Hagrid led a group of fledgling wizards down the path, both sides of the path were pitch black, McGoth guessed that this should be Hogsmeade, the original book said that Hogsmeade lived in wizards, from this town, the wizard's nightlife is really barren enough, you must know that it is at most about eight o'clock.

Stumbling down the slope, Hagrid shouted, "You can see Hogwarts after this corner." Everyone, keep up. ”

"Wow......" There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd.

McGoth led Hermione and Harry to the front of the group, and at the end of the path they saw a huge lake, full of boats, and it looked very simple, and because it was so dark, it felt as if there was no end on either side of the lake. On the other side of the lake, by the glimmer of moonlight, a huge shadow could barely be seen, and from the spires of the building, it was a huge castle, and even if Magos's own home was a castle, it was nothing compared to her.

"Okay, see the boat in front of you, pay attention, each boat can't have more than four people, now you go up one by one, pay attention to your feet." Hagrid exclaimed, pointing to the boat moored on the shore.

Magos and Hermione climbed onto the nearest boat, followed by Harry and Ron. He looked back at the crowd, but because it was too dark and there were a lot of people, he couldn't find Neville, Malfoy, Anthony, or other friends he knew.

"Are you all on board?" Hagrid shouted as everyone got on board, he took a few steps back, looked at it for a moment, and then he was in a boat by himself.

"That's good...... Go ahead!"

He steered the ship to the front, and Magos saw his ship sink more than everyone else.

All of their ships had been enchanted with some kind of magic, and no human power was required, and when Hagrid said that, all the ships began to move forward slowly, for which there were several more exclamations from the group.

As the boat farther and farther from the shore, the shadow on the other side of the lake grew, and the crowd, which had been a little noisy, gradually subsided, and everyone stared at the huge castle that reached into the sky and breathed lightly, lest they wake up this greatness that did not exist. As they approached the cliff on which the castle stood, it seemed to rise above them.

?“ Keep your head down!"

As the first boat approached the cliff, Hagrid shouted. Everyone looked down, and McGoth saw that Hagrid was almost lying on his stomach in the boat, which was too low for him. The boat carried them through the ivy curtain that covered the cliff front to the secluded open entrance. It was pitch black inside, and there were no fingers in sight, and the entire fleet only had a small lantern at the very top of the leading ship emitting a faint light, like a soul-attracting lamp guiding the souls of the dead in the River Styx, everyone was silent only the sound of the water flowing, everyone's nervous heartbeat accelerated, and Hermione squeezed Magos's hand hard. They followed the dark tunnel to what seemed to be the underground of the castle, and finally came to a stop at what resembled an underground dock, where Hagrid disembarked and lifted the lantern and took out the fire inside to light the surroundings.

"Everyone, boat by boat, be careful not to fall into the water, there is something unfriendly in here." Hagrid's words caused a panic in the fleet, and everyone tried to stand in the middle of the boat. He laughed and dragged the boats in front of him one by one to let the people inside get off the boat, and then pushed them aside with all his might.

Once everyone had disembarked, Hagrid had them stand in three rows on a ground of gravel and pebbles. He went to check if anyone had left anything on the empty ship, and when he had done so, McGoth saw that he pushed one of the empty ships out of the dock, and all the empty ships automatically followed it in the same way they came, as if returning to where they had boarded the ship.

Hagrid picked up his lantern and shouted, "Follow me, don't be left behind." Then he led a group of young wizards up a tunnel in the rocks, which was also dark, and there was no one to speak but the sound of footsteps, and at last they came out of the dark tunnel to a flat, damp meadow in the shadow of the castle.

There was already light here, and the nervous mood of the little wizards slowly relaxed, they turned their heads one by one, and everyone walked on the stone steps while exchanging the route just now, everyone didn't quite understand why they had to work so hard, but although they were frightened all the way, they were still very satisfied and excited about the trip just now, and they were even more looking forward to the upcoming Hogwarts. Looking at the pair of shining eyes behind him, McGos somewhat understood the meaning of the school's arrangement, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy......

