Readers at Hogwarts

In this way, while Ron and Draco were arguing, the express was about to arrive at the lake outside Hogwarts. Everyone hurriedly changed their robes. After changing, Ron and Harry took the rest of the clothes. The snacks were pocketed, no doubt drawing another scoff from Draco. .

The train slowed down and finally stopped.The little wizards were pushing and shoving, and they rushed to the car door and went down to a dark and small platform.The cold night made Hermione shiver. Ryan waved the wand gently, and a flame came out from the top of the wand. The temperature brought by the flame dissipated the cold around Hermione. "Thank you, Ryan" Hermione whispered softly. said.

A light swayed above the students' heads, and Harry heard a familiar voice shouting: "First years! First years, come over here! Harry, come over here, how are you?" Harry led Ron said goodbye to Ryan and others and walked over.

Harry walked closer and saw Hagrid's bearded face smiling. "Come on, follow me. Are there any freshmen? Watch your step, okay! Freshmen, follow me!"

They followed Hagrid, slipping and stumbling, seemingly down a steep and narrow path.It was dark on both sides of the path, and Ryan's small flame actually played a lighting function at this time.

"When you turn this corner, you will see Hogwarts for the first time." Hagrid called back.Then there was a loud "Oh——!" A black lake suddenly opened at the end of the narrow path.On the high hillside on the other side of the lake stands a towering castle with towering spiers and windows twinkling under the stars.

"No more than four people per boat!" Hagrid said loudly, pointing to a group of small boats moored on the shore.Ryan took Hermione and Neville to the boat, and Draco chased away his two followers and followed them. "Are there any boats?" Hagrid shouted, taking a boat for himself. "That's good to move forward!"

A group of small boats immediately sailed forward across the mirror-flat lake.Everyone was silent, 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.

"Look down!" Hagrid shouted as the first boats approached the cliff.Everyone lowered their heads as the boat carried them through the ivy curtain covering the face of the cliff to the hidden open entrance.They seemed to have followed a dark tunnel underground to the castle, and finally arrived at a place that resembled an underground dock, and then climbed onto a surface of gravel and pebbles.

Hagrid raised a huge fist and knocked on the castle door three times. The door opened immediately.A tall black-haired witch wearing emerald green robes stood in front of the door.

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

"Thank you, Hagrid. Leave it to me to pick you up here."

She opened the door wide.Like Gringotts, the stone walls are surrounded by blazing torches.The ceiling is so high that you can barely see the top.On the front is a luxurious marble staircase that leads directly to the building.

The little wizards followed Professor McGonagall along the stone floor.Professor McGonagall took the first years to a small empty room at the other end of the hall.Everyone rushed in, rubbing shoulders and gazing nervously at everything around them.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you go to the restaurant to sit down, you must first determine which house you are entering. Classification is a very important task. An important ceremony, because while you are at school, the college is like your home at Hogwarts. You will have classes with other students in the college, stay in the college dormitories together, and spend time together in the common room of the college after class. time."

"The names of the four houses are: Gryffindor, Hepa, Laclau and Slytherin. Each house has its own glorious history and has produced outstanding witches and wizards. You are studying at Hogwarts During this period, your outstanding performance will earn your college extra points, while any violation will cause your college to lose points. At the end of the year, the college with the highest score will receive the College Cup, which is a very high honor. I I hope that no matter which college you are assigned to, you can bring glory to the college."

"When the other side is ready, I will pick you up." Professor McGonagall said, "Please keep quiet while waiting." After saying that, Professor McGonagall left.

Most of the young wizards breathed a sigh of relief. Professor McGonagall's aura was still too strong. Hermione looked at Ryan and asked, "I don't know how the professors plan to sort the schools. There is no mention of sorting in any of the books." .”

At this time, Ron on the side said loudly, "I think it's always a test. Fred said it would hurt us a lot, but I think he was joking. Maybe we will fight the troll Let's fight." Ron became more and more excited when he saw that everyone was looking at him.

Seeing that Hermione was a little worried, Ryan quickly said, "Don't worry, Hermione, the so-called sorting is actually very simple. We don't need to use magic or anything. You just need to sit quietly and wait." Hermione listened. Ryan's version of fighting the troll was completely opposite to Ron's. Hermione finally relaxed out of trust in Ryan.

"So, what does the school rely on to accurately sort the schools?" Hermione asked doubtfully.

"I can't tell you this, I have to leave some sense of mystery." Ryan said to Hermione with a smile.

When Hermione was about to argue, something strange happened, which startled Hermione.

"That is--"

Hermione was breathless with fear, as were everyone around her.About twenty ghosts suddenly jumped out from the wall behind everyone.These pearly-white, translucent ghosts glided across the room, whispering to each other, paying little attention to the first-year students.They seemed to be arguing about something.A ghost who looked like a chubby little monk said: "We should forgive him, we should forget him, I say, we should give him another chance -"

"My good monk, haven't we given Peeves enough opportunities? But he has given us all terrible nicknames. You know, he is not even enough to be a ghost - I say, you What are you doing here?"

A phantom in a ruffled bodysuit suddenly spots freshmen.

No one answered. "New life!" said the chubby monk, smiling at them. "I guess you're preparing to be tested, right?"

Some students nodded silently. "I hope you can be sorted into Hepa!" the monk said, "I used to study in that college." "Now move forward," a high-pitched voice said, "the sorting ceremony is about to begin."

Professor McGonagall is back.The ghosts drifted one by one across the opposite wall and disappeared. "Now, stand in single file," Professor McGonagall said to the first years, "and follow me."
