Chapter 49: Pure Blood Glory
“What crisis?”
Qiu Zhang spoke before Ian.
"Of course it is the sorting test."
The cold girl's eyes swept over the three people one by one, "There is a special test in the school that can determine the final destination of each student. ”
"My family told me a few days ago that this is a horrific experience that no one wants to recall." The girl with blond hair looked serious and serious.
"My dad also told me that this will be an unforgettable memory for me. They won't let us fight the dragon, right?" Qiu Zhang's eyes widened in worry.
Opposite.
Aurora raised her head suddenly.
The eyes are a little bright.
Eager to try.
“What do you want to do?”
Qiu Zhang seemed to be startled by Aurora.
"She wants to fight the dragon."
In fact, Ian, who knew what the branch was about, also saw Aurora's expectations at this time. He shook his head and said Aurora lowered her voice and said, "You don't even think about it, how precious the material covered with the dragon is, and the school is reluctant to use it to give out benefits to everyone."
Hear the words.
Aurora's eyes dimmed immediately.
“???????”
“??????”
The two girls sitting opposite looked at each other, and at the same time fell into an incredible feeling status. Are today's peers brave enough to be like this and can't tell the difference between big and small kings?
That's a giant dragon!
"Are you born into a Muggle family?"
After the blond girl came to her senses, she couldn't help but complain.
"What difference does it make?"
Aurora looked at the blonde girl indifferently with her heterochromatic eyes.
"I guess you are."
The blonde girl's voice was also much colder. She looked at Ian and Aurora with a contemptuous look, "Otherwise, I would never be able to say that I want to fight the dragon. "Nonsense."
The girl who was just cold and cold now speaks in a condescending manner.
"It seems that you will be a Slytherin." Aurora was not angry at all.
She just commented lightly.
"Of course, remember my name, Daphne Greengrass, my whole family is Slytherin, and this is the most outstanding house in Hogwarts."
"I will definitely have it in the future. An achievement beyond your reach.”
The blond girl saw Ian taking out a small metal box from the suitcase.
“What are you going to do?”
The girl named Daphne frowned and looked at Ian.
"Go on, don't worry about me at all. I also want to know more about the school. After all, I'm just a Muggle-born orphan." Ian sighed and pressed the machine button.
"It turns out to be a Mudblood."
Daphne's voice became more contemptuous.
"People like you will never be sorted into Slytherin. Only honorable purebloods gather here. Maybe only Hufflepuff will be kind enough to take you in."
< br>Obviously.
She is a pure-blooded person who is not uncommon in the wizarding world.
"Uh... Greengrass, you shouldn't call our classmate that." Qiu Zhang frowned and tried to persuade him, but Daphne was obviously dismissive.
"I'm just telling the truth. I'm not as hypocritical as you. I think they are the same kind as us." Daphne's words became increasingly ugly.
The wand she held even leaned back, as if she didn't want Ian and Aurora to get any light from her. Qiu Zhang's expression also became embarrassed at this time.
“That’s just your own opinion.”
Qiu Zhang also felt angry at Daphne's remarks.
"Well, we are indeed not the same kind."
Aurora has been listening calmly. She turned her head to look at Ian, who was staring at her hands at this time. Wanted to see if she touched the wand.
"You don't need to worry, I'm not intolerant of this situation."
The Germanic girl sighed helplessly.
She felt that her friends might have misunderstood her.
"Then you are better than me."
Ian put the small machine back into the suitcase. Seeing that the light source it could touch was removed by Daphne, he could only take out the He took out his elder wand.
The Black Lake is too dark at night.
“What are you going to do?”
Aurora's reaction was even greater than Ian's, and she grabbed Ian's arm holding the wand. Those strange-colored eyes were filled with a rare hint of nervousness.
"Oh, do you want to duel?"
Daphne also stared at the wand in Ian's hand, but her eyes were full of contempt. Upon seeing this, Qiu Zhang quickly began to persuade the two of them to stay calm.
"I'm not the one who's making fun of myself, and I'm not interested in children's duels." Ian shook his head speechlessly.
He just wanted to brighten up his surroundings.
The little bit of light emitted by Daphne's wand was as small as a sesame bean.
"Luminescent flash!"
As Ian recited the spell.
A sudden burst of light.
The bright white light crushed the surrounding light sources with overwhelming power, like a rising sun, illuminating most of the lake where the surrounding boats were located.
"What's going on over there!?" "Oh my God! What a bright lighting spell!"
"Merlin! I haven't even learned the levitation spell yet!"< br>
......
