Parents of Hogwarts

The night was getting darker.

Karan glanced out the window. It was already dark, and mountains and woods were reflected in the deep purple sky.The train seemed to slow down.

"It looks like we're almost here. Let's put on the black robe first."

Karan looked around and found that only Lily had not changed her clothes, but she quickly put her robe on outside her clothes and got dressed like that.

"What should I do with Barian?" Lily gently poked Barian's face with her finger: "There are still these luggages."

"Don't worry, someone will make arrangements." Snape comforted him.

Finally, the train stopped, but at this time Lily became a little nervous: "Will we really be assigned to different colleges?"

This sentence is mainly said to Callan and Snape, as for Steve Barian, how far away from him should be.

"There is a high probability that it will happen." Karan said this carelessly. After seeing Lily's glare at him, he smiled helplessly and said: "Anyway, everyone is in school, and sooner or later something will happen. We met by chance."

"But you can't, Callan," Snape suddenly interrupted.

"Reading books, magic, reading books, magic." Lily commented sharply on Karan's future school life.

"It would be nice if we were together." Karan smiled: "We are all in the first grade anyway, and the homework is not much different."

"What about me?" At this time, Steve suddenly asked with some hope. He seemed to have clearly seen the fact that Karan was a top student and planned to hold this thigh in advance.

Karan couldn't laugh or cry and pushed the three of them out of the box: "Let's go quickly. If it's too late, we won't be able to catch up with the sorting hospital."

The four of them followed the wizards towards the car door. When passing by the previous box, Karan took a special look inside and found that Meadows was gone, and all the snacks that he had not taken away had been packed away.

"It's really delicious." Karan muttered under his breath.

Four people stood on a dark and small platform, then a light swayed above the students' heads, and then a voice shouted: "Freshmen, freshmen, freshmen, come here, Steve, come here, Steve." Come on, how are you?"

Hagrid asked loudly. In the 60s, after Ogg retired, he became the official and only Hogwarts gamekeeper and key keeper.

Facing the curious looks of the three people, Steve smiled and said, "This is Rubeus Hagrid. He also likes magical animals very much, so he met my dad."

"Hello, little ones." Hagrid smiled on his bearded face, and seemed to want to reach out and pat a few people. Karan quickly pulled Lily and hid, while Snape was almost slapped on the ground. on the ground.

"Oh, I'm sorry, are you okay?" Hagrid helped Snape dust the dust with rough hands. Karan felt like he was about to be beaten to death.

"Tornado sweep away." Karan could only take out his wand, pointed at Snape and whispered.

"Oh, thank you, oh." Hagrid looked at Karan in surprise, and then he shouted to the freshmen: "Okay, first-year freshmen, come with me, watch your feet, and follow me."

"Nice spell" Steve praised Karan.

Karan smiled and didn't say much. At the same time, he also noticed that James and the four on the other side had become completely familiar with each other. After seeing them, Lily immediately walked around to Karan's other side in disgust, keeping herself away from them. Some.

"Cut this corner and you're about to see Hogwarts for the first time," Hagrid called back.

Then there was a loud "oh"

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 a twinkling window twinkling under the stars.

Seeing this scene, even Karan couldn't help but feel a little agitated.

"No more than four people in each boat," Hagrid said loudly, pointing to a group of boats parked on the shore.

Karan and the others happened to be four people, so they chose an empty boat and got on it.

What a coincidence, right next to them were James and the four of them.

"Hello." After noticing James and Sirius looking in his direction, Steve greeted them warmly.

But he found that neither of them responded, and the three people around him also became a little weird.

James whispered something to Lupine and Peter, and then the four of them immediately looked at Steve's boat with a hint of caution.

"What's going on?" Steve noticed that Lily turned around and turned her back to those people, and Snape had a sarcastic look on his face. As for Callan...

He was holding a strangely colored Bibi multi-flavor bean and hesitating, not knowing whether to eat it or not.

"What's wrong?" Karan glanced to the side, and then said casually: "Oh, they, two of them had some conflicts with us before, but they have been resolved smoothly."

Steve remained skeptical about this, and the four people's eyes did not look like they had solved the problem.

Karan finally plucked up the courage to try it, and found that it actually tasted like watermelon.

"not bad."

