[HP+Shenxia] Unexpected encounter

Aurora pushed open the door and followed Elvira and Christie, who had changed their school robes, out of the carriage and walked to the platform.It was a dark and small platform, which was gradually occupied by students, and a lantern slowly came over to slightly illuminate the platform.

"There!" The sharp-eyed Elvira was the first to see Draco waiting aside.Aurora and Christie followed Elvira's fingers and saw Draco who had just separated not far away.

Just as the three of them moved to Draco's position, the lantern seemed to have moved over the heads of the students, and a rough voice echoed on the empty platform: "First-year freshmen! First-year freshmen come here Harry, come over here, how are you?"

The three of Aurora only glanced in Hagrid's direction, and continued to walk towards Draco indifferently.Next to Draco was a handsome dark-skinned boy, followed by two followers, Crabbe and Goyle.

Elvira patted Draco on the shoulder, "Hey, Draco, Blaise, Crabbe and Goyle"

Draco smiled at the three of them, and Blaise looked at Aurora and Christie, who he had never met before, "Hey~ I'm Blaise Zabini, you are friends of Elvira, both of you Beautiful lady, let's get to know each other."

Elvira glared at Brace before introducing to him: "This Aurora Holmes, and this is Christie Edward, please call her Holmes, please call them Miss Holmes and Miss Edward..."

Christie said it didn't matter, "Since I'm a friend of Draco and Elvira, you can call me Christie." Aurora nodded beside her, "Me too, just call me by my Christian name."

Just when Blaise was about to say something, he was interrupted by Christie who saw the crowd start to move, "Hey, friends, how about we catch up later? It's best to keep up with the big troops now."

The senior students went to the castle by themselves in a carriage, while the first-year students followed Hagrid down a steep and narrow path.After turning the corner, Hogwarts Castle is displayed on a high hillside, majestic, magnificent and gorgeous.

Several people nodded and staggered to keep up with the large army.Aurora and Christie were practicing martial arts before school started. The physical strength of these men is also good, and there is no situation that they cannot keep up with the team. Only Elvira is really "delicate and weak". The walk was slippery, but fortunately, Aurora, who was on Aurora's left hand, gave her a quick hand to prevent Elvira from falling.

Everyone went down the steep and narrow path. It was pitch black on both sides, and it was hard to distinguish whether it was a stone wall or a forest. The cold breath rushed towards their faces. Avril shuddered and gathered her clothes again. She heard Hagrid And said: "Look, turn a corner, and you will see Hogwarts soon!"

Everyone was refreshed, thinking that they were about to arrive at the school, but they didn't want to go out at the end of the narrow path, which showed a lake. Draco recalled the book "Hogwarts, a School History" he had read: "This It's the Black Lake."

The huge and majestic castle stands on the high mountain on the other side of the lake. The towers point directly to the sky, and the windows seem to reflect the starlight in the sky. Although only the outline can be seen in the night sky, it gives people an extremely majestic and majestic feeling. .

Hagrid came to the lake, pointed at the small boats, and shouted: "No more than four people in each boat!" Draco pulled Avilla into a boat, Blaise looked at Aurora And Christie, raised their hands to signal the two girls to follow, and went to take another boat with Crabbe and Goyle.

"Are you all in the boat?" Hagrid asked loudly, and when there was silence, he jumped into a boat himself. "Well... go on!"

The triangular team of boats rowed across the calm lake, slowly leaving ripples on the huge black lake.

Draco looked at Elvira who was exhausted next to him and Aurora and Christie who had not changed their faces on the opposite side, with malicious intentions, "Everra, should you exercise? You are out of breath after walking such a distance of."

Elvira looked at Draco unconvinced, Draco pointed to Aurora and Christie, Elvira looked along, the two looked as usual, they couldn't help being discouraged, "Okay..."

Christie laughed and said, "Why do you feel so depressed? Even if you are asked to exercise, it will be after you get familiar with Hogwarts. We won't let you swim across the Black Lake right now."

Elvira's eyes widened when she heard the words, "This ignorant fool actually wants me to swim..."

"Look down!" Hagrid yelled and interrupted Elvira.For a while there was no sound of conversation on the lake, and the boat carried the freshmen through the curtain of ivy covering the front of the cliff, like a mysterious door covered by a curtain, which was leading to them. The "home" that will stay for seven years.

