"Nelson Williams!" Dumbledore shouted from the stage.

Nelson was still entangled between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Under Dumbledore’s guidance, he stepped onto the stage, sat on the four-corner stool, and took the tattered sorting hat and placed it on his head. .

   "Pull—" He was about to speak, and as soon as he uttered the first syllable, he heard that the Sorting Hat had made its decision.

   "Slytherin!"

A round of applause erupted from the side table. It was the long table at Slytherin College. Around the table sat a group of students in wizard robes. The collar and cuffs of their wizard robes were dotted with green lace. Wearing a silver badge filled with green, the style of the badge is the same as the huge emblem floating above their heads—a green shield in the form of a snake is entrenched with its head and tail.

   Compared to the welcome of the other three academies, they seem to be more reserved and more tidy. Nelson looked a little dazed. He was walking towards the long table of Slytherin under his feet, but he was very confused in his heart. He always claimed to be a good person or a smart person, but he was assigned to such a man who had trained many notorious evil wizards. At the college, he couldn’t help but look back to see if the Sorting Cap was still there. He wanted to put on the Sorting Cap again and make his own choice... But when he looked back, he saw that Dumbledore had left with his hat and a four-corner stool. Banquet Hall-He is the last student in the branch.

Nelson turned his head to look at the long table in front of him. His old friend Tom stood up and applauded him, smiling, surrounded by a large group of new students. New friend Alphad had ran forward to hug Nelson, and his sister was standing. Behind Tom, staring fiercely at his brother's back. The senior students sitting on the table saw their last younger brother approaching the long table and stood up neatly and applauded. They all smiled. Some faces may not be handsome and beautiful, and some may not be sincere or even cunning. , But the welcome at this moment is sincere.

Nelson felt this friendship. He expelled the thoughts in his mind and ridiculed himself: "I still claim to be a morally successful person. Isn't the idea just now wearing colored glasses to look at others? What qualifications do I have to look down on? Where is Slytherin?" He smiled and hugged Alphad who was running, patted him on the back, walked towards Tom, and the two looked at each other and shook hands firmly.

   "Hello, Williams." A flat female voice came in.

Nelson looked in the direction of the voice. It was a black-haired girl with a ponytail. She looked sixteen or seventeen years old. Her skin was pale, her eye sockets were deep, her lips were thin and lack of blood, and she looked a little bit mean. Boys in Lettering.

   "Hello." He released the hand he held with Tom and greeted him friendly.

"I am the president of the female student union." She took a badge from the boy behind her, "My name is Miranda Gosak. This is your Slytherin badge, every Slytherin college Of students have to pin it to their chests when they wear school uniforms." She handed the badge to Nelson.

   Nelson took the badge and saw that Tom and the freshmen beside him each had the same badge on hand.

   "Thank you."

   "Oh, you're welcome." Miranda was turning around and preparing to leave, and when she heard this, she turned her head again, "I hope you have a good time in Slytherin."

   Then she turned around and went back to the top of the table, and sat down there. The chairs of the people on the left and right were far away from him.

"She has a weird temper and is not easy to get close to. Everyone is a little afraid of her." Nelson had just found an empty seat to sit down. Tom had taken it for him early in the morning. On the plate in front of him there was a pie that was surviving. , He seemed quite certain that his friend would come to an academy with him, Tom handed him a glass of corn juice, and Walburga next to him said gossiping, "But she is indeed very good, her grade is the first, she was still Prefect, maybe I will become Minister of Magic in the future."

   "What did she do? Why should you be afraid of her." Tom clinked glasses with Nelson with his pumpkin juice, and asked disdainfully.

   "It's not... I'm just afraid of her..." It seems that it's just because of a bad personality? Nelson looked at Miranda in the distance and thought. She seemed to have noticed that someone was looking at her. Miranda raised her head and looked in Nelson's direction. The two eyes met. Nelson raised her glasses in the distance. She was taken aback and continued to lower her head to eat. Something, Nelson noticed that she was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses so that her eyes didn't look so deep and her facial features softened.

"Squeak—" The door of the banquet hall opened. Dumbledore put down his sorting hat and walked back. He walked to the faculty’s table and sat on an empty seat. Nelson looked at him and found that he was talking to someone next to him. The hearty, handsome, slightly thankful man was saying something. The man was talking while looking at the Slytherin table. The two people's eyes met. He nodded at Nelson and then glanced at the table.

   "ding—" The old man in the middle of the dining table pulled the bell at hand, and the hall soon became quiet, and all the students were sitting tightly and looking at him.

   "Welcome you!" He stood up on the table, "New school year, welcome you to Hogwarts!"