Following Karan's comments, the boats began to swim quietly one by one, crossing the mirror-flat lake.No one broke the silence, staring at the huge castle high into the sky.As they approached the cliff on which the castle stood, it seemed to tower above them.

Gradually, they followed a dark tunnel to the underground of the castle, and finally arrived at a place similar to an underground dock, and then climbed onto a ground of gravel and pebbles.

Everyone got off the boat and followed Hagrid up a tunnel in the rock, finally reaching a flat, damp meadow in the shadow of the castle.

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

Hagrid raised his huge fist and knocked hard on the oak door three times.

The door opened immediately, and a tall black-haired witch wearing emerald green robes stood in front of the door.

It is the younger Professor McGonagall.

She looked serious, but Karan suspected that she had been waiting here for a while, but her appearance would be more ceremonial.

"First-year freshman, Professor McGonagall," said Hagrid.

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

She opened the door wide, and the stone wall inside was surrounded by blazing torches. The ceiling was so high that you could barely see the top. In front of it was a luxurious marble staircase that led directly to the upper floor.

They followed Professor McGonagall as they walked along the stone floor. Karan heard the hum of hundreds of people coming from the door on the right, but Professor McGonagall took them to a small empty room at the other end.

Everyone crowded in, nervously and carefully staring at everything around them.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said. "The opening party is about to begin, but first you must determine your respective houses. This is a very important ceremony. The names of the four houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has its own glorious history and has produced outstanding wizards. During your studies at Hogwarts, your outstanding achievements Performance will earn your house extra points, while any violations will result in points being deducted. At the end of the year, the house with the highest score will receive the House Cup, which is a very high honor. I hope that no matter which house you are assigned to, All the colleges can bring glory to the college.”

"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 and be more energetic while waiting. I will come to pick you up when the other side is ready." Professor McGonagall said : "Please remain quiet while you wait."

After speaking, she left the room.

Lily let out a breath and complained to Callan and Snape: "This professor is so scary."

Snape nodded in agreement, and Steve also said: "It is indeed scary. Every time Professor McGonagall comes to my house as a guest, I will hide in the room and not come out."

Karan looked at him doubtfully: "Why do you have so many guests in your house?"

Steve grinned: "Wizards keep pets to some extent, and magical animals themselves are very lovable."

At this time, several students suddenly screamed, and about twenty ghosts suddenly jumped out from the wall behind them. They slid across the entire room, whispering to each other, and seemed to be arguing about something.A ghost who looked like a chubby little monk said: "He should be forgiven and forgotten. I say, we should give him another chance."

Listening to these inexplicably familiar words, Karan felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

The arrogant ghosts, poor Peeves, and the sinister little monk. If you want to see the new students, just say so. Is it necessary to perform it every year?

Although Callan didn't show much performance, Lily seemed a little frightened. At the same time, he noticed that Peter on James' side was also startled. Fortunately, Professor McGonagall came back soon.

"The sorting ceremony is about to begin. Now line up in single file and follow me."

The four quickly lined up, with Karan standing at the front.The other grade students in the college were already sitting around the four long tables. Karan looked around curiously, while the whispers of senior students could be heard from time to time.

"This little boy is so handsome." This was said to Sirius, but he just looked nonchalant, as if he didn't hear it.

"This little girl is so cute." This was about Lily. She immediately blushed and lowered her head, causing a burst of laughter from the girls around her.

"This little boy is so handsome." This was said by Karan himself, but he only looked at the teachers' seats and did not pay attention to these low-pitched compliments.

The teachers have not changed much. The only ones that Callan needs to pay attention to are Horace Slughorn, the Head of Slytherin and Potions Professor, and Dorcas, who is obviously much younger than the others. Meadows.

Meadows' youth attracted the attention of most students, especially since she was placed on Dumbledore's right hand side.She was chatting in a low voice with Dumbledore. After discovering the freshmen entering, the two of them looked at the freshmen together, and even looked at each other's eyes with Callan for a few seconds.

But Dumbledore had a kind smile on his face, while Meadows had a half-smile.

Karan unabashedly rolled his eyes at Meadows and then stopped looking at her.But then he seemed to hear the sound of a spoon being crushed, but he still didn't look at her.

Because at this time, Professor McGonagall had already taken out a four-legged stool and placed it in front of the students, with a patched hat placed on it.

It's the sorting hat.
