Ninja in Harry Potter - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Slytherin House!

“You didn’t know?” Prefect Farley raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“Well, I didn’t read anything about this…” Ryan said.

“Hat hater is a very rare group of people. To put it simply, when a new student puts on the Sorting Hat, if it takes more than ten minutes for the Sorting Hat to determine which house he should be assigned to, then this person can Being called a Hat hater.”

“Is this rare?”

“Of course, it’s quite rare, because the Sorting Hat can easily see through a person’s thoughts. It’s very difficult to make him struggle for ten minutes like just now. The last time the Sorting Hat appeared was in forty-five years.”

It turns out that’s the case. No wonder those people pay so much attention to me.

Hat Hater?

This name is so apt.

It is really embarrassing for the Sorting Hat to be unable to decide a student’s destination for a long time.

The discussion in the auditorium stopped abruptly after Dumbledore tapped the silver goblet in front of him.

He looked towards the long Slytherin table with interest. His blue eyes, obscured by the half-moon glasses on the bridge of his nose, made it difficult to understand his inner thoughts.

It seemed that Dumbledore had noticed him.

What bad luck!

“Next, Neville Longbottom.”

As the sorting ceremony continued, the brief noise caused by Ryan just now was like a stone thrown into the lake, causing a ripple before falling to the bottom of the lake.

…..

Perhaps because he was ashamed of being delayed for too long in Ryan, the subsequent sorting ceremony progressed very quickly.

Even Neville, who troubled the Sorting Hat in the original book, was sorted into Gryffindor in only a short time.

Of course, the latter still lived up to expectations and completed an embarrassing thing that made all the teachers and students laugh. Because he was so nervous, he actually walked to the Gryffindor table together wearing the sorting hat.

Looking at Neville running back with a red face amidst the roar of laughter from the students around him, Ryan couldn’t help but grin.

Neville is really cute and silly.

…

“Next, Draco Malfoy.”

A pale boy with a thin chin and silver-gray hair strutted out of the crowd. He had very smooth platinum-blonde hair.

He glanced at the hat with disgust, as if it was some disgusting and dirty thing, and almost as soon as he touched the hat, the Sorting Hat’s shouts spread throughout the Great Hall.

“Slytherin!”

Draco seemed to be very satisfied with the Sorting Hat’s understanding. He returned the Sorting Hat to Professor McGonagall, and then walked towards the Slytherin table in a swagger.

All Slytherins applauded to welcome Draco Malfoy.

Although Ryan and Draco both come from Twenty Eight Sacred Family.

Its just fame of Black family has decreased a lot, and only a few people remember about it.

While under the leadership of Lucius Malfoy, Malfoy family became really prominent.

At this point in time, the Malfoy family is probably the most influential family in the British wizarding world. Draco’s father, Lucius Malfoy, is a very outstanding Slytherin.

Not only did he cleverly remove himself from the purge list when Voldemort fell, and he also knew how to win people’s hearts.

From the Minister of Magic, to the Wizengamot jurors, to the Aurors in the Auror office, he has arranged his spies.

The fall of the Dark Lord not only did not bring about the decline of the Malfoy family, but it also became stronger because it lost the competition from several other pure-blood families.

“Welcome, welcome to Slytherin.” Opposite Ryan, Prefect Farley shook hands with Malfoy and chatted warmly, and then led him to the empty seat beside him.

“Thank you, Senior Sister Farley. I heard my father say a lot about the Farley family. They are always been our best friends.”

It seemed that Malfoy had already known this Slytherin senior before he entered school. This is normal. The British wizarding world is so big, but here, the social circle of pure-blood nobles is even smaller.

Except for the Weasley family and Black family, who are not popular with pure-bloods, most pure-blood wizards have a small but stable social circle.

They regularly hold banquets in the mansion, and then use it to engage in some dirty trade or dirty things.

It is also normal for their children to know people of their own age.

It’s just Black family doesn’t have any senior, so calling a child to the party felt really weird.

So Ryan didn’t get any invitation.

“Of course, my father and I have always believed that under the leadership of Chief Malfoy, we can achieve more benefits for us.”

Hearing such words, Draco was undoubtedly even happier. In his eyes, his father was the most powerful wizard in the world.

“What’s it felt like to be a hater? Ryan.” As Draco took his seat beside him, he asked.

“I don’t think you’ll like that feeling.”

“Why? Doesn’t it feel good to be the center of attention?”

“No, because becoming a hater means that you have to smell the dirty smell for ten minutes, Merlin’s beard! I almost went crazy when I came down!” Ryan’s words were funny.

