The Mysterious Black Cat at Hogwarts

"Hey! Freshmen, be careful with the tops of your heads. I have to remind you every year. It seems necessary to remove them." Hagrid was sitting on the boat holding a lantern, and found that the little wizard on the boat behind him was just admiring the castle. The floating city next to it was almost swept into the black lake by the branches on the shore.

The little wizard next to Hagrid looked at the Floating City and then at him. He was both curious about the Floating City and afraid of facing him.Hagrid is too big, and he alone occupies one-third of the entire ship. "Excuse me, is that floating city in the sky?"

"You seem to be afraid of me? That's not okay. I am the professor of your Care of Magical Creatures class. You can call me Hagrid." Hagrid tried his best to smile harmlessly and said to them, "Of course, that It’s the Floating City, and it’s also the Black Cat Academy of Hogwarts, a special academy focused on alchemy.”

"Professor Hagrid, how should we enter Black Cat Academy?" When the little wizard saw Hagrid's smile, instead of feeling relieved, he became even more frightened.

In the dark night, there is no place to hide in the boat, and the dim light shines on the rough giant's face, and the giant shows his extra-large teeth to you, which makes you feel irritated just thinking about it.

"When we get to the castle, there will be a sorting ceremony. The Sorting Hat will decide where you go. Hogwarts has more than one house." Of course Hagrid understood what they were thinking. That magical building was floating there all day long. It was really Too conspicuous.

"Professor! But I want to go to Black Cat Academy. That palace is so spectacular."

"Professor, what should I do if I am assigned to a college I don't want to go to? Can I be assigned again?"

"Professor Hagrid, what is the sorting hat? Why don't you use someone to sort the houses? Aren't all my pounds in vain?"

"Oh! Okay, okay kids! Listen to me," Hagrid quickly stopped them, "Do you remember what I just said? That is a special academy that focuses on alchemy. It is the same as the other four academies. It’s completely different. Black Cat Academy selects students based on their talent. Besides, pounds don’t circulate here.”

"However, I can tell you clearly," Hagrid saw the frustration on their faces and said to them mysteriously, "the Sorting Hat will reasonably assign you to the appropriate ones based on your own characteristics. House. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has been in operation for so long, and there has never been an example of someone who doesn’t like or is not suitable for the house.”

Seeing that their faces improved slightly, Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief.He was originally not good at speaking, but if he hadn't memorized the sample essay beforehand, he wouldn't have been able to control such a scene.Since the floating city appeared, it has been extremely difficult to welcome new students every time.

"Macon! Wake up, I've brought you new life." Hagrid held up the lantern and shone it on the handrails on both sides of the stairs again and again, and finally found the black cat in the shadows.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hagrid. Leave the new students to me." The black cat was lazy. He quickly released his spirit and then took it back. The number matched the list, and there were no other problems.

"Cat, the cat has spoken!" A little wizard in front of him hurriedly pulled the people around him to point at the black cat, "I, I heard the cat speak!"

"In the wizarding world, people and animals are not the only ones who can talk. I am Macon, your alchemy professor." The black cat jumped off the armrest, squatted on the ground, tilted his head and said to them, "Of course, among you It’s probably going to be a few years before most people come to take my class.”

"Next, I will lead you in the sorting ceremony. Freshmen, follow me."

Everyone followed the black cat through the hall and into the corridor. Some of them were looking around, and some were whispering.

"He said he is an alchemy class professor and he looks like a black cat. Could it be related to the Black Cat Academy?"

"No need to guess, I come from a wizarding family. That is the dean of Black Cat Academy. The black cat looks like his Animagus transformation."

"Animagus? Transformation? What is that?"

"It is the most top-notch magic spell in transfiguration. It is a human transfiguration that only a very few people can accomplish. It can turn oneself into any kind of animal, and some can also turn into magical animals, but that kind is even rarer."

"Fantastic beasts? What are they?"

"···"

The door of the auditorium opened on its own. The black cat took the little wizards to the center of the auditorium with elegant steps. A roll of parchment flew out from the hairpin and unfolded.

"Next, I will read out the sorting list. The person whose name is called comes to the front and puts on the sorting hat." The black cat jumped on the chair and used the floating spell to levitate the hat in the air, "Theo Williams,... ·”

Hermione returned to the Floating City with the black cat in her arms, looking at the seven first-year freshmen following her with a look of helplessness on her face.

This year has been the smallest number of new students since she came to Hogwarts. There are less than 50 new students in the five houses combined.Among them, less than [-]% are from wizard families.

"It seems that no matter how well the Ministry of Magic praises itself, it has no effect." As soon as Hermione returned to the bedroom, she lay on her back on the bed. "The two schools Beauxbatons and Durmstrang should be overcrowded. Alright?"

"Avoiding the source of chaos is a good choice. Without a strong background and strength, you will only be crushed to pieces in the next whirlpool." The black cat squatted in front of her head, stretched out its paws and opened her eyes. As for the front hair, "It seems that I haven't worried about the rising hairline yet."

"If it really rises, I'll pluck all your cat hair." Hermione grabbed the black cat and flipped him over, trying to put him down on his back. As a result, the black cat twisted its body in the air and kicked off its hind legs. On the soft bulge, "Ah!"

"You can't blame the cat for this, it's an instinctive reaction." The black cat said, spreading its two hind paws and stepping on it.

"Is this an instinctive reaction?" Hermione looked at the black cat angrily.

"You can't blame me for this, of course it's an instinctive reaction." Black Cat blinked, and took advantage of her not paying attention to break away his hands, trying to escape.

The black cat, who originally thought Hermione would get angry, found that she was still lying there indifferently, and moved closer to him out of curiosity. When he noticed a cunning flash in the other person's eyes, he secretly said Oops!

"You bullied me and you still want to run away?" Hermione pinched the back of the black cat's neck with one hand and held the little bell with the other, "Are you still running away?"

"You have something to say! Let go of your hands first, especially the hand at the back!" The black cat was caught in two vital parts of its body, and it dared not move.

"You don't have to worry about the time you stepped on me, and you don't have to worry about the time you clawed me." Hermione turned over, let go of the black cat's neck, and slowly leaned down, almost touching the black cat. On the cat's face, "Promise me a condition and everything will be easy to talk about."

"What, what conditions? Hermione, let me tell you, if you play with fire again, I won't be polite!" The black cat tried to run away in a panic, but the hand holding the little bell did not let go at all. It means open.

Hermione kissed the black cat, opened her lips boldly, and touched the tongue full of barbs. She narrowed her eyes and said to him, "Macon, I have tolerated you for a long time, please change!" "
