Chapter 4: Gryffindor
At best, he has to make a good impression on the professors, and he is halfway there, isn't he?
Hey!
The 'heartfelt' Melda-like chorus had already passed for a long time, and everyone slowly came out of the shock.
Under Dumbledore's 'special attention' gaze, the banquet, which was bound to become the talk of the new school, finally came to an end.
The freshmen of each college also returned to their dormitories under the guidance of their respective prefects.
Along the way, Melda is the one that has attracted the most attention besides Harry Potter.
It's just that this kind of attention is indeed tacitly agreed by everyone to keep a certain distance from him.
Following the moving staircase of the corridor, Percy led the group to the seventh floor of the castle, at the end of which hung a portrait of a fat lady.
"Password?"
"Dragon scum." Prefect Percy replied.
As Percy answered the correct password.
The fat lady nodded happily and moved out of the way, and the Gryffindor common room was finally revealed.
The burning fireplace bursts with golden sparks, illuminating the emblem of a lion carved above, and the walls are covered with huge scarlet tapestries with portraits of many fine wizards.
As the freshmen walked in, the portraits on the walls poked their heads out to look at the crowd.
"Another bunch of good guys." A portrait of a person made an approving voice.
Melda, who heard the sound, also looked at it. It was a handsome gentleman in armor. Judging by the style of the paintings, they should belong to the 19th century.
This is because the portrait as a whole presents the characteristics of Impressionism.
It can be placed in the common room of Gryffindor, and this gentleman must be a famous wizard as well.
But alas, Melda didn't know him.
"Thank you, Sir Gracoum." Percy responded politely.
Then he turned to the new students and said, "Welcome to the Gryffindor common room, the boys' dormitories are upstairs on the left, and the girls are on the right." β
Percy pointed to the staircase behind him and continued, "The salute has been sent for you. β
"Alright, disbanded now." With that, he hurried upstairs.
Looking at Percy's hurried departure, Melda guessed that the future director of the Ministry of Magic's Department of Transportation should be preparing for this year's O.W.Ls exam, that is, the ordinary wizard level exam.
A poor kid driven crazy by the exam, thinking of this, Melta looked back coldly at Hermione, who was a long way away from her.
This will also be a child driven crazy by exams in the future.
With Percy's departure, the old students also scattered and left together, after all, they had not seen each other for a holiday, but they were holding back their words.
The new students, on the other hand, began to look for their own dormitories in the midst of mutual tugging.
Melta was lucky. As soon as he went upstairs, he saw his luggage around the corner.
In fact, he didn't know it was his, after all, the memory was messy. But he was literate, and he couldn't even see the big sign next to the bed.
"Harry, come here, I see your bed made."
Melda had just stepped into the dormitory when she heard a reckless voice behind her.
"Damn George, he lied to me that the freshmen were going to fight trolls. This guy..."
The little wizard who pushed the door was also red-haired. Freckles on the bridge of the nose. Behind him was a little boy with eyes.
"Hi, hello."
"Hello!" Melda said kindly.
Hogwarts has seven school years, so it's important to build relationships with your roommates.
"Are you on the wrong track? The girls' dormitory is on the right. Ron asked, puzzled.
"Huh?"
Melda was stunned for a moment, then explained, "I'm a boy. β
He looked a little angry, muttering something on his bed.
Why do you always think of him as a girl? Although Melda traveled from another time and space, his gender can still be distinguished, so why do you think he is a woman? It's just insulting.
"Oh?"
Ron looked a little surprised, the delicate face, the autumn water under the eyebrows, seemed to be a little angry, his cheeks puffed up and looked fleshy, such a beautiful girl, you told me that it was a boy?
If this is true, it's also too much to believe.
Ron looked at Harry next to him, and Harry's expression was even more exaggerated than his, looking at Melda in disbelief.
His face was a little strange, and there was a little doubt in his eyes, is this girl really a boy?
"Hello, I'm Harry, Harry Potter."
In contrast to Ron's recklessness, Harry was a little restrained, and Melda guessed that our little Harry had just 'escaped' from his aunt's house, and might still be a little uncomfortable.
Melda is very open-minded, after all, he is originally such an eclectic (reckless) character. Ron's recklessness was soon forgiven.
After only a while, a few people let go, and the chatter was in full swing.
"Oh, you're pretty cool, I think you're the most famous first-year besides Harry."
As the conversation began, Ron began to talk about what had just happened in the auditorium.
He didn't feel ashamed of Melda's performance in the auditorium, and even had some strange movements in his eyes, probably planning to do the same next time.
It is estimated that it was brought bad by George and Fraser, so that it would be such a terrible idea.
If Dean Professor McGonagall had known about Ron's little idea at this time, she would not have minded a little personal tutoring with this freshman who had just entered the school.
The kind that closes the little black room.
After a while, the other two people in the five-person dormitory, Neville Longbottom and Seamus Finigan, joined in.
Ron shares his experiences at the Burrow and anecdotes about being teased by his two older brothers, Neville is shy and just goes along with it, and Seamus keeps sharing anecdotes about Quidditch.
Speaking of the highlights, Harry and Ron were excited, but unfortunately when they learned that the first year was not allowed to join the house's Quidditch team, they were immediately disinterested.
Melda also shared some memories of what he saw in France. This made the little wizards who had never been far away exclaim again and again.
"That's cool, I didn't expect Melda to be to so many places." Ron looked at Melda with envy in his eyes.
"I don't think so, but I envy you, Ron. How happy your family is to live together. β
Melda's words immediately caught the eyes of the other two young wizards present, and Neville and Harry looked at him together. From Melda's account just now, the two of them already knew that the classmate in front of them, like herself, was missing an important part of the family.
This same experience also deepened the friendship between the two of them for Melda, and after several exchanges, the two quickly became good friends.
As the night wore on, exhaustion finally beat the excitement of a few people. As Seamus exited first, the rest of the group returned to their beds.
The first night at Hogwarts came quietly.
