Hogwarts Wandering Wizard

After all, it's not a high-speed train. The distance from London to Hogwarts can take most of a day.

After the Weasley brothers finished eating their sandwiches, they ran out again. The treasure map gave them great encouragement. Fred thought that since they found a treasure map, there might be more. Too many, so the two went out again to cause trouble on the Hogwarts Express.

A salesperson also came over. Looking at the dazzling array of food on the trolley, Eric bought a few of each, piled them on the table, and called Mike to taste snacks from the magical world.

Mike was embarrassed and had to refuse a few times, but he was a child after all, and because of Eric's enthusiasm, he put down the milk and bread he had prepared at home and stretched out his hand to the snacks on the table.

An afternoon after eating and drinking is always pleasant. Along with the bumpy train, Mike closed his eyes first. When Eric was tired of looking at the scenery outside the window and felt drowsy, Frey De and George finally returned from their adventure.The two of them opened the compartment door dejectedly, sat down on the sofa, and said weakly: "We searched all the places on the train that were convenient for inspection, and found nothing except some foxes and stink beetles."

Eric gave them the pumpkin juice drink specially left for the two of them, and pointed to the sun that had begun to set outside: "You can change into the wizard robes. I think the train should be arriving soon."

The sky outside had begun to turn dark, and Eric looked outside. Under the dark red sky, mountains and forests loomed, and in the fields in the distance, he could vaguely see a few sparse figures bending down to work.

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in half an hour. Please leave your luggage on the car and we will take you to school."

A sound suddenly sounded on the train, echoing in various compartments. Eric felt that the originally quiet train suddenly became noisy. The sound of suitcases colliding came from the two compartments next door. It must be that they were both freshmen. Change your clothes in a hurry.

Mike was also awakened by the sound at this moment. He saw that the other three people in the carriage had changed into wizard robes and were sitting calmly on the sofa. He thought he was about to get off the car now, so he jumped up with a panic look on his face and took out his book bag. He took out the bundled clothes and hurriedly put them on.

The train began to slow down with a harsh sound of brakes. Looking at the crowd of people already standing in the corridor, Eric stuffed Teemo into the cage and walked into the crowd in the corridor with Fred and George, followed by a group of people. Mike looked worried.

When the train finally stopped, the students swarmed toward the door, pushing each other to reach a dark but spacious platform.

The senior students walked forward chatting and laughing together. Just as a group of confused freshmen were about to follow, a light came on at the exit not far away.

"First-year students! First-year students are gathering here. Did everyone hear you? First-year students are gathering here."

The portable lamp was hanging in the air and swaying in the darkness. The first-year students hesitantly gathered in the direction of the lamp. When they got closer, they saw a tall figure with a beard appearing next to the lamp, which shocked them.

This is none other than Hagrid, Hogwarts' keykeeper and gamekeeper.

Looking at the nervous first-year students gathered in front of him, Hagrid smiled on his bearded face. The teeth hidden in his beard startled the children again: "Are everyone here? There is another one." Aren't the freshmen here? Okay, watch your steps, the freshmen are coming with me."

After saying that, Hagrid turned around and walked forward with the lantern in hand. Instead of walking towards the carriage station in the distance, he walked into a small, muddy tunnel not far from the station.The freshmen walked expectantly, and from time to time someone slipped. Because everyone was close, someone helped him to avoid falling. Hagrid walked forward steadily with the lamp in hand, and he didn't go far. After adjusting the direction, shouting to be careful where you step, he led the little wizards down a series of stairs, and finally came to a dark path.

"You can see Hogwarts when you turn this corner."

Hagrid took the lead to walk to the river, stretched out his left hand and pointed diagonally upward, and shouted to the freshmen behind him.

Everyone quickened their pace, got out of this dark and difficult path, and saw the Hogwarts Castle located on a hillside in the distance.

"Come on, freshmen, the first thing you have to do when you come to Hogwarts is to cross the river, and then go to receive the sorting ceremony. That will tell you which house you will study in the next seven years. Note that each boat cannot More than four people.”

