The Thestral carriage walked all the way to the castle. Hermione suddenly mentioned something on the way:"Did you notice that Hagrid didn't seem to come to welcome the new students this year?"

Luna blinked and guessed:"I remember His course evaluation last year was not very good. Maybe he received too many complaints and Principal Dumbledore fired him, right? Maybe Dumbledore chose to let Professor Grapeland take over his course. After all, Professor Grapeland last semester I have already taken Hagrid’s class, and everyone’s reviews are good."

"This is impossible!"Harry next door yelled again. He glared at Luna and said with certainty,"Professor Dumbledore will never fire Hagrid!"

"Hagrid's classes are actually quite interesting and we all like him. Right?"Harry looked around, as if looking for supporters.

But everyone turned their heads in tacit agreement, and no one responded to him.

"Oh, is it so? How many snails do you plan to raise this semester?"Luna threw out a sentence lightly.

Harry was speechless, and the expression on his face became embarrassed.

He recalled all the chaos and thrills he had when raising snails last school year, and the scene of being chased by a group of snails. In his eyes.

He hesitated and said:"Well, that...maybe I won't keep it anymore."

Hermione also looked worried, but she was not worried that Hagrid would be caught in Azkaban for privately raising and transforming dangerous creatures, because if this happened, Onyxia would definitely be with her. They said that.

While everyone was talking about it, Levine revealed the final answer:"Actually, Hagrid didn't come to welcome the new students, probably because he needed to visit his giant brother in the reserve occasionally."

"giant?"Luna's silver eyes suddenly widened.

"younger brother?"Hermione also felt a little unbelievable.

"Giant brother. Levin nodded and said firmly,"Remember those giants I brought back during the summer vacation?""

"Oh, I remember it so well!"Zhang Qiu showed a lingering fear,"I was woken up by the deafening voices in the middle of the night, and then when I opened my eyes, I saw a lot of giants in my yard. I thought I was having a nightmare."

"That's mainly because the Ural Mountains are too far away from the Yin Kingdom. Levin scratched his head in embarrassment,"Don't I need to make a layover?""

Compared with the [Portal] that spans space, the [Mansion Spell] that anchors the demiplane is more efficient in mana.

First use the [Mansion Spell] to send the giants into your home, and then transport them from Devon where the tower is located. It is indeed much easier to send them to the Isle of Man than to send so many big guys directly to the Isle of Man across four thousand kilometers.

He paused and continued:"Anyway, among those giants, one of them is Hagrid." half brother"

"Hagrid actually has a giant half-brother!"

This news was like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the carriage, but it did explain why Hagrid was not in Hogwarts. The

Thestral carriage slowly drove into Hogwarts and finally stopped in front of the castle.

Harry jumped down from the carriage eagerly, nodded to them hastily, then turned and ran towards the hall, eager to go to Ron to share what he had just seen and heard.

In the hall, the flames of the torches flickered and jumped. The entire space was illuminated red, and the students' footsteps echoed in the empty foyer, accompanied by occasional whispers.

They walked across the stone-paved floor and walked toward the two doors leading to the auditorium on the right, where the opening banquet was held. It was held there.

In the auditorium, four long academic tables were neatly arranged.

Above the tables, slender candles floated in the air, emitting a soft light. It seemed like stars, matching the magic ceiling covered with cumulonimbus clouds. They matched each other.

After entering the hall, Levin separated from Hermione and Ginny.

He, Zhang Qiu and Luna came to the long table of Ravenclaw, and the eaglets set aside the place where he used to sit for them. Seat.

After taking his seat, Levin's attention turned to the staff seat. He saw Dolores Umbridge sitting next to Dumbledore. She looked like a senior girl, short and tall. She is fat, has short curly taupe hair, and wears a very ugly big pink bow on it, which matches the fluffy pink cardigan she wears outside her robe. It all looks a bit nondescript.

Dumble Professor Lido was wearing a dark purple robe studded with silver stars and a matching hat, sitting on a golden high-backed chair. He tilted his head slightly, listening to Professor Umbridge's whisper, with a hint of poise on his face. There was a faint smile.

They were obviously very annoyed with each other, but they put on a harmonious look. People who didn't know it thought they had such a good relationship.

When Professor Grapplan sat down where Hagrid usually sat When he sat on the huge wooden chair, Levin's eyes turned to the direction of the foyer.

Since Professor Graplan appeared, it means that the first-year students must have crossed the Black Lake and arrived at the castle.

