Chapter 29: Arrival
Harry in front of him also saw the clue, and whispered to Hagrid on the boat next to him, "That blonde-haired freshman doesn't seem to be in danger of his life, it feels like he's being toyed with by something." ”
After Harry's reminder, Hagrid also felt that something was wrong, everyone else in the boat had climbed back, and he was left alone in the water up and down.
Hagrid looked around, and after observing for a long time, he couldn't see who was casting a spell, so he could only wonder and said: "There is no trace of magic fluctuations anywhere, it is estimated that that kid is a magical creature that provoked the black lake." ”
After tossing Malfoy for a while, Chu Yang's qi was almost out, so he untied Mu Dun's power and let Malfoy get out of trouble.
Malfoy immediately felt the force that had grabbed his legs disappear and swam to the boat with the strength to feed.
Seeing the twigs and vines on the ship reced, Goyle and Crabbe carefully pulled the exhausted Malfoy back to the ship.
"Gross!"
Malfoy, who had just laid down, began to spit out water heartbreakingly, and who knows what was in the lake, he had just drunk a lot of things, so the scene was quite miserable.
"I think his first stop at school is the infirmary, and I hope the medical staff there can help him." Hermione spoke with three points of sympathy, and the rest was disgust.
Chu Yang nodded, smiling happily.
Hogwarts stands on a cliff, surrounded by water on three sides, and the cave directly below is the entrance to the school's waterway, and it looks like a monster's hideous mouth in the dark.
The little wizards looked up at the school towering above the cliff up close, and their mouths couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
It is only now that they have an objective understanding of the school they will attend, rather than staying in words and legends on paper.
The young wizards really felt that Hogwarts was the most majestic school in the history of magic, and there was no one!
The boat drifted all the way into the cave, and after a short period of darkness, the surroundings gradually lit up, and Chu Yang saw that there was a dock in the depths of the cave under the original castle.
The freshmen disembarked in an orderly manner at Hagrid's reminder, and then stood in groups.
Malfoy vomited like a mess of mud, couldn't stand up at all, and was lifted up by Goyle and Crabbe, looking dazed.
"He looks like he should have a hard time attending tonight's sorting ceremony......"
Hagrid muttered, leading the students up a winding stone staircase.
The stone steps end in a flat garden, and further on, the main entrance to Hogwarts.
At this moment, the door opened, as if a group of people had just been welcomed.
"Your seniors should have arrived, and you will see Professor McGonagall up the stairs, remember, be respectful." Hagrid reminded the freshman and walked straight up to Malfoy and scooped him up on his shoulder.
Malfoy had vomited almost, just a little better, and then he smelled Hagrid's strong body odor and the stench of animals, and suddenly vomited again.
Chu Yang faintly saw the other party's green bile, and began to reflect on whether he had gone too far?
"Poor boy, I need to get you to the infirmary right away." Hagrid shook his head pitifully and strode away.
The rest of the young wizards looked at each other, and then, as Hagrid had instructed, they went up the steps, and it was not long before they saw a slender, old-looking, stern-looking witch.
"Hello new students, welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I am Professor Minerva McGonagall, who will teach you Transfiguration classes in the future, and I am also the Head of Gryffindor House and the Deputy Head of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
Professor McGonagall wore a dark green robe, which accentuated her indifferent expression even more seriously, and the freshmen stood in front of her, unable to come out.
"Your seniors, the professors of the various courses, and Headmaster Dumbledore are waiting for you inside, but you need to do the sorting ceremony before the opening dinner begins."
"You're about to be placed in a different college, where you'll spend your seven years of study."
"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 the school, you will have to attend classes with other students in the college, live in the dormitory of the college together, and spend your spare time together in the common room of the college."
"Your outstanding performance will earn extra points for your house, and any violation will detract points for your house, and at the end of the year, the house with the highest score will receive the House Cup, which is a high honor, and I hope you will win glory for the house no matter which house you are assigned to."
Chu Yang listened to this familiar entrance education, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Chu Yang believed that no matter how many points Harry deducted from Gryffindor in the early stage, Dumbledore would eventually add up the points for various reasons.
Of course, Dumbledore wanted to train Harry Potter to be the savior, but whatever the motives, such an act in itself would be unfair to the other houses.
But fortunately, Chu Yang didn't have any idea about the so-called Academy Cup, no matter who it was, as long as it didn't interfere with his own research on magic.
After the orientation was completed, Professor McGonagall was about to lead the students into the banquet hall, but the corner of her eye swept away the water stains on Goyle and Crabbe.
Professor McGonagall frowned and walked up to the two of them, Goyle and Crabbe frightened, as if they could hear Professor McGonagall scolding them in the next second.
Professor McGonagall, who seemed serious, asked in a soft tone, "What's going on with you?" Could it be that he fell into the lake on the way here? ”
Professor McGonagall, who was meant to be joking, saw Goyle and Crabbe nodding cautiously.
"Can this fall in?" Professor McGonagall was full of incredulity, she cast a spell on each boat, which not only allowed the boat to automatically go to the docks in the cave, but also protected the students from falling into the lake.
"We've met monsters!" Goyle first glanced at Chu Yang in fear, and then explained, "There are monsters in the lake attacking our boat, and they don't stop until they get us into the lake. ”
"Monsters?" Professor McGonagall was surprised, "This is impossible, the route you came here is not the range of the magical creatures in the Black Lake. ”
"It's really Professor, Goyle and I are fine, Malfoy couldn't get on the boat, he was trapped in the water by that monster, drank a lot of lake water, and was just sent to the infirmary." Crabbe yelled from the sidelines, afraid that Professor McGonagall wouldn't believe them.