After a while, there was still no conversation in the boat. Draco carefully recalled the books he had read: "We walked a muddy downhill road, a small boat with four people, and probably had to climb up the hillside. Then, in a rainy day, At the dawn of the day, "Hogwarts, a School History" seems to be written like this, 'we' came to this place to establish Hogwarts, and now we should be walking on the road that the Big Four took at that time , it was very difficult, and there were four people on board."

Aurora added: "Four, they are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin, exactly four, so I think, the school will make every freshman go through this path It makes sense."

Elvira grinned at Christie, "However, there are probably three Slytherins and one Gryffindor on our ship. If the two colleges are fighting now, you think it's the three of us fighting in groups?" , or are you singled out?"

Christie clutched her chest, "My heart hurts so much. I'm alone, and you guys want to beat me up?"

While the three of them were arguing, someone suddenly said, "We're here!" They saw that the end of the dark tunnel was a place similar to a pier, and only the light in Hagrid's hand was left around. Approaching, climb up the tunnel in the rock until you come to the last steps in front of the castle gate.

Hagrid knocked on the huge oak door three times firmly. On the third knock, the door seemed to be unable to bear Hagrid's strength, and suddenly opened. Hagrid stood sideways, and a A tall black-haired witch in an emerald green robe was standing at the door. She had the light behind her, so her facial expression could not be seen clearly.

Hagrid bent over the person in front of him: "The first-year students are here, Professor McGonagall."

Professor McGonagall said in a flat voice, "Thank you, Hagrid. Let me pick you up here."

Professor McGonagall just moved his hands to the sides, as if he didn't touch the door at all. The huge oak door opened wide to both sides. Only then can everyone see the face of Professor McGonagall clearly through the flames of the torch. It is a serious face, which is always tense and does not relax. When Aurora looks at it, she thinks of the teaching of haunting and haunting in the high school in her previous life. director.

They followed Hagrid before, and now they followed Professor McGonagall, along the large marble floor, to a small empty room at the other end of the hall.

"Welcome to Hogwarts. Before you attend the opening banquet, you must first determine which house you each enter. During your time at school, the house is like your home in Hogwarts. You have to communicate with the house The other students of the college attend classes together, stay in the dormitory of the college together, and spend their spare time together in the common room of the college." Professor McGonagall paused, and glanced at the new students again, she had a kind of calm and prestige The imposing manner, the freshmen kept silent one by one, not daring to make a sound.

"The names of the four colleges are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each college has its own glorious history and has produced outstanding wizards and wizards. In Hogg During Watts' time at Watts, your good performance will earn your house points, and any violations will cost your house points. At the end of the year, the house with the highest marks wins the house cup, which is a very High honor. I hope that no matter which college you are assigned to, you will work hard to win honor for your college."

Speaking of which, there was some small commotion among the freshmen below. Many wizard-born children knew about these colleges for a long time, and began to analyze where they would go, while the Muggle-born children concentrated their attention. Listening to those obviously unreliable analyzes...

Professor McGonagall clapped his hands: "Quiet! In a few minutes, the sorting ceremony will be held in front of the teachers and students of the school. I suggest that you tidy up yourselves and be more energetic. Then, please keep quiet while waiting."

Seeing that the people around them began to tidy up the robes that had been messed up just now, the four of Aurora also dusted off their clothes, and saw that Professor McGonagall had guided the students out of the room, and Harry and the others not far ahead along the way All kinds of interesting guesses were made about the content of the sorting ceremony, which made the three of Aurora, who knew the plot, hold back their laughter.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the group of students in front, and Aurora, who was on Aurora's left, took a step forward to the right to block in front of Avra, and touched the position of the wand with her hand, while Christie, who was on Aurora's left, moved to the right. After taking a step, he took Aurora's position just now, protecting Elvira, while Draco stared at the mid-air, a pearly-white translucent figure quickly approaching the freshman team.

"It's a ghost." Draco breathed a sigh of relief.

Aurora and Christie let out a sigh of relief before relaxing, and silently returned to their original positions.

About 20 pearly white translucent ghosts were gliding about half a person's height from the ground, causing the freshmen in front of them to scatter and scream, but these ghosts didn't seem to care Speaking freely, probably due to its own characteristics, Xixi Suosuo's dialogue sound is like a whisper, if there is nothing, it is hard to hear clearly.

