"...Ravenclaw!"
As the Sorting Hat fell, warm applause erupted from the Ravenclaw table.
The new student assigned to Ravenclaw blushed and looked very excited.
Standing on the edge of the teacher's chair, Rossi followed the crowd in applauding softly while looking around the desks of the deans of the four universities with keen eyes.
"Where should I sit for a while? Join Harry and the others when they come back? Or just find an empty seat?"
While she was muttering secretly in her heart, Dumbledore held down Flitwick's movement to put away the Sorting Hat, cleared his throat and said:
"While welcoming the new students, I would like to add that this year, our school will welcome an outstanding student from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She will study at Hogwarts for a year."
At this point, Dumbledore turned his attention to Rosie, "Of course, everyone except the first-year students should know her. Then, welcome Miss Rosie!"
Thunderous applause erupted in the auditorium once again.
Although he had the experience of speaking in front of tens of thousands of people, Rossi still felt a little excited when he heard the warm applause of the students.
Suppressing his inner emotions, he bowed to the teacher's chair and the students in a generous manner.
After Rossi stood up straight, Dumbledore stretched out his hands and pressed down to signal the students to be quiet.
"Although Miss Rosie is only an exchange student, according to our Hogwarts tradition, sorting must also be carried out. Come on, Rosie, after watching it for so long, I think you know what to do."
With that said, Dumbledore made a gesture of invitation.
ah? Do I also want to be sorted?
Rosie was suddenly dumbfounded.
Seeing the students becoming silent again, Rossi subconsciously cast his eyes on the teacher's desk.
Snape, who had a gloomy face, was staring at her closely, with a hint of sarcasm in his black eyes.
Seeing this, Rossi suddenly felt that his limbs became stiff.
This is too retributive for this world! I'm going to cry. Why did I provoke him before...
Until he mechanically walked to the center in front of the teacher's desk, until he picked up the crumpled sorting hat, Rossi had only one thought in his mind.
Please, please don't sort me into Slytherin!
"Oh? You have many Slytherin qualities. If you join Slytherin, you will definitely get unprecedented gains!"
The Sorting Hat's voice echoed in Rosie's mind.
No, no, no, I don't want to be lectured by Professor Snape all day long, that would be too painful. Mr. Sorting Hat, please take another look. I should also meet the selection criteria of other colleges, right? Like... Ravenclaw?
"Well...if you put it that way, you do have the characteristics of another academy..."
Having said this, the Sorting Hat opened his mouth and announced loudly:
"Gryffindor!"
ha? ? ? Gryffindor? Are you mistaken? How could I be Gryffindor?
"There is no doubt that you will become a qualified Gryffindor!"
I don't want to be reckless at all.
Muttering silently, and listening to the warm applause from the Gryffindor table, Rossi, knowing that the matter was irreversible, had no choice but to take off the Sorting Hat, put it down with a smile, and then looked at Dumbledore.
The reason why she didn't go directly to the Gryffindor table was because she didn't know what year she would be placed in.
"In terms of age, seventh grade? Or sixth grade?"
While thinking wildly, Rossi saw Dumbledore tilting his head in a certain direction.
Looking in that direction, I saw Mag, who had returned to the auditorium at some point, waving to her, and then pointed to an empty seat in front of him, gesturing for her to sit there.
"According to Beauxbatons' academic system, you need to study in the sixth grade at Hogwarts."
Seeing Rossi approaching, McGonagall explained in a low voice, "Don't worry about the study supplies. I will have the house elf deliver them to your dormitory later."
After that, she said to a Gryffindor girl: "Claire, after the dinner, you take Rosie to the dormitory."
…
After arranging Rosie, Mag hurried back to the teacher's desk and sat down.
At this time, Dumbledore, who had already introduced Lupine, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, turned his attention to the hybrid giant on the teacher's bench:
"One more thing. Starting from this school year, Hagrid will be the teacher teaching the Care of Magical Creatures class."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rossi heard heavy applause not far away on the left, followed closely by applause from the entire auditorium.
Rossi clapped along and stuck his head out to look to the left.
As expected, the ones who applauded the loudest and finally stopped were Harry and the three of them.
"Hello Rosie, my name is Claire Whyman, nice to meet you!"
After the applause stopped, the fair-skinned short-haired girl next to her extended her right hand to Rosie, "I've heard Harry and the others talk about you before. We will be classmates in the next year, so please take care of me."
"I should be the one to say this."
Rosie smiled and took the right hand handed over by Claire, "Claire, nice to meet you, and... let's take care of each other!"
While the two were talking in low voices, Dumbledore cleared his throat and said, "There are so many things to talk about. Now, let's start the dinner!"
As his voice fell, a variety of food and drinks instantly appeared on the plates and goblets on the long table.
…
As soon as Dumbledore announced the end of the dinner and left, Rossi saw Hagrid leaving the teacher's chair and walking quickly towards this side.
"Miss Rossi, thank you, thank you!"
Hagrid looked very excited, "Without you, I would have been imprisoned in Azkaban. Thank you so much!"
Having said this, he took out a book with a green cover and handed it to Rosie: "I'm a little bit... I don't know how to express my gratitude. I give this book to you. I hope you like it."
The monster book of monsters: a living textbook. It has extremely fast movement speed and weak attack ability. Under certain circumstances, it may be used as a weapon?
"Hagrid, the textbook after sixth grade can only be Mr. Scamander's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", right? Will Rosie be able to use this monster book? And she may not take this course as an elective. !" Claire next to Rossi asked in surprise.
"Well...it's always good to gain more knowledge. Besides, it can be used as a bedtime reading."
Bedtime reading? He is truly a hybrid giant! You can actually use this kind of book to read before going to bed. It moves very fast and you don’t have to worry about losing sleep while chasing books...
Rosie murmured something funny. She didn't want to shirk too much on this matter. She stood up, took the monster book and put it away: "Thank you for the gift, Hagrid. This year's Care of Magical Creatures class, and... Please give me some advice."
Hearing her words, Hagrid became even more excited: "You mean, you plan to take my Care of Magical Creatures class?"