The sounds of one after another rang out among the boats, and even the leader Hagrid couldn't help but turn around and looked at the boat where Ian and the others were in with great surprise.
"How is that possible! You're just a mudblood!!"
Daphne's eyes were dazzled by the sudden light. She raised her hand to block her eyes and exclaimed in disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible, just practice more." When Ian sat back, he found that Aurora had turned her head towards the outside of the boat at some point.
The light did not flash into her eyes.
“How come you have such powerful magic power!”
Qiu Zhang, who was trying his best to adapt to the bright light, was obviously a little different from ordinary people in his surprise.
She is more concerned about the strength of the spell.
"Of course it's because the Big Four just gave me their baptism."
Ian started talking serious nonsense again.
“……”
Qiu Zhang was speechless.
Daphne, who was sitting next to her, looked ugly, but she did not dare to shout any more provocative words. It is true that she is a pure-blooded person, but she is not a fool who will lose her mind if she gets the upper hand.
"Just a Mudblood who studies secretly! After school starts! I will soon surpass him!" Of course, Daphne's heart was still full of resentment.
The little episode made the atmosphere on the ship a little subtle.
Once you get used to the shining light on Ian's wand, it doesn't feel so dazzling anymore.
Ian and Qiu Zhang still talked from time to time, but compared to Aurora, who was silent and leisurely, and kept looking at the scene in the lake, Daphne simply lived like a year.
“Why haven’t you arrived at school yet!”
In her heartfelt expectation.
The boat finally arrived on the other side of the Black Lake.
“Everyone, follow me!”
Holding the oil lamp, Hagrid continued to lead the way. The gravel-paved path wound up to the gate of the castle. He led a group of young wizards up the stone steps in front of the castle.
“The lighting spell just lit up from their boat.”
“Is it that handsome boy?”
“I think it’s Daphne· Greengrass, my father said she is amazing.”
……
Although Daphne Greengrass was freed from the constraints of the boat, Daphne Greengrass' suffering was obviously still continuing. The comments around her made her want to turn around and go home.
"Professor Snape, why are you here?" Hagrid knocked on the door with his red umbrella, but found that the person waiting inside was not the usual Professor McGonagall.
"Do you think I am not qualified to welcome new students?" The man in black robe with greasy black hair and a hooked nose sneered. His gloomy image made many young wizards afraid to continue whispering to each other.
"Of course not, then, these first-year wizards will leave it to you." Hagrid scratched his head strangely, turned around and left the castle with a confused look on his face.
"If you don't want to carry your things back to your home right now, just shut up and follow me." Snape's eyes stayed on Ian and Aurora for three seconds seconds or so.
immediately.
Just giving orders to the little wizards coldly.
Perhaps Snape's repressive temperament was a bit scary. Snape walked in front, and the little wizards following him could really say that no one dared to speak.
Everyone is very nervous and anxious.
Even Aurora was slightly unnatural - she was still just a little girl after all.
Perhaps only Ian, who knew what the Sorting Ceremony was through J.K. Rowling's drama, had the mood to curiously look at the decoration of Hogwarts' legendary castle.
The traces of time are written everywhere.
It can also be seen that countless students have studied and played here.
The stone walls of the castle were dotted with blazing torches. As they continued deeper into the castle, the heat brought by those torches helped the little wizards dispel the cold on their bodies.
“Crunch~”
As Snape pushed open the door to the Great Hall.
The magnificent auditorium immediately appeared in the eyes of many young wizards. Thousands of candles were suspended in the air, making the entire auditorium as bright as day.
The flags representing the four colleges fluttered slightly in the air. The plates and goblets on the long tables also shone in the bright firelight.
What attracted everyone’s attention the most was the dome of the auditorium. The black velvet-like ceiling was dotted with stars, just like the real sky curtain above the black lake before.
“Very beautiful.”
Aurora stared up at the dome and kept looking.
"Extremely advanced magic has been applied here, so there will be a synchronized picture with the sky outside..." Ian always felt that something was missing at this time.
"Well, I have seen others reading "Hogwarts: A School History"." Okay, it tastes right. The comfortable Ian turned his attention to the high platform in front. Dumbledore, McGonagall, Flitwick...many professors were sitting at the dining table on the high platform to welcome the new students.
For these professors.
Ian was full of curiosity.
However.
What he was most curious about was the pointy wizard hat on the ordinary four-corner stool that looked a bit shabby in appearance and was not noticed by many people nowadays.
The Sorting Hat.
Thousands of years of history.
Witnessed by it.
Many stories... also started from this point.
