Hogwarts, the orientation ceremony for new students.
Students from other grades were already seated around four long tables, with thousands of candles floating in the air above them illuminating the auditorium.
Four tables were set with gleaming gold platters and wine glasses.
Another long table was placed on the stage at the head of the auditorium, which was for the teachers.
Professor McGonagall led the first-year students over there and had them line up facing all the upperclassmen, with the teachers behind them.
The candlelight flickered, and hundreds of faces watching them resembled pale lanterns. Ghosts, too, mingled among the students, gleaming with a hazy silver light.
Professor McGonagall gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first-year students, and then placed a topped wizard's hat on the stool.
The hat was patched, worn out, and extremely dirty.
Everyone in the auditorium stared at the hat in complete silence.
Then, the hat twisted, and a wide slit appeared, like a mouth the hat began to sing:
You might not think I'm pretty.
But never judge a book by its cover.
If you can find a more beautiful hat than mine
I can eat myself.
You can make your top hats jet black and shiny.
Make your top hats smooth and crisp.
I am the Sorting Hat of Hogwarts!
Nature is far superior to your hats.
Any thoughts hidden in your mind,
They couldn't escape the Sorting Hat's sharp eyes.
Try it on and I'll tell you.
Which college should you be assigned to?
You may belong to Gryffindor.
There lies the courage buried deep in one's heart.
Their courage, spirit, and chivalry
This makes Gryffindor stand out;
You may belong to Hufflepuff.
The people there are honest and loyal.
Hufflepuff students are persevering and honest.
Undeterred by arduous labor;
If you are smart,
Perhaps the wise old Ravenclaw will be included.
Those wise and learned people,
They would always meet their kindred spirits there;
Maybe you'll go to Slytherin.
Make true friends here.
But those cunning and treacherous people will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
To achieve their goals.
Come on, put me on! Don't be afraid!
Don't panic!
In my hands (even though I don't even have one hand).
You are absolutely safe.
Because I am a thinking magic hat!
Looking at the amazing scene before him, Jack couldn't help but exclaim, "I've traveled through time again!"
This time, I've traveled to the world of Harry Potter!
After all, the Sorting Hat is unique, and the four houses Griffin, Eagle, Snake, and Badger cannot be found in any other world.
He was once just an ordinary person, but due to an accident, he was transported to the world of Naruto and became a member of Konoha Village.
With his familiarity with the plot, Jack gradually became one of the world's most powerful ninjas, instantly killing Kaguya Otsutsuki with a single blow.
Over several decades in the ninja world, he learned all the ninjutsu in the entire ninja world, obtained the Rinnegan, and even sealed the complete Ten-Tails - the God Tree - inside his body, gaining unlimited chakra.
Therefore, he was known in the ninja world as a true god walking in the world, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, bringing the dead back to life, and being omnipotent.
Who knew that after only a few days of comfortable living, I would be transported to a new world!
After Jack transmigrated, he landed at Hogwarts School and had a friendly exchange with Headmaster Dumbledore.
You know what, you really shouldn't say that!
While magic in the Harry Potter world may not have the same offensive power or wide range as ninjutsu, it is still quite magical.
In particular, the three Unforgivable Curses the Cruciatus Curse, the Avada Kedavra Curse, and the Soul Reaper's Curse can inflict damage comparable to ninjutsu if they hit their target.
The other spells also had their own unique uses, which piqued Jack's interest and made him want to study them.
Despite being one of the world's top powerhouses, Dumbledore was almost completely outmatched when facing Jack, the god of the ninja world.
Dumbledore was so thoroughly overwhelmed that he questioned his existence. After destroying a mountain in front of Dumbledore, Jack successfully entered Hogwarts and became a professor.
At this moment, Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, holding a roll of parchment in her hand.
"Whoever I call now, put on your hat, sit on the stool, and await Sorting," she said. "Hannah Abbott!"
A little girl with rosy cheeks and two golden braids stumbled out of the line, put on her hat, which just covered her eyes. She sat down. A moment's pause
"Hufflepuff!" the hat called out.
The people at the table to her right applauded and cheered, welcoming her to their table. Harry saw the fat monk ghost also happily waving to her.
"Susan Bornes!"
"Hufflepuff!" the hat called again. Susan quickly ran to Hannah and sat down next to her.
"Terry Booth!"
"Ravenclaw!"
