The thick smoke of the steam train lingered over the chattering crowd, and cats of various colors walked back and forth under the feet of the little wizards.

Amid the humming of the crowd and the noise of lugging heavy luggage, the owls also screeched, and you answered me.

Sigrid walked through the carriages with her luggage. Among the crowd, the 11-year-old girl looked even more petite and dainty. She was wearing a dark green dress with a stand-up collar and a waist that was embroidered with exquisite and complex patterns, and a black dress that reached to her elbows. The lace-embellished gloves are decorated with dazzling crystal sequins and delicate embroidery. Her well-manicured black curly hair reaches her waist, looking beautiful and mysterious. Her eyebrow-reaching bangs are long and slightly curled, her big dark green eyes are very lively, her small and delicate nose is dotted with a small black mole, which makes her look a little playful and cute, and her tightly pursed cherry lips are soft and full, with a hint of There is no unnecessary expression on the little face with baby fat, and the slightly raised chin reveals arrogance and confidence. At first glance, she looked like a little princess raised by a noble family.

Although Sigrid was as delicate as a doll, she also clearly felt that she was incompatible with the Muggle-style steam train. The little wizards passing by would actively avoid her and try not to let their bodies brush against hers. A piece of clothing.

Finally, she found two acquaintances in a carriage.

"Hi Pansy"

"Hi Daphne"

"Can I sit with you?"

The two little witches in the car were chatting familiarly about their encounters on the train. The two little girls raised their heads to greet her and warmly invited her to sit in.

"Yingardium Leviosa" Sigrid waved her wand gracefully and sent her luggage to the luggage rack on the top of the car. Very good, a success. Before Sigrid could feel proud, a soft and ugly thing jumped down from the luggage rack and brushed against Sigrid's skirt. Sigrid raised her foot in panic and accidentally stepped on it. To its unusually soft body. As soon as it lifted its legs, it struggled out of the box.

"Merlin's beard! What is that disgusting thing?" Sigrid could no longer maintain her ladylike posture. Looking at the hem of her skirt and the suspicious slime on the floor, she wished she could change into a Hogwarts school robe right now.

"Toad, which student's pet should he be?" Pansy looked at her sympathetically.

"I don't know how long it will take to get to school. Let's change into the school uniform first," Daphne suggested gently.

So the three little witches closed the door and changed into their school robes one by one. Although there was no special style, it was still comfortable. Sigrid comforted herself that at least the school robe was not stained by the smelly toads.

The three of them talked about everything from newly bought textbooks to the popular witch costumes, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Knock, knock, knock" the door of the car was knocked gently.

"Come in" Daphne said.

"Hi, Miss Daphne, Miss Pansy, and Miss Sigrid, hello!" A tall boy bowed slightly to the three of them. He has high cheekbones, dark skin and narrow, slightly slanted brown eyes, and looks a little conceited.

Zabini came to see Pansy. The two of them and Draco were playmates who grew up together.

"Hello, Zabini" the three little witches responded politely.

"Ladies, let me tell you a secret. Harry Potter is on the train now. He is also a freshman this year." Looking at the three little witches looking at him, Zabini continued the topic with satisfaction.

"I saw his scar. It was really there, like a lightning bolt. It's so cool." Zabini pointed to his forehead.

"Zabini, do you think he will be a Slytherin?" Pansy was a little curious.

Before Zabini could say anything, the compartment door opened again.

A little witch who had already put on new Hogwarts robes like them came to them. It seemed that she was also a freshman this year. Behind her, there was a fat little wizard.

"Did any of you see a toad? Neville lost a toad," she said. Her long brown hair was so thick and unkempt that it was difficult to take your eyes away from her front teeth when she spoke.

The little wizard who was half-blocked by her was a little chubby and looked submissive. He only looked up at them and then lowered his head with a blush.

Daphne, Pansy and Sigrid looked at each other and finally found the toad's owner. Sigrid couldn't help but look at the two little wizards in front of her with a bit of complaint, wondering why she didn't care about her pet and let it run around.

She didn't want to recall too much what she had just experienced, so she finally pointed to the right side of the corridor.

The little brown-haired witch thanked them with satisfaction, and like a mother chicken, she left the box with the wizard who was a little taller and stronger than her. It looked a bit funny.

After these episodes passed, a loud voice echoed in the carriage, "We will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage in the carriage, and someone will send your luggage to the school in batches. "

Hogwarts is finally here!

The train stopped slowly. The little wizards crowded forward, and Zabini protected the three little witches like a gentleman, and finally squeezed out of the car door. We came to a dark and small platform.

The cold wind was biting, and Sigrid couldn't help but shiver all over. At this time, a dim light danced up and down and swayed left and right above the students' heads. Sigrid heard a voice shouting: "Come this way, all first years!"

