Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Page 420

The faces of the first-year students were pale under the candlelight, and a little boy in the middle of the line seemed to be trembling.

The freshmen were anxious, waiting for the Sorting Hat to decide their whereabouts, and even decide their future fate.

Aiwen has always thought that the characteristics of the four Hogwarts colleges are too distinct. When the freshmen first entered school, they were divided into four different groups, and they kept telling the stories of the four founders and the qualities they liked. Listen to them.

The courage of Gryffindors, the ingenuity of Ravenclaws, the love and loyalty of Hufflepuffs, and the strength and power of Slytherins.

These qualities subconsciously influence the students of the four colleges and leave a deep imprint on them.

Clearly, the Hogwarts sorting system has a considerable impact on students.

Even though thousands of years have passed, everyone still inherits the will of the four founders, but is it really good to do so?

The sorting ceremony has always been a highlight of the opening ceremony of the new semester. The teachers and students of the whole school waited with bated breath.

In the blink of an eye, the slit by the brim of the hat opened like a mouth, and the Sorting Hat sang loudly: I was a new hat long ago, before Hogwarts was built, and the four founders of Noble House , thinking they would never part ways.

They are united by the same goal, and their wishes are so consistent: to build the best magic school in the world, and let their knowledge be passed on and continued.

"We will build a school together and teach together!" The four friends were very determined, but they never dreamed that one day they would be separated from each other.

What friends in this world can be better than Slytherin and Gryffindor?

Unless you count another pair of best friends, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw.

How can such a good thing go wrong?How could such a friendship be written off?

Alas, I have witnessed this sad story firsthand, so I can recount it here.

Slytherin said, "The students we teach must be of the purest blood."

Ravenclaw said, "The pupils we teach must be intellectually superior."

Gryffindor said, "The students we teach. Must be heroic and fearless."

Hufflepuff said, "I'm going to teach a lot of people and treat them all the same."

The first time these differences came to light, a small quarrel arose.

Each of the four founders owns an academy and only recruits the teenagers they want.

The wizards recruited by Slytherin were just like himself, pure blood and scheming.

Only the sharpest minds of the younger generation can listen to the teachings of Ravenclaw.

Anyone who is daring and adventurous is accepted into the academy by the brave Gryffindor.

The rest were accepted by the kind Hufflepuff, who imparted all her skills to them without reservation.

In this way, the four colleges and their founders maintain a strong and sincere friendship.

During those many happy years, teaching at Hogwarts was pleasant and harmonious.

But then slowly a division emerges, exacerbated by our flaws and fears.

The four colleges are like four stone pillars, which once firmly supported our school.

Now they turn against each other, disputes continue, and each wants to monopolize the power.

There was a time when the school looked like it was dying.

Countless quarrels, countless fights, former good friends turned against each other.

Finally, one morning, the aged Slytherin suddenly ran away.

Although the strife had been settled by then, he left us discouraged.

There are only three of the four founders left. From then on, the situation of the four colleges is no longer as harmonious and united as imagined in the past.

Now that the Sorting Hat is in front of you, you all know why it happened: I sorted you into each house because my duties cannot be changed.But this year I'm going to say a few more days, please listen carefully to my new song, and though I'm destined to divide you, I'm afraid it's not the right thing to do.

Although I have to do my duty to divide the new year into four, I fear that such a division will lead to the collapse I fear.

Oh, know the danger, read the omens, the lessons of history warn us, our Hogwarts is in danger, and enemies outside the school are watching.

We must be united within, otherwise everything will fall apart from within.

I've told you straight, I've sounded the alarm for you, now let's start the sorting...

Chapter 920 Questions and Rebirth of History

After the hat finished speaking, it remained still again, and there was applause from all around, but it was mixed with whispers.

The students were all whispering to the people sitting beside them, and the whole auditorium was buzzing, and Ivan knew exactly what they were talking about.

What he didn't expect was that the Sorting Hat was actually the same as he thought, or that the four founders themselves had this kind of worry.

Is it really right to artificially classify new students and affect their fate in the future?

Aiwen thinks that he can use this question to ask the four founders himself. It’s hard for others to say, but if he can get the time converter mentioned by Titan, he will definitely go back to Rowena before the millennium?Ms. Ravenclaw met again, and he still had to get the key to the secret treasure from her.