Sure enough, in a few seconds, Finally, the heavy wooden door leading to the hall slowly opened, and with the creaking sound of the door shaft, a group of first-year students who looked frightened entered the auditorium under the guidance of Professor McGonagall. The top of Professor McGonagall's hand There was a simple wooden stool, and on the stool was a worn-out wizard's hat.

The hat had gone through many vicissitudes of time, and was patched and patched, and the edges were frayed. A wide crack next to the brim seemed to tell the story of its long history. As it continued With the arrival of the new students, the buzzing chatter in the auditorium gradually subsided and finally became quiet.

All eyes were focused on this group of freshmen. They lined up neatly in front of the staff table, facing students from other grades.

Professor McGonagall carefully placed the stool in front of the freshmen, and then stepped aside.

Under the candlelight, the faces of the first-year freshmen looked particularly pale.

Most of them pursed their lips nervously, Gabe Li seemed very calm, but her clenched fists revealed her inner nervousness.

The members of the Genius Club all abided by the traditions of the wizarding world tacitly, and no one revealed to Gabrielle what the Sorting Hat was. Branched.

While waiting outside the auditorium, Gabrielle heard a lot of rumors among the young wizards: those young wizards who were about to be sorted were speculating on what kind of mysterious test they were about to face. All kinds of unreliable ideas passed between them, getting more and more bizarre, making Gabrielle feel even more uneasy.

At this moment, the old hat placed on the stool suddenly opened its mouth and began to sing its newly composed song.

The Sorting Hat's song is different every semester. Both the lyrics and the melody are the same every year. The only thing they have in common is that they are equally unpleasant.

However, this year’s song is extraordinarily different. It sings:

"……The lessons of history give us a warning that our Hogwarts is in danger, and enemies outside the school are eyeing it. We have to be united internally or everything will fall apart from within…`…"

In short, the general idea is that Gryffindor and Slytherin are half-brothers, and their friendship is stronger than gold.

Or, Ravenclaw, her two useless men, and the foodie good sisters Hufflepuff create a great wizarding school together.

Then the topic changed and it told everyone how the four giants had differences and left Hogwarts one after another.

Finally, the Sorting Hat also told a story about how one wand is easy to break, but ten wands keep breaking.

——But Levin felt that if Hagrid was here, the Sorting Hat would never dare to say such a thing.

If it were the kind of wooden wand made by Ollivander, let alone ten, even if there were one or two more, Hagrid would be able to break it.

Of course, it would be another story to switch to the fairy silver wand made by Levin.

In short, the Sorting Hat's intention is good, probably that everyone can unite as one and achieve an unbreakable friendship. Only in this way can Hogwarts overcome all difficulties and continue to stand firm.

When the Sorting Hat finished singing his newly composed song, the auditorium suddenly burst into applause against his will. No one wanted to hear his ugly song again.

Different from usual, this time the applause was mixed with many whispers, and many people showed surprised expressions like Levine - usually, the Sorting Hat's song mainly describes the qualities valued by the four houses of Hogwarts. And its task of sorting students into different schools, but this time, it gave the school unprecedented advice.

But when Professor McGonagall began to announce the list of first-year students, everyone's attention was immediately attracted, and the buzz in the auditorium suddenly disappeared.

Everyone listened attentively, for fear of missing any name.

As the lists were announced one by one, the long team of first-year freshmen was gradually shortened. All four colleges had accepted freshmen one after another. Only at the very back did Levin hear Professor McGonagall shout out Gabri's name. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Gabrielle walked forward with a very steady pace, no nervous or panic expression on her face

".Look, everyone, this is Beauxbatons Fleur's sister, she also came with her last semester."Levan introduced to the Ravenclaw classmates,"She liked it here very much, so she transferred from Beauxbatons to Hogwarts this year."

Gabriel was already sitting on the stool. She took a deep breath and put the Sorting Hat on her head.

Unlike the previous little wizards who were quickly determined by the Sorting Hat, this time the Sorting Hat seemed to be stuck in After a long period of contemplation, Gabrielle seemed to be exploring something in her mind.

After a long time, the slit beside the brim of the Sorting Hat slowly opened, and she loudly announced:"Slytherin!"

This announcement immediately caused a sensation in the auditorium. The Slytherins headed by Malfoy burst into enthusiastic cheers and applause.

However, Gabrielle did not seem to be too satisfied with the result. She dragged her heavy She walked reluctantly towards the Slytherins' table. On the way, she kept looking pitifully at Levin, who was sitting at the Ravenclaw table.
