Chapter 22 Start the branch
"The school banquet is about to begin, but before you get to the auditorium, you must first determine which college you each enter."
"The branch is a very important meaning, because during your time at school, the college is like your home in Hogwarts. You have to attend classes with other classmates in the college, stay in the college dormitory together, and spend your spare time in the college's common room together."
"The names of the four colleges are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin."
"Each academy has its own glorious history and has produced outstanding wizards. Your outstanding performance during your studies at Hogwarts will earn bonus points for the college you crouched in, and any violation will be a deduction for the college you are in."
"At the end of the year, colleges that get high scores can receive the College Cup, which is a very high honor. I hope that no matter which college you get, you can win glory for your college."
Professor McGonagall pursed his lips and glanced at the freshmen's faces again.
"In a few minutes, the branch ceremony will be held in front of all the teachers and students in the school. I suggest that you sort out yourself well while waiting to make yourself look more energetic."
As she said that, she glanced at the faces of several sloppy boys, looked at Jamini again, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, Professor McGonagall's face stiffened again as if he had thought of something bad.
"I'll pick you up when you're ready there. Please keep quiet when you wait."
After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, he left the room.
The freshmen waiting here did not remain quiet as Professor McGonagall said. As soon as Professor McGonagall left, the room became noisy.
"Do you know how the branch is from?" Hermione asked in a low voice, pulling Jamini's cuff.
"If I told you, then there would be no surprise at all?" Jamini chuckled softly.
Hermione's nervous little face turned pale: "I just hope it's not scared."
The little wizards around were panicked, and only Jamini was as stable as an old dog.
In fact, if possible, Jamini hoped that he would be a little nervous, but he knew the plot and made it less interesting.
The only expectation is probably that I can get Slytherin...
There was also a small episode while waiting. Several ghosts with white bodies seemed to have taken the wrong path and penetrated the walls to the small room of the freshmen, but they left quickly.
Just after they left, Professor McGonagall returned.
"Now, line up and follow me."
The freshmen lined up and followed Professor McGonagall, walked out of the room, passed through the foyer, and after passing a double door, they came to a luxurious auditorium.
Candles floated in the air, illuminating the entire auditorium. From time to time, bats flew past the roof of the auditorium.
There are beautiful reliefs carved out of marble on the walls of the auditorium. Four long tables worth dozens of meters were already filled with students from other grades. There are shining golden plates and clean and transparent goblets on the table.
There was another long table on the table at the first floor of the auditorium, which was the teachers' seats. Professor McGonagall brought the first-year students to the front of the teacher's seat and asked them to line up against all the students, which made Jamini a little embarrassed.
"The ceiling has been applied, and it looks like the sky outside. I read it in "Hogwarts: A School History."
Hermione muttered in Jaminie's ear.
"I'm glad you're still in the mood to think about this." Jamini smiled: "It seems you're not too nervous."
"No." Hermione's face was so white: "I just didn't know what to say when I was nervous."
Jamini: "…"
Didn't let Jamini wait too long, soon Professor McGonagall placed a four-corner stool in front of the freshmen, and put a pointed wizard's hat on the stool.
The hat looked ragged and patched everywhere, grinding shiny, and Jamini felt that the hat had to be washed for years.
The moment the wizard hat was placed on the stool, the auditorium suddenly became silent.
Immediately afterwards, the hat twisted coquettishly and cracked a mouth-like gap.
Here comes Hogwarts rap in the Sorting Hat!
‘Are you ready? Everyboy comes with me!’
Jamini was whispering in his mind.
"You may think I'm not pretty,
But don't judge people by their appearance.
If you can find a wiser hat than me,
I can eat myself.
You can make your bowler hats black and shiny,
Make your high-top silk hat smooth and crisp,
I'm a test hat for Hogwarts.
Of course, it is superior to your hat.
Any thoughts hidden in your mind,
Even the golden eyes of the demon hat cannot escape the magic eyes,
Put it on and try it, I will tell you,
Which college should you be assigned to?
You may belong to Gryffindor,
There is the courage buried in the heart,
Their courage, courage and magnanimity,
Make Gryffindor stand out;
You may belong to Hufflepuff,
The people there are honest and loyal,
Hufflepuff students are stoic and honest,
Not afraid of hard labor;
If you are smart,
Perhaps the wisdom of old Lavenclaw,
Those wise and knowledgeable people,
I always meet their fellow men there;
Maybe you'll go to Slytherin,
Maybe you make sincere friends here,
But those cunning and insidious people will do whatever they want,
Go to achieve their goals.
Come and wear me! Don't be afraid!
Never panic!
In my hands (even though I don't even have one hand)
You're absolutely safe
Because I am a magic hat that can be thoughtful!"
Just like the one Jamie who saw in the Philosopher's Stone, the song of the Sorting House Hat did not change at all because of Jamie's coming to this world.
Good guy, just copy and paste?
After the branch hat finished singing, the audience burst into applause. The branch hat laughed and bowed to the four dining tables one by one, and then stopped moving.
Professor McGonagall walked two steps forward, holding a roll of parchment in his hand.
"Whoever I call my name now will put on a hat, sit on a stool, and wait for the branch."
Professor McGonagall said, pronounced the first name, but no one noticed it. In the corner of the front row, Jamini muttered in a low voice, and his mouth shape turned out to be exactly the same as Professor McGonagall!
"Hannah Aibo!"
Yes Paris ~
A little girl with a rosy face and two golden braids stumbled out of the queue, put on her hat, and the branch hat covered her head, just covering her eyes.
She sat down and paused for a moment—
"Hufflepuff!"
A loud voice sounded, and the students at a long table on the right immediately cheered, applauding Hannah and welcoming her to sit at Hufflepuff's long table.
"Susan Bones!"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Terry Butt!"
"Ravenclaw!"
"Actually, I think it's pretty good to get Ravenclaw." Jamini said with a chuckling, "Did you notice it? At least 60% of Ravenclaw's long table are girls. Smart and beautiful girls appear together in groups, and it feels like the needle is not poked."
When Jaminie said this, Hermione was no longer nervous.
Instead, he was full of anger and his flushing little face.
Just then—
"Hermione Granger!"
Hermione almost ran to the front of the stool and put the sewing hat on her head.
"Ahhh! A very smart and brave little witch, let me think about where should I get you?"
A small voice rang in Hermione's ear.
“Gryffindor!”
Hermione's heart was roaring.
She was going to Gryffindor and used her wisdom to smash all the little bitches of Ravenclaw, making Jamini realize what kind of girl is the best!
