Harry was stunned when he heard Ron's words. Obviously, this was the first time Harry heard this news.

Draco, who had even stood up and was about to mock Ron, could not help but sit back in silence. After all, Ron's reason was too powerful to refute.

Seeing that the atmosphere on the ship suddenly fell to the bottom, Hermione suddenly broke the silence and pointed to the front and said:

"Look! We're almost there!"

The three of them looked in the direction Hermione pointed, and saw the majestic Hogwarts Castle appear before their eyes amidst the starlight.

While the freshmen of Hogwarts were still feeling the cold wind blowing over the Black Lake, Wentworth and the others had already entered Hogwarts in a night carriage.

As soon as he entered the Great Hall of Hogwarts, Wentworth immediately looked towards the teachers' seats in the front of the hall. When Wentworth saw a strange face wearing a purple headscarf and looking a little nervous appear in the teacher's seat, he felt relieved.

In fact, on the way here, Wentworth had been worried that his arrival would cause a butterfly effect that would result in Quirrell, or Voldemort, not appearing in Hogwarts. Then his plan of "nurturing the enemy to protect himself" would end before it even began.

When Wentworth, Cedric and the others sat down, they chatted about interesting things during the holidays while waiting for Hogwarts' annual traditional event, the Hogwarts Sorting Ceremony.

Soon, under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, the first-year students walked into the Hogwarts Great Hall for the first time, and the Sorting Ceremony was carried out as recorded in the book.

I don't know if it was Harry's subconscious choice, but Harry and others who were waiting for the sorting ceremony stood very close to Wentworth's seat. Harry and Draco greeted Wentworth with a little nervousness.

As the sorting ceremony progressed, Hermione was first sorted into Gryffindor, and then Draco was sorted into Slytherin. As Draco walked towards the Slytherin table, he came over and said to Harry:

"Harry, I still hope you can join Slytherin!"

After saying this, Draco patted Harry's shoulder in a friendly manner.

But at this moment, Harry suddenly let out a slight cry.

"Harry, what's wrong?"

Ron asked concernedly.

Wentworth, who was watching all this not far away, said excitedly, "It's started!"

"What started it?"

Green, who was beside Wentworth and heard Wentworth talking, asked curiously.

Wentworth looked at the exchange of glances between Harry and Snape and asked Green with a smile:

"Green, if one day after a long time, you saw the son of your first love and your mortal enemy, how would you greet him?"

"I would say to him: Come on, call daddy!"

Wentworth: ...

At this time, with Ron being sorted into Gryffindor by the Sorting Hat, it was finally Harry's turn. When Harry Potter's name was spoken by Professor McGonagall, the entire Hogwarts Great Hall was silent for a moment, but it seemed that everyone was whispering.

Even the Hogwarts professors who were whispering to each other stopped and turned their eyes to Harry Potter.

Watching Harry walk towards the Sorting Hat step by step, Green beside Wentworth prayed softly:

After hearing Green's prayer, Wentworth asked curiously: "Why not Slytherin?"

Green closed his eyes and answered, "Because I want to win the House Cup again! If Harry Potter were to be admitted to Slytherin, he would definitely be a great help to Slytherin! I hope he doesn't end up in Slytherin!"

Looking at the extremely pious Green beside him, Wentworth couldn't help but say: "Believe me, if you want to win the house cup again, then pray that Harry Potter gets into Slytherin!"

Green: ??? On the other side of Wentworth, Cedric said regretfully:

"It's a pity that Harry Potter probably won't be able to come to Hufflepuff. Harry Potter is so pitiful. He lost his parents at such a young age."

Hearing Cedric's words, Wentworth couldn't help but look at Cedric with a strange look, thinking to himself: If you knew that less than a year after you left, your sweetheart would fall into the arms of Harry Potter, I wonder if you would still think so? !

On the stage, when the Sorting Hat was put on Harry Potter's head, Harry closed his eyes and muttered silently:

"It must not be a Slytherin! It must not be a Slytherin!"

Hearing Harry's inner thoughts, the Sorting Hat couldn't help but ask: "Why not Slytherin? Slytherin can make you an excellent wizard!"

Harry Potter was silent for a moment, but finally said firmly:

"Because I don't want to be from the same academy as the murderer of my parents!"

The Sorting Hat was also stunned when it heard Harry Potter's words, but it must be said that this reason was enough. The Sorting Hat said loudly: "Harry Potter, Gryffindor!"

After hearing the Sorting Hat's words, everyone at the Gryffindor table cheered, with Ron's cheer being the loudest.

But at the same time, at the Slytherin table, Draco clapped his hands in annoyance, and watching Harry walk towards Gryffindor, Draco said softly: "Don't worry Harry, I won't let those dirty idiots lead you astray!"

At this time, as the sorting ceremony continued, two new Slytherin freshmen sat next to Draco. One of the huge Slytherin freshmen stretched out his hand and said to Draco:

"Hello, Draco Malfoy, my name is Gregory Goyle, my father and your father, Mr. Lucius, have had dealings before. It's a pleasure to meet you. The person next to me is Vincent Crabbe!"

Following Gregory Goyle's introduction, Vincent Crabbe also extended his hand to Draco.

In fact, their idea was very simple. As heirs of the Malfoy family, pleasing Draco would definitely bring huge benefits to them.

However, to their surprise, Draco just looked at them and then asked, "Do you two know how to perform the repair spell?"

Hearing Draco's question, the two looked at each other in confusion. Finally, Vincent spoke up: "I'm sorry, Draco, neither of us knows how to repair the spell. Is there something broken? Can't you just buy another one? With the financial resources of the Malfoy family, is there anything that can't be bought?"

After saying that, Vincent smiled in a deliberately flattering way, but Vincent's smile did not elicit a response from Draco, so Vincent had to smile awkwardly in the end.

Draco frowned and asked again, "What spells do you two know?"

Seeing that the two still shook their heads, Draco said impatiently: "Stay away from me! You two are not worthy of sitting with me!"
