A black lake suddenly opened up at the end of the narrow path.

On the high hillside on the other side of the lake stands a majestic castle with towering spiers and windows twinkling under the stars.

The black lake was silent, with giant squid lurking in it. The little wizard held an oil lamp, and the weak light source illuminated each other.

The little wizards clung to the eaves of the boat, fearing that they would fall off and be dragged to the bottom of the lake by monsters hiding under the water.

Of course, after the little wizard lives at Hogwarts for a few years, he will gradually discover that the giant squid under the Black Lake is actually quite friendly.

You can wait for it to bask in the warm shallow water and gently fiddle with its tentacles. Some students have also entered the lake to swim in the company of giant squids.

J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, even made a joke about a giant squid, saying that the giant squid is actually Gryffindor himself.

Hmm. Maybe it's not a joke.

After all, who can understand spiritual magic?

"Fluorescence."

Luke read softly.

The constant levitation spell was cast, and the wand was dangling in mid-air of the boat.

Without a wand to cast spells, only powerful and highly skilled wizards can steadily master difficult techniques.

Hermione's eyes widened, she felt that she was still too conservative.

In terms of learning.

I have decided that after I enter school, except for classes, I will spend no time in the college library!

Hermione made up her mind.

"Brother, after I enter school, can you take me to see my godfather?"

Draco's voice was thin and his eyes were evasive.

"Of course, Draco, but what's the matter with you? Can you tell me if it's convenient?"

Luke was a little strange.

What happened to Draco today? Why did he look so wilted?

Where has the original arrogant and nostril-turned-nosing Ma Aotian gone?

"Uh-huh. My father has something he wants me to tell my godfather."

Draco muttered, speaking rather vaguely.

He glanced nervously at Hermione and Neville, but they didn't pay attention to Draco at all.

Hermione took out the small notes she carried with her. Luke solved many of her problems. She needed to take the time to write them down to avoid making mistakes.

Neville, he was looking at Hogwarts not far away in a daze.

In fact, even if Draco took the initiative to explain clearly to Neville, Neville might just forget about it.

Don't underestimate the brain that can withstand the forgetting curse! ——Neville Longbottom.

"I understand. I will talk to the professor about it in the evening."

Luke nodded, thoughtfully.

Draco's expression finally cheered up after hearing this.

Draco's father, Lucius Malfoy, had some business dealings with Professor Snape.

He developed a relationship with Professor Snape, partly because they were once Death Eaters and now traitors, so they could get together to keep each other warm.

On the other hand, he just fell in love with Professor Snape.

identity of!

Professor Snape specializes in dark magic and defense, potions, charms, occlumency, etc.

He is the youngest headmaster ever of Slytherin House, and the youngest future headmaster of Hogwarts.

He is also the principal with the shortest tenure.

The Malfoy family has not had an easy time under the Ministry of Magic's control over the past few years.

Although his family is rich, he can't really just be a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

Then Lucius might as well go back and eat big melons with the mysterious man.

Therefore, in order to prevent the family business from being completely destroyed by his old Malfoy, Lucius used various means to maintain the family's balance of payments and try to achieve profitability.

Professor Snape, who could produce a large amount of high-quality potions and held many pharmaceutical patents, was the talent Lucius needed.

The two have a lot of dealings in potions, and many people know this.

Old Dengtou didn't care. After all, Old Malfoy made money, and the annual funding for Hogwarts would automatically increase.

However, let Draco come to Professor Snape to discuss it on his behalf.

Either the potion ordered this time is of no importance, and Malfoy Sr. wants his children to get closer to Professor Snape.

Or, the potion needed was not very serious, and he did not dare to come to Professor Snape to talk about it in person.

But now looking at Draco's absent-minded look, it's the former or the latter, you can tell which one it is at a glance.

Old Malfoy has only lived a stable life for a few years, and he wants to jump out of society again?

"Lower your head!"

Hagrid shouted as the first boats approached the cliffs.

In fact, the only one who really needs to bow his head is Hagrid. He is a hybrid giant, nearly four meters tall.

Luke's attention was diverted, but not because of Hagrid's reminder, but because of the huge magic power coiling in the sky.

When the little wizard embarks on the journey, the magic will wrap around each new student.

Let new students follow the path traveled by the four great founders, not because crossing the lake is just a Hogwarts tradition.

More importantly, let the little wizards make a contract with the castle.

Ritual magic?

Luke understood carefully, but he didn't gain much.

Although he has lived in the magic world for more than ten years, he has been a squib before and basically cannot understand the mysteries of magic.

But in the past few months, I have felt like I was about to vomit.

Luke couldn't help twitching when he thought of Professor Snape's torture education.

However, in addition to the entrance ceremony for freshmen, the headmaster and professors of Hogwarts probably also have similar ceremonies.

I haven't heard old Dumbledore talk about it before. I'll ask him next time when I have time.

Everyone lowered their heads, and the boat carried them through the ivy curtain covering the front of the cliff to the hidden open entrance.

They seemed to come to the bottom of the castle along a dark tunnel, reaching a place similar to an underground dock, and then climbed up a piece of gravel and pebbles.

Then, under the light of Hagrid's lantern, they climbed up a tunnel in the rock, and finally arrived at a flat and wet meadow under the shadow of the castle.

Everyone climbed up a stone staircase and gathered in front of a huge oak door.

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

The gate slowly opened, and a witch in a dark green robe and square glasses stood in front of the door.

Professor McGonagall looked serious and looked at every freshman who came.

When she saw little Luke, her eyes relaxed a little and her face softened a lot.

Poor little Luke, if he hadn't had the help of the old witches when he was a child, he would have been sent to see Merlin by Snape a long time ago.

Merlin's beard!

Can you imagine that a newborn baby drinks potions instead of milk?

However, little Luke finally grew up safely.

The little wizards lowered their heads and quieted down, not noticing the change in Professor McGonagall's expression.

"First-year student, follow me."

I got home at four o'clock in the morning today, and when I woke up, it was already 7:30 in the evening. I vomited, and the alarm clock didn't wake me up.

I'm a newbie and I'm updating steadily. I beg for support from all my good brothers. I kowtow and beg for collection and investment recommendation tickets! ! !
