Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Clark, Hermione, and Neville arrived at Hogwarts very safely and comfortably,

The train stopped safely in front of the platform of Hogsmeade Station, and everyone got off the train one after another, the scene was very chaotic.

"Freshman, this way!"

A familiar loud voice sounded, and under the bright lights, Hagrid was still the same old, standing there to welcome the freshmen including Ginny, and prepared to greet them to cross the lake in the traditional way.

He also saw Clark and the others, and shouted at them, "Isn't Harry with you?"

It's a pity that the scene was too crowded. The three of Clark waved at him, but before they could answer, they were pushed to the other side of the platform by the crowd around them.

Now they are already in the second grade, and they have to change to a new way of enrolling.

The three of them followed other senior students to a rough muddy path beside the platform. In the eyes of everyone, there were at least a hundred horse-drawn carriages waiting for them there.

Of course, this does not include Clark, because in Clark's eyes, there is not really no horse in front of the carriage.

Between those poles stood strange and fantastic creatures.

They look a bit like reptiles, tall, but skinny, black fur tightly attached to the skeleton, every bone is clearly visible, without any muscle.

And on the bulge between their shoulder bones, there is a pair of big and black bat wings growing.

As if sensing that someone was watching them, the "Pegasus" closest to Clark turned its dragon-like head and glared at him with dead fish eyes without pupils.

Clark was not afraid, he knew that these cart pullers were actually a magical animal called thestrals, a type of Pegasus.

Many superstitious people believe that such creatures are very unlucky, and they will bring terrible disasters to those who see them, which is a bad omen.

But in fact, thestrals can only be seen by those who have witnessed death, and as a reborn, Clark, who has personally experienced death, can naturally see them.

As for Hermione and Neville, neither of them could see this.

The three of them randomly chose a carriage and got in.

After closing the door, the carriage was pulled by thestrals, creaking and moving, bumping and shaking forward in the procession.

The car was filled with a faint musty and straw smell, combined with the rickety carriage, it actually made Clark recall the feeling of taking an old-fashioned bus in his previous life.

Fortunately, the distance was not long. They walked around the wall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Witchcraft. At the end of the carriage road, there were two extraordinary wrought iron gates.

On both sides of the door, there are stone pillars, and on top of the stone pillars are wild boars with wings.

This is the main entrance of Hogwarts!

Passing through the main gate, the carriage sped up the long uphill drive to the castle, passing Hogwarts grounds and Hagrid's hut along the way.

Hermione poked her head out of the tiny car window, watching the turrets and towers of the castle getting closer and closer to them.

Yes, unlike what many people may imagine, the gate of Hogwarts Castle is not on the side of the Great Hall and the foyer, but at the back of the entire castle.

Finally, the carriage staggered to a stop. Clark, Hermione, and Neville got off the carriage on the big lawn, followed the crowd up the stone steps, passed through the majestic oak gate, and entered the spacious and deep hall of the castle. .

There were burning torches, and a magnificent marble staircase led upstairs.

On the right side of the foyer, the door of the auditorium was open. They walked in and found that many people had already sat on the tables of the four colleges.

Overhead, countless burning candles were suspended in mid-air, illuminating the golden plates and goblets on the table to sparkle. The enchanted ceiling reflected the sky outside, and the stars were shining in the deep blue night.

The three of Clark came to the long table belonging to Gryffindor and sat down, quietly waiting for the sorting ceremony to begin. Unfortunately, they didn't see Harry and Ron until the first-year freshmen lined up to walk in.

These two missed the Sorting Hat ceremony!

Hermione glanced around, looked at Clark anxiously, and said in a low voice next to his ear: "What the hell are these two doing? They must have missed the train!"

Clark really wanted to say to Hermione, "You're so smart", but it's a pity that he can only comfort her softly when it's not a joke.

"Don't worry, the two of them are not young anymore. Even if they miss the train, they can still send an owl to deliver a letter to Professor McGonagall, or contact the staff on the train platform."

Of course, there is one sentence that Clark didn't say, which is "as long as they are not reckless and impulsive Gryffindors".

Hermione obviously didn't think of this, and turned her head to look at the freshmen with Clark, and walked into the auditorium with fear under the leadership of Professor McGonagall.

Clark's cousin Ginny was also among them, her Weasley family's unique red hair was very conspicuous, and Clark waved at her to say hello.

In addition to her, at this year's sorting ceremony, Clark also saw a little witch with pale golden curly hair and erratic eyes.

That is Luna Lovegood, who is named and surnamed in the original book, and is listed as half of the heroine of Harry Potter and Humanities together with Hermione.

Clark looked at her curiously, and found that there was nothing unusual about this little girl except for her delicate features and exaggerated attire.

But apart from her and Ginny, the whole sorting ceremony seemed to have almost nothing to watch.

Clark turned his gaze to the teacher's seat again. Principal Dumbledore was sitting on a high-backed chair watching the school division ceremony. His long silver beard and half-moon-shaped glasses lenses shone brightly under the candlelight. Hui.

On the chairs next to him, Gilderoy Lockhart was wearing his flamboyant emerald green robe, and next to him sat the burly Hagrid, who was holding his wine glass with a worried expression on his face looked at Gryffindor.

In addition, there was a seat vacant next to Professor Flitwick, and in the entire teacher's seat, Professor Snape, the dean of Slytherin, was missing.

Hermione had evidently noticed this too, taking a look at Clark and realizing that Snape's absence might be because of Harry and Ron.

"What the hell are the two of them doing, won't they be caught by Snape, will they be expelled soon?" Hermione asked worriedly.

Clark responded casually: "Don't worry, with Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall here, they will definitely be fine."

At this time, the last freshman had just completed the sorting. Dumbledore stood up, and Clark found that Professor McGonagall also got up, but he did not take the sorting hat away, but left the seat in a hurry.

"Look, isn't Professor McGonagall going?" Clark pointed to her.

Hermione glared at Clark.

"You must know something, but you are hiding it from me!"
