Chapter 4
Chapter 4
The boat cannot exceed four people! Hagrid stood on the shore and pointed to a group of small boats in the lake. Kino, Lily, and Snape all boarded a boat.
"Are you all on board? Good, let's go!" At Hagrid's order, a group of small boats cut through the black lake water and moved forward.
As the boat moved forward, the magnificence and magnificence of Hogwarts became more and more obvious, causing everyone to be silent.
"It's beautiful!" Lily murmured to herself, and Snape nodded in agreement.
"The interior of Hogwarts is more beautiful, we can see it later." Keno said while lowering his head to hide from the ivy curtain.
After landing on the shore, Keno and the others followed Hagrid into a tunnel, and finally reached the grass in front of Hogwarts Castle.
Hagrid strode forward and knocked three times on the castle gate.Then a tall, black-haired witch with a serious expression brought Gino and his group of first-year students in, and finally arrived at a small, empty room.
Gino, Lily, and Snape stood side by side, listening to Professor McGonagall's teaching.
After a simple welcome and introduction, Professor McGonagall left the room, leaving behind a group of children who were worried about their fate.As soon as Professor McGonagall left, the surroundings were buzzing.
"Kino, what should I do? I'm so nervous! What if they send me back again?" Lili and Little Loli held onto Jino's hand tightly, their lips trembling slightly because of nervousness.
Gino patted Lily's hand reassuringly, and said, "Don't worry, since you've arrived here, of course they won't send you back, you have to have more confidence in yourself."
Lily nodded with difficulty, but still held Jino's hand very hard.
In desperation, Gino could only rack his brains and find ways to comfort Lily.Just then, a group of ghosts entered the room through the wall, causing a group of timid children to scream loudly.
The arrival of the ghost relieved Lily's nervousness very well, and her grip on Gino was also slightly relaxed.
After a while, the door opened, and Professor McGonagall came in and said, "Now, stand in a single file and follow me."
Following the queue, Gino walked through the foyer and came to a luxurious dining room with double doors.
Candles were floating in the air, the four long tables were already filled with students wearing pointed wizard hats, and the enchanted ceiling faithfully displayed the purple velvet night sky.
The procession stopped in front of the teacher's bench, and a battered, patched and dirty hat stood on a four-legged stool.
The moment to determine the success or failure of the task is coming, and at this moment, Jino's mood is as tense and heavy as other first-year freshmen.
When the task is in progress (4)
After the ugly singing of the Sorting Hat, Professor McGonagall held a list and said loudly, "Whoever's name I read now, come up and put on the hat, waiting for sorting."
Sirius' last name starts with B, so he is the third one.When the Sorting Hat shouted "Gryffindor", both Gryffindor and Slytherin were in a mess. No one could believe that a family whose whole family was Slytherin actually produced a Gryffindor many.
Fortunately, the uproar was quickly suppressed.Lily's surname begins with an E, and she arrived shortly after Blake's incident.Gino watched Lily walk forward nervously, her legs were trembling.
Professor McGonagall put the Sorting Hat over Lily's head, and as soon as the Sorting Hat touched her crimson hair, he yelled, "Gryffindor!"
"It really is Gryffindor!" Kino was originally standing behind Snape, but at this moment he deliberately leaned forward and said in a voice that only Snape could hear, "Lily is such a good girl in Gryffindor!" It must be very popular! No one is watching, but it is easy to be abducted by others."
Snape glared at Kino angrily, but he did not reply with his lips pursed.
"Look over there, a boy is already talking to Lily. Boys nowadays can't walk when they see a beautiful girl." Jino's words are also exaggerated. Lily is beautiful and cute, but she is only 11 years old now. , even if it is popular, it will be a few years later.
However, this sentence was very exciting to Snape. Although Snape felt a little inferior and felt that he was not worthy of Lily, he would never surrender Lily to others.Coupled with the school hostility problem that Gino mentioned earlier, Snape is now very conflicted about whether to go to Slytherin or not.
Noticing Snape's contradictions and wavering, Gino struck while the iron was hot, "If I were you, I would never let Lily fall into the mouth of those lions."
"You don't need to say more." Snape said in a particularly disdainful tone, but the uneasiness and panic hidden in it were still caught by Gino.
