Necromancers Guide to Magic Chapter 7

Chapter 7: The Sorting Hat and Barrow

“Oh it’s that fool!” A young man with black hair whispered, but Benjamin is still caught it with his ears.

Benjamin suddenly looked back, while using a minor wandless spell silently. The boy suddenly started to look cold from head to toe.

“Frank, what’s wrong with you?” Said the boy next to him. Its barely even September. There was no reason for his companion to be could.

Dumbledore, the white-bearded kind old man seemed to be aware of what happened. But he looked to the side when this happened.

As a necromancer, Benjamin perceived a deal of danger from the old man. It seems that Dumbledore is actually quite powerful. But since it was only a petty trick that he did, the old man decided not to act.

Benjamin laughed and sat quietly in his chair.

“I found he had a nice smile when he smiled,” said Pansy suddenly, though her eyes were still on Draco’s body.

Pansy had the same idea as a lot of other people. They began to doubt the authenticity of the rumors. After all, a famous German magical family, will not let a fool be an heir. It seems that Benjamin had some ability after all.

(Benjamin was a squib (Unable to to control his magical abilities) Before his body was possessed by the MC)

Frank’s strange cold also disappeared. He had doubts that this was Benjamin’s trick. Wandless magic is extremely difficult and even some of the professors here at Hogwarts would have difficulty controlling that kind of magic.

Benjamin calmly put the sorting hat on his head and turned a blind eye to the dust on in.

“Oh, you are, you are a wise wizard, I mean, your knowledge, I have never seen! Strange. Want to go to Ravenclaw? That is a house meant for a genius like you!”

Well, genius, the word did not please Benjamin. Perhaps madman is suitable for him.

“I am a pure blood wizard. According to tradition, I should go to Slytherin.” Benjamin in a deadpan voice told the sorting hat.

“Well, Slytherin is what you wish. May you find sincere friendship in this House. Oh tradition, you old-blooded nobles!” Said the hat in his mind. (The hat is judging him on deciding his house based upon tradition.)

“Slytherin!” Cried the exclamation cap excitedly.

The smallest number of long tables in the corner immediately burst into applause.

“A Slytherin, good. I hope he and rumors are not the same.”

“He came to Hogwarts to prove he wasn’t a squib didn’t he?.”

Chatter arose from the tables as Benjamin went over to the table which housed severous Snape. A teacher with long greasy black hair, who wore black robes. His lips formed a smile. It is good to have a strong teacher and he knew just from his looks. He continued listening on to the names and houses in a bored manner.

After a while a familiar name arose from the hat. “Harry Potter.” The hat seemed to take a while before finally shouting “Gryffindor!!”

Of course, the camp of Gryffindor broke out in fierce applause and cheers.

“Oh, Harry Potter! Really Harry Potter!”

“Haha, I know, he belongs to Gryffindor now!”

“You say, is there really a lightning scar on his head?”

Benjamin listened to the long table Gryffindor heated discussion, the other hand, Slytherin, most of them remain silent, and some face hanging deliberately smirk.

This is his favorite atmosphere!

Harry Potter stood beside the red-haired boy, Ron Weasley was also assigned to the Gryffindor.

When Draco saw it, he sneered, “The Traitor of the Pure

Blood Wizards, the Weasleys.”

Pansy, who immediately issued approval of laughter.

Benjamin? Oh, he will not care about these little children’s minor squabbles.

If you can, he would like to sneak out at night to study the ghost.

Perhaps the specter of the two worlds is different?

Necromancy, this is the world’s most interesting thing to him.

After the ceremony, Benjamin was brought before the table.

Oh, it’s an empty dish, Benjamin knows it must be Dumbledore,

He remembered that white beard old man’s bad taste from his old world. He was a devout follower (except that he was sorry for his mother’s wishful thinking, and later his mother was tarnished by a local clergyman), who had been following his mother to a pastor’s home.

Benjamin had to admit that the priest a little skill, he will divine events. In particular, he prefers to give speeches before meals, to praise himself, and others give him applause, will serve.

Hope this old man is not the case.

Dumbledore stood up unexpectedly from his position, and he smiled and accepted a group of people’s sincere applause.

“He was so popular?” Benjamin asked next to Draco.

Draco “of course”, thought Benjamin’s interrogative sentence to be a positive one. “Well, of course, I mean, my father did not like him.”

“Welcome!” Dumbledore waved to the crowd, “Welcome to Hogwarts and the start of a new year! Before the banquet, I want to tell you a few words. That is: stupid, crying nose, residue, twist! Thank you all! ”

Finished, he sat down, followed by a burst of intense applause.

This is what? Benjamin inadvertently guessed. It is difficult to understand why they applaud from the heart. I hope not to be a arrogant madman when I am that old.

And so he looked to the plate just empty, and now there have been a plate of another orange roast suckling pig, exudes a black pepper aroma steak, oil roasted lamb, pork chops, chicken, fish, French fries and so on.

Since Benjamin had eaten food from the East, such home-made dishes made his mouth water.

I did not know in this world, there could be such delicious food.

Benjamin, who was cutting the fifth-steak, suddenly smelled a bloody smell, and he was sure it was not beef.

He turned around and saw a glimpse of the past. A ghost that was covered in blood.

Benjamin struggled to keep the urge to not laugh. This ghost he was too familiar with.

“Barrow, is it you?” Benjamin used the psychic language, but also the Necromancer and the souls of the language used to communicate.

Many people have asked Benjamin, obviously he and the specter will use English, why have to use psychic language. Benjamin gave the explanation: “Of course, to differentiate.” (He used several languages to communicate with the ghost in order to make it understand clearly his intent.)

Benjamin did not think that he followed his master in the crossing between worlds. The two people even broke up. He became a new ghost, working in a magical school called Hogwarts.

For a traditional ghost in his world,it is actually a bit scary. Ghosts are used to following their masters.

Thanks Merlin, he once again met his master, his eyes will not be wrong, deep, as if a dark ocean, but that … …

“Barrow, can you not speak. Are you dazed?” Benjamin asked again. Although Barlow changed his appearance, but his soul, but Benjamin personally polluted it. The kind of madness, bloodthirsty wonderful atmosphere, it total cannot be mistaken!

“Oh, my master, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” The ghost known to the rest of Hogwarts as the Bloody Baron said to him. “I have come to you at last after all these years.”