When everyone reached the platform at the top of the stairs, a large oak door blocked their way.

"Are you all there? See if anyone is left behind. The little wizards turned their heads to look at the people around them, and nodded one after another.

Hagrid grinned, raised a large fist, and slammed the castle gate three times.

"Peng, Peng, Peng."

The door immediately opened, and a tall dark-haired witch in an emerald green robe stood in front of it, which made McGoth think that she had been standing there waiting for Hagrid to knock. She glanced at the young wizards standing behind Hagrid with a serious expression, and the noise of the young wizards disappeared in an instant.

"First-year freshman, Professor McGonagall." Hagrid said.

"Thank you, Hagrid. You go to the lobby, and I'll leave it to me. ”

Hagrid nodded, glanced at Harry, and walked through Professor McGonagall.

With a wave of Professor McGonagall's hand, the door opened completely, and this hand completely caught the attention of most of the young wizards, who let out another exclamation of amazement.

"Quiet!" Her voice was not loud, but it was clear to everyone's ears. "Line up and follow me in."

As McGoth stepped through the door, he kept looking around, it looked a lot like Gringotts, with flaming torches around the stone walls on both sides, and when he looked up, the ceiling was so high that it was barely visible, and in front of it was a sumptuous marble staircase that led to the upper floor. They followed Professor McGonagall up the stone floor, when a sudden feeling of enlightenment hit their brains. In front of them was a huge hall, and Magos had never seen such a large hall before, and there was no edge to be seen at a glance. Even he couldn't help but exclaim at this moment, if it wasn't for the clear entrance to the door just now, he suspected that they were actually still outside on the plain.

Professor McGonagall stopped at the front now.

"First of all, I would like to welcome you to Hogwarts, the school of witchcraft and wizardry." Her cold voice rang out.

"The opening party is about to begin, I think you all know a little bit about Hogwarts before you start, and before you take your seat, make sure which house you will be into. The Sorting House is an important ritual because while you are in 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. She paused, seeing that no one objected, and continued.

"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 misconduct will result in a loss of points for your house, and at the end of the year, the house with the highest score will receive 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 suggest that you get in order and be refreshed while you wait. Now, you come with me first. As she spoke, she led them to a small door, "Prepare yourself here first, and I'll pick you up later." Please be quiet while you wait. With that, he turned and left.

As soon as she left, the whole group began to talk, everyone looked nervous, and McGoth saw Malfoy, who was trying to look like he didn't care with his head down, but judging by his slightly shaky hands, he had failed. It seems that even if he comes from a pure-blood family, there is no difference between him and them. Next to him, Hermione was silent, her hands clenched, completely oblivious to the presence of the others, Harry and Ron looked nervous, but when they saw McGoth looking curiously, they were surprised that he didn't seem to feel anything.

"Why don't you look nervous at all?" Harry asked in a trembling voice.

"Why be nervous?" McGoth asked a strange rhetorical question, which left Harry unsure of what to reply. Of course, I'm nervous if I don't get in. He roared in his heart, but he was not embarrassed to say it.

"But Fred said there would be a test that would cause a lot of damage to the body." Ron's words made the already nervous little wizards even more nervous. Harry's expression was already a little stupid, he didn't understand anything. Looking at Magos enviously, he will use spells, it must be fine.

"Trust me, he lied to you." However, looking at Ron's expression, he should believe his brother more.

There was a scream of terror from the crowd, and dozens of transparent figures floated out of the wall behind them.

"Don't be afraid, they are ghosts and will not harm us." Magos shouted to the crowd.

"Freshmen?" Magos's voice caught the attention of the ghosts, and a ghost in a tuxedo floated over and asked.

Seeing Magos nodding, he said happily, "I hope you can get into Gryffindor, I graduated there before." With that, he walked through the stone wall next to them.

"Line up and follow me." Professor McGonagall is back.
