Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 6: Hogwarts Express


   The sun on September 1 was exceptionally bright, and it seems that even God is congratulating all the freshmen for enrolling.

   The sky above London is transparent, and a few faint clouds hang on the blue sky. The refreshing breeze blew everyone's ears, as if softly speaking, people intoxicated.

  Maca bought a new suitcase in Diagon Alley. This suitcase is a second-hand item bought in a junk shop. The non-marking stretch curse in it is a bit damaged, and the space is much smaller, but fortunately the Ministry of Magic’s The permit sticker is also firmly attached to the inside flap.

  Maca tried to belittle the box and cut the price several times, finally endured the pain and bought it. At this moment, he is walking easily on the platform aisle of Kings Cross Station, enjoying the happy mood that he bought with Jin Jialong-luggage only has an owl and a lightweight suitcase. This kind of travel is How wonderful.

   After a while, he came between the 9th and 10th platforms, but he hesitated staring at the thick supporting pillar.

   "Oh?" Maca stretched out his hand, and as expected he passed through the stone-brick column wall, showing a surprised expression.

   The first time I am a bit uncomfortable, although I don't feel pain, I still feel a little nervous. With a small step forward, he found that he had passed through there and came to the real Hogwarts Express platform.

  The thick smoke of the steam locomotive wafted over the chirping crowd, and cats of various colors were pierced under people's feet. In the buzzing voice of the crowd and the noise of dragging heavy luggage, the owl also screamed harshly, and you called me.

  The owl standing on Maca’s left shoulder looks a lot bigger than the others, and it’s very quiet, not at all cooing like those little guys. It blinked its big bright eyes and looked at the crowd in the aisle ahead, unmoved at all.

   Yes, after this time of getting along, Maca discovered that his pure black owl doesn't seem to like to stay in a cage. Since he released it, it has never been back.

   "Marfa, let's go!" Maca gave it a very prestigious name-Malfurion, of course, referred to as "Marfa".

   "Goo." Marfa yelled softly in agreement.

   There were already a lot of people in the carriages. Maca passed several carriages and didn't see anyone he knew, so he chose a few compartments at random and walked in.

   "Oh, good morning!" Maca stood at the door and nodded to the person inside, "Do you mind if I sit here?"

   "Of course, please come in!" a black-haired boy replied immediately.

   The boy looked a little restrained and didn't seem to be very good at communicating with people. After he answered one sentence, he shrank back in his seat and said nothing.

   "Do you mind introducing yourself?" Seeing that the atmosphere in the cubicle was a bit cold, Maca had to start with a topic, "My name is Maca, Maca McLean, how about you?"

   "...Anthony Goldstein." The black-haired boy whizzed, looking even more nervous.

   It seems that he does not seem very good at chatting. Maca nodded and stopped communicating with the other party any more. He still has a lot to do! For example, endorsement, endorsement and endorsement.

   took out a copy of "A Thousand Wonders of Herbs and Mushrooms" from the suitcase, and Maca read it carefully-it was a bit thick, and the plants inside were quite diverse. He has Only a little and a half were memorized.

   After a short while, two more people came in one after another in the compartment. It seems that because of the increase in people, the black-haired Anthony has always been in an unnatural state from the beginning. He kept forcing himself to look out the window, pretending to be looking at the scenery.

   "Hello everyone! My name is Ernie McMillan, and I am glad to meet you." The blond boy who just came in looked very sunny. He looked at Maca who was sitting across from him and greeted him loudly.

  Maca nodded at him, smiled and introduced herself, then turned to look at the last girl who came in.

   "Well, that..." The girl was stroking her long brown hair vigorously, as if she wanted them to be more submissive, and it seemed that she was not satisfied with her naturally slightly curly hair.

   "Lisa, Lisa Dupin...oh!" she was talking, and she suddenly screamed, probably because she was stroking too hard and she pulled off a few hairs.

   "Hey, Maca! I said, what are you reading?" Ernie was short and chubby, but his clothes were gorgeous and bright, and he seemed to be from a good family.

   It’s just that Maca didn’t find the arrogant temperament that your children often had in him, and seemed to be a friend worth making.

   "Oh, I'm reading a textbook!" Maca erected the book and showed Ernie the cover.

