27. Branch
By the time we arrived at the station, it was already dark.
The sound of a long train whistle forced everyone to go back to their old ways and pack their belongings, and Sherlock was relieved that Pelos would have the Hogwarts man and his luggage alone and send them to their house's common room when the sorting was over.
"Let's go! Camilla, we're here! Sherlock beckoned to the little golden snake on the table, and although it was still awkward, Camilla was still very obediently wrapped around his wrist, as if he were wearing a golden bracelet.
"Wow~!"
Fred and George exclaim that their younger brother Ron, after getting the rat Spotted that Patcy didn't want, had been practicing the Whispering spell at home, invented by Sherlock, but had never succeeded.
Through the car window, you can see that there is a burly giant not far away, holding a standing lamp and dangling there.
Sherlock exited the carriage, with George and Fred following closely behind.
"All first-year students, come with me and watch your feet!" The giant's voice was so loud that it suddenly sounded like a thunderbolt.
"Master Sherlock, that's Hagrid, a friend of my parents, he's a nice person, he's the key keeper and caretaker of the woods at Hogwarts, there's a stone house built on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, maybe I can go to him more often at Hogwarts in the future, it will be interesting!"
Before Sherlock could speak, there was a sigh from beside him.
"Tsk! So Weasley's home was modeled after Hagrid's cottage, i.e. your parents were able to be friends with that kind of freak, Master Sherlock, did you? β
Sherlock glared at each other, sometimes when watching the Harry Potter series, Sherlock always felt that the twin brothers of the Weasley family, I am afraid that they are the best tempered brothers in the Harry Potter series, although they love to joke, but they are very good people and very generous.
"Shut up! Lupo Adams! Don't embarrass your family, your parents are great, and you're just a junior who doesn't have the right to insult others. β
Sherlock sometimes looked down on the children of these pure-blood families being so arrogant, so every time Draco went to Mephisto Farm, Sherlock always liked to correct the other party's thinking about the extreme pureblood concept, although it had little effect, after all, Draco couldn't live in Mephisto Yard every day.
"Yes! Master Sherlock! β
Lupo Adams, a descendant of the Addams family, had known each other at many banquets, and his father was one of the members of Funmond's Fox Friends.
"Poof!"
George and Fred snickered at the sight of Lubo's deflated appearance, and they were grateful that Sherlock had been able to stand up and teach this guy a lesson for insulting his parents.
And Lupo stared viciously at the twin brothers, Sherlock he didn't dare to offend, but like the Weasleys...... Hum!
"Everybody sit down, hurry up, you can't be late for the ceremony."
Hagrid used his loud voice to tell the new students that it was not possible to walk across the long stone bridge above like the seniors, and that the new students were going to Hogwarts Castle in a four-person boat.
Fred and George didn't continue to pester Sherlock this time, as the two of them were pushed away by a group of pure-blood children.
Among them are Lupo Adams, Dandeney Lestrange, and Femia Prince.
Not to mention that there is a Lestrange family here, as for the very beautiful and delicate black-haired girl who turned out to be from the Prince family, isn't Severus Snape's mother from the Prince family.
And it seems that all three of them are obviously pure-blood.
"Hello Master Sherlock, I'm Dandney, and I've heard your name for a long time."
"Uh...... Hello. β
"I'm ...... Femia ...... Femia Prince. β
"Hello, Femia, you're beautiful." When Sherlock saw that the girl seemed to be very shy, he couldn't help but quip, and sure enough, the other party was praised by Sherlock, and his whole face was like a red apple.
Black hair and black eyes, but she is the appearance of a high-quality Western woman, very much like a mixed-race girl, can it be said that the Prince family really has a little Eastern blood, and Snape's black hair is shiny and shiny.
"Haha, quietly Femia's appearance, I've never seen ......"
"I really know how to pretend, and I'm usually spicy like a tiger."
Lupo and Dandeni laughed, but under Sherlock's surprised gaze, Fimia kicked them both into the water one by one, and then returned to sitting shyly.
If Sherlock hadn't used his magic to get the two of them up and dry them, they would have been late for the sorting ceremony.
Upon entering the castle at Hogwarts, a tall witch in dark green robes was staring at them with a serious face.
"Professor McGonagall, this is this year's freshman."
"Okay, good work Hagrid."
Professor McGonagall glanced at the crowd with blue eyes, and all the freshmen shrunk their necks as if they had been shaved by an ice blade.
But only Sherlock knew that Professor McGonagall was a very good man.
Following Professor McGonagall, the stone walls are surrounded by flaming torches. The ceiling is so high that you can barely see the top. The faΓ§ade is a lavish marble staircase that leads upstairs.
Walking along the stone floor, Sherlock could already hear the buzzing of hundreds of people coming from the door on the right, and the rest of the school must have arrived.
"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. 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.
"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 earn extra points for your house, while any misconduct 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. β
