DNF meets Harry Potter

Chapter 18 The Terminal - Hogwarts

The train gradually slowed down, the whistle blew one last time, spouted a large amount of white smoke, and finally stopped.

One after another, the underage wizards pushed open the door and got out of the car.They are tidying up their school uniforms or cuddling their pets.

Among the crowd, Hagrid's four-meter-tall stature stood out.He held up a lamp and smiled at the little wizards: "Okay, first-year freshman, this way."

"Come on, don't be shy, hurry up, um~, pay attention to your feet, it's a little dark..."

The first years followed Hagrid out of the main group and down a winding path.

Karl knew that they were going to perform an ancient traditional ceremony that Hogwarts had passed down from thousands of years ago-crossing the lake.

Although Hogwarts was donated by the famous wizard Salazar Slytherin in history, it was the four founders who came here in a boat to confirm this idea.

It was pitch black all around, and only Hagrid was leading the way holding the dim oil lamp.

"The school board is too stingy, not to mention the scarcity of scholarships, and the place is so dark, at least install some street lights."

Carl sighed, sighing secretly.

After turning the last small bend, Hagrid held up the lamp in his hand at this time, and at the same time, the little wizards behind all cried out in unison.

Reflected in the sparkling water of the lake, he saw the castle that he had dreamed of in his previous life - Hogwarts!
On the hillside on the other side of the lake, a huge, majestic and majestic castle stands obliquely. Above the castle are many Gothic spires. The moon is half covered by clouds, and windows shine above the starry sky.

"Both get on board, and remember, there can be no more than four people on each boat, otherwise you can go down and sing with the mermaids, I think they will be very happy..." Hagrid directed the first-year little wizards to start Board the boat in an orderly manner and prepare to cross the lake.

"Line up and come one by one! Don't be crowded." Hagrid used his huge body to block the crowd and directed them.

"Are you all on board? Ready, let's go!"

asked Hagrid aloud, and he too was on board by this time.But the difference is that the little wizards all share a boat with four people, and he owns one...

Carl followed Ron and Harry into a boat, accompanied by a timid little boy.

"Hi, hello, can I take a boat with you?" The little boy asked shyly.

"Of course!" Harry agreed immediately.

"My name is Seamus Finnigan, nice to meet you."

Carl: "???"

Could it be that you are the legendary Hogwarts blasting genius?
A ruthless person who can play bombs with a floating spell, can't be provoked, can't be provoked, stay away from the future, and his face will be black when he is bombed, he has just left Africa and entered Europe, and he never wants to go back there A black land.

Well, Hogg's giao (giao) student - Seamus Finnigan, has no doubts.

……

There is only one lamp on the boat, no oars, and it is up to the waves to move.

Following Hagrid's order, the boat began to exert its own strength, and the calm lake water rippled, and it sailed forward.

The little wizards were very excited and kept chatting with those on the same boat, laughing and laughing for a while.

The majestic castle continued to magnify in their eyes, and it was soon within sight.

"Look down!"

Hagrid's boat was pointing straight ahead when a voice came.

Everyone quickly lowered their heads, and what appeared in front of them were vines covering the cliff.

The boat carried the hopeful little wizards to a secret underground open entrance, then followed a dark tunnel to the underground of the castle, and finally appeared at an underground dock to end the ceremony.

Everyone stepped on the ground covered with gravel and small pebbles. Hagrid counted the number with a lamp, and then led the crowd up a tunnel, and finally arrived at a flat and wet grassland under the shadow of the castle.

At the end of the lawn was a long flight of steps, above which was a huge oaken door.

"Ahem, before entering Hogwarts, let me remind everyone that Professor McGonagall, the strictest Hogwarts, will pick you up later, so please be quiet later and don't make any noise. If you offend It wouldn't be good without her."

Hagrid gave everyone a warm reminder.

Everyone walked up the steps to the gate. Hagrid put his huge fist on the lamp and knocked on the gate three times.

Alahoo hole open! (physics)

"Squeak~."

Accompanied by the sound of the door opening, an extremely thin, black-haired middle-aged witch in an emerald green robe and a pointed wizard hat walked towards her.

The appearance of the witch comes with a cool effect. In front of her winter-like aura, many little wizards shut their mouths and stopped chattering and discussing.

This person is Professor Minerva McGonagall, the vice-principal of Hogwarts and the head of Gryffindor.

If you want to say who is the most feared professor among the young wizards in Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall is definitely at the top. Perhaps only the old bat Professor Snape dares to compete for this position.

"Freshman, Professor McGonagall..." Hagrid faltered, avoiding Professor McGonagall's eagle-like eyes.

"It seems that this is the freshman this year. It's not bad. At least it's not as noisy as last year. Thank you, Hagrid, you did a good job of picking up and dropping off this year. Leave the rest to me."

Professor McGonagall smiled, looking extremely satisfied.

Hagrid left in a hurry, it seemed that he was also flustered when facing Professor McGonagall.

Although he said that he would not do anything wrong, he was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.But he went a little too far this time.When he went to pick up Harry Potter during the summer vacation, he repeatedly violated the forbidden use of magic, and even violated the "Muggle Secrecy Act" promulgated by the Ministry of Magic, and changed Dudley into a pig's tail.

And his wand has been broken by the Ministry of Magic, so logically speaking, he is not qualified to use magic again.

Now facing Professor McGonagall's sharp eyes, he felt terrified, and it was time for him to feel guilty.

"Boom!"

Professor McGonagall fully opened the door, revealing an extremely luxurious marble staircase.With a wave of her hand, the torch hanging on the wall immediately ignited spontaneously, illuminating the surrounding murals.

The ancient murals show the powerful background of Hogwarts. The safest place in the entire British wizarding world is not a bragging. Gringotts was cleared by Voldemort and Quirrell, but it has not been captured for so long This old castle.

The freshmen quickly followed Professor McGonagall's footsteps, and they were silent for a while.

Except for Harry, Ron and Carl, every little wizard has a heavy face. It is obvious that the fine traditions of Hogwarts every year are affecting their mood. After all, they cannot pass the sorting test. Gewartz was expelled and eliminated, which is a huge humiliation comparable to that of a Squib.

Hmm~, although there is only such a magic academy in England...

Professor McGonagall did not take them directly into the auditorium, but took them into a small empty room next to the hall.
