Chapter 11 [The So-Called Savior]
Hermione was slightly startled after hearing this.
But she also expressed understanding.
When she was in a Muggle primary school, she was also tired of being compared with the less intelligent children of the same age.
Hermione thought that Rock might also have this mentality, thinking that the children around him were not mature enough.
While Rock and Hermione were talking, Harry's turn had already come to the Sorting Ceremony.
"Harry Potter!"
When Professor McGonagall read out the name, the entire auditorium instantly became quiet.
Then there was a buzzing whisper in the restaurant, like the hissing sound of a small flame.
"Potter, is she calling Potter?"
"Is it that Harry Potter?"
The restaurant was crowded with people, and everyone was looking forward to it.
Even on the Ravenclaw seat, many people showed their curiosity, and there were even several people around Rock who stood up directly.
This is the reputation of the boy who survived.
Rock has also read the books "Modern History of Magic" and "The Rise and Fall of Dark Magic". Some of the descriptions of Harry in them are more objective, while others are more magical.
The most bizarre version Rock had seen was this:
When Harry was born, he pointed to the sky with one hand and the ground with the other, and murmured ancient magic words, which meant: I am the only one in the world.
When Voldemort learned about this, he was furious and immediately went to the Potter family and cast a terrifying killing curse on Harry.
The killing curse carried the wrath of the god of death. It was the most powerful blow by the most powerful dark wizard of this century with all his magic power!
However, such a terrifying attack only left a faint lightning scar on Harry's forehead.
At this time, the young savior only made a slight move, and broke Voldemort into two pieces with one blow.
When he was dying, the Dark Lord seemed to be caught in a revolving lantern, muttering to himself: "Harry is too strong. I'm sorry that I couldn't let him use his full strength in the battle."
Rock felt that it was too against the sky after reading it.
So Rock immediately shared it with Harry.
"Is this me?" Harry said, and he felt his eyes go black and dizzy.
Then he was so embarrassed that he didn't go out for three days.
However, according to Rock's observation, the boy had actually been hiding in the house for those days, secretly learning the spell of breaking into pieces.
Although this kind of story sounds a bit far-fetched, it has always been very popular in the wizarding world.
The reason is that for wizards, it is normal to be born extraordinary.
What is born with Parseltongue, Phoenix helps in times of crisis, born prophet, or born Legilimency master, although these are rare in the wizarding world, they do exist.
However, Harry's story is still a little outrageous, and it can be said to be a cool story in the wizarding world.
However, the wizarding society does need a spiritual savior, so both Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic are tacitly advocating the savior theory.
...
Harry Potter's sorting took a long time.
Harry looked at Rock while constantly talking to the Sorting Hat.
The argument with the Sorting Hat never stopped until the students around Rock stretched their necks to a point of stiffness, and then the Sorting Hat shouted loudly:
"Gryffindor!"
Harry was a little disappointed, as if he regretted not being able to go to the college he wanted to go to.
But the cheers from the Gryffindor table soon drowned out everything.
"We have Potter, we have Potter!"
They all rushed to shake hands with Harry, and were proud of it.
The Sorting Ceremony was over soon.
Neville and Ron were naturally sorted into Gryffindor. Harry was a little happy when he saw Neville, as if he was glad that he still had an acquaintance here.
Professor McGonagall also rolled up the straw paper and left with the Sorting Hat.
After confirming that the Sorting was over, Albus Dumbledore stood up.
He looked at the students with a smile on his face, and stretched out his arms to them, as if nothing made him happier than seeing the students gathered together.
"Welcome!" he said, "Welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start a new school year!"
"Before the banquet begins, I want to say a few words. That is: Idiot! Crybaby! Scum! Twist!"
"Thank you everyone!"
Dumbledore sat down again.
The brown-haired otter, who thought Dumbledore would show his amazing wisdom, looked at Rock in confusion.
Rock was also helpless: "Please be considerate of this old man who is over a hundred years old. It's good enough for him to run home when it rains at his age."
"We can't expect too much from him."
At this time, the table was full of food.
The little wizards gradually gave up thinking and began to show off wildly, inhaling the storm.
To the left of the Gryffindor table is Hufflepuff, and to the right of it is Ravenclaw.
The tables of the two colleges of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw are very close, and as long as the position is right, they can be back to back.
After a while, Neville and Harry came over.
Harry sat at the Gryffindor table and turned to Rock and said, "Rock, you don't know, the hat just wanted to put me in Slytherin, I said I wanted to come to Raven-"
"Hey!" Rock interrupted Harry before he finished speaking.
My savior, you really should pay attention to your surroundings.
There were many Gryffindor students not far away from them, looking at the savior curiously.
Harry seemed to realize it and immediately changed his words: "I mean, I just met a new friend here in Gryffindor. He is a very nice person. His name is Ron Weasley."
"He also has several brothers sitting over there."
Rock looked over, and the Weasley twins and Percy also waved in time.
Harry began to tell Rock and the others how he met the Weasley brothers.
When Harry was eating just now, as he was enjoying his meal, a ghost suddenly appeared from under the table - Nearly Headless Nick.
Commonly known as Nick, he always likes to come out and look familiar to the students when they are eating.
But he didn't realize that his R-rated neck was not suitable for eating.
Ron introduced this ghost to Harry, and the two got to know each other immediately. Ron's brother Percy Weasley also enthusiastically discussed their next homework with Harry.
…
In this way, as the students chatted and ate with each other, the banquet ended quietly.
Dumbledore stood up again to speak.
"Oh, now that everyone has eaten and drank enough, I want to say a few more words to you. At the beginning of the semester, I want to put forward a few things to pay attention to."
"Attention first-year students, students are prohibited from entering the woods on campus. Some of our senior students should also remember this."
Dumbledore's shining eyes glanced towards the Weasley twins.
Then Dumbledore talked about the things to note about Quidditch.
And in the end, it was something that Rock was extremely familiar with——
"Finally, I must tell everyone that anyone who does not want to suffer an accident and die in pain should not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor."
Although there is no Professor Quirrell anymore.
But what remains unchanged is the Savior’s Philosopher’s Stone package.
