019. Journey from Hogsmeade Platform
Harry Potter, who just turned 11, celebrated an unforgettable and dreamy birthday not long ago. On the day of his 11th birthday, he realized that he and his parents were both wizards.
And there is also a magic school in this world called Hogwarts, which specializes in accepting young wizards like him, and learn how to use magic—they even use owls to deliver admission letters!
After Diagon Alley first came into contact with the magic world, Harry Potter has been looking forward to the beginning of school days, which was completely unimaginable in the past.
You know, because of cousin Dudley's deliberate isolation, his experience at school is not better than at home.
Harry Potter finally ushered in September 1st with trepidation and expectation. With the help of the enthusiastic Weasley family, he passed through the walls of Kings Station in a magical way, arrived at the nine and three quarters of the station, and boarded the train to Hogwarts.
On the train, he met several young wizards who were also freshmen, both friendly and annoying.
Through the introduction of these little wizards, Harry finally understood a little about the magic world, although this understanding was very one-sided.
As the sky became darker outside, the train Harry was on was about to arrive at the station.
Harry Potter, together with his friend Ron Weasley, whom he had just met, got out of the car after the train arrived at the station, followed the crowd and came to a dark and small platform.
Through the faint light next to him, Harry barely saw the words "Hogsmeade Station" on a wooden sign next to him.
Just when the two of them didn't know what to do next, a familiar and friendly voice suddenly came from not far away.
"First-year freshmen! First-year freshmen come here!"
Hagrid held a lantern in his hand and shouted loudly. His huge body was extremely conspicuous among the group of little wizards. All the freshmen in the first grade began to move in his direction when they heard his shout.
Harry and Ron are no exception.
"Is there a little wizard sitting on that big man's shoulder?"
Ron rubbed his eyes and poked Harry beside him without certainty.
With the dim light, Harry Potter saw a figure about the same size as him sitting on one side of Hagrid's shoulder. The figure seemed to notice Harry's gaze, and suddenly turned his head and met his and Ron's gaze.
Both of them were shocked because their eyes were like cats, and in this dim environment, a green light reflected.
The little wizard on Haig's shoulder is naturally Fei Xu.
Due to Fersh's performance in Diagon Alley, Professor McGonagall was very worried about putting him on the Hogwarts Express, so he canceled the plan to let Fersh go through the Hogwarts admission procedure in full.
But the distance between the freshmen entering Hogwarts Castle was set by the Big Four when they were founded, so after thinking about it, Professor McGonagall handed Firsh to Hager and asked him to start from the terminal and follow other freshmen to enter Hogwarts.
In the past few years since he was adopted by Professor McGonagall, there were occasionally wizards who came to visit his home, including Rube Hager, a big man. Because he had strong hair on his body, Fei Xu always had a good impression of this big man.
The bad old man Dumbledore, who was also very strong, was able to live in peace after he deliberately made Fei Xu angry a few times.
"Harry, come here, how are you?"
Hagrid followed Feish's gaze and saw Harry not far away. He smiled and waved to Harry.
Harry also raised his hand and waved it twice, then leaned towards Hagrid with Ron.
After getting closer, they saw clearly the appearance of the little wizard on Haig's shoulder.
The fluffy silver-gray hair, the same green eyes as Harry, and the round little face will bring an inexplicable feeling of favor at first glance.
The little wizard was competing with a hard pancake. His cute appearance caused the little witches around him to whisper, and even the boys couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Come on, come with me, are there any freshmen in the first grade? Be careful under your feet, okay! Freshmen in the first grade come with me!"
Hagrid swept around and there were no other little wizards on the platform except him. Then he held up the lantern and walked towards a steep and narrow path next to it.
This path is not only steep, but also very slippery. The lanterns of Hagrid are limited, so they stumble all the way, and no one has the time to speak. Except for the occasional sniff of Neville, who lost the toad, the only thing left is the crackling sound of Fei Xu when he chewed the rock crust.
"After turning this corner, you're about to see Hogwarts for the first time."
After walking down the steep path for a while, Hagrid, who was leading the way in front, suddenly turned around and shouted.
All the little wizards immediately breathed a sigh of relief and cheered loudly together.
Turning past the end of the path, what appeared in front of the little wizards was a black lake. On the uphill slope across the lake, a towering castle stood.
“There can’t be more than four people on each boat!”
Hagrid pointed to a small boat moored on the shore and said loudly. When the little wizards heard this, they all chose the same boat as their familiar partners.
"Have you all been on the boat?" Hagrid confirmed, and took Feish to the front ship, "That's good... go forward!"
Most of the little wizards were immersed in the scenery before them, looking at the towering castle in the distance and silently, only Fei Xu was lying on the boat, resting his chin on the edge of the boat, staring at the black lake without blinking.
"Big man, how about the fish in this lake? How does it taste?"
After observing the Black Lake for a while, Fei Xu turned his head and asked Hager.
He had already smelled the prey.
Although Feixu is now used to cooked food, his hunting instinct has not been lost. The little things swimming under the lake are calm, making Feixu feel a little excited.
Unlike ordinary cats, Fei Xu is not afraid of water, and he even likes swimming.
"Don't do stupid things!"
Hagrid, who knew how willful the little guy in front of him was, quickly held Fei Xu down.
If he didn't hold him down, this little guy would really jump into the lake to catch fish.
Haeger agreed to Professor McGonagall to look at Feish carefully.
"When the school opening ceremony is over, Hogwarts will provide you with dinner. There are a lot of delicious food there, made by the house elves in Hogwarts. You don't need to catch fish by yourself."
Fortunately, Hagrid and Feish have a good relationship and know how to comfort this little guy.
"Oh well……"
He looked at the swimming fish under the lake reluctantly, Fei Xu licked his lips, then recalled Comey's skills, and finally gave up the idea of going into the water to catch fish.
