Chapter 294 School Start 12
When Severus was socializing, Professor McGonagall had already called out many names and asked them to go up to the sorting house, and the number of little wizards waiting dropped sharply.
Soon, Professor McGonagall's name made Severus stop that boring social interaction.
"Lily Evans."
The red-haired girl stepped up the steps with big strides, then supported the sides of the stool with her hands, kicked her feet, and sat on the stool.
James fixed his eyes on Lily, engraving all the movements of her sitting on the stool in his mind.
"Lily is so cute!!!" James screamed into Sirius' ear with red eyes.
Sirius: ...
Are you polite?
The ears are going deaf!It's so loud! ! !
Sirius recalled it, and found that it was just a common action of climbing a stool. He couldn't see where the cuteness was at all?
"Gryffindor...must be Gryffindor..." James squeezed his hand tightly subconsciously because of nervousness, staring fixedly at the "mouth" of the Sorting Hat, hoping to Hear the results that he is satisfied with.
Looking at his worthless look, it seems that if he heard the Sorting Hat say something other than "Gryffindor", he would burst into tears and rush forward to tear the "mouth" of the Sorting Hat.
Sirius, whose arm was squeezed so hard by James that his blood was congested: ...
The actual pronunciation part is not the sorting hat of the "mouth":...
Sirius/The Sorting Hat: Don't be so outrageous, boy!
"Gryffindor!"
At this moment, the difficult voice of the Sorting Hat sounded wonderful in James' ears, as if it were the most beautiful words he had ever heard in his life.
At the Slytherin table, after hearing that Lily was sorted into Gryffindor, Severus was inevitably entangled in a wave of disappointment and frustration.
Although he didn't have a deep contact with Lily, this little time alone was enough for him to see Lily's warm and kind heart.
He knew that Lily would never be sorted into Slytherin, no matter because of her birth or character, and the possibility of going to Gryffindor was very high.
But it's one thing to know, and quite another when the dust actually settles.
Severus felt that his heart was stuffy, as if a thick shadow had been cast over it, making it hard to breathe.
Although Severus still had no expression on his face, there was still a little bit of true emotion in his gestures.
Lucius, who has excellent eyesight and is very good at observing words and expressions, immediately noticed that something was wrong with him.
In other words, when Professor McGonagall called out the name "Lily Evans", Lucius noticed some emotional fluctuations in Severus.
Lucius unconsciously stroked a piece of tender meat with his thumb on Narcissa's hand.
The shadow cast by the bright candlelight shrouded his gray-blue eyes, and the treacherous calculations and profit schemes that kept surging in them were completely hidden.
The heir of the aloof Prince family would actually pay special attention to an little-known witch of the genus.
This made Lucius chuckle to himself but also a secret pleasure.
It feels good to have a secret, especially if you can profit from this hidden information in the future - although it is not yet known exactly what benefits will be gained in the future.
After Narcissa sensed the movement in her hands, she immediately knew what Lucius was thinking about—the unconscious rubbing of his thumbs was a unique habit when he was thinking.
Narcissa sat beside her quietly, letting Lucius hold her hand, trying not to interfere with her thoughts.
Until Lucius stopped his thumb movement, he squeezed Narcissa's hand firmly to comfort him.
"Sissy, there are several things you like today."
Gentleman Lucius took the meal for Narcissa again.
Soon, a dinner that fully suits Narcissa's taste was presented in front of her with exquisite presentation.
……
The sub-ceremony ended soon, and seeing the little wizards on the long table lined up in their positions, Afu felt a sense of satisfaction and relief.
Albus quickly finished his opening speech. He knew that Afu would definitely respond to Bella's gaffe at the sorting ceremony today, so he gave the rest of the time to Afu.
"Perhaps, Professor Afu has something to say to you." According to the tone of his speech, Albus seemed to be saying something to the little wizards, but he turned his head to Afu to ask for her opinion.
Afu nodded, indicating that she did have something to say.
Albus then took his seat and left the rest to Afu.
"Maybe I have said these words many times in normal times..." Afu's eyes swept over the old students, especially the senior students.
"The four houses of Hogwarts have always been equal, and there is no distinction between high and low as you call them."
"The four founders may have different achievements and status in different fields, but they are all the same in Hogwarts, in creating schools, and in teaching young wizards to learn to control their own magic power."
"All wizards who have studied at Hogwarts, even if they have particularly prominent emotions for the founders represented by the college they came from, should have the same respect for the four founders."
Afu vaccinated the little wizards and warned them that they should not despise and belittle the founders of the other academy representatives because of the academy's standpoint.
"The so-called 'academy' traits that you are spreading now are actually the founder's expectations for young wizards, not the criteria for each academy to select students—"
Afu's tone was solemn and solemn.
At this time, she abandoned her usual gentleness and softness, and rarely showed her sharpness.
Tom has been looking at Afu's figure intently, and the softness in his eyes is about to overflow.
Afu took a deep look at the logo of the Hogwarts school emblem hanging on the wall, and glanced at the flags of the four colleges hanging from the dome.
Then, he continued with a seemingly nostalgic tone: "Godric Gryffindor hopes that the little wizards will become brave, uphold justice like a hero, and dare to resist injustice."
Afu's eyes swept over those Gryffindors who acted recklessly and often went their own way indiscriminately, and swept over those little wizards who usually clamored that Gryffindors were brainless fools.
"Ms. Helga Hufflepuff hopes that the little wizards will not forget to be down-to-earth, step by step firmly and work hard towards the goal, and hope that the little wizards will become just, loyal, humble, and tolerant people."
Afu's eyes fell on those Hufflepuffs who were inferior and shy, and on those little wizards who mocked Hufflepuffs as idiots.
