Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 21 Black Lake
All the students gathered in a dark and broken platform.

The crowd is dense and crowded, which adds a bit of heat to the cold night.

In the chaos, a loud voice almost suppressed all the noise, "Freshmen! First-years, come here! Harry, come here, are you okay?"

Seeing Hagrid's tall figure, Harry felt much better, and felt a sense of comfort in his heart.

Hagrid was carrying a bronze lamp almost three times the size of a normal lamp. It was lit on three sides, and red, white, and yellow lights shone in the dark.

The yellow side is shining brightly, dispelling the darkness.

"Are there any first-year students? Are there any more?" Hagrid counted the number of people in the crowd, and then brought Harry by his side, "Is it all there? Alright! All the first-year students follow me!"

"Watch out for your feet!"

The road under their feet was very slippery and slippery. In addition, it was a narrow path leading to a steep mountain. All the first-year students stumbled and stumbled.

McGuffin waved his wand and used 'luminescent flashes' to illuminate the path under his feet.

Hermione followed Harry and the others, and kept introducing Neville, "This is the road that the first batch of students passed through when Hogwarts recruited students for the first time. After a while, we will take a boat to pass through the black lake and the cliffs full of hanging vines, and finally pass through a tunnel to reach Hogwarts. It is said that when the school was first established, there was no magic that could cover the campus, and there was no teleportation magic. School,... and later it became a portkey.... Finally, in the last century, all the new students were picked up at the Ministry of Magic.  …"

Hagrid led the first graders to a black lake, and a magnificent castle stood on a hill on the other side of the lake.

"That's—" McGuffin murmured,

"Welcome to Hogwarts..." Hagrid said with a slight trembling beard.

Under the night sky, MacGuffin stared at the majestic castle, the black spiers, the flickering lights in every window, the big moon across the sky, and the night carriage flying by in a flash.

Is this - Hogwarts?

All the emotions in McGuffin's heart (previous anger, worry) disappeared, only the yearning for Hogwarts remained.

Harry, Ron saw his spirits refreshed and less listless.

That's the magic of this school! !
"Four people in a boat, don't be crowded, everyone boards slowly, be careful not to fall." Hagrid shouted.

McGuffin dawdled and didn't want to sit with Audio-Technica, he was very clueless.

I think that what happened just now became troublesome because of getting together with their team of 'professionals'.

He no longer wants to be involved in the plot events.

However, somehow, at the end there were only MacGuffin and Malfoy still watching each other on the shore.

"What the hell~!" McGuffin's head was full of question marks, what the hell is going on?

"Is he trying to push us down and drown us?" Goyle took a few steps back.

"Idiot, if you run away now, doesn't it seem that we holy pure-bloods are afraid of a Muggle-born wizard, not to mention my father is a member of the school board, he killed me, he was expelled, and he and his despicable Muggle family will be arrested in Azika class." Malfoy was no longer afraid at this time.

"Maybe...he understands the nobility and power of our pure-blood wizards, maybe—begging us for mercy." Crabbe raised another possibility, but seeing him trying to hide behind Goyle's ass, he also knew that he didn't really believe his explanation.

In the moonlight, Malfoy felt that all the little wizards on board around him were whispering and laughing at him.

This time, he must prove the nobility of his blood, the glory of his family, and wash away the shame he encountered on the train just now.

"Hmph!" Malfoy deliberately showed his contempt and arrogance to the MacGuffin in front of the little wizard and his own small group, and he walked towards the ship bravely.

He wanted to show these purebloods that he was not afraid of the Muggle-born wizard.Just in case... two meat shields are needed.

So Malfoy forced Goyle and the two of them to follow slowly behind his robes, step by step, and finally came to the side of the boat.

The faces of the two of Gore were as ugly as if they had eaten a stool.

"Hurry up and get on the boat!" Hagrid walked over from behind, seeing the huge black shadow pressing over, they trembled and hurried onto the boat.

The boat was enchanted, but the wizard who cast the magic must not have expected this situation——

McGuffin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and watched the three of them huddled together into a pile of fleshy balls on the other side of the boat, "Come here, don't you see that the boat is about to capsize?"

Under the weight of Malfoy and Goyle, the boat already seemed a little unstable, wobbly, and looked like it was about to topple over.

"If you don't go over, I will go over." McGuffin threatened to walk up to the three of them.

Goyle and Crabbe looked at each other, and immediately pushed Malfoy from behind, staggering him over, almost falling into the lake.

Malfoy turned and glared at the two of them.

"All aboard?" Hagrid called at this moment, all by himself in a boat.

"Then- let's go!" Hagrid knocked on the hull of the boat where he was sitting alone with his small umbrella.

All the boats quickly rowed across the mirror-like lake and headed for the castle.

