Chapter 18: Hello, Hogwarts

During this time, Hermione, a brown exploding head, knocks on the door and asks if the three boys have seen Neville's toad.

But probably because there was no Ron to cast his crappy magic on the side, Hermione didn't come in at all, and hurried away.

Is she really a warm-hearted little witch?

"I think we're going to have to change into wizard robes, the train is about to arrive. Rolf put down the information on the Transfiguration Spell Model in his hand, looked at the dim sky outside the window, and got up and said.

I saw him take out the wizard's robe that he had prepared long ago from his suitcase and put the robe directly on his body.

"Is this box your grandfather's?" Malfoy on the side apparently knew something about Newt's experience.

"Of course, it was given to me by my grandfather, but it shouldn't be the one he used to have, and the space inside is not very large. ”

It seems that Malfoy, who grew up under the influence of wizarding aristocracy, still has some understanding of some legends in the wizarding world.

Harry, on the other hand, listened to the conversation between the two with a confused expression, and he felt that the two little wizards in front of him were very different from the others.

When everyone else heard that his name was Harry Potter, they would scream in surprise and brag about themselves like stars.

While it was comforting to be touted, it didn't fit Harry's character, and too much praise would only make him feel embarrassed.

And the two little wizards in front of him are obviously from a wizarding family with a long heritage, and when facing themselves, they don't curry favor too much, which makes it a lot easier for Harry to get along.

But one thing that is not very good is that I often hear them say things that they don't know, but they seem to be common rumors in the wizarding world.

He decided to make up for his knowledge of this area after the start of school.

After Malfoy saw Harry's puzzled expression, he thoughtfully explained to Harry: "Rolf's grandfather, Mr. Scamander, is the author of our textbook "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"!"

It dawned on Harry that he had always thought that where had he seen the surname Scamander?

The train slowed down slowly, and finally stopped. The little wizards pushed and shoved, rushed to the door, and descended to a small, dark platform.

A lamp flickered overhead, and Rolf heard a voice shouting, "First-year freshmen!"

Above the crowd, Hagrid's bearded face smiled at Harry's side and shouted to the crowd.

"Come on, come with me, are there any first-year freshmen? Watch out for the soles of your feet, all right! First-year freshmen come with me!"

They followed Hagrid, stumbling and stumbling, seemingly descending a steep and narrow path.

It was pitch black on both sides of the path, and at the end of the path was the Black Lake, and Hagrid pointed to a group of small boats on the shore and warned loudly, "No more than four people per boat!"

Rolf walked to a boat and saw a little girl with blond hair sitting on the boat, with the remaining three empty seats just right for the three of them, so he took the lead and sat down, followed by Harry and Malfoy.

"Are you all on board?" Hagrid took the lead in a boat towards the castle.

On the lake, the moon is clearly imprinted on it, and as the boat rows by, the reflection of the moon is scattered, and then slowly converges.

Rolf looked at the little girl with blond hair, but she was holding a book and looking out at the lake, and she didn't speak.

Rolf couldn't bear to disturb the girl's musings, so he didn't speak, and the group arrived at Hogwarts Castle in this quiet atmosphere.

Everyone disembarked and walked towards Hogwarts Castle, which had already appeared in front of everyone.

After rounding a flight of stairs, a tall dark-haired witch in an emerald green robe stood in front of the gate with a serious expression.

"Thank you, Hagrid. I'll leave it to me here. "Looks like Professor McGonagall?" she said to Hagrid with a serious face.

This stern-faced Professor McGonagall is really different from the one in the movie who says, "I should find Mr. Finigan to perform the explosives".

She led the group down the stone floor and led them to an empty room next to the hall.

"First of all, welcome to Hogwarts, I'm the Headmaster, McGonagall Minerva, and the Headmaster of Gryffindor," Professor McGonagall said with a grimace.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, the opening party is about to begin, but before you get to the dining hall and take your seats, first of all, you should decide which house you will enter in.

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 are: 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 earn extra points for your house, while any misconduct 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 suggest that you get in order and be refreshed while you wait. With that, Professor McGonagall left the room, apparently preparing for the sorting ceremony.

"How can they assign us exactly which house we are going to?" asked Harry, who was following Rolf, nervously as Malfoy beside him.

Rolf chuckled slightly, and although he knew how the sorting ceremony worked, he also knew the traditions of the sorting ceremony.

He wasn't going to spoil the memory that would leave a lasting impression in the minds of the young wizards.

As much as Malfoy struggled to keep his composure, Rolf could tell from his trembling fingers that he was nervous as well.

Rolf looked amusedly at the nervous little wizards around him, and he vaguely heard some speculation that it was a duel with a giant or something.

After the Fat Friar greeted the first-year students and invited them to join Hufflepuff House, Professor McGonagall walked back and said, "Now move forward, the sorting ceremony is about to begin." ”

The Fat Friar and the other ghosts wandered through the opposite wall and disappeared. "Now, in a row," Professor McGonagall said to the first-year students, "follow me." ”

They walked out of the room, through the foyer, and through a double door at the back into the lavish dining room.

There are 4 long tables in the hall, and on each table are some senior wizards, who are warmly welcoming the arrival of new blood.

There are a number of candlesticks floating around, illuminating the entire hall.

Rolf heard a voice from behind him, "There are spells cast here, and they look like the sky outside, I read about them in Hogwarts, a school history." ”
