"What are you doing?" Lily saw Yulanda stretch out her hand, as if she was caressing something invisible, but the ground next to Yulanda was actually casting shadows, as if the transparent thing could only be seen by Yulanda.

"This is Thestrals, and only those who witnessed death directly can see it. Because only those who saw death could see Thestrals, it was once considered a symbol of bad luck. It's actually a surprising magical creature,"

"That's ....... You're ...... you."

"That's right, I was there when Dad died."

"Yulanda, I'm sorry...... I'm not ......."

"It's okay, I know."

They climbed a stone staircase and gathered in front of a large oak door.

"Are you all there?"

Hagrid raised a large fist and slammed it three times on the castle gate.

The gate was immediately opened.

A tall dark-haired witch in an emerald green robe stood in front of the gate.

Her expression was stern, and Yulanda recognized it at a glance, it was Professor McGonagall, "First-year freshman, Professor McGonagall." ”

Hagrid said.

"Thank you, Hagrid. I'll pick it up here. ”

She opened the door wide open.

Like Gringotts, the stone walls are surrounded by flaming torches.

The ceiling is so high that you can barely see the top.

The façade is a lavish marble staircase that leads upstairs.

They followed Professor McGonagall down the stone floor.

There was the humming of hundreds of people in the door on the right, and the rest of the school must have arrived—but Professor McGonagall led the first-year students to a small, empty room at the other end of the hall.

Everyone rushed in, huddled together shoulder to shoulder, nervously and carefully staring at the surrounding Yiqiē.

"Welcome to Hogwarts,"

Professor McGonagall said, "The opening party is about to begin, but before you get to the dining room, you should first make sure which house you are going to. Sorting is an important ritual because during your time at school the house is like your home at Hogwarts. You will attend classes with other students in the college, live in the dormitory of the college, and spend your free time together in the common room of the college. "The names of the four houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own glorious history and has produced outstanding witches and wizards. During your time at Hogwarts, your outstanding performance will result in extra points for your house, while any violation will result in a loss of points for your house. At the end of the year, the college with the highest score receives the House Cup, which is a high honor. I hope that no matter which house you are assigned to, you will be able to bring glory to the college. "In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of all the teachers and students of the school. I'm suggesting that while you are waiting, you should tidy up and be more energetic. "I'll pick you up when it's ready." Professor McGonagall said, "While you wait, be quiet. "How can they assign us exactly to which house?" Lily asked Yulanda. "I think it's always a quiz." Said a skinny boy. Lily looked around anxiously, and everyone around her was in danger. No one spoke. At this time, a strange thing happened, which caused several people to scream.