There was only a chubby ghost in a monk's costume, who turned around and said to the children below: "Oh! Freshmen, hehe, I'm really sorry just now~ I scared you, please forgive me~ I'm going to the sorting ceremony! Good luck to you all! I hope you can be assigned to Hufflepuff, you must know that I used to belong to that college." After speaking, he disappeared into the wall along with other ghosts.

"Okay! Now, single file," Professor McGonagall said to the first-years, "follow me."

At the end of the foyer is a gorgeous double door, through which you enter the luxurious dining room.Hermione felt that this restaurant was built in a magnificent cathedral. The students in the academy had already taken their seats, and the four long tables were filled with polished gold plates and goblets. , on the upper stage is a teacher's table, and all the professors are sitting there watching them.

Those candles for lighting are all floating in mid-air, at least there are thousands of them, and they are emitting a faint yellow halo. Even the pale ghosts just now were illuminated with soft colors, it seems that they are no longer so. It’s scary, and the most amazing thing is the ceiling of the entire restaurant, which is neither a mural nor a sculpture, it’s like velvet, dotted with moving stars on the thick night on one side, Rao has already known its appearance from the movie Aurora was also dumbfounded, and opened her mouth slightly.

Professor McGonagall seemed to be used to these behaviors of all first-year freshmen. He naturally walked ahead, took a goblet from the dining table and turned it upside down on the ground, but a Transfiguration spell hit it, and a high stool appeared on the freshman In front of them, she then placed the wizard hat, which must have been patched and looked extremely old, on the bar stool.

The hat twisted, and a slit opened at its brim, like a mouth, and slowly sang:

You may think I'm not pretty,

But don't judge people by their cover,

……

Maybe you'll be in Slytherin,

Maybe you make a true friend here,

But those cunning and insidious people will do everything possible to

to achieve their goals.

Come put on me!Don't be afraid!

Never panic!

In my hands you are absolutely safe,

Because I am a thinking hat!

When Aurora heard that her favorite Slytherin house was sung so badly by the Sorting Hat in the lyrics, she immediately frowned and whispered to her friend next to her: "What is insidious and cunning? It sounds so ugly! Insidious? This is called Strategy! It sounds insidious to say the least, but when it is applied to counselors, it means to be prepared when you think about it; when it is applied to ancient kings, it means that you will never tire of deceit and make decisions for thousands of miles!"

Draco paused when he heard Aurora's rebuttal, and comforted him: "The misunderstanding is due to ignorance, so don't pay attention to them."

At this time, Professor McGonagall took out a piece of parchment, stood next to the sorting hat and began to read: "Next, whoever's name I call will come up and put on the hat for sorting. Listen up! Hannah Aibo!"

A little girl with chestnut hair in two braids ran out of the team, her pace was a bit hurried, and she almost fell down on the way. She was sitting on a high stool, and Professor McGonagall put the sorting hat on her head , the hat was so big that it almost covered half of her face, and after a while, the hat called out to the house: "Hufflepuff!" Professor McGonagall picked up the hat, and the girl stumbled towards the still applauding on the left. that long table.

Christie thought for a while and said: "It seems that the branches are arranged in order of name. Elvira should be the first, then me, then Aurora, and Draco is the last of us."

"Avella Brown."

Aiweila became nervous all of a sudden, Aurora patted her shoulder comfortingly, and then she hurried up to get on the stool.Seeing Elvira put on the sorting hat, Aurora suddenly felt that if the sorting hat were smaller and cleaner, it would look pretty good.

Then the Sorting Hat yelled, "Slytherin!"

Elvira immediately relaxed, smiled at the three who hadn't been sorted, and motioned for herself to sit down at the Slytherin table first.

Professor McGonagall continued, under the continuous allocation of the sorting hat, the freshmen went to different colleges.

"Christie Edward." Christie took a deep breath, nodded to Aurora and Draco, and walked up calmly.

"Gryffindor!" said the Sorting Hat.

Christie walked towards the Gryffindor table, and Gryffindor applauded enthusiastically.

"Aurora Holmes." It didn't take long before Professor McGonagall called Aurora's name.

Aurora cheered up, and walked directly to the stool. As soon as she sat down, the hat was covered.

"Oh! Another Sherlock Holmes." Aurora heard a voice speaking, "Smart girl who loves to read, it should be Ravenclaw... Well, wait, let me see what this is? To Slater Lin's maintenance...seems like you could be willing to go to Slytherin?"

