Harry Potter’s Natural Villain
Chapter 34: Another Branch
"The first-year freshmen come here, watch your feet." A huge body is maintaining the order of the crowd, and he will lead the freshmen on board.In order to imitate the scene where the four great wizards who originally founded the school arrived at Hogwarts, all freshmen had to take a small boat across the lake to reach Hogwarts Castle in groups of four.As for the students of other grades, they returned to the castle in a carriage.
"Goodbye." Luna waved her hand to say goodbye to Malfoy.
"Better never see again." Malfoy muttered and waved goodbye to her politely. Of course this must be impossible.
Following the flow of people, Malfoy also found a carriage and stepped on it.
When the carriage was full of students, it began to move slowly, and then gradually accelerated. Even though this might be the effect of magic, some students were still amazed and began to discuss the principle of this and what magic was used.
"The little girl just now wouldn't think that way if she saw it." Malfoy remembered the girl who had just broken up just now, and she would definitely see Ye Qi pulling the cart."Actually, she is quite pathetic." Thinking of this, Malfoy felt that he had been "ruined" throughout the journey.
The students walked through the gate and walked to the hall, except for the first grade students.
Countless candles stopped in mid-air, shining on the four long tables full of people, shining the golden plates and goblets gleaming.
The stars are shining on the ceiling. The ceiling is magical and will always reflect the sky outside.
Malfoy fiddled with the food in the bowl boredly and looked around boredly. He saw Hermione also looking around, with an anxious look on his face, obviously worried about Harry and Ron, because the two of them were too late. long time.
"The French people are so hospitable, I can't bear to leave the guests." Malfoy thought of Pansy who was trapped in France again. He was also late, but somebody could make it vigorous.
The door on the side of the auditorium opened slowly, and the new students walked in slowly in a long line. Most of them were nervous. For example, Ginny, who had a relationship before, her face was pale and kept constant. Looking around, it seems that I want to find something to rely on.
"Your male god and brother should be being told by Snape now." Malfoy said heartily.
As for Luna, she seemed to be at the other extreme. She seemed to be in her own home. Although she was also observing the surroundings, Malfoy could see that there was a light of curiosity in her eyes, and he guessed she was looking again. Those creatures that were fancied out.The eyes of the two of them converged, and Luna even waved to him.
Professor McGonagall called the freshmen forward one by one. What I have to say is that after a year, the sorting cap has become more torn, and a few huge puddings have been put on it. It is almost impossible to see the original look. Up.
"Colin Crevy," Professor McGonagall called.
A thin boy tremblingly walked to the front of the stage and slowly put on the sorting hat. Without much effort, the sorting hat shouted: "Gryffindor!" The boy blushed with excitement. The tension was different, he jumped happily to the Gryffindor site, but his excited expression soon dimmed again, because he did not see his "idol" present.
"Ginny Weasley."
The little girl moved to this shabby hat step by step. She was like a prisoner waiting for the trial. She pressed her lips tightly. Her little hand trembled and picked up the hat and put it on, for fear that the hat would say "Slytherin "These words.But obviously this is an unnecessary concern.
"I haven't seen the Weasleys go anywhere else, Gryffindor!" The sorting hat yelled out the moment Ginny put on the hat, and Ginny let out a breath of relief.
"I'll just say your worry is unnecessary, Ginny." The two brothers said in unison.
Then a few students came to the stage, the sorting hat was resolute, and their college was quickly assigned, but he soon welcomed an unexpected guest.
"Luna Lovegood."
The girl is different from the nervous students before. Her mouth has a faint smile, like a crescent. She doesn't seem to care about this ritual that will determine her life for the next seven years. She even observes carefully before putting on her hat. After a while, the scoring court urged.
A few strands of pale golden hair sticking out from the torn brim of her hat made her look even stranger.
"Well, let me think about it." The sorting hat tilted a corner of it, thinking, the girl in front of it made it a bit at a loss because it didn't know what she was thinking, or could not keep up with her Thinking."Weird girl." The Sorting Hat came to such a conclusion after being silent for a while."Perhaps Ravenclaw will suit you." It hesitantly judged, for the first time in so many years.
"Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of mankind." Taking off her hat, Luna repeated this sentence in an aria-like tone, and then moved to Ravenclaw's position. Some students stood up and expressed their gratitude to her. Welcome.
Afterwards, the branching of a few students was resolved, and the branching ceremony officially ended.
"Listen with your ears plugged!" Malfoy changed the spell a bit, turning the target into himself.Some meaningless buzzing sounds are also stronger than the various magic school songs sung by the Weasley twins.While others were singing in various strange tones, he lowered his head and wondered how he should spend this year.
"There are two possible situations now. First: The diary is taken by someone outside the school, and then the whereabouts are unknown, so that there will always be a Horcrux that cannot be destroyed." Malfoy shook his head."Of course this possibility is very small. The biggest possibility is that it was taken away by a certain student. After all, it was a bookstore." Malfoy thought of the ring with such a powerful bewitching power, and always spontaneously directed to the people around him. Exuding temptation.
"Perhaps the material is different?" Malfoy thought he didn't feel any special feeling when he got the diary, and there was no voice calling in his ear.
"Do I already have a mental immunity?" Malfoy smiled mockingly.
The reasoning continued, "That is the second possibility. The students are taken away and brought to the school. The final owner may be any student. Even the students who were not present at the time may also get it through other means." Thinking of this, Malfoy couldn't help but get a headache. .
Basilisk is easy to solve, and any professor-level character should be able to take it. For example, Professor McGonagall only needs to activate some castle soldiers, and the crowded tactical pile will also pile it up. This trick can draw a salary from the bottom, but it will also start to start. Increase the difficulty of finding Horcrux.What's more, Malfoy couldn't just tell them directly: "Professor, there is a secret room under the girls' bathroom, and there is a basilisk in it."First of all, I can't explain it clearly.
"I can only go one step at a time." Malfoy thought helplessly."But there are always more prevention methods." He thought of his plan again.
Suddenly he felt that the table in front of him was shaking violently. He looked up and saw a face that he couldn’t be more familiar with. He looked at him righteously and seemed to have called him many times.
"Welcome back to school." He said with a smile, unwrapping the spell, feeling his head hurt again.