In addition, Aiwen is also more concerned about the final progress of her and Gryffindor. Will the relationship between the siblings finally come to fruition?

Judging from the current situation, Gryffindor has no descendants, and Ravenclaw has only one daughter, Helena Ravenclaw.

Helena takes her mother's surname, and no one knows who her father is.

Anyone is possible, although Gryffindor is very likely, this does not need to be concealed, and Ravenclaw's surname should not be used.

The Gryffindor family is a well-known pure-blood wizard family, even if it is not as prominent as the Ravenclaw family, it is almost the same.

This matter is full of doubts, Ivan even wondered if Ravenclaw gave birth to a child with another wizard, and then the other party suddenly disappeared, or died because of something, and the identity of this person is particularly sensitive , it is not convenient to announce it.

Gryffindor had to silently guard the mother and daughter by himself, and never got married for life...

Although in terms of Ravenclaw's own status and strength, this possibility is very slim, but it is hard to say.

Ai Wen felt that he should write this story down. As a novel, it would definitely be popular.

Next to him, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were discussing the Sorting Hat's warning.

"I've never seen that hat like that?" said Harry, feeling the difference.

"It's a bit off topic this year, isn't it?" said Ron, raising his eyebrows.

"Indeed it is!"

Usually the Sorting Hat only describes the different qualities that Hogwarts' four houses value and its own task of sorting students, one can't remember when it tried to advise the school, it never happened.

"I don't know if it has issued a warning before?" Hermione said, her voice slightly disturbed.

"Yes, yes!" Nearly Headless Nick said knowingly, poking his head towards Hermione through Neville, "The Sorting Hat feels it has a moral duty to warn the school properly, it is The Overseer of Hogwarts, to some extent, represents the four founders. If it feels necessary, it will issue a warning to the school and remind everyone to pay attention."

"Oh, did such a thing really happen in history?" Hermione asked with interest.

"Yes, although there are not many times, every time the Sorting Hat issued an early warning, the school encountered a major incident. I remember there was one time eight centuries ago. At that time, not long after I came to Hogwarts, the entire school are going to close down..."

"Quiet!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Professor McGonagall.

She was waiting for the list of first-year freshmen to be reported, and now she glared at those whispering classmates with very stern eyes.

Nearly Headless Nick hastily pressed a transparent finger to his lips and sat upright, prim and proper.

The hum of discussion in the auditorium stopped abruptly, and everyone turned to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall frowned and glanced at the four tables again, then looked down at the long piece of parchment in his hand, and called out the first name.

"Euan Abercrombie."

This is a little boy with two surprisingly big ears, the most nervous one in the crowd just now.

With a panicked look on his face, he stumbled forward and put the hat on his head.

It was only thanks to his prodigiously large ears that the cap didn't slip off his shoulders.

The Sorting Hat considered for a moment, then the slit at the brim opened again, announcing, "Gryffindor!"

The Gryffindor classmates applauded enthusiastically, and when Fred and George stood up to welcome them warmly, Euan staggered to their table and sat down, judging from his expression, he seemed to be eager to get on the ground There was a hole for him to slip in, and no one was looking at him anymore.

"Ron, as prefects, we should let the new students sit next to us so that we can guide them." Hermione said hurriedly, only then did she remember this, she stared at the frightened children, " You too, Aiwen, the president of the student union must set an example."

Slowly, the long line of freshmen shortened a little.

At Hermione's insistence, Ivan and Ron had to let a few freshmen assigned to Gryffindor sit down.

Next to Alvin is a little girl named Kate. She has golden short hair and bright blue eyes. She is cute, but she is so shy that she blush when she speaks.

She never seemed to have thought that she would sit next to a big man like the president of the student union as soon as she entered school, and she was almost suffocated with excitement.

At the long table, other freshmen who had just been assigned to Gryffindor looked at Kate enviously.

The little girl was so nervous that she answered Ai Wen's questions honestly and cooperated very well...

Ivan knew from the conversation that Kate was also from a Muggle family.

She knew little about the entire magic world, and listened to Ivan's introduction to the school with an adoring expression.

