"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes, please leave your luggage on board and we'll take you to school. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" The voice echoed through the train. The train slowed down, and finally stopped, and the passengers pushed and shoved and rushed to the door, and on a small dark platform down the road, the cold of the night made Xie An wrap his robes tightly. Hermione and Luna snuggled together, and Luna comforted Hermione softly.

A lamp flickered overhead the students, and a large, unusually tall man was holding it, his cheeks almost completely obscured by a shaggy and tangled bushy beard, and a bunch of black beetle-like eyes sparkling in the light, old acquaintance, Hagrid.

"First-year freshmen, first-year freshmen are coming here!" Hagrid shouted.

Xie An followed the flow of people down a dark and narrow path, lined with dark and dense woods, and after walking for a while, a black lake suddenly unfolded at the end of the path.

On the other side of the lake stands a towering castle with spires and windows twinkling under the stars, and this is Hogwarts!

This was followed by a boat ride across the lake in groups of four, which is also part of the Hogwarts tradition and appears to be in honor of the school's four founders.

"Look over there, that's Hogsmeade, the only village in England where all wizards don't have Muggles. My father took me there, and my maternal grandmother used to live there. Luna whispered to Hermione about another place around the Black Lake that was shining.

Xie An was a little nervous, he felt a huge unknown creature swimming in the boat, holding Yangmu's wand tightly in his hand, ready to strike at any time.

In this way, a group of stupid students arrived in the dark of night where they were going to live for several years. The crowd did not feel the temperament of Hogwarts' bright academic castle at all, but had the strange temperament of a mysterious pagan church in the Middle Ages.

Xie An was attracted by the mysterious creatures in the Black Lagoon, and did not pay attention to the appearance of Hogwarts at all, Hermione and Luna were very excited to look at the magnificent and gloomy castle and talk for a long time.

The freshmen soon arrived at their destination, where a tall witch in an emerald green robe stood expressionlessly.

"Professor McGonagall, this is this year's first-year student, quite a few, all here!" Hagrid said in a gruff voice, his voice still very dry and rough even in such wet weather.

"Thank you, Hagrid. Professor McGonagall replied. Xie An guessed that the majestic female professor like a lioness must be an important figure in Gryffindor.

"All right, boys, come with me. Professor McGonagall picked up the lantern and led the freshmen into the castle.

Xie An looked at the brightly lit castle, which was completely different from the gloomy appearance on the outside. The space here is obviously much larger than the exterior of the castle, apparently the result of some kind of spell.

Ancient huge stone sculptures, intricately patterned gates, and magical paintings that can't be named, Hogwarts School is as big as a small fortress, no wonder her mother told Shean that she must be assigned to a house with Luna, otherwise it will be difficult to be together in the future except for classes.

Without stopping, Professor McGonagall led them into a smaller auditorium where they waited.

"Did you see it?

"The candles are all floating, my God, there is such a magical place!"

Exclamations like this rang out all around, and the chatter was endless. Xie An was calm and quietly waiting for the upcoming sorting ceremony. Luna next to her didn't know where to stare at, and she was looking confused.

"Hey, Harry, how do you say it's going to be sorted?" Ron, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but ask Harry beside him, and Hermione hurriedly listened to the topic of interest.

"yes, let's talk about it, I've heard that it's going to be tested very rigorously. I read them all and didn't know if I had enough. Another new classmate who had just met was also heckling around.

"I don't know, Ron, aren't all your brothers Hogwarts students, haven't you inquired?"

Ron muttered embarrassedly, "I think they're talking nonsense, and judging by their descriptions, it looks like we're going to duel monsters."

Hermione was taken aback by Ron's, going to duel the monsters, my god.

"You just need to wear a hat, and that hat will decide where to go with you. Luna told her best friend the truth.

"Really, wouldn't that hurt?" everyone was startled by Ron's words and began to talk like crazy.

After a few minutes, suddenly the discussion slowly quieted down, Xie An looked up with some confusion, and a string of pearl-white figures floated out of the room.

"Ghost!" a child shouted.

"No, it's a ghost!" this is a child from a wizarding family showing superiority.

"It's a ghost, it's the first time I've seen it, my father used to say that a ghost is a memory left in the world after death. Luna happily explained. Hermione was also taken aback.

Xie An looked at these ghosts seriously, white, pure, as if they had no ability, and they had no resemblance to the evil ghosts of the Death Sect in his memory, what was this?

"Can they use magic?" asked Shayne Luna.

"No, they're just spirits. Luna replied uncertainly.

There were more than a dozen of these ghosts, arranged in a single column, and appeared in front of the eyes of a group of freshmen. One of them, with blood stains on his robes, looked dull and had hollow eyes, frightened the students around him to disperse.

Malfoy hesitated and took a step forward, greeting the fool, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Barrow, I'm Draco Malfoy, and my father wants me to say hello to you on his behalf." ”

"Oh, another Malfoy imp!" Barrow sneered. There seemed to be an infinite coolness in his voice.

