Chapter 136: “New Students”


    Selma was surprised and embarrassed. It made her look slow and a bit like a sloth. Of course, it’s the kind of sloth that looked good. Although this description is a bit strange, this is the first impression that popped up in Sean, Hermione’s, and Harry’s minds.


    “Oh, Professor Babbling likes to talk about her students.” She said calmly.


    Sean was immediately in awe. In his opinion, anyone who can learn ancient runes is a genius, and Professor Babling has always been known for her strictness.


    “Is the ancient rune difficult?” He asked seriously.


    Sm shook her head, “In my opinion, not really.”


    Sean’s rune talent is only level 2, and he expressed his frustration.


    Selma saw his expression and smiled slightly, “It may have something to do with my parents’ upations since they are both archaeologists.”


    “Archaeologist? That’s cool.” Harry eximed, “My friend’s brother is studying the pyramids in Egypt.”


    “Well, they’re not wizards, and they don’t know magic,” Selma exined. “I’m actually Swedish, but because Durmstrang doesn’t ept Muggle-born wizards, I came to Hogwarts.”


    “What about Nurmengard?” Sean asked.


    Selma said, “Because of my family’s influence, I prefer Hogwarts with its historical roots.”


    The carriage started to drive, and the Thestral, which rubbed its head against Sean, looked back.


    “You can see Thestrals, too, right?” Selma asked Sean.


    Seeing Sean nod, she smiled and was quite excited to meet someone of the same kind.


    “Thestrals?” Hermione looked suspiciously at the shaft of the carriage. As far as she could see, it was still empty.


    “Thestrals are only seen by people who have seen death,” Sean exined, “which gives them a rather unlucky reputation. When in fact, Thestrals are friendly creatures.”


    Selma nodded and added, “If you can interact with them, you can even ride them.”


    “Those who have seen death?”


    “Well, there are always many idents in life.” Sean spread his hands.


    The carriages carried the students staggering and creaking across the gravel road. They soon passed the school gate, and Hogwarts Castle was getting closer.


    They could vaguely see the towers and some windows that glowed red.


    The carriage stopped beside the stone steps leading to the gate. They got off, Sean touched the back of the Thestral. In the eyes of Hermione and Sean, he was rubbing the air.


    After saying goodbye to the Thestral and Selma, they walked into the brightly lit hall, and Hermione whispered along the way, “Are you not joking about it, Sean?”


    “Of course not, you can ask Professor Scamander about it.”


    He happened to see Newt, who had just sat down at the teacher’s table, and he smiled at him. Although Sean thought he wanted to talk about something to him for a moment.


    The other students walked into the hall one by one, and the professors came out from the side and sat down one after another. Sean noticed that Snape had taken his ce early on, scanning everyone with his cold eyes.


    Sean was even a little excited. He was a bit upset that all the electronic equipment in Hogwarts would fail. How interesting would it be to record Snape with a video recorder?


    Of course, the idea of ??recording Snape for only self-entertainment itself is dangerous. He didn’t want to copse at the entrance ceremony table because of food poisoning.


    A short whileter, Dumbledore emerged in his robe, smiling as he greeted the cheers of the students. After he took the seat, Professor McGonagall led the freshmen in.


    The freshmen walked in nervously, full of anticipation, excitement, and a little bit of fear. They wore long robes and pointed hats, and many of them straightened their hats from time to time.


    “It feels different knowing we were in their positionst year.” Hermione whispered in his ear.


    Sean smiled and nodded. This feeling happens to all students in the world. When facing new students, old students will always unconsciously grow a feeling of seniority among them.


    Sean saw that Daisy and Ginny were standing together. The two girls attracted a lot of attention.


    Daisy was not so nervous as before, Probably because of the reason he had informed her in advance. From time to time, sheforted Ginny, who was holding her robe tightly.


    Sean looked at the teacher’s desk and almostughed out loud. Snape was pretending to be calm while shaking his goblet. But since the banquet hadn’t started, the goblet was empty.


    His eyes focused in Daisy’s direction from time to time.


    Sean saw Snape’s eyes turn and quickly lowered his head, he was afraid that if heughed and he would be jinxed or punished.


    Professor McGonagall ced the Sorting Hat on a stool. She picked up a parchment paper to call the students.


    “Please step forward if your name is called.”


    “Salis Alberta.” A tall girl ran over quickly and almost knocked over the high stool.


    Ten secondster, the Sorting Hat shouted, “Gryffindor!”


    Amid the cheers and apuse, Salis walked towards the table of the Gryffindor with a flushed face.


    “Komaya Berger.”


    “Ravenw!”


    The short, skinny boy became Ravenw’s first freshman. Sean and Hermione apuded enthusiastically together.


    This year’s freshmen are less thanst year’s, probably not more than eighty students. It’s unknown whether it’s because there are fewer students or because Nurmengard took some of them away.


    The sorting ceremony was going on in an orderly manner.


    “Daisy Potter.”


    Daisy happily and nervously walked to the stool and many boys secretly gave out admiration. Sean looked at the teacher’s desk. Snape stretched his neck and just nced at Daisy. He quickly looked away and looked at the boys who were looking at her.
