Chapter 9 Sorting Ceremony

　　"I don't want your father to come to trouble me." Egg looked into Malfoy's eyes and said softly: "You know, sooner or later you will go to Hogwarts, which means that sooner or later you will fall into my hands. Do you understand what I mean?"

　　Malfoy nodded quickly. Egg was very satisfied with his reaction. Compared with the childish behavior of Malfoy and Harry, Egg felt that the powerful impact might cause a critical blow to Malfoy's young mind. If Malfoy If Fu is not stupid, he should know that he is not someone he can provoke.

　　"My name is Egg Morrissey, remember my name, one day it will make you look up to." Egg looked at Malfoy with a smile: "If you are willing to change your annoying personality, I think I I wouldn't mind becoming friends with you."

　　Malfoy looked at Egg blankly and nodded blankly. His mind was still blank until now. The blow that broke Egg to pieces just now really frightened him.

　　Iger looked at Malfoy: "Are you waiting for me to send you off?"

　　Malfoy woke up from a dream and left the tavern in a panic. Whether it was Diagon Alley or anywhere else, Malfoy felt much safer than staying with Egg.

　　"Mr. Tom, a glass of butterbeer." Egg looked at the rickety old Tom behind the bar and smiled.

　　"I don't recommend drinking to minors, Mr. Morriss..." Tom's voice sounded like a damaged old bellows, especially when he laughed. Egg couldn't help but wonder if his lungs had been stabbed. Hole.

　　"Azkaban won't lock up a curious kid just because he secretly drank beer, and he won't arrest you for selling alcohol either." Egg grinned.

　　"That makes sense..." Tom looked at Iger in a flattering manner and served a glass of butter beer with thick foam. Iger's young hands held the huge oak beer glass, which looked a little funny.

　　Iger drank beer squeakily, and a large group of wizards gathered around him unknowingly. From time to time, people chatted with Iger, and Iger kept chatting with them.

　　Soon, Hagrid's tall figure appeared in the shop.

　　"I just heard that there was a little wizard in the Leaky Cauldron who performed a beautiful Shattered Bones and blew up an entire wall. Seriously, Egg, this is very dangerous." Hagrid looked at Egg and said seriously.

　　Egg looked at Hagrid and opened his mouth. He wanted to tell Hagrid that someone had just said bad things about him, but after thinking about it, he nodded: "I will pay attention next time."

　　"But I heard that the boy was trying to protect his friends, Iger. I was very touched." Hagrid laughed in a rough voice, and couldn't help but hugged Iger gently: "The Malfoys are very annoying, I I don't want you to have any conflict with them because of me, after all, they are still powerful..."

　　Egg looked at Hagrid and laughed, feeling itchy in his heart.

　　"The price of spider venom is higher than I thought. A sneaky old lady bought it from me for sixty galleons." Hagrid looked at Egg and whispered: "It's quite a harvest, isn't it?"

　　Iger nodded and followed Hagrid into Diagon Alley. Hagrid said that he would choose an owl for Iger, which made Iger a little excited.

　　"In two days we'll spend more time in the Forbidden Forest, and we should be able to buy you a good broomstick by then. In fact, you can buy it now, but a broom worth dozens of galleons is obviously not worthy of our future great magic. Master, aren't you?" Hagrid walked with long strides, and Egger trotted behind Hagrid.

　　Hagrid turned to look at Egger running around and laughed. He stretched out his hand to lift Egger and let Egger sit on his shoulders.

　　"I think this will make it easier for you," Hagrid said.

　　Egger sat on Hagrid's broad shoulders and looked around. People around him also looked at Egger. Hagrid's outstanding height made him look particularly eye-catching.

　　Hagrid took Egger to the door of a store. Egger looked at the sign on the store:

　　Eela Owl Shop…

　　"This family has the most comprehensive collection of pets. Most students at Hogwarts have found their messengers here." Hagrid put Egg down, pushed the door open and walked in with Egg.

　　"Welcome." The female owner of the store said with a smile.

　　"Choose which one you like." Hagrid patted Egger's little head.

　　There were many owls in the house, and Iger wanted a sea turtle like Harry Potter. He looked around, hoping to find a good friend.

　　Soon, in a corner of the shop, Iger saw a little guy with big eyes looking at him up and down. This owl had black and white feathers, a small beak, and looked cute with its big eyes.

　　"I want this one!" Egger grinned.

　　"Fifty Galleons!" The female boss looked at Egg and rubbed her hands.

　　"How much?" Iger and Hagrid asked in unison as they stared at the female boss in panic.

　　"Fifty." The female boss shrugged: "That's the laughing owl. It's said to have been extinct decades ago. It's rarer than the giant dragon. Fifty Galleons is already very cheap."

