The first White Lord of Hogwarts

""Good, so high!"

Hagrid suddenly appeared from the darkness, which really scared many young wizards.

Ivan even found that Neville was sobbing softly.

He shook his head helplessly, and could only pat Neville's back like taking care of his younger brother, and comforted him not to worry too much about the sorting ceremony.

Next, the team separated here, and the senior students went to the other side to take the carriage to the auditorium, leaving a group of young wizards crowded here, waiting for Hagrid's arrangement.

"Watch your step! Come on, follow me!"

"First-year students, follow me!"

With the rough voice and Hagrid's loud voice, every little wizard at the station could hear his words clearly.

Ivan looked at the road ahead. It was a steep and narrow path. It was pitch black on both sides of the path. It was a dense forest.

Hermione and Neville on the left and right got closer.

Not only them, but all the little wizards were a little scared.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a little witch screamed. It turned out that the muddy ground under her feet was too slippery. She accidentally tripped and almost fell.

Ivan shook his head. He really couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"Light up the way ahead!"

Taking out his magic wand, Ivan gently waved the lantern in Hagrid's hand.

The next moment, the light of the lantern in Hagrid's hand kept swaying, and dots of light fell from it. On the originally dark mud road, golden footprints illuminated the road behind Hagrid.

"Wow~~"

"What's this?"

"The footprints are glowing, is it the big guy's magic?"

But soon, after Neville, Hermione and others around Ivan explained, the little wizards knew the origin of this magic.

For a moment, all the little wizards looked at Ivan, their eyes were full of longing, envy, amazement, and of course jealousy and unwillingness.

""Oh!!"

Hagrid also noticed this scene. He looked at the lantern that had turned golden like a little sun, and looked at Ivan gratefully:"Did you make this? What kind of magic is this?"

In fact, Hagrid also noticed the problem with this road.

However, only young wizards would walk here, and it was only once a year, so there was really no need to repair it.

In addition, letting young wizards walk in the dark was itself a reason to imitate the original four giants, hoping that they could experience the feeling of the founders discovering Hogwarts.

"This magic is called Light Up the Way, sir."

Ivan explained,"I created this spell based on the fluorescent flashes and the appearance of the original form."

"Creation?"

Hagrid was stunned for a moment:"You mean, you created a new spell?!"

Not only Hagrid, but other little wizards who heard that Ivan could create spells all showed an expression of disbelief.

"Unbelievable"

"Is he really a little wizard?"

".….."

The young wizards were talking about it, but Ivan didn't care. Instead, Hermione beside him was full of pride.

Miss Beaver wanted to tell them loudly how good Ivan was.

When it came to Ivan's boasting, Hermione Granger would never lose to anyone!

"I heard that walking the path of the Big Four again is a ritual that contains a mysterious and powerful protective magic."

Ivan took Hermione to Hagrid. There were not many first-year students, so even if Ivan's voice was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly.

"Yes and you…"

"Ivan Ambrosius."

Ivan said, and waved his wand again, making the bright golden footprints dim, but still allowing the little wizards to see the road clearly and avoid falling.

This scene made Hagrid amazed.

"I have never seen a little wizard who has such a spellcasting ability before entering school."

Hagrid exclaimed, but the opening dinner was about to start, and he could not delay any longer. He could only thank Ivan and then greet the little wizards:"Come on, follow my footsteps and be careful where you step." The little episode in the forest did not last long.

They only knew that this year there was an extraordinary little wizard, a magical genius.

""Turn this corner and you'll see Hogwarts for the first time,"

Hagrid called back.

Then, a loud exclamation of 'Oh' broke out from the crowd.

Ivan and Hermione held hands and looked up. Suddenly, a black lake opened up at the end of the narrow path.

On the other side of the lake, on the high hillside, stood a towering castle with towers and windows twinkling under the starry sky.

This dreamlike scene left a deep impression on the freshmen.

"So beautiful."

Hermione excitedly shook Ivan's hand and said,"Is this Hogwarts? I can't believe we will study magic here in the future."

"No more than four people on each boat!"

Hagrid said loudly, pointing to a group of small boats moored on the shore.

Ivan took Hermione and Neville on board, as well as a girl with two golden braids. When he heard her name was Hannah Abbott, even Ivan could not help but stand in awe. As the saying goes, the protagonist changes with time, but the character of Abbott remains forever.

‘I remember that Hannah in the original book seemed to become Neville's wife. '

Thinking of this, Ivan looked at Hannah and Neville standing side by side. Both of them were shy and introverted. It was indeed suitable.

""Are you all on board?"

Hagrid, who was in a boat, called out to the others,"Well, let's go!"

A fleet of boats immediately sailed across the mirror-like lake.

Everyone was silent, staring at the huge castle that reached into the sky.

As they approached the cliff where the castle stood, the castle seemed to tower over their heads.

""Keep your heads down!"

Hagrid shouted as the first boats approached the cliff.

Everyone lowered their heads as the boats carried them through the ivy curtain covering the cliff face and came to the hidden open entrance.

They followed a dark tunnel that seemed to go under the castle, and finally reached a place like an underground dock, and then climbed up a gravel and pebbled ground.

""Hey, look! Is this your toad?"

The students got off the boat one after another, and Hagrid stopped Neville while checking the empty boat.

Ivan turned around, and he didn't know how Hagrid judged that the toad was Neville.

However, after Ivan turned on his psychic vision, he saw a very faint thread connecting Neville and the toad:"Is that it?"

Hagrid didn't have psychic vision, but he might have some special talents that could sense animals.

"Thank God!"

Neville stretched out his arms and shouted ecstatically. He never thought that his own Leif would meet him again here.

‘Wizard, thank God, are you sure? '

Ivan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He patted Neville's shoulder. Hermione was also happy that the boy was able to get his pet back.

To be honest, the two of them had almost given up on Leif.

They all felt that this toad had abandoned its silly little master.

"Follow me, don't fall behind."

After that, with the help of the light of Hagrid's lantern and the traces left by"Light the Way", they climbed up a tunnel in the rock and finally reached a flat and wet meadow under the shadow of the castle.

Everyone climbed up a stone staircase and gathered in front of a huge oak door. Hagrid raised his huge fist and knocked on the castle door three times.

At this point, Ivan lifted the spell and received gratitude from many little wizards.

Especially those little witches, if it weren't for Ivan's protection along the way, they would probably have their wizard robes stained with mud.
