Change the world from Hogwarts

But no matter how much Connor complained, it was impossible for him to violate this tradition.

However, due to insufficient numbers, he ended up on the same ship with Neville.

Soon, the oars of the boat started to move on their own and headed towards the other side of the lake.

The moonlight shines on the wide black lake, giving the water a unique sense of mystery.

All that was there along the way was Hagrid's extremely loud voice.

"Pay attention to safety, and we have to pass the front of the cliff ahead! Don't panic, okay, lower your head!"

Connor could see that Hagrid had tried his best in this regard.

He tried his best to remind every point in place to avoid accidents for new students on the ship.

However, Connor always feels that he should do better in this regard.

"For example, with a commentary or something..."

"What explanation?"

At first, Neville was holding Leif and looking at the scenery around him, but he was soon attracted by Connor's sigh.

"What do you want to say?"

"No, it's nothing. It's just that I think we will cross the entire Black Lake after all. This period of time is actually quite boring. It would be great if we could use it to introduce the school."

"oh oh……"

Neville obviously didn't understand what Connor was saying, he just looked confused.

While he was stunned, the toad in his arms jumped out.

"Quack!"

As if advocating his freedom, the toad fell into the lake in a graceful but exaggerated gesture.

"Leifu!!!"

Neville's eyes suddenly widened.

"I'll come to your rescue right away, Leif!"

Without even thinking about it, Neville jumped off the ship. The speed made Connor stunned.

He didn't even have time to catch Neville, because the guy had already entered the water.

"A toad knows how to swim, Neville. It can swim."

"I can't swim, help!!!"

"..."

Then there was another flurry of excitement, and Hagrid came over in a hurry before picking him up along with his toad.

"Longbottom boy, what are you doing?"

Hagrid couldn't help scolding him.

After seeing Neville fall into the water, his heart was in his throat.

"My toad fell into the water..."

Seeing Hagrid's somewhat fierce face, Neville couldn't help but stammered.

"But the toad can stay underwater for 20 minutes. During this time, it can even swim to the shore on its own. We are almost at the shore."

"ah……"

The little round-faced man did not continue to speak, he just hugged his toad tighter.

“Quack!!!”

His wet appearance, coupled with the pitiful appearance of being held in Hager's hands like a little chicken, was a bit funny, which aroused a burst of laughter from the other freshmen.

Some people looked worried, while others laughed without any malice, but just couldn't help it.

But there are some people who do not hide their malicious intentions at all.

"The Longbottom family are all so stupid. No wonder his parents are lying in St. Mungo's Hospital..."

These taunts were mixed in the laughter and fleeting, but Connor could easily catch it.

"Malfoy..."

Looking at the young master with a nasty smile and his few followers, Connor just frowned.

Fortunately, this stiff situation did not last long. The little wizards' boat had already docked at the underground dock behind the tunnel.

The only source of illumination was the lantern in Hagrid's hand.

At this time, no one cared about the small matter of Neville falling into the water. They all gathered together in twos and threes, fearing that they would be swallowed up by the darkness around them.

Neville's clothes also got rid of their wet condition with the help of Connor's drying spell.

"Phew, you're really good at using spells, Connor."

Feeling a warm feeling, Neville said enviously.

"I have never cast a successful spell until now..."

"This kind of thing can be learned, Neville. The elements of wand casting are very simple. You can do it with practice."

"Really?"

Neville asked excitedly.

At this moment, he didn't mind the humiliating situation before at all, he just looked forward to the future life.

At the same time, Hannah and Ernie also gathered around, expressing their concerns and greetings.

But before they could exchange any more pleasantries, Hagrid raised his voice again.

"Okay, classmates, come with me, let's go this way."

They continued to follow an upward tunnel in the mountain rock, and finally came to a grassland covered by the shadow of the castle, where a stone path wound forward.

But Hagrid didn't care. His huge body of more than three meters just stepped on the grass.

After climbing the steps, he knocked on the oak door.

There were three hits in total, but each hit was like a muffled sound.

And soon, the door slowly opened with a creak, and what appeared was an elderly woman wearing a dark green wizard's robe.

"Okay, that's it. You can go and get ready."

This is a serious lady.

And her title should be...

"Professor McGonagall."

"Okay, to be honest, I'm a little hungry too."

Hagrid just touched his big belly.

Although in terms of height, at three meters tall, he far surpassed the witch in front of him, his behavior at this moment was more like a child who had completed his work.

His fierce face even showed a look of joy and relief.

"Okay kids, although we had a great time getting along along the way, I'm just sending you here!"

He spoke.

"But there is something I seem to have forgotten to say. Welcome to Hogwarts!"

Although these words were addressed to all students, Connor clearly noticed that Hagrid's eyes were always looking at someone in the crowd.

Following the line of sight, he saw a duo who seemed to have become friends.

One has red hair and the other wears glasses.

It is worth mentioning that the emerald green eyes under the glasses are very unique.

"Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley..."

If I remember correctly, it should be them. Together with Hermione Granger, whom I met before, they are the protagonists of the whole story.

"Children, please come with me."

But before Connor could observe any more, the serious Professor McGonagall led them into the hall.

Directly in front was the auditorium, but instead of walking in, he entered a small room on the side.

"Children, you will pass through this door later, go to the auditorium, and gather with your classmates, but before that, you need to be assigned to an academy, which is created with the four founders of the school as the core

of four colleges.”

Looking at the children who were whispering, an imperceptible smile appeared on Professor McGonagall's face.

"Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin, starting from the four founders, each house has trained many outstanding wizards, and while you are in school, the house is your family

.

Your behavior and performance will be closely related to the college. Outstanding children can bring glory to the college and win the glorious College Cup. However, please remember that once you violate school rules, you will not only be punished, but also discredit the college. In serious cases, you may even be expelled.

Fired."

After briefly explaining the internal situation of the school, Professor McGonagall slowly took two steps back, her steps elegant but filled with the weight of time.

"The sorting ceremony will begin soon. Please stay quiet and wait for a moment."

However, the children could not remain idle after all. After the professor left, dozens of freshmen began to chirp again.

"Does any of you know what the sorting ceremony is?"

"I know, I know, the sorting ceremony involves fighting a dragon!"

"???"
