Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

After the rugged mountain road was lighted by the magic wand light, it became easy to walk.

"First-year freshmen, look up at the front."

No longer distracted from taking care of Hagrid at the end of the team, he felt a lot easier. He only reached the end of the path in less than half of the previous year. Hagrid turned back and shouted, "Turn this corner, you will be watching for the first time soon It's Hogwarts. "

At the end of the narrow trail, a sparkling black lake suddenly unfolded.

By the lake is a simple-looking wooden pier with twenty boats moored next to it. Elena was relieved not to see the oar on it. In this case, the driving force that drives the wooden boat forward is at least not manpower.

Farther away, the outline of a huge building can be seen faintly, but because the magic wand in the hands of the silver-haired girl is too bright, it can't be seen as real.

"Nox!" (Click for details)

Without waiting for Hagrid's reminder, Elena smiled slightly and read it softly, extinguished the light at the front of the wand and put her black walnut wand into her pocket.

"Knox ..." "Knox." "Knox!" ......

Behind her, a series of chanting sounds quickly sounded, and other little wizards also put their magic wands away in a way, and the "moonlight" in the crowd went out one by one. Finally, only the orange light of Hagrid's hand was left by the lake.

In the quiet darkness, the light and shadow outline of Hogwarts Castle gradually became clear.

On the high hillside across the lake, stands a towering and quaint castle with spires on the castle, a window flashing under the stars, a mysterious and solemn magic atmosphere haunts every child's heart.

"Thank you."

Hagrid turned his head and lowered his head to look at Elena who was standing beside him. The black beetle-like eyes flashed a gentle touch-worthy of being a student personally hosted by Professor Dumbledore, it was really a very flattering good child.

After quietly waiting for the children to marvel for a while, the giant clapped his hands vigorously and pointed to the small boat moored on the shore.

"Okay, there are a maximum of four people per boat. Time is running out, let's get on the boat."

The lake water slowly patted the shore, and the boat swayed slightly, which didn't look so reassuring.

Standing among the crowd, Ron was obviously one of the most unhappy, not because he was afraid of water.

It was because when he was chatting on the train (browing each other) more than ten minutes ago, he also vowed to tell everyone that the stories he heard from his brothers who went to school in Hogwarts, if the light is now bright At one point, his ears might be red again.

"Okay, I knew that Fred and George were lying to me again. But I didn't expect Percy to deceive people."

Ron looked at the dark boat and muttered sullenly. "Everyone of them said that the students of Hogwarts went to the school in a magic wagon that they could move."

"I heard my father say this, the council sponsored a batch of funds to the school, including the purchase of a new carriage."

Draco Malfoy also nodded and glanced slightly at the small wooden boat moored in the port. "I thought we would choose some more magical and safer way to reach the school instead of swimming over."

"Yeah, what if I accidentally fall into the water, I can't swim."

"Hush, I heard that Hogwarts prepares a batch of death lists before the branch ..."

There is no doubt that after the small activities of [fluorescent flashing], the little wizards have a lot of confidence and group awareness.

With Ron and Draco ’s complaints, and the reason that the fluorescent flicker has been extinguished, and the environment that was once again shrouded in darkness and cold mist, the little wizards began to whisper in the same place, the children who had originally taken their steps They also stood back one after another, looking at his companions hesitantly.

Although the British Isles are surrounded by sea water, it does not mean that most children can swim. In fact, contrary to most animals, people are usually more afraid of large waters than bright and warm flames, and this is more obvious in children around the age of eleven.

"Trust me, it's safe, every year we are like this."

Hagrid scratched her hair with some anguish, and her face full of beard was full of helplessness.

In fact, almost every freshman crossing the lake will encounter such a situation. How to persuade the first-year students to board the ship has always been a very time-consuming task. This is especially difficult for the unspeakable Hagrid.

"Okay, don't be noisy, listen to me-[fluorescent flashing]!"

The dampness of the lake was getting heavier, and Elena could feel that Hermione's body behind her had started to tremble slightly. If you continued like this, she might get cold. The girl frowned and took out her wand to light it up again.

With the girl's cold and sweet voice, the tumultuous crowd seemed to be enchanted with magic, and it suddenly became quiet, looking at the silver-haired girl standing in front of the queue with bright and bright fingertips.