Hagrid pointed to the small boats moored on the shore, spoke loudly to the freshmen, then turned around and walked into a special large boat.

Eric and the Weasley brothers were the first to step into a small boat, followed closely by a brown-gold boy with gray eyes. Seeing their actions, the other freshmen no longer hesitated and found their own boats to sit on. Go up.

Pulling down his glasses, Hagrid placed the lamp on the bow of the boat, looked at the little wizards behind him who were already seated on the left and right, and asked, "Are you all on the boat? No one is lost, right? Okay, let's go." "

A group of small boats started at the same time, naturally forming a row of four boats, following Hagrid's big boat and rowing forward.

As soon as the ship left the shore, Eric saw his system interface pop up.

'New area detected - Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, patch upgrade is loading...'

Crossing the lake was actually a rule set by Gryffindor and Slytherin. At that time, they only discussed allowing parents to send the little wizards to the lake, and then the little wizards would cross the lake and enter the school by themselves, but Hogwarts Later, the principal thought this was a very educational method, and it has been passed down to this day.

However, although the weather is hot at the end of August, in the magical world, the temperature sometimes does not follow the climate. Moreover, Britain is a country that likes to rain. When we just boarded the boat from the shore, the wooden pier was still wet. , Eric estimated that it had just rained today, so that the lake looked like an autumn day, with a thin layer of water vapor, and when the boat passed by, you could still feel a hint of coolness.

Eric's body had been strengthened by the system and he didn't feel anything, but the other little wizards were more or less unable to control their bodies trembling.

"Be careful to lower your head~"

When the fleet soon arrived at the bottom of a cliff, Hagrid at the front shouted loudly and took the lead in lowering his head to make his body shorter.

The little wizards also saw a section of ivy-covered drooping curtain in front of them, and they followed suit and lowered their bodies.

Eric only remembered halfway through the boat trip that this should be the legendary black lake where many magical species gathered, because he saw huge waves of water ripples spreading towards them not far away, and there was another wave under the ripples. Another black shadow crossed the screen. Under the moonlight, although he felt that the figure was very blurry, he still guessed that it was the guardian of Hogwarts, the giant squid.

The ripples dispersed near the boat. Eric noticed that the little wizards on the two boats next to him let out a cry of surprise and clung to the hull of the boat, but the water ripples seemed to be illusory, sweeping the hull without any bumps. , and he even felt that the speed of the boat they were on had accelerated a bit.

"what is that?"

There was a suspicious sound from someone on the boat behind him, and someone also saw a shadow under the water.

Hagrid turned his head and glanced at it, and said nonchalantly: "That's the giant squid, the guardian of the Black Lake of Hogwarts. Don't worry, it won't hurt you."

As if to confirm Hagrid's words, a huge tentacle suddenly stretched out from under the rippled water. It waved past the freshmen's boat, splashing a large amount of water on them, and fought with the freshmen. Hello.

Eric thought of a plot in Goblet of Fire and joked half-jokingly: "Then if someone falls into the water while crossing the lake, will the giant squid save them?"

The Weasley brothers looked at each other after hearing this, and Eric saw their eyes filled with eagerness to try.

The boy opposite looked at Eric in surprise, shook his head and said, "I heard my father say that all the tools in Hogwarts are protected by magic. How could people..."

There was a "plop" sound, and Fred, who was sitting in front of Eric, fell into the water.

Hagrid: ∑(O_O;)

The freshmen were startled. Before they could scream, they saw Fred flying out of the water and sitting safely on the boat. A slender tentacle was released from his waist and retracted into the lake. .

"Cool~"

Fred wiped the lake water from his face and trembled under the stimulation of the cold lake water. He high-fived George and then both brothers stood up and lay down in the lake with their eyes closed.

"Hey~hey~"

Hagrid shouted anxiously, and was shocked when he saw the Weasley brothers' risky move. He took out the small red umbrella in the cabin and knocked twice on the side of the ship.

The hulls of all the boats emitted a burst of silver light, and a semicircular transparent shield was buckled on their boats. It not only protected them, but also supported the bodies of the Weasley brothers, preventing them from thinking. The act of falling into the water.
