"Hannah Abbot !"Professor McGonagall called out the first name.

Sure enough, this is the iron-clad Hannah Abbot mentioned in various fan novels in previous life, Ryan complained in his heart. However, it should indeed be her turn first in the alphabetical order of the surname.

I saw a little girl with red cheeks and two golden braids staggering out of the queue and putting on the sorting hat.

If I remember correctly, at the end of the story, Hannah Abbott became the owner of the Leaky Cauldron Pub and married Neville Longbottom. 'Let's look at this little girl who is a little bit reckless. A kind of excitement of starting a great adventure from the bottom of her heart.'

Hannah sat down on the stool, not for long, the Sorting Hat prolonged the tone and shouted, "Hufflepuff - !"

The people at the table on the right applauded and cheered Hannah, and welcomed her to sit at their table. The ghost of the fat monk at the long table also waved to her happily.

"Susan Bones."

"Hufflepuff - !"Susan went next to Hannah to sit down near her quickly.

The sorting continued, and Ryan found that every time the hat spoke a name, its tone changed. It seems that the usual life of a hat should be very monotonous, it is really a poor hat. Before his name was recited, Ryan began to guess which house he would be assigned to.

Slytherin is definitely not possible because of the bloodline. As for Ravenclaw, Ryan, who is a scumbag, will probably be looked down on by those copy-paste machines. So the possible houses to be sorted in are Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.

The atmosphere of the two houses is pretty good, but after seeing Hermione being assigned to Gryffindor, Ryan's heart began to lean towards Gryffindor. After all, it is better to have a student acquaintance, than not knowing anyone.

Finally, when Neville Longbottom returned the hat to Professor McGonagall, Ryan's name was called by Professor McGonagall.

Since it is existing since 993 AD and no one probably washed the hat, it kinda stinked.

Communicating with the hat is a very novel thing, even if Ryan has experienced a rebirth, he has never encountered such a thing before.

After the hat was put on his head, Ryan heard a small voice saying: "Although I think your idea is a bit impolite, but thank you for your concern, the life of the old hat is not as boring as you think. I can feel your kindness and courage, then I have decided."

Before Ryan could react, the small voice turned into a loud shout: "Gryffindor."

Ryan took off his hat and put it respectfully on the stool, although the hat was dirty and torn, and it was full of patches. But it is more of a representative of Hogwarts, than this magnificent castle, because the wisdom of the great four is injected in it, it is more or less the spirit of the school.

After a slight bow to the professors, Ryan walked to Gryffindor's long table and sat next to Neville.

After a while, Harry Potter was assigned to Gryffindor as the original text, and everyone on the table stood up, cheered, and applauded.

When Professor McGonagall returned after taking away the sorting hat, Dumbledore stood up from the big golden chair in the middle of the teacher's seats. He looked at the students with a smile on his face and stretched out his arms to them. It seemed that nothing made him happier than seeing them all together.

"Welcome ah !"

He continued,

"Welcome to Hogwarts! Before the banquet, I would like to say a few words and that is Fools! Cry! Residual! Twist! Thank you! "

He sat down again. Everyone applauded again. Ryan looked at Hermione on the opposite side and asked: "What does the principal mean?"

Hermione replied in a little confused tone : "I haven't read anything about it in the book. This may be some special form of welcome in the magic world! right?"

Neville interrupted the two of them at this moment : "Don't think too much about that. Let's eat quickly. Don't you feel hungry ?"

Ryan saw that the empty tableware just now was filled with all kinds of food. According to his usual dinner habits, he took some boiled potatoes, pea sprouts, and tomato sauce with chicken and ate it. Even after living in the UK for ten years, Ryan is still not accustomed to eating a lot of meat at night. Fortunately, at home, the adoptive father is also of Chinese descent, and the family's food has some Chinese style.

When everyone had almost finished eating, the leftover food disappeared from the plates. The plates and forks automatically became as clean as new. After a while, the pudding came, with all kinds of ice cream.

With the help of sweets, everyone had a smooth conversation. Ryan and Hermione kept asking prefect Percy some academic questions. This lively atmosphere lasted until the sweets disappeared.

With the disappearance of the last dessert, all kinds of tableware disappeared, and the table became as clean as it could be.

The dining room returned to silence, and Professor Dumbledore stood up again : "I think everyone has had their fill. Then, I would like to give you a few things to note."

"First of all, please pay attention, first-year students! The woods on the campus are forbidden to enter. Some of our old class students need to remember this."

Dumbledore swept his shining gaze toward the Weasley twin brother.

"Secondly, the administrator, Mr. Filch, asked me to remind everyone not to use magic in the corridors between classes."

"The trials for selection of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of this semester. Anyone who is interested in joining the house team, please contact Madam Hooch."

"Finally, I must tell everyone that those who do not want to suffer from accidents and die in pain, please do not enter the corridor on the right on the third floor."

Hearing this sentence, a few freshmen laughed, but most of them kept quiet. Because most of the students knew that Dumbledore, as the principal, never lied about safety.

Ryan knew that this was where the Philosopher's Stone is and was the part of the plot, which is supposed to play out at the end of the semester. But this thing has nothing to do with him. After all, these things were prepared for Harry and Voldemort, and he, as an outsider, should try not to get involved.

Although the Philosopher's Stone is very precious, it will surely be a good thing to get it for the Myriad Realms General Store to meet customers in need. But after thinking about it for a while, Ryan gave up this bold idea, after all, he didn't want to be regarded as an enemy by the most powerful 'white' wizard.

Dumbledore paused, let everyone digest the news, and then said loudly:

"Well, everyone, before everyone goes to bed, let us sing the school song together !"

Almost all the teachers had a stiff expression. Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a long gold ribbon floated from the wand, twisting and winding lines of text like a snake over the high dining table.

"Everyone choose the tune you like."

Dumbledore said, "Get ready, sing !"

Ryan felt a little embarrassed, but still followed the tune in the movie highlights he had watched. Finished singing the whole song.

Then Dumbledore announced that it was time for bed and the Hogwarts opening ceremony was officially over.
