Chapter 17 Hogwarts(1/2)
Author: Director Wei
In the carriage, Hermione was talking about the curse in the textbook with great enthusiasm. She had many questions to discuss with Ted, and the uncontrollable excitement.
It's understandable that if I could learn magic, I would be even more excited than her.
The problem was that she kept asking Halle, what spell did the little wizards from the wizard families like Ron and Neville learn at home? Of course, the one who discolored the mouse did 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 full of humility and caution that belonged to poor students.
Jerry shivered even more.
Harley could tell a story about three, four, five, and six. Flying spells, disarming spells, etc. Ted has not yet been involved.
It seems that under Sirius' education, she learned a lot.
In the original work, Harry's talent is very good, and now he looks like this Harry is not bad at all.
The train was moving forward slowly, and it was about to shake people to fall asleep.
From noon to the sunset, the destination is still far away.
It's also very express? This is a tourist bus!
When the radio notification was announced on the bus, it was already dark outside the window.
Halle and Hermione went out first and gave the four little boys time to change their wizard robes. Then they changed them.
The train stopped quickly, and six people lined up and got off.
This is a small station, a bit simple. It's so dark that it's a bit hard to see clearly.
A very tall figure shouted in the distance with a horse lantern: "All new students come here, follow me!"
It is hard to ignore him because of his three-meter-high head and his loud voice.
"It's Hagrid, let's go there." Harley clearly knew Hagrid and rushed over with everyone, rushing in front.
"Oh, Harley, how are you? And Neville." Hagrid said hello in a low voice.
I followed Hagrid on a narrow path and soon I saw it wide.
They had arrived by the lake, and a row of small wooden boats were waiting for their new life.
There were a lot of moss on the stones by the black lake, and Hagrid shouted to Xinsheng: "Be careful of your feet and don't slip."
As soon as he finished speaking, two students slipped and almost crawled into the lake.
"Four people in a small boat, not many!"
Halle and the other four boarded the first boat, Ted and Hermione boarded the second boat.
After everyone got on the boat, Hagrid shouted "Go to set out" and the boat lined up and moved.
Each ship has a boat light, but it can only illuminate itself and cannot illuminate it too far.
The black lake beneath it is like a pitch-black mirror, reflecting the moon and stars in the sky without any slight waves.
A row of small boats seemed to be moving silently in the Milky Way...
The students were so nervous that they dared not speak out, and a complex emotion surged in their hearts.
Ted remembers that there are mermaids in this huge black lake, just a bit ugly.
Maybe the fishman is divided into varieties: yellow, white, agricultural and so on.
The mermaids in the Celestial Empire are called mermaids, and the main records are all marine varieties.
There is also a huge squid of unknown origin in the Black Lake, and the squid has no freshwater species.
This shows that the lake next to Hogwarts is a saltwater lake in the north of the Scottish Highlands.
If Scotland is too far north, there will be only bare highlands left...
So, there are large forests and castle ruins... Hogwarts is probably located just west of Lake Romon and north of Glasgow.
This is also in line with the huge sailboats of the Triwizard Mstrong's tournament emerging from the lake. Scotland's saltwater lakes are generally huge long lakes that directly lead to the sea, rather than inward lakes.
It is hard to imagine that Demstrong's ship could enter the freshwater lake through the shallow rivers on the high ground. It is probably a sea route.
Ted was idle and had no time to think divergently and began to calculate the position of Hogwarts.
"After turning this corner, you're about to see Hogwarts for the first time." Haeger turned around and shouted.
"Look carefully, this will be an unforgettable memory in your life." Ted said to Hermione softly.
Turning over the cliff, I saw the outline of the castle dotted with lights in the distance!
The closer it gets, the more grand the castle appears. Under the reflection of the light, it is so magnificent.
This is Hogwarts! Which Dark King is the best?
Hermione whispered: "The path that every new student takes is said to be to let us experience the hardships of the founder of Hogwarts to find the site of the castle."
"Maybe there are other deep meanings."
Ted noticed a trace of abnormality, and a huge magic connected himself with the castle in the distance.
This new student re-takes the old path of creating the four giants of the academy, which should be an ancient ritual magic.
Complete the entire process is equivalent to signing a contract with the school and becoming a student of the school.
"Look down~" Hagrid said roughly. The low and loud 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 by the dock of a cave.
Hagrid raised the lantern: "Down, come down. Follow me closely."
The freshmen got off the boat and walked up a row of steep stairs of more than 200 steps, and arrived at an open-air square surrounded by columns. At the end of the square is the gate of Hogwarts.
Hagrid walked forward and raised his fist as big as a sandbag to hammer the door, "Dongdongdongdongdong~" The door was thick enough when he heard the sound.
The one who opened the door was a bald and ugly old man whose hairline had reached the sky's spiritual cover.
If this were a hundred years earlier than the Qing Dynasty, it would be a bell!
"Is it a freshman? Just leave it to me."
Hagrid snorted like a roar of a car engine, "Felch, you'd better be kind to them."
Felch also snorted and expressed disdain.
He led the freshmen to the gate, muttering as he walked: "You'd better be honest. If you get the trouble and trouble, you'll be punished."
Ted's long-awaited voice rang.
"Ding~Triggered Task:
【Explore Hogwarts (Red)】
This is Hogwarts, the only magic school in Great Britain, and one of only three in Europe.

Wuhu, take off ~
Goal: Explore Hogwarts.

It must be said: No night travel is equivalent to not reading Hogwarts. Understand the applause!"
Felch looked quite old, but his legs were good and his steps were not slow.
The little wizards were not very physically strong. They first went up hundreds of steps in a tortuous manner, and came from the cave under the cliff to the gate. They were then taken by Felch for a race, and they were all out of breath.
I feel a little sweaty when I have poor physical condition.
Fortunately, they arrived at the place, and everyone was taken to another tall wooden door. Felch left a word "wait" and left without looking back.
The little wizards finally had a rest and began to whisper and discuss what they had just heard.
At this moment, there was a sudden low scream of exclamation.
Ted turned his head and saw several milky white translucent ghosts coming out of the wall.
The freshmen suddenly started to get noisy. Some young wizards from Muggle origin were shocked, and some even reached out to touch them curiously.
The ghosts were quite friendly and welcomed them.
Ted couldn't tell who was and who came.
Professor McGonagall had already pushed open the door and walked out. Her eyes swept around the crowd with a serious expression, and the little wizards became quiet.
"Before the school banquet, first determine which college you each enter," she said.
"Hogwarts has four colleges, and you will branch in front of all the teachers and students in the school. This is a very important ceremony. I suggest you sort out your appearance and prepare well..."
Her eyes paused on Neville and Ron.
