Chapter 262：

Sitting at the long Slytherin table, Daphne sat on John's right side.

His left side was vacant, and no one sat down.

Malfoy looked at that location, his eyes darkened.

Daphne too, they didn't say anything.

As students entered the room, the table became more crowded.

Bloody Barrow floated over and said in a deep voice, "I've heard it all. If he is in Hogwarts, he must be a Slytherin."

"Thank you." John responded in a low voice.

Bloody Barrow nodded and floated to the other side.

After a while, everyone was basically here.

In the past, Harry, who was in need of sorting ceremonies, was never late.

The woman who had taken Hagrid's place at Hogsmeade Station walked in. She walked straight to the seat that originally belonged to Hagrid and sat down.

The unlucky first-year student was led in by Professor McGonagall in shock, and the long line stopped.

Professor McGonagall brought out the Sorting Hat and the stool. The Sorting Hat still looked sloppy and dirty.

It seems that the Weasley twins’ idea of ​​cleaning the Sorting Hat during their time at school cannot be realized.

Under the gaze of everyone, the Sorting Hat began to sing:

"A long time ago I had a new hat,

Hogwarts had not yet been built at that time.

…

Slytherin recruits wizards like himself,

"Cunning and scheming, with pure blood..."

When John heard this, his eyes narrowed. The Sorting Hat seemed to want to reveal different information.

The Sorting Hat over there is still singing.

"There was a time,

The school was about to die.

Countless noises, countless fights,

Former good friends turned against each other.

Then finally one morning,

The old Slytherin suddenly ran away.

Although the dispute had subsided by then,

"He still discourages us..."

As if to warn of something, the Sorting Hat sang louder and louder.

It reminds the Slytherin students to focus on it.

"The enemies outside the school are watching.

We must be closely united internally,

Otherwise everything will fall apart from within.

I have told you plainly,

I have sounded the alarm for you...

Now let's start sorting. "

After singing, John heard the sound of Malfoy's fist hitting the table.

"What does it mean? Does it imply that Slytherin has failed Hogwarts?" Malfoy said gloomily, "Or does it mean that we will split?"

Daphne also looked bad, or in other words, the students who understood the lyrics noticed something was wrong.

John glanced at the Sorting Hat. This ancient alchemical object seemed to be mentioning something.

Is it a warning to unite as one?

Voldemort's return, or does it refer to something else?

John narrowed his eyes and rubbed the ring with his fingers.

…

Chapter 287 Hermione’s Discovery and Ten Seconds

After singing the song, the sorting began.

John noticed that some people's suppressed excitement came out.

He looked over and smiled.

They are children from the werewolf community, Severn and Ais.

They are both adopted children by old Jack, and they are the same age.

They have suffered a lot since childhood and want to remember everything well.

Wait until you get home and tell the youngest Tyro.

Little Jack entered school last year and is now also a second-year Hufflepuff student.

He watched his younger brothers enroll in school and spoke excitedly to his friends around him.

In addition to the two people, there is also a little werewolf adopted by a Muggle wizard couple.

"Werewolf enrollment has gradually become a major trend." John rubbed the ring and pondered.

When students can walk on campus with werewolves' appearance during the full moon, then werewolves will completely return to the ranks of wizards.

John has also studied this aspect.

Werewolves are similar to the blood curse, a curse that continues, but it is not through reproduction. Children born from werewolves are not werewolves. If they are hurt by a werewolf, they will turn into werewolves. This is the most feared thing in the magic world.

"The blood curse needs to be solved from the root."

He cannot dream of turning every werewolf back into an ordinary person, but he can research an inhibitor to suppress the infectious curse of werewolves.

In this way, even if the werewolf loses control, with the wizard's ability, as long as he is not afraid of being bitten, it can be said to be okay.

After all, as a wizard, Neville was once thrown from a building by his relatives just to confirm whether he was a squib.

Some fatal injuries can be treated.

The atmosphere in Slytherin is not wonderful, which makes the students assigned to Slytherin a little frightened.

