Boats rowed across the calm lake, and the lake was rippling, and the boatmen were silent, staring at the huge castle high into the sky. As they approached the castle, it looked like it was standing above them.

"Wow, that's awesome. But why do you say that only our first-year students take the boat? Ron broke the silence and asked.

"Haven't you read Hogwarts, A History? I can already memorize the whole book. Hermione said haughtily.

Dudley didn't scare her at first, but she was still so scared, didn't she worry about the sorting test at all?

At this time, Hermione's academic spirit was shocked, and she slowly spoke: "It is mentioned in the tenth line on page 208 of this book, so that the new students can experience the hardships of the four great wizards who founded the school back then, and the four great men also took the boat back then, rowed across the Black Lake, and arrived here for the first time, which is also the reason why a boat makes four people ......"

Ron made a divine assist, making Hermione like chewing on the dazzling Mai from her previous life, and she couldn't stop at all.

Ron looked at Dudley and Harry with a little tears to spare, and he wanted to smack himself a few times, and Dudley shrugged his shoulders and gave a look that blamed you.

"Keep your head down. It was Hagrid's voice.

Hermione finally stopped her words, and Dudley instantly felt clear in his ears, no more buzzing like mosquitoes, and he swore that it would be very useful to first learn a spell that would make him unable to hear or forbid others from speaking when he arrived at the Academy.

Dudley looked ahead, and it was a cliff. They hurriedly lowered their heads, and the boat carried them through the ivy curtain that covered the front of the cliff to the secret open entrance.

The little wizards who got off the boat were noisy, and they all talked about the same thing.

"You know what?"

"Know what?"

"It's an entrance test!"

"Well, of course I do, according to an unnamed Dudley Dursley, the test was to survive a dragon's attack for ten seconds. ”

"yes. I've heard about this as well. God, my parents just laughed and told me that they would know when they went. It's just horrible!"

The little wizards were terrified.

Dudley was trembling with anger, and he was seen through the back, afraid that it was not the rhythm of being beaten to death by the group.

"Hermione Granger!" Dudley shouted angrily, however, Dudley didn't see Hermione's figure at all, and began to get off the boat, and now it was gone, he took a deep breath and said, "It's so fast." ”

Harry slammed Dudley on the shoulder and smirked, "Tsk, unnamed classmate, you've made everyone angry." ”

Dudley put his arm around Harry's neck and said in a gloomy voice, "Why don't you be Dudley and I Harry from now on?"

"Do you have a scar?" Harry lifted his bangs.

Dudley really wanted to lift his skull, why was he so skinny. Who brought his stupid cousin badly?

Everyone gathered in front of a large oak door.

"Are you all there?" Hagrid asked, looking at the group, and then he raised a large fist and knocked three times on the castle gate.

The door immediately opened, and the foyer was large enough to fit three basketball courts, and the stone walls around it were covered with flaming torches like Gringotts. The ceiling is so high that you can barely see the top. The façade is a lavish marble staircase that leads upstairs.

Hagrid said, "Go in from here and follow the stairs." ”

A group of young wizards walked up the stairs, only to see a tall black-haired witch in an emerald green robe standing. She had a serious face, Dudley's first thought was the director of discipline in the school in his previous life, and he had a serious expression all day long, making people want to turn around and run away when they saw it, and it was obvious that the serious Professor McGonagall made everyone very scared, and the voices of the little wizards were all gone.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, and in a little while you will be with your seniors through this door. However, before you can take your seat, you must sort out which college you are enrolled in. Professor McGonagall said: "The names of the four houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each academy has its own glorious history and has produced outstanding wizards. ”

"During your time at Hogwarts. She paused, looked at the crowd with a stern gaze, and then said in a gentle tone, "The academy is like your home. ”

"Your outstanding performance will earn extra points for your house, and any violation will detract points for your house. At the end of the year, the house 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. ”

"Reefer. Neville rushed to the crowd and picked up the toad that was at Professor McGonagall's feet.

"Poor Neville, lost his toad again. Ron whispered with a smile.

"It's going to start in a little while, and until then I'd suggest you get in order and look refreshed while you wait. Professor McGonagall's gaze swept over a dirty piece of Ron's nose.

"Ron, your nose is a little dirty. Dudley reminded Ron, who pointed to one side of Ron's nose and said, "This is it." ”

Ron wiped the dirt off his nose and said, "Thank you." ”

Professor McGonagall looked satisfied, and everyone was relieved as she left.

