"What? After hearing this, you suddenly don't know what to choose?"
Facing Lucas' inquiry Harry nodded sheepishly.
"Don't be confused, the Sorting Hat will make decisions for you."
"The sorting hat?"
"Merlin's beard, just pretend you haven't heard anything. The details of the sorting ceremony are not allowed to be leaked."
Lucas said playfully to the two of them.
Seeing him like this made Harry and Hermione even more curious about the sorting ceremony.
Diverting the topic Lucas continued to answer Harry's questions.
"Although I have known you not long ago, I think you are more suitable to go to Gryffindor or Slytherin. In these two houses you will gain a lot."
Hearing Slytherin Harry frowned slightly, and there was still a little disgust in his eyes.
Lucas didn't expect him to change his view of the Snake house all at once, after all, it is quite troublesome to change preconceived ideas.
Especially to reverse the idea of an 11-year-old rebellious child.
"Mr. Grindelwald, what house do you think I'll be sorted into?"
"Oh~ beautiful lady, I thought we were already friends, but you are acting so unfamiliar with me."
"Okay, Lucas, please answer my question."
Lucas smiled slightly and Hermione rolled her eyes.
Still, she got a reply from Lucas · Admissions Counselor · Grindelwald.
"Ms. Hermione, who is smart and eager to learn, and Ravenclaw, which is for the wise and knowledgeable, I believe that house will be the most suitable for you."
"Hmph, of course!"
Hermione's smug look shows that she is very satisfied with Lucas' answer.
The relaxed and happy atmosphere among the three gradually spread to the outside of the carriage.
The laughter attracted the attention of people outside.
Harry looked at the blond boy across from him.
Through the communication just now he could see that Lucas' status was special.
'Perhaps the nobles of the wizarding world are not all like Ron said.'
Looking at the knowledgeable, elegant and polite Lucas improved his opinion of nobles quite a bit.
Out of the corner of his eye, Lucas caught Harry's expression and his smile widened a bit.
Just when the three of them were chatting happily Ron Weasley, who had been away for a long time, returned to the carriage.
"Hey guys, what have you been talking about?"
Seeing his friend come back, Harry immediately said, "We're talking about the four houses."
"Lucas, Hermione, this is Ron Weasley, my friend."
Facing Harry's introduction.
The two of them smiled and nodded to Ron.
Ron, on the other hand, was a little smug, as if he was proud of Harry's words, after all, he was a friend personally admitted by the famous Harry Potter.
Other people might also behave in the same way as Ron.
"Nice to meet you, what house do you want to go to? Gryffindor is my favorite, my older brothers are there and all my family has gone there as well, so I think I'll probably be sorted into Gryffindor too. After all, it is the best house. How about you? Have you decided which house you are going to?"
When Ron mentions that all his family is from Gryffindor there was a proud expression on his face.
Hermione was just about to say something but it was interrupted by Lucas on the side before she could start.
"I think I'll probably go to Slytherin."
As soon as the words came out Ron's expression was immediately filled with disgust.
He even looked at Lucas and said under his breath, "Oh, evil Slytherin."
"Mr. Weasley, don't you know it's rude to say that about someone else?"
Hermione stood up and looked down at Ron Weasley in his seat.
"I think what Lucas said is very reasonable. The four houses have their own strengths. If you don't understand, why do you insist that everyone in Slytherin is evil?"
"Slytherins are dark wizards, they're all Death Eaters, everyone knows that" Ron murmured dissatisfied at being told.
Hermione sneered.
"Impulsive, reckless, you are a good fit for Gryffindor, but you don't take these shortcomings as a sign of bravery, do you?"
"Just like before, you laughed at other people's names. This is extremely impolite behavior, but you don't seem to think you are at fault?"
In terms of quarrels, how could the clumsy Ron be Miss Know-it-all's opponent.
Ron looked aside at Harry as if asking his friend for help, but after the conversation just now Harry didn't think that what Hermione was saying was wrong.
Instead, hearing what Ron said, the savior of the wizarding world frowned subconsciously.
Seeing that Harry didn't help, Ron lost all confidence. He shrunk his body on the seat, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Lucas came to Hermione's side.
"Well, I believe Mr. Weasley didn't mean to be rude."
"But Mr. Weasley, I still suggest that you get to know more about people from the other three houses, maybe you will find something different."
"The train is about to arrive at the station. I'll go back first. As a friendly reminder, change into your school robes in advance, otherwise there will be trouble."
Looking at Lucas who was about to step out of the compartment Harry stood up hastily and said: "Thank you for everything, Lucas."
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new achievement: Friendship of the Boy-who-lived, rewards: 200 achievement points, 20 gold Galleons.]
Lucas smiled and walked to his compartment.
"Hermione, you go back to our carriage first, I'll go to Draco's place to have a look, that child was spoiled by his parents so he might still be angry now."
Hermione nodded with a smile, and walked into the carriage.
Lucas arrived at the compartment where Draco Malfoy is. Before entering the door, he could hear shouts of Draco complaining about the stupid Potter and Weasley from the inside.
Crash!
The door was opened by Lucas who gave Goyle and Crabbe a cold look.
"You two go out first!"
The two glanced at Draco before making a decision and seeing the other party nodding, they hurried out of the compartment.
Draco looked at Lucas with a cold face, his anger reduced a lot but there were still some signs of it.
"Lucas..."
"Do you know where you went wrong?"
Hearing Lucas' question, he was suddenly confused, not expecting the conversation to start in this way.
