The team began to move forward. They walked out of the room, passed through the foyer, and finally entered the luxurious restaurant. The ceiling of the restaurant was enchanted, with candles suspended and twinkling stars, attracting the attention of many freshmen just like the night sky outside.

Nydia heard Hermione introducing someone to someone that she had read about this in a book, but Nydia's mind could not care about it at all at this time. All she could think about was the sorting ceremony.

Students from other grades in the restaurant are already sitting around four long tables. Nidia guessed that these four long tables should represent the four colleges respectively. There is also a long table on the upper stage of the restaurant.

That's where the teachers sit. Professor McGonagall took the first-year students there. She gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first-year students, and placed a pointed wizard hat on the stool. The hat was on

The patch is very worn and there is still some dust on it.

Nitya didn't understand what this hat was for. As she was looking at it, the hat actually twisted on its own. A wide slit opened on the edge of the hat and turned into a mouth. The hat opened its mouth and sang a song.

Come.

A strange song with a somewhat funny melody. Nidia thought it was probably a improvised tune. The content of the lyrics was to introduce the general situation of the four colleges. After singing the song, Hat bowed to the four tables one by one, and everyone in the audience

There was applause, and Nidia also applauded, although she thought the song was not good.

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

"Now whoever's name I call will come up, put on his hat, and wait for sorting." She said, "Hannah Abbott!"

A little girl with two golden braids ran up, put on her hat and sat on the four-legged stool. After a few seconds of pause, the hat shouted loudly: "Hufflepuff!"

The long table of Hufflepuff House on the right burst into cheers and applause, welcoming the little girl to join their house.

"So this hat is used to decide which college we go to?" Nidia looked at all this in surprise. It was decided by this hat, and it was announced directly in public without giving others a chance to choose? Nidia

Tia couldn't help but feel more nervous. She felt that her chances of being sorted into Gryffindor were getting slimmer and slimmer.

"Don't worry, we will all be in Slytherin, there is no doubt about it." Draco thought Nydia was afraid of being placed in another house alone.

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe some people would rather stay with Harry Potter?" Pansy said at the side.

"Pansy, what are you talking about?" Draco said to Pansy.

"Humph!" Pansy turned her head away angrily.

Nydia did not speak as she listened to all this. In fact, Pansy was right. Nydia did not want to enter Slytherin, but she did not dare to tell Draco about her thoughts. He was so certain that she would enter.

Slytherin, and indeed it was, she would be in Slytherin, that hat would sort her into Slytherin.

More and more people went up. Nydia noticed that the time it took for Hat to sort everyone into different houses was different. Some had to wait for a while, but some reported out of the house quickly. When Draco went up, Hat was almost there.

The moment he touched his head, he screamed Slytherin. Draco walked into the long table of Slytherin College with a proud look on his face, and Pansy and Blaise also entered as expected.

Slytherin, the moment Pansy put down her hat, she quickly ran to the long table of Slytherin College and occupied the seat next to Draco. When Nydia turned her head to look, she was also looking at it proudly.

Looking at Nitya, her expression seemed to be declaring her victory.

There are fewer and fewer people left. Ron and Hermione have entered Gryffindor as they wished. Also entering Gryffindor are Michelle and Neville. Neville's hat seemed to hesitate when he went up.

It took a long time, but Gryffindor was finally announced.

"I really hope that it is not decided by such a hat. We can discuss and accept the opinions of others." Nydia has basically accepted the reality in her heart. She began to comfort herself. Slytherin is not bad, at least Della.

The science is there.

"Yeah! I think so too." Because there were fewer and fewer people, Harry was already standing next to Nydia.

"Harry Potter!"

When Professor McGonagall read out Harry's name, the whole place suddenly fell silent. Everyone seemed to be holding their breath as they looked at the boy-who-lived. Even the teachers on the teachers' bench did the same.

Harry walked up and put the hat on his head. Everyone was waiting for the boy's sorting result. Harry spent the longest time that Nydia had ever seen. It seemed to be a very difficult choice.

