237 Arthur's Chamber
The closer they got to Hogwarts, the darker it became, and Harry and the others were talking and laughing when they noticed that the Hogwarts Express had begun to slow down for some reason, and the light in the carriage suddenly disappeared at this time, and the Slytherin began to panic, and now no one knew what was happening, but the air was also full of tension. [$>>>_._._._.f_.
Now what they need is light, Loki is playing with a ball of light with a soft beam and floating into the office with a flick of the ball, Harry frowns and says, "Are we already close to Hogwarts?" ”
Loki did a simple calculation, and they were indeed very close to the castle at Hogwarts.
"Looks like something should have happened."
It must not be a good thing, otherwise the train would not have stopped suddenly, Harry was a little worried, Hermione and they pushed Draco to Loki and Thor, and let his brothers help him protect Draco.
"I'll go see Hermione and Ron, and Draco will leave it to you for now."
Loki nodded, he would help protect these people in Slytherin, especially Draco, their recognized friends, but Harry's words had actually completely put Draco within his scope, and his words about Draco to them meant that Harry also regarded protecting Draco as his mission.
"Be careful, Harry."
Harry nodded, he pushed open the door of the Slytherin carriage and stepped out, Draco and Loki standing side by side, he pursed his lips as he watched Loki and Thor's hands just hold together. Loki always had a feeling that something was going to come in, and he asked Draco to take out his wand, and to calm down the chaotic Slytherins and take out their wands, and they didn't have the ability to protect themselves now.
Besides, Harry, after he came out of Slytherin House, he dared to go all the way in Hermione's direction, and it was very flustered outside, and it seemed that because of this unexpected stop, the little wizards were thinking about what was going on. Harry lit up one carriage after another, and if one person panicked, it would affect the others, and if the whole express started to panic, something would definitely happen.
Before Harry arrived at Hermione's carriage, he already knew what had stopped the train, and what had brought the total darkness, they had reached the borders of Hogwarts, and it was ...... who were boarding the train now Dementors, these monsters that are not human or ghost, just float around the carriage, as if they are looking for something.
Harry knew they were looking for Sirius,
He said to himself, damn it, Dementors don't have eyes, so they can't see anything, but because they lose their sight, their sense of smell is more sensitive, and they judge a person by smell and emotion, Harry wasn't worried about emotions, but he was worried about whether he would get his scent with Sirius if he hugged him before getting into the car.
Harry felt the Dementors getting closer to him, he took a deep breath and stood aside waiting for the Dementors to leave, Harry kept his head down, because if he looked directly at the face under the Dementor's hat, it would easily become his prey, and when the time came, ...... No one can guarantee that his soul will still be in his own body.
But the Dementors didn't seem to want to let Harry go, the Dementor had been circling around Harry for a long time, as if he had smelled something, and Harry kept his head down and didn't say anything to empty his brain as much as possible, so that the Dementors wouldn't smell his emotions.
After a few minutes of stalemate between Harry and the Dementors, the Dementors finally gave up on him and left, much to Harry's relief, the Dementors were a real threat, and Sirius couldn't be here.
However, some students were injured by the Dementors, but thankfully their new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor was in the car and rescued them in time.
Harry had heard that name after meeting Hermione, Arthur? James, the little wizard he had just met.
Arthur didn't really know anything about these Dementors, he just wanted to breathe outside, who knew that the carriage suddenly darkened, and when his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he looked up and saw a monster wearing a cloak and reaching the ceiling. Its face is completely hidden under the turban.
Under the turban, Arthur didn't know how to describe that face, but he felt that his gaze matched the face that didn't even have eyes, and then he couldn't hear anything, except for a crying voice that surrounded his head, which was Merlin's crying, which he had said a long time ago that if he died one day, Merlin wouldn't cry for him...... But the man still missed the appointment.