After they sat down, they cast curious glances at the legendary John Wick.

John's reputation has been spread to wizarding families by word of mouth from various students. Many people know that there is a gifted student in Hogwarts.

But this reputation is limited to those areas, and the higher levels have not yet been reached.

"Welcome to our new students," Dumbledore's voice sounded, bringing John back from thinking about inhibitors.

Dumbledore opened his arms and showed a bright smile, "Welcome! Welcome to our old students, welcome back! There is plenty of time for speeches, but not now. Eat to your heart's content!"

As always, it was short and student-friendly, and various delicacies appeared on the table.

John looked at the Starry Sky Faction appearing in front of him and silently pushed it in front of Malfoy.

He casually picked up a piece of bread and ate it.

Malfoy saw that something was wrong with Crabbe and Goyle, and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"

At this time in the past, the two of them had already immersed themselves in the hard work.

Not like now, sitting there solemnly.

The two people looked at each other, still holding the **** glass tightly in their hands, and the little snake inside screamed.

"Your new pet?" Malfoy said dissatisfied, "Show me."

In the past, the two people had nothing to say to each other, but now, they hold each other and refuse to let go.

This made Malfoy a little angry, so Pansy threw a big, hard potato into his plate to shut him up.

Malfoy was confused, feeling like he was being targeted?

I didn’t see it clearly, take a closer look.

John said, "Draco, take them to the Star Club later."

"Huh?" Malfoy frowned. The Stars Club never went to others. He noticed something was wrong, threw the potatoes back to Pansy and said, "Okay."

During the holidays, his father Lucius brought back Voldemort, which made him very miserable.

Narcissa restricted Malfoy's freedom, fearing that Malfoy would act impulsively against Voldemort.

Malfoy had resentment towards his father, and he was actually with that man.

During the dinner, Crabbe and Goyle were both cautious, taking small bites and savoring the food as if they had no chance to eat it again.

…

Hermione is a smart witch, and a lot of information is revealed in the Sorting Hat's new song.

There seems to be an atmosphere of approaching storm.

Looking at Ron who was eating carelessly, she was very angry.

She asked Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor House, who was almost headless: "What do you want to say before the sorting? About the warning about the hat?"

"Oh, yes," Nico said, "Yes, I have heard the warnings given by the Sorting Hat several times before. It always gives advice when the school is in danger. Of course, the advice is the same every time, unity. Be consistent and maintain internal stability.”

Ron's mouth was full of food and he was mumbling something, but Nick didn't hear it clearly.

After eating the food, Ron said, "It's just a hat. How could it know that the school is in danger?"

"I don't know," Nick said quietly as he approached the three little cats. "It always stays in Dumbledore's office. Maybe it heard something."

"It hopes that all four houses will become friends?" Harry looked towards Slytherin and said, "This is very unlikely."

He felt that the Sorting Hat must be an old fool and actually wanted to be friends with the four houses.

The Slytherin group will not take the other three houses seriously.

Nick has a different view. The ghosts in their four courtyards are very harmonious.

Ron mocked: "That's because you are afraid of Bloody Barrow."

Nick was so angry that he wanted to stuff potatoes into his mouth.

"I, Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington, have never made a mistake of cowardice in my life! Noble blood flows in my veins."

"What kind of blood?" Ron was a born argument machine, "You definitely won't have any more."

Nick was extremely angry. Although he joked about his own death, it didn't mean that others could insult him in this way.

"Nick, he didn't really mean to laugh at you," Hermione said, glaring at Ron angrily.

How rude!

Nick walked away angrily.

But Hermione heard something about the Fourth House and the current crisis.

"It's because of Voldemort," Harry vowed. "It wants us to unite to fight."

"That's what I thought too." Hermione was a little distracted.

She looked at Slytherin, why did she focus on Salazar Slytherin's departure?

The King of Slytherin, the man who gathers the scattered sand into green glass.

John seems to have a conflict with Dumbledore.

"It's like Slytherin and Gryffindor.
