Luke walked towards the Slytherin table with a smile on his face.
Harry and Ron looked at Luke's whereabouts, feeling slightly complicated for a moment. Ron couldn't help but think of how his father, mother, and brothers had always talked about how despicable and cunning the Slytherins were in front of him since he was a child.
They always praise Gryffindor and even think that even the naughtiest little lion has its own merits.
Harry recalled the first time he and Malfoy met in Madam Malkin's shop. While Malfoy slandered Hagrid in front of Harry, he made no secret of his recognition and yearning for Slytherin. After adding that, when Hagrid chatted with him, it was also clearly stated that the people in Slytherin House were terrible.
This made him reject Slytherin House from the beginning, but now, his friend, a very good friend, was assigned to Slytherin House, which made him feel that he might need to get to know Slytherin again. That's good.
Hermione looked at Luke's back and pursed her lips. She had seen introductions about the academy from Luke and in those books before. Whether it was Luke's advice or the knowledge in those books, she was told that it was best not to choose Slytherin. This was not discrimination, but that Slytherin was really not suitable for a wizard like Hermione.
Luke sat next to the girl named Taylor and smiled politely at her, but the other girl still lowered her head and seemed not to pay attention to Luke.
Luke didn't pay attention, and frowned slightly, but he relaxed immediately. He knew that he was not Jin Gallon, and it was impossible for everyone to like him. So while interacting with the seniors who took the initiative to greet him, he waved towards Hermione who was looking at him over there.
Hermione noticed his gesture and pursed her lips tighter. But he nodded after all.
Soon Hermione was sitting on the stool, and the Sorting Hat was silent for a moment before finally shouting "Gryffindor".
Luke also applauded Hermione. He also recognized the fact that Hermione was a Gryffindor from the bottom of his heart. Although Hermione is very smart and loves to read, her strong mobility and her desire for adventure make her more suitable for Gryffindor.
Soon after Ron was assigned to Hermione, he was also sorted into Gryffindor. This was almost inevitable. After all, the children of the Weasley family seemed to have their own characteristics, but in fact, in their hearts, they The things we insist on are very similar.
Not long after, Malfoy sat on the stool, and the hat just touched his head, and he loudly shouted the result of his sorting.
"Slytherin!"
Warm applause erupted from the Slytherin table again, but compared to Luke's applause, it was obviously down a notch. This made Malfoy purse his lips subconsciously, and he looked at Luke over there with gloomy eyes. Luke smiled and nodded at him, looking very friendly.
Malfoy didn't say anything after all, and walked over to sit next to Crabbe and Goyle with a sullen expression. His ugly face did not make everyone care about him. On the contrary, several people who were planning to come up to talk to him frowned in unison after seeing his face, and then silently retracted their hands that were about to reach out.
Luke had no intention of talking to Malfoy. He frowned, feeling that it was a bit strange that the Sorting Hat said he looked like Gryffindor before. But I didn’t think too much because the sound of the system came to my ears.
[Ding dong! 】
[Side mission · 1: 'Sorting Ceremony' completed, obtained the magic spell·Illusionary Body Curse]
[Start the series of side missions "The Secret of Hogwarts"]
Luke carefully examined this series of side tasks. This is a mission set, and there are many missions in it, but most of them even have names like "???".
Only a few are lit up. In the summary of the lit parts, Luke saw the two tasks "Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets" and "Gryffindor's Legacy".
He had some idea about the task of "Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets", or was basically sure that he could complete it, but what was the "Legacy of Gryffindor"? Could it be that the giant octopus in the Black Lake is really Gryffindor?
Luke clicked on the detailed introduction of this mission with a bit of bad taste.
[Side mission·Gryffindor’s legacy]
[Introduction: The legendary four giants left something unique to themselves in Hogwarts. You already have certain qualifications/leads, please start your pursuit. 】
[Task reward: unknown]
[Tip: "Godric Gryffindor! Calm down! Don't make me angry anymore!" - by Salazar Slytherin]
Luke forcibly controlled his expression to prevent his doubts from showing on his face. The price is that his expression now looks a little stiff.
After that, his mood calmed down a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly.
"This kind of mission is really endless."
he muttered softly.
"Harry Potter!"
Harry walked to the stool amidst everyone's gazes and humming murmurs. At first, he envied Luke's attention-grabbing treatment, but when he was really called upon, he suddenly realized that he seemed to attract more attention than Luke.
He put on his hat amidst everyone's gaze and expectation.
"Difficult, very difficult. You can see that you have a lot of courage and a good heart. You have talent, oh my gosh, yes - you have a strong desire to prove yourself, so that's interesting... I should Where will you be assigned?"
The sound of the Sorting Hat rang in Harry's ears. Harry subconsciously wanted to reject Slytherin, but he seemed confused.
"I feel your confusion, child. Slytherin can wish you a great career and help you reach glory."
But at this moment, Malfoy's arrogant face, Hagrid's instructions, Ron's emotion, and many more all came to Harry's mind.
"No! Not to Slytherin!"
he shouted in his heart.
"Not going? Okay, then - Gryffindor!"
As the last word was spoken, the Gryffindor table erupted in cheers and applause. And such cheers also sounded throughout the auditorium.
Even the little snakes applauded Harry. This scene made Luke feel somewhat reassured. As long as the Snake Yard is not beyond hope, he feels that he can still transform everyone.
At the same time, Luke seemed to see Dumbledore sighing in relief.
But he clearly had no expression at all.
The last one, Blaise Sabine, was sorted into Slytherin, and Professor McGonagall left with her stool and hat.
Dumbledore then stood up and said with a smile: "Welcome! Welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start the new school year. Before the banquet begins, I want to say a few words. That is: Idiot! Crying nose! Residue! screw!"
"thank you all!"
