Sword and Magic and Taxi

Since it was not the official entrance season, there were not many people on the bus. Two groups of parents took their young children to visit Hogwarts. After talking, Zhao Mai found out that one of their families was from Romania and the other was from Australia.

They are all pure wizarding families and have no interest in the Muggle world. They just complain that the world war has made transportation less convenient than in the past. It seems that they haven't gotten rid of the ignorance of hundreds of years ago. It's just that there is no witch killing this time, so they are killing each other. The two families have similar ideas. Fortunately, we have got rid of Muggles. Infected by their stupidity.”

That tone was like discussing another world. Zhao Mai suddenly had a feeling that in the eyes of wizards, the wizarding world was the real core world, and the Muggle world without magic was just a place that overlapped with their world. This is completely opposite to Zhao Mai's deep-rooted feeling of home on earth.

Only the man pushing a small truck talking about candy, drinks, sandwich bread and newspapers brought him back to his senses, and he remembered the cigarettes, bread, ham sausage, beer, drinks and mineral water, don't forget to tuck your legs when he was riding in the car. He knew that he always had the problem of having his thoughts wander easily, and he also had a personality that Zhong Jianbai said was hypocritical. Focus on the present first, focus on the present first - Zhao Mai kept reminding himself.

Watching the beautiful scenery outside receding in the gray train smoke, Zhao Mai found it difficult to recover his thoughts at this time. This is an undisturbed land, untouched by war. Grass, flowers and sheep are growing freely in the fields, and a few short figures are playing in the shade cast by the big trees. Zhao Mai turned on his phone and saw the place name Wizard World Earth displayed on the navigation. I remember that at the Transcendental Meeting, the wizarding world was called the sub-world attached to the earth. This is probably the origin of the special structure of the place name.

Now the taxi's ability to travel has not been restored, so the billing system cannot be turned on. Zhao Mai has no way of knowing whether there is a fee to go from the wizarding world to the original earth.

When formal freshmen get off the station, they need to take a boat across a large lake. However, it is not the entrance season, and there is no dedicated ferryman waiting at the pier, so they have to take a carriage and go around Hogsmeade Village - a small wizarding village - and then enter through the main entrance of the castle.

There were already people waiting for them, a thin and tall old man and a strong middle-aged man. The old man's hair was neatly combed back, and a pointed hat about the size of a thumb protruded from his hair, as if there was a horn on his head. He glanced at Zhao Mai and others, with neither sadness nor joy in his eyes, as if he was seeing just a few stones. But when he saw two families, one from Romania and one from Australia, a smile spread across his face.

Welcome to Hogwarts. I am the Headmaster, your friend Armando Dippet, and next to me is Professor Dumbledore. Please come with me, guests from afar, and I will take you to Visit various places in the school. The smile on his face disappeared after meeting Zhao Mai: As for you, just follow the Transfiguration Professor Albus Dumbledore, and he will arrange it for you. After all, this is What he caused.

Zhao Mai looked up and down at the famous Albus Dumbledore. He is now thirty-seven years old, and he is at his most energetic. Because he stands upright, his shoulders seem to be able to bear a huge burden. His chin now consisted of a short, untrimmed beard, as brown and uneven as his hair. The famous long beard and the most powerful wizard in later generations is just a prototype that has just been revealed.

He has a pair of wise blue eyes, which are like those of an owl on a hooked nose. It's a pity that the bridge of his nose was broken and one part was obviously twisted, so he lost a lot of his fierce and stern feeling, and instead became softer. Zhao Mai looked at him and suddenly felt that his spiritual defense had been touched, so he frowned and said to Dumbledore: Don't read my mind.

Dumbledore blinked, nodded and said, Sorry, this is an unconscious ability to radiate. But I see that you have already protected your mind, which is quite rare. He looked at everyone, bowed slightly, He said very politely: As the principal introduced me, my name is Albus Dumbledore, and I am now the teacher of the Transfiguration class. Before you are officially assigned to grades and enroll in school, I will lead you in tutoring. However, Don't feel any psychological pressure. Being assigned to any grade is just an evaluation of your past knowledge and will never affect your future achievements.

Thank you, but why did the principal say you were the one responsible for this matter?

I am a student of Gryffindor House at Hogwarts. When I was here, I found that there were fewer and fewer freshmen every year, especially the number of students from non-wizard families. This is very strange. He made a gesture of invitation, Then he walked and chatted with everyone: The descendants of wizards are prone to produce wizards, and wizard abilities will be tested in advance to ensure that they can enter school at the age of eleven. However, wizards born in purely Muggle families will not know the wizarding world at all. At this time, if Problems with the Search for Wizards spell will lead to the loss of talents in the wizarding world. I was inspired by a friend to think of this problem. After research, I discovered the errors and omissions of the Search for Wizards spell. Unfortunately, many wizards born in Muggle families have missed the opportunity. Due to the lack of control over the timing, various problems have arisen. But fortunately, a group of people have been found, and you are just like this.

What will happen to those who missed the opportunity? Zhao Mai asked.

Some people cannot direct their own magic throughout their lives, and they are no different from ordinary Muggles. Dumbledore said: But there are some people whose magic appears, but there is no way to control it. If wizards do not intervene, Muggles They cannot handle such a thing. Over time, these people are likely to be swallowed up by magic, lose their consciousness, or even die, which is quite tragic.

He talked as he walked, leading everyone forward. Hogwarts is a huge castle located on a cliff. The carriage stopped almost halfway up the mountain, but after getting off the carriage, you still had to walk forward for a while. Looking east from the mountain road, you can see a vast forest that stretches to the end of the horizon. That is the Forbidden Forest. There is no problem in this part of the area closer to the castle. The further you go in, the more dangerous it becomes. In addition to various beasts and animals, there are also centaur tribes deep in the Forbidden Forest. They don't like people approaching. Legend has it that there are unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, but I haven't seen anyone say that they have seen it with their own eyes. In short, don't go there. If something goes wrong, you won't even be able to recover the body.

He led everyone through the tall main entrance and turned left. You are not assigned to a house, and you will not live with the students, but will stay alone in the faculty and staff dormitories. Hogwarts has many rooms and complicated roads. After you remember the house number, you can always ask about these paintings on the wall. , they will tell you how to go. However, some of the paintings will joke or lie, so it is better for you to remember it yourself. The faculty lounge on the first floor provides three meals a day, at two six o'clock and one ten Two o'clock, don't miss it. I will teach you. The classroom is in the Charms classroom on the fourth floor. I think Charms is what you need to learn most. Compared to the children here, you are all adults. I think you can understand the virtue of self-discipline.”