Merlin...... Merlin's crying and the way he stood on the cliff and cast his magic were all in Arthur's mind, and he couldn't remember the rest, except that Arthur knew that if he died here, he would have to wait for Merlin for many years. [,No pop-ups,I like this kind of site the most.,Be sure to praise]
When Arthur woke up, he found himself in a separate carriage, and there was a man in front of him who looked vicissitudes, and when he saw him wake up, he handed him the chocolate in his hand and said, "Eat it, and you will appreciate it." ”
Lupin looked at the blonde child in front of him, and the moment he woke up, his eyes were unusually sharp, as if he was a bad person, but then the look disappeared. He was the only one who was attacked by the Dementor Lock, and the Dementor seemed to want his life, and when he sucked the boy's soul, he was so focused that Lupin thought that something would happen, but he didn't expect the boy with white lips to quickly recover.
Arthur gulped down the chocolate, she touched her chest, he could feel the flow of magic, it seemed that the magic of the ancient religion was protecting him.
"Wait a minute, I'm about to arrive at Hogwarts, you should have gotten off early, but I'll take you to the professors in a special situation."
Arthur nodded, it is said that he came here to be divided, and he doesn't know if he can go to the same academy as Merlin, and the fairies in the lake have also mentioned the matter of the division to him, which is said to be divided according to the different personalities and essences of each person, and they think that this division is problematic, although people gather in kind, but after there are more people with the same personality and pursuit, it will only magnify their characteristics.
The fairy of the lake also gave an example to Arthur, like Morgana? What would be the consequences of a person of Pendragon's character if they were to come together? Or like Gawain, who represents courage, Gawain's character has always been a big grin, eating meat, drinking wine, and has always been loyal to him, but it is undeniable that if every knight of the Round Table is Gawain's character, then his army will become a puddle of loose sand.
Arthur also asked the fairies of the lake why they didn't care about these things, or the ancient religion didn't care about these things, and their answer was very interesting, in their opinion, these were not their tasks, and each era had its own direction, and they could not stop it.
In fact, just like Arthur and Merlin, their fates have been entangled since the day they met, Merlin wants to change Arthur's fate, but in the end, no matter how much effort he makes, it has no effect, Arthur's death and Merlin's lonely millennium are actually a foregone conclusion.
A thousand years ago, it was Merlin's destiny to protect Arthur, and he willingly went to his death.
When the train finally arrived at Hogwarts, Arthur got off the train with his suitcase, he knew that the professor who had just given him chocolate was called Lupin, Remus? John? Lupin, is his future Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.
When he first woke up and was adopted, he always thought that all kinds of homework were his own problems, in fact, many things existed in his bones, but he was originally a person who played more than he studied, and during that time he really tried his best to improve his grades.
And now what he learned before is no longer useful, everything has to start from scratch, the only thing he is glad about is that because he wants to catch up with Merlin's footsteps, he is still a little interested in magic, and the fairy in the lake also said that because he has been sleeping for thousands of years near the center of the ancient religion, he has been integrated into the magic of the ancient religion in his bones, so he doesn't need to worry about magic at all, even if he is not strong, he will not be a weak chicken.
After entering the castle, he was dragged to check his body, and Arthur actually wanted to say that he didn't have any problems, but unfortunately the person named Madam Pomfrey didn't care about his answer.
Arthur sat helplessly in his hospital bed/and let people check it out, wondering if he could attend the so-called sorting ceremony.
However, Madame Pomferet thought that Arthur was really healthy, that there were no problems, and that he was even stronger than the average wizard, and although she didn't know why he was so healthy after being attacked by the Dementors, it was always good news, wasn't it.
Arthur was about to end the sorting ceremony when he was brought to the hall, and he exhaled with his hands on his knees, finally catching up, and he thought he was in trouble again.
"Arthur? James. ”
The short professor called his name, and Arthur walked slowly towards the hat, unsure if he should have done it.
He put the worn hat on his head when a voice rang in Arthur's head.
"Merlin's socks, Arthur? Pendragon? ”
Arthur's eyes widened, why did this hat know his name, his real name.
This name is known to no one other than the fairy of the lake,
Even his adoptive parents didn't know.