In the middle of the auditorium, Professor McGonagall kept chanting the names of the students. There seemed to be more students this year than in previous years, and everyone was groaning with hunger.

In the end, Ross Zeller was sorted into Hufflepuff.

Professor McGonagall picked up his hat and stool and strode away when Professor Dumbledore stood up.

"Welcome our new students!" said Dumbledore loudly, with his arms outstretched and a big smile on his lips. "Welcome! Welcome our old students, and welcome back! There's plenty of time for speeches, but not now." , eat it to your heart's content!"

There was appreciative laughter and warm applause in the auditorium, and Dumbledore sat down upright.

He swung his long beard over his shoulders so they didn't get in the way of his plate.

Everyone looked at the table in anticipation, and delicious food suddenly fell from the sky. The five long tables were suddenly filled with large pieces of beef, pies, plates of vegetables, bread, jam and pots of pumpkin juice. There were groans.

Ivan heard Kate beside him exclaim in a low voice, looking at the food in disbelief.

"Master Ai Wen, how did these edible things come out?" She said in surprise, "Is it by magic?"

"Not entirely, the food still needs to be cooked by oneself. The house elves in the kitchen make them first, then put them on the corresponding long table downstairs, and use a magic like a transfer spell to send them up... ..." Ai Wen stopped suddenly after speaking halfway.

Seeing Kate's confused expression, he realized that he had to explain to her what a house-elf was.

Chapter 921 The performance of the prefect

Ivan gave Kate a brief introduction. He felt that the topic of house elves could be explained by Hermione. I believe she would be very willing to talk about what house elves are and how to deal with them. Treating them, and how to help the house-elves...

A picture of all the freshmen sitting together honestly and Hermione teaching them came to Ivan's mind.

Following this line of thought, continue to think about it.

He felt that it was necessary to gather all the freshmen and explain to them the rules of the school and the things they should pay attention to.

There is a saying that should be developed from scratch to help these children establish a correct outlook on life, values ​​and world outlook.

Hogwarts had no such tradition, but now that he was the head of the Student Council, he could try to make a difference.

While Aiwen was taking care of the cute elementary school girl, the side was still discussing the warning of the sorting hat.

"What do you want to say before sorting?" Hermione asked Nearly Headless Nick, took a sugar cake for herself, and took one for Ivan by the way, "It's about the warning about the hat? It happened 800 years ago whats the matter?"

"Oh, at that time, the relationship between the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest and us was not as good as it is now, and the overall strength was much stronger than it is now. They suddenly launched an attack on Hogwarts, and we finally had to break down the defense of the castle. The magic starts..."

"Well, after a while," said Ron.

His mouth was full, and it was remarkable to be able to make a sound.

"Excuse me, what did you say?" Nick drove him enviously, and Ron was almost wolfing down his baked potatoes now.

"He said we knew about it." While obtaining the key to the secret treasure of Gryffindor, Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione learned about it from the elders of the centaur tribe and the phantom magic left by Gryffindor. The ins and outs of the horse people incident.

Hogwarts was indeed dangerous at that time, facing an unprecedented crisis. Under the influence of the evil god, the crazy fallen horsemen killed almost all the creatures in the forest, collected their flesh and blood to worship the evil god, and summoned it to come to this world .

In the end, they even started attacking schools.

"Is there anything else in that hat to warn you of, besides this one?"

"Oh, there have been a few times. Once, a group of powerful dark wizards attacked Hogwarts..." Nick looked away from Ron, who had already started eating chicken legs and ribs, "Sorting The hat always warns when it feels that the school is in great danger. Of course, its advice is the same every time: unite and maintain internal stability."

As long as we are united, Hogwarts can overcome all dangers and difficulties.

"How can it be less dangerous to spend a month with the Tuoxiu?" Ron raised his head and asked again.

"Can you talk nicely!" Hermione said disapprovingly, looking at him in disgust.

"It's just a hat, how does it know the school is in danger?" said Ron, swallowing hard.

"I don't know," said Nearly Headless Nick. "Of course, it's been in the headmaster's office, so I dare say it heard something there. That hat has a mind, and if you like, it I could talk to you all day."
