Hogwarts underachiever

The black horse with wings was so thin that it seemed like there was only a layer of skin covering the bones. Ian looked at the Pegasus with some longing. The longing for flying has always been common to creatures that can only stay on land.

"How cool is this flying carriage?" Some little guys in the crowd who had never seen the world exclaimed.

"Shh, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

"I remember there seemed to be something pulling the cart."

""Ian didn't understand. Can't these guys see such a big dark horse?

A red hair emerged from the crowd. The Weasley brothers, who were one grade higher, had already put on their school robes. Except for the freshmen, the other students basically relied on this kind of carriage to go to the castle.

"The mount of the God of Death can only be seen by those who have witnessed the return of magic power. In other words, if you want to see the Yeqi, you must have experienced death. Of course, not all kinds of death will do, and the intensity of the return of the soul must be sufficient. "

The second carriage came slowly and rushed in front of the overturned black horse. The young man who stepped out to meet the horse's hooves loudly taught science to the students around him, while reaching out to touch the horse's head.

This maverick boy looks like he should be a first-year student like Ian.

Ian didn't have a school uniform, so he was still wearing regular clothes, but the boy didn't intend to wear the school uniform properly. The open school robe didn't put up the sleeves, revealing the half of his body wearing an old man's shirt underneath.Anyway, at first glance, the two of them were the strangest people in the crowd.

"Thestrals are actually quite mild-tempered, but don't deliberately make them angry. Death's mount is more than just a title." The boy's eyes were large, with deep eye sockets, and they looked even more angular under the firelight. .

The little wizards who originally had the courage to look for Thestrals in the void were frightened by the expression and retracted their hands.

"Brother~" Ian felt his sleeves being pulled, and there was a reassuring smell around him.

Turning his head, Penoniya squeezed in beside him, with a mischievous smile on her face.

"The Thestral looks so handsome, I really want to ride it and see it." Penonia seemed to want to go up and touch the jet-black magical creature.

And Ian was carefully recalling why Penonia could also see the Thestral.

She shouldn't have been around when the priest died, or was it some other time?

Penonia is a strong girl, do you think she is willing to be protected by you all the time?Ray interrupted his musings.

A smile appeared on Ian's lips, of course not, it was because she had been protecting me.

And then a guy with a loud voice turned on his big speaker,

"Freshmen come to me for first grade."

Hahaha, Hagrid.Remember this hybrid giant, he is the good gentleman in the book of prophecies.In this fantasy world, Ray's excitement was even stronger than Ian's.

When he saw the human-shaped horn coming in front of him, even though he was somewhat prepared, Ian was still shocked by the opponent's size.

Hagrid's body is much larger than that in the movie, and the huge palm holding the lantern gives a street lamp-like effect.

"In the early days of Hogwarts, the school's guardian magic only surrounded the main part of the castle. At that time, whenever a wizard needed to seek refuge in Hogwarts, he had to pass through this lake."

Hagrid gathered up the first years, who were shorter than him, like a duck, and then actively acted as a tour guide, talking about why only the first years needed to take a boat to cross the lake.

"The person in charge of punting the boat at that time was a pure-blood giant. He would always walk on the lake and pull the ferry around those deadly magic traps."

"Are you also a giant?" someone among the little wizards asked.

Hagrid's lines, which he had mastered because he had to say them once a year, were stuck.

"Well~ of course not, I'm a half-blood giant." Hagrid explained, while Ian was thinking about how big a pure-blood giant must be.

"Then why don't you take the boat?"

"No, the lake is much deeper now than it was back then, and the magic traps have been removed. What did I just say?" Hagrid quickly exposed his naive nature.

Small floating lanterns guarded the surroundings of the ship. The color of the flames was different from ordinary fire, showing a bluish white color.

Little wizards uploaded one after another, and a group of small fluorescent fish appeared under the dark water and wandered beside the boat.

"Everyone is seated." Hagrid sat on his small boat and looked at the children behind him with satisfaction.

Then, under the pull of magic, the ship began to swim on its own.

"Wow~" Penonia's complexion looked even fairer under such firelight. Her slender fingers touched the water, and the disturbed fluorescent fish quickly ran away.

Ian grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back, preventing her from doing that slightly dangerous move.

And when the small fluorescent fish around the ship suddenly swam away and dispersed, the towering castle appeared in front of them.

"The original Hogwarts was built to avoid war. At that time, Hogwarts was still a pure combat academy." Hagrid began his story again while waiting for the students to disembark.

Ian secretly left after walking up the steps of the castle.

He needs to go to the school administrator to get some old stuff that he can use.

"Thank you Peneno, I know I may have some complaints. If only George and the others would listen to me like they listen to Charlie."

Turning down the corridor, Ian just happened to see Percy separate from his little girlfriend.

"Why do you want to say thank you? I like hearing what you say and feel that you love your family very much."

"Haha, is there any?"

Percy watched Penello leave, rolling his shoulders with his hands in his pockets, and then he saw Ian.

His eyes accidentally met Ian's and he didn't want to talk to him.

"Are you a first-year student? Where's your school uniform? You should have changed on the train."

As expected of a man who dreams of becoming a prefect, I must say he is quite enthusiastic.

"Where should I get the clothes for the subsidized students? They asked me to find a person named Filch."

"Subsidy student" Patsy rarely comes across this word. After all, Hogwarts has not had a subsidy student for several years. "Mr. Filch, right? I can take you to his office. Come on, follow me. You have to move quickly, there is a sorting ceremony for the first graders, but we can’t let the ceremony start and you haven’t arrived yet.”

"Then trouble you."

Following Percy through another corridor, the two soon found Mr. Filch's office.

"Hmm, lucky boy. Talented student" Filch muttered as he found the correct one from a bunch of keys to open the utility room door.Then he randomly picked an old crucible for Ian to hold.

"You can choose your own clothes. Get a few spare sets, and some books. Let me take a look~ It should be these."

The filled crucible had some weight. Ian held the pot and rummaged through the obviously extra books to make sure that none of the things on the form were missing.

"The house elves at Hogwarts will help you wash your clothes. There is no need to pay too much attention to these old things. I myself always wear the old clothes left by my brother." Percy comforted Ian, wondering if there was any A little bit to comfort myself.

"It's okay, I don't really care about this." Whether the clothes are old or not is not something worth caring about for Ian, who was born as an orphan.
