Hogwarts: My Name is the Unforgivable

A scary-looking wizard with a thick beard and a large body emerged from the darkness holding a lantern, waving his arms and shouting, "I am Rubeus Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts, responsible for guiding the first-year students! Are there any other first-year students?"

"Are they all here? All right, watch your step, follow me!"

Hagrid led about a few dozen nervous and curious freshmen along a rugged and narrow path, stumbling for a while, until a wide lake suddenly spread out at the end of the road. On the opposite bank was a magnificent castle towering into the clouds, emitting dense lights under the cover of night, and the tall towers on the top pierced the sky, echoing with the twinkling starry sky, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"Hogwarts is in front, you can take the boat on the shore to get there, and there can be no more than four people on each boat!" Hagrid turned around and shouted at the stunned first-year students, then led them to the shore and watched them get on the boat one by one.

Avada, Baron and Qiu Zhang were already familiar with each other, so they naturally chose to take the same boat.

 "Are you all ready? Then - let's go!"

Hagrid occupied a boat alone. With his order, all the boats moved automatically without wind and drove steadily towards the castle on the other side. Along the way, the freshmen kept silent at the same time, just staring at the towering castle that would carry them for seven years with curiosity, nervousness or awe.

The boat carried them through the ivy curtain covering the front of the cliff, to a hidden open entrance, and then along a dark tunnel to a place similar to an underground dock, and finally climbed up a ground of gravel and pebbles to a huge oak door. Hagrid walked forward and knocked on the door three times with his fist.

The door opened a little, revealing a witch with a kind face and a patched gray-brown robe behind the door.

"Here are the new students, Professor Sprout." Hagrid said to the witch in a muffled voice.

 "Thank you for your hard work, Hagrid."

front of the gate, staring at the crowd below with a smile, and spoke in a loud voice:

"First-year students, welcome to Hogwarts!"

"The opening party is about to begin. But before you officially enroll, you must first go through the sorting ceremony to enter one of the four houses of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin."

"The college is like your home in Hogwarts. You will go to class with other students in the college, live in the college dormitory together, and spend your spare time together in the common room. Your outstanding performance will earn your college extra points, while violations will cause your college to lose points. At the end of the year, the college with the highest score will receive the highest honor of the year, the College Cup."

"The sorting ceremony is about to begin. It will be held in front of the entire school. Keep quiet, tidy yourself up a little, and then follow me."

Sprout walked into the gate first, and after leading the freshmen behind him in, they stood in the hallway, giving them time to tidy up their appearance and whisper to each other.

that the process of sorting may include a magical contract that prevents students from revealing the specific process of sorting."

"But why is that?" A boy heard the conversation between the two and asked, "Is the process of sorting dangerous or even illegal?"

Another girl also joined the discussion, "That's not the case. My father works in the Law Enforcement Department. He also graduated from Hogwarts. If there was any problem, he would have investigated it long ago."

"My parents also told me that if it was a bad kid, he would be directly assigned to Azkaban..."

The discussion gradually became louder, and Avada was speechless.

It was because there were few people in the magical world that they could maintain a strange tacit understanding in such a strange place.

  "Okay."

Sprout clapped his hands to calm the discussion: "Everyone line up and follow me into the hall to prepare for the sorting."

"Also, some ghosts will appear later, don't panic, they won't hurt you, they can't even touch you, at most you will feel a little cold..."

As he spoke, Sprout led the freshmen through the corridor and stepped into the magnificent hall. Students from other grades were already sitting around four long tables, and thousands of candles floating in the air above the tables illuminated the restaurant. The four tables were placed with glittering golden plates and high-footed wine glasses. The teachers' seats were on the table at the top of the restaurant, where there was another long table. Behind the table sat the headmaster Dumbledore and several other wizards and witches.

Sprout gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first-year students, and then placed a pointed wizard hat on the stool. The hat was patched, worn and dirty, and it was unknown how long it had not been cleaned.

Avada was looking around the teacher's seat, trying to identify the professors he was familiar with. But when the Sorting Hat appeared, all the professors, including Dumbledore, stretched out their fingers and tapped their ears. Many senior students in the audience also took out their wands and did the same thing. Then

A wide slit appeared on the edge of the Sorting Hat, like a mouth, and began to sing loudly...

  "Fuck!"

As soon as the Sorting Hat started to sing, Avada's face changed drastically, and he quickly took out his wand and pointed it at his ears.

"Close your ears and plug your ears!"

As the spell he figured out took effect, Avada felt that the world had completely quieted down.

After the Sorting Hat finished singing, the whole audience applauded, as if to celebrate their liberation. Avada also waved his wand and removed the magic on his ears.   

Professor Sprout also stepped forward and stood beside the Sorting Hat, holding a piece of parchment in his hand: "Whoever's name I call now, put on the hat, sit on the stool, and start the sorting."

  "Michael Duncan!"

A blond boy ran up to the stage with excitement, and almost fell off when he sat on the stool.

  "Gryffindor!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a huge applause from the long table on the right side of the middle.

  "Charby Nott!"

  "Hufflepuff!"

The long table on the far right with the most people applauded.

  "Henry Summers!"

  "Hufflepuff!"

  ...

"Qiu Zhang!" Sprout read loudly. Qiu took a deep breath, grasped the corner of his clothes, walked forward, and put on the Sorting Hat. And a discussion also broke out at the long table below.

  "Wow, an Asian face, rarely seen!"

"It seems that the first Chinese wizard in Hogwarts was a few decades ago, this should be the second one!"

  "And she is so beautiful..."

The Sorting Hat hesitated on Qiu's head before shouting: "Ravenclaw!"

The cheers at the Ravenclaw table were obviously much louder than before.

  "Baron Shafik!"

Baron turned around and smiled at Avada, and walked forward with his head held high and put on the Sorting Hat.

"Slytherin!" The Sorting Hat shouted immediately as it almost touched his hair.

"Tsk." Two red-haired faces were huddled together at the Gryffindor table and muttered: "He must not be a good person to enter Slytherin so decisively."

"Speak kindly." The tall red-haired wizard on the side glanced at the two of them: "After all, they are freshmen."

Baron was very satisfied with the result and strode towards the Slytherin table.

Professor Sprout was about to read the next name, looking at the student list, and suddenly frowned and was silent for a while.

  "Next, uh... Mr. Ken!"

Before Avada could respond, the people at the long table below started to talk:

  "What's going on? Why doesn't he even have a full name?"

"That's not certain, maybe his name is Mist Ken?"

"That's too perfunctory! Were his parents drunk when they named him?"

"The last perfunctory name was Tonks, ni..."

  "Shut up, bastard!"

Avada sighed silently, walked forward, and put on his hat in the spotlight.

On the first day of school, he became famous throughout the school
