Chapter 5: Chosen by Gryffindor?

Edward was shaken awake by Harry and Ron while Draco watched with his close friends.

"Edward. Edward. Edward!!!"

"Stop shaking, I'm awake, what happened?"

Edward had a killing headache. One moment, he was sitting on the stool and the next moment, he was surrounded by students.

"Make way, make way for the headmaster." Flinch cleared a path for the headmaster. The other professor's followed him.

"Son, are you all right?" Professor Flitwick asked with urgency.

"Other than a headache, I am fine professor. What happened?"

Dumbeldore came to Edward," Perhaps, young man, you should look beside you."

Edward looked to the side and saw a shinning sword with a golden handle and jewels adorning the hilt of the sword. Wait a minute, isn't it the Sword of Gryffindor? What is it doing here? Edward looked at Harry with a questioning face.

"That sword was the thing that knocked you out," said Harry.

"Yes, my boy, it looks like the sword of gryffindor chose you. Only a true Gryffindor could pull out that sword. So it is my decision GRYFFINDOR!!!"

The entire Gryffindor house cheered. The twins Fred and George even sang, We got Malfoy, We got Malfoy. Draco's face was livid with anger and the other pure blooded students were about to pull out their wands when they were silenced by their dean Professer Snape.

Edward was stunned. As a Malfoy, it was expected for him to go to Slytherin, but now, the sword of Gryffindor chose him. What about the freedom of choice?

Seeing Edward coming down, several senior students moved aside in Gryffindor's seat to make room. THis surprised Edward. He thought that he would have been alienated, but looks like being chosen by the Sword of Gryffindor had its impact.

　　 A pair of twin brothers with the same appearance and fiery red hair pressed Edward to the space in the middle, and one of them spoke with an exaggerated tone.

　　 "Gosh, You are definitely the first one to be a Gryffindor from the Malfoy family. This is really..."

　　 "What is it really?" Edward asked in confusion.

　　 "It's so brave!" The other of the twin brothers took the conversation.

　　 "You are destined to become a legend in the academy!" The two looked at each other and said in unison.

　　 Hearing the answers from the two, Edward almost didn't pick it up in one breath. The brain circuits of the two brothers were so strange that he couldn't understand it.

　　 "Well, thank you..." Edward politely thanked the twin brothers for their "blessing", and then asked.

　　 "My name is Edward Malfoy, how about you?"

　　 "I'm George Weasley, and that's Fred over there," one of the twin brothers spoke first, blinking at Edward. "You'd better remember, don't admit your mistakes next time you meet, Fred hates people calling him wrong..."

"Okay, George, I don't think I will admit that I am wrong." Edward is clear about the trick of the two brothers swapping identities, naturally he will not be fooled, and turned to the other of the twin brothers. .

　　 "Are you right, Fred?"

　　 Fred, who was thinking about playing with his brother as a newbie, was stunned, and George, who had spoken to Edward before, was also taken aback for a while before asking.

　　 "Wait, how do you know I am George's?"

　　 "This is easy to guess, isn't it? Who in the freshmen doesn't know that your Weasley brothers like pranks." Of course, Edward couldn't say that he saw it from a book, but could only make a temporary excuse to fool it.

　　 "Gosh, are we so famous already? Even the freshmen know it?" George and Fred said in surprise, feeling that so many years of fighting against the Hogwarts school rules finally came to fruition.

　　 "Puff~" Ron, who was feasting and eating, almost squirted out the food in his mouth. When did his two brothers become so famous among the freshmen at Hogwarts? Why doesn't he know?

　　The seniors were a little curious that Edward was chosen by the sword of Gryffindor..

"Edward, will your family be okay with this." asked Harry.

"Probably not, my mother would be a bit sad, but my father would be angry. He spent weeks developing my prestige among the pure blood families," answered Edward.

"I wouldn't be surprised. Your family is notorious for their alliance with black magic. No offense."

"Its fine Ron, In my opinion, black magic and white magic all depend on the user. You can kill a person by making them fall from a great height with a levitation charm, or cut your nails with a high dark magic Severing curse."