Each ship was casted by magic, and moved forward like an arrow. The students sat on it very smoothly, as if they were on the ground, without the slightest shaking at the beginning.

On Harry's boat, Ron looked at the position of McGuffin with some concern. He was not worried about McGuffin, but—"What the hell is McGuffin doing? Why are you sitting in the same boat with Malfoy? Isn't it still... like that?"

"He wouldn't want to push Malfoy and the others into the lake?" Harry immediately gave an accurate guess.

"No way?" Ron originally wanted to say that McGuffin was not that kind of person, but the scene of Malfoy floating in the air appeared in his mind, and his heart trembled, and he couldn't continue.

On the other side, McGuffin and Malfoy sat on the side of the boat, while Goyle and Crabbe tried to turn their heads in other directions on the lake, afraid to see something they didn't want to know.

McGuffin didn't speak at first, just looked at Malfoy until he was hairy all over, and then turned his attention to Hogwarts Castle on the other side of the lake.

At this moment, Malfoy straightened up with all his strength, stared at the face of McGuffin, posed his tone, and said in the most contemptuous and calm tone he thought, "Muggle wizard, I guess you now know from Weasley that my father is a member of the Hogwarts board of directors. You'd better beg me for mercy before my father finds out that you are foolishly provoking the noble Malfoy pure-blood family. Maybe I will intercede with you and let you see Hogwarts before being kicked out. Haha Haha!!"

After he finished speaking, he pretended to be calm and laughed a few times, letting his voice spread to other small boats passing by.

"Who is this...?"

"Malfoy wasn't so stupid in the plot!"

McGuffin didn't pay attention to the smart child version of Malfoy in front of him. In contrast, all his attention was occupied by the gradually clearer-than-magnificent and magical castle in the movie.

Hogwarts, here I come! ! !

I was very excited, and the tune of [Hedwig March] naturally echoed in my mind.

To put it bluntly, he is about to become a freshman at Hogwarts, able to learn magic, and start a magical life journey. This kind of emotion is incomparably exciting. McGuffin's mind is completely full of expectations for Hogwarts. Any other thoughts and emotions have no room in his brain at this time.

As the tune kept spinning in his mind, there was only one thought in his mind - I'm going to Hogwarts!
When the mood was surging to the extreme, McGuffin couldn't control himself, he—he was on the top again.

This guy stood up directly, waving his hands and feet indiscriminately with his temper, turning his head and hips, and doing all kinds of weird 'secondary' dance moves.

If the traveler receives the 'Hogwarts Notice' like McGuffin, he will be unable to control himself as usual.Even worse.

Everyone has danced alone or done something stupid by themselves! !Especially when that person is really emotional.

It's just for one person, just don't execute the punishment publicly!
Otherwise, it will become a dark history of a lifetime, and it can make the sober self explode on the spot and travel to the sky.

……

Malfoy was close to the edge of the boat, holding his wand tightly, remembering the spells he knew,

Beware of the other party becoming angry and attacking himself or saying that this is what he wants, if this is the case, this mudblood can be imprisoned in the Azikaban Prison.But unexpectedly, this disgusting Muggle wizard stood up with a frenzied face, his hands and feet were dancing wildly, and he kept twitching, as if he was suffering from hysteria.

"This mudblood is crazy!!" Malfoy yelled in his heart.

This way the situation is different, even if you lose your life, others will just say that the fool of the Malfoy family will be killed by a mad Muggle...

Malfoy tried his best to hide his existence, his own noble blood was not worth dying for such a madman.

"Fucking idiot, idiot, FKKKK!!!! How can the school admit a madman?"

In the moonlight, in the shadows, the McGuffin's limbs are waving wildly, all of which look more crazy and terrifying, and Malfoy can't help but think of the crazy Muggle in the book "Crazy Muggle XX" (Malfoy can't remember the name) when he was a child.

Father,...this is not the Hogwarts I expected, Malfoy shouted frantically in his heart.

"Isn't that guy... crazy!"

Crabbe and Goyle were further back in the boat at the other end, almost falling.

……

When the cliff full of vines covered the fantasy castle of Hogwarts, McGuffin gradually woke up, recovered from the emotions above, and calmed down.

Only then did he realize what he had just done:
MacGuffin-me-dancing?
His sanity—exploded instantly!
This NM is—public execution!
McGuffin can't wait to send 'forget it all' directly to everyone or himself to erase the memory of that awkward dance.

Looking left and right, fortunately the boat I was on was at the back of the formation, and the students on other boats around were watching the magical scene ahead.

The vines hang down from the cliff, shining with emerald green fluorescence, the water is rippling, and the shimmering light is sparkling on the lake, matching each other, reflecting the half-tooth-shaped passage like a dream.
