Chapter 17 Hogwarts
In the carriage, Hermione has been talking about the spells in the textbook with great interest. She has many questions to discuss with Ted, and she still has that uncontrollable excitement.
Understandably, if I can learn magic, I'm more excited than she is.
The problem is, she kept asking Harry, Ron, and Neville, the young wizards in wizarding families, what spells did they learn at home? Of course, the one that changed the color of the mouse does not count.
Ron: I think someone is targeting me!
But it was obvious that Neville and Ron didn't want to talk about this topic, and their faces were painted with humbleness and caution that belonged to scumbags.
Jerry trembled even more.
Harry can tell a lot. The Flying Curse, the Disarming Curse, etc., these Ted have not yet touched on.
It seems that under the education of Sirius, she learned a lot.
In the original book, Harry's talent is very good, and looking at it now, Harry is not bad at all.
The train wobbled forward, almost shaking people to sleep.
From noon to sunset, the destination is still far away.
Express? What the heck is a sightseeing car!
Waiting for the announcement on the car to arrive at the station, it was already dark outside the window.
Harry and Hermione went out first, and it was time for the four little boys to change their wizard robes. Then change them.
The train stopped quickly, and six people got off in a row.
Here is a small station, a bit crude. It was so dark that I couldn't see clearly.
A very tall figure held a lantern and shouted in the distance: "New students, come here, follow me!"
It's hard to ignore him, because of his three-meter-tall stature and his bell-like voice.
"It's Hagrid, let's go over quickly." Harry obviously knew Hagrid, and led the crowd to rush over, rushing to the forefront.
"Oh, Harry, how are you? And Neville." Hagrid greeted "in a low voice".
Following Hagrid along a narrow path, the road opened up in front of him soon.
They have reached the lake, a row of small canoes are waiting for new students.
There is a lot of moss growing on the stones by the Black Lake, Hagrid reminded the new students loudly: "Be careful where you step, don't slip and fall."
As soon as he finished speaking, two students slipped their feet and almost got into the lake directly.
"Four people a small boat, not too many!"
Harry boarded the first boat, Ted and Hermione boarded the second boat.
After everyone boarded the boat, Hagrid yelled "Go", and the boats lined up to move.
Each ship has a ship light, but it can only illuminate itself, not too far around.
The black lake below him is like a pitch-black mirror, reflecting the moon and stars in the sky without any waves.
A row of small boats seems to be moving silently in the Milky Way...
The students were so nervous that they didn't dare to speak out, and a complex emotion surged in their hearts.
Ted remembered that there were mermaids in this huge black lake, but it was a bit ugly.
It may be that murlocs are also divided into varieties: yellow, white, agricultural and so on.
The other side of the Celestial Dynasty is called the shark, and the main records are all marine species.
There is also a huge squid of unknown origin in the black lake, and there are no freshwater species of squid.
This shows that the lake next to Hogwarts is a saltwater lake in the northern part of the Scottish Highlands.
If Scotland is too far north, there will only be bare highlands left...
So, there is a large forest, and there must be castle ruins... It is estimated that Hogwarts is west of Loch Lomond and an area north of Glasgow.
This is also in line with the Triwizard Contest where Durmstrang's huge sailboat emerges from the lake. Scottish saltwater lakes are generally huge long lakes that directly lead to the sea, rather than internal flow lakes.
It is difficult to imagine that Durmstrang's boats can enter the freshwater lakes through those shallow rivers on the highlands. Probably by sea.
Ted had nothing to do to diverge his thinking, and began to calculate the location of Hogwarts.
"Turn this corner, and you're about to see Hogwarts for the first time." Hagrid called back.
"Look carefully, this will be an unforgettable memory in your life." Ted said softly to Hermione.
Turning around the cliff, the silhouette of the castle dotted with lights can be vaguely seen in the distance!
The closer you get, the bigger the castle looks. Under the reflection of the lights, it is so magnificent.
Here is Hogwarts! Which one will the Dark Lord cultivate to be strong...
Hermione whispered: "Every freshman takes this road. It is said that it is to let us experience the hardships of the founder of Hogwarts in finding the location of the castle."
"Maybe there are other deep meanings."
Ted noticed a slight abnormality, and there was a magnificent magic power connecting himself with the castle in the distance.
