Learn Magic at Hogwarts

Hagrid was very satisfied with the shocked expressions of these little wizards. He would see them every year, and he couldn't help feeling proud every time he saw them.

After appreciating it, he shouted: "We need to cross this river by boat, and there should be no more than four people in each boat!"

The little wizards looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a group of small boats docked on the shore.

Under Hagrid's command, the little wizards boarded the boat in groups of four, most of them were arranged according to the boxes on the train, presumably they had a pleasant journey on the train.

Eve naturally followed Noah into the boat, and then Cedric and Qiu also followed.

When everyone got on the boat, Hagrid got on a boat by himself.

"Are you all on board?" Hagrid checked again, and shouted, "Okay, let's go!"

As his voice fell, the boats immediately made ripples on the black lake and headed towards the castle.

Everyone watched the castle approaching in silence, and no one made a sound to break the silence.

They drove into the cliff below the castle, passed through the ivy tent under the cliff, entered a secret open mouth, followed the dark tunnel to the underground of the castle, and finally stopped at an underground pier.

Under Hagrid's command, the young wizards disembarked and climbed up a path covered with gravel and cobblestones.

Hagrid counted the number of boats by the pier, and after confirming that they were correct, he led everyone into a hidden stone path, followed the stone stairs to a wet and flat grass in front of the castle. A majestic castle.

On the stone steps of the castle, there was already a witch with a pointed hat waiting here. She was wearing an emerald green robe. Is a very strict person.

"First years here, Professor McGonagall." Hagrid walked up to her.

"Thank you, Hagrid." Professor McGonagall nodded, "Let me pick you up when you get here."

She raised her arms slightly, and the gate of the castle behind her slowly opened, and the warm firelight immediately spilled out from the open gate, bringing warmth and light to the little wizards outside who were suffering from the drizzle.

A group of freshmen followed Professor McGonagall into the gate and into the hall.

The ceiling of this hall is so high that it is almost impossible to see the top. In the front is a marble staircase leading directly to the upper floor. Thousands of white candles are suspended in mid-air, making this hall look like daytime.

The first-year wizards were quickly attracted by the noise coming from the door on the right, presumably it was students from other grades.

But Professor McGonagall first took the freshmen to a small empty room on the left side of the hall. It was so small that it could barely accommodate a first-year wizard.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said, "The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you take your seats in the auditorium, you must first confirm which college you have entered. Branching is a very important Because when you are in school, the college is like your home in Hogwarts. You have to attend classes with other students in the college, live in the dormitory of the college together, and spend your spare time in the common room of the college together time."

She glanced at the nervous little wizards and continued: "The names of the four colleges are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each college has its own glorious history , have produced outstanding wizards. During your studies at Hogwarts, your outstanding performance will earn your house points, and any violations will make your house lose points. At the end of the year, you will receive the highest It is a high honor for the college with the highest score to win the Academy Cup. I hope that no matter which academy you are assigned to, you can win glory for the academy."

"In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of the teachers and students of the whole school. I suggest that you tidy up yourselves and look more energetic while waiting."

Her eyes stayed on the wet clothes of the little wizards for a moment: "You can also line up to find me, I think you need a drying spell."

The little wizards immediately lined up, waiting for Professor McGonagall's spell.

Noah was last in line. He was only slightly wet when he was unprepared at the beginning. When he realized that it was raining, he quietly used the Fire and Water Inviolability Charm, so his clothes were not wet.

Professor McGonagall, who walked to his side, was obviously aware of this too. She took another look at Noah and said nothing.

"I'll pick you up when it's ready over there." Professor McGonagall finally said something to the freshmen and left the small room.

The freshmen who were left behind couldn't help discussing in a low voice. Most of the discussions were about the sorting ceremony, but none of the young wizards present knew how the sorting ceremony was carried out.

As a result, all kinds of reliable and unreliable guesses were freshly released, and even some young wizards were so frightened by these brain supplements that they almost burst into tears.

However, most people guessed that it should be a test, and even some young wizards began to wonder which spell it would be.

When the little wizards were having a heated discussion, twenty or so ghosts suddenly popped up from the surrounding walls. These gray and translucent ghosts didn't notice the freshmen at first, until a scream resounded throughout the room , so that everyone including the ghost was shocked.

"What's the matter? Peeves came running over again? I said he should be locked up!" A ghost in a wheel-shaped tights looked around like an enemy, and it took a while to realize that everyone here should be locked up. They were new students, many of whom had just arrived from the Muggle world, and they might have scared the young wizards.

"Oh, sorry, did we scare you? Are you preparing for the test?" A fat monk smiled sheepishly.

The freshmen nodded silently.

"Oh, I hope you can be assigned to the college you want to go to." A ghost said kindly.

Without waiting for the ghosts to try to say anything, Professor McGonagall pushed open the door, and the ghosts immediately greeted Professor McGonagall, and drifted through the wall on the other side.

"Now, stand in a single file," Professor McGonagall said to them. "Follow me."

A group of young wizards stood together very cooperatively and followed Professor McGonagall out of the small room.

They passed through the foyer and through a double door into the sumptuous auditorium.

Students from other grades were already seated at the four long tables. Thousands of candles floated above the tables, illuminating the auditorium like daylight.

There is another long table on the upper stage of the auditorium, which is the seat for the professors.
