's admiration for him. He even sang, "Ah, Romeo, why are you Romeo? Why do you, a pure demon, bow down to my leather pants? "
Now everyone had one thought: Who the f * ck is his Romeo?
It was Côte. The blue-skinned Night Walker brought Rose onto the stage. After smiling shyly at everyone, he directly knelt on one knee. "Juliet, my Juliet, my angel, my poison, my desire, my sin, my soul … How can I not love you — even if you lead me into the abyss of despair?"
Isn't this plagiarism too obvious??? Harry didn't dare to eat anymore — he almost choked on a candy.
The love between Night Walker and the angel was quickly suppressed. Before Night Walker could kiss the "evil angel", the evil forces represented by the new star and Quicksilver appeared, pulling Night Walker and the angel to the sides.
The new star of the Montague family advised earnestly: Romeo, that Juliet is obviously a seductive slut. Let's not play with him, okay?
The Capuletto family's Quicksilver said sternly: Juliet, if I see you hanging out with that circus boy again, you don't want to inherit my wealth?
The two bitter lovers knelt on the ground in despair.
The audience held their breaths, ready to see Juliet commit suicide.
"Why, why do we have to be obstructed by fate?" The angel got up in a low voice and reached out a hand to the side of the stage. But what came up was not a poison, but … a dagger?
"Romeo, if I can't fly to you, what's the point of my wings?" The background music and singing turned heavy. The angel closed her eyes and waved her dagger to cut off her wings …
"No!" Night Walker teleported to the angel's side and knocked the dagger out of her hand.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only to see the angel cry out sorrowfully, "But we can't be together!"
Night Walker hugged the angel and comforted her, "Yes, the family doesn't allow it, the social environment doesn't allow it, but we still have a way out!"
The angel sobbed with tears. "Then where can we go?"
Night Walker turned his head with a smile. "Are you still troubled by the pressure of the secular world? Are you still bound by public opinion? Xavier's Academy for Gifted Teenagers welcomes you. There is a beautiful teaching environment and excellent teaching quality here … "
