Chapter 12: A sense of foreboding
As outliers of the Weasleys, George and Fred don't like Percy very much, preferring Ron because he's a good target for teasing.
(Ron: Am (ಥ_ಥ) I your toy?) )
However, Louie's overall impression of Percy is good, although he remembers that in the later part of the HP movie, Percy seems to have a very unpleasant quarrel with his family because of power, but among all the Weasleys, Louis thinks that Percy is one of the few normal ones.
Of course.
It is right for people to work hard for their dreams, but in the process of running for their dreams, we must remember the importance of our loved ones in our hearts.
Unless...
Your loved ones are incomprehensible.
For example, in the HP movie, the Dursley family, who adopted Harry, Louis thought to be a good example.
Many people were whitewashing the Dursleys, saying that they were able to risk being attacked by the Death Eaters to adopt Harry, provide him with food and clothing, and raise him as an adult, which was enough to prove the goodness of the Dursleys.
But this so-called kindness... Isn't it a bit cheap?
It's just as ridiculous as how you used to burn, kill and loot, and you can become a Buddha just by putting down the butcher's knife, right?
Seriously, under the "education" of the Dursleys, Harry did not have a grudge against Muggles, and became the three generations of Dark Lords who started the wizarding Muggle war, and Louis felt that Harry was amazing, and he was the one who was really kind.
In other words, Louis was raised like the Dursleys...
What about the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?
Louis didn't even mind letting the Dursleys comprehend the true meaning of "nuclear levelism"!
Then, during the rest of the time spent in the train cubicle, Louie occasionally entered the spirit world to flip through video materials, occasionally practiced basic exercises in manipulating magic power into magic sand, and occasionally listened to the content of the twins and Li Jordan's small talk, not feeling how slow time passed at all, and suddenly heard a voice echoing in the train:
"In five minutes, the train will arrive at Hogwarts, please leave your luggage in the carriage and we will take you to school."
"Huh! Is it there? Merlin's beard... We just talked about the rise! ”
Li Jordan glanced out of the compartment resentfully, licked his dry lips, and looked unfinished.
George and Fred ignored him, instead sorting out the remaining snacks on the table and putting them in Louie's box.
Looking out along the carriage, George said with a little surprise: "It seems to be raining outside!" ”
"What a terrible weather!"
Fred took out the only umbrella from the box and asked Louie, "Hey, do you need an umbrella?" ”
"No, thank you."
Louie smiled and replied, "I think you need it more than I do." ”
The train stopped slowly, Li Jordan greeted and left first, Louis and the twins stayed in the compartment wittily, and waited for the outside to be less crowded, and then slowly walked off the train with the crowd.
The weather outside, as Fred said, was really bad, it was raining a little heavily, and their little umbrella didn't work at all.
In order to prevent the twins from catching a cold in the rain, Louis manipulated his magic power to open the magic shield and envelop the three of them in it to separate the rain, which made the twins look at Louis in great amazement.
Inside their shining eyes...
It's a little bit of worship?
The other people who got off the train obviously didn't have the same good luck as George and Fred, and not long after getting off the train, they felt a little drunk Xuebi, and their hearts were cold from the rain.
Fortunately, soon a loud voice sounded in the crowd, beckoning all the first-year freshmen:
"First-year freshmen! Come to me! ”
Louis looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw a burly figure.
The man's image was a little sloppy, his whole face seemed to be hidden by his long unkempt hair and thick beard, and the only striking thing was his eyes, which were dark and bright, like bright black pearls.
"My name is Hagrid, Rubeus Hagrid, and I'm the key keeper of Hogwarts, the warden of the hunting grounds."
Following behind all the first-year freshmen, Louis and George, Fred stepped forward, looked at the man and said with a pretense of seriousness:
"All the first-year students are here, right? Well, follow me, and remember to watch your feet! ”
As he spoke, Hagrid turned around and walked slowly forward, but all the first-year students behind him had a great difficulty, because the distance of Hagrid's step was at least ten steps taken by the first-year students.
Although Louie can use a glowing spell casually, which is enough to make all first-year freshmen see the road more clearly and prevent anyone from falling and getting injured, he is willing to keep a low profile in front of strangers, but he quietly uses a levitation charm on himself and his twins, keeping his body levitating forward, and following behind the freshman team.
"Hey, Louie, you're so cool!"
Feeling the wonder of the levitation charm, George and Fred lowered their voices and said excitedly, in exchange for Louie's extremely calm reply:
"Basic Operations."
Soon, after Hagrid walked a long winding path, George and Fred snickered as they watched the new students fall one after another, while Louie's eyes looked ahead, where there was a beautiful black lake.
"There's Hogwarts up ahead!"
Hagrid shouted as he pointed to the castles in front of him, then pointed to the fleet of boats in the Black Lake:
"We need to get there by boat, remember that there can't be more than four people per boat!"
Once Hagrid was sure that all the first-year students were on board, the convoy rowed across the mirror-like Black Lake.
In Louie's boat, the brothers George and Fred were inevitable, and the other person who was on board with them was a girl with a delicate face with short fiery red hair, who looked around timidly and curious about the new things she first came into contact with.
From the twins' good communication with her, Louis could faintly hear that the girl's name seemed to be Annie, but he did not know the details of the situation, only that the girl seemed to be a young wizard from a Muggle family, and she was holding a bear doll tightly, as if she was full of worries about her future life at Hogwarts.
The boat carried the group across the lake and drove to the cliff, where Louis inexplicably heard Hagrid shout:
"Keep your head down!"
Then, Louis silently looked at all the first-year freshmen, including the brothers George and Fred, all bowed their heads as Hagrid commanded, and when they looked back again, they realized that Hagrid was the only one who needed to bow their heads.
Hagrid's task is mainly to lead the new students to Hogwarts, so when Louis and other new students, under the guidance of Hagrid, gathered in front of the oak door in front of the castle, and lit the door three times with a worn pink umbrella, Louis first heard Hagrid cheer excitedly:
"Welcome to Hogwarts!"
Immediately, looking inside along the doorway, Louis saw a witch in an emerald green robe standing at the door, looking at the rain-soaked freshmen in front of the door, and nodded slightly at Hagrid:
"Thank you, Hagrid, and leave it to me."
"All first-year freshmen listen to me and follow me!"
Taking Hagrid's place, Professor McGonagall, with a slightly stern face, led the way and led all the new students into the castle.
However, Louie, who was in the crowd at this time, didn't know if it was his own delusion, he always felt that Professor McGonagall, who was leading the way...
Faintly focused on himself!
"I suddenly... And another sense of foreboding? ”
