Primordial Warlock of Hogwarts

The moon is now in the sky.

But shadows lurked on the ground.

The projected moonlight showed the outline of a castle. After passing the corner, a black lake appeared in front of us, and the shape of the moon was reflected on the lake.The fake moon breaks and reorganizes on the lake, and together with the unstable moist and cold wind, it brings superimposed visual and tactile feelings.

If it were just like this, it would be just pure natural scenery, not unusual. But if the outline of the castle shines with yellow light, it will suddenly look different, highlighting the fit between human creation and nature, making the standing castle No longer obtrusive.

Hagrid walked all the way to the edge of the lake, pointed at a group of boats and shouted, "No more than four people in each boat!"

"The humidity is too high," DeWitt rubbed his sleeves. Before everyone found the boat, he heard someone complain: "Why can't we go with the seniors?"

After sitting in these light boats, water will flow in from time to time. If you are lucky, it will only wet the corners of your clothes. If you are not lucky, your shoes will also get soaked. And DeWitt doesn't like water-if he doesn't have to, he will Don’t want to go near any water source – what if you drown?So even this method of admission disgusted him, but he didn't say anything.

"This is the path that every freshmen takes. It is said that it is so that we can experience the hardships of the founder of Hogwarts in finding the location of the castle." As expected, it was Hermione. She did know a lot. She lowered her voice and explained: "Say Maybe there is another deeper meaning, but we can’t see it.”

Under Hagrid's loud shouting, the oarless boat left the shore and floated on the lake on its own.This is probably some kind of magic, but the driving is not stable.

The closer you get to the castle, the more you feel the power of height and thickness.When they came to the cliff under the castle, there was no road ahead, but Hagrid ignored him. He gave the order like commanding an invincible fleet: "Lower your head——"

So the boat at the front passed through the ivy tent that was cleverly integrated with the cliff, and drove into the dark tunnel one by one. After a deep journey, it did not suddenly become clear, and it was still dark.

After everyone disembarked, Hagrid found Neville's toad in the hold while inspecting the ship.The boy who had been sobbing all the way finally became happy. He didn't know whether he really liked it or was just glad that he could avoid being lectured about losing his pet.

Taking up the responsibility of team leader again, Hagrid held up a light and asked the new students to go up a tunnel.Back on the ground, the shadow of the castle has engulfed everyone, which means that just one more flight of steps will lead you to the main entrance.

"Are they all here? Look, is your toad still there?" Hagrid was deeply impressed by Neville and the toad. After receiving a positive answer, he raised a huge fist and walked toward the castle gate. Knocked three times.

This heavy door does not appear bulky when activated, but opens smoothly and quickly.Immediately, an extremely long figure appeared from the door. With the light behind him, his face could not be seen clearly. All he could see was that the man's wide-brimmed hat had a crooked peak.

Just like the classic old witch in fairy tales.

After the students got closer, DeWitt also saw the witch's face clearly - it was very old, with many wrinkles. It couldn't be said to be good-looking, but it wasn't even close to being ugly. Most of them had a serious old teacher temperament, and the emerald green robe was very... Liangli seems to be a person who is not easy to talk to. For students, this kind of teacher is not easy to fool.

"First-year freshman, Professor McGonagall," said Hagrid.

"Thank you, Hagrid. Leave it to me to pick you up when you get here." From the beginning to the end, Professor McGonagall's biggest expression was just a slight nod to Hagrid, and then she glanced at all the freshmen and directed them to pass by. A door with a loud noise entered a small room.

Only when he came inside did DeWitt realize that there were only so many freshmen, and they couldn't even fill a small room.If every new wizard in the UK eventually comes to study at Hogwarts... then the number here is actually a bit small.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said. "The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you take your seats in the auditorium, you must first confirm which house you will enter. Sorting is a It is a very important ceremony, because while you are at school, the college is like your home at Hogwarts. You will have classes with other students in the college, stay in the college dormitories together, and spend time together in the common room of the college. After school time.

"The names of the four colleges are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each college has its own glorious history and has produced outstanding wizards. You are in Hogg While Watts is in school, your outstanding performance will earn your house points, and any violations will lose points for your house.At the end of the year, the house with the highest score will win the house cup, which is very high Honor. I hope that no matter which house you are assigned to, you will bring honor to the house.

"In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of the teachers and students of the whole school. I suggest that you tidy up yourselves and be more energetic while waiting."

Before leaving briefly, Professor McGonagall once again glanced around with intimidating eyes, making many people wonder if there was something wrong with their appearance. Until she left the small room, the noisy discussions suddenly became fierce. got up.

"It's over," Ron began to panic, which also awakened Harry's bad memory, reminding Harry of what he said - "Someone will be seriously hurt during the sorting ceremony", and now Ron said it loudly Once again, and uncontrollably changed to "everyone will be harmed".

So the rumors began to ferment from here, and gradually evolved into "the sorting ceremony requires a fight with a troll", then "what troll? It's obviously a fire dragon", and finally "Hogwarts has five houses, and the political review is not up to standard." Straight away to Azkaban."

Is there such a provision?DeWitt didn't quite believe it and didn't understand. His original purpose of coming here was to find out why his name appeared in other places and whether it was related to a curse. Later, he came up with the idea of ​​​​learning more. If it is true If he wanted to send such an innocent child to prison for no reason, he had to do his best and make some weak resistance.

Just as DeWitt was thinking about which spell he would use later, Hermione on the other side was also reciting the spells she knew.

Everyone fell into a contradictory state of expectation and fear. They wanted Professor McGonagall to come in immediately, but they also wanted to postpone the professor's arrival indefinitely.
