The Bard at Hogwarts

After watching Malfoy and the other three leave, Ino took a nap while leaning on the backrest, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

After all, I got up at eight o'clock in the morning and went out, and I have been holding on until now. I can relax for a while to regain my energy, and it will also be convenient for the sorting ceremony in the evening.

Speaking of the sorting ceremony, Ino immediately rejected Harry's subjective forced sorting.

Perhaps it was because he had been doing divination for a long time, and now he wanted to follow the fate and see which college he would enter.

Similarly, he did not forget the Occlumency that Snape mentioned before, and he just took this opportunity to test it and see if the Sorting Hat could still have a good chat when encountering Occlumency.

…

Outside the car window, fields flew by.

As the neat farmland slowly disappears, there are dense woods, winding rivers and green hills.

Time seemed to be taken away by some mysterious force, and several hours flew by.

Ino opened his sparse eyes and looked out the car window. He found that the sky was completely dark at this time. There were mountains and trees under the deep purple sky. It was impossible to tell where he was at this moment.

He slept intermittently this time, sleeping from noon to dusk.

His eyes turned to the cubicle.

"Ha! You still have a long face." Ino thought to himself.

Malfoy had been gloomy since he came back at noon, looking like he was unhappy.

It looked like someone who had been chatting online for three years and met offline, with high expectations and disillusionment.

Perhaps at the beginning, Malfoy really wanted to be friends with Harry, but he forgot that the greatest torture in the world is to love with contempt at the same time.

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train and we will take you to school."

Just as Ino sighed, an announcement sounded in the carriage, and then the speed of the car slowed down visibly.

ten minutes later.

"The car has stopped. If you don't plan to get out of the car and miss the opening dinner, we will have to see you next year."

After saying that, Ino ignored the three people beside him and walked towards the door alone.

He didn't have a deep friendship with Malfoy, and they only mentioned it because they were in the same carriage.

Pushing open the compartment, the originally empty aisle was filled to the brim with little wizards coming out one after another, pushing and shoving towards the car door.

Fortunately, the compartment he was in was relatively far back, so he didn't have to squeeze into the center of the crowd. He just had to walk slowly forward along with the flow.

Hogsmeade Station.

The bottom station of the Hogwarts Express is a very small and old platform.

"First-year freshmen! First-year freshmen come over here and come closer to me! Harry~Harry, come over to my side."

On the platform, Ino heard the sound and saw a giant man at least 10 feet tall with a big beard.

"Long time no see! Rubeus Hagrid."

With a sigh, he also walked towards Hagrid.

at the same time.

Above the sea of ​​people with cluttered heads, Hagrid was holding a revolving lantern that was only available in the Middle Ages. The orange magical flame in the lantern was extremely conspicuous in the dark night, making his messy beard and giant body particularly clear.

Under the leadership of Hagrid, the first-year students were like swimming sturgeons, moving slowly along the steep and narrow path one by one.

Perhaps it had just rained, and the road was extremely slippery. From time to time, I had to be careful of the various vines under my feet. This road... perfectly explained what it meant - stumbling.

It was pitch black all around, except for the front end, where Hagrid's revolving lantern brought a glimmer of light.

He couldn't help but sigh at the surrounding environment. He really couldn't understand that there were countless floating jack-o'-lanterns even on Halloween.

Why is it so dark when we get here? We don’t require any bright lights, but you should at least install a street light.

Ino picked up the wand, waved it gently, and whispered: "The flames are blazing!"

A beam of flame suddenly rose from the top of the elder wand, then quickly expanded to the size of a fist, and then floated steadily on the tip of the wand.

The long-term magic practice finally reaped its fruits at this moment.

From a distance, it looked like a small torch was suddenly lit on a dark path.

The rising flames emitted warm light, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness and coldness.

"Swinburne..."

Vaguely, Ino seemed to hear someone calling him from behind, and subconsciously looked back, but it was pitch black in the distance and he saw nothing.

Anyone who has experienced surviving in the wild knows that lighting a torch in the dark is probably just to illuminate others, because the person holding the torch will be limited by the light of the fire.

"Looks like it's either Hermione or Hannah."

Although Ino couldn't see people clearly, he knew in his heart that there were only two girls he knew here.

Apart from Hermione, whom I met through divination before, the only other person left was Hannah, the Iron Hat King, whom I met while living in the Leaky Cauldron.

Ignoring the envious looks of the little wizards around him, Ino raised his wand and continued on his way.

He soon regretted his behavior. People's natural tendency to light made the little wizards around him unconsciously move closer.

"Don't squeeze...Hey! As for you, don't hang on me..."

After a long period of turmoil, Ino finally restored order to the little wizards around him. At the same time, he felt a sense of fear in his heart.

If there was a mass stampede accident because of him... Heh, I might be able to skip Hogwarts and go straight to Azkaban.

"Quiet! Little ones, turn around this bay and you will see Hogwarts for the first time soon."

Hagrid's huge voice lifted everyone's spirits, and they had gone through all the hard work just to get to the castle early.

A few minutes later.

Everyone walked through the slippery path and came to the edge of a black lake.

On the high hillside on the other side of the lake, stands a majestic and majestic castle. The castle is lined with spiers and bright windows, like twinkling stars in the dark night.

"Remember! No more than four people per boat!"

Hagrid pointed at a group of boats parked on the shore and shouted loudly.

Compared to others who hesitated to move forward, Ino took the lead in boarding a nearby boat.

The role of example is huge. After seeing him boarding the boat, other little wizards also jumped on the boat closest to them. Of course, there was a lot of excitement during the process.

"Have you all boarded the boat?" Hagrid shouted. After confirming that nothing was left behind, he walked towards the last single boat.

"Set off!"

One by one, there was no wind, and the boats moved automatically across the mirror-flat lake towards the other shore.

…

"Did you just use a fire-making spell?"

On the boat, Ino heard the familiar voice again, and this time he finally identified the owner of the voice.

"Miss Granger! Was my previous divination accurate?"

"I was asking about your magic just now!" Hermione corrected.

"I know, but before that I always have to take responsibility for my divination, after all, I took your money!"

"You...hum! Stingy!"

Hermione bit her lip gently, she was really angry now.

This was completely different from what she expected. Who would have thought that the other party would not talk about magic, but would instead be obsessed with the one-pound divination.
