I'm Malfoy's cat

Chapter 7 Arriving at Hogwarts

Jemini followed the crowd down to a dark and small platform, and tried his best to avoid stepping on him with the eyesless feet of this group of little wizards.

The cold night made most of the little wizards feel a little uncomfortable getting off the warm train for a while, and even Jemini, who had a thick fur, shivered twice.

【"Freshman! First-year come this way! Harry, come this way, how are you" (original text)】

A slightly familiar voice overwhelmed the noisy discussions of the little wizards. Jemini was too small, and he could only see countless black figures of little wizards when he looked up. He couldn't be sure where Hagrid was. Where, he could only continue to dodge and follow the crowd.

【Above the crowd of thousands of people, Hagrid smiled on his bearded face. "Come on, come with me, there are still first-year freshmen, watch out for your feet, okay! First-year freshmen come with me!"

They followed Hagrid, slipping and stumbling, what seemed to be down a steep and narrow path.It was dark on both sides of the path, and Harry thought that there should be dense woods on both sides.No one spoke.Only the boy who had lost the toad had an occasional sniff or two.

"Turn this corner, and you're about to see Hogwarts for the first time," Hagrid called back.Then there was a loud "Oh--!" At the end of the narrow path, a black lake suddenly opened up.On the high hillside on the other side of the lake stands a majestic castle with spiers and windows shining under the starry sky. "No more than four per boat!" Hagrid shouted, pointing to a fleet of small boats moored to the shore. 】

Jemini looked at the small boats in front of him with some embarrassment. Should he be alone and ride in a boat with three other people, or wait for the boat to be full and jump on it to follow.

To be honest, Jemini has always been curious about how Hogwarts is sure that there are even numbers of students who come to the school every year, so there is no year when the number of students is not enough.

Jemini walked to the nearest boat, and when he was about to jump on it, Harry and Ron, who also chose this boat, also walked to the boat.

"Hey, whose cat!" Ron yelled loudly while watching Jemini.

Harry on the side recognized the little puppet cat at a glance, and he stepped forward to try to hug him.

"Hey, little guy, why did you come here, where is your master?"

Jemini knew that something was going to happen when he saw Harry approaching. He avoided Harry's hand stretched out to him, and ran away from Ron. Unfortunately, he who had already been discovered also attracted the attention of others. When they saw him running over, they stepped aside or bent down to catch him.

Soon even Hagrid noticed what was going on here, and he yelled, "Harry, what's going on?"

"There's a kitten!" Harry tried to catch up to Jemini, but he always ran away when he was about to catch him. "I couldn't catch him, he was running too fast."

"Okay, let's surround him first, so that he can't get out of the encirclement, hurry up, or we will be late."

The commotion in the crowd certainly caught Draco's attention. In fact, when Ron Weasley was yelling loudly, Draco had a bad feeling.

It turned out that Draco's hunch was right.

Draco pushed aside the crowd and walked towards the center of the commotion. Some people who were pushed away glared, but when they saw Crabbe and Goyle like two hills behind Draco, they could only dare not be angry. Dare to speak.

When Draco pulled away the frontmost person, Jemini, who was surrounded by the middle and couldn't get out, saw the gap there with sharp eyes, and rushed over without looking, just in time to bump into the one who had finally squeezed out. Draco's feet.

Draco raised his eyebrows and looked down at Jemini, who had thrown himself into the trap, with an inscrutable expression, his expression was a bit indescribably complicated.He couldn't help wondering what was wrong with him that he would believe the words of the pet shop owner.

This outrageously familiar Malfoy-like tone made Jemini, who was a little dizzy after being bumped, feel as if a basin of cold water had been poured down, and he looked up at Draco blankly. Unfortunately, the lights were too dim, Jemini couldn't see exactly what Draco was looking at right now.

Draco bent down, hugged Jemini in his arms, raised his chin slightly to Harry who walked over and looked at him curiously, and said calmly: "Okay, now this cat," De Laco really wanted to say this stupid cat, but when he thought that he was his master, he could only swallow the word, "He has found his master, you can go back, Potter."

"Um, this is really great." Harry looked at Draco with some embarrassment. He never thought that this cute little puppet cat was raised by Draco Malfoy. People who keep pets.

"Malfoy, hold your cat, everyone aboard," Hagrid understood Draco's identity as soon as he saw the Malfoy's signature pale blond hair on his head, "We've been stuck here for a long time. .”

Jemini was carried into the boat in Draco's arms.

In addition to Crabbe and Goyle, a tall boy came up on the same boat, with high cheekbones, dark skin, and narrow, slightly slanted brown eyes, with a slightly frivolous smile at the corner of his mouth, which made him look different from the others. The little wizard is different, but still handsome.

He seemed very curious about Jamie, and had been staring at Jamie in Draco's arms since he got on the boat.

"Hello, I'm Blaise Zabini." Zabini finally retracted his gaze from staring at Jemini, introduced himself to Draco, and extended his hand to Draco.

Draco raised his chin, stretched out his hand and shook Zabini, and said in a somewhat arrogant tone: "Draco Malfoy."

"I think we could be good friends."

"" Draco looked critically at the smiling Zabini in front of him, and finally replied in a lazy, aristocratic drawn-out tone, "I think so too."

"Your cat is special, he's funny."

When Draco heard Zabini describe Jamini like this, he raised his eyebrows a little noncommittally, well, it seems that at least he has achieved his original intention of buying a pet.

Always a special pet, although not very obedient.

[At once a fleet of small boats sails across the glass-flat surface of the lake.Everyone was silent, staring at the huge castle soaring into the sky.As they approached the cliff on which the castle stood, it seemed to tower over them. "Heads down!" Hagrid yelled as the first boats approached the cliff.All bowed their heads, and the boat carried them through the curtain of ivy that covered the face of the cliff to the secret open entrance.They followed a dark tunnel that seemed to go beneath the castle, and at last they came to what looked like an underground pier, and then climbed up a patch of gravel and small pebbles.

"Hey, look! Is this your toad?" Hagrid said as the students disembarked one after another as he checked the empty boat.

"Thank God!" Neville cried ecstatically, arms outstretched.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 oak door. 】

"Is it all here? Look, is your toad still there, is that cat too?" Hagrid raised a huge fist and knocked three times on the castle gate.

[The door opens immediately.A tall dark-haired witch in emerald green robes stood in front of the gate.She looked serious, and Harry's first thought was that this was a difficult person to deal with.

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

"Thank you, Hagrid. Let me pick you up here."

She pulled the door wide open.The foyer was large enough to move the entire Dursleys' house into it.Like Gringotts, the stone walls are surrounded by blazing torches.The ceiling is so high 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.Harry heard the buzzing of several hundred people from the door on the right, and the rest of the school must have arrived - but Professor McGonagall led the first-years into a small, empty room at the other end of the hall. .Everyone rushed in, rubbing shoulders and huddling together, staring nervously at everything around them.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you go to the dining hall, you must first confirm which college you have entered. Classification is a This is an important ceremony, because the college is like your home at Hogwarts while you are at school. You will attend classes with other students in the college, live in the college dormitory together, and spend time together in the college common room After school 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 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."

Her eyes wandered over Neville's cloak (the cloak strap fastened under the left ear) and the dirt on Ron's nose. 】

And of course Draco who brought a cat to the hall for the first time ever on the first day of school.