Draco Malfoy laughed.

“Aha, you’re so right! I really don’t understand why they use this thing to sort us into different houses. It’s really dirty!” After saying that, Draco Malfoy glanced at the Sorting Hat in disgust.

“You must wash your hair well tonight. I really can’t believe that you actually wore such a dirty hat for so long.”

After a few casual words, Ryan stopped talking to Draco Malfoy.

As a cousin, previous Ryan has good relationship with Draco. So he don’t want him find a bit mistake in his word.

What’s more, Malfoy’s attention has already been focused on the upcoming sorting ceremony.

Following his gaze, Ryan easily spotted the familiar figure in the crowd, Harry Potter.

This little boy with messy black hair was standing there timidly. His thin body made him look inconspicuous in the crowd.

If most of the freshmen hadn’t already completed the sorting ceremony, it would have been difficult to spot Ryan in the crowd.

Malfoy, on the other hand, was staring directly at Potter.

The two of them are really in love with each other.

Looking at Draco’s gnashing of teeth, Ryan thought with evil intentions in his heart.

Why did you say that sentence just because I looked at you one more time in the crowd?

If I remember correctly, Draco originally wanted to make friends with Harry, but in the end, love turned into hatred, and they began to love and kill each other for seven years.

“Harry Potter!” Professor McGonagall finally read the name.

“Is it that Potter?”

“Otherwise, are there other Potters?”

The students’ discussion rang out again in the auditorium. They stretched their necks, trying to see clearly what this legendary savior looked like.

This made Harry even more nervous. He couldn’t wait to walk forward and put on the Sorting Hat, as if he wanted the wide brim of the Sorting Hat to block people’s curious eyes.

Almost another four or five minutes passed, and the atmosphere in the auditorium reached its peak with the shout of the Sorting Hat.

“Gryffindor!”

“Damn it!” Seeing Harry walking towards the Gryffindor table excitedly, Draco knocked on the table angrily.

“What, you two have a conflict?”

“How dare he refuse the hand of friendship extended by the Malfoy family, I will make him regret it!”

The next sorting was not interesting either. Lisa Dupin became a new student in Ravenclaw, and Ron Weasley, that clumsy idiot, was also sorted into Gryffindor as he wished.

After the last new student, Blaise Zabini, was sorted into Slytherin, Professor McGonagall collected the roll of parchment and left the Great Hall with the sorting hat and barstool.

Dumbledore stood up, a kind smile on his face.

“Welcome, welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start the new school year.” Without using the amplifying spell, Dumbledore’s loud voice still spread throughout the entire auditorium.

It’s hard to imagine that this is the sound that a 110-year-old man can make.

Come on, Dumbledore, finish talking quickly and start the dinner. I’m going to starve to death.

Ryan touched his flat belly. He couldn’t wait to fill it all with delicious food.

“Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!”

“Thank you!”

He sat back down. Everybody clapped and cheered.

Ryan didn’t know whether to laugh or not.

These words don’t make sense, but atleast he is good guy to not stretched his speech.

The dishes in front of him were now piled with food.

He had never seen so many things he liked to eat on one table: roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops and lamb chops, sausages, bacon and steak, boiled potatoes, roast potatoes, fries, Yorkshire pudding, peas, carrots, gravy, ketchup, and, for some strange reason, peppermint humbugs.

Ryan piled his plate with a bit of everything except the peppermints and began to eat. It was all delicious.

Luckily it was tasty, otherwise he really don’t know how he gonna live here for 7 years.

While eating, Ryan looked over the ghost of slytherin.

This guy has blank staring eyes, a gaunt face, and robes stained with silver blood.

He was right next to Malfoy.

When ghost looked towards him, Ryan smiled towards the guy, and asked: “Sir, do you want to taste it? It’s really tasty.”

Bloody Baron looked Ryan with his blank eyes, and stay silent for a while.

“No need!” Just when Ryan about to take his hand back awkwardly, Bloody Baron said.

After that, he didn’t stay, and float on another direction.

When everyone had eaten as much as they could, the remains of the food faded from the plates, leaving them sparkling clean as before.

A moment later the desserts appeared. Blocks of ice cream in every flavor you could think of,
apple pies, treacle tarts, chocolate eclairs and jam doughnuts, trifle, strawberries, Jell-O, rice pudding…

Ryan knows that Sugar is not good for children, so he only tasted a little bit of ice-cream, which is really tasty.

Draco who knew that Ryan didn’t have much friends, so he started to introduce.