Sigrid looked around. Freshmen, probably in their early 100s, stumbled down a narrow and steep path following the sound.

It was dark on both sides of the road, probably dense woods, and almost no one made a sound around.

"Soon you will be able to see Hogwarts for the first time in your life." The loud voice continued, "You will be there just after turning this corner!" The little wizards gradually relaxed, and there was a loud noise around Sigrid. "Wow" praise.

The long and narrow path suddenly opened up, and what came into view was a large black lake. A huge castle with many turrets and towers is located between two high mountains, and the glass of the windows shines under the starry sky.

"A boat can accommodate four people." Sigrid approached and saw the guide who had been talking. He was so tall and burly, with a thick beard and long hair tangled together. Sigrid estimated that she was only as tall as his thigh.

He pointed to a row of boats moored on the shore. Sigrid, Daphne, Pansy and Zabini boarded the same boat. Sigrid and the others waited for a while, and all the boats finally lined up and sailed toward the magnificent castle on the other side of the lake.

After getting off the boat, a group of little wizards climbed up the mountain road full of rocks and cobblestones, and finally gathered in front of the huge oak main entrance of the castle.

After the big man knocked on the door, a tall black-haired witch wearing an emerald green robe walked out of the door.

She pushed the door fully open. The hall inside was astonishingly large, the stone walls illuminated by torches, the ceiling unimaginably high, and the beautiful marble staircase in the front leading upstairs.

They were taken to a small house by the witch. After a brief introduction to Hogwarts, the female wizard suggested that they get dressed and prepare for the sorting ceremony that was about to begin.

After the witch left, the little wizards around her began to whisper to each other, and everyone was curious about the upcoming sorting ceremony.

"My Leif is back!" The round-faced boy I met on the train said excitedly, holding something carefully in his arms.

Then the voice became depressed again, "Poor Leif, he may be injured, he has never been so well-behaved."

"Nawei, be happy, at least we found it." A female voice comforted him next to him.

Sigrid also noticed this conversation, but she will never, never apologize. She is also a victim.

"Toads have been out of fashion for many years. I guess that is probably the only toad in Hogwarts. In the future, you may only see it in the Care of Magical Creatures textbooks," Zabini teased.

Daphne and Pansy looked at Sigrid next to them and covered their mouths and laughed.

Sigrid said disappointedly, "Zabini, this is not funny at all."

"Then I take back what I just said." Zabini looked at the three of them and didn't ask any more questions.

In the anticipation of the little wizards, the sorting ceremony is about to begin.

They filed into the hall. The other senior students were sitting in front of four long tables. There were an estimated seven or eight hundred people in the dark crowd. There were thousands of candles floating in the air above their heads, lighting up the entire auditorium.

There is another long table directly in front of the hall where the professors sit.

There is a pointed wizard's hat placed on a four-legged stool in the middle of the hall. The hat is torn, old and dirty. Sigrid looked away with disgust.

As far as the scene seen so far, it is still in line with Sigrid's aesthetics, except for the eye-catching broken hat. It can actually sing.

"It would be a disaster to have it on your head," Sigrid complained to Daphne next to her.

The witch had already opened the parchment and started reading the names. Sigrid tried hard to look mature and calm, but inside she was actually so nervous that she couldn't even remember the floating spell she had confidently cast on the train. She tried to divert her attention to eliminate the tension. feel.

"George, there are actually twins among the new students." The voice on the long table next to her caught Sigrid's attention.

"Fred, they actually look exactly the same" the same voice sounded next to him.

Sigrid noticed that the two senior students speaking at the long table next to them both had dazzling red hair, were tall and thin, and they looked exactly the same. Even the freckles on their cheeks seemed to be in the same position.

These words coming out of their mouths were really funny. Not only Sigrid noticed them, but also the seniors on the long table were amused.

Daphne and Draco were the first friends Sigrid knew to be sorted, and they all entered Slytherin.

The brown-haired witch who came to find Toad was sorted into Gryffindor.

The identical twin sisters on the long table, one was assigned to Gryffindor and the other to Ravenclaw.

Then it was Harry Potter's turn. The boy who survived sat on a stool with his thin body. The lightning symbol on his forehead really attracted everyone's attention, including the professors on the stage and those walking in the hall. of ghosts.

Except for being a little thin, Harry Potter doesn't look much different from the little wizards around him. Sigrid also focused on Harry Potter on the stage.

"Gryffindor!!"

"Oh!" There were cheers from the long table next to them, especially the two red-haired twins. "Potter, Potter!" "Potter is ours!" The two twins even stood up from their seats and high-fived each other.

"How rude." Sigrid turned her head to the other side in disgust.

