Hogwarts Dances with Dragons

"The four houses of Hogwarts are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin."

Dumbledore said gently: "Gryffindor is characterized by bravery and fearlessness, Ravenclaw is smart and wise, Hufflepuff is kind and loyal, and Slytherin is shrewd and ambitious."

"During the entrance ceremony, a special test will be passed to identify your most outstanding characteristics and determine which college you should be assigned to. To be honest, I am also very curious, Ivan, which college you will be assigned to."

Alvin took the butterbeer from Ms. Rosmerta and said casually: "Gryffindor."

Dumbledore was a little curious: "Why?"

"Magic itself is not a miraculous power, but a materialized power of energy that exists in nature and ourselves."

"The power beyond perseverance all comes from perseverance. Magic will only be the path of the brave. Without perseverance and perseverance, this unpredictable power cannot be improved."

"Kindness? Wisdom? Ambition?" Ivan sneered: "Kindness without power is a kind of weakness, wisdom without power is a kind of vanity, and ambition without power is a kind of stupidity. From the day I came into contact with magic, , my lifelong goal is only one thing, and that is to become stronger!”

"What kind of person am I? It doesn't matter at all." Ivan waved his hand: "What matters should be what kind of talent I want to be, right?"

"Wonderful remarks." Dumbledore looked at Ivan with admiration and clapped his hands gently: "That's right. What matters is what kind of person you want to be. Unfortunately, many people don't understand this. .”

"However, I have to mention that even in Slytherin there are some truly brave people." Dumbledore said gently: "Of course, in the final analysis, it still depends on personal choice."

"That's right!" Professor Flitwick laughed: "I was almost sorted into Gryffindor. From what you just said, there is no doubt that Mr. Darknight is also qualified to be sorted into Gryffindor." Ravenclaw’s wisdom, you are right, faith is the foundation of magic!”

Hagrid on the side smiled: "It would be great if Alvin can be sorted into Gryffindor. I guess Harry will also be sorted into Gryffindor. You guys should get along very well."

"Ah... yes, Harry Potter..." Professor Flitwick nodded: "Lily's child... I wonder if she will be as smart as her mother."

"How could he not be smart? He is the child of James and Lily! None of his parents are stupid." Hagrid laughed.

"I'm afraid that my cleverness will not be used in the right place." Professor McGonagall shook her head slightly: "His father gave me a lot of headaches back then."

"Poor child..." Professor Sprout sighed softly: "I heard from Minerva that the family was not very kind to him."

"What's wrong with it is obviously very bad!" Hagrid said angrily.

"Okay, Hagrid. They finally raised Harry, and we have to thank them for this." After saying that, Dumbledore looked at Ivan: "By the way, Mr. Darknight, I have something to ask you." Do yourself a favor."

"You said."

"On the first day of school on September 9st, help me pick up someone - yes, it's the Harry Potter we just talked about." Dumbledore said: "That child has never been in contact with the wizarding world. I'm a little worried about him. Platform [-]/? will not be found.”

"Platform?" Ivan's face turned pale, and then he remembered that you have to take the train to enroll in Hogwarts!

"Don't go!"

Dumbledore was not surprised and said cheerfully: "Do you remember the broken soul you talked about that day? There is a great connection between him and Harry, and it is related to your way back."

Alvin hesitated for a while: "Okay, but-"

Dumbledore interrupted him first: "New students must take the Hogwarts Express before enrolling. This is a rule of the Ministry of Magic."

Ivan pondered for two seconds and smiled solemnly: "What if the Ministry of Magic disappears?"

Dumbledore: "..."

This child's idea was somewhat dangerous, but it made him inexplicably moved...

"Okay, Alvin." Dumbledore couldn't help laughing: "Many of the most important friends in wizards' lives were met on the Hogwarts Express."

"I don't want any friends, I just want to go home." Ivan spread his hands.

"Then you should go." Dumbledore said.

Aiwen struggled for a while with a gloomy expression, and finally had no choice but to compromise.

So, early in the morning on September [-]st...

England, London, King's Cross Station.

Alvin stood with his arms crossed and a straight face, his wand clamped to his ears, and stood beside the platform with a gloomy expression.

Zoe happily jumped up and down on his shoulders, trying to make Alvin happy. From time to time, freshmen and parents passing by would look at him curiously, and then push the car quickly into the wall behind him.

"Quiet, Zoe." Alvin said softly when he saw the Muggle security guard paying attention to him.

He originally didn't want to bring Zoe here, but unfortunately, with his sense of direction, he couldn't find it here...

Recently, he has been living in the Gryffindor Tower. In addition to reading books and walking birds every day, the house elf thoughtfully delivers sumptuous food at meal times. His life is simply not too smooth.

Looking at the clock at the station, Alvin looked a little impatient. Finally at 10:30, a thin boy wearing glasses came over pushing a trolley.

The boy looked around hesitantly until he saw the owl on Alvin's shoulder and the wand in his ear, then his eyes lit up and he stepped forward.

"Harry Potter?" Ivan raised his eyebrows.

"Uh... uh, it's me, yes, hello..." Harry responded nervously.

"Follow me." Ivan turned around and walked towards the wall between Platform 9 and Platform 10: "Go through this wall."

After the words fell, the whole person disappeared behind the wall.

After waiting behind the wall for a few seconds, Harry closed his eyes and rushed in with the cart pushed.

The moment he opened his eyes, his full attention was immediately attracted by the magic platform in front of him.

The wall behind him has turned into a wrought iron archway, with the words: Platform 9?.

Thick smoke from steam locomotives lingered over the chattering crowd. Cats of various colors walked back and forth under people's feet. Owls also hooted harshly amidst the buzzing sounds of the crowd and the noise of hauling heavy luggage.

"Gugu~" Zoe on her shoulder also shouted excitedly.

Alvin: "Quiet, Zoe."

"Gu~" Zoe lightly pecked Alvin's ear and turned away dissatisfied.

The first few carriages were already crowded with students. Some leaned out of the windows to talk to their families, and some were playing in their seats. Alvin took Harry to the back carriage and found an empty space. car.

After Harry put the box away, Alvin adjusted his sitting position, opened the window, and waved his wand to create a bucket.

Then he leaned against the window with a bucket in his arms, and said in a leisurely manner: "Introduce yourself, Ivan Rustin Darknight, just call me Ivan. Like you, I am a new student and was entrusted by Dumbledore to take over." You come in."

"My name is Harry, Harry Potter." Harry quickly introduced himself.

"I know you." Alvin hugged the bucket tightly: "Okay, no more nonsense, I have something to ask you."

Harry nodded hastily: "Please tell me."

"When we get to the place, please help me get out of the car..."

Harry: "???"

woo-

With the sound of the whistle, the train moved slowly.

Alvin: "Ugh——"

Harry: "!!!"
