The freshmen were led by Professor McGonagall to the professors' stage and stood in a row facing the senior students.
The freshmen who were suddenly exposed to hundreds of pairs of eyes obviously felt a little uneasy. Some of the young wizards had already froze in place, not daring to move.
Noah quietly looked around the hall. He looked at the ceiling. The ceiling here used magic to create a starry sky-like scene. It looked like it was in the open air. However, it was raining outside at the moment, and the starry sky was obviously different from the outside. Too same.
Professor McGonagall used her wand to move a four-legged stool and placed a pointed wizard's hat on it.
This hat seemed to have an extremely ancient history. It looked very worn, even patched and dirty.
Under the gaze of everyone, the dirty hat suddenly twisted. A deep fold moved, looking like a mouth yawning. Two smaller folds appeared above this fold. There were some eye-like marks, and then it started to sing.
I have to say that the Sorting Hat's singing is indeed a bit... strange. Ignoring the somewhat unpleasant voice and weird accent, Noah listened carefully to its lyrics.
Those boasts aside, Noah made some key points.
First of all, the Sorting Hat seems to be able to probe the hearts of young wizards and assign them to which house they go to based on their qualities. Those who are brave and courageous will go to Gryffindor, those who are upright and loyal will belong to Hufflepuff, those who are wise and knowledgeable will go to Ravenclaw, and those who are ambitious will go to Slytherin.
Noah fell into deep thought and finally realized something he had ignored before. Even if the book in his spiritual world would not be noticed, what about himself? Will his knowledge of otherworldly magic be discovered?
Thinking of this, Noah's eyes gradually changed when he looked at the hat opposite.
He began to quickly open the books in his mind, trying to see if he could find the magic to seal the brain. As for being found unable to detect the brain, it didn't matter. Compared with this suspicion, the knowledge in his mind was more important.
Finally, he found something, but it was not magic, but a magical enchantment that came with this book of Wusan.
Knowledge is always precious. In order to prevent it from being discovered by people with ulterior motives, this book has a built-in barrier that can isolate others from detection. It can protect the entire spiritual world when driven specifically.
Noah breathed a sigh of relief. He was withdrawn from the spiritual world. Professor McGonagall had already begun to call names.
The little witch whose name was called walked to the stool, carefully picked up the sorting hat and put it on her head.
Almost as soon as he put on the Sorting Hat, he shouted: "Hufflepuff!"
The Hufflepuff students couldn't help but cheer. The little witch immediately put down the sorting hat happily and walked towards the Hufflepuff table.
Since there were not many freshmen, only twenty-seven, it was Noah's turn soon.
"Noe Lannister."
As McGonagall read out the name, Noah walked to the stool and lifted the hat.
Although he tried his best not to show it, he still couldn't help but feel a little disgust in his eyes. He remembered that this hat had a history of thousands of years, had it been washed? ! How many people have worn it? !
"I always feel like you're thinking of something rude." The Sorting Hat didn't care that Noah lifted him up with one hand. The folds on it moved, as if its eyes were sizing up Noah.
"Sorry." Noah apologized without sincerity, then sat on the stool, frowned and put the hat on his head.
"Wow," the Sorting Hat exclaimed, "Occlumency? It seems to be different. At your age, are you born with Occlumency? I think about how long it has been since I met someone with such a special talent. Little wizard, three hundred years? Four hundred years? This is not good, I can't look into your little head."
"Then just go to any academy." Noah replied softly.
"Oh~, just anyone, look at this tone, okay, okay, don't you have a favorite college?"
"No."
"Do you like Gryffindor? There will be a group of adventurous partners there; or Hufflepuff? They will be the best friends; Ravenclaw is also suitable for you, you must be talented in magic; but I think you are also suitable for Slytherin, where capable people can always do great things."
"Then it's all the same to me, isn't it?" Noah said subconsciously.
"Arrogant little guy." After all, it was a magic item that had been alive for who knows how long. The Sorting Hat easily judged the arrogance contained in Noah's tone. "With your tone, I think I know where you should go."
It brewed for a while and shouted: "Slytherin!"
Noah immediately stood up impatiently, put his hat on the stool, and walked towards the Slytherin table.
The senior students welcomed him into the hospital softly, far less warmly than in other hospitals.
Noah didn't care either. He found an empty seat and sat down, waiting for the others.
Finally, Pearly Adelaide entered Ravenclaw, Cedric Diggory joined Hufflepuff, the Weasley twins who had met once before entered Gryffindor, and Eve Was also sorted into Slytherin.
Eve happened to be the last one. She sat directly in the empty seat next to Noah. She smiled at Noah and was very satisfied that Noah was in the same college as her.
Noah nodded to her and raised his hand to push back Keya who was trying to emerge from his collar.
When all the freshmen were sorted into schools, Albus Dumbledore, who was sitting on the golden chair in the center of the professor's table, stood up.
This is the second time that Noah has seen him. The last time he saw this legendary figure was ten years ago, when he saved him from a circle of Death Eaters. In ten years, this old man with a white beard seems to have not changed at all.
He stood up, opened his arms, and smiled broadly: "Welcome! Welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before the banquet begins, I think I should say a few words, that is: Idiot! Cry! Nose! Residue! Twist!”
"thank you all!"
He said something whose specific meaning was unknown, but the students didn't care. They clapped and cheered, and their hands turned red with excitement.
Dumbledore sat down, and in the next moment, a variety of food began to appear on the long table, which looked extremely rich.
Noah also temporarily gave up thinking about what Dumbledore was talking about and started eating delicious food.
Of course, he would not forget a certain foodie snake. While others were feasting on the food on the table, he quietly picked some meat, cut it into small pieces, put it in the palm of his hand, and put his hand under the table.
Keya couldn't wait to stick his head out of his sleeves, pick up the piece of meat and swallow it.
It stands to reason that as a snake, it should be full for several days at a time, but Keya is always interested in human food, and Noah can only feed it a little at a time to give it a taste.
