Chapter Twenty-Eight: Life at Hogwarts Begins
Harry wasn't a glutton, but he wouldn't let it go if something good was available. The reason for the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is naturally due to his "respectable" aunt and cousin!
The Dursleys didn't make Harry hungry, but they didn't really let him eat without his belly. Dudley always snatched Harry from what he wanted to eat, even though it sometimes made Dudley want to vomit. If it weren't for Bruce taking Harry to fight his teeth from time to time, it would be hard for him to imagine how dark his life would be.
Harry would have feasted on so many delicious things that had suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, but today he was intrigued by something else.
At the end of the Sorting House, Harry glanced over to the professors, and in addition to Hagrid and Dumbledore, he noticed another person, a man with greasy black hair, a hooked nose, and sallow skin. Harry didn't know why he was paying attention, but he noticed that the other party was staring at him. And it was at this time that the scar on Harry's forehead hurt fiercely.
Harry didn't know why, but his instincts told him it was definitely not a good thing. Even because of the pain, he looked a little low, and in order not to worry his friends and not to spoil the cheerful atmosphere, Harry didn't say anything about it.
But the cold-faced professor piqued Harry's curiosity.
When everyone had filled their stomachs with their bellies open, the rest of the food disappeared from their plates. The plates and forks are as smooth as ever. After a while, the pudding came up. Ice cream of all flavors, apple pie, smug cake, chocolate muffin, jam doughnut, wine jam pudding, strawberry, jelly, rice cloth ......
At this point, Harry looked at the professors again, and he saw that the cold-faced professor was talking to Professor Quirrell whom he had met at the Leaky Cauldron. Harry asked Percy beside him, and said; "Hi Percy! Look, who is the guy talking to Professor Quirrell? ”
Percy took one look and said, "Oh! You're talking about Professor Snape! He is the head of Slytherin. ”
Harry wanted to inquire further, so he asked, "What is he teaching or something?" ”
"Potions!" Percy ate a piece of cake and said, "But the whole of Hogwarts knows that he is most interested in Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and he has long wanted to take Quirrell's job!" ”
Harry was eager to find out, but Percy was called by another classmate in the same year, and Harry had to give up.
Bruce noticed Harry's strange behavior and asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”
Harry glanced ahead and said, "Yes...... More on that later! ”
"You're going to be there for a while, too! Harry, don't you have a crush on a beautiful woman! Tell me and I can help you! Bruce asked with a smile.
"you!" Harry laughed and scolded, "I'm not as boring as you!" ”
……
After a while, as the banquet came to an end, Dumbledore was seen standing up, and the dining room was silent, and the food on the table disappeared without a trace.
He looked at the students below and said with a smile, "Oh, now that everyone is full and full of drink, I want to say a few more words to everyone." I hope you will keep in mind the precautions I just mentioned. Also, Madame Hodge reminded me that the Quidditch player review will take place in the second week of the term. Students who are interested in participating in the college team should contact her department. ”
Dumbledore paused, then drew his wand and cleared his throat. Those senior students all had helpless expressions when they saw this scene.
Li Jordan, who was in the same grade as the Weasley brothers, cried and said, "Damn, it's here again!" ”
Harry asked curiously, "What?" ”
"School Song...... Anyway, you'll know in a moment! Lee Jordan seemed to be very reluctant to talk about the topic perfunctorily.
Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a long ribbon of gold flew out of it, twisting like a snake over the high dining table.
"Each person chooses their favorite tune." Dumbledore said, "Ready, sing!"
The freshmen naturally didn't know what this was going on, and just when they were still surprised, the quiet hall suddenly exploded.
"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, please teach us the knowledge, whether we are old people who have lost our heads or children who have broken our knees, our minds can accept some interesting things."
"Because now our minds are empty, full of air, dead flies and trivialities, teach us some valuable knowledge, give us back what we have forgotten, you just do your best, and leave the rest to ourselves, and we will study hard until we turn into dung."
Not to mention the eerie lyrics, everyone in the hall is singing in a different tune, so it should not be difficult to associate with a scene. It is estimated that the vegetable market is quieter than this every morning.
