Chapter 10: A New Semester Begins
Benjamin and the others slowly stepped off the train, and then saw the familiar leader, Hagrid. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"This giant is going to freak out the new life again!" Draco whispered in Benjamin's ear.
"The first time I saw him, I didn't feel it at all. Benjamin silently answered.
Draco swallowed the next words, and Pansy laughed even more unkindly.
A few of them got into small boats and prepared to cross the black lake in front of the castle. Benjamin was actually a little worried about whether the weight of Crabbe and Goyle would make the boat capsize.
Since it wasn't raining at the opening ceremony, Hagrid was talking more and more to lead the way to the new students while standing in front of the boat.
He cleared his throat and began to introduce the new students to Hogwarts.
"Hogwarts, this is a legendary school of witchcraft and wizardry. It was originally established to give the wizards a place of refuge. At that time, sorcerers who could do magic were considered a symbol of evil. ”
Hagrid's voice is very strong, and it makes this history sound particularly atmospheric.
Benjamin was stunned, in fact, his world was at such a stage at this time. And in the distant magical continent, there are also people who have launched their rebellion.
It's just that they're a little more radical, they've created a magic council, and of course, there's a school dedicated to cultivating magic rooms, and they're trying to explore the mysteries of the world......
At this time, some of the young wizards clenched their fists even more, as if they were saddening the unfair treatment of their ancestors.
Draco noticed this, and said to the little boy next to him, "Hmph, but those Muggles think they burned the witches." In fact, those witches were so clever that the Muggle flame was a tickle for them. The ones who were burned to death were just a bunch of Muggles!"
At this time, the Black Lagoon was unusually calm, and it was actually difficult for Benjamin to think that under this Black Lagoon was their Slytherin lounge.
Hagrid seemed a little unhappy with Draco's interjection, and swiped forward vigorously before continuing, "This school of witchcraft and wizardry used to shelter wizards is Hogwarts in front of you. And its founders were none other than the four most gifted wizards of the time. Four colleges are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Zelytherin. ”
Hagrid said this, and then it came to an abrupt stop.
Because they had stopped at the gate of Hogwarts Castle, standing outside the door was still a black-clad and taciturn Professor McGonagall. The bun on her head stood tall and meticulous.
"Well, kids, welcome to Hogwarts. ”
By the time the group of freshmen walked into a separate small room, Benjamin and Draco had already arrived at the Slytherin table.
"Hopefully there will be more people in our academy. You see, there are almost twice as many people in Gryffindor as there are us. ”
Pansy didn't know when, but she had taken out a mirror from under her clothes, and was looking at it as she spoke.
Draco pursed his lips and disagreed, "Oh my God, I don't want our house to be as overcrowded as Gryffindor. Slytherin only welcomes the elite!"
After Draco finished speaking, Benjamin subconsciously glanced at the smirking Crabbe and Goyle, and Draco turned his head away in shame.
Not long after this episode, the sorting ceremony began.
Actually, Benjamin didn't care about the new students, and the only person he knew here was Ginny.
But don't even think about it, she'll definitely be in Gryffindor.
Soon, the dirty Sorting Hat reappeared, and it sang the school song that had not changed for a hundred years.
When its singing ends and the first name is called, it signifies the beginning of the Sorting Ceremony.
"Ginny Weasley!"
The red-haired little girl ran up with a red face, and she sat down nervously, her mind blank at this time.
When the Sorting Hat appeared on Ginny's head, it didn't immediately call out Gryffindor's name, as Ginny's other brothers did, but asked suspiciously, "Little girl, you're a pure-blood wizard, and your personality is quite suitable for Slytherin." By the way, you know what, there's one thing about you that fits so well with Slytherin......"
"Don't!" Ginny interrupted the Sorting Hat's ramblings, and said nervously, "My family is Gryffindor, and besides, Harry Potter is in Gryffindor......"
"Okay, okay, what a lovely girl. The Sorting Hat said helplessly, "Of course, it's a kind of courage for you to dare to say no to me, you belong to the brave Gryffindor!"
"Gryffindor!"
Benjamin cried out with joy when he saw Weasley's twin brother.
"Colin Creevey!"
A small, thin, gray-haired boy sat down.
Benjamin noticed that his eyes seemed to be looking in the direction of the Gryffindor, and there was no doubt that it was another Gryffindor.
As it turned out, Benjamin guessed right.
At this time, Benjamin subconsciously glanced back at the door, only to see two familiar figures.
Harry and Ron, all wet.
The two of them looked nervously around, apparently trying to sneak in while no one was looking.
Benjamin smiled playfully, as if considering whether or not to tell Draco about the scene.
And he suddenly saw that Professor Snape, who had left his place at some point, had appeared behind Harry and took the two hapless children away.
"What are you laughing at, Benjamin, you know, there are less than ten new students in Slytherin this time. ”
Draco said in Benjamin's ear.
"Oh, what a surprise, I thought, at least a little more. ”
At this time, the sorting ceremony had just ended, and after the group of freshmen had all sat down excitedly, Dumbledore began to speak.
Fortunately, Dumbledore has always been very concise, and soon, there is an endless amount of food in front of them, and they will pour you full juice at any time.
At this time, there were already students who found out that Harry and Ron were gone, which was normal, Harry was just too famous, Benjamin thought silently.
It's just that where did they come from, they would be so embarrassed, it looked like they had been beaten up.
"Benjamin, don't you have a good appetite? I don't think you have ever touched your chopsticks. Pansy asked with concern.
Benjamin shook his head and immediately denied it, "I didn't, I just, thinking about things." ”
