Sherlock was invited by bureaucrats from the Ministry of Magic, which means that he could not watch the branch ceremony of the first-year freshmen as a second-year senior tonight. Among these first-year freshmen, one of them was his own sister.

At the corner of the stairs, all the freshmen looked at the witch in front of them wearing a light green robe and were a little scared. Ron whispered to Harry about the terrible degree of the branch ceremony, but in fact it was all told by Fred and George.

His words made Hermione sneer, mocking her in her heart for being a pure-blooded wizard family. Ashinsha patiently explained to Harry, "The branch ceremony is just a matter of determining which college is suitable for the first-year freshman, which is not as exaggerated as Ron said."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief because he was really scared when he heard what Ron said.

But then Ashinsha continued to preach, "After all, every year, I have never heard of anyone who dies at the branch ceremony. At most, I have short legs. But Hogwarts' school doctor is very powerful. You can save you no matter if you suffer a serious injury. Therefore, professors often treat freshmen cruelly at the branch ceremony. As long as they don't kill them, they are fine. Anyway, among the freshmen, my brother Sherlock, passed unscathed."

Ashinsha's words frightened Ron, Harry and Neville. Looking at the smile on the corner of Ashinsha's mouth, Hermione next to him shook her head and muttered, "Boy!"

Professor McGonagall briefly introduced the history of the four Hogwarts colleges, and then Ron talked to Harry about the bad things of Slytherin College, but it aroused strong displeasure from Ashinsha and Draco.

Even Hermione next to her couldn't stand Ron's appearance.

"Now, line up," Professor McGonagall told the first-year student, "follow me."

Harry felt like his legs were filled with lead, but strangely, he still stood in the queue, behind Ahsinsha, and behind him was Ron.

They walked out of the room, through the foyer, and passed a double door behind to enter the luxurious dining room.

Students from other classes in the college were already sitting around four long tables, with thousands of candles floating in the air illuminating the restaurant.

Four tables were shining golden plates and goblet glasses.

There is another long table on the table at the top of the restaurant, which is the teachers' seat.

Professor McGonagall brought the first-year freshmen there and lined up with all the senior students in a row.

The candlelight swayed, and hundreds of faces staring at them were like pale lanterns.

The ghosts were also mixed with the students, and there were hazy silver lights.

Ashinsha, who walked in, was at the front, quickly attracted everyone's attention. Her calm and elegant temperament was so conspicuous among a group of trembling newborns.

The dazzling long golden hair and beautiful face also showed outstanding performance in the crowd.

Harry looked at the surrounding environment timidly and felt that he was standing behind a girl like Ashinsha. Especially the former was so calm and composed, which was really embarrassing, but he just couldn't control the tension deep in his heart.

And he also heard students whispering on the long table around him, “It is said that there is Harry Potter this year?”

"Harry Potter? No matter what Harry Potter, Mr. Sherlock's sister is here, and another noble surnamed Mephisto..."

"Is the girl walking in the front? She is like a noble child! In fact, the other person is also noble!"

At the end, Harry's head lowered, and he didn't want others to know that he was the famous Harry Potter. It was a sin to feel that he was too famous for the first time.

The freshmen all walked to the front and stood in a row.

There is a stool on the platform opposite them, and a gray hat full of patches is placed on it.

There was a silence in the restaurant.

Then, the hat twisted. A wide slit was cracked on the edge of the hat, like a mouth - the hat began to sing:

You may think I'm not pretty.

But don't judge people by their appearance.

If you can find a hat that is more beautiful 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 Hogwarts test-for-money.

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 you should be assigned to.

You may belong to Gryffindor, where there is the courage buried in your heart,

Their courage, courage and generous make Gryffindor stand out;

You may belong to Hufflepuff, where the people are honest and loyal,

Hufflepuff students are persevering and honest, and are not afraid of hard labor;

If you are smart, you may enter the wise old Lavenclaw,

Those wise and knowledgeable people will always meet their fellow men there;

Maybe you will join Scattering, maybe you will make sincere friends here,

But those cunning and insidious people will do whatever they can to achieve their goals.

Come and put me on! Don’t be afraid! Don’t panic!

In my hands (even though I don't even have one hand) you are absolutely safe,

There are so many people coming this year.

Mr. Porter, who is not lacking in fame,

There is also the extraordinary and excellent Miss Mephisto,

Ah… Another Mephisto tribe,

The boy I remembered last year, especially

Because I am a magic hat that can be thoughtful!

After the Magic Hat finished singing, the audience applauded thunderously. The Magic Hat bowed to the four dining tables one by one, and then stopped moving.

"It seems that we only need to wear this hat." Harry looked at Ashinsha and murmured to himself. "I must kill Fred, it seems like he is going to fight the giant." Ron waved his hands indignantly.

At this time, Professor McGonagall walked a few steps forward, holding a roll of parchment in his hand.

"Whoever I call my name now will put on a hat and sit on a stool to the Xinhou Branch," she said.

"Hannah Aibo!"

A little girl with a rosy face and two golden braids stumbled out of the queue and put on her hat, which just covered her eyes. She sat down and paused for a moment - "Hurchpuff!" the hat shouted.

"Susan Pence!"

"Hufflepuff!" the hat shouted again. Susan ran to Hannah and sat down.

"Terry Butt!" "Ravenclaw!"

"Hermione Granger!"

Hermione almost ran to the stool and hurriedly put her hat on her head.

"Gryffindor!" shouted the hat. Ron let out a meaningless hum.

At this time, Hat called Malfoy's name. Malfoy walked over like a big shot and got what he wanted immediately. Hat screamed almost as soon as it touched his head, "Slytherin!"

Moon...Not... Parkinson... followed by a pair of Pettier twin sisters... and then Sarian Pokers... Finally, it was finally the turn - "Harry Potter!"

As Harry walked forward, a buzzing whisper suddenly came from the restaurant like a sizzling sound of a small flame.

Harry wore the hat longer than the average person, and then the hat shouted, "Gryffindor."

There were loud cheers and cheers on the long table in Gryffindor, while the other three colleges were quiet. Then, Professor McGonagall read another person's name: "Asinsha Mephisto"

The auditorium first fell into silence, and then some students on Slytherin's table began to whisper. Malfoy turned his head high and said loudly: "Look, the scum in Porter's pure blood is nothing at all. As long as the Mephisto people can come to Slytherin, we must be the best in the academy, even if we already have Mr. Sherlock."

Malfoy looked around but didn't see Sherlock. He felt a little strange, but Dandeny pressed his seat firmly from the back. Rubo, Femia, Kirk and a large group of Slytherin students held their breath and concentrated. Although the whole school believed that Ashinsha would come to Slytherin because her excellent brother was in Slytherin.

The hat was buckled against Ah Xinsha's blonde hair, and a subtle sound came out.

"Ah... Look, another excellent Mephisto, it's very difficult. Last year your brother made me think about it for a while. In the end, I respected his choice and let him go to Slytherin. In fact, the one that suits you best is Slytherin, but I also saw the courage and persistence in your heart. You want to prove to that excellent man. As his sister is also an excellent wizard, so you don't want to continue to be under the wings of your brother, even in Slytherin, you will be carefree."

The branch hat pondered for a moment and finally said loudly, "Gryffindor!"