This time, the second table from the left clapped. When Terry joined them, several Ravenclaw students stood up and shook his hand.
After a long while, "Hermione Granger!"
A girl with thick brown hair and a pair of large front teeth almost ran to the stool and hurriedly put her hat on her head.
"Gryffindor!" the hat cried.
"Draco Malfoy!"
A pale-faced, thin young man swaggered over, and as soon as his hat touched his head, he shrieked, "Slytherin!"
Malfoy went to meet up with his friends Crabbe and Goyle, looking quite pleased with himself.
By this time, there weren't many people left.
Mohn… Nott… Parkinson… then the Pettier twins… then Sallyn Box… finally, it's time for
"Harry Potter!"
As Harry walked forward, a sudden humming or hissing sound, like tiny flames, emanated from the dining room.
"Potter, is she calling me Potter?"
"Is it Harry Potter?"
Even Jack was drawn to the child at this moment. Harry had a thin face, prominent kneecaps, jet-black hair, and a pair of emerald green eyes, and he also wore a pair of black glasses.
Harry Potter, the protagonist of this world, my childhood!
Jack sighed, as if he saw Naruto Uzumaki in him. They shared the same tragic fate and were burdened with the responsibility of saving the world. However, Naruto Uzumaki had the powerful ally Sasuke Uchiha, while Harry Potter had to fight alone.
Now that I'm here, I'm going to change the plot, you mere Voldemort!
Listening to the conversation between the Sorting Hat and Harry Potter, Harry Potter ultimately ended up in Gryffindor.
Albus Dumbledore stood up. He looked at the students with a broad smile, opening his arms to them, as if nothing pleased him more than seeing his students gathered together.
"Welcome!" he said. "Welcome everyone to Hogwarts for the start of the new school year! Before the feast begins, I'd like to say a few words. These are: Idiots! Crybabies! Trash! Squeaks! Thank you all!"
He sat down again, and everyone applauded and cheered.
Dumbledore said to Jack, who was standing beside him, "Professor Jack, please try our food!"
After he finished speaking, various kinds of food appeared on the empty plate in front of Jack: roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steak, boiled potatoes, roasted potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding, pea sprouts, carrots, gravy, ketchup, and so on.
Jack's eyes lit up. This magic was truly amazing; it could even conjure up food!
Jack curiously picked up a potato chip, dipped it in ketchup, and put it in his mouth.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, did all this food just appear out of thin air? That's amazing!"
Upon hearing Jack's praise, Dumbledore smiled and replied, "Of course not. The food was merely summoned from the kitchen. Perhaps a truly powerful wizard can create things out of thin air, just like you."
Jack shook his head. "My magic is just different in nature from yours. Once you learn it, you can easily master wind, fire, thunder, and lightning."
Dumbledore recalled the magic Jack used: flames filling the sky, tornadoes reaching the heavens, and even lightning transforming into a Qilin, which inspired great longing.
This powerful wizard was actually willing to become a professor at Hogwarts and teach his magic, which shocked and delighted Dumbledore.
"I'm really looking forward to Professor Jack's combat magic course! I believe it will revolutionize the entire magic world!"
Dumbledore raised his glass and clinked it against Jack's.
The other professors looked at Jack with curiosity, wondering what this new professor was capable of that allowed him to sit with Principal Dumbledore.
As the professors discussed the food, it slowly disappeared from the table.
Headmaster Dumbledore stood up again. Silence returned to the Great Hall.
"Oh, now that everyone has eaten and drunk their fill, I'd like to say a few more words. At the beginning of the semester, I'd like to point out a few important things to keep in mind."
"Attention first-year students, no student is allowed to enter the wooded area on the school grounds. Some of our teachers should also remember this."
Dumbledore's bright eyes swept towards the Weasley twins.
"Furthermore, Mr. Filch, the administrator, also asked me to remind everyone not to cast spells in the hallways during breaks."
"The Quidditch player selection process will take place in the second week of this semester. Students interested in joining the college team should contact Ms. Hodge."
"I must tell everyone that anyone who does not wish to suffer an accident and die a painful death should not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor."
"Finally, I have some good news to share. This year, Hogwarts will be offering a new course: Combat Magic, which will be taught by Professor Jack, who is sitting next to me!"
"Just between you and me, Professor Jack is a magician whose skills far surpass mine!"
