Then, he calmly picked up the Sorting Hat, every movement exuding elegance...
“Mr. Malfoy, please hurry up. Don’t keep the freshmen waiting too long. Wasting time is a shameful thing to do.”
Professor McGonagall's impatient urging made Malfoy somewhat embarrassed; he had been so focused on putting on airs that he hadn't expected to annoy the professor.
"Hahaha~~"
The audience burst into laughter.
Seeing Malfoy embarrass himself on stage, Harvey suddenly understood why he and Harry Potter were mortal enemies.
How can this show-off kid stand having someone more awesome than him at school?
Harry Potter's name is known to everyone in the wizarding world.
No wonder Malfoy was targeting Harry Potter at every turn.
"Perhaps there is an even deeper understanding."
Harvey's thinking has expanded to the fifth level.
I've heard that England is full of lovesick and resentful men...
......
After the sorting ceremony, all the students stared hungryly at the plates in front of them.
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore slowly rose and silently cast a Loud Voice Charm without a wand.
"Welcome to the warm and friendly Hogwarts family, new students! We also welcome older students to begin their new academic year at Hogwarts."
Before the dinner begins, I'd like to say something to everyone—
"Idiot! Cry! Residue! Screw it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, delicious dishes such as grilled steak, beef kidney pie, Yorkshire pudding, and chicken pie appeared on the students' plates.
The new Ravenclaw students were still whispering about the meaning of Headmaster Dumbledore's words.
Harvey, however, had already begun to devour the delicious food in front of him.
In his eyes, only delicious food and...beautiful women are worth cherishing.
Hermione's family's daily meals are usually typical British dishes, such as baked salmon, pan-fried chicken breast, and mashed potatoes.
Although Mrs. Granger's cooking was decent, Harvey just couldn't get used to it; after all, having vegetable and chicken wraps with tomato soup for lunch was really strange...
After half an hour.
Harvey devoured the chicken pie, beef pie, and pudding in front of him in a flash.
The food in the Great Hall is provided by the house-elves in the Hogwarts kitchens.
Logically, it should be infinite.
Because house-elves constantly prepare food and use magic to transport the dishes to the Great Hall for the teachers and students to eat.
But Harvey managed to eat all three dishes.
It's easy to imagine just how much he ate.
Chapter 26 The Terrible School Song Singing Session
Harvey, looking completely satisfied, patted his bulging belly before belatedly realizing what had happened.
Is my appetite a bit excessive?
"Being able to eat is a blessing, never mind."
Perhaps it was because the food at Hogwarts was particularly to his liking, Harvey didn't think much of it.
After most of the teachers and students had finished their meal, Dumbledore stood up again, his white beard trembling, and said in a loud, resonant voice:
"Attention first-year students: Entry into the forbidden forest is strictly prohibited at any time, except when accompanied by a professor."
"Also, Mr. Filch, the administrator, asked me to remind everyone again that students are prohibited from going out at night!"
"It is especially important to note that if you do not wish to encounter misfortune or an accidental death, do not approach the right-hand corridor on the fourth floor of the castle."
"Finally, before going to bed, let's sing the school song together."
"Everyone can choose any tune they like!"
The professors sitting at the principal's table all changed their expressions upon hearing this.
Professor Severus Snape, in particular, with his hooked nose and a black cloak that looked like bat wings but was actually bat wings, had a frighteningly cold expression.
At this moment, Dumbledore used his wand as a conductor's baton, closed his eyes in self-absorption, and gently tapped the void.
"Ready—Sing!"
"There was a girl who was a little willful..."
Harvey was very obedient and used the tune of a classic childhood song.
But he couldn't continue after singing only half a line.
The chaotic wailing and howling all around was really annoying.
Moreover, it seems that old Dumbledore has gone deaf, yet he continues to wave his wand with an air of self-satisfaction.
finally--
The disastrous school song singing segment is over.
The senior prefects began addressing the freshmen.
"First-year students, please follow me."
Fifth-year presiding officer Robert Hilliard led the nine freshmen assigned to Ravenclaw out of the Great Hall.
Harvey followed the others very discreetly out of the side door of the Great Hall and along the corridor to the Ravenclaw common room located on the west side of the castle.
Prefect Robert explained many of the school's rules along the way.
Finally, they were led to a large door with no handles or keyholes, only an eagle-shaped bronze door knocker.
"The dormitory is located above the Ravenclaw common room, and to enter the common room, you need to answer a riddle or puzzle given by the door knocker."
"If you can't answer, you can ask the door knocker to ask another question, or ask other classmates who know the answer for help."
"But I don't want to see a stupid little wizard whose intelligence is comparable to that of a troll."
Then, prefect Robert stepped forward to demonstrate.
The bronze door knocker raises a question.
"Always by your side, yet elusive; impossible to hold in your hand, yet capable of shaping your life—what is it?"
Prefect Robert thought for a moment and replied, "Fate!"
"Correct answer!"
The lounge door opened automatically.
Several freshmen exclaimed in surprise, not expecting their class monitor to come up with the answer so quickly.
Prefect Robert walked calmly into the lounge. "These philosophical questions are relatively simple. If you encounter a math problem that tests logic..."
"That would be everyone's nightmare!"
"I remember one time, no one could answer the math question given by the door ring."
Harvey couldn't help but interject, "So, in the end, we can only ask the professor for help?"
Robert slowed his pace and turned to look at Harvey, who had asked the question.
"In fact, that math problem was said to be one of the top ten math problems in the Muggle world, and none of the professors in the entire school could answer it."
"In the end, all the students in our college had to sleep outside in sleeping bags for one night."
Harvey's lips twitched. Being assigned to Ravenclaw House and having nowhere to sleep?
"It's getting late, freshmen, don't get too excited. You have two potions classes early tomorrow morning, so don't be late on your first day of class."
"After all, the Potions professor's personality is... well, rather strict. If you're late, he'll definitely deduct points from your academy, so remember to go to bed early."
Robert didn't dare to speak ill of Professor Snape in public. He led everyone into the lounge, gave them a few instructions, and then turned and left.
After the class monitor left, the new students started chattering amongst themselves.
"So who assigns the dorm rooms?"
"Does this mean we have to choose for ourselves?"
"I don't think it's that simple; there must be another test involved in assigning dorm rooms..."
The ceiling of the Ravenclaw common room is domed and decorated with stars.
The lounge is neatly furnished with tables and chairs and bookshelves filled with books, making it convenient for the little eagles who love learning to access knowledge at any time.
In the niche next to it is a white marble bust of Rowena Ravenclaw.
It looks a bit creepy.
The white portrait gave Harvey a very bad impression.
He was afraid that the portrait would suddenly move at any moment.
After seeing the animated castle knights and guards, animated human figures aren't really that surprising...
The arched windows of the common room offer a beautiful view of Hogwarts.
Under the cover of night, one can vaguely see the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch pitch, and the greenhouse behind the castle.
After taking a quick look around the lounge, Harvey walked past everyone and headed towards the upper-level dormitory in the tower.
They also left the other freshmen with a bold guess.
"Is it possible that Prefect Robert simply forgot to assign us dorm rooms?"
"Impossible! How could the prefect, who's considered the smartest in fifth grade, make such a basic mistake..."
Upon reaching the upper level of the tower, Harvey ignored the objections from the freshmen behind him.
He went into all the rooms with open doors, indicating that no one was living there, and looked around.
