Chapter 568 The Sorting Hat's New Song (Today Is World Intellectual Property Day, Please Support the Genuine Version)

Not to mention the little thoughts that Fish was thinking, not long after the students of Hogwarts took their seats, the door to the hall opened, and Professor McGonagall led the new students of this year in from outside.

Every year, the new students were frightened by the lie of "entrance test", and this year was no exception, so most of them looked frightened and followed Professor McGonagall tremblingly.

Professor McGonagall, like in previous years, walked to the front of the long table in the classroom with a stool, a sorting hat, and a list of new students in her hands.

The buzzing conversation in the hall gradually subsided. The first-year students lined up in front of the staff table, facing the students of other grades. Professor McGonagall carefully placed the stool in front of them, put the sorting hat on the stool, and then stepped back.

Then, the crack beside the brim of the hat opened like a mouth. The Sorting Hat sang loudly...

In previous years, the Sorting Hat's song, although the lyrics would change, the overall meaning was the same - introducing the four major colleges of Hogwarts, the different qualities they valued, and the Sorting Hat's own task of sorting students, and boasting about itself.

But this year's Sorting Hat's song has changed a lot. It not only describes the establishment and division of Hogwarts, but also warns the students that they need to unite.

Obviously, it is not a common thing for the Sorting Hat to issue a warning. When it closed its mouth, the little wizards below immediately began to whisper to each other.

Professor McGonagall looked at the whispering people with a stern look, and quickly suppressed the noise in the hall. Then she unfolded the parchment in her hand and loudly announced the first name.

"Euan Abercrombie!"

As the freshmen went up to put on the Sorting Hat one by one, several plates of hot food suddenly appeared on the table in front of Fish, just like before.

However, this time, Fish did not immediately start eating at the table like in previous years. He looked around and found that there was nothing in front of other people. Maomao suddenly felt that it was a bit unfair for him to eat first.

But...

Fish looked at the meat buns, ham, meatballs, steak and fish soup in front of him, and sniffed the aroma they exuded...

(Φ﹃Φ)

(`ω≡`ω)

After staring at the food in front of him for a long time, Fish shook his head with great willpower, and then whispered Comey's name.

"Comy, take these things away quickly, meow!"

Fish buried his head in Hermione's arms, not looking at or smelling the food.

Hermione's cheeks flushed as she was hugged tightly by the cat. When she saw the food on the table disappear, she immediately patted Fersh's back and said anxiously, "Fersh, it's OK, the food has been removed."

"Meow?"

|ω)

Fersh poked his head out of Hermione's arms and sat up again after confirming that the food had been taken away.

Although she was a little shy and embarrassed by the cat, Hermione was still very happy, because Fersh's behavior just now was obviously taking care of other people's thoughts...

Even if Fersh himself might not know why he did this.

The sorting ceremony was still going on, and the long line of first-year freshmen was shortening little by little.

The cat touched her rumbling stomach and regretted it a little, but now she asked Comey to bring the food back... Fersh couldn't do it now.

So he could only continue to suffer pitifully.

And Hermione also found that Fersh was in a low mood. She quietly held Fersh's hand and squeezed it hard, as if to cheer the cat up.

With the support of his girlfriend, Firth finally made it to the end of the Sorting Ceremony, and then Dumbledore stood up.

"Welcome our freshmen," Dumbledore said loudly, with his arms open and a bright smile on his face, "Welcome! Welcome our seniors - welcome back!"

Fortunately, Dumbledore was not the traditional leader who liked to give long speeches. He quickly said, "There is plenty of time for speeches, but not now. Eat happily!"

There was a burst of appreciative laughter and warm applause in the hall. The house elves served enough delicious food to the five long tables, and the food in front of Firth was piled up like a small mountain.

"Ah-ho--!"

Ψ(≧≦)卩

The cat raised its knife and fork high, cheered, and then quickly stuffed the food in front of it into its mouth in a fast but elegant way.

Others were no better than Firth, and they all started to eat voraciously... Everyone was already starving.

After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, they had some free time to talk to each other. They mainly talked about the lyrics of the Sorting Hat. As more and more people chatted, the hall gradually became noisy.

At this time, Dumbledore stood up again. The voices stopped immediately, and everyone turned to the headmaster.

"Well, since we are digesting another extremely rich meal, I ask everyone to be quiet for a while and listen to me talk about the precautions for the new semester as usual." Dumbledore said.

As he said himself, what he said afterwards was not much different from previous years - no going to the Forbidden Forest, Filch's many rules, introducing new professors, etc...

But when Dumbledore talked about the selection of the college Quidditch team, his speech was suddenly interrupted.

Umbridge from the Ministry of Magic, who was also this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, stood up from her seat.

Dumbledore only looked surprised for a moment, and then he sat down smartly and looked at Professor Umbridge intently, as if he couldn't wait to hear her speak.

The other professors were not as good at cultivating Qi as Mr. Principal, and they all showed more or less dissatisfied looks... except for Professor Snape.

But Umbridge seemed not to see the dissatisfaction on the other professors' faces, and said in her high, sharp, breathy, little girl-like voice: "Well, I must say, yes It's great to be back at Hogwarts!"

Not only did her voice sound artificial and uncomfortable, but the content of her words was also very offensive.

"It's so great to see those cheerful little faces looking up at me! I'm eager to get to know you all soon, and I'm sure we'll become very good friends!"

Everyone was very unhappy because they felt that Umbridge was treating them like a five-year-old child.

After offending all the professors and students at Hogwarts with just a few words, Umbridge cleared her throat again.

"The Ministry of Magic has always believed that educating young wizards is a very important matter..."

This time, her voice seemed much more serious, but it sounded dry, like Professor Binns talking about his history of magic.

So soon, the little wizards below began to lose focus. Except for a few students who persisted, most students began to whisper among themselves or do their own things.

Fish leaned forward, put his head directly on Hermione's lap, and fell asleep.

_(3　∠)_

Professor Umbridge didn't seem to notice the restlessness of the audience. She continued to speak slowly, not caring about the attitudes of others.

I don't know how long it took, but her speech finally ended. Dumbledore took the lead in applauding, regaining the attention of the students who had already deserted.

"Meow!"

∑(Φ﹃Φ)

The sleeping Maomao was also awakened by the applause. He looked around drowsily, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and asked: "Is it over, Meow?"

"It's just that Professor Umbridge's speech is over," Hermione shrugged and said, "And even if we are disbanded, we still have to lead the way for the first-year students."

"The Ministry of Magic is indeed a bad place. Fish doesn't like this new professor, Meow."

(ω)

Fish didn't mind guiding the new students, but Umbridge's boring speech made Maomao feel quite disgusted... He wasn't in class, so why did he talk so much!

Fortunately, Dumbledore didn't have the same bad habits as her. After he quickly outlined the general arrangements for the new semester, he announced the disbandment.

Everyone stood up and prepared to leave the auditorium.

"First-year students!" Hermione stood up as quickly as possible and shouted to the freshmen sitting behind the table: "Please go this way!"

Her majestic look was quite a bit like Professor McGonagall's.

After the two brought the freshmen back to the Gryffindor dormitory, Fish kissed Hermione on the cheek and said, "Go back and rest quickly."

(つΦ3Φ)つ

Maomao didn't plan to take Hermione on a night out tonight, because he knew Hermione's energy couldn't compare with his. She had been tired for a day and needed a good rest.

Similarly, Fish had no intention of disturbing Professor McGonagall tonight. He just wanted to take a walk around the school out of habit.

After watching Hermione enter the girls' dormitory, Fish turned into a cat, got out of the portrait hole, and wandered around the school.