"It seems that what I saw on the train just now is true. Harry Potter arrives at Hogwarts. A boy with pale blonde hair and a pale melon seed face leaned against the handrail of the stairs, and he held out his finger and tapped his forehead.

Dudley then realized that Harry's lightning-shaped scar was not blocked by his bangs.

On either side of the little white face stood a man, stout and chic, like two bodyguards, and he said, "This is Crabbe, this is Goyle." My name is Malfoy. ”

The Malfoy kid walked up the steps in front of Harry, looked at Harry condescendingly, and smiled, "Draco Malfoy." ”

Ron coughed lightly to keep from laughing. Draco Malfoy looked at him.

"You think my name is ridiculous, don't you? don't ask who you are. My father told me that the Weasleys were red-haired, freckled, and overwhelmed by the number of children, all dressed in shabby robes. Malfoy said with a look of disgust and mockery.

He turned to Harry and said, "You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are superior, Potter. Don't make friends with people who don't have a good idea. I can help you at this point. ”

He reached out to shake Harry's hand, but Harry didn't answer him.

"I think I can tell the good from the bad, thank you. Harry said coldly.

"Malfoy, you don't do the right way to meet new people. If you want to learn, I'll teach you. Dudley said with a wave of his hand.

Draco Malfoy's pale cheeks didn't flush, only a faint flush.

At this point, Professor McGonagall returned, and she rolled up the parchment in her hand and knocked Malfoy.

Malfoy looked back to see that it was Professor McGonagall, who was staring at him with the eyes of an exterminator. Malfoy wilted in a flash, and a loser can't lose, so he turned back to stare at Harry and snorted.

"Another tsundere. Dudley muttered.

Professor McGonagall distinctly heard Dudley's voice, and Dudley was watched by her, and his body unconsciously snorted.

"It's all ready, you come with me. ”

The door behind Professor McGonagall opened. There was a lot of talk in the hall, as they saw Professor McGonagall and a slightly chubby boy walk in, while the other first-year wizards remained motionless.

Professor McGonagall felt something was wrong and stopped. The little boy in the back bumped into it directly.

"Oops. Dudley clutched his forehead and took a few steps back. Only then did he notice that he was the only one who had come in, and he didn't react at all.

Who am I, where am I, what am I going to do? Dudley now has thousands of alpacas flying in his mind.

Professor McGonagall looked back and saw that it had exploded on the spot, okay?

"What are you doing? are you asking me to come in one by one?" Professor McGonagall trotted back to them, her eyes full of anger as she stared at them.

Dudley also came back, otherwise it would be stupid to stand in the middle.

"Are we going to deal with dragons?" asked Neville, timidly standing in the crowd.

Dudley admires Neville very much, no wonder Neville was sorted into Gryffindor, and at this time, he dared to tease Professor McGonagall's nerves, and his courage was commendable.

Professor McGonagall was furious, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, and she said, "Who told you that you were going to deal with dragons?

Dudley's heart was beating wildly, praying that they wouldn't say it.

After all, it's time now, everyone is waiting, and Professor McGonagall didn't dig deeper.

Professor McGonagall repeatedly assured that there would be no dragons, and the young wizards dared to follow Professor McGonagall into the Great Hall.

Dudley felt his sleeves be ripped off, and he looked back to see that it was Hermione.

Hermione puffed out a small face and looked at Dudley and said, "Liar, there are no dragons at all. ”

"You still dare to appear in front of me. Dudley reached out a hand and flicked Hermione's forehead.

Hermione clutched her forehead in pain, tears were about to fall, and Dudley was really hard.

Dudley said, "I have heard it all, hearsay, you know? ”

Dudley turned and left, ignoring Hermione and looking at the house auditorium.

The seniors of the other grades of the academy were already sitting around four long tables with glittering gold plates and goblts.

At the top of the auditorium were long tables with the teachers' seats. Dumbledore was sitting in the middle. Professor McGonagall brought everyone to the stage.

Hermione poked Dudley lightly and said, "Hey, look at the sky. ”

Dudley wondered what was going on with this girl, but he honestly looked up and saw a little starlight shining on the velvety black ceiling.

Hermione said, "This ceiling is enchanted, it looks like the sky outside, I've read about it in Hogwarts History, and I'm sure you've seen it too." ”