   "Oh! I also have this book at home, but I never thought about reading it. It is too thick, and the title seems boring." Ernie scratched his head. Make the neat blonde hair mess.

   Lisa, who was sitting next to Maca, looked at Ernie's hair and frowned, but didn't say anything, just turned her head to look at Maca.

  Maca has always felt that maintaining a clean appearance is a necessary task, which can make others feel good about themselves. After all, most people still like a flat dress and a clean appearance, although Maca personally thinks that it is only necessary to be comfortable.

   Lisa looked at Maca secretly, then nodded in satisfaction.

   Obviously, this cute-looking girl is not only demanding of her own appearance, but also of others.

   After this, except for Anthony who basically didn't speak much, the other three had some initial exchanges, and they agreed to have more exchanges in school. Of course, Lisa obviously prefers to talk to Maca, although Ernie, who is a little bit nervous, didn't realize this.

   As for the harvest along the way, in addition to backing dozens of herbs, what is left is probably "Hurry up with Miss Hermione Granger"!

   It’s just that her arrogant attitude, super fast speech speed, and fierce code of action make Maca a little bit overwhelmed. After a few perfunctory sentences, Hermione hurriedly left.

   By the way, she was helping Neville to find a toad—probably so. In fact, Maca didn’t hear much clearly. At that time, his attention was all on memorizing the name of the herb!

The    Hogwarts Express train ran all day, and when the speed of the car gradually slowed down, it was already dark.

The terminus of the    train is set across the lake outside the back door of Hogwarts. Freshmen have to take a four-person boat to Hogwarts. This is probably one of the traditions of Hogwarts. Of course, if you think you have seasickness in the future, maybe you can walk around the lake to the front door, although it sounds a bit silly.

   "Head down!" Hagrid, who was occupying a boat alone, shouted as the first boats approached the cliff.

   Everyone bowed their heads, and the boat carried them through the ivy tent covering the front of the cliff to the secret open entrance. They appeared to be underground in the castle along a dark tunnel, and finally reached a place similar to an underground dock, and then climbed onto a ground of gravel and small pebbles.

  Under the light of Hagrid’s lantern, the freshmen climbed up a tunnel in the rock, and finally reached a flat damp grass in the shadow of the castle.

  Everyone climbed up a section of stone steps and gathered in front of a huge oak door.

   "Are you all here?" Hagrid raised his huge fist and knocked on the castle gate three times.

  The door suddenly opened, and a tall, black-haired witch in an emerald-green robe stood in front of the door. She has a serious look, and she seems to be a character who is not very foolish.

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

   "Thank you, Hagrid, let me pick you up when you get here."

   is Hogwarts Castle in the end, even the hall at the back entrance is terrifyingly big. There is a row of burning torches on the stone wall~IndoMTL.com~ The ceiling is so high that the top is almost invisible, and the front is a luxurious marble staircase that leads to the upper floor.

   There was a faint noisy voice from the door on the right. The other senior students at Hogwarts must have arrived first. But Professor McGonagall did not take them directly inside, but led them to an empty room across the hall.

   This empty room is not much space. The freshmen are standing next to each other, and most people are nervously watching everything around them.

  Maca is no exception. He was carrying a suitcase and was squeezed into a corner by the crowd. Even the Owl Mafa reluctantly stood on top of his head.

   "Welcome you to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said, "The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you go to the restaurant, you must first determine which college you enter. Classification It’s a very important ceremony, because during your school, the college is like your home at Hogwarts..."

  Maca was squeezed behind, and did not have the interest to listen to Professor McGonagall’s speech carefully, but quietly waited for the beginning of everything.

   "...I will pick you up when there is ready." Professor McGonagall said, "Please keep quiet while waiting."

   Just as Professor McGonagall’s voice fell off, Maca suddenly heard a "guru".

   "River!" A boy yelled from the front, and Maca shook his head dumbly.

   "Please keep quiet!"

  Professor McGonagall repeated it in a hard tone, and then left the room. Maca immediately heard the laughter of several people in front of him.

   "Oh--!" Suddenly, several people screamed in front of them.

  "What's the matter?" Maca whispered, standing on tiptoe and looking forward, "Hey, that's—"