, finally, after a long wait, the hat loudly announced Harry's sorting result, Gryffindor.

Loud cheers erupted from Gryffindor House, and the Weasley twins shouted loudly, "We have Potter." Nydia was a little envious of Harry at this time, for being so popular with everyone.

Welcome.

"Nidia." I don't know when Harry actually walked up to Nidia. "You can express your thoughts to the hat, and it will consider it." Harry whispered these words in Nidia's ear.

He quickly left and walked towards the Gryffindor table, leaving Nydia to digest what he said.

What does it mean to express one's thoughts to a hat? How to express it? Harry's words made Nydia confused, but she ignited hope in her heart that she would consider her personal thoughts!

"Nydia Field." Before Nydia could understand Harry's words, Professor McGonagall had already called her name.

Nydia was stunned for a moment, looking up at Professor McGonagall, without speaking or moving forward. The words Harry just said were echoing in her mind.

"Miss Field?" Professor McGonagall urged again when Nydia didn't respond.

Nidia hurried forward, picked up the hat on the four-legged stool and put it on. She closed her eyes and waited for the hat to announce her college.

"After many years, I finally met the inheritor of the Slytherin bloodline. There is no doubt that Slytherin will be your belonging." The voice of the hat actually sounded in Nidia's mind. Nidia

While he was surprised that the hat actually knew his identity, he also understood the meaning of Harry's words.

"No, I don't want to go to Slytherin. Anywhere will do, not Slytherin." Just when the hat was about to announce the result, Nydia kept shouting to the hat in her heart.

"Don't want to go to Slytherin? Another one who doesn't want to go to Slytherin! Forget about the previous one. If you don't enter Slytherin with your identity, the old Slytherin will probably be so angry that he will tear me apart.

Broken." said the hat.

"Is there no other school suitable for me? Except Slytherin." Nydia begged.

"It's not that there are no others suitable for you, it's just your bloodline..." Hat hesitated.

"The sorting is to allow students to enter a place that truly suits them, right? It's not just based on bloodline!" Hat's hesitation made Nidia feel that she still had a chance to fight for it.

"Indeed, I have become pedantic. Okay then!" The hat was silent for a moment. "Gryffindor." This time the hat no longer spoke to Nydia, but announced loudly.

Nidia took off her hat, feeling a little unbelievable that she had succeeded.

"Okay, Miss Field, hurry up and find a seat to sit down. There are other children behind you." Seeing that Nydia was still waiting to move, Professor McGonagall urged her again.

"Sorry, Professor!" After saying this, Nydia hurriedly walked to the Gryffindor House Head's table, and she sat next to Harry.

"Nitya, is this the result you want?" Harry asked Nitya.

"Yes, this is the result I want. Thank you Harry, thank you." Nidia said happily.

"Welcome, Nydia." Ron welcomed Nydia happily. In fact, before, he thought that Nydia would go to Slytherin, and he felt a little pity in his heart.

"Hey! Nydia," one of the twin brothers called Nydia. Nydia couldn't tell whether he was Fred or George. "You are indeed different. Congratulations, Gryffindor welcomes you."

"

"Thank you." Nidia was very happy at the moment, just like the day she received the admission notice, her excitement was beyond words.

Soon, the remaining freshmen had been sorted into houses. Professor McGonagall put away the parchment, took the four-legged stool and left.

"Welcome!" Professor Dumbledore, who was sitting in the chair, stood up. "Welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before the banquet begins, I want to say a few words. That is: Idiot! Cry!

Residue! Screw it! "Thank you everyone!"

Nidia looked at the principal carefully. He wore a pair of half-moon glasses, had a long crooked nose, and his silver hair and beard were hanging down. It was different from Nidia's imagination. She thought he should be

He is a more serious person.

Dumbledore seemed to feel Nydia's gaze and suddenly looked towards Nydia. He smiled at Nydia. Nydia was so frightened that she quickly turned her head back, even though it was only towards her.
