Change the world from Hogwarts
Chapter Nine: Hermione Granger
Gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid, although Connor can't remember the specifics, his impression is that he is indeed a good man.
Under his leadership, the first-year students quickly left the spacious avenue leading to the stone bridge and walked down a steep and narrow land.
After turning a corner and arriving at a boat docking point, the night view of the entire wizard school was truly exposed to the young wizards.
The majesty of the thousand-year-old castle is approaching, and the brilliant lights seem to tell the story of its past glory and prosperity.
"Okay, we are going to cross this wide lake by boat. Remember, there should be no more than four people in each boat!"
Just when most of the little wizards were attracted by the scenery, Hagrid shouted at the top of his lungs.
"So why are we going this route?"
"Really, my shoes are full of mud!"
It was only at this time that Connor heard some discordant voices, which were complaints full of arrogance.
Looking back casually, Connor saw Malfoy and the others, who had only had 'communication' before.
And at this moment, of course he is the only one complaining.
This pampered young man just tried his best to wipe off the mud on his boots, but no matter how hard he rubbed, the mud only became more and more.
Connor himself was not interested in such complaints. He just subconsciously looked around to see the attitudes of the little wizards around him.
Most of them didn't understand why. Except for a few who showed excitement, most of the other children were also like this.
"Speaking of which, did you know that our first-year students are coming here?"
"Um?"
Ernie was the first to react, but unfortunately, because he didn't pay much attention, he didn't hear clearly what Connor was saying.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, I'm just asking you if you know why we freshmen need to take the boat."
"This... I really don't know, my family has never said anything about it."
Ernie just shook his head.
"Hannah, what about you?"
Connor looked at the lively girl again.
But at this time, she seemed to have met an acquaintance and was just minding her own business chatting with her friends around her.
It was a girl whom Connor also looked at strangely. She just reached out and bumped into Hannah.
"Your friend is calling you."
"Um?"
It was only then that she reacted.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just want to ask you if you know why we need to take the boat here."
"Well, my family seems to have said it, but I didn't pay much attention to it."
"That's it."
Without waiting for Connor to say anything else, Hannah just pulled her friend's sleeve.
"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you, this is my good friend Susan."
She tugged on Connor's sleeve again.
"He's Connor."
"Hello, I'm Susan Bones."
Compared to Hannah, she seemed a little more reserved, while Connor just extended his hand in a friendly manner.
"Connor McMahon."
Although I am not particularly familiar with him, I have made a new friend.
Now that they all knew each other, Connor asked casually:
"Then do you know why?"
"Eh? What about crossing the lake? I don't know much about it either."
Susan just smiled shyly.
These children, who should be pure-blood wizard families, don't seem to know much about this. As for Neville...because of the memory problems he showed, Connor no longer had any hope.
"So you don't know either."
Connor couldn't help but sigh.
"Are you anxious?"
Hannah asked.
"How about I ask someone else for you?"
"No, I'm just casual..."
"I know this problem."
Suddenly, another voice intervened in the conversation.
When Connor walked out, he saw a proud little witch.
She had her hands on her hips and looked proud.
"This kind of thing is recorded in "Hogwarts: A School History". It is a traditional ritual for freshmen to cross the lake, and the number of four people coincides with the four wizards who founded the school. They were originally
Along the wide lake to the other side, Hogwarts was established. The book says this is a blessing, and it is hoped that the students' future achievements will reach the level of the four great founders."
That proud look revealed a kind of vanity and pride, but it was completely different from Malfoy's incomprehensible arrogance.
"That's about it. Is there anything else you want to ask?"
She was just showing off her knowledge and letting others know that she had read the book.
"Basically no more..."
Speaking of this, Connor suddenly raised his eyebrows.
There was an inexplicable tingling pain in his head. He had been in vain before. Even though he had excellent eyesight, he never paid special attention to the specific appearance of the little witch in front of him.
But now it looks inexplicably familiar, especially the pair of exposed front teeth, which reminds Connor of a beaver.
He knew this person, but now he needed a little verification.
"Getting acquainted?"
Without taking the liberty to ask anything directly, Connor just stretched out his hand.
"I'm Connor, Connor McMahon."
"Hermione Granger."
Vaguely, Connor felt that she seemed to be relieved. After smiling, she stretched out her hand.
"Nice to meet you."
Sure enough it was her.
While shaking hands politely, Connor's mind was just filled with some messy keywords.
Some are pictures, and some are words that appear in books.
Although he didn't know whether it was a movie or a novel, or whether it was recorded elsewhere, he remembered that Hermione Granger had become the Minister of Magic in the future?
But now she can only be described as immature, and Connor could tell at a glance that she didn't know how to make friends.
On the other side, Hermione had noticed Connor's strange gaze.
She couldn't help but touch the corners of her mouth and cheeks,
"Is there something on my face?"
"No, no, I'm just curious. You should be a child from an ordinary family, right?"
It's not a word that's special to the wizarding world, Connor just used ordinary words to describe it.
This made Hermione a little unable to react.
In order to better integrate into the wizarding world, she had done various homework preparations in advance, and her mind was filled with those different vocabulary. After a while, she nodded.
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"No, it's nothing."
Regarding the wizard school, the people who answered were actually children born from ordinary families in the true sense. Their curiosity about new things supported them to explore and study.
However, the native wizard family did not understand these, and even complained about the environment and expressed arrogant attitudes and opinions.
"Okay kids, it's time to get on the boat. How long will you stay there?"
Hagrid shouted.
When they came back to their senses, most of the new students had already boarded the boat, and they were the only ones left.
Then, he looked at the boats, some of which were not even full of four.
Speaking of which, there is no guarantee that the number of students will be enough to reach four, right?
"Well, it smells of formalism."
