Glory To Slytherin

This is a magical, wonderful and magnificent auditorium.

Countless candles stopped in mid-air, shining on the long table full of people around, shining the golden plates and goblet gleaming. The stars are shining on the ceiling, and a strange magic has been applied on it, which can always reflect the sky outside.

On top of the four long tables, there is another long table, which is the seat of the professors.

Ulysses was standing in the last of the line of freshmen facing the professor's seat. Ginny and Luna stood not far in front of him, turning their heads to look at them from time to time.

As for Hermione, she was already a second-year veteran, and she was sitting at the long table in Gryffindor looking around.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she looked towards the entrance of the auditorium.

Ulysses followed her gaze and turned his head, only to see two heads sneaking in, one black and one red sneaking in, guiltyly peeking around, then Ulysses heard the boy with a lightning scar on his forehead Whispered:

"Hey, there's an empty seat on the professor's bench... where is Snape?"

"Maybe he's sick." Ron Weasley, the red-haired next to him, said hopefully.

"Maybe he's gone," Harry was also excited, "because he didn't become a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher again!"

"Maybe he was fired!" Ron said excitedly, "you think, everyone hates him—"

"Perhaps," a cold voice sounded behind them, "he is waiting to hear you two talk about why you didn't take the school bus."

Ulysses couldn't help but laughed and almost laughed. He looked at the owner of the voice without a trace. He was thin, with grayish-yellow skin, a hooked nose, and greasy black hair on his shoulders.

At this moment, there was a cold smile on his face, two hands were placed on the heads of Harry and Ron, and he moved in between them, his low voice was like Devil groaning:

"follow me."

Harry and Ron fought each other and followed him out of the auditorium gate as if they were dead.

After the episode, Professor McGonagall brought a four-corner stool and placed it in front of the freshmen, and then put a top wizard hat on it. The hat was patched, worn out, and looked extremely dirty.

Immediately afterwards, the Sorting Hat began his famous Sorting Song, and Ulysses's mouth twitched slightly. After enduring for a few minutes, the sorting ceremony finally began.

Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, holding a roll of parchment in his hand, and said loudly:

"Now, whoever I call by name puts on a hat and sits on a stool to prepare for sorting. Anderson Alberta!"

A tall boy came out, with unconcealed anticipation on his face. He sat down on the stool, picked up the sorting hat and put a set on his head.

"Gryffindor!" A moment later, the brim of the hat cracked and a voice came from it.

The first long table on the left gave a loud cheer. They clapped vigorously, welcoming the first freshman to enter Gryffindor. Anderson Alberta trot over to do it, and greeted the people at the table enthusiastically.

"Karen Brown!"

Karen is a little girl with some freckles on her face. She happily ran up to put on her hat, and The next moment hat gave the answer——

"Hufflepuff!"

The people at the table on the right cheered and applauded her, much smaller than Gryffindor.

Soon after, the freshmen discovered that the length of the hat branch varies from person to person. Sometimes it blurted out, and other times it took some time to make a decision. For example, a boy named MiG Claire struggled with the sorting hat for a full minute before assigning him to Slytherin.

The moment the hat sounded, the second table on the right suddenly cheered.

"Luna Lovegood!" Professor McGonagall continued to say her name.

Luna, wearing toad glasses, bounced to the front of the Sorting Hat. She picked up the hat and observed it curiously for a few seconds before putting it on her head.

"Ravenclaw!"

I don't know what Luna said to it, the sorting hat's voice sounded a little hurried, as if he wanted Luna to leave quickly.

Ravenclaw's little eagles seemed more reserved. They smiled and applauded gently to express their welcome to the new students.

As the names were called out, there were fewer and fewer people in front of Ulysses. Unsurprisingly, Ginny inherited the Weasley family tradition and was assigned to Gryffindor. Two identical red-haired twins stood up and waved to her. She glared at them and ran to Hermione to sit down. .

"Ulysses Lestrange!"

Professor McGonagall called out the last person's name, with a bit of curiosity in his eyes, and looked at the handsome boy who was walking in front of him.

Someone had noticed Ulysses for a long time, whispering at the long table, and talking louder when he walked out. Not to mention his appearance and temperament, he didn't look like a freshman in the first year.

"Mr. Lestrange was transferred from Boothbarton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France, and will be promoted to the third grade this semester."

Professor McGonagall looked around, the sound of the discussion instantly dropped a few grades where he could see, and then explained aloud.

Ulysses calmly walked to Professor McGonagall, picked up his hat and threw it on his head.

Almost when the brim of the hat touched Ulysses's hair, the sorting hat eagerly shouted:

"Natural Slytherin!"

There was a moment of silence in the auditorium, and then there was warm applause from the silver-green Slytherin table.

Ulysses calmly walked to Slytherin, picked a spot and sat down. This result did not surprise him. He had previously guessed that it was either Ravenclaw or Slytherin, and because of the surname Lestrange, the possibility of Slytherin would be greatly increased.

He did not reject this academy rich in black wizards.

After he sat down, the few Slytherin students next to him seemed a little enthusiastic. After all, they had all heard of the last name Lestrange. Although it has fallen a lot now, they are still one of the 28 pure-blood families.

Draco Malfoy with platinum blonde hair was sitting not far from Ulysses, and he had been staring at Ulysses from the moment the Sorting Hat gave the answer.

He had seen Ulysses’ strength in Diagon Alley. The iron armor curse made him unclear. At this moment, he was thinking secretly about how to make friends. For a while, he forgot to wonder why Harry Potter did not appear. In the auditorium.

There are many foods on the long table: roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steak, roast potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding, pea sprouts, carrots, gravy, tomato sauce, and some unknown reason What a strange reason the peppermint hard candies are placed.

Ulysses cut a piece of beef and put it in his mouth. He raised his head and took a look at the professor's bench, and found that Professor McGonagall and Principal Dumbledore were not on it after the sorting was over.