Hermione argued," But the book claims that black magic will infect the mind of the wizard."

Edward nodded and said," Thats why we have Occulemy."

Seeing that Edward refused to talk anymore, the conversation moved on.

Dumbledore stood up slowly at this time. The eyes of everyone also focused on the stage following Dumbledore's actions.

　　 "Ha, since we are all fed and drunk, let me say a few more words. I am going to post a few announcements of the school start now."

　　 Dumbledore's voice echoed in the hall, his eyes swept over the new students standing under the stage, and then he looked at the Weasely brothers.

　　 "New students should pay special attention: the woods on the playground are strictly prohibited for students to enter. I think this point should also be kept in mind by senior students."

　　 "Our administrator, Mr. Filch, wants me to remind you that you are not allowed to use magic in the hallway between classes."

　　 "The Quidditch player test will be conducted in the second week..."

　　 After briefly emphasizing the rules that exist in each semester, Dumbledore paused briefly and raised his tone again.

　　 "Finally, I must warn you that people who do not want to die tragically should not go to the third-floor corridor on the right within this year!"

　　 Edward couldn't help but complain about Dumbledore's fishing remarks after listening.

　　 Dumbeldore said how dangerous it was, but didn't reveal other news, or even why you couldn't go there, with a mysterious look. How could this make some little wizards who are full of curiosity bear it?

　　 Sure enough, Dumbledore's stern warning didn't seem to have had its due effect. A few freshmen even laughed indifferently, but the senior students showed serious expressions.

　　 Of course, this does not include the two Weasley brothers with serious faces. The two are discussing something secretly. Edward guessed that they might go to the corridor that could make people tragic to take a look.

　　 It's just that Edward felt that before that, Dumbledore would talk to them in person in advance, or let Administrator Filch focus on them, in case there were curious students.

After emphasizing the precautions for this semester, Dumbledore seemed to have become the kind of a little incongruous headmaster, wearing a slightly crooked wizard hat on his head, and said loudly.

　　 "Before going to bed, let us sing the school song together!"

　　As Dumbledore's voice fell, Edward clearly saw the faces of the professors on the stage changed, and several senior students were also constipated.

　　 And Dumbledore was waving his wand on his own, and a long golden ribbon floated out of the wand, turning into words like a snake.

　　 The wand is like a baton. Under the guidance of Dumbledore, the Hogwarts school song sung by the whole school resounded in the hall.

"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, please teach us, whether it is old or bald, or a young man with idiotic legs, our heads can be filled with novelty Something interesting..."

Various versions and various tunes were put together in a jumbled manner, and the Weasley brothers, who tried to mislead everyone in the mix, Edward also sang a few words along with them. After singing, I unexpectedly felt that this was mixed The tone.... It seems pretty good.

　　 Edward couldn't help but wondered if there was a problem with his music aesthetic...

Fortunately, there is also the principal Dumbledore who has the same feeling. The respected white wizard was moved to tears under the influence of music. It took a long time to break free from the melody. He wiped his tears while reminding all levels. Long can go back.

　　 Edward followed Gryffindor's freshman flow along the spiral staircase to the highest floor.

　　 At the end of the corridor, Percy stopped on a wall with a portrait of a fat woman. Before the new students could ask, everyone saw the fat woman move, changed her posture, and said solemnly.

　　 "What is the password?"

　　 "Dragon scum," Percy replied.

　　 The fat woman nodded, stepped aside, revealing a round hole in the wall, and Edward knew that this was Gryffindor's common room inside.

After entering, Edward realized that this place was much bigger than he thought.

The red lion flag representing Gryffindor is hung in the air. There are several long tables neatly placed in the wide lounge. Under the long tables are comfortable chairs. The dark brown fireplace is against the left wall. The burning flame illuminates the cold at the same time.

　　 Gryffindor's bedroom is for five people. There are five four-poster beds in the spacious room. Underneath are their respective luggage, neatly stacked aside. Harry, Ron, Edward, Neville, and some other students settled in. Looking out at the moon, Edward couldn't help but feel happy. Perhaps this was the feeling of Hogwarts.