"Snape, believe me, entering Slytherin would be the worst decision for you. Don't you still want to raise your wand to slaughter Muggles in the future, and even kill bloody wizards including Lily with your own hands?" Keno said. The voice of speaking became softer and weaker, until it was almost inaudible.But the words "slaughter the Muggles" and "kill the blood wizard" still made Snape shudder.
Because of Tobias Snape, Snape hated Muggles very much, but the word murder was still too heavy for an 11-year-old kid.Seeing Snape clenched his hands into fists, Kino suspected that the next moment he would punch himself in the face.
While Gino was busy brainwashing Snape, the sorting was still going on.Lupine, Pettigrew Peter and Potter were all assigned to Gryffindor smoothly, and Potter even sat next to Lily.
There were only a dozen or so students left, and Kino and Snape both had surnames starting with S, so they were at the back.
"Severus Snape," Professor McGonagall called.
It's the last chance. Before Snape walked forward, Gino said quickly, "Snape, there are two roads ahead of you, Lily or fame and fortune, protection or breakup, everything depends on your choice tonight."
Snape paused in his forward steps, and replied softly, "I know." Then he walked forward firmly.
"Don't let Lily down." The last words were very soft, and Kino didn't know if Snape heard them.
Standing where he was, Gino watched Snape sit on the stool and put on his hat.Then there was silence.
Gino knew that it was the Sorting Hat communicating with Snape, and apparently Snape's inner entanglement also affected the Sorting Hat's decision.
Time also seemed to slow down at this moment. Kino didn't know how long Snape had communicated with the Sorting Hat, but he knew that his palms were sweaty and cold.
Finally, under Gino's enthusiastic gaze, the Sorting Hat twisted a bit, and then opened a wide mouth and shouted, "Gryffindor!"
"Phew." It wasn't Slytherin, and Gino, who only noticed that the word the Sorting Hat shouted was not Slytherin, let out a long breath, and his brain completely emptied because of the sudden relaxation.He didn't even hear Professor McGonagall calling his name.
"Gino Cyril!" Professor McGonagall raised his voice three times, and finally regained Gino's sanity.
After calming down a bit, and ignoring the ring that was hot because of the completion of the task, Jino strode towards the Sorting Hat and sat on the stool. Before the Sorting Hat covered his eyes, he involuntarily looked around the hall, and then He saw a scene that shocked him - Severus should have been assigned to Ravenclaw Snape actually sat next to Lily.
etc!Why did Snape sit next to Lily?Why did Snape sit at the Gryffindor table!
Gino, who was all focused on praying that Snape would not go to Slytherin just now, obviously didn't realize that under his deliberate brainwashing, Snape chose Gryffindor in the end.He thought Snape had been assigned to Ravenclaw!
"Well, it can be seen that you are very smart, talented, and have a strong desire to accomplish your goals. Both Slytherin and Ravenclaw are suitable for you. Where should you go?" A small voice whispered in Keno's ear While talking, Gino, whose mind was full of Snape being sorted to Gryffindor, apparently forgot that he was still wearing the Sorting Hat. "Gryffindor, actually Gryffindor?! How could he go to Gryffindor?"
"Gryffindor, do you like this academy?" The small voice continued, "Yes, you are also very courageous, and you are not afraid of all difficulties and obstacles in order to achieve your goal."
"Gryffindor, Gryffindor!" Gino still couldn't figure it out. Even if the future cellar snake king didn't enter Slytherin, he should go to Ravenclaw.Why at the end of the toss, the poisonous snake was thrown into the lion pile?
"Want to go to Gryffindor? Have you made up your mind? Well, now that you've made up your mind, then..." The small voice disappeared, replaced by a shout that resounded through the hall, "Gran Fendo!"
Unknowingly being sorted to the Lion House, Gino took off his sorting hat in a daze, then walked to the long table that was still cheering in a daze, and finally sat in the middle of Lily and Sirius Black in a daze.
"It's great, the three of us are in the same academy!" Lily said cheerfully, the joy of reuniting with her friends prevented her from noticing Gino's abnormality.
Snape noticed Kino's blankness, but he wouldn't say anything!In Snape's mind, it was best for Gino to stay in this state for the rest of his life, lest he keep courting Lily.
The remaining students were sorted out quickly, and before Principal Dumbledore began to speak, Kino finally accepted the fact that he, Lily, and Snape were all sorted into Gryffindor, and returned to normal.
"Welcome!" Professor Dumbledore said with a smile on his face, "Welcome
