Hogwarts Life Guide

Pets in the wizarding world are very spiritual. Just like owls with automatic search function, pets such as cats and toads can always appear in front of their owners when needed. Of course, this need means that they need it, not that the owner needs it. .They will find their master (or servant?) for feeding on time.

Tangning comforted Neville like this, but Neville still couldn't find his toad until he got off the bus.

However, Tangning noticed that Neville didn't like to get too close to her. Even though he said it was okay, he still couldn't help but care.After discovering this, Tangning did not deliberately approach Neville and separated from Neville when she got out of the car. Miss Granger, who was with them, hesitated for a moment and finally made up her mind to follow Neville.

Miss Granger was very curious about what happened between Tangning and Neville, but Tangning refused to tell her, so the clever Miss Granger turned to the clumsy Neville for a breakthrough.

snort!I will find out the truth!Miss Beaver Speak.

……

Walking on the platform, avoiding the bustling crowds, the cold wind blew across her cheeks. Tangning felt physically and mentally relaxed... Then, Tangning heard Hagrid's loud voice.

"First-year students! First-year students, come over here!" Tangning saw Hagrid, who was twice as tall as the senior students.

"Come over here," Hagrid said with a smile on his bearded face above the sea of ​​thousands of people. "Come on, follow me. Are there any freshmen? Watch your step, okay. Come on! Freshman, follow me!"

Tangning and the others waited beside Hagrid for a long time. They didn't set off until no little wizard came.Hagrid led the little wizards down a steep and narrow path.There was darkness on both sides of the path. Darkness always makes people feel scared, and the little wizards were no exception. No one spoke. Only Hagrid occasionally reminded the little wizards to see the path under their feet.

"Turning this corner, you will soon see Hogwarts for the first time." Hagrid called back.Then there was a loud "Oh——!" A black lake suddenly appeared at the end of the narrow path.On the high hillside on the other side of the lake stands a majestic castle with towering spiers and windows twinkling under the stars.

"Each boat cannot exceed four people!" Standing on the edge of the lake, Hagrid pointed at a bunch of small boats moored on the shore and said loudly.

Tangning got on a boat alone, but as soon as he sat down, he noticed that Malfoy and his two followers were also sitting on the boat. However, this time Malfoy was very quiet and did not even speak to his two followers.However, until now, Tangning didn't know the names of Malfoy's two followers.

Looking at the mess by the lake, Tangning no longer had any hope in Hagrid's organizational skills.But considering that Hogwarts dared to hand over 100 young wizards to Hagrid to lead them through a long dark path without fear of the students getting lost, they must have some insurance measures in place.

"Have you all boarded the boat?" Hagrid shouted. Seeing that the little wizards had all boarded the boat, he took a boat by himself and walked to the front. "Okay then... move forward!"

Following Hagrid, the boat rowed forward on its own across the mirror-flat lake.

"Sure enough, magic is more convenient!" Tangning sighed as she stared at the huge castle reaching into the sky.Hogwarts has been in operation for more than 1000 years, and the castle existed before that. It is estimated that only magic could build such a majestic building in that era that even today looks very majestic.

When passing the cliff near the castle, the castle seemed to tower overhead.

Soon, the boat took the little wizard to the entrance of a tunnel.While checking the empty ship, Hagrid also found Neville's toad.

Then they climbed a tunnel in the rock by the light of Hagrid's lantern, and at last they came to a flat, wet meadow in the shadow of the castle.They climbed a flight of stone steps and gathered in front of a huge oaken door.

"Is everyone here?" Hagrid raised a huge fist and knocked on the castle door three times.

The door immediately opened.A tall black-haired witch wearing emerald green robes stood in front of the door.She looked slightly serious.

"First-year students, this is Professor McGonagall," Hagrid said. "Thank you, Hagrid. Leave it to me to pick you up when you get here." She opened the door wide.

The stone walls in the foyer are surrounded by blazing torches.The ceiling is so high that you can barely see the top.On the front is a luxurious marble staircase leading directly to the upper floor.They followed Professor McGonagall along the stone floor.Professor McGonagall took the first-year students to a small empty room at the other end of the hall.Everyone rushed in, rubbing shoulders and gazing nervously at everything around them.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you go to the restaurant to sit down, you must first confirm which house you are entering. Classification 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. Spend your spare time.”