"Yes, I would rather go to Slytherin than Ravenclaw. Of course, it would be even better if you are willing to talk about other advantages of Slytherin during the next sorting." Aurora suggested politely.

The Sorting Hat muttered, "Other advantages? It seems that you think treachery and cunning are also one of the advantages?"

"Of course, compared to what you say, I prefer to understand it as a strategy when necessary... After all..."

"In this case... Slytherin!" The Sorting Hat interrupted Aurora's "brainwashing" of himself, and directly announced that Aurora would be assigned to Slytherin.

Aurora felt a bright light in front of her eyes, and Professor McGonagall picked up the Sorting Hat. Aurora looked at the Sorting Hat regretfully, and she hadn't finished speaking yet.After Aurora gave Draco a "we're waiting for you" mouth shape, she sat next to Elvira in the warm applause of Slytherin.

Aurora felt a quick look at her, and looked in the direction, it was the seats of the teachers, locked on that touch of black among the various colors, it was Professor Snape.Aurora remembered that Snape was the Head of Slytherin, so she gave Snape a big smile.

Snape did look at Aurora, seeing the smile she gave him after being assigned to his Slytherin.Snape suddenly thought of the potion he blew up the day he took her and Christie to Diagon Alley, so Snape gave Aurora a death gaze and was speechless at her "silly smile".

Then Professor McGonagall continued to read the name, and after a few more people: "Draco Malfoy!"

Draco straightened his robe and walked towards the four-legged stool with firm and elegant steps, not at all flustered like those before, and the hat quickly judged his destination: "Slytherin!"

Draco walked towards the Slytherin table satisfied.

The sorting ceremony continued, and Harry Potter was naturally sorted into Gryffindor without exception, and the last one was Blaise Zabini, who was sorted into Slytherin.After everyone divided the colleges, Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment, picked up the sorting hat and left.

Albus Dumbledore stood up.He looked at the students with a big smile, and stretched out his arms to them: "Welcome to Hogwarts to start a new school year! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. That is: idiot! Scream! Dregs Twist! Thank you all!" He sat down again.Everyone applauds and cheers.

The long table in front of me was filled with food in an instant, roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steak, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, French chips, Yorkshire pudding, pea sprouts, carrots, gravy, tomato sauce, and And for some odd reason, mint hard candy.

As dinner ended, Dumbledore gave some more precautions.Then, the freshmen were led to their common room by their prefects.

Slytherin's public lounge is located at the bottom of the lake, translucent, and decorated with silver-green. The fire in the huge fireplace is always burning, completely dispelling the coldness of the cellar.

The green Slytherin College emblem was embossed on the front wall, and other blank spaces that needed to be decorated were decorated with small snake statues and patterns that could be seen everywhere.Carved chairs and desks are distributed around the fireplace, which is convenient for students to rest, warm and do homework.

After entering the lounge, the old students went to their dormitories one after another through the corridors on the left and right, leaving the little snakes who had just entered the academy waiting to receive the freshmen's lecture from Dean Snake King.

It didn't take long for them to wait, and Snape rolled in from the outside of the lounge in a black robe.He walked all the way to the largest and most gorgeous fireplace in the lounge, then suddenly turned around and glanced indifferently at the little snake who seemed to be quite peaceful.

"Since the great Salazar established Slytherin, glory has been accompanied here all the time..." Snape's voice was not loud but could ring in everyone's ears, soft but full of coercion.

After admonishing, His Highness the Snake King once again glanced around the trembling little snakes, seeing Aurora who showed no signs of fear, Snape's gaze paused slightly, and then strode away with billowing robes.

After Snape left, the freshmen started looking for dormitories.After Aurora and Elvira said goodnight to Draco, they found the dormitory with their names on it.Coincidentally, Aurora's roommate is Elvira, and Aurora looked at Elvira with a smile, "Seeing that we have to be roommates again."

There are not many girls in Slytherin, so there are only Aurora and Elvira in the whole dormitory.

Even Aurora, who practiced martial arts, was exhausted after this day, let alone Avilla, who didn't exercise often.So the two packed up their things, took a quick wash and lay down on the bed.

Just when both of them were about to fall asleep, Aurora suddenly said: "Avra, let's get up early tomorrow to find out the way, so as not to be late on the first day."

"……good…."
