Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 148: Fleur Delacour’s Sorting Ceremony



After Gilderoy Lockhart took his seat, the door to the banquet hall opened again, and the first years filed in. Dudley saw Ginny and Luna walking together.Perhaps sensing Dudley's gaze, Luna faced Dudley with a bright smile.

"What is that girl hanging around her neck... a butterbeer cork?" Pansy looked back and forth between Dudley and Luna strangely, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Did she just smile at you? When did you hook up with a little girl in first grade again?"

"She is the first-year student who was sitting in the same box with me just now, and the red-haired girl next to her is Ron's sister." Dudley explained in a low voice, "We just met, there is no way to say that we are hooking up... ...Besides, the word 'again' is too strange..."

Pansy snorted slightly and turned her head away dissatisfied.

At this moment, after the Sorting Hat sang that long and smelly song, the sorting ceremony finally officially began.

As Professor McGonagall called out their names, the freshmen nervously walked to the chair in front of the guest of honor and put on their dirty sorting hats.And every time the Sorting Hat called out the name of a house, the corresponding house burst into cheers and applause.

"Colin Creevey."

A very thin little boy with gray hair walked up to the stage, with the Sorting Hat almost covering his entire head.

"Gryffindor!"

Colin excitedly ran to the Gryffindor table, came to Harry who was applauding enthusiastically, and said something enthusiastically.Although Dudley couldn't hear the specific content due to the distance, judging from Harry's embarrassed expression, he was probably being admired and praised by Colin.

"Ginny Weasley."

Ginny nervously walked onto the stage, and the Gryffindor table below burst into warm cheers and encouragement, led by the Weasley twins.But this didn't seem to relieve Ginny's nervousness. On the contrary, judging from her red face, she seemed a little embarrassed.

"Weasley finally met a girl, but the answer is still the same, Gryffindor!"

Ginny breathed a sigh of relief while the twins and Ron stood up and clapped harder than the other Gryffindors and whistled loudly.This made Ginny cover her face and run down quickly in embarrassment.

"Luna Lovegood."

Luna strode to the chair, but she did not put on the Sorting Hat immediately. Instead, she stared at the inside of the hat with wide eyes, as if she wanted to reach in and take a look.

"Miss Lovegood, please hurry up, everyone is watching you."

After hearing Professor McGonagall's stern words of urging, Luna reluctantly put on the sorting hat, but her strange behavior had already left a deep impression on all the students.

"Hmm... I feel like both eagles and lions are fine... but maybe the desire to explore knowledge is stronger? - Well then, Ravenclaw!"

Luna seemed to want to continue studying the Sorting Hat, but under Professor McGonagall's sharp gaze, she had to put down the hat and walked to the Ravenclaw table. The Ravenclaw students also applauded to welcome this somewhat maverick. new life.

"She seems a little special, doesn't she." Pansy whispered in Dudley's ear unexpectedly, "Or does Dudley just like girls with this style?"

Seeing Pansy's intimate behavior, the surrounding Slytherin students looked at the two of them in disbelief. Dudley once again felt that Pansy this semester had indeed changed a lot from before, and seemed more bold and proactive.

The sorting ceremony gradually came to an end. After the last first-year student took off the sorting hat, the chairs and hats were not removed immediately, but Dumbledore stood up with a kind and kind smile on his face.

"Today I want to announce something to you. Due to friendly exchanges in teaching, after discussions between me and the principal of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, Ms. Olim Maxim, our school will welcome an exchange student this year. !”

The banquet hall immediately buzzed with students talking about this mysterious Beauxbatons exchange student.

"Now, I would like to invite Miss Fleur Delacour, an exchange student from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic!"

Squeak, the door of the banquet hall slowly opened, and a figure that seemed to glow with a faint silver light walked in.

Fleur was wearing a brand-new Hogwarts school uniform robe. Her moon-like skin looked even fairer against the black robe, and her long, light golden hair was tied back casually.

The originally noisy banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and Dudley could clearly hear the intake of breath from everywhere because he was shocked by Fleur's appearance.

Dudley suddenly felt his arm being grabbed tightly. When he looked back, he saw Pansy looking at him with a frown.

"She is the girl I saw in Diagon Alley that day, isn't she? She is indeed a beautiful woman who will captivate the whole country." Pansy said in a low voice, "Living with such a beautiful woman, no wonder I send so many letters during the summer vacation. I haven’t even heard back from you.”

"That's not the case, Pansy. There's a reason why I didn't reply to you." Dudley quickly explained, "It's because I was intercepted... I'll explain it to you later."

"Humph, it turned out that it was just a test, and you started to find reasons. You must have something on your mind." Pansy's cheeks bulged slightly, and she said dissatisfiedly.

Dudley was a little dumbfounded. He originally planned to write a letter to Pansy when he came back, but he changed his mind after seeing Pansy's father's attitude in Diagon Alley. After all, judging from Mr. Parkinson's attitude, he definitely didn't like Dudley. Correspondence with Pansy.

If he borrowed Hedwig or poor Errol, but was intercepted by Pansy's father and killed the owl in a fit of rage, he would be really embarrassed to face Harry and Ron.

Fleur's crisp footsteps echoed in the quiet banquet hall. When she walked to the middle, Fleur seemed to have spotted Dudley and showed a sweet smile in his direction, causing all the male students here to exclaim one after another.

"This is the second girl to smile at you tonight." Pansy looked at Fleur with some hostility, "Dudley, you are too good at provoking girls."

In fact, if Pansy was included, there should be three, but after Dudley felt Pansy's unkind gaze, he decided to stop talking.

Fleur walked to the Sorting Hat's chair with graceful steps. Professor Dumbledore nodded slightly to her: "Miss Delacour, first of all, I have to say that our school uniform is very suitable for you. Although you are just As an exchange student, I think that according to the school’s regulations, you should still decide which college is suitable for you.”

"Please put on the Sorting Hat, he will judge which house is more suitable for you based on your talent and potential."

Fleur sat on the chair and gently put the Sorting Hat on her head. The students in the entire banquet hall looked at Fleur intently, waiting for the result of the Sorting Hat.

"Well, this is the first time I meet a child who is not a newborn...but the talent is still obvious, and it is not difficult to make a judgment..."

"Ravenclaw!"
