Chapter 9 [Ritual Magic]
The train started.
The roar of the steam gradually overpowered the little witch's constant "I'm sorry" voice.
In fact, Neville and Harry didn't take it to heart.
This little thing has long lost its inertia, and it has been left behind by the moving train.
And their curiosity about Hogwarts is following the roar of the train.
Only Hermione had this thing to heart.
"Knock knock!"
"Kids, would you like to buy some snacks?" The train saleswoman opened the carriage door, and she pushed a trolley full of food.
Great, thank you, Auntie.
With the arrival of outsiders, Hermione finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, I'm going to buy some." ”
"By the way, what do you want to eat? I can invite everyone to eat together. Hermione said to the three.
"No, I'll just buy it myself." Harry pulled out a few silver sicos.
"My grandmother warned me before she got in the car, telling me not to be too greedy." Neville squirmed.
"I'll eat three servings!" Roque didn't hesitate.
Hearing Roque's words, Hermione was relieved: "Please bring me three ......"
"Chocolate Frog!" Roque added in time.
"Yes, Chocolate Frog, thank you."
With Harry and Hermione's spending, the sales witch left contentedly.
Hermione's consumption was restrained, but Harry, a nouveau riche, bought a lot, and under Harry's lure, Neville couldn't hold back and followed suit.
Although Neville's grandmother warned Neville, it's okay, our Neville is a big forgetfulness.
The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly relaxed.
Neville had a chocolate frog in his mouth and felt as if he had forgotten something, until he saw a chocolate frog jump out of the window and run for freedom.
"Oh no, I remember, my Riffo!"
"Levy?" Hermione was curious.
Neville hurriedly rummaged around the carriage, "Levle is a toad, it's my pet. ”
"Don't worry, it may have run out, but it should still be on the train, we can go out and find it." Hermione enthusiastically suggested.
Watching them toss back and forth, snacks being turned over, Roque also felt quite troubled.
"I'll help you!"
Roque took out his wand, and he remembered that there was a spell that worked well.
This spell is called the Flying Charm, and in general, this spell does not fully summon living creatures.
But in fact, it is not so absolute, and Newt, a magizoologist, used this spell to summon magical beasts to sniff.
In the original book, Harry successfully summoned flies, and Dean successfully summoned fish to fly.
Even more abstract, Hermione wanted to summon a book about Horcruxes, and Cutting-Edge Dark Arts Revealed flew in.
A good wizard can determine the properties of an item, lock a range, and then the items that match the range will fly in as desired.
It is one of the real high-level spells, and it is also one of the older spells in wizarding society.
"Toad, right?"
Roque closed his eyes, mana locked onto the train, and immediately read:
"Lev is flying!"
Before the three Hermione could react, Levif was already in Roque's hands.
"It's in the carriage." Roque took Lyford and took a look: "Hey, it seems that there is still the bloodline of the invisible beast." ”
Hermione's future cat, Crookshan, has a partial raccoon blood, and this type of pet tends to be safer than magical beasts and smarter than ordinary animals.
Roque also wanted a pet of this type.
He handed Lever back to Neville, "Actually, it's nothing, wizards' pets are very special, and they won't be lost unless they encounter predators." ”
"Thank you, thank you." I don't know if Neville listened, and he immediately hugged the toad to his lap.
Hermione's eyes widened, "What kind of spell is this?" ”
"The Flying Spell or the Summoning Spell, you can see it in Standard Spell Level 4." Roque silently put away his wand: "At the same time, it is also one of the test centers for the O.W.L. exam. ”
Hermione, in shock, quietly closed her mouth.
When she heard Level 4, she already knew that her current learning volume was by no means an opponent.
This is not even enrolled, you have learned this level on your own.
Okay, okay, that's it.
Harry said proudly as if he was in full glory, "What is a flying spell, not to mention that Roque's true skills have not yet been revealed." ”
"Will you too?" Hermione was shocked again, this was a fourth-year content.
Come to think of it, he is a boy who never dies, and he is mentioned in the books "A History of Modern Magic", "The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts", and "Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century".
In Hermione's shocked eyes, Harry's confidence faded.
In the end, he whispered a quibble: "No, I won't...... Still, I know a lot of other spells......"
Hermione: "......"
As time passed, no Malfoys came over and were slapped in the face, which made Roque a little concerned.
But after a while, the prefect came over and asked them to change into wizard robes, indicating that they were almost there.
After everyone takes turns to change their clothes.
Hermione quietly pointed at Roque.
"There seems to be a catkins on this side of the hair in front of you......"
Roque looked in the mirror and found that it seemed to be the fluffy hair, which should have been accidentally stained while at the station.
And the color of this hair is very light, if you don't keep staring at Roque carefully, you can't find it.
"Thank you for the reminder."
——
The train quickly stopped, and the little wizards, led by the prefect, lined up six people and got off the train.
The station here is not very big, and it is even a bit rudimentary.
And it's so dark that I can't see my surroundings clearly.
A very tall figure carrying a lantern shouted in the distance: "First-year freshman! First-year students are here! ”
"Harry, come over here." Hagrid's voice was a little louder, making Harry stand out among the young wizards, "How are you doing?" Harry. ”
It's hard to ignore him, because of his giant-like size and the sound of a bell-like voice.
Older students are to ride around Hogwarts in Thestrals from the main entrance to the school.
Young wizards, on the other hand, take a boat from the Black Lagoon to Hogwarts.
Naturally, the four of them got on the same ship, and each ship had a ship lamp, barely able to illuminate the way ahead.
The black lake below him is like a pitch-black cloth, carrying the ship to its destination without any waves.
In such an environment, the students couldn't help but be a little nervous, and they didn't dare to look at the black lake below them, for fear that some huge monsters would emerge from it.
There is indeed a monster, a huge squid of unknown origin.
In this darkness, Roque did not release the illumination spell, because all his attention was focused on the huge magic power.
This magic has been wrapped around every new student since the little wizards set foot on this path.
It's like a pact with a castle.
This act of "going through the path of the founder" became a ritual magic of an ancient spell.
Roque perused this special feeling.
The other little wizards were also silent, staring at the huge castle that reached into the sky.
As they approached the cliff on which the castle stood, it seemed to rise above them.
"Keep your head down!"
As the first boats approached the cliff, Hagrid shouted.
Everyone bowed their heads, and the boat carried them through the ivy curtain that covered the cliff front to the secluded open entrance.
They followed a pitch-black tunnel that seemed to lead to the castle underneath, and finally reached a place that resembled an underground pier, and then climbed up to the ground of gravel and small pebbles.
Before they knew it, the little wizards had climbed the stone steps and reached the castle gates.