　　In the corner, the big-eyed owl jumped in the cage and looked at Egg expectantly.

　　"What are the characteristics?" Iger looked at the female boss.

　　"It just sounds like someone is laughing. It's weird, isn't it?" The female boss spread her hands.

　　Egg was speechless: "No matter how weird it is, it's just an owl."

　　The female boss looked obviously impatient: "Do you understand that things are rare and valuable? Do you want to buy them or not?"

　　Hagrid opened his mouth to buy it. He could see that Egger really liked the owl.

　　"Thirty Galleons!" Egg frowned and looked at the female boss: "This is the limit we can bear."

　　With that said, Iger made a regretful expression and was about to leave. The female boss hurriedly stopped me and handed the cage to Iger: "Thirty is thirty. You must know that I have already made a lot at thirty. Although it is an extinct species, but you You're right, this is just an owl, the poor little guy has been there for a long time, and others stopped buying it when they heard the price..."

　　The female boss was chattering, looking at the thirty galleons that Egg handed to her, obviously very happy.

　　"Black shop!"

　　The two of them walked in Diagon Alley, and Hagrid was still aggrieved: "A toad only costs a few silvers! The most expensive owl only costs eight or nine galleons! What does she think she is selling? A giant dragon?" "

　　In contrast, Iger was obviously in a good mood. He kept comforting Hagrid and reached out to tease the laughing owl in the cage.

　　In his arms, Guo Ba timidly stretched out his head to look at the laughing owl in the cage, and slowly moved to the side of the cage.

　　The Laughing Owl looked at the Bowtruckle in front of him and suddenly poked his head out. It was so frightened that the Bowtruckle screamed and ran back to Iger's arms. In the cage, the black and white owl suddenly laughed loudly, and its two originally big eyes were also naughty. Squinting.

　　The peculiar laughter immediately attracted the attention of the people around him, and Iger was also amused by it. He laughed: "It's not in vain, is it? This laughter sounds very happy."

　　"The man just said that you might be the last laughing owl. How about calling you Lark? Lucky?" Iger stretched out his finger and poked Lark's beak. Lark glanced at Iger and gently pecked Iger's hand. He gave it a peck and seemed quite satisfied with the name.

　　A few minutes later, Egger and Hagrid came to Gringotts and deposited fifty galleons. Hagrid helped Egger buy a money bag with a traceless stretching spell, and asked Egger to take the rest of the money with him.

　　The two then rode their motorcycles back to Hogwarts, and saw the train heading towards Hogwarts on the way.

　　"Want to see the freshman orientation ceremony?" Hagrid asked.

　　"Is it okay?" Egger was a little curious.

　　"Of course you can. You are also a part of Hogwarts now. There is no reason why you can't." Hagrid smiled.

　　The rumbling motorcycle fell into the Forbidden Forest, and Hagrid signaled Egger to return to the castle first.

　　"I have to pick up the freshmen who are entering the first grade. Iger, go and get ready for the dinner. The entrance dinner will be very sumptuous." Hagrid patted Iger's little head.

　　Egg nodded and walked towards the castle holding Lark's cage.

　　After a while, Egger strolled out of the Gryffindor common room after finishing cleaning up. The house elf Kaka took him towards the college auditorium.

　　"I've been here for two days and I still can't remember the location of the auditorium. I really doubt what's in your head, Egg." A greasy voice came, and Egg turned around to look, and saw a red light directed towards him. Comes lasing.

　　Egger was suddenly shocked, and the red light was blocked by an invisible barrier more than one meter in front of him.

　　"Not bad silent casting. It seems you don't even need a wand now." Snape looked at Egg with a sinister look, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting, and then he looked at Kaka: "You Go back, I'll take him to the auditorium."

　　Kaka bowed to Snape in a panic, and then slowly disappeared.

　　Egg couldn't help but feel lucky that he had kept his armor on as Snape said, otherwise it would have been uncomfortable to do what he had just done.

　　Egger followed Snape with small steps, and the two walked into the auditorium. At this time, the four long rows of tables in the auditorium were already filled with groups of young wizards in black robes.

　　Seeing Snape and Egg walking in, everyone's curious eyes fell on Egg.

　　"He looks like he's less than ten years old? Is he a freshman?"

　　"Maybe it's some relative of Snape? Otherwise, the old bat wouldn't be in the mood to take care of a child..."

　　There were all kinds of noises all around, and Ige felt a little embarrassed. Being stared at by so many people was obviously a bit stressful.

　　"Little egg!" A clear female voice sounded, and Egg turned to look at her. On the Gryffindor table, Elsa was looking at her excitedly: "Sit here, here!"