Armando Dupete is the current headmaster of Hogwarts. He has short cut silver hair close to the scalp, his yellow skin is covered with age spots, and his hooked nose is high and strong, dark and black. The eyes were sharp under the bushy eyebrows.

"You have to admit that it is your luck to be able to come to Hogwarts to study!" Armando Dipeter glanced at the Hogwarts student with his eagle-like eyes, who seemed to be about to die. The old man showed a vigorous and vigorous spirit, which made it hard to look directly at him.

"You are in the safest place in the world, and you have the best teachers to teach you knowledge. You don't need to be born and die like Aurors. You don't have to fight with the most rampant black wizard boss now. You don't need to be poor in the corner of the magical world. Down, hungry... These are all brought to you by Hogwarts!"

He coughed twice and continued, "I don't expect you to give me, your teacher, or Hogwarts in return. I only ask you to calm down during the seven years you have studied at Hogwarts. Learn knowledge and grow up steadily in the ivory tower. When you can be alone, you can face the storm outside the school."

"At the moment—" he drew out a piece of paper and began to read school regulations and other matters. "In view of the special circumstances of the wizarding world, in order to prevent you from being harmed by dark magic, the opening of Hogsmeade in recent years will only be open to students above grade four. ; Students in the first and second grades are not allowed to approach the forbidden forest. If you violate the school rules, you will be responsible for the consequences; in addition, it is forbidden to use magic in the corridor..."

   The students were drowsy, but they didn't dare to move.

   "Nall, I've inquired that the person next to Dumbledore is our Dean Professor Slughorn, who teaches potions." Tom glanced at the headmaster, lowered his head and whispered to Nelson next to him.

   "Professor Slughorn? I thought he would be a fat man..."

   "Why? By the way, Dumbledore teaches Transfiguration. I thought he was very good. He was a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher..."

   "...In addition, the Quidditch arena will be open two weeks after the start of school. Teams who need to reserve the venue at that time should fill in the application form by the captain and submit it to the dean of each college for signature, and then give it to the male and female student presidents..."

   The principal's voice floated, and the students became restless.

   "Finally, I hope you must strictly abide by the school regulations. The list of items prohibited from being brought into the campus has been posted at the door of Mr. Ogg... If you violate the school regulations, you will be severely punished once discovered."

   Armando Dupete noticed that the thoughts of many students had drifted far away. He picked up the bell at hand and shook it again. The crisp bell rang back the souls of the students.

   "Then, let's start the dinner party." He finished reading the school rules and sat down with Dumbledore's support.

   The students in the auditorium cheered like mountains and tsunami.

   Nelson saw that the table in front of him suddenly became crowded, rich food appeared on the empty plates, and the people around him had started to gobble up. He chose for a long time, and took a plate of sausages and pies and put them in front of him.

   After a while, the principal seemed to be a little tired, and left the banquet hall on crutches. It was like pressing a switch, the hall suddenly became lively, the students exchanged eagerly, and the teachers were chatting with each other. Nelson noticed that there were a few sneaky silver-white figures passing through the corners of the hall. The wall came out and looked at the crowd.

"They are ghosts parasitic on the castle, a group of cowards." Seeing the curious eyes of Nelson and Tom, Walburga explained, "They are not allowed to touch the students. No, the **** one next to him was Our senior."

   Looking at everything strange in the magic school, Nelson and Tom were surprised, and Alphad had already begun to plan which school rule to violate tomorrow.

As the dinner came to an end, the long table was in a mess, Nelson had learned the whole picture of the castle from Walburga’s mouth, and Tom was surrounded by a group of freshmen and sophomores in the center, becoming the indisputable part of the banquet. focus.

   "Hey, can you hear me?" Dumbledore's loud voice came, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com "Presumably everyone is full, so now it's school song time."

   He took out his wand and lightly nodded on top of his head. A long golden ribbon floated out of the wand and rose into the starry sky above his head, forming one word after another.

   "Sing in your favorite tone! Don't worry about others." Dumbledore said, everyone stood up and looked at the lyrics above his head, Tom looked reluctant, and seemed to be ready to fish in troubled waters, "Get ready, sing!"

   "Gnar..."

   In the darkness, Tom suddenly called Nelson's name.

"what's happenin?"

They were lying in their dormitory. After the dinner, the prefects of their respective colleges took the freshmen to the lounge of their respective colleges. They walked to a stone wall on the side of the castle and walked into a long and low room. The basement of the Black Lake can be seen through the glass, and the prefect assigned them a dormitory. Nelson, Tom and the other three freshmen Alan Abbe, Dwight Parkinson, and George Caro were assigned to the same dormitory.

   "Nothing." Listening to the snoring of the other three roommates, Tom was silent for a while and replied.