Some of the freshmen couldn't let go and were too embarrassed to speak, but Bruce found it funny, so he made up a random tune and howled. In the end, the whole hall was filled with him and the Weasley brothers, who sang to the melody of "Funeral March".
Hermione couldn't stand the noise and kicked Bruce in the leg, and Ron put his hands on his ears, realizing that he had finally realized that Hermione had done something very appetizing.
The freshmen below listened uncomfortably, but Dumbledore was so fascinated that he even used his wand to beat the streets during the singing.
After singing the school song, he rubbed his eyes and sighed: "Music! "More charismatic than anything we did here! It's bedtime time. Let's go back to the dormitory. ”
When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
A new student is then led out of the hall by the prefects of each college, ready to go to their respective dormitories. Just as Bruce and the others were leaving, Hagrid came looking for him.
"Hey! Bruce, Harry! Wait a minute! Hagrid shouted.
The three stopped, and Hagrid walked up to them, smiling, "Congratulations on joining the best Gryffindor at Hogwarts!" ”
"Thank you!" The three laughed.
Hagrid then pulled a bag out of his coat pocket and handed it to Bruce, saying, "Jack, you've been sent to your dorm!" Here's dinner for it! ”
"Oh! Really! I forgot about Jack! Thank you so much, Hagrid! Bruce said.
Hagrid laughed, "You're welcome! ”
Ron asked, puzzled; "Are pets allowed in dormitories?"
"Absolutely, if you're willing to take care of the hygiene problems your pet causes and make sure it doesn't affect anyone else," Hagrid explains. But I don't think a dog as cute as Jack would bother the other students! Is that right? Bruce! ”
Bruce laughed, "Of course! ”
"Oh! Alright, it's time for you to go back! Come and find me in my cabin when you have time! Happy start to school, kids! Hagrid said.
"Thank you! Good night, Hagrid! ”
Led by Percy, Bruce and the new students left the hall and walked towards the common room, where they saw some ghosts and murals on the walls greeting them, because they had seen a lot of incredible things before, so everyone was not as excited as they were just now.
Soon, they stopped at the end of the hallway, and on the wall hung a portrait of a very wealthy woman dressed in pink.
The fat woman glanced at the crowd and said, "Password! ”
Percy replied, "Dragon scum! ”
When the fat woman heard this, she made a gesture of invitation, and saw that the mural was opened, and behind it was a passage.
"Wow! Cruel! Bruce exclaimed, "This is really like a secret passage in a novel!" ”
Percy said to the crowd; "That's it! Everyone, keep up with me! ”
Through the passageway, we came to a spacious room, a cosy circular living room filled with soft armchairs. There is also a burning fireplace, and the wall color is red for Gryffindor, which is vibrant and warm.
The freshmen liked the dormitory and looked around curiously. Bruce was even more satisfied, there was nothing to say, this was even better than the rest room in the movie. Although it is a dormitory, it is full of the smell of home.
Percy walked up to the front and said, "All right! Everyone, be quiet! ”
The freshmen stopped their discussion and Percy said, "Welcome to the Gryffindor Lounge, the boys' dorm is upstairs on the left, the girls' dorm is on the right, and the luggage has been delivered to you." The dormitory is for four people, and the college has already arranged it for you. Of course, you can also switch with other students if you wish. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me! ”
Percy finished speaking and the freshmen dispersed, and the girls returned to their dormitories. Bruce and Harry were separated, and they were grouped with Dean and Neville. Ron was in another dorm, but Ron didn't want to be separated from his two friends, so he swapped dorms with Dean. In the end, the three friends got their wish together.
The dormitories weren't huge, but they had everything they needed, a deluxe version of a classic dorm, each bed with four draped beds and draped with crimson flannel curtains. Although I haven't laid down yet, the white soft mattress looks very comfortable. It is worth mentioning that there are also their respective "school uniforms" on the bed, a black robe with a lion logo representing Gryffindor, and a red and yellow scarf that Bruce is very "familiar".
As soon as he walked to the bed, a dark shadow suddenly pounced.
"Haha! Jack! Bruce stroked Jack and smiled, "I'm sorry, man!" Leave you alone here! ”
"Wang!" Jack screamed, as if to indicate that it was okay.
