Chapter 0017 Ghost

_____________________________________________________________

As soon as Professor McGonagall left, the crowd suddenly became noisy, and the first years communicated excitedly, guessing each other about the method of sorting and which house they wanted to enter.

"Do you think we can be assigned to Ravenclaw?" Hermione touched Ye Ting and asked uneasily.

Although the little girl is proud, she is still a little uneasy in the face of the strange magical world.

"Of course," Ye Ting firmly encouraged: "I heard that Hogwarts has a talking hat. After the you wear it, it will sort you to the house according to your personality."

"What if my personality is not suitable for Ravenclaw?" Hearing this, Hermione became even more uneasy.

In fact, in the original work, the Sorting Hat evaluated Hermione as being suitable for Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, but finally chose to put her in Gryffindor.

In other words, Hermione is suitable for Ravenclaw.

However, in order to prevent accidents, Ye Ting told her how to decide on her own.

"I've heard of such a method: a strong desire will change the idea of the Sorting Hat." Ye Ting suggested, "As long as you strongly express that you want to join a certain house, the Sorting Hat will consider your opinion."

Hermione nodded suspiciously, reassured.

But on this side, Ron interrupted.

"Why join Ravenclaw? Trust me, Gryffindor is the best house.

He said this loudly and immediately attracted the attention of the new student around him.

Now, as if he poked a hornet's nest, he was instantly overwhelmed by all kinds of words.

Some freshmen refuted loudly, saying that Slytherin was the best house, some were open to Ravenclaw, and some little wizards who liked Gryffindor loudly supported Ron.

The scene was as noisy as the vegetable market.

Ye Ting took Hermione out of the center of the crowd and finally got rid of the noisy freshmen.

"Don't talk to fools, you will be infected." He said so.

Hermione was amused by his words and felt much less nervous.

The noise lasted for a long time, but suddenly, the sound turned into high-pitched screams.

A burst of screams like from horror movies attracted Ye Ting and Hermione's attention.

They turned around when they heard them, and the smile on the little girl's face immediately disappeared. She opened her mouth wide and almost screamed.

Twenty ghosts suddenly appeared on the wall. These pearl-white, translucent ghosts, whispering as they slid across the room, rarely paying attention to these first years. They seemed to be arguing about something.

Compared with the frightened freshmen, Ye Ting calmed down much more, but he was very interested in the physical state of these ghosts.

Because looking at all works with a magical worldview, only the ghosts in Harry Potter have normal minds and are not affected by negative emotions. In addition to the fact that it is difficult to affect the real material, they are different from human beings. They roughly have the same mode of thinking as ordinary people, and even have their own society - in contrast, ghosts in other world views have very low intelligence and are unable to think, or are hateful, and their thinking patterns are very different from human beings. Some long for reincarnation, nostalgia for reality, and do not have much joy and sorrow. In a word, they all tend to be inhumane.

Unfortunately, at present, he has neither the ability nor enough knowledge to study ghosts, but he is still determined to study these ghosts better one day.

Now, Ye Ting has to comfort the nervous Hermione.

Then they heard the ghost talking to the freshmen.

"New students!" A chubby monk smiled at them and said. I think you are probably ready for the test, right?"

Some students nodded silently.

"I hope you can get Hufflepuff!" The monk said, "I used to study in that house."

"Now move forward," said a shrill voice. "The sorting ceremony is about to begin."

Professor McGonagall is back. The ghosts floated across the ground and disappeared across the opposite wall.

"Now, line up in a single line," Professor McGonagall said to the freshman, "follow me."

Following the crowd, Ye Ting passed a double door and came to a luxurious hall.

They never thought there could be such a magical and magnificent place. Students from other houses of the house were already sitting around four long tables, and thousands of candles floating in the air above the table lit up the hall. On the four tables are shining gold plates and goblet glasses. There is another long table at the front of the dining room, which is the seat for professors.

Professor McGonagall took the freshmen there and asked them to line up with all the senior students, with the teachers were behind them.

Chapter 0018 House Sorting

The candlelights swayed in the hall, and hundreds of faces stared at them like pale lanterns. The ghosts were also mixed with the students, shining with a hazy silver light.

