Chapter 45 What is Iron Strike
The opening ceremony is boring, even in the magic world .

During the ten 5 minutes of the opening ceremony, William deeply realized the true meaning of this life.

The only people in the world who will be happy with the opening ceremony are the parents who don't have to be there.

No, I probably have to add the underage wizard who has spent a summer vacation - William saw with his own eyes on the four dining tables below, some students secretly took out the wand on the table and tried to use spell, probably A summer vacation was suffocating.

“If you think about it carefully, is it possible that part of the reason for banning use spell during the summer vacation is to prevent students from resisting the start of school?”

I am very afraid.

William glanced at the students in a bored way - it wasn't because of how unfit he was, but because Lockhart wanted to express himself too much, so that he was pulled over by Lockhart and was secretly excluded by the professors. .

It's better to be a Hogwarts graduate, and reminiscing about the past always brings up a common topic, but does William want to share Azkaban's daily life with these professors?

As for Lockhart, he didn't even know that he was disliked, but he was pulling the head of Hufflepuff next to Professor Pomona Sprawl all the time bragging about the unique plants he had seen in the United States. Hearing the enthusiastic The professor's face turned sullen, but Lockhart kept talking.

While William was doing nothing to watch the students' farce, a professor suddenly left the chair, she pulled the chair as lightly as possible, and then moved to William's side.

"Professor William, please excuse me a little."

The middle-aged witch looked apologetic, but told William stubbornly that if she didn't get an answer this time, Will come next time.

"Please take a seat, who are you?"

"Keridi Boubaji, professor of muggle studies."

She spoke softly Introducing yourself - a class William didn't know about.

"Sorry, I know my question is a bit presumptuous, especially for a stranger, but this question has been bugging me long enough that I wish I could get the answer right away ."

She took out the wand and slipped it quietly.

"I promise that the wizards present, including Dumbledore, can't possibly hear what's going on."

"Professor William, I'm sorry. What does it look like?"

The question was as sharp as she had said earlier.

"Sorry, Professor Bubbaji, I don't want to talk to people about what happened there."

William rejected her decisively—a response that clearly wasn't here Under the consideration of the professor, her eyes instantly became confused.

"Sorry, I was in a hurry—" Professor Boubaji came back to his senses, apologized hastily, and moved his chair back to its original position almost in a hurry.

William knows that most of the actions of the other party are out of good intentions - new professors have to be connected to the old people's circle. Accept William, not as it is now, because Lockhart likes to show off too much, causing William who was pulled over by him to be sidelined.

It's a pity that doing research on people always gave William a strange feeling - probably Azkaban's repercussions, he always felt that letting others research himself was like being surrounded by a dementor and eating himself in a cell.

He could easily joke about Azkaban with old Tom, and rant about that shit with Hagrid, but as soon as someone asks, he becomes extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, at this time, the new students finally started the separate house under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, which made the present professors excited and at the same time swept away the embarrassing atmosphere.

————

Rows of First Year new students lined up stupidly, under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, standing in front of all the senior students with expressions on their faces. Stiff, look pale, not like coming to separate house, but like coming to war.

William was stunned for a moment - what, when the Hogwarts separate house was to let the students put down their wands and fight each other?
putting it that way, according to the discrimination chain about Hogwarts four houses in the prison, it should be to fight fiercely and go to Gryffindor, hide and wait for the fight to finish and go to Ravenclaw, buy the opponent's to Slytherin with money, and the rest People go to Hufflepuff?
Thinking of this, William couldn't help laughing out of puci.

Then, the laughter seemed to be contagious, and the professors all over the table couldn't hold back their laughter.

Lockhart showed his teeth again.

"Haha, after so many years, the rules of the school still haven't changed?"

No professor answered him.

Lockhart had no choice but to find William, and said with a flamboyant face: "Hogwarts has a rule that things about separate house are not allowed to be disclosed to children who have not enrolled in school, and everyone will make up all kinds of excuses. To deceive the children, I guess most of the students below think that the separate house needs a fight."

Who came up with such a boring rule?
Also, persist from generation to generation, just to see First Year students feel alarmed over there?

Well, it does look good - William has to admit it.

Especially after Lockhart explained it, it got even more nasty.

As Lockhart explained, Professor McGonagall gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the First Year new student, and then carried a Peak wizard hat and placed it on the stool.

The old hat with the patch is not known how long ago, it is tattered, and it seems that it has lost even the value of cleaning.

While William waited for Lockhart's conspicuous commentary, the top hat suddenly sang at the top of his voice.

The singing was ugly and out of tune. When William frowned listened to it, he realized that many professors had blocked their ears with magic.

I was careless.

William saw that Lockhart around him didn't forget to plug his ears, and immediately regretted his stupidity.

He doesn't understand Hogwarts' routines, but the professors around him do. When encountering new things, it's good to watch them follow the rules, and there is basically no setback.

The audience applauded after the Sorting Hat singing, as if to celebrate that their ears were finally freed in this way, and the singing hat also moved towards all around and bowed after the applause stand up.

After applause, Professor McGonagall walked to Sorting Hat with a parchment.

"Whoever name I call now will put on the hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the separate house."

The professor said loudly, then raised the parchment to read The first name came out:
"Hannah Abbott!"

The audience fell silent for a while, and William saw that the table on the Hufflepuff side moved towards someone on the table. over the neck.

Even Professor McGonagall was stunned, holding the parchment carefully.

"Sorry, because something happened today, I brought last year's list here."
