Chapter 187: Opening Banquet
When Wang Yong came back to the carriage, Xue, Ginny and Luna sat together. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This year, Luna was a little crazier than she had been last year, sitting by the window, with unkempt, dirty, waist-length blond hair, a wand behind her left ear, a necklace strung with a butterbeer cork, and a magazine called "Singing Back" upside down.
Seeing Wang Yong walk in, she looked a little embarrassed.
"How's the summer going, Luna?" Wang Yong asked.
Luna said in a trance, "yes, it was a good time." ”
"Went hunting scimitar-horned snores with your father?" Wang Yong said with a smile.
"No, that's rare......" Luna's pale eyes looked at Wang Yong, and a pale pink flush appeared on her cheeks.
Wang Yong sat next to Xue, she was listening to a song, her eyes were slightly closed, leaning on Wang Yong's arms, the atmosphere was very comfortable. After a while, Susan also came and complained to Wang Yong about the violation of discipline.
The train creaked forward and took them to the empty countryside. It was a weird, fickle day. One moment the carriage was full of sunshine, and the next it was overcast and cloudy.
I bought some snacks at noon, and the four people who were swaying around played Gob stone chess, chatting casually.
It was getting dark, and finally it was completely dark.
Eventually, the train slowed down, and they heard a commotion all around again, as everyone was busy putting their luggage and pets together and getting ready to get off the train.
Wang Yong and Susan wanted to supervise the order, so they went out together, and the three of them walked together as a fourth-grade girl.
The two of them moved slowly towards the door, and could smell the scent of the pine trees on both sides of the path that led to the lake.
The job of maintaining order is very simple, just stand there and watch.
Wang Yong took Susan's hand and walked casually outside the platform.
Hagrid didn't show up this year, and a crisp female voice was shouting, "First-year students, please line up here!" All first-year students come with me! ”
Susan looked over curiously: "It's Professor Graplan!" ”
She's happy, after all, she doesn't have to go to see the Flober caterpillar anymore, does she?
"Hagrid didn't come?" Susan turned her head and asked Wang Yong.
Wang Yong stared at the brightly lit Hogwarts Castle in front of him, smiled and said, "Go on a mission, look for the giant......
Susan was surprised for a moment: "It turns out that last year's rumors are true......"
"Well, our professor has had werewolves, Death Eaters, ghosts, and a monster with Voldemort stuck to the back of his head, and it's normal for a giant hybrid to be mixed."
Susan nodded.
After sending off the students, Wang Yong and Susan boarded Thestrals' carriage and headed for Hogwarts in the darkening night.
At this time, most of the students have already entered the school, and only their prefects or student council presidents are still behind.
The carriage was lonely, creaking and staggering along the road. They passed the tall stone pillars on either side of the gate that led to the school grounds, topped by winged boars.
Susan was a little tired, but just held Wang Yong's hand and watched the lights of Hogwarts.
The carriage stopped at the stone steps leading to the oak gate.
Walking up the stone steps and into the castle, the foyer is lit red by torches and echoes the footsteps of the students.
Walk through the stone-paved floor to the two gates on the right that lead to the auditorium, where the opening banquet is held.
The auditorium was filled with four long college tables with a starless pitch-black ceiling, exactly like the sky outside they saw through the high windows.
Candles floated above the dining table, illuminating the silver-white ghosts dotted in the auditorium and the excited faces of the students.
They were happily talking, exchanging news from the summer, saying hello loudly to friends from other colleges, and examining each other's new hairstyles and clothes.
Wang Yong and Susan parted and walked towards their respective college tables.
Wang Yong sat next to the snow as usual.
Many of the Ravenclaw students greeted him, and he smiled in response, the rumors about Voldemort did not affect him much, after all, the increasing number of terrorist attacks showed that if not Voldemort's resurrection, it was the rise of a new dark force.
The deaths of Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe and the transfer of Draco Malfoy cast an ominous shadow over their current class, and they couldn't help but feel very relieved and happy to see the fully recovered Wang Yong come to them.
Wang Yong looked towards the teacher's seat.
Dumbledore sat in the middle of the long staff desk in a high-backed golden chair, wearing a dark purple robe covered with silver stars and a matching hat.
Dumbledore tilted his head to the woman sitting next to him, who was speaking into his ear.
He was walking towards a short, chubby man with short, curly taupe hair and a large unsightly pink bow that matched the fluffy pink cardigan she wore over her robe.
He had a pale, toad-like face and a pair of drooping, bulging eyes—Umbridge.
It's simply a combination of Dong Mingzhu and Koike Yuriko, quite spicy eyes, Wang Yong hurriedly removed his eyes.
Anyway, Umbridge's Defence Against the Dark Arts doesn't move anywhere, and if she wants to BB more of herself, then her tragic fate may come sooner.
Fortunately, a few seconds later, the door to the hall opened, and a long line of frightened-looking first-year students was led into the auditorium by Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall held a stool with an old wizard's hat on top of it, with patches on top of it and a wide crack in the frayed brim.
The buzz in the auditorium gradually subsided. First-year students line up at staff desks, facing their classmates from other grades.
Professor McGonagall carefully placed the stool in front of them, then stepped back. The faces of the first-year students shimmered pale in the candlelight.
Wang Yong crossed Erlang's legs, waiting for the singing of the Sorting Hat.
Then the crack by the brim of the hat opened like a mouth, and the Sorting Hat sang aloud:
A long time ago I was wearing a new hat,
Hogwarts wasn't built yet,
The four founders of the Noble Academy,
Thought they would never part ways.
The same goal binds them together,
Each other's wishes are so identical:
To build the best magic school in the world,
Let their knowledge be passed on and continued.
We will build a school together and teach together!
……
But then slowly there was a split,
And exacerbated by our shortcomings and fears.
The four colleges are like four stone pillars,
It held our school firmly.
Now they turn their eyes against each other,
Disputes continue,
Each wants to take power to himself.
There was a time when
The school is dying.
Countless noises, countless fights,
Former best friends turned against each other.
And then finally one morning,
The elderly Slytherin fled suddenly.
……
We must be closely united within ourselves,
Otherwise, everything will fall apart from within.
I have spoken to you bluntly,
I've sounded the alarm for you
Now let's get started with the division.
The hat was motionless again. There was applause in all directions, but there were whispers in between.
"Why did the Sorting Hat say these things this year?" Qiu Zhang asked curiously, she unconsciously approached Wang Yong.
Wang Yong smiled slightly: "Literally, I hope everyone is united." ”