Barrow slowly glanced around: "It's a pleasure to meet you, I hope you can gain the corresponding knowledge in your respective academies." Now, let's go. ”

Barrow's last words were addressed to the ghosts. He seemed to have a high status and prestige among the ghosts, and the ghosts did not speak out against it, but silently lined up in a neat line, and disappeared into the wall on the other side.

"Alright," Professor McGonagall reappeared, holding a long piece of parchment in her hand, and unsurprisingly the list of first-year freshmen.

"Everyone, line up, follow me!"

A group of children apprehensive by the ghost followed Professor McGonagall into the Great Hall. Xie An froze in place when he saw the ghost, and it wasn't until Luna came to pull him back to his senses.

"What's wrong with you, Andy, is it a little uncomfortable to see a ghost. My dad always disagreed with their claim that ghosts were harmless, believing that according to the ancient Eastern wizards, the living should not have too much contact with dead ghosts, otherwise it would lead to terrible consequences. Luna muttered.

Xie An didn't seem to hear Luna's words at all, and followed Luna to the auditorium with blank eyes.

Before entering the auditorium, Professor McGonagall gave them a basic introduction to the school, and told them the meaning of the upcoming sorting house, and told them to wait outside the gate for the time being, and left first, and the new students whispered nervously again.

Hermione also noticed that Xie An was abnormal, and hurriedly took Xie An's other hand with concern, and touched Xie An's forehead intimately, and found that there was some damp sweat on his forehead, but there was nothing abnormal.

"What's wrong with him?"

"I don't know, I think maybe those ghosts hurt him just now, you know those ghosts are sometimes just as annoying as Dementors. Luna said anxiously.

Hermione didn't understand the word Dementor, but she understood that Shea's condition was not good, so she had to suggest, "Maybe we should report to the professor?"

"No, no, I just, I just thought of one thing. A hoarse voice sounded, and Xie An said.

"Don't be nervous, Hermione, Luna, I'm fine. Xie An adjusted his voice, pulled his hand out of the hands of the two girls, and said softly.

"What's wrong with you, what comes to mind?" asked Hermione hurriedly.

"It's just something about ghosts and something else. Xie An regained his indifferent appearance and replied softly.

"Who is this, what a waste, it's only the first day of school, and he looks like he's going to faint!" Malfoy noticed the scene in the crowd, and laughed at Xie An's weakness with his two younger brothers.

"He's not a waste, he can cast magic, you can't. Neville, who was standing on the side, protested quietly.

"It's Neville, what about your grandmother, why didn't she come to school with you? Oh, can you live without your grandmother?" Malfoy scoffed.

Neville's face flushed, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

"Hey, that's not right, who do you think you are?" Ron came out to cheer for Neville.

"Oh, let me see, in a torn dress full of patches, with filthy red hair, you must be a child of the Weasleys, the scum of the wizarding world, how come your parents have finally raised enough money for you? haha. Malfoy scoffed.

Ron was also flushed with anger, and rushed forward, wanting to teach Malfoy a lesson, when Professor McGonagall came out and glanced at the commotion, and Malfoy-Ron was quiet.

Xie An didn't notice the next episode at all, and he recalled with some excitement the thing he had just thought of: ghosts, magical ghosts, which might change many things.

"Now forward," Professor McGonagall said in a loud voice, "the sorting ceremony is about to begin." ”

"Stand in line," Professor McGonagall told the freshmen, "now follow me!"

The team entered the Great Hall through an open door. The senior students sat at four tables, thousands of candles floating in the air above their heads, illuminating the entire Assembly Hall and filling the tables with glittering cutlery and goblets.

There was another table on the stage at the front of the assembly, where the teachers were seated, and Professor McGonagall led the new students aside and told them to line up and not to wander around.

The freshmen were stared at by many of the senior students, and they were a little uneasy. Hermione didn't know where to look, so she looked up at the ceiling: she happened to see a beautiful black ceiling as beautiful as velvet dotted with stars, and Hermione whispered, "Someone has enchanted it to make it look more like the starry sky outside, and this is what I saw in Hogwarts, a piece of school history." ”

Neither Shea nor Luna responded, and Luna may have been a little nervous as well, and Shaya didn't hear Hermione at all. Everyone waited silently for the sorting ceremony.

The professor placed a pointy magician's hat on the four-legged stool. The hat was worn, old and dirty.

"This is the magic hat, don't underestimate it, I heard that he has the wisdom left by the founder of the academy!"

"But why can't you clean it up! Those black spots must be mold. Another beautiful girl replied in annoyance.

There was silence in the dining room, and then the hat began to crack open like a mouth, and the hat actually sang.

After the Devil's Hat finished singing, the senior students burst into laughter, and the audience applauded, and the Devil's Hat saluted the four tables one by one in a strange posture, and the atmosphere instantly rose, and even Dumbledore, who was sitting on the main seat, smiled.

Then everyone went up one by one according to Professor McGonagall's list, put on their hats, and began to sort the house.