Several more young wizards were called, including her friend Siom, who was assigned to Slytherin without any surprise.

"Sigrid Stewart" Sigrid finally heard her name.

It's actually very simple, just walk to the stage, sit down, and put on your hat.

A small voice in my ear said, "I can see that you dislike me. But don't worry, let me see inside your heart. Well... you are eager to prove yourself and want to be noticed. You also have this." Ability, maybe you should check it out.”

"Slytherin" Sigrid interjected quietly.

"Slytherin? Well, it is indeed suitable for you, but do you really not consider my opinion? You will be the center of attention there."

Sigrid, "Slater", did not waver.

"Okay. Slater Lin" branch compromised.

"Thank you!" The little witch finally breathed a sigh of relief and bent her knees slightly. At the same time, she lightly lifted the sides of her skirt with both hands. After nodding to her hat, she came to the Slytherin table and sat down in response to the applause.

On the Gryffindor table.

"It's a pity that I wasn't assigned to Gryffindor." Fred watched the little witch walk away and clapped his hands casually.

"She did go to Slytherin," George said without surprise.

"If her chin wasn't raised so high that I could only see her nostrils, I would be gentler on her," Fred continued.

"Gently say hello to her" George understood what he meant.

The Weasley brothers had already noticed Sigrid, who was lining up next to them.

Although she is petite, she stands very upright and looks very cute. Her raised chin and pursed lips seem to write "I don't want to communicate with you" on her face, which invisibly draws her away from the little wizards around her. Opened the distance.

Whether it is their mother Mrs. Weasley, their sister Ginny, or their classmates Angelina and Aria, they are all sunny, cheerful, confident and flamboyant women. They have never come into contact with such girls.

Fred was sure that the little witch had just secretly paid attention to them when they were discussing the twin sisters. She smiled, although it was not obvious, just the corners of her eyes curled up and her lips moved, but the small mole on her nose immediately made her facial features come alive. Fred thought "she would look sweet when she really smiled".

At another long table, Sigrid said hello to the wizards around her, introduced herself to each other, and sat down in her seat obediently. Everyone was quietly paying attention to the little wizard from the branch, occasionally chatting politely in a low voice. This feeling is very comfortable. After all, she should be in Slytherin!

After the sorting, there was a speech by the principal, and then it was dinner time.

Sigrid remained obedient as she looked at the various foods that appeared on the table at the same time: barbecue, bacon, sausages, steaks, roasted sweet potatoes, French fries, diced potatoes, cakes, carrot thick meat, mint-flavored hard candies, etc. I chose a vegetable salad.

You're going to get fat, Sigrid! she warned herself.

=======================================

After dinner, Sigrid and the other first-year wizards returned to the Slytherin common room under the guidance of prefect Marcus Flint.

Their common room is located underground in the main castle, and I heard that it is half in the lake.

"Remember, the password is pure blood." After Marcus Flint said the password, the door opened immediately. Everyone walked behind the prefects and entered the place where they would live for the next seven years.

The indoor walls are made of black marble, and the crystal-carved transparent ceiling allows you to see the lake and creatures outside.

There were green lights tied with iron chains to the ceiling, and there was a fireplace next to it. It was very gorgeous and looked like a pure-blood wizard family.

Since there are only 24 students in the first grade of Slytherin this year, it is also the fewest among the four houses. They can share a dormitory, which has been allocated in advance. Sigrid's roommate is Susie Nelson.

A sweet and cute little witch with short black hair and some freckles. She is very enthusiastic, as enthusiastic as a Gryffindor.

In less than half an hour, Sigrid learned that Susie's father was a Gryffindor and her parents were both Muggles. Her mother was a pure-blood Ravenclaw and had no siblings. She even suspected that the Sorting Hat assigned her to Slytherin to make up for the number.

Accompanied by the little witch's chatter, Sigrid packed her luggage and arranged her bed, a beautifully carved four-poster bed, a circular ceiling painted with oil paintings, and light green flannel curtains hung at the end of the bed. It is a white ivory wood footstool. On the right is a bedside table of the same style. On the left is a large double-door wardrobe. Next to the wardrobe is a gorgeous dressing table. Sigrid is very satisfied with this large dressing table. Sitting in front of the dressing table, she can still see the unique scenery outside the window.

The bedroom was very spacious. After Sigrid and Susie each occupied half, there was a spacious single sofa, a double sofa and a coffee table in the middle.

After saying goodnight to her owl Snow, Sigrid finally lay down on the big bed. From the content of the letter I will write to my mother tomorrow, I thought of the two sections of History of Magic tomorrow morning. Together with Gryffindor, I thought of the famous Harry Potter and the pushy red-haired twins, and finally fell asleep. go.
