Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 6 The First Night

On this night, Gryffindor undoubtedly received the most attention, both from students and professors.

The savior of the wizarding world has become a Gryffindor, which undoubtedly makes this academy that has been brilliant since the 40s even more dazzling.

After all, which college can accommodate both the first of today's wizarding world and the savior of the British wizarding world?

Perhaps the ones who can fight a little bit, only the hotbed of Death Eaters - Slytherin.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Ravenclaws.

Generally speaking, the presence of the Kitty Hawks at Hogwarts is very low. Apart from competing for extra points from the professor in class and competing with Hufflepuff for the second worst in Quidditch competitions, they seldom become a storm in the school. figure.

"Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of human beings."

Ravenclaw's famous quote expresses to some extent the common trait of the kittens-always greedy for knowledge.

Other than that, it rarely attracts the attention of the little eagles.

After the sorting ceremony, Dumbledore gave another routine pre-school speech.Then, it was time for the dinner party that Ike was looking forward to.

Ike, who has lived for 11 years and endured fish and chips for 11 years, hopes that the Hogwarts dinner can bring him some surprises, even if it still focuses on British dishes, it should not be too monotonous.

In fact, this did not disappoint Ike.

Roast chicken, fried chicken, steak, lamb chops, compared with the days of Santa Maria, the meat is extremely rich.In addition to the first time, there are also western classic vegetarian dishes such as mashed potatoes and boiled broccoli, which are very rich with sweet pumpkin juice and fruit juice.

Ike took a steak, added some mashed potatoes, some broccoli, and poured a glass of fresh orange juice.Cut off a piece with a knife and fork in hand, the gravy is full of juice, quite like the feeling of chain steakhouses in memory.

Years of habit had made Ike take his time when dining, but this went unnoticed at the long Ravenclaw table.

That's what everyone does.

Smart people are always good at hiding themselves in the crowd in an unfamiliar environment, so even if there are one or two freshmen imitating the Gryffindor freshmen who open their hands left and right to show their heroism, they will silently pick up the knife after seeing how others eat cross.

After all, being able to be assigned to Ravenclaw at least shows that there is no problem in terms of IQ.

In terms of emotional intelligence, some people will start to get in touch with classmates around them, find some topics to chat with while eating, and then make friends quickly; others will not.

Ike was one of them.

At the end of the meal, the food on the table disappears, followed by traditional desserts such as pudding and ice cream.After every student had tasted it, they all disappeared again under the influence of magic.

Dumbledore stood up from his seat and clapped his hands, but the voice accurately reached everyone's ears, and the entire auditorium fell silent.

"Before the new semester starts, there are a few more things to say..."

"First-year freshmen should pay attention, the Forbidden Forest prohibits all students from entering."

"Mr. Filch, the administrator, asked me to remind everyone, please don't cast magic in the hallway."

"Finally, those who do not want to suffer accidents and die in pain, please do not enter the corridor on the right of the fourth floor..."

Dumbledore glanced around, finally smiled, took out his wand and waved, countless golden letters appeared in the air.

"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!"

The freshmen generally looked dumbfounded, and most of the old students looked unhappy.

There's no score for this damn thing!Anyone can sing with their favorite tunes!

The scene is really indescribable.

Ike bit the bullet and looked at Dumbledore's intoxicated conductor on the stage, while the Weasley twins in the audience seriously ended with the tune of the funeral march.

"Okay, next, I will invite the prefects of each college to take the freshmen back to the dormitory. I hope you have a good dream!" Dumbledore blinked cutely, turned and left with the professors.

"Freshmen, come with me!" Roger Davis, the male prefect of Ravenclaw, stood up and clapped his hands. "Please follow closely, our lounge is still some distance away from the auditorium."

The female prefect Penelope Clearwater who stood up with Roger also said: "Please keep up, every year there are freshmen who get lost when they go back to the dormitory for the first time, I hope this will not happen to you. "

There were not many freshmen in Ravenclaw this year, and everyone followed Roger and Penello to the Ravenclaw Tower obediently.

"Pay attention to the stairs, they are enchanted by Ms. Ravenclaw, they will move, and some steps will suddenly disappear, but don't worry, even if you fall, you won't be hurt, you just have to walk again." Penelope While leading the way, he said, "However, the movement of the stairs is regular. As long as you observe more, I believe you will understand soon."

"This is very important." Roger continued, "The entrance to Ravenclaw's lounge is at the top of the tower. Whether it is class or dining, you have to deal with these stairs."