Looking up, I saw a little starlight flashing on the velvet-like dark roof.

Ye Ting heard Hermione whisper, "The ceiling here has been enchanted, which makes it look like the night sky outside. I read it in Hogwarts: A History."

It's hard to believe that there is a ceiling above, and it's hard to believe that the roof of the hall is not open.

Professor McGonagall gently put a four-legged stool in front of the freshmen and a wizard hat on the stool. The hat is patched, worn out, and very dirty. Ye Ting knew that this was the famous sorting hat, and he began to look forward to the classic scene - the song of the sorting hat that's changes year by year.

Then, the hat twisted. A wide crack opened on the edge of the hat, like a mouth - the hat began to sing:

"Oh you may not think I'm pretty,

But don't judge on what you see,

I'll eat myself if you can find

A smarter hat than me.

You can keep your bowlers black,

Your top hats sleek and tall,

For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat

And I can cap them all.

There's nothing hidden in your head

The Sorting Hat can't see,

...

...

The song lasted for about five minutes. After the magic hat finished singing, the audience applauded.

However, Ye Ting felt that he really couldn't appreciate this strange song. He thought that the applause just now was quite insincere.

The sorting hat bowed to the four dining tables one by one, and then stood still.

Next is the official sorting.

Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, holding a roll of parchment in her hand.

"Whoever I call now, you will put on a hat, sit on the stool, and listen to the hat." She said, "Hannah Abbott!"

This is a young girl with a ruddy face and two golden braids. Ye Ting remembers that she married Neville Longbottom in the original work.

She stumbled out of the queue and put on the hat, which just covered her eyes.

She sat down and paused for a moment--

"Hufflepuff!" The hat shouted.

The people at the right applauded Hannah and welcomed her to sit at their table.

"Susan Bones!"

"Hufflepuff!" The hat shouted again. Susan ran quickly to Hannah and sat down.

"Terry Boot!"

"Ravenclaw!"

...

"Hermione Granger"

After a few names, it was Hermione's turn. The little girl almost ran to the stool then looked back anxiously.

Ye Ting nodded to her with a smile, and then her tension eased slightly. She then hurriedly put the hat onto her head.

This time, the sorting hat did not report to yell the house immediately, but was silent for two or three seconds, and then reluctantly spit out a "Ravenclaw".

It seems that Hermione and he had a conversation in her mind, and then little successfully persuaded it to change her decision.

"Excellent." Ye Ting applauded excitedly.

This is not only because Hermione was successfully assigned to Ravencrow, but it also means that the "plot" is not immutable, and may even mean that the "destiny" represented by the "plot" does not exist.

The wizards at the second table on the left clapped their hands. Cho Chang and Marietta stood up and introduced Hermione to their students.

Next, the sorting hat reported a lot of names, and the crowd continued to decrease.

When it was Neville's turn, the fat boy ran to Gryffindor with his hat. He completely forgot to take off the hat and made a lot of jokes.

Finally...

"Ting Ye"

This unique name attracted the attention of the little wizards. Ye Ting generously walked out of the crowd and came to the courtyard hat at the attention of the public.

He wears a "mage association" standard cloak. The refined and neat design of the cloak is different from the dark old-fashioned robes of the little wizards, and his outstanding appearance makes Ye Ting arouse countless exclamations and discussions among the little wizards, especially the girls. The boys all want to know where such a beautiful cloak came from and the girls prefer to know who such a handsome person is.

Ye Ting took the sorting hat in his hand, and the slippery feel made him fully understand how dirty it was, coupled with the strange smell, which made him feel that he was holding a rotten orange in his hand, and he couldn't wait to throw it out immediately.

After suppressing his disgust, Ye Ting put on the sorting hat.

As soon as it touched his head, the hat exclaimed loudly, which shocked Hogwarts teachers and students.

"That's strange, this is the first time that I can't see a person's thoughts." In his mind, the funny sound of the sorting hat sounded: "In your mind, I only see a world of chaotic transformation. What did you do?"

"I don't know either." Ye Ting replied in his mind pretendingly, but he realized that the experience and temporal in the space-time tunnel not only brought him the ability to make infinite progress, and talent for time and space, but also a tough and invincible soul that can not be seen through.
