Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 11 The Sorting Hat's Difficult Decision
Moon had never worn such a dirty and tattered hat. Even when sleeping under a bridge, he felt that the hats of homeless people on the street should be much cleaner than the one on his head.

Just as he was enduring the rotten smell coming from the hat on his head, a voice suddenly sounded in Moon's ears.

"Well, you're really weird~"

Moon glanced to both sides, and everyone was staring at him. He found that it seemed that only he could hear the voice.

"The one just now was just a choice between Slytherin and Gryffindor, but what about you?"

"I can see you're very courageous. You're brave enough to work on your own and even eat for free. That's quite remarkable."

"He's also very capable. He's able to look after such a large forest, and he's also very honest."

"He's quite ambitious, wanting to learn all the magic."

"Well, kid, it seems you can do anything except Ravenclaw. That's really difficult."

Moon felt that the hat on his head seemed to judge the house classification based on what he had done in the past, but his little ambition was hidden deep in his heart and would be discovered somehow.

Moon didn't let the Sorting Hat wait too long. When he knew that he was suitable for three houses, he made a decisive choice.

"Then~Gryffindor."

Moon didn't know what was happening in other colleges, but at the Gryffindor table, he had received several concerned looks from people, as well as his hands, where the blades had disappeared.

"That's right, that's it. Choice is sometimes more important than anything else, kid!"

The Sorting Hat gave Moon an encouraging answer, and then announced loudly in the auditorium.

"Then~Gryffindor!"

Moon also received cheers and applause. Although he didn't know most of the people at the long table, he felt like he had found a kindred spirit.

"Come and sit here. I knew you would join me."

Harry waved to him, Moon smiled and thanked him, then sat next to him.

"Where have you been just now? We couldn't wait for you on the boat, so we had to give up..."

Harry said this while looking at Hermione who was sitting opposite him. To be honest, he didn't have much of a good impression of this arrogant little girl.

"Hagrid and I just had a talk, and then I got on Malfoy's ship."

After hearing this, Harry turned to look at Malfoy who was sitting at the Slytherin table.

"You didn't have a conflict, did you? I mean, Ron's rats scared them just now."

After hearing what Harry said, Moon finally understood why Malfoy misunderstood him. It turned out that they were the ones fighting in the carriage.

"Conflict, of course not."

While Moon was talking to Harry, the Sorting Hat had already sorted Ron into Gryffindor, and he sat on Harry's other side.

The last student was sorted into Slytherin, and then Professor McGonagall left with the Sorting Hat.

At this time, Dumbledore stood up. Looking at the happy smile on his wrinkled face, it was clear that he was very happy.

"Welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start the new school year. Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words."

Moon's hands were controlling Bongbong at this time, because the silverware on the dining table was so shiny that it was simply tempting Bongbong to commit a crime.

Hearing that Dumbledore was going to speak, Moon hoped that the speech would not be too long. As long as the banquet began, jumping around in the chaos would not attract so much attention.

"That is: idiot, scum, crybaby, and screwed. Thank you all!"

This was the most beautiful thing Moon had heard tonight, but he couldn't applaud.

But no one noticed him because there were already all kinds of delicious food on the table.

Moon had never seen so much food before. Even the zoo's staff cafeteria would not prepare so much at once, especially some of the meat, which looked very appetizing.

While Moon was distracted, Pengpeng had already crawled out of his pocket. He first jumped onto the dining table and set his eyes on a silver fork next to Moon. He quickly crawled over and put the silver fork into the pocket in front of his belly, but soon the silver fork appeared on the dining table again.

Bengbeng opened the small pocket and looked inside curiously, then looked up at the silver fork, looking back and forth several times before he was sure that it was the same fork.

It tried several times in disbelief, including those golden plates, but failed every time.

"The tableware here is enchanted and cannot be taken away. However, as a prefect, I still want to remind you that keeping a Niffler as a pet is not a good choice."

Sitting opposite Moon was also a young red-haired wizard. He and Hermione next to him witnessed all of Bongbong's little actions just now.

"I didn't know it was the Niffler at first, and Hagrid even reminded me to ask the dean for a certificate." Moon hurriedly explained.

"Of course, this is necessary. Professor McGonagall pays great attention to school rules, but don't worry, she still cares about the students in her college."

The wizard who claimed to be the prefect then talked to Hermione about learning Transfiguration. Moon couldn't get a word in at all because he had just bought the textbooks yesterday.

After trying more than a dozen times, Bengbeng finally faced the reality and sat down at the dining table listlessly.

Moon carefully held it on his lap, then picked up a small piece of steak and gave it to it. Watching Bongbong start to eat, Moon listened to the conversation of everyone at the table with peace of mind.

A ghost who called himself Sir Nicholas happened to float onto the dining table. Many people greeted him and he even opened his head.

Moon was quite fond of this jazz ghost because his clothes looked like what the old people in Xilin Town often called aristocratic clothing.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sir Nicholas."

Moon looked at the ghost with only its head showing on the plate and greeted it very politely.

"Look, this is the etiquette a noble should have. You should all learn from him and stop calling him 'Nick the Brainless Nick.'"

Ghost said, then stretched out his hand and shook hands with Moon.

However, after Moon touched the other person, he immediately pulled his hand back.

He had never felt such cold before, it was even colder than when he went fishing in the river in winter.

"Oh, it might not feel good, but that's okay, the great Sir Nicholas is here to pay his respects."

The ghost said this and bowed to Moon, then his head drooped again. Moon was frightened by the scene.

The people around laughed, and Sir Nicholas left happily. Moon's eyes followed his figure to the direction of the professors.

At the long table, McGonagall was talking to Dumbledore, and they looked over here from time to time. Moon thought they were looking at Harry, after all, this boy seemed to be the focus wherever he went.

Moon withdrew his gaze and concentrated on the delicious food on the table, and gave Bongbong a small piece of lamb chops.

At this moment, Harry suddenly covered his head and screamed, then asked the name of a professor.

Moon also listened carefully to the prefect's explanation that it was Professor Quirrell and Professor Snape, who taught potions.

Moon discovered that Professor Snape, whom Harry was paying attention to, was the wizard with the longest bar, half a bar longer than Professor McGonagall.

Seeing that the professor was still very young, Moon knew that a wizard's strength seemed to have no necessary connection with age.

When dinner was over and all the food was gone, Dumbledore stood up again and made several announcements.

The Forbidden Forest cannot be entered.

The corridor cannot be enchanted.

Quidditch tryouts.

The corridor on the right side of the fourth floor is also inaccessible.

Moon engraved all the forbidden things deeply in his mind. He knew that the most important thing for him now was to learn magic, not to explore in the castle.
