Harry Potter and the Rise of the Ordinary Person Chapter 19:

　　 "Each boat cannot exceed four people!" Hagrid pointed to a group of boats moored on the shore and said loudly. Joe, Neville, Hermione and Hannah Abbot, who just met the same school, have the same name.

　　 "Have you all been on the boat?" Hagrid shouted, taking a boat by himself. "Okay...Go forward!" A group of small boats slid across the mirror-like lake and drove forward. Everyone was silent, staring at the huge castle high into the sky. When they approached the cliff where the castle was, the castle seemed to rise above their heads.

　　 "Head down!" Hagrid yelled 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.

　　 Then they climbed up a tunnel in the rock under the light of Hagrid's lantern, and finally reached a flat and 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 a huge fist and knocked three times on the castle gate.

　　 The door opened immediately, and Professor McGonagall stood in the doorway, her expression still so serious, presumably she wanted to give the freshmen a chance.

　　 "Professor McGonagall, the first-year students are here." Hagrid reported.

　　 "Thank you, Hagrid, I will take them in." She pushed the door completely open. The entrance hall inside is so big that it can even accommodate the entire Dursley house. Torches illuminate the stone walls brightly, the roof is unimaginably high, and the beautiful marble staircase on the front leads to the upper floor.

　　 The children followed Professor McGonagall across a floor full of colored flags. Harry could hear hundreds of loud noises coming from the entrance on the right-other students from the school had also arrived. ——But Professor McGonagall took all the freshmen to a small empty house far from the hall. They all squeezed in, standing densely, looking around nervously.

　　 "Welcome to Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall said loudly, "The opening dinner will begin soon. But before that, you will be assigned to your respective colleges. The assignment ceremony is very important. , Because since you are here, your college is your home at Hogwarts. You will have classes, live together, and play games with other students in the college." "These four colleges are called Gryffins. Many, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each college has its glorious and long history, and has cultivated talented magicians. During your time at Hogwarts, if you observe discipline, you will Give you extra points. If you violate the rules, you will be deducted. At the end of each year, the child in the college with the highest score will be awarded a supreme honor-the "College Cup." I hope you can all do it for yourself The college wins glory.

　　"The distribution ceremony will begin in front of the teachers and students in the school in a few minutes. I suggest you use this waiting time to dress yourself up better." Her eyes fixed on Neville’s right below her left ear. The hat string and Ron's dirty nose stayed for a while.

　　 "We will call you when we are ready. You can wait here quietly for a while." She finally left the small room, and Joe saw Neville next to her in a cold sweat.

　　Beside them, Ron and Harry are discussing the criteria for allocating colleges. These two unlucky children thought they were going to take an exam! Especially Weasley, he was almost frightened by the difficult scenes his unscrupulous brothers said.

　　 Suddenly, a few people behind him suddenly screamed, startling Joe and the others.

　　 "What are you doing—?" Someone murmured dissatisfiedly, but after only a small meeting, the rumors disappeared, and Joe saw the little wizards hold their breath. About twenty ghosts entered through the wall from behind. They are all as white as pearls, and they are translucent. They talked and drifted across the room, dismissing these new students, as if they were arguing about something. One of the short, fat little monks said, "Forgive him, forget the whole thing. I think we should give him another chance—" "My dear good monk, we have given Pippi enough. It’s a chance. He made us ghosts notorious. It’s not a good thing—hey, what are you doing here?” It was a ghost in a wheel-shaped ruffled-collar tights. She suddenly found the group of children under her.

　　 No one dared to answer.

　　 "They are new students!" The fat monk said to them while smiling, "I think, maybe you are going to be tested?" Some children nodded quietly.

　　 "I wish you Hufflepuff," the monk shouted, "You know what ~ IndoMTL.com~ I graduated from there." "Now go forward," a soprano shouted, "Assign The ceremony is about to begin." Professor McGonagall returned, and the ghosts passed through the opposite wall one by one and left.

　　 "Stand in a line," Professor McGonagall told the freshmen, "Now follow me!"

　　The group of them crossed the hall again, walked into an opposite door, and entered the Great Hall.

　　The other senior students are sitting at four long tables. Above their heads, there are thousands of candles floating in the air, illuminating the entire Great Hall. The table was full of shiny gold plates and goblets. There is another long table on the stage directly in front of the conference, where the teachers are all sitting. Professor McGonagall led the freshmen up to the high platform and told them to stand in a row facing the seniors and back to the teacher. The thousands of faces staring at them are like little pale lanterns in the shining candlelight. The ghosts scattered among the students turned the vague silverware into sparkle. In order to avoid the gaze from the audience, Joe looked up and happened to see the velvety black ceiling dotted with stars. He heard Hermione whisper in his ear: "Someone had used magic on it to make it look more like the starry sky outside. This is what I learned in Hogwarts, a School History." Really. It is hard to imagine that the Great Hall is not in the open air, and there is a ceiling on the top of the hall.

　　Professor McGonagall quietly placed a four-legged stool in front of the freshmen, and then put a top-notch magician's hat on the four-legged stool. This hat is worn, old and dirty.

　　 It's finally time to verify Occlumency. Joe thought secretly in his heart. Never fail this time~IndoMTL.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read. The latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~IndoMTL.com~ For mobile phone users, please go to read.
