Chapter 3 Plot Missions
"Sir over there! You're Headmaster Dumbledore's new teacher from China, aren't you?"
It turned out that this was the reception of the teachers of the magic school, and they were specially responsible for receiving new teachers like Ling Zifeng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Harry thanked Ling Zifeng and went to find the student carriage behind.
Ling Zifeng was not in a hurry to be wiped out and let Harry leave, because the entire train was only 150 meters long, and the 300-meter limit was no problem at all.
The train sped all the way and soon came to a quaint and solemn castle.
The entrance to the castle is not far from the end of the train, and at a glance you can see the towering iron gate outside the castle, and the relief on the door looms in the light of the city's lights, revealing an air of mystery.
Through the iron gate, you can see a medium-sized lake, the water is clear and cold, deep and blue, I don't know how deep, there are several small black wooden boats scattered on the shore of the lake, and a cobblestone passage is connected to the middle of the lake.
Dozens of "horse-drawn carriages" were used by the senior students to enter the castle from this passageway, and the carriages carried the students swaying forward, looking both magical and eerie.
There is a strange custom at Hogwarts for first-year freshmen, who must cross the lake in a small wooden boat when they enter the castle for the first time, and Ling Zifeng walks with the freshmen to the lake, only to see a "huge" man standing there.
Ling Zifeng knew that this was the school's groundskeeper, Hagrid, who was so tall because he had the blood of a giant, but this seemingly rough man had a very kind heart and was a good man.
Hagrid beckoned the students to take the boat, and when he found that Ling Zifeng was also in the crowd, he said in a rough voice, "You're a new teacher, why didn't you go to the carriage?"
Ling Zifeng was asked by him for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, he couldn't say that I had to follow Harry Potter or I would die, right?
Seeing where he was still stupid, Hagrid shook his head helplessly and said, "Come and get on the boat and let's go together." ”
Ling Zifeng followed the direction he pointed to the boats, because he was worried about the restrictions of the Lord God, he deliberately walked towards the search boat that Harry Potter was on.
It just so happened that there were only three people on the ship, Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione, and he naturally boarded the small boat and exchanged names with everyone.
The huge man waited for everyone to sit down, and sat alone in an empty boat, and the boat was pressed by his huge body, and suddenly shook violently, splashing a lot of water.
Seeing this situation, he can only take one boat alone, otherwise there will be one more person, and he is afraid that the boat will capsize.
In the lake in front of Hogwarts Castle, a group of small boats, led by a "huge man", headed towards the castle gate, Ling Zifeng looked at the small boats moving slowly, and wondered in his heart.
This plot feels meaningless, except for the novelty that can make children feel novel, it is just a tidbit that attracts readers, after all, "Harry Potter" was originally written as a children's bedside book.
Before he could think anything more, the "giant man" at the front of the fleet shouted, "Welcome, first-year students, and our new teacher. ”
"I'm Hagrid, the Hogwarts School groundskeeper, and now I'm leading you into the castle. This is an old tradition that will test your loyalty and courage. ”
Hagrid continued, "This lake is not only a forbidden area, but also a place to expel those who have good intentions, because the four founders of the school have set up security measures that have kept the school safe for thousands of years. ”
As he said this, Hermione, who was in the same boat as Ling Zifeng, pursed her lips disdainfully and muttered something in a low voice. Ling Zifeng looked at it in his eyes and asked curiously.
Hermione leaned over to him and whispered, "This is just a general situation, there have been people with bad intentions who have entered the castle in history, and it is mentioned in the History of Hogwarts. ”
According to the school history, the lake was a ban placed by the four founders. They maintained this prohibition through certain creatures in the lake, and the creatures in the lake multiplied and were passed down from generation to generation, and this prohibition continued. But that's not insurance at all! What if one day all the creatures in the lake died? Isn't this ban going to an end? ”
Hermione's voice was a little loud when she said this last sentence, and Hagrid, who was sitting in the boat in front, also heard it, and said with a smile: "Little girl, do you know what kind of creatures are in the lake?" Will they die? Don't be kidding! ”
Hermione muttered unconvinced, "Isn't it just the fish in the lake, which is recorded in the Hogwarts School History." ”
Hagrid laughed and said, "Isn't it a fish?" Hahaha, they're no ordinary fish! As soon as he finished speaking, a huge foam suddenly appeared on the surface of the river around the boat, and the lake also swelled.
"Boom".
Hundreds of flesh-colored tentacles burst out of the water with Hagrid's words, splashing everyone with water, and the tentacles were only as thick as the trunk of a big tree, and the suckers the size of bowls were growing on them, and everyone on the boat was scared and disgusted.
The students screamed, "Ah! Giant octopus! ”
There are dozens of octopuses appearing on the surface of the lake, and the octopuses slowly rise out of the water with hundreds of tentacles, until they reach the height of three or four floors, surrounding dozens of small boats, and everyone on the small boats is frightened and white.
Seeing this, Hagrid laughed and said, "Don't worry, they won't hurt everyone, you see how cute those fleshy tentacles are." ”
This Hagrid is really a guy who likes strange creatures like the original book, and actually uses the word "cute" to describe the octopus tentacles.
Ling Zifeng scolded in his heart: "Your sister! What's so cute about this? ”
"Ahh
Suddenly, Ling Zifeng, who had just complained in his heart, shouted loudly, because he was half a beat later than the other students, which seemed very abrupt, and everyone around looked curiously here.
Ling Zifeng didn't scream because he was frightened, but because he was scratched and hurt, Hermione, who was in the same boat with him, stared in horror with round eyes, her body stiffened, but her hands grabbed Ling Zifeng's thighs.