"If you have read" A History of School at Hogwarts ", you will know that crossing the lake is a traditional ritual of Hogwarts. When the first-year freshmen come to Hogwarts every year, they must arrive by boat across the lake. Gwarts Castle. This is to imitate the scene where the four great wizards who originally built the school arrived at Hogwarts. "

"But in the book, um ..."

Hearing Elena ’s words, Hermione ’s pale lips subconsciously wanted to say something, and suddenly felt a pain in her palm. Then, Hermione felt that her right hand was once again put into a familiar warm palm.

Elena glanced at Hermione and shook her head slightly without leaving any traces, while saying that she took the initiative to lead Hermione onto a rickety small wooden boat, standing on the lake blue eyes and looking around A week, said softly.

"In other words, we are now revisiting the journey that the four great founders had taken. Now, does anyone want to go back to the boring carriage to go to school?"

"Of course I don't want to."

"Carriage or something, I'm tired of sitting."

Without any hesitation, Harry and Draco followed the boat as soon as Elena's voice fell.

The other first-year freshmen glanced at each other and nodded eagerly. Their faces were full of excitement. No more persuasion by Hagrid. With a sense of pilgrimage-like solemnity, they boarded the boat in twos and threes.

"Are you all on board?"

Hagrid looked around the river bank and determined that there were no students who had not placed orders. He took a boat by himself and patted the stakes on the pier. Elena felt a circle of extremely hidden magic ripples from the pier and followed The lake spread out.

Dozens of boats immediately drove forward through the mirror-like black lake, and passed through the cool mist on the surface of the lake. Hermione couldn't help but shivered again and shrunk behind Elena standing at the front of the ship's side. .

The entire journey across the lake was unexpectedly quiet. Everyone was silent and stared at the huge castle that was getting closer and closer. As they approached the cliff where the castle was, the sky-high castle seemed to stand above them, shocked.

Above the cliff, you can vaguely see an aerial promenade covered with ivy tents. Elena knows that this is where the last Harry broke the old wand, and it is also the most common couple in Hogwarts Castle. (Nue) Step (gou) scene.

Didn't wait for the girl to think about it. Soon, the boat carried them through the vines to a secret open entrance.

People entered a dark tunnel and seemed to have reached the underground of the castle, and finally stopped at a place similar to an underground pier. The ground of the pier was covered with gravel and small pebbles. Afterwards, under the illumination of the Hagrid Lantern, they followed a short stone path winding upwards in the mountains and finally reached a flat and wet grass in the shadow of the castle.

Continuing up the stone steps, the first-year freshmen gathered in front of a huge oak door, Hagrid raised a huge fist and knocked three times on the castle gate.

The door opened at once, and a tall, dark-haired witch in a dark green robe with a serious expression appeared behind the door.

"First-year freshman, Professor McGonagall." Hagrid said.

"Thank you, Hagrid." Professor McGonagall nodded, took out a pocket watch, and said with some surprise, "Compared to previous years, this year you are exceptionally early."

According to the experience of the past few years, the freshmen will take at least half an hour to reach the main hall of the castle. If it is the old wizard Ogg, who has some inconvenience and legs, to lead the way, the time will be longer.

So that now half of the seniors are still on the road, did not have time to reach the castle hall.

——Hey, it ’s that abominable and terrifying old catwoman ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Professor McGonagall!

Elena slowed down a little bit, mixing into the crowd, trying to make herself less conspicuous.

However, to her surprise, as she slowed down, the wizards almost immediately stopped subconsciously, just like they were by the lake, actively making way for the girl to guard in front. To the end, the marching crowd showed a strange concave shape, circled Elena in the center.

At this time, Professor McGonagall stood at the door and had a conversation with Hagrid. He glanced at the silver-haired little loli meaningfully, and there was a look of admiration in his eyes.

"Miss Elena Caslana, nice to see you again. I heard Hagrid say that it should be a very beautiful fluorescent flash, very good."

This group of little things without conscience! ! ! At a critical moment, no one was willing to give her a wall cover.

Elena, who was still trying to hide, heard that she was named, shook her body, her face was stiff, her heart spit out, she raised her head helplessly, and directly met Professor McGonagall ’s gaze, pulling the corner of her mouth. , Waved his paw weakly.

"Long time no see, Professor McGonagall."

It seems that Dumbledore should not have told McGonagall about the mortgage of Hogwarts.

Glanced at Professor McGonagall as usual, Elena secretly breathed a sigh of relief-otherwise, new hatred and old hatred will be added together, the new semester will really cool Hey.
