Money in the heavens

Of course, all this was still far away, so William focused his attention on the path under his feet.

Because it was raining, the muddy path was very slippery. William clearly saw Draco Malfoy, who was glaring at Harry and preparing to provoke him, slipped and fell to the ground, and the two followers beside him hurriedly helped him up.

This made William wonder if it was Harry's protagonist luck, and that Malfoy, who was targeting him, was very unlucky.

Hermione carefully drew out her wand and whispered a spell:

"Fluorescent flash!"

In an instant, the tip of her wand lit up and illuminated the dim path very brightly, preventing herself and others from stepping on the air.

William smiled lightly, and gently grasped the wand in his hand, and the wand instantly turned into a black umbrella. He opened the umbrella elegantly and covered the heads of Hermione and himself, so there was no need to worry about getting wet in the rain.

"Wow!"

Hermione and William's actions amazed all the little wizards. They couldn't even send out an illumination book, but Hermione and William could already cast magic easily, which made all the little wizards very envious.

Of course, Draco, a pure-blood noble, stared at Hermione and William with jealousy.

"They can actually use magic now. I remember that families don't teach little wizards magic before the age of 11. Why can they learn it!"

Ron also muttered in a jealous voice.

He thought that the two were children of wizard families and were taught magic by their families early on, so they could show up in front of so many little wizards. He felt very unbalanced.

In fact, he hoped that he was the one being stared at by the admiring eyes of many little wizards.

At the same time, he didn't know that Hermione and William were both from ordinary families, and they had only studied some first-grade magic such as illumination for two months.

Hagrid, who was walking in front, was also amazed at the talents of Hermione and William. He also showed a strong envy, and tightened his hand holding the small umbrella.

The commotion among the little wizards lasted for a while, and everyone continued to follow Hagrid's footsteps.

Soon, everyone came to a large lake with a diameter of about half a mile. There were many small boats on the lake, each of which could carry four little wizards.

When Hermione saw this scene, she excitedly said to William and Neville:

"I know this. I read in "A History of Hogwarts" that the four founders of Hogwarts arrived at Hogwarts in this way. They took a small boat and crossed the lake!

The book said that this is also a kind of inheritance ceremony. The four little wizards on the boat represent the four founders, so that the students who come here can feel the excitement and joy of the founders, and also remember the hardships of the founders in creating the school!"

Hermione talked about the knowledge she knew incessantly, and Neville and the little wizard next to him were stunned. At the same time, they were no longer so afraid and resistant to riding a boat, but had a little yearning.

William complained in his heart:

"Readers really have a hobby of showing off their knowledge. Hermione has this tendency, and now it is out of control!"

Despite complaining, William still recognized Hermione's knowledge.

However, he had another opinion in his mind. In his previous life, he also liked to read Harry Potter fan fiction. He learned another statement from a fan fiction:

"Every little wizard takes a boat across the lake and enters Hogwarts. It is not only a heritage ceremony;

It is also a ritual magic. When the little wizards take a boat across the lake, their breath and shadow will also be imprinted in the lake, and they will have a mysterious magical connection with Hogwarts.

→

Hogwarts will remember the breath of every little wizard, and at the same time, in the next seven years, protect the life of every little wizard, so that the little wizards can grow up safely in Hogwarts Castle."

William still agrees with this analysis, which can also explain why the little wizards in Hogwarts can survive under various dangers. Although they will suffer various injuries, they are not in danger of life.

At the same time, this is also an important reason why Dumbledore dares to let Voldemort do all kinds of tricks in Hogwarts to cultivate the savior.

Although Myrtle died in Hogwarts many years ago, it is also necessary to consider that the one who killed Myrtle was a basilisk that lived for a thousand years. Such a powerful magical creature can still break through the protection of the castle to a certain extent, not to mention that the basilisk was left by Slytherin.

However, the protection of the castle still has a certain effect, otherwise the second-year wizards in the original book would not be so coincidental that they were only petrified instead of being killed directly.

Of course, all this is just William's guess. To know the truth, you have to experience it yourself to be sure.

After a period of queuing, Hermione, William, Neville and Hannah Abbott got on a small boat and headed for the lake.

Without paddling, the boat seemed to have life, driving automatically, and heading towards the shore of Hogwarts.

On the boat, Hermione and William felt a magical force sweeping over all the little wizards. This mysterious force came from Hogwarts, identifying the identity of the little wizards and establishing a deep magical connection with them.

This way, people who are no longer on the admission list will not be allowed to sneak in, and the young wizards can be protected in the future.

Hermione looked at William in surprise. She didn't expect that she would experience such a magical thing while riding a boat.

William smiled at her and signaled Hermione not to keep it secret. After all, with Hermione and William's current knowledge and ability, they are not yet able to discover the magic of this ritual.

"Bow your head!"

Hagrid's loud voice sounded, and a group of young wizards followed Hagrid's orders in a daze, lowering their heads and trying to get through the dim bridge hole in front.

William whispered a reminder:

"No need to bow your head!"

And pointed to the top of his head. It turned out that the bridge hole was still high above the heads of the young wizards.

The three of them immediately understood that only people as tall as Hagrid needed to bow their heads. Obviously, Hagrid himself did not realize this.

Fortunately, the quality of several people was relatively high, and they did not mean to laugh at Hagrid for this.

Finally, the boat came out from the other side of the bridge hole, and just in time to see the castle standing on the hilltop under the moonlight, it was Hogwarts.

The drizzle had stopped at this time, and the castle under the moonlight seemed to be a fairy tale reappearing, which amazed the little wizards.

William was also immersed in such an atmosphere. Even if he had a mature soul, he could not escape the magic.

The boat soon came to the shore. Led by Hagrid, the little wizards walked along a path towards the Hogwarts Castle, and soon arrived at the gate of the castle.

Professor McGonagall, with a serious expression, was standing at the gate of the castle waiting for the arrival of the little wizards. With William's intrusion, Neville did not suddenly run to Professor McGonagall and grab Leif, avoiding the scene of being laughed at.

However, the little wizards were nervous at this time, because they were about to face the legendary Sorting Ceremony of Hogwarts, which would determine which college they would study magic in...
