Harry Potter Platinum Glory

A few hours later, it was getting dark, and Augustus felt the Hogwarts Express slowing down, and soon a voice echoed through the train corridors, informing them that they would be at Hogwarts in five minutes. , please leave your luggage in the car.

Augustus and the others knew that the luggage would be sent to their respective dormitories by the house-elves, so they took turns changing into school uniforms and robes and waiting for the train to stop.

The students were noisily shoving and shoving, and swarmed to the car door. The other students left first, leaving Augustus and the new students to descend to a dark and small platform.

An extraordinarily tall figure in the crowd held a lamp and swayed over the students' heads, "First-year freshman! First-year freshman here!" It seemed that it was the half-blooded giant named Hagrid.

The freshmen followed this figure and stumbled all the way down a steep and narrow path. "Cut this corner and you're about to see Hogwarts for the first time," the tall figure shouted back.

Then the vision at the end of the path suddenly widened, and a black lake unfolded in the sight. On the high cliff on the other side of the lake stood a towering castle. From such a distance, you can feel the traces of the years on the city wall.

Looking at this ancient castle, which is full of historical precipitation at a glance, Augustus has to admire it. It is indeed a shocking building.

"No more than four people per boat!" Hagrid shouted, pointing to a group of wooden boats moored on the shore. Alice and Horn followed Augustus into one of the boats like two squires, and the other boy followed.

"Are they all on board?" cried Hagrid, who was in a boat by himself. "Okay, let's move forward!" A group of boats immediately sailed forward across the lake with waves as flat as a mirror.

"Hey guys, this is an amazing journey! Oh, my name is Alexander Eddos!"

The boy looked excited and introduced himself shortly after getting on the boat. But hearing his obvious Muggle-style speech, and the fact that the original book didn't even have the name of a trick, Augustus didn't bother to pay attention to him, and chose to ignore him directly. Alice and Horn didn't even bother him.

After a while of embarrassment, Hagrid said, "Bow your head!" They were already close to the cliff of the castle.

All bowed their heads, and the boat carried them through the green ivy-covered curtain that covered the face of the cliff to a hidden open entrance.

They followed what seemed to be a dark tunnel to the base of the castle, and finally reached a place that resembled an underground dock, and then climbed a ground of rubble and small pebbles to a huge oak door.

They were greeted at the door by a tall, serious black-haired witch in an emerald-green robe. Her gaze first stayed on the disheveled and unkempt children for a while longer, scaring more children to organize their appearances, and then said to Hagrid: "Hagrid, the new born will be picked up by me. "

"Okay, Professor McGonagall," Hagrid agreed.

As Professor McGonagall introduced about the branch, Augustus' eyes began to search the crowd to see if there was anyone of note.

When he turned his head, he saw that Penello was seriously listening to the speech of McGonagall's classroom. Augustus smiled at her after his eyes met. Penello's face was a little red when he saw it. After coming to Hogwarts She was obviously nervous.

Just as the children were nervously getting together to discuss how to sort the hospital, twenty or so ghosts suddenly appeared on the wall behind them, and some of the children were frightened and screamed on the spot.

Augustus is very interested in these ghosts. He is very curious about the existence of this kind of soul. What is it through which people can retain all the memories and emotions of their lifetime and exist in this world for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people in the auditorium, and Dumbledore and many professors were also present, Augustus really wanted to open the writing wheel to see clearly.

"Forget it, there will be opportunities in the future." After thinking about it, Augustus still gave up the idea of ​​opening the wheel. Anyway, he will stay at Hogwarts for several years, so there is no need to rush.

The door of the hall was opening at this time, and the flaming torches illuminated the whole field of vision. The freshmen lined up to follow Professor McGonagall to the luxurious dining room of Hogwarts.

The rest of the academy was already sitting around four long tables, above which thousands of candles floating in mid-air lighted the dining room. On four tables were gleaming gold plates and goblets.

There is another long table on the upper table of the dining room, which is the seat of the teachers. Professor McGonagall took the first-year students there and made them line up facing the entire upper class.

The ceiling above the head is clear, but the sky outside is covered with dark clouds, obscuring the light of the moon.

Professor McGonagall gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first-year students, and placed a pointed wizard hat on it. The cap was patched, worn, and a little dirty. It wriggled, a wide slit in the brim of its hat, like a mouth, and began to sing as everyone watched.

It doesn't sing well, with a hoarse voice full of dust, but the original book said that its lyrics are different every year, so Augustus listened patiently, he felt that he should respect the labor results it took a year to make, even if the other party is Only the hat is broken, which is also the hat of Gryffindor, one of the Big Four.

Next is the sorting ceremony. The freshmen who are sorted into each college will be applauded and cheered by all the teachers and students from that college. Augustus' surname started with b, and it wasn't long before it was his turn.

"August Black!"

Following Professor McGonagall's call, the entire auditorium suddenly fell silent, except for the students from the Muggle world, everyone began to whisper.

"Am I right, Professor McGonagall said Black?"

"I also heard that it was Blake, doesn't it mean that there is no one in their family anymore?"

In fact, not only the students, but Professor McGonagall, who was reading the list, was also very uneasy. When I wrote the invitation letter, I thought it was spelled wrong, but the Hogwarts student book is automatically written by a magic pen, so there is no mistake. .

Holding Black's cane, Augustus stepped forward slowly, picked up the Sorting Hat and sat on the four-cornered stool, frowning and clasping the Sorting Hat on his head. Almost as soon as the Sorting Hat touched his head, he screamed, "A real Blake! Slytherin without a doubt!"

Augustus put down his Sorting Hat gracefully and came to the long Slytherin table with a smile. The Slytherins applauded, most of them showing friendly smiles, and even a few people were cheering enthusiastically. Male Prefect Andre Carr Dun stood up to greet him: "Platinum glory of Slytherin, welcome back!"

Augustus responded with a polite nod and took his first place in the first year. During this process, he could always feel the sight shot from the teacher's chair, which came from the white wizard Dumbledore...

Then Alice and Horn were also assigned to Slytherin, sitting next to him, while Penello was assigned to Ravenclaw.

After dinner, Dumbledore stood up and shook his white beard and began to announce the matters that freshmen should pay attention to. The woods on the campus were all silent for students to enter; Do not use magic in the corridors between classes; Quidditch players audit work ; do not bring prohibited products, etc.

The next thing Augustus paid no attention to, as the Slytherin students had gathered around him enthusiastically and introduced themselves.

Although Augustus didn't like this kind of occasion, but people took the initiative to show their favor, you can't pretend to be arrogant and ignore them and slap them in the face, so they responded politely one by one, showing a good aristocratic culture.

Fortunately, most of the Slytherin students came from pure-blood families and knew enough was enough, and quieted down before Augustus got impatient.

At this time, the opening ceremony just ended, and the students returned to the common room of their respective colleges under the leadership of the prefects.

Augustus went to the Slytherin lounge with the students in the same house, but to his surprise, the stairs went all the way down.
