Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 18: Bad fun

Unfortunately, most of the little wizards on the boat did not have time to appreciate the Hogwarts Castle in the rain, and the icy rain made them shiver.

"Why do first-year freshmen take a boat to cross the river?" Albert retracted his gaze and looked at the three people on the same boat whose teeth were chattering from the cold.

"No, I don't know, I don't want to know at all."

"Me too, it's so cold." The twins also echoed, and now they're almost freezing to death, who is in the mood to pay attention to these things.

Albert couldn't help shaking his head. He still knew a little about the ceremony of crossing the river by boat. This is actually to let the freshmen who came to Hogwarts follow the route that the four founders came to Hogwarts Castle. The reason why the boat is a group of four actually represents the original four founders. It is similar to a kind of inheritance ceremony, so that the students who come here can feel the excitement and joy of the founders, and at the same time remember the hardships of the founders in establishing the school.

But, how many people really know about it now?

I don't even know Hagrid who led them across the lake.

However, few students would care about these things.

"Watch out, head down!" Hagrid shouted.

The freshmen quickly bowed their heads when they heard the words.

The boat carried them across the cliffs to the dock below the castle.

"It sucks, I hate rain." One of the twins folded his arms and sneezed.

Everyone was soaked all over, shaking like a sieve.

"How did you do it?" Li Jordan asked in surprise. He found that the rain had not wet Albert's robe and pointed hat.

"A simple magic." Albert explained softly, noticing the gazes of others.

"Okay, everyone come with me." Hagrid took the oil lamp and walked up a gravel-paved path with the newborn, reaching the lawn below the castle. In front of them was a stone staircase. , stone steps leading to the oak door of the castle.

A witch in an emerald green robe stood in front of the oak door. Albert knew him. She was Professor McGonagall who had been to the Albert's house.

"Thank you, Hagrid, the freshman will be handed over to me." Professor McGonagall looked at the embarrassed freshman, and Albert felt the corners of her mouth twitch.

This is not surprising at all. The appearance of the new students can no longer be described as embarrassed. Almost everyone was drenched in soup and covered in mud.

"First-year freshmen, come with me."

Professor McGonagall led the freshman into the castle, and Albert followed behind the team, looking left and right at the thousand-year-old castle.

"That's Professor McGonagall, the head of Gryffindor, and Percy said Professor McGonagall was strict," George whispered.

"Oh, I saw her once. My sister loves Professor McGonagall's trick of turning a teacup into a mouse." Albert's attention was on the stone wall, and he had always suspected that those flaming torches were Not eternal fire.

It is said that there is a kind of fairy fire called what can burn forever, which is in line with this scene.

"Let's go, what are you looking at?" Fred pushed Albert gently and urged in a low voice.

"I'm thinking what kind of magic fire that is, it shouldn't be an ordinary flame." If you don't see smoke, it means that this is not an ordinary flame.

Fred opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Albert intends to find out these things later, the castle has many secrets for him to explore.

After Albert had the idea of ​​exploring the castle, a task popped up on the panel:

The Millennium School: Hogwarts.

Hogwarts is an ancient and mysterious school of magic. It has existed for thousands of years. There are countless unknown secrets hidden in this ancient castle. As a curious secret explorer, you are not Such an opportunity should be given. Explore Hogwarts Castle and find hidden secrets before graduation.

Current progress: 1%.

Rewards 1000-100000 experience, 1-10 skill points.

"I'm so stupid!" Albert couldn't help but swear in his heart, which was astonishing, right?

This is definitely the most compelling mission he's ever seen.

Is this going to force me to become a night wanderer?

It seems that mastering the Illusory Body Spell must be put on the agenda in advance. Albert began to think about how to get the phantom spell.

The freshman was led by Professor McGonagall into the waiting room of the branch. There was not much space inside, and everyone was crowded together.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said in his opening remarks, according to the annual practice, "the opening banquet is about to begin, but before you go to the dining room, you must first make sure that you are entering Which college..."

As in the leadership speech in the previous life: I said a few words here, and then I talked for more than half an hour. Although Professor McGonagall did not exaggerate, he also talked for more than ten minutes.

Albert's remarks to Professor McGonagall can be summed up in three simple points: accommodation, divisions, and the Academy Cup.

After the usual Hogwarts instructions, Professor McGonagall asked all the freshmen to line up and let her clean up the water and dirt from her body.

As the vice president of the school, Professor McGonagall couldn't tolerate freshmen entering the hall like this. This embarrassed appearance was a shame for Hogwarts.

The freshmen are crowding in, hoping to dry their clothes as soon as possible~IndoMTL.com~ The humidity and cold make them uncomfortable.

"Is this squeezing sardines?" Albert looked at the group of freshmen with interest, took a step back, and took the initiative to stay behind the team. The rain did not affect him much.

Professor McGonagall moved very quickly, using the Descaler and Drying Charms skillfully. It only took a few minutes, and it was Albert's turn soon.

She glanced at Albert in surprise, and then cast the same spell on him. The clothes immediately became dry and warm, and the splashed soil on the boots and pants disappeared.

"Now, please be quiet," Professor McGonagall said loudly. "I'll pick you up when it's ready over there."

After Professor McGonagall left the room, everyone was whispering about the branch.

"How to sort?"

“How can they accurately assign everyone to the right college?”

"Maybe, some kind of test."

Speaking of the test, everyone was nervous.

Watching this scene, Albert suddenly wanted to laugh. He kind of understood why others were reluctant to tell the freshmen the way.

What a bunch of nasty guys!

"You're not nervous at all? I'm Alia Spinnet." A young girl came over to talk, and Albert gave her a hand earlier.

Of course, the girl came to talk, probably because of Albert's calmness. No matter how you look at it, she looks like she knows the secret of the branch.

In fact, she guessed right.

"As long as I don't go to Slytherin, I can accept it." Albert shrugged, but he didn't reveal the intention of the sorting ceremony at all. It was interesting to see the nervous faces of the freshmen.

Well, Albert admits that he does have some bad tastes.
