Wait here until I return.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Professor McGonagall left, the first-years grew noisy again, sharing rumors about the Sorting Ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First was Ron, who declared confidently: “I have five older brothers at Hogwarts—they told me the Sorting Ceremony is extremely strict; if Itachi don’t meet the standard, Itachi might be expelled tonight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone in the crowd gasped: “Aren’t we already enrolled? How can we still be expelled? Didn’t we just spend a fortune on all those supplies?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Embarrassed by his overblown claim, Ron rubbed his nose and said, “I heard it from Fred and George—they always prank me. Maybe they were lying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another student spoke up: “I think they weren’t lying—I heard the Sorting Ceremony requires fighting a troll, and your house is assigned based on the outcome. In past years, many first-years have died doing it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More gasps erupted from the crowd: “No wonder people always say Hogwarts has a fixed death quota—students die every year!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the more timid girls, hearing this, began trembling in the corners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione impatiently interrupted the boys’ fantasies, reasoning logically: “How could a wizarding Sorting Ceremony be so barbaric? We’re wizards, not warriors! Why would they send us to fight trolls on the first day?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True wizards rely on intellect and knowledge! So I believe the Sorting Ceremony is simply an exam—your house is assigned based on your score!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, why would the school have reminded us to buy textbooks a full month in advance? Isn’t that to give us time to prepare for the exam?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many first-years nodded in agreement at Hermione’s explanation—this theory was far more plausible than fighting trolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But many others frowned and sighed heavily; they had never even opened a textbook, and some didn’t even know what books they’d bought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s over! I’m going to fail with zero points!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My books are still on the train—can I go back and get them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too late! Your luggage has already been sent to the dormitories!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the groans from all around, Chu Yang shook his head helplessly, thinking these kids were terrifying themselves unnecessarily—they’d never guess the Sorting Ceremony simply required placing the Sorting Hat on their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron nervously tugged at Harry’s sleeve and asked, “Have Itachi read those textbooks?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry shook his head: “My aunt and uncle didn’t want me to come to Hogwarts—they tried every way to stop me from getting the acceptance letter. I only got the chance to come a few days ago, thanks to Hagrid. Do Itachi think I’ve read them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then it’s fine—looks like we’ll definitely get sorted into the same house,” Ron sighed in relief, even winking at Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi’ve got such a good attitude,” Harry laughed, then turned to Chu Yang with admiration: “Chu Yang will definitely get the highest score.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true—Chu Yang’s mind isn’t like anyone else’s. I’d say only that girl could keep up with him,” Ron muttered, agreeing with Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione, sharing their unspoken thought, looked intently at Chu Yang and said, half defiant, half resigned: “Itachi’ll probably come first this time—but only this once. I promise, in every exam after this, my scores will be higher than yours!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he knew Hermione was wrong about the Sorting Ceremony, Chu Yang still felt a headache coming—he couldn’t concede on this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hogwarts showed clear favoritism toward geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Guanghuan  of exceptional learning ability and being the youngest could grant Chu Yang minor privileges, like reading books forbidden to ordinary students in the library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, professors and teachers were more willing to give extra tutoring to gifted students—knowledge Chu Yang could gain from all of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the first-years speculated wildly, Professor McGonagall hurried to the infirmary and found Madam Pomfrey treating Malfoy, while Hagrid stood anxiously nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hagrid!” Professor McGonagall called softly as she entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! Professor McGonagall!” Hagrid jumped, avoiding her gaze with guilty unease—strictly speaking, this was his fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam Pomfrey, how is the boy?” Professor McGonagall stepped closer, concerned. “Should we transfer him to St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, Professor McGonagall,” Madam Pomfrey smiled. “This student merely drank some dirty water and caught a cold from the chill. He’ll be fine after a few days’ rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall exhaled in relief, then turned to Hagrid. “Before I came, I heard some wild stories from the children. Can Itachi tell me what actually happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid scratched his head: “When I turned around, he was already in the lake. I didn’t see how he fell in—but something was definitely in the water then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall declared firmly: “We all know the Black Lake has magical creatures, but not in that area. The protected zone was established long ago by treaty with them—they wouldn’t dare attack students under Dumbledore’s watch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“More likely, someone used magic—an offensive spell against a fellow student is a grave offense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid immediately shook his head: “Professor McGonagall, I was right there—I felt no magical disturbance. Besides, all those students left their wands on the train. Itachi don’t seriously think one of them is strong enough for wandless magic, do Itachi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hagrid, not everyone follows the rules,” Professor McGonagall said, taking a deep breath. “After the Sorting Ceremony, I will check each student for hidden wands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",993,"2026-06-20T16:23:12.107Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a474b3f0cfe311f2b7aeb40c566b1c12b88a28322b082d52438bcb0aebf1c538","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-from-narut-chapter-31","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-from-narut-chapter-29",498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-from-narut-cover.jpg"]
