Learn magic from Hogwarts

Hagrid was very satisfied with the shocked expressions of these little wizards. He saw them every year, and he couldn't help but feel proud every time he saw them.

After admiring it, he shouted: "We need to cross this river by boat, and each boat must not exceed four people!"

The little wizards followed the direction he pointed and saw a group of small boats docked on the shore.

Under Hagrid's command, the little wizards boarded the ship in groups of four. Most of them were grouped according to the compartments on the train. It seems that they had a pleasant journey on the train.

Eve naturally followed Noah onto the boat, and then Cedric and Pearly followed suit.

When everyone got on the boat, Hagrid got on a boat alone.

"Have you all boarded the boat?" Hagrid confirmed and shouted, "Okay, let's go!"

As his voice fell, these small boats immediately made ripples on the black lake water and sailed towards the castle.

Everyone looked at the approaching castle in silence, and no one spoke to break the silence.

They drove into the cliff under the castle, passed through the ivy tent under the cliff, entered a hidden opening, followed the dark tunnel to the underground of the castle, and finally stopped at an underground pier.

Under the command of Hagrid, the young wizards disembarked from the boat and climbed onto a path covered with gravel and cobblestones.

Hagrid counted the number of boats at the pier. After confirming that they were correct, he led everyone to a hidden stone path. He followed the stone stairs to a damp and flat grassland in front of the castle. In front of the grassland was the

A towering castle.

There was already a witch wearing a pointed hat waiting on the stone steps of the castle. She was wearing an emerald green robe, and the light from the magic lamps on both sides of the castle gate behind her fell on her, making her look very solemn and solemn.

He is a very strict person.

"The first years have arrived, Professor McGonagall." Hagrid walked up to her.

"Thank you, Hagrid." Professor McGonagall nodded, "Leave it to me to pick you up when you get here."

She raised her arms slightly, and the castle door behind her slowly opened. Warm firelight immediately spilled out from the open door, bringing a ray of warmth and light to the little wizards outside who were enduring the drizzle.

A group of freshmen followed Professor McGonagall into the gate and into the hall.

The ceiling of this hall is so high that it is almost impossible to see the top. At the front is the marble staircase that leads directly to the upper floor. Thousands of white candles are suspended in the air, making this hall look like daylight.

The first-grade wizards were quickly attracted by the noise coming from the door on the right, which must have been students from other grades.

But Professor McGonagall first took the freshmen to a small empty room on the left side of the hall. It was very small and could barely accommodate a first-year wizard.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said. "The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you take your seats in the auditorium, you must first determine which house you will enter. Sorting is a very important thing.

ceremony, because when you are in school, the college is like your home at Hogwarts. You have to attend classes with other students in the college, stay in the college dormitories together, and spend your after-school time together in the college common room.

time."

She glanced at the nervous little wizards and continued: "The names of the four houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has its own glorious history.

, have all produced outstanding wizards. During your studies at Hogwarts, your outstanding performance will earn extra points for your house, and any violation will cause your house to lose points. At the end of the year, you will get the highest

The college you are assigned to can win the College Cup, which is a very high honor. I hope that no matter which college you are assigned to, you can bring glory to the college."

"In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of all the teachers and students of the school. I suggest you tidy up and look more energetic while waiting."

Her eyes lingered on the wet clothes of the little wizards for a moment: "You can also line up to come to me. I think you need a drying spell."

The little wizards immediately lined up, waiting for Professor McGonagall's spell.

Noah came last. He only got a little wet when he was unprepared at first. When he realized it was raining, he secretly used the fire and water invulnerability spell, so his clothes were not wet.

Professor McGonagall, who walked up to him, was obviously aware of this. She took another look at Noah but said nothing.

"When everything is ready over there, I will come to pick you up." Professor McGonagall finally said to the freshmen and left the small room.

The freshmen who were left behind couldn't help but discuss in low voices. Most of the discussions were about the sorting ceremony, but none of the little wizards present knew how the sorting ceremony was carried out.

As a result, all kinds of reliable and unreliable speculations came out, and even some little wizards were so frightened by these speculations that they almost shed tears.

However, most people guessed that it should be a test, and some young wizards even began to wonder which spell it would be.

While the little wizards were having a heated discussion, about twenty ghosts suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls. These gray-white translucent ghosts did not notice the freshmen at first, until a scream rang through the whole room.

, which shocked everyone including the ghost.

"What's wrong? Peeves came here again? I said he should be locked up!" A ghost wearing a wheel-shaped tight tights looked around as if facing an enemy. It took him a while to realize that everyone here should be there.

They are new students, many of whom have just come from the Muggle world. They may be frightened by these little wizards.

"Oh, I'm sorry, did we scare you? You are preparing to take the test, right?" A fat monk smiled sheepishly.

The freshmen nodded silently.

"Oh, I hope you can be assigned to the college you want to go to." A ghost said kindly.

Before the ghosts could try to say anything else, Professor McGonagall opened the door. The ghosts immediately said hello to Professor McGonagall and drifted through the other wall.

"Now, line up in single file." Professor McGonagall said to them, "Follow me."

A group of little wizards stood together very cooperatively and followed Professor McGonagall out of the small room.

They walked through the foyer and through double doors into the grand auditorium.

Students from other grades were already seated at four long tables. Thousands of candles were floating above the tables, making the auditorium as bright as day.

There is another long table on the stage at the top of the auditorium, which is where the professors sit.