"The names of the four houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own glorious history and has produced outstanding wizards and wizards. You are in Huo During Gewartz's studies, your excellent performance will earn your house points, and any violations will make your house lose points.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 college you are assigned to, you can win honor for the college."

"In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of all the teachers and students of the school. I suggest that you tidy up and be more energetic while waiting." Her eyes were on Neville's cloak (the cloak belt was tied under his left ear) The dirty thing on Ron's nose moved up.

"I'll pick you up when it's ready over there," said Professor McGonagall. "Please keep quiet while you wait."

Like the trip to the Black Lake that every freshmen would experience before, the Sorting Ceremony is also a repertoire of Hogwarts. However, the former is said to be to let the young wizards feel the arduous process of the school's founders establishing the school, although Tangning did not feel it. If Tangning hadn't vaguely remembered that Hogwarts is sorted by a hat, he would have been deceived by cousin Tonks - before the start of school. In a letter, Miss Tonks described in detail how she defeated a poison horned beast in the sorting ceremony and was sorted into Hufflepuff by the dean. She also said that the school would choose a different one every year. Monster... Moreover, Aunt Anduo, who read the letter, gave Tangning a mysterious smile and immediately urged him to practice Expelliarmus...

Tangning looked around and found that almost everyone around her was in danger.Even Malfoy, who had been by Tangning's side, could tell that he was a little nervous under the firelight. It seemed that even the Malfoy family had inherited this traditional program well.

After all, he was still a spoiled child... Patting Malfoy on the shoulder, Tangning said softly, "Don't worry, the sorting ceremony is actually very simple."

Then, Tangning discovered a kind of existence that he had only seen in books and newspapers - ghosts. There were more than 20 ghosts coming through the wall, scaring many little wizards. There were even some ghosts. Several little wizards screamed on the spot.

After a while, Professor McGonagall came back, "Now, line up and follow me." The ghosts also drifted through the opposite wall and disappeared.

Tangning casually followed a young wizard, and Malfoy followed closely. Perhaps because Tangning had comforted him just now, Malfoy began to ask which college Tangning wanted to go to.Malfoy looked very angry when he learned that Tangning believed that all three houses except Slytherin were acceptable. "The reason why I don't want to go to Slytherin is not because Slytherin is bad, but... forget it, I tell you, you don't understand either." Thinking that Malfoy was full of Slytherin's most awesome ideas, Tangning decided not to explained.As four academies with a history of more than 1000 years, it is difficult to compare their heritage. Even the most low-key Badger Academy has many wizards who are famous in the history of magic, such as the founder of the wizard village next to Hogwarts— —Hangis.

After walking out of the room, passing through the foyer, and passing through a double door, the group entered the luxurious restaurant.Students from other classes in the college were seated around four long tables, above which thousands of candles were floating in the air, lighting up the dining room.Four tables were set with gleaming gold plates and goblets.There is another long table on the table at the top of the restaurant, which is where the teachers sit.

After letting the little wizards line up in front of the teacher's table, Professor McGonagall gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first-year students and placed a pointed wizard's hat on the stool.The hat was patched, worn, and dirty.

There was silence in the restaurant.Then the hat twisted.A wide slit opened in the brim, like a mouth—and the hat began to sing:

You may think I'm not pretty, but don't judge me by my appearance.If you guys can find a prettier hat than mine, I'll eat myself.You can make your bowler hat black and shiny, your top hat smooth and crisp.I am the magic hat used for testing at Hogwarts, so I am naturally superior to your hats.No thought hidden in your mind can escape the devil's hat's golden eyes.Try it on and I'll tell you which house you should be assigned to.

You may belong to Gryffindor, where there are hidden bravery, whose daring, boldness, and boldness make Gryffindor outstanding;

You may belong to Hufflepuff, where the people are upright and loyal, and the students of Hufflepuff are stoic and honest, not afraid of hard work;

If you are shrewd, you may enter wise old Ravenclaw, and those wise and learned will always meet their fellows there;

Maybe you'll go to Slytherin, maybe you'll make sincere friends here, but the cunning and sinister will do whatever it takes to get their way.

Come wear me!Don't be afraid!Don't panic! In my hands (even though I don't even have a hand) you are absolutely safe because I am a thinking magic hat!

After the hat finished singing, the audience burst into applause, and the hat bowed to the four dining tables one by one, and then stood still.

At this time, Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, holding a roll of parchment in her hand. "Whoever's name I call now will put on his hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the sorting." She said, "Han Na Aibo!”