　　Egg looked at Aisha and smiled. Having a familiar person in a strange environment is a very happy thing.

　　Just as he was about to walk towards Aisha, Snape roughly picked up Iger's collar, and a sinister voice appeared in Iger's ear.

　　"It's a pity, Miss Smith..." Snape looked at Elsa with his ever-changing stinky face: "Iger is my disciple. I think he should sit in Slytherin instead of... Gryffindor?"

　　The noise around him suddenly became more enthusiastic. Snape was talking about disciples instead of students. When did this greasy old guy start accepting disciples?

　　Elsa looked at Snape without flinching: "But I think he hasn't arrived at the branch yet, right? He should be free where to sit."

　　"Miss Smith is right." Professor McGonagall appeared beside several people at some point: "Where to sit should be the child's freedom. We have no right to interfere, Severus."

　　Snape looked at Professor McGonagall, then put down Iger's collar and looked at Iger with threatening eyes.

　　Egg grinned, happily sat down next to Aisha, and then turned around and waved to Snape.

　　Snape's expression became obviously uglier. He snorted and walked to the teacher's desk with long strides.

　　Professor McGonagall looked at Iger, pursed her lips, and a smile appeared on her serious face, and Iger also grinned at her.

　　"What is going on? Why are you here?" Elsa looked at Egger with her beautiful eyes: "I was shocked when I received Professor Dumbledore's letter. Aren't you only eight years old? "

　　Ai Ge spoke concisely and to the point, and whispered in Aisha's ear: "Muran broke out, come here to recuperate..."

　　"The Obscurus?" Aisha looked at Ige in panic, looking him up and down: "Oh my god, doesn't that mean..."

　　"It doesn't matter, I can roughly control it. Dumbledore said that it will be fine if you survive the age of ten." Egg waved his hand quickly.

　　Aisha was still worried and checked Egger up and down.

　　Egger looked at Aisha: "I agree with you to adopt me, what do you think?"

　　"Really?" Aisha's eyes lit up and she pulled Ai into her arms: "That's great. When I graduate this year, I will find a job with a good salary. Then I can completely adopt you."

　　"I have a way to make money." Egg laughed: "I still have fifty galleons in Gringotts."

　　Don't underestimate fifty Galleons, it costs more than two thousand yuan in RMB! In this era, the monthly salary is much higher than that of many wizards. A Muggle worker's salary of more than one hundred pounds a month is only twenty or thirty galleons when converted into galleons.

　　Miss Aisha has always been so gentle and beautiful, it would be better if she didn't always tease herself...

　　"And I will probably live in Hogwarts for three more years. In any case, I must stay with Old Deng before I am ten years old." Iger muttered, and the little lions around him were all excited. He started to come up to talk to Egg out of curiosity.

　　At the teacher's table, Dumbledore looked at Egg on the Gryffindor table with a smile: "He is very approachable, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net, isn't he?"

　　"Yes, but I still think he should belong to our Ravenclaw." Professor Flitwick was obviously still worrying about Egg's ownership.

　　"But he couldn't answer the eagle's question." Dumbledore smiled.

　　"Many students in Ravenclaw can't answer the question. That eagle has nothing to do all day long and only thinks about problems. There's something wrong with it and it has nothing to do with him. I always couldn't answer the question when I was in school." Flitwick The professor was not in a good mood, but Snape, who was not far away from him, was obviously in a worse mood than him.

　　One of them felt that a smart wizard who belonged to his own college had been abducted by Dumbledore, and the other felt that the disciples he had taught should sit in his own college, so naturally he didn't look down upon Dumbledore.

　　"I think if there can be more laughter in your college, that child will be happy to go to your college." Dumbledore picked up the golden cup at hand and took a sip: "The new students are about to come in, let's start organizing branching. Let's do the ceremony."

　　The door to the auditorium opened, and Professor McGonagall walked in with a large group of timid little wizards.

　　In the next few minutes, Egger saw the Sorting Hat singing. To be honest, Egger felt that there was nothing interesting except the rhyme. However, Egger thought of the dead raven at the door of the Ravenclaw common room, and he felt that the Sorting Hat was singing. The hat is still a bit of a pursuit.

　　In the crowd, one by one, the little wizards were read by Professor McGonagall, and then walked to the dining table of their own college with excited and uneasy faces. Egg couldn't help but feel a little envious, but he was not in a hurry, he wanted to survive first. …

　　The shortest kid among the freshmen seemed to be taller than Iger, which made Iger a little depressed. He looked at Aisha next to him. Iger didn't know how long it would take to push this girl.