This new student retook the old path of creating the four giants of the academy, which should be an ancient ritual magic.
Completing the whole process is equivalent to signing a contract with the school and becoming a student of the school.
"Look down~" Hagrid said roughly. The deep and sonorous voice was like an echo from a cave.
The boat approached the cliff, and there was a hidden cave under the steep cliff. The boat carried the students forward and stopped at the pier of a cave.
Hagrid held up the lantern: "Get down, come down. Follow me closely."
The freshmen got off the boat and went up a row of steep stairs with more than 200 steps, and came to an open-air square surrounded by columns. At the end of the square is the gate of Hogwarts.
Hagrid stepped forward, raised his fist the size of a sandbag and hammered on the door, "Boom, boom, boom~" From the sound, the door was thick enough.
The one who opened the door was a bald ugly old man whose hairline had reached the sky.
If this was a hundred years earlier in the Qing Dynasty, at least it would be Baylor!
"Is it a freshman? Just leave it to me."
Hagrid snorted, like the roar of a car engine, "Filch, you'd better be nice to them."
Filch also snorted in disdain.
He led the freshmen to the gate, muttering to himself as he walked: "You better be honest, if I catch you doing tricks, you will suffer from old crimes."
Ted's long-awaited voice sounded.
"Ding ~ trigger task:
【Explore Hogwarts (Red)】
This is Hogwarts, the only wizarding school in Great Britain and one of only three in Europe.
The thousand-year-old school does not know how many secrets are hidden waiting for you to explore. What are you waiting for?
Discover them, find them, exploit them!
Wuhu, take off~
Goal: Explore Hogwarts.
Progress: 1/100%
Reward: 1000 experience, +1 skill point, random card.
It must be said: no night tour is equivalent to not having read Hogwarts. Understand the applause! "
Filch looked quite old, but he had good legs and feet, and his steps were not slow.
The little wizards didn't have much physical strength, first they zigzagged up hundreds of steps, from the cave under the cliff to the gate, and were led by Filch for a race walk, all of them were out of breath. .
Those with poor physique are sweating a little.
Fortunately, they also arrived at the place, and everyone was led to another tall wooden door. Filch left a sentence of "wait", and then left without looking back.
The little wizards finally had a rest, and began to whisper and discuss what they had just seen.
At this moment, there was a sudden low-pitched exclamation.
Ted turned his head and saw a few milky white translucent ghosts coming out of the wall.
The freshmen suddenly began to make noise. Some young Muggle-born wizards were overwhelmed with surprise, and some even reached out and touched it curiously.
The ghosts are quite friendly and welcome their arrival.
Ted couldn't tell which of them was which.
Professor McGonagall had already pushed open the door and walked out. With a serious face, she glanced around the crowd, and the little wizards fell silent.
"Before the school banquet, first determine which college you each enter." She said.
"Hogwarts has four houses, and then you will be sorted in front of the teachers and students of the whole school. This is a very important ceremony. I suggest you tidy up your appearance and prepare well..."
Her eyes paused on Neville and Ron.
Neville's cloak was a little crooked, and there was a black streak on Ron's nose, which may have been caused by the rapid march just now.
The others are not much better, just like those who fled famine.
Filch put everyone together as soon as school started!
Professor McGonagall also talked about the Academy Cup and scores, and seemed to be very honor-oriented.
Professor McGonagall returned to the auditorium, and everyone immediately started talking.
Whether they are Muggle-born or pure-blooded, everyone is worried.
There are even more opinions about the sorting ceremony.
Hermione has nervously started to recite the knowledge in the textbook, and she is worried that there will be an entrance exam for the sorting ceremony.
"Don't worry, I won't take calculus." Ted frightened her~
Hermione glared at Ted: "What time is it..."
"Come in, please." At this moment, McGonagall came back, and she led the students into the auditorium.
Four long tables are placed in the middle of the huge auditorium, and the tables are full of students of different ages.
There are courtyard flags of different colors hanging on the surrounding walls, such as green snake, blue eagle, red lion, and yellow badger.
The roof of the shed is a transparent ceiling where you can directly see the stars when you look up.
Hermione whispered in a low voice afraid of alarming something: "I saw this in "Hogwarts, a School History"..."
Ted nodded: That's right, the effect of the ceiling of the school auditorium is—it looks like there is no ceiling.
