Zhang Qiu looked out the dark window and said, "I feel that this owl will be very tired in the future."

Astoria will probably write letters as if she were writing a diary. Whenever she has the chance, she will write to her parents immediately. Her owl will probably not have time to rest.

Harry was worried about the tragic fate of the owl named Xiaowei.

While there was still some time, Harry told Astoria some things about school.

I believe that for the first-year students, it will give her a lot of peace of mind.

"Later, we will enter a very big castle, there will be a sumptuous banquet to welcome you, and there will be many magical places in the school."

"Before this, you freshmen will be divided into four colleges."

"That's an old talking hat. As long as you put it on, it will tell you which college you want to go to."

When Astoria heard this, she felt impatient.

"Brother, which college are you in? Can I be in the same school as you?"

"This is not your choice. The hat will choose the college that suits you best. But no matter where you are assigned, we can meet often." Harry comforted.

Astoria felt a little depressed.

"But you have to remember that after the banquet, someone will take you to your dormitory. You must wash your hair. I guess that hat must not have been washed for decades and it is very dirty."

Hermione and Zhang Qiu pursed their lips and smiled.

Astoria completely believed Harry's words and nodded seriously: "Okay."

"You don't have the chance to see the school clearly today. You can visit the school thoroughly tomorrow."

"Oh, remember, there are many ghosts in school. They all like to play tricks on people. Don't be afraid of them."

Harry told her a lot of things, and Astoria had difficulty absorbing them.

…

The train stopped.

The destination has arrived.

"Okay, it's time for you to go to the first-year students. Someone will take you there."

Astoria was very reluctant to leave, but Harry still took her to the first-year team.

As soon as he got out of the car, he met Draco Malfoy, accompanied by his two followers, Ban Crabbe and Goyle, and a girl named Millicent.

Millicent dressed up like an alternative, with messy hair, black eye shadow on her eyes, and heavy lipstick.

Harry didn't know how this aesthetic came to be.

The two teams faced each other head on.

In terms of momentum, the four Harrys were defeated miserably. Gobb and Crabbe had fat faces and Millicent's scary makeup, making them look like delinquents who could pull out a fruit knife and rob at any time.

In terms of appearance, the four Harrys are a million miles ahead of them.

Millicent has been looking at Hermione and Zhang Qiu with jealous eyes.

Astoria shouted: "Draco..."

"Brother" was swallowed into her stomach, and she suddenly remembered Harry's "warning" and did not dare to shout anymore.

She was so frightened that she hid behind Harry, wondering what if this brother snatched her parents away.

Malfoy looked at Astoria in confusion, wondering how she could be with Harry Potter.

He wrinkled his nose and said, "Uncle Greengrass asked me to take care of you at school, but I hate children." When he said this, he was so old-fashioned that he completely forgot that he was the same age last year.

"But what I hate the most is Harry Potter next to you. Since you are with him, it saves me a lot of trouble, huh." Malfoy walked away arrogantly.

Harry looked at Malfoy's back with pity, oh, you deserve to be single.

Astoria didn't seem to be affected at all, and maybe she was happy that she didn't have a major hidden danger.

He just said doubtfully: "Brother Draco...he looks different from when I saw him before."

"That's because if he dares to be so rude at home, his father will beat him to death with a belt, assuming there is such a thing as a belt in Malfoy Manor."

…

As usual, Hagrid held a lantern and led the new students in the first year.

Although Astoria, like other children, was very scared when she looked at the huge Hagrid, she thought about what Harry told her that Hagrid was a good person. Her fear slowly disappeared, and she was left sighing.

It's really like the giant in the story.

When Harry and the others entered the auditorium, the first-year students had not yet come in. It was immediately obvious that Professor McGonagall was doing something that was repeated every year: briefly meeting with the new students, informing them about the four colleges, and about

The College Cup is selected at the end of each year to enhance their sense of identity with their college.

After the old students sat down in their seats one after another, they all whispered to the classmates next to them about what they had done during the summer vacation and what interesting things they had experienced.

After a while, the freshmen, led by Professor McGonagall, lined up in a long line and pushed open the tall wooden door.

"Wow"

They all exclaimed in unison.

This auditorium is simply scary. There are four long tables from one end to the other, and the tables are already full of people. Countless candles are floating in the air, and the torches burning on the walls illuminate the entire auditorium, illuminating the tables.

Golden plates and glasses sparkle.

What made them stunned the most was that they could see the night sky outside from the ceiling above their heads.

This is really amazing.

This scene is what the old students love to watch the most. The new students are dumbfounded and shocked by the magic of the school, which is particularly interesting.

"Today..." Dumbledore stood at the front of the teacher's bench and began his speech, recalling last year and looking forward to next year. His exciting words won warm applause from the students.

"Now, let's start the sorting."

There were about eighty freshmen, and they looked at a tall wizard's hat on the central bench with some uneasiness.

"Cage." Professor McGonagall began to read the name.

A little boy with gray hair came forward. Seeing that he was very nervous, Professor McGonagall said: "Just put the hat on your head, and it will be fine."

"Hufflepuff," it screamed as soon as it touched the hat.

…

"Ravenclaw"

"Gryffindor"

"Slytherin"

After that, the freshmen were assigned to colleges one after another.

"Astoria Greengrass." Professor McGonagall read her name.

Astoria walked over to the stool and put on the Sorting Hat.

A thin voice sounded in his mind: "Well, with pure blood, I think Slytherin will definitely welcome you. But Hufflepuff is just as suitable for you. You are as pure as a piece of white paper, so Hufflepuff

You may like the strange atmosphere.”

"Can I go to Gryffindor?" Astoria whispered.

"What? My dear little girl, how could you have such an idea?"

"But, well, let me think about it, maybe you need some friends, Gryffindor should be able to help you."

"So, are you sure where you are going?"

Astoria: "..."

This time it seemed a little long, and George was saying that maybe the Sorting Hat was old and accidentally fell asleep.

It elicited a burst of laughter.

"Gryffindor!" the Sorting Hat shouted.

Harry's jaw dropped.

This is something that has never happened before. It cannot be because of my own influence.

Astoria walked towards the Gryffindor table. Harry was sitting in the front row of the second years, next to the first years. She walked over.

After hearing the sound of the sorting hat, the freshmen seemed to have noticed Astoria and cheered to have such a beautiful classmate join her.

Next to Harry was a first-year freshman. Astoria walked straight over. The freshman stammered nervously: "There is an empty seat here." There was a seat to his left that was unoccupied.

Astoria shook her head and said in a nice voice: "I want to sit on your right."

The other freshmen looked at him angrily. He was so lucky, why did he sit with him?

When the freshman heard Astoria's words, he immediately stood up and moved to another position. He was probably already imagining what the two of them would say next.

Astoria happily sat next to Harry and hugged Harry's arm.

He even greeted Hermione happily: "Sister Hermione."

Harry didn't dare to turn around and look at the new student's expression, it was too cruel.

Hermione and Harry were sitting across from each other. She seemed to see the new student's stupid look. She suddenly fell down on the table, her shoulders were shaking, and she kept kicking Harry with her feet.

Dumbledore said some precautions, mainly for new students.

"Our Defense Against the Dark Arts class has a new teacher, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart."

A man sitting next to Snape stood up, smiled and waved.

The girls cheered particularly loudly.

…

After a sumptuous dinner, all grades returned to the dormitory building.

Hermione took Astoria by the hand and took her to the Gryffindor first-year girls' dormitory.

Harry lay quietly on the bed, thinking about what he should do this year.
Chapter completed!
