Reborn at Hogwarts

It's not for nothing that Ivan chose to share the boat with Hagrid.

Not that he was going to snuggle up with Hagrid, exchange feelings or anything... but because he was afraid of being in danger by boat at night.

Don't look at the calmness of the Black Lake at this time, looking like a peaceful time... In fact, just under the surface of the water, there are countless dangerous magical animals hidden.

Not to mention the famous giant squid, just those hideous and terrifying mermaids are enough for him to drink a pot.

Although he has confidence in Hogwarts' protection measures, if something happens and he accidentally falls into the lake, it will be difficult for Ivan to guarantee that he will be rescued safely...

All in all, although the possibility of accidents is very small, it is better to be safe.

The boat sailed across the mirror-flat surface of the lake, and as it approached the cliff Hagrid yelled "Heads down," and they all bowed their heads as the boat carried them through the curtain of ivy that covered the face of the cliff, Come to the secret open entrance. They went down a dark tunnel, passed under the castle, and finally arrived at what looked like an underground dock in Le, and then climbed up a surface of gravel and small pebbles.

"First-year freshmen, get off the boat!"

Under Hagrid's greeting, the students disembarked one after another, and pushed and shoved on the shore for a while before they barely formed a line.

Ivan stood at the end of the line from the beginning, and the long-term mental tension was finally relaxed, which made him a little tired at the moment, and he couldn't help but yawned a long time.

"Hey, buddy, sorting is about to happen, don't take a nap at this time." The freshman standing in front of him turned around and reminded, "If you really can't hold on, I still have a piece of sour lollipop here, just need Take a bite and keep your spirits up all day—though maybe burn a hole in your tongue."

"Thank you, no need, I can still hold on." Ivan thought of the scene where his tongue was burned with a hole, couldn't help shivering, and quickly replied.

"You're welcome, buddy, if you think you need it later, you can always ask me for it." The other party said, reaching out to Ivan, "My name is Eddie, Eddie Carmichael."

"Ivan Vesemir." Ivan shook his hand.

Eddie looked surprised.

"Oh—Vesemir? Are you the son of the Director of the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures?" Eddie's expression made Ivan feel that he was also a celebrity, "The 'Wonder Boy' who turned from a squib to a wizard?"

"Wonder boy??" Ivan almost choked on his own saliva. Hearing Eddie's words, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart, "Where did this nickname come from?"

"It's said in the Daily Prophet and the Quibbler." Eddie looked at Ivan with envious eyes and explained, "You are the only one in history who has cast off the status of a squib and become a real wizard. The whole wizarding world knows your name—the Quibbler says you got the ability to cast spells after drinking a potion made from the blood of 66 Squibs as the main ingredient. Is that true? As a statement in advance, I don't really believe it, I just asked out of curiosity."

"The Quibbler"? Isn't that a magazine started by Luna Lovegood's father, Xenophilius Lovegood?

"Of course it's not true, Eddie." Ivan sighed. "The things here are more complicated, and I can't explain it for a while. After the sorting ceremony is over, I will tell you if I have time."

Ivan perfunctory Eddie a few words, at this time Hagrid also finished counting the number of people, making sure that no one was left behind, he raised the lamp and led the freshmen to move on.

In the light of Hagrid's lantern, the young wizards climbed a tunnel in the rock, and at last they reached a flat, damp meadow in the shadow of the castle.

They climbed a flight of stone steps and gathered in front of a huge oak door.

"Is everything here?"

Hagrid raised one huge fist and knocked three times on the castle gate.

The door opened instantly.

A tall black-haired witch wearing an emerald green robe stood in front of the gate. She had a serious expression, her lips were tightly pursed, and she scanned each new student one by one with stern eyes. The line was still very noisy. Under the gaze of the witch, she miraculously fell silent.

"First year, Professor McGonagall," said Hagrid.

"Thank you, Hagrid. Let me pick you up here."

Professor Minerva McGonagall pulled the door wide open. The foyer was large enough to move the entire Vesemir house into it. The stone walls are surrounded by blazing torches. The ceiling is so high you can barely see the top. On the front is a luxurious marble staircase leading directly to the upper floor.

They followed Professor McGonagall along the stone floor. Ivan heard the buzzing of several hundred people from the door on the right, and the rest of the school must have arrived—but Professor McGonagall led the first-years into a small, empty room at the other end of the hall. . Everyone rushed in, rubbing shoulders and huddling together, staring nervously at everything around them.

Ivan also pretended to be a newcomer, nervous and excited.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you take your seats in the auditorium, you must first confirm which college you have entered. Classification is a This is an important ceremony, because the college is like your home at Hogwarts while you are at school. You will attend classes with other students in the college, live in the college dormitory together, and spend time together in the college common room After school time.

"The names of the four colleges are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each college has its own glorious history and has produced outstanding wizards. You are in Hogg While Watts is in school, your outstanding performance will earn your house points, and any violations will lose points for your house.At the end of the year, the house with the highest score will win the house cup, which is very high Honor. I hope that no matter which house you are assigned to, you will bring honor to the house.

"In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of all the teachers and students of the school. I suggest that you tidy up yourselves and be more energetic while waiting. I will pick you up when the other side is ready. Please keep quiet while waiting." .”

After saying this, she turned and left the room.

Standing on tiptoe, Ivan watched Professor McGonagall's back disappear outside the door, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know why, but when Professor McGonagall is present, he always has an inexplicable sense of tension, feeling like he doesn't know where to put his hands.

Now that Professor McGonagall has left, he feels relieved.

However, at this moment, a faint female voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"What's in your left pocket?"