The little girl's nails had sunk deep into the flesh of her thighs, and he cried out in pain.
"Stop, stop~ Stop pinching, my thigh is going to break!"
Hermione woke up and hurriedly let go, and found that everyone was looking at her, she blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment, and forgot to apologize to Ling Zifeng in a moment of embarrassment.
"Hahaha." There was a burst of laughter all around, diluting some of the tension.
Ling Zifeng rubbed her bruised thighs and thought depressedly, "Hermione, this little girl has too much strength, right?" How scared she was of the octopus. ”
He looked at the tentacles around the boat, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Your sister, Lord God! This plot change is too obvious, right? ”
"I'll just say that this plot is meaningless, are you like this? Besides, this fart lake can raise so many octopuses? What do you eat with all these things?。。。。。。 ”
Ling Zifeng didn't know what the octopus was eating, and neither did the freshmen in the same boat, but seeing these octopuses surrounding them, looking like they were waiting to feast, everyone would feel deep fear.
Ron muttered quietly at this time, "You say, are the octopuses hungry?" ”
Everyone shouted in unison: "Shut up! ”
Although Hagrid repeatedly assured that the octopus would not hurt anyone, the hundreds of white tentacles in the field were still disgusting and terrifying to watch.
Hermione's little face gradually turned white, and she was about to vomit, seeing her situation, Ling Zifeng didn't know the thoughts that came out there, he took her left hand and pressed her tiger mouth slightly.
Hermione was stunned for a moment and was about to exclaim, but she found that she felt less disgusting after feeling soreness in her mouth.
"Teacher, thank you I'm much better, teacher, you're so good, what kind of ability is this?" Looking at Hermione's delicate eyebrows and beautiful face, it is obvious that she is a beautiful embryo.
Her big dripping apricot eyes shone brightly, her pink cheeks showed a hint of delicate loveliness, and her full lips shone softly in the moonlight.
The little girl looked at Ling Zifeng gratefully, and there was a lot of admiration and even admiration in her big sparkling eyes. Ling Zifeng, who was watching it, was secretly surprised, this little girl won't have a good impression of me, right?
[Gain Hermione's favor, increase your luck by 1%, and your total luck value at this stage is 1%. The cold voice of the main god resounded in Ling Zifeng's mind, and he was pleasantly surprised, "Huh! Is that okay? Can pickled girls really grab luck? This bandit is really comfortable. ”
Since this is the case, Ling Zifeng will no longer be polite.
So he replied, "It's called acupuncture point massage, and more!" Don't catch me anymore! Hermione nodded embarrassedly, looking a little cute and shy, Ling Zifeng couldn't help but admire again.
Harry on the side saw that Hermione was no longer disgusted, and said excitedly, "It's amazing, is that right?" I also felt like throwing up. ”
After speaking, he followed Ling Zifeng's example and pinched his left hand.
Ling Zifeng nodded to Harry in approval, and everyone around him immediately looked at each other to study, and they were also disgusted.
Looking at the way everyone on the boat pinched their hands one by one, I don't know if people would think that they were carrying out some kind of cult prayer ceremony.
In the middle of the treatment room, suddenly a "horse-drawn carriage" galloped from the other end of the lake passage and rushed towards the castle gate.
The octopus gathered around the boat was attracted by the people in the carriage and instantly left the boat and swam towards the passage in the lake.
The octopus left too quickly and splashed everyone in the lake, and everyone wiped the cold and fishy water on their faces, and they didn't care whether the taste was uncomfortable, and they all looked at the galloping carriage curiously.
On the carriage sat a man in a gray-blue robe, his head wrapped in a strangely shaped strip of cloth, looking like an Indian Ahsan, the man looked in horror at the lake constantly urging the horse that "did not exist" in front of the carriage, hoping to run faster.
The octopus was much faster than the carriage, and soon caught up with it before it was about to enter the castle.
Seeing that the octopus was about to overturn the carriage, the man in the carriage quickly took out his wand from his bosom and waved it violently.
The white light flashed, and the octopus in the lake froze on the spot, and the unhindered carriage galloped into the castle.
"Who was that?" The people in the lake asked each other suspiciously, and Hagrid, who was leading the way at the front, frowned slightly, and he did not say anything and led the boat on its way to the castle.
Hermione, who had just recovered her breath, was shocked and shouted, "That person did a magic just now!" ”
Ron rolled his eyes and said mockingly, "Isn't this nonsense, I can see it with my nostrils!" ”
Hermione angrily argued, "It's in the lake!" This is the Forbidden Zone! It's written in the school history! How could he possibly unleash magic? ”
Ling Zifeng and Hart on the side narrowed their eyes, and they thought to themselves at the same time, "If you can't release magic, how can these ships move?" How did those wagons go? ”
Hermione saw the expressions of the two and immediately guessed what they were thinking, so she explained: "It is said in the school history that the boat is propelled by the fish in the lake, and there are special horses pulling in front of the carriage, but ordinary people can't see it. ”
"So how did he do it?" Ron asked Hermione absently.
Hermione replied, confused, "I don't know, it's not normal!" Unless the school history is all a lie, otherwise the person just now is too incredible. ”
Ling Zifeng wanted to inquire more carefully, but the fleet had already docked, and everyone began to disembark and walk towards the gate of the castle.
Hagrid beckoned everyone to follow him into the castle, and at the same time approached Ling Zifeng and said, "You come with me in a while, the new students will hold a sorting ceremony, and we will go to the faculty seat to watch the ceremony together."
