The banquet hall doors opened, and the young wizards all gasped in surprise.
At that moment, several ghosts crawled out from the wall, frightening the young wizards.
Hao Yun was already immune to this. He was initially frightened, but after getting used to it, he stopped caring.
These ghosts are always elusive; they might just pop out from the wall next to you at any moment.
"Quiet!"
Dean McGonagall put on a stern face, and the young wizards immediately stopped talking.
Following behind Dean McGonagall, the young wizards entered the banquet hall in an orderly fashion.
The senior students, who had been waiting for a long time, cheered to welcome the young wizards.
Hao Yun, walking at the very back of the group, attracted the attention of countless people.
People pay attention to Hao Yun not because he is handsome, but because he is so outstanding. Among people whose average height is only a little over one meter, Hao Yun is like a giant.
At the Ravenclaw College dining table, three girls waved to Hao Yun.
"We absolutely have to choose Ravenclaw!"
Hao Yun glanced at them and awkwardly touched his nose.
The Sorting Ceremony officially began, and the young wizards were assigned to various houses.
When McGonagall read out Harry Potter's name, the restaurant fell silent.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Harry Potter walked somewhat timidly to the Sorting Hat and put the dirty hat on his head.
After a brief struggle, the Sorting Hat shouted.
"Gryffindor!"
The people at the Gryffindor table began to cheer, after all, the Savior's reputation was still very strong.
After everyone had been assigned their tasks, it was finally Hao Yun's turn.
Under Dumbledore's watchful gaze, Hao Yun reluctantly walked up to the platform and put the Sorting Hat on his head.
Before Hao Yun could even react, the Sorting Hat had already shouted.
"Gryffindor!"
Hao Yun looked at Dumbledore and thought to himself, "You old bastard, how could you trick me like this?"
Dumbledore raised his glass with a smile, his expression revealing his smugness.
At the Ravenclaw dining table, the three girls who knew Hao Yun sighed, wondering why it wasn't Ravenclaw.
Hao Yun glared at Dumbledore, then turned and walked toward the Gryffindor dining table.
"Brother, you really are a new recruit? I think you're older than all of us!"
Hao Yun had just sat down when the Weasley twins came over.
Hao Yun had a good impression of these two lively brothers, so he casually explained.
"My situation is a bit special. In a few days, I might become your classmate or senior."
The twin brothers exchanged a glance. "Can you skip grades at Hogwarts? How come we didn't know that?"
Dumbledore spoke up at this moment, standing up and tapping his wine glass.
"Welcome, new little wizard! Without further ado, let the banquet begin!"
Dumbledore clapped his hands, and the house-elves who had been waiting for a long time quickly brought the food to the table.
The twin brothers sitting next to Hao Yun noticed that the food in front of Hao Yun was completely different from the food in front of them.
"Hello, I'm George, and this is Fred. Why is the food in front of you different from ours?"
Hao Yun picked up a piece of braised pork rib and said to him with a smile.
“I know the house-elves in the kitchen; they prepared this especially for me.”
The twin brothers exchanged a glance, then leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
Do you know where the kitchen is?
Hao Yun nodded. The twin brothers looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, chuckled mischievously and asked.
"Can you tell us where the kitchen is? In return, we can tell you a few secret passages."
“That’s right, those secret passages are very well hidden. Even the administrator, Filch, doesn’t know about them. If you go out for a night stroll and get caught, you don’t have to worry about being caught by Filch. How about we exchange information?”
The twin brothers had been searching for a long time but couldn't find the kitchen. Now that they heard Hao Yun knew where the kitchen was, they were immediately excited.
"Okay, I'll take you there tonight."
Hao Yun's answer made the twin brothers excitedly give each other a high five.
"Going for a night stroll on the first day of school is such a great choice!"
"By the way, you're a new student, this must be your first time at Hogwarts, right?"
The twin brothers suddenly realized, how did Hao Yun, a freshman, know the location of the kitchen?
“I stayed here during the holidays, but I was thrown out to take the train because school started.”
Thinking of this, Hao Yun couldn't help but glare at Dumbledore.
"That's so cool!"
The twin brothers thought Hao Yun was to their liking, so they decided to take Hao Yun for a nice night out.
Ron, who was being ignored, glanced helplessly at the twins and then began to eat heartily.
The Weasleys are definitely the worst off among pure-blood families.
There were many children in the family, and they were poor. The wizard robes, wand, and pet that Ron wore were all leftovers from his older brothers.
Upon arriving at Hogwarts and encountering so much delicious food, Ron was too lazy to think too much and decided to fill his stomach first.
After dinner, Dumbledore warned the students, forbidding them from going to the Forbidden Forest and the right-hand corridor on the third floor.
Looking at the excited twin brothers beside him, Hao Yun felt that Dumbledore might as well not have said those words.
The audacious twin brothers would definitely dare to take a stroll down the third-floor corridor.
Led by the prefect, Hao Yun followed the young wizard back to the Gryffindor common room.
All first-year students share a dormitory room with four people.
As for Hao Yun, he had his own room, which was a small privilege.
At midnight, the twin brothers sneaked into Hao Yun's room.
"Are you ready? Let's go for a night tour!"
"Let's go, I'll take you to the kitchen first."
Hao Yun got out of bed and led his twin brothers toward the kitchen.
Hogwarts is very quiet at night.
As he turned down a corridor, George couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Do you think we might run into Filch?
Fred covered his mouth and whispered.
"Shut your mouth!"
Hao Yun, who was walking ahead, stopped and turned around helplessly.
"George, you really have a jinx! Run!"
At the corner of the corridor, Filch's cat came out, looked at Hao Yun and the other two, and let out a piercing scream.
"Run!"
The twin brothers grabbed Hao Yun and quickly ran down the stairs, then pulled him up to the second floor.
"Quickly, get into the secret passage!"
Fred turned the statue, and a passage appeared in the wall.
The three quickly slipped into the secret passage, and as they listened to the approaching footsteps, they all held their breath.
As the footsteps faded into the distance, Fred breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at George.
"You jinx! From now on, if you go out at night, I'll definitely stick your mouth shut!"
"It's not my fault, Filch just happened to be passing by."
No matter how George tried to explain, Hao and Yun decided to shut him up.
"Come with me."
Upon exiting the secret passage, Hao Yun discovered that they had returned to the third floor.
"Huh? Isn't this the right-hand corridor on the third floor that the principal mentioned?"
George stood in the corridor, looking around.
"That seems to be the case. How about we go explore for a bit first?"
After Fred finished speaking, George nodded in agreement.
The two looked at Hao Yun, who sighed. "You two are really lawless. This is an adventure challenge that Dumbledore prepared for the savior."
Chapter 274 Night Visit to Hogwarts
"How about we explore the area first, and then go to the kitchen?"
The twin brothers put their arms around Hao Yun, their faces bearing malicious smiles.
"I'm really fed up with you two. Let's go."
Hao Yun was too lazy to refuse. Anyway, the three of them couldn't handle Cerberus, and even if they found out, they would have to run away, so it wouldn't be considered disrupting Dumbledore's plan.
Under Hao Yun's watchful eye, the twin brothers quickly found the room where the three-headed dog was hidden.
