Chapter 6 The Black Lake in the Shadow of Oars and Lights

Yugaya pulled a flashlight out of his backpack and finally lit up the path under his feet.

Ron looked at the half-exposed erhu in Yugaya's bag, and then at the flashlight in her hand. "What's in your bag?"

"A girl's belongings." Yugaya replied as a matter of course.

No one spoke on the road, and Yugaya heard a chuckle beside him.

As soon as I turned my head, I saw the boy I saw on the train before, and I didn't notice my feet, and I was about to fall down if I skidded.

Yugaya was stopped by his waist and embraced, and then he steadied himself and stood up.

"It's you." Yugaya smiled and thanked him.

"My name is Carlisle, Carlisle Slughorn. What about you? โ€

"Yugaya Chang. You can call me Yugaya. โ€

After turning a corner, the narrow path reaches the end. In the hazy skylight, the black lake spreads out, enveloping the majestic castle on the high mountains on the opposite bank in its own reflection.

Above the Black Lake, under the night sky, half light, half shadow.

"No more than four people per boat!" Hagrid exclaimed, pointing to the boat moored to the shore.

Harry and Ron got into the boat, Yugaya was one step behind, Neville and Hermione joined them, and Yugaya was in the same boat as Carlisle.

"Where is Yugaya from? I don't think you're a kid of the wizarding world, but you're not like a normal Muggle wizard. Carlisle saw Yugaya wandering around the world with his backpack in his arms, and took the initiative to talk.

"It's in Surreyshire, London. Put the difference in what you say, probably because of my mother. She is a Chinese wizard. Yugaya glanced at him and replied slowly.

"So, I haven't been in contact with Huaxia wizards, and I don't know if they're just like us. Can you talk to me about it? Carlisle's deep eyes are focused on Yugaya, giving the impression that he is engrossed in communicating with you.

"How old are you, you must not have been in contact with it, not even me, my mother died when I was a child." Yugaya smiled very naturally, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him.

Maturity is not aging, but smiling with tears in your eyes.

Carlisle looked at Yugaya, with black hair and black eyes, fair skin like a porcelain puppet, and the whole person was as beautiful as a finely carved work of art, if it weren't for the agility in his eyes, he would look so delicate that he didn't look like a normal person.

People will have an uncanny valley effect on robots and puppets that are similar to humans in appearance and movement, and feel that they are as stiff and terrifying as walking corpses because of the subtle differences in their high resemblance to themselves.

When Yugaya sits quietly, because of her overly prominent appearance, she gives people the illusion of a resurrected puppet.

This is also a big reason why she doesn't have many friends.

"He's really docile." Carlisle commented in her heart, unconsciously reaching out and rubbing her hair, "What about Yugaya's father?" โ€

Yugaya tilted his head against his palm, tilted his head and looked up at him with a pair of big cat eyes.

After a moment, he slowly spoke: "I don't know. โ€

"Don't know?" Carlisle slowly withdrew her hand against her fawn-like wet gaze.

Yugaya then re-aligned his gaze and spoke slowly: "I haven't met him, Uncle Garfield said I'm half-blooded, so my father is probably English. โ€

"Oh~ Do you want to find your father? Hogwarts may have bloodline magic to find someone. Carlisle suggested.

"Why are you looking for him?" Yugaya asked, puzzled.

Carlisle froze for a moment, then smiled softly, her immature countenance tingling a different kind of seductive temperament.

With the boat moored, the procession reached the pier.

In Neville's ecstasy, he retrieves his pet Rifle who had gone out for a walk.

The young wizards finally saw the doors of Hogwarts and were handed over to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall took a few steps toward the singing Sorting Hat, a roll of parchment in her hand.

"Now, whoever I call by name, he puts on his sorting hat and sits on a stool and listens to the sorting house." She said, "Hannah Abbott! โ€

[There has been, Hufflepuff Iron-Beaten Hannah!] ใ€‘

Yujaya: ???

A ruddy-faced little girl with two blonde braids stumbled out of the queue and put on a hat that just covered her eyes.

She sat down, pausing for a moment - "Hufflepuff!" The hat shouted.

The people at the table on the right applauded Hannah and welcomed her to their table. The Fat Friar's ghost waved happily at her.

ยทยทยทยทยทยท

"Hermione Granger!"

Hermione almost ran to the stool and hurriedly buttoned her hat to her head.

"Gryffindor!" The hat shouted.

Yugaya heard Ron snort.

Neville shattered everyone's impression of him and was assigned to Gryffindor.

Harry was sorted into Gryffindor to the cheers of the Gryffindors.

Carlisle, as everyone had thought of him, was assigned to Slytherin.

The red-haired Weasley belonged to Gryffindor.

"Yugaya Chang!"

Yugaya was the last, and all eyes were on this excessively pretty girl.

"Qiu, she seems to have the same surname as you, do you know each other?" At the Ravenclaw table, a girl asks another beautiful Oriental girl beside her.

"I don't know, she seems to be of mixed Chinese and British descent." Cho Chang looked at Yugaya and shook his head.

"Hopefully she'll get a Ravenclaw."

Ron and Harry also looked at Yugaya, hoping that the little friend they had just met would be placed in the same house as them.

Even the professors were staring at each other.

As the finale, Yugaya stepped forward calmly under the gaze of everyone, and slowly put his hat on his head.

"Hmm." Yugaya heard a small voice, "Another difficult choice. Pure-blooded, wise, not bad at heart, and some courage. โ€

Yugaya shook the hat on his head and asked inwardly, "So, can I choose for myself?" โ€

"Oh roar, so honey, can you tell me your future goals?"

Yujaya thought for a moment, seemed to think of something, and replied seriously: "I think the reason why I came here is to gain more knowledge, to explore the unknown chaos, to face the twisted path of truth, and keep walking!" โ€

"Wow! That's a great goal! You must be a qualified Ravenclaw! โ€

"No, I want to go to Gryffindor." Yugaya denied its conclusions.

"Why?" The Sorting Hat asked, puzzled.

"Because..." Yugaya only vaguely had such a concept, and after thinking for a long time, he organized his words and replied slowly but firmly, "Because I want to have the courage to overcome my fears more than my innate pure blood and accumulated wisdom." This is my goal now, and I hope that my future self will never be the same, and I will always face all the fears and unknowns on the road to truth. โ€

"Oh oh oh ~ it's really touching!"
