***************************************************************
Hogwarts was founded in 993 by four of the greatest witches and wizards of its time: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. The four colleges within the school are named after them. Together, they built the castle away from the prying eyes of Muggles, because in those days, the common people were afraid of magic, and witches and witches were persecuted. In order to escape from ordinary people and the Holy See, they founded this school. After a thousand years of exhibition, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has become one of the three major schools of witchcraft and wizardry in Europe, and many important figures in the wizarding community in European countries have come from this school.
As soon as the train stopped, the students rushed out. They don't need to take their luggage, as the prefects have said before, these luggage will be delivered to their respective bedrooms. The older students were a little more stable, and the train journey along the way had allowed them to hold back for a holiday and talk to each other almost. But the new first-year students had never seen Hogwarts, or even heard of them, and even the descendants of pure-blood families were no better than Muggles, chirping like chickens that had just come out of the cage.
At the station outside the train, all the students were wearing black robes, and in this dark night, people felt numb when they looked at it.
In the carriage, seeing that there was no one in the whole train, Aosen walked out with Zhang Qiu. As soon as the train stopped, Zhang Qiu was about to get off with the crowd, but it was Aosen who stopped her. There is no point in squeezing around like this, and the first-year students have someone to entertain them, so they don't need to be in a hurry.
"First-year students! First-year students come to me! Are there any new first-year freshmen? Watch your step. Are there any new first-year freshmen? Come to me! If not, we're ready to go! ”
A giant stood in the distance and shouted loudly, it was Hagrid, the big man with half giant blood.
"Teacher, there are still people who haven't come."
A weak voice spoke, a girl with a brown head. She remembered clearly that there was a boy who was very handsome, and she peeked at the other party several times, and she had deeply remembered the other party's appearance. When I got out of the car just now, I started to peek and didn't see each other for a long time. The people in the same carriage said that it was also a freshman, but he was not here, seeing that the big man was about to leave with everyone, and no one else spoke, she thought about it and took the initiative to speak.
"Oh! Don't call me a teacher, I'm not qualified to be your teacher. I'm the key keeper and ranger at Hogwarts, so you can just call me Hagrid! Little girl, do you know who hasn't come here yet? ”
"I know, it's the heir of the Duke of Tyneville, Lord the Marquis of Somerset!"
A little boy said with a look of adoration. He is the heir to the Philip family and one of the pure-blood nobles, but unfortunately, his ancestors are only hereditary counts, and in his generation, because he has two older brothers, he can't even inherit the title of earl, at best he can only get the title of one viscount. Compared to the only duke in England, he was not even qualified to carry shoes. The other party is the most noble person in their entire aristocratic class, born in such a family since childhood, and under the influence of ears and eyes, the sense of worship of the Corser family is needless to say.
"The Marquess of Somerset......
Hagrid shrunk his neck at the words, a look of fear flashing across his face. He remembered clearly that three years ago, when the Duke came to inspect the school's teaching and facilities, he led a very cute-looking little boy - oh yes, very cute, Hagrid didn't know if it was handsome, but it was very cute.
But it was this cute little fellow who tossed him so hard that he quietly ran into the forest several times, and if it weren't for his sharp eyes, the ghost knows if the little guy would be in any danger. If he is really in danger, his head will not be enough to pay. And what's even more frightening is that the little guy is a magic genius, only seven or eight years old, and he has the strength of no weaker than the average adult wizard, he is afraid that the other party will be hurt, and when he is about to forcibly take the other party back, the little guy completely ignores the magic resistance of his body, and turns himself into a hamster. Thankfully, Professor McGonagall showed up just in time to turn him back.
Although three full years have passed since this incident, he is still a little scared when he thinks about it.
"It's coming! Here it comes! ”
I don't know who shouted, and everyone looked back.
But I saw that behind him, a boy wearing a red robe and a platinum hoop on his head was walking towards the crowd step by step, and he was followed by a girl with black smoke, who looked very cute, but was a little shy, and under the gaze of so many people, he wanted to hide behind the boy.
"Who is he?"
Someone asked curiously.
"Idiot, didn't you just say that? O Marquis Somerset, Lord Marquis Somerset! ”
"He's the Marquis of Somerset? Why is he wearing white? ”
"Isn't that nonsense? He is the only heir to the duke, and the duke in the future will definitely have to be different from us. Don't you look at the big man, his body shook a little when he heard the Marquis of Somerset? ”
"Oh, that's it, it's really amazing!"
This is a conversation between male students. On the side of female students, naturally these are not these problems.
"Ahh The Marquess of Somerset is so handsome! ”
"So stylish, so aristocratic, I really want to be his girlfriend!"
"Who is that woman? Why is she with the Marquess of Somerset? ”
"It must be that you want to ** Lord Marquis Somerset, damn fellow, she must be good-looking if you have a chance!"
"Look, Lord Somerset smiled at me, he smiled at me!"
"Nonsense, he's obviously looking at me!"
The girls are clearly looking in different directions.
But in any case, Orson's deliberate backwardness and his unusual outfit made a huge impression on the other students. In fact, this is also a way to change the direction of the world, while changing the fate of those children of fate and those related to them, if you can change the fate of enough ordinary people, you can also make a huge change in the course of the world, and the quantitative change can also achieve qualitative change.
Orson walked step by step, dressed in gorgeous robes, and everywhere he passed, the other first-year freshmen involuntarily made way for him.
Hagrid walked over briskly and bent down.
"Mr. Corser, shall we go now? Professor McGonagall......"
"Let's go."
"Okay!"
Hagrid was visibly pleased, and waved at the students behind him.
"Go, come on board with me, and I'll take you to the entrance ceremony!"
According to Hogwarts tradition, first-year students are required to travel to Hogwarts by boat, which is also to recreate the actions of the four wizards who founded the school.
……
After the boat docked, a group of eleven-year-old first-year students climbed up a tunnel in the rocks under the light of Hagrid's lanterns, and finally reached a flat, damp meadow in the shadow of the castle.
They walked up a stone staircase and gathered in front of a large oak door.
"Are you all there?" Hagrid raised a large fist and slammed it three times on the castle gate. The door opened immediately.
A tall black witch in emerald green robes stood in front of the gate. He wore a black tulle on his head, and his face was a little old, and his expression was very strict.
This is none other than Professor McGonagall, the Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts and the head of Gryffindor House.
A faint smile appeared on Professor McGonagall's face at the sight of this group of young students, and when she saw Orson, she nodded slightly at Orson as a sign of respect.
Orson nodded back.
"These are first-year freshmen, Professor McGonagall."
"Thank you, Hagrid. I'll pick it up here. ”
She opened the door, revealing a sumptuous marble staircase leading upstairs.
They followed Professor McGonagall down the stone floor. There was the buzzing of hundreds of people from the door on the right, who were supposed to be senior classmates at the school. Professor McGonagall, however, led the first-year students to a small, empty room at the other end of the hall. Everyone rushed in, huddled together, and stared nervously and carefully at the surrounding Yiqiē.
"Welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said, "the opening party is about to begin, but before you get to the dining hall to take your seats, 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 were: 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 violation 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.
In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of all the teachers and students of the school. I'm suggesting that while you are waiting, you should tidy up and be more energetic. ”
Professor McGonagall smiled with satisfaction after seeing Orson's almost standard attire.
"I'll pick you up when it's ready." Professor McGonagall said, "While you wait, be quiet. ”
With that, she left the room, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