When Arthur tried to pull his hat up, the voice rang out again, "It's an honor to meet you, Your Royal Highness King Arthur." Don't worry, I can just hear your thoughts, and if you want to say anything, you just have to think about it. ”
Arthur nearly became the first person to take off his hat without a sorting process.
Harry sat there watching Arthur, the child had been attacked by the Dementors, but now he looked very energetic, no different from the two of them, and did the Sorting Hat say something to him? He immediately wanted to jump off the stool and put his hand on his hat.
"I think Arthur? James is kind of funny. ”
After all, it was the opening ceremony, and Harry forcibly brought Thor to their house table, and it was okay for Thor not to give face on weekdays, but if Thor sat behind the Slytherin table at the sorting ceremony this time, it would be another restless year.
"When did you become interested in these?"
Thor asked Harry in a low voice, Harry shrugged his shoulders as a feeling, Arthur gave him a strange feeling that he didn't look like a person who could be suppressed, but like a king who could stand at the top, which was actually very similar to Thor beside him.
"You know me?"
Arthur asked the Sorting Hat back, and the Sorting Hat looked very happy, "Of course, your and Merlin's names are known to everyone in the wizarding world. ”
King Arthur brought magic back to the land, and Merlin was admired as the most powerful sorcerer in the legend of magic itself, and the names of King Arthur and Merlin the Arch always appeared at the same time, as they were each other's halfs.
Without King Arthur, magic would not have been able to return to the land, and without the Archmage Merlin, King Arthur would not have been able to achieve what he would have done.
"Really...... I thought everyone would only talk about Merlin. ”
The Sorting Hat can only give you the things that people with hats think, and it was at this time that Arthur remembered some things about Merlin, who was very funny at first, and Merlin, who didn't lie in front of anyone at all, and Merlin, who deceived himself in the end.
His mind was full of Merlin, and even the Sorting Hat was frightened by the endless flow of Merlin.
Sure enough, in some legends, Merlin and King Arthur are each other's half-bodies, and there is a basis for being soul mates.
"What kind of house will Merlin be assigned to if he comes to school?"
Arthur wants to be with Merlin, going to class together, eating and sleeping together, and he wants to make up for the thousand years that Merlin has lost.
"Great/Mage honors Merlin? You mean...... Is he still alive? ”
Arthur rolled his eyes, to be honest, if Merlin could accompany him, he would not wake up The two of them lying in a coffin are actually a happy thing, sleeping in the lake forever and ever, without outsiders to disturb them.
"Yes."
The legendary Merlin is still alive...... The Sorting Hat really didn't expect it, after all, Merlin and Arthur lived in a time that was not only a thousand years ago, but even longer, and if Merlin was still alive, it should be the never-ending life that everyone was pursuing.
"If it's the honorable Lord Merlin, I can only say that I will respect his choice no matter what kind of academy he goes to, and as for you, His Royal Highness King Arthur, I think maybe Gryffindor is more suitable for you, and you will have a good time with them there."
Gryffindor? Arthur frowned, and the fairy of the lake also said that he was like a lion and belonged to Gryffindor, but what if Merlin didn't come to Gryffindor next year? It is said that this kind of branch can only be chosen once in a lifetime.
"Okay, then Gryffindor."
The Sorting Hat heard Arthur say yes and shouted in the loudest voice, "Gryffindor! ”
As Harry thought, Arthur had actually come to Gryffindor's house.
The little wizards who had been assigned to Gryffindor waved at him, Arthur had conquered the hearts of many people in the short distance before, and his personality charm made those little wizards involuntarily want to be close, and the feeling of being around him was so warm and calm.
Arthur was walking down the Sorting Hat like a Gryffindor table, and when he saw Harry, he nodded to Harry, who smiled at him.
"Looks like there's a great guy at Gryffindor this year."
Draco watched the last little wizard, Arthur, walk to the Gryffindor table and said to Loki beside him, Loki nodded, such popularity should only be established through a few hours of Hogwarts Express, can only say Arthur? James' buying of hearts and minds is truly outstanding in this aspect.
