Chapter 05: Chapter 5 The Tangled Sorting Hat

Chris's words caught the attention of the boy next to him, and he looked at Sean.

She was obviously a pretty little girl, but Sean always felt a sense of incongruity.

"Hi, my name is Sean Grylls." Sean said to the handsome boy over here.

"Cedric Diggory." The boy nodded and introduced himself.

"Fuck, it turned out to be Cedric, the best student in this year, except me of course." While Sean was in shock, Chris also introduced herself to Cedric.

"Chris Crouch, my grandfather is Barty Crouch, Director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department."

"I didn't run away, your uncle is a Death Eater, and I don't know if you have been affected." Sean murmured to himself.

At this time, a girl with a black ponytail came to the door of the box. She looked at the three and asked.

"Are there any vacancies here?"

"Yes, that is." Sean pointed to the empty seat next to Chris.

"Thank you, my name is Angelina Johnson."

"Sean Grylls."

"Chris Crouch."

"Cedric Diggory."

The three each reported their names.

"Wait, you're that Sean Grylls?" Angelina stared at Sean in surprise.

Sean nodded helplessly. He had seen this kind of scene too many times. Wait a minute, her name is Angelina Johnson, so that's Fred's girlfriend.

In this box, Cedric belongs to Hufflepuff, and Angelina belongs to Gryffindor. Chris is not sure, but judging from his pure-blood family background, it is likely that he will be assigned to Slytherin. Sean couldn't think of which college he would be assigned to.

The train traveled through the vast forests and grasslands for more than six hours, and it didn't stop at Hogsmeade's station until evening. The fifth-year prefects got off the train first and stood at the train gate to maintain order.

"First-year freshmen come here." A loud voice attracted the eyes of the freshmen.

It was a giant close to three meters. Of course, Sean knew that Hagrid was just a half-breed giant, and the real giant was taller than him.

"God, he's too big." Angelina exclaimed.

Sean looked at her indifferently, as if she was driving, and Hagrid was carrying a lantern, using the light to shine on the first-year students.

"Where's Sean Grylls?" Hagrid asked.

"I'm here." Sean leaned his neck back and responded to Hagrid with difficulty.

"You're much taller than Harry," Hagrid whispered.

Sean is considered to be above average height among his peers, with fluffy brown curly hair, which seems to make him appear taller.

"Follow me first graders." Hagrid led the freshmen towards a path by the lake.

Hogsmeade Station is built on the edge of Hogsmeade Village, and the path goes to Hogwarts, and the other side goes to the village.

The way to go to Hogwarts this time is by boat. Sean wondered if it would be in a Thestral carriage. The four freshmen took a boat. The boat was enchanted and automatically headed towards Hogwarts. Heading in the direction of Ci.

Most of the freshmen came here in amazement, but the freshmen who were born in pure-blood wizard families were much calmer.

Looking at the majestic castle in front of him, even though Sean had seen it in movies before, he was still shocked by its magnificence after seeing it with his own eyes.

"After the first graders go ashore, walk along the stairs, and Professor McGonagall has something to tell you in front of the auditorium," Hagrid said.

"Sean, which college do you think you will be assigned to?" Chris asked suddenly.

"Smart ghosts must be assigned to Ravenclaw." At this time, the twins of the Wei family came up from behind.

"This conspicuous red hair, you are from the Weasley family." Chris recognized the origin of the Wei family twins at a glance.

"Hey, Cedric, it would be great if you could get Gryffindor." The Wei family twins said.

The Wei family twins seem to know Cedric. Sean thought for a while, yes, they seem to live near the same mountain, one in the east and the other in the west.

"It's not up to me," Cedric said.

Professor McGonagall was already waiting at the end of the stairs. When all the freshmen arrived, Professor McGonagall clapped their hands.

Sean closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the newborns around him were covered with a layer of hazy white light, and Professor McGonagall was the brightest light among wizards he had seen so far.

"Welcome to Hogwarts. Well, you will pass through these doors in a while and gather with other students. However, you must be sorted before you can be seated."

"The four houses of Hogwarts, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. At the end of the year, whichever house has the highest score will win the house cup."

"Then, students are all ready, follow me." Professor McGonagall turned and walked towards the auditorium.

The dark golden auditorium door automatically opened for the new students, and the bright candlelight in the auditorium welcomed the fresh blood of Hogwarts as they walked in.

Four rows of long tables were neatly arranged in the auditorium, and students from four colleges were sitting there. Sean roughly estimated that there were more than four hundred people, and there were sixty freshmen in their class. good.

Sean stood in the front row, looking at the Sorting Hat on the stage, feeling a little uneasy, so that he didn't listen to Dumbledore's speech. On the professor's bench, a long-haired man with gloomy eyes was looking at Sean.

Sean could feel the man's gaze, and looked up. It was Severus Snape sitting on the left side of the professor's chair. Why did Sean recognize Snape at a glance? Who else in Hogwarts His unique cold temperament? Although Sean knew he was a good guy, the Infernal Affairs of the Death Eaters.

"My God, why does he see me? I'm not Harry, and I don't have Lily's eyes." Sean muttered to himself.

"Okay, the ones who report their names will come up, I will put the sorting hat on your head, and then the sorting hat will decide which college you want to go to."

"Sean Grylls."

"Shit, did you make a mistake, I was the first? It's ruthless." Sean cursed inwardly, but walked up with a smile on his face.

Isn't it ranked by last name? The first person called turned out to be Sean. He couldn't figure out what sort of order it was.

He sat on the low stool, and Professor McGonagall put the sorting hat on Sean's head, and at this moment the sorting hat started to move.

"It's very difficult, very difficult. You are brave, smart, hardworking, shrewd and ambitious. It seems that all four colleges are suitable for you. Where should you be assigned?"

"Whatever, it's fine if it's not Azkaban." Sean muttered in a low voice. With the help of his magic eyes, it doesn't matter which academy he goes to, he can study very well.

"Azkaban, your thoughts are very dangerous."

"Okay, just don't go to Slytherin." Sean turned his head to look at Snape who was sitting on the professor's chair.

"Then, it's decided, you can go to Slytherin." The Sorting Hat seemed to have deliberately made the opposite decision with Sean.

Sean was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, some Slytherin seniors looked at him as if they were his own.

Although some people's eyes seemed unfriendly, Sean was helpless.

"I suspect you're targeting me." Sean took off the sorting hat and glared at it viciously.