"Unfortunately, because tomorrow is Monday, you don't have time to get familiar with this." Roger said with a smile, "So I think you'd better get up early to avoid being late."

A group of people climbed eight floors and finally came to the entrance of the Ravenclaw lounge.

A very old bare board, very unremarkable looking, with a bronze knocker on it.Roger knocked lightly on the bronze door knocker, and a voice sounded: "Which three words can answer all the questions?"

"I don't know." Roger replied after thinking for a while.

"That's a good answer." The bronze knocker sounded, and then the planks moved away, revealing a brick archway.

Roger beckoned the freshmen to follow, and he walked away and said, "If you want to enter the Ravenclaw lounge, you just need to answer the question on the door knocker. Of course, if you can't think of it, you can only wait for others to answer it." Come on, or spend the night outside the lounge."

"Believe me, that wasn't a good experience." Roger seemed to recall some unbearable memories, and shivered unnaturally, "Okay, now, welcome to Ravenclaw!"

With Roger's slightly excited tone, the Ravenclaw common room finally appeared in front of the kittens.

It was a large round room, with elegant arched windows on the walls, hung with blue and bronze silks.The dome is decorated with stars, as is the dark blue carpet on the floor.Facing the entrance is a white marble bust of Rowena Ravenclaw, and there is a door next to it, which is the door to the girls' dormitory.

The common room looked huge, with tables, chairs, sofas, and bookshelves on four walls.A fireplace is to the left of the entrance, above the fireplace is a statue of a bronze eagle, the symbol of Ravenclaw.

"Your salute and class schedule are placed on your dormitory bed, I think you can't wait to see your dormitory." Penello said with a smile, "now girls come with me, the girls' dormitory is upstairs .”

After finishing speaking, Penello led the three girls to the girls' dormitory along the stairs.Roger shrugged at the remaining five people: "Okay, the boys' dormitory is downstairs, come with me now..."

"There are only a few of you freshmen this year, but you are in two dormitories." Roger quickly came to the door of the dormitory, "I think you must have a lot to say, but I advise you not to talk too late. The first class is at Nine o'clock in the morning, if it's too late, you may not be able to get up, and it's not good to be late."

"Okay, senior." Ike and the others thanked Roger together, and Roger smiled and waved his hands, then turned and walked towards his dormitory.

Pushing open the dormitory door, it was a nearly circular room.There are two arched windows, and the three beds are separated by the windows, against the wall, with bedside tables between them.The ground is covered with a blue carpet with a pattern of an eagle in the center.There is a chandelier on the ceiling, which is emitting a soft light.On the other side of the room are three tables with a lamp on each.

There is a stove in the center of the room, which looks old but clean.Directly opposite the door is a large wardrobe, which is now open, and it can be clearly seen that it is divided into three areas.

The salute was placed on the bed, and it seemed that the beds had been allocated.Ike's is at the bottom, and he has no opinion on this point. After all, in terms of the environment alone, this is already much better than Santa Maria.

After all, apart from Julian's room and the reception room, there was no carpet in any room in Santa Maria.

"It seems that this is where we will live together for the next seven years." A chubby little man with short blond hair said with a smile, "Let me introduce, my name is Terry Boot, and my parents are wizards. Fact I've been waiting for a letter from Hogwarts, but I'm still excited when it does come."

"Stuart Ackley, both parents are ordinary people." Stuart is fatter than Terry, "If it wasn't for Professor Flitwick, I would have always thought it was a scam, after all, I have been admitted to Eton College .But who can resist magic?"

"By the way, do you know Eton? It's the best school in England! My dad told me so!"

"Sorry, I don't know." Terry shook his head, "I don't know much about the Muggle world."

"Well, you just need to know it's powerful." Stuart looked very proud, "By the way, your name is Ike, right?"

Ike nodded: "Ike Stride, from the Santa Maria Orphanage."

"Sorry, I don't know..." Stuart and Terry said quickly, and Ike waved his hands indifferently, "No need to apologize, it's nothing, I'm used to it."

"Okay, but from today on, we're your brothers, aren't we, Terry?"

"Of course!"

"Okay, good brothers." Ike smiled, and said while opening the box, "But I think we have to pack up and get ready to go to bed. After all, it's getting late. There are two potions classes tomorrow morning. It was said at the dinner that Professor Snape seems to be very strict..."

"You're right, Ike." Stuart replied, "You can't be late for the first class, especially Potions class."

"certainly……"
