HP Approaches the Magical World

Time passed faster during meditation, and Jon didn't feel how long it had passed before he was dragged back to reality from the state of meditation by Bella's slapping.

"Wake up and don't sleep, we are almost there, change clothes quickly."

Bella pulled out Jon's earplugs, looked at his "bleary-eyed" brother and said.

"Have you arrived yet?" Jon rubbed his eyes twice. Although he was pretending to be asleep, he still felt a little uncomfortable after closing his eyes for a long time.

"Yeah, the car is about to stop, you hurry up and put on your robe, I'll go out and wait for you."

Bella wanted to go out to make room for her younger brother to change clothes, but she didn't think that Jon had no idea of ​​changing clothes at all. He just pulled out the outermost robe from the small suitcase and put it on his body.

"If that's the case... let's do it with a little effort!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Bella didn't mean to find fault with her younger brother. She dragged Jon to get rid of the compartment, and muttered: "There are names on the suitcases, and the flight attendants will send our things to our respective colleges later." Yes, you are hurrying to find the freshman team first, you will be the first batch to cross the lake, it will be too late...the fluorescent light is flashing."

A ray of light bloomed from the tip of Bella's wand, dispelling the darkness in front of the siblings, and Jon saw the dark people in front of him. These students, without exception, were all wearing the same robes.

"The freshman team is... over there."

Bella's wand was pointing to the lake, and Jon looked along and saw a huge figure.

That should be Hagrid, he is indeed a half-blood giant, and his height is well-deserved.

"What are you stunned for?"

Bella pushed Jon with his hand, took Jon's hand, put it into the pocket of his robe and took it out again, stuffing something into Jon's robe pocket: "I left you two chocolates Frog, you must be hungry after sleeping for so long, and the sorting will take a long time, so you should eat this for a while."

"good."

There was warmth in Jon's heart. Normally, Bella always seemed carefree and unreliable, but suddenly she looked like a big sister, which really surprised and moved Jon.

Hmm... If she wants to fall in love with Cedric, then it's time to talk about it. If it doesn't work, he will do something secretly to save Cedric.

But if you want to get married, you still have to carefully examine it!

Bella didn't expect that there were so many messy things in her brother's mind. She sent Jon to the tail of the freshman team and hurried back to her college team.

Jon was at the back of the freshman team. He got off the car a little late, but under the cover of night, no one noticed him joining suddenly.

He quietly pinched the ring on his index finger, opened the hidden compartment above the ring, and pulled out the wand inside.

"Luminescence flickering."

The results of hard work and hard work were revealed at this moment. Although Jon hadn't practiced the fluorescent spell for a long time, he could still see the road clearly with this little light.

"I'm careless, I should have brought a flashlight."

His whispers and the light on his wand naturally attracted the attention of several freshmen around him, but everyone was attracted by the black lake in front of them, and few paid attention to him.

"That's Hogwarts!"

Hagrid, who was like a hill at the front of the line, pointed to the other side of the lake and shouted.

On the high hillside over there stands a majestic castle with towering spiers and windows shining with mysterious brilliance under the starry sky.

"No more than four people per boat!"

Jon finally boarded a boat with two strange little boys on board.

"Is everyone on board?"

cried Hagrid, who was in a boat by himself.

"That's good... let's move on!"

Immediately a fleet of boats sailed across the glass-flat surface of the lake,

Everyone was silent.

Jon looked up at the Hogwarts castle, which was not much different from the one in the movie. This wizarding paradise that had appeared countless times in his dreams finally stood in front of Jon at this moment, giving him a very unreal illusion.

It can't be said that it is timid to be close to the hometown. This is not his hometown, but there is also a feeling of emotion.

He took a deep breath.

The air is mixed with the humidity of the lake, and there is also an old smell, like rotten wood suddenly glowing with new life under the spring rain.

This is the taste of knowledge!

...

The boat landed quickly, and a group of freshmen climbed up a tunnel in the rock under the light of Hagrid's lantern, and finally arrived at a flat and wet grassland under the shadow of the castle, where they gathered in front of a huge oak door.

Hagrid raised his massive fist and knocked three times on the castle gate.

The door was quickly opened.

Professor Minerva McGonagall, wearing emerald green robes, was waiting for them here.

"Freshman, Professor McGonagall!"

Hagrid said.

"Thank you, Hagrid. Leave it to me now."

Professor Minerva McGonagall was as serious as he remembered, but Jon knew that the vice-principal was actually a very kind witch.

At least it was much better than Snape's cold look.

Wizards are human too, and as long as they are human, there is no one who doesn't judge people by their appearance-oh, Dumbledore is not, so he taught Voldemort to be that way.

If I have the opportunity to meet Snape privately in the future, maybe I can give him a little "immature advice". What's wrong with becoming more popular? A cold face will only blind your own appearance .

If it wasn't because he left such a bad impression on the protagonist trio from the beginning, I'm afraid the subsequent plot would not be so twists and turns.

Naturally, no one noticed Jon's slander, and he didn't even realize that the image he just slandered was the character image he had planned for himself before school started.

The freshmen were led into the branch waiting room by Professor McGonagall. The space inside was smaller than Jon remembered, and everyone was crowded together.

"Welcome to Hogwarts."

Professor McGonagall was speaking in his annual speech: "The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you go to the dining room, you must first confirm which college you each enter..."

"The names of the four colleges are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each college has its own glorious history and has produced outstanding wizards and wizards..."

Professor McGonagall spoke slowly and clearly, and Jon knew that these words were of no use to him: first, he made up his mind to go to Hufflepuff, and second, he would not violate the rules at will and would not perform too well , and Hufflepuff is insulated from the Academy Cup.

So while Professor McGonagall was speaking, he took apart a chocolate frog and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.

Peppermint, refreshing.

Professor McGonagall didn't notice the small movements in the back row. After she finished talking about various regulations, she cast a cleaning spell to clean up the stains on the robes of the freshmen.

"Then, I think you can go to the hall now and attend the sorting ceremony."
