What exactly attracted Yeqi's attention?
After calming down, Noah subconsciously thought of Anapa's mask. Thestrals seemed to be related to "death", and the only thing he could think of was Anapa's mask.
Although the telescopic spell can open an expanded space, it cannot completely isolate the breath. There is a possibility that these Yeqi will notice it.
It's a pity that this mask is too resistant to magic power, so he couldn't research anything. Maybe he can study it in another direction?
…
Because the new students needed to take another route, the old students arrived at the auditorium first and sat down, preparing to watch the annual sorting ceremony.
To be honest, it's quite interesting to see how anxious the freshmen are.
Noah had just sat down, and when Warrington was about to sit down next to him, he found another person standing next to him. He subconsciously turned around and saw that it was Eve. Warrington immediately gave up his seat.
Noah glanced sideways at Eve who was sitting next to him, and saw the girl greeting him with a smile: "Long time no see, Noah."
Noah looked at her subconsciously: "Long time no see."
I always feel like something has changed about Eve? Not just about appearance, but also how you feel.
However, Noah did not randomly detect Eve's situation. If there were any changes, he would eventually find them.
However, Eve was dissatisfied with Noah's cold attitude. After sitting down, she pursed her lips and looked unhappy: "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Noah thought for a while: "So you are willing to pay attention to me now?"
Eve sighed faintly: "I can't be left too far behind, right?"
The implication is that I spent the last semester trying to figure out how to study.
"My godfather is back, and he has been urging me to learn magic since then." She glanced at Noah resentfully, "It's not easy to catch up with you."
Noah: "..." He said it as if it was his fault.
But he couldn't help but look at Eve again, so was he "catching up"?
Eve was about to say something when she heard the door open. Professor McGonagall had already entered with the new students.
The auditorium suddenly became quiet, and the sorting ceremony for freshmen finally began. After the routine speeches, freshmen were called up to the stage one by one and put on their sorting hats, and each college recruited their own freshmen.
And as the familiar name Hermione Granger was called out by Professor McGonagall, Noah suddenly felt a sudden feeling when he looked up.
There was a moment of unreality, and the realization that something long awaited had finally arrived.
It was probably at this moment that he really had a real sense that the "plot" had begun.
Next are Neville Longbottom who was sorted into Gryffindor, Draco Malfoy who was sorted into Slytherin, and...
"Harry Potter!"
As the name was spoken, a brief silence fell in the restaurant, followed by a sudden burst of humming murmurs.
"Is he Harry Potter?" Noah heard Eve whispering beside him, and there seemed to be something else in her tone.
Because it was too noisy, Noah couldn't hear clearly, so he subconsciously turned to look at Eve: "Huh?"
Eve's eyes were fixed on the boy who walked on stage with a rather complicated expression. Noah failed to analyze what she meant and could only look away thoughtfully.
Others were also discussing in low voices whether this was the legendary "Harry Potter". The boy who looked at the center of the focus had curiosity and expectation in his eyes.
After Harry put on the sorting hat, the auditorium returned to silence, and everyone was waiting for which house he would be sorted into.
Finally, after waiting for a minute, the Sorting Hat shouted: "Gryffindor!"
The first one to cheer was Gryffindor. Some of the Slytherins had bad expressions, but all of the Gryffindors turned red with excitement, as if it was Christmas, especially the new one. Prefect, he stood up and held Harry's hand. The Weasley twins shouted loudly: "We have Potter!" Such strange words.
These cheers did not last long under Professor McGonagall's stern glare, but the Gryffindors could not wipe away the joy on their faces even as they sat down.
The sorting ceremony was still going on, but the few students who followed were obviously not paying much attention.
When the dinner was over, Noah and others returned to the common room. As soon as Noah arrived in the lounge, he was stopped by someone.
The person who stopped him was Anna. This sixth-grade senior glanced meaningfully at Eve next to Noah, and waved to Noah: "Professor Snape is looking for you."
Noah paused slightly, and after thanking him, he could only temporarily separate from the others and go to Professor Snape's office.
Professor Snape only asked him to ask him about course selection. He asked him to collect their course selection wishes from his classmates tonight, and then handed them to him personally. By the way, he also asked Noah about his course selection wishes.
After Noah signed up for his course selection, Professor Snape nodded and waved his hand to indicate that he could leave.
When Noah returned to rest, he saw that the lounge seemed a bit busy today.
There was a group of people gathered together, and through the crowd one could vaguely see the platinum hair color inside.
Noah: "?" What are these people doing around here?
"Young Master of the Malfoy family." Eve appeared beside him at some point and glanced at the crowd with disinterest, "What does the professor want from you?"
"Just let me collect your selection list," Noah also withdrew his gaze and shook the parchment in his hand, "Have you chosen your electives?"
Eve nodded reservedly: "Of course. I will help you get all our roommates' belongings later."
Noah nodded, and suddenly noticed a familiar figure in the crowd from the corner of his eye.
What was Warrington doing in the crowd?
It happened that Warrington also noticed Noah, and immediately broke away from the crowd and ran to Noah: "Noah, you are back. The young master of the Malfoy family is as high-profile as the legend says, and you missed the best part. "
Noah wasn't interested in what he called the highlight, but he could roughly guess what was going on.
Although they are both "nobles", compared to other aristocratic families, the Malfoy family has a tendency to become a dominant family, because since Voldemort, other pure-blood families have basically gradually declined, and there are even a few families outside the country that have become the dominant family. Without blood, only Malfoy still retains his due status. Of course, this is inseparable from the current Malfoy family head's side and his huge financial resources, but it is enough to prove that the Malfoy family is also an extremely powerful family among the twenty-eight pure-blood families.
This was an unmissable target for the little snake in Slytherin, and the people surrounding him at the moment were all young wizards who wanted to have a good relationship with the sole heir of the Malfoy family.