"It's really amazing, you see that the new Slytherin wizards have been peeking at Arthur all the time? What about James. ”
What kind of person was Arthur? Although Merlin used to like to call him a royal fool, Arthur is actually a man as warm and shining as the sun, neither the darkness nor the dark clouds can block his light, and his broad-mindedness makes many people ashamed of themselves.
Such a person is indeed easy to attract the attention of others, and he is also a person who can become the center of attention.
"It's kind of interesting."
Before officially enjoying their dinner, Dumbledore introduced two new professors, one was Remus? John? Lupin is their Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and the other is Hagrid, who will be the professor of the Protection of Magical Creatures.
Harry's eyes widened when he heard Lupin's name, Sirius had told him about this man, their friend was also the gentlest of them all, and that Sirius was the only one left in the foursome back then. Blake and their new professor Remus? Lupin, so Sirius' mention of this person exudes a nostalgic charm.
Harry thought Sirius would be desperate to come over if he knew his old friend was here.
Lupin looked at the dark-haired and bespectacled boy sitting in the front row of the Gryffindor table, his eyes were sharper than the others because he was a werewolf, and he looked at Harry with a shallow smile, Harry and Jaime were so similar, and they had a little in common with Lily.
It's just that the hot eyes next to him made Lupin ignore it, he knew it was from Severus? Snape's gaze, their grievances with this man will probably not be resolved for a lifetime, he knows his secret but also agrees to make wolf venom/potion for himself, sometimes Lupin really thinks that Snape is a contradictory person.
He turned his head and smiled at the man, hoping to take the opportunity to ease their relationship, but Snape wouldn't be bothered, he almost died because of Sirius's mischief because of the man for who he was.
He didn't know why Dumbledore had invited someone over because of Sirius? Blake still wanted him to teach Harry, and he was not satisfied with the previous two Defence Against the Dark Arts professors, no matter who they were, Snape had been fighting for this position for a long time, but he didn't expect to lose to his enemies this year.
He pretended not to see Lupin's flattering smile, all they needed to be colleagues was that he promised to go back and make the wolf venom/potion for the safety of the school.
Arthur once again felt the power of magic when he saw the food appear out of thin air, and Merlin was able to light a fire with a single stretch of his hand.
Arthur's mind is full of Merlin now, the Merlin he met on the platform today is still the Merlin in his memory, in fact, Arthur also thought that if he hadn't seen Merlin at the time of departure, would he rush over and hold the person in his arms, and then forcibly take him away......
After all, it was Merlin.
After dinner, the young wizards followed the prefect to their house, and Thor followed Loki's footsteps to the Slytherin common room, where there was a little discussion about his appearance as a new Slytherin wizard, why a Gryffindor could enter Slytherin.
It's just that some of the little wizards who have older sisters or older brothers on them have heard of it, and they have been warned before coming to school, they must abide by the laws of Slytherin, no matter how favored they are in Slytherin, and remember that there are two people not to provoke, one is Draco, the heir of the Malfoy family? Malfoy, and the other is Loki, the Muggle child? Odinson. At the same time, there is one more thing to pretend not to know, and that is Harry? Potter and Saul? Odinson would haunt things in the break room.
Even the dean of their academy turned a blind eye to this matter, and if he provoked someone who didn't dare to provoke, the consequences would be very serious.
There was the kind of little wizard who wanted to ask questions, but shrank back when he saw Loki's expressionless face, and the look he had just looked at him was so sharp that it felt like it was going to be torn apart.
Loki watched the reactions of the young wizards with satisfaction, and then swaggered into the dormitory with Thor who belonged to him.
Harry wrote a letter to Lestrade, and then he was going to write to two people, one for Lestrade for his Dad and Sirius for his godfather.
Lying on the bed/, Arthur took out a picture he had drawn earlier, kissed it and said, "Good night, Merlin." ”
The photograph that was placed under the pillow showed Merlin's face from a thousand years ago. 166 Reading Network