“Everyone, this is my cousin Ryan Black. He is a crazy dude who spend most of his time studying. If you want to find him, go and check the library… 90% of the chance he would meet you there.”

Pansy Parkinson asked: “Then why he didn’t go to Ravenclaw, and come to Slytherin?”

Draco laughed, and said: “Even I was shocked when Sorting Hat shouted Slytherin.”

Draco patted on Ryan, and said: “Let me introduce to others. This is Pansy Parkinson, from Parkinson Family. She usually come to my house with her father. She likes sweats. So if you want her to do something, just offer her sweats in bribe.”

Hearing this, Pansy immediately showed her fang towards Draco in anger.

Draco smiled, and ignored.

He started to talk about Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, Theodore Nott, Blaise Zabini, Daphne Greengrass, and Millicent Bulstrode.

Almost 70% of the first year were introduced.

Those whom Draco don’t know, he can only point, and they introduce themselves.

In a sense, they are not important people.

At last, the desserts too disappeared, and Professor Dumbledore got to his feet again. The hall fell silent.

“Ahem — just a few more words now that we are all fed and watered. I have a few start-of-term notices to give you.”

“First years should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all pupils. And a few of our older students would do well to remember that as well.”

Dumbledore’s twinkling eyes flashed in the direction of the Weasley twins.

“I have also been asked by Mr. Filch, the caretaker, to remind you all that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors.”

“Quidditch trials will be held in the second week of the term. Anyone interested in playing for their house teams should contact Madam Hooch.”

“And finally, I must tell you that this year, the third-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a very painful death.”

This notification is weird, even for the senior students.

But Dumbledore didn’t gave them any extra details about the last warning.

“And now, before we go to bed, let us sing the school song!” Dumbledore said with smile.

Ryan noticed that the other teachers’ smiles had become rather fixed.

Dumbledore gave his wand a little flick, as if he was trying to get a fly off the end, and a long golden ribbon flew out of it, which rose high above the tables and twisted itself, snakelike, into words.

“Everyone pick their favorite tune,” Dumbledore said, “and off we go!”

And the school bellowed:

“Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,

Teach us something please,

Whether we be old and bald

Or young with scabby knees,

Our heads could do with filling

With some interesting stuff,

For now they’re bare and full of air,

Dead flies and bits of fluff,

So teach us things worth knowing,

Bring back what we’ve forgot,

just do your best, we’ll do the rest,

And learn until our brains all rot.”

Everybody finished the song at different times.

Even Ryan is shouting with his own happiness, and didn’t care about the embarrassment.

Now he is just a 11 years old kid. How much embarrass he can be?

And most importantly, when you sing the first line, second line automatically come into your mind.

Definitely a powerful magic.

Dumbledore conducted their last few lines with his wand and when they had finished, he was
one of those who clapped loudest.

“Ah, music,” he said, wiping his eyes.

“A magic beyond all we do here! And now, bedtime. Off you trot!”

Slytherin first years followed Gemma Farley through the chattering crowds, out of the Great Hall, and down the marble staircase.

Her perfect butt is swaying in her skirt, and make the seen so beautiful the Ryan forget all pain.

Soon they reached the basement, and Slytherin turned to the left side, while Hufflepuff went to the right side.

Ryan is walking just behind Gemma Farley, so he won’t miss a single glance.

“Mr. Black, do you like what you saw?”

Suddenly a voice sounded in his ear.

Ryan immediately looked around in panic. Because this sound felt as if something whispered just behind his ears.

Ryan looked towards Gemma, who was looking at him, and giving him evil smile.

Suddenly sound came once again.

“Be careful where you look. Maybe next time I might poke out your eyes.”

Once again sound came beside Ryan’s ears, but Ryan saw Gemma Farley moving her lips.

Ryan just smiled, and looking on the other side.

As expected, provoking this little snake is really dangerous.

First they are women, second they are witches, and third they are member of slytherin…

These girl are even more crazy than Dark Wizards in term of revenge.

As they kept walking, soon they are started to feel that moisture in this place is much higher than others. And even the area is much darker.

Suddenly they came to a sudden halt.

This is clearly a plain wall with a hole at the top.

Suddenly two stone snake come out of the hole, and made the form of a door.

Gemma Farley, who was in the front, she said: “This is the entrance of Slytherin House. You have speak the password in order to open the door.”

“Password will change every 2 weeks, and will be updated on the notice board. So keep checking out.

Today’s password is, Profit!”

As soon as she said the password, door opened in front of her.
