Chapter IX Division
"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes, please leave your luggage on the train and we'll take you to school." The sound echoed through the train. The train slowed down, and finally stopped, and the passengers pushed and shoved and shoved and rushed to the door, and on a small and dark platform down the road, the cold of the night made Carchel wrap his robes tightly, a lamp dangled above the students' heads, and a large man of unusually tall height was holding it, his cheeks almost completely obscured by a shaggy and tangled bushy beard, and a bunch of eyes like black beetles glittering in the light, "First grader! First-year freshmen are here! Dahan shouted.
Kachel followed the flow of people down a rocky and narrow downward road, lined with dark and dense woods, and after a while, a black lake suddenly opened 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!
The next thing is to cross the lake in groups of four, which is also one of the traditions of Hogwarts, it seems to commemorate the four founders of the school, there are no acquaintances near Carchel, but luckily he and the Pettier twin sisters sit together, it feels like an outing, completely ignoring the extra boy, he can only silently act as the background of Kachel's pickle girl, Carchel and the Pettier sisters talk and laugh, although, Kachel feels that they are too dark, not his favorite type, although, I also saw the sisters in the movie in my previous life, but the reality and the movie are really a little surprising, they not only talked to Kachel about magic, but also family, and even communicated with Indian culture, it can be seen that the two sisters are very surprised by Kachel's knowledge and unique temperament, joking that in their previous life, they were also students at key universities, and if they don't know anything, then they still play with Mao?
Happy time is always very short, the freshmen soon arrived at their destination, there was a waiting Professor McGonagall led the way to the auditorium, Professor McGonagall introduced them to the basic situation of the school, and told them the meaning of the upcoming division, let them wait outside the gate for the time being, and left first, the freshmen whispered a little nervously, and the Pettier sisters were chatting happily Cachel, suddenly felt a chill from behind him, he turned his head stiffly, I found that Pan Xijiu, whose face was covered with frost, was watching him so silently.
"Let me see, it is worthy of being the young master of the Brooke family, it is only the first day of school, and he is so enthusiastic to help weak female classmates, and, 2 at the same time, I think Uncle Brooke will be proud of you if he knows it!" Little Lori said this in a flat tone and an emotionless voice, and Kachel couldn't think about it, tragedy, I haven't seen her for a few weeks, how can she be like this, Carchel greeted Little Lori with enthusiasm as if nothing happened; "Ah, Pansy, I've been looking for you, I'm sorry I couldn't find you, I guess you're with Draco, I'm here to introduce you, these two are from India and have a high race surname, Parvati, Padma, this is Pansy Parkinson, my good friend, get to know each other, I'm sure you'll become good friends."
Pansy was reserved and shook hands with the Pettier sisters, and took the initiative to chat, faintly there was an anti-guest teacher, and the two sisters were not to be outdone, with two pairs, seeing that the place where the heat dissipation was gradually exuding a dangerous atmosphere, Carchel was very wise to shamelessly flee under the guise of looking for Draco. A few people behind him suddenly screamed, scaring everyone to a foot high, "What are you doing---? Holding his breath, so did the people around him, about twenty ghosts coming in through the wall from behind, all as white as pearls, and translucent, and they floated through the room as they spoke, glaring at the group of freshmen, who seemed to be arguing about something, and one of the chubby friars said "Forgive him, forget the whole thing, I think we should give him another chance." ”
"My dear Mr. Fat Friar, we've given Peeves a lot of opportunities, and he's not a good idea to make us all of us goofy - hey, what are you doing here?" It was a ghost wearing a wreath and pantyhose who spoke, and she suddenly found that the group of children under her, no one answered, most of them did not dare, and at this time, Cachel stood close to the ghost, so he replied, "Oh, ma'am, we are waiting for the Sorting House?" The female ghost smiled gently, "Good luck then, and I hope you get a Ravenclaw." ”
"Now forward," a female voice shouted; "The distribution ceremony is about to begin." Professor McGonagall couldn't help but come back, and one by one the ghosts left through the walls, "standing in pairs," Professor McGonagall told the freshmen, "now follow me!" The pair re-entered the hall and entered a separate door, and into the Great Hall, where Kachel had never spoken of such a strange and splendid place, even if he came from a large family, he had never seen such a magnificent place. The other students sat at four tables, thousands of candles floating in the air above their heads, illuminating the Great Hall, which was filled with glittering silver saucers and goblets, and another table on the stage at the front of the assembly, where the teachers were seated, and Professor McGonagall led the new students up the high platform and told them to stand in a row facing the brothers and with their backs to the teacher. The ghosts scattered among the students turned the originally vague silverware into shiny, Lin Tian looked up, and happened to see a velvety and beautiful black ceiling dotted with stars, and Hermione whispered beside her; "Someone has enchanted it to make it look more like the starry sky outside, which is what I've seen in Hogwarts, a piece of school history."
After giving astrology lessons like this, Kachel said that it would be very useful for the students. After speaking, he ignored Hermione, who was in a daze, and quietly waited for the sorting ceremony. The professor placed a pointy magician's hat on the four-legged stool. The hat was worn, old and dirty. The clean-loving Kachel was not willing to wear the hat on his head at all, but he had no choice.
"This is the magic hat, don't underestimate it, I heard that he has the wisdom left by the founder of the academy!" Kachel whispered softly to Harry, "But you can't make it clean and pretty!" There was silence in the dining room, and then the hat began to writhe. The brim of the hat cracked a wide slit, like a mouth—and the hat actually sang. Kachel was speechless at the writhing and singing hat, as if he was watching cartoons from his past life again.
After the Magic Hat finished singing, the audience applauded, and the Magic Hat bowed to the four tables one by one, and then stood still. "So, we're just going to put on this hat." Ron whispered, "I'm going to kill Fred, and I hear him say it's like he's going to fight a giant." ”
