Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy Chapter 27: New students opening banquet
As time passed, the sky outside the Hogwarts Express gradually dimmed. When it was almost seven o'clock, the train slowly stopped at Hogsmeade Village Station.
Hermione and Neville left the private room where Wright and Changchu were located long after they found Toad, and returned to their original private room. And now the first-year students need to follow Hagrid to take a boat ride across the lake, which is the practice of every freshman.
Older students need another way to get to Hogwarts Castle.
Wright and Changchu set foot on a clean slate path together. The senior students were surprised by the new slate path. After all, this road was supposed to be a rough and muddy dirt road, but Now it has completely changed its appearance.
Wright in the crowd quietly asked for credit next to Changchu. This path was also one of the tasks he completed during the summer vacation.
At the end of the stone path, more than a hundred carriages were parked there waiting for the arrival of the students. The front of the carriages was empty, as if it could be driven without any power. Only a very small number of students can see a night skimmer pulling in front of every carriage.
Wright led Changchu to the front of a carriage. Although the Ye Qi looks like a lot to many people, Wright, who has been with them for a long time, can still distinguish many nuances between Ye Qi. .
Just like this Yeqi standing in front of Wright, it has a unique name, Wuwu.
Wu Wu was named by Hagrid. It is also Hagrid’s favorite Ye Qi in the Forbidden Forest. Wu Wu is also the first Ye Qi born in the Forbidden Forest.
Wright and Wuwu have a very good relationship, and as a miraculous animal native to the Forbidden Forest, Wuwu has no less understanding of the environment in the Forbidden Forest than Hagrid. In the first half of the year, Wright rode Wuwu through the forbidden forest more than once.
Wright input a cloud of shadow energy into Wuwu's body, and Wuwu made a comfortable neigh, but this sound was not audible by any creature other than Ye Qi.
"Wright, what are you doing?" Changchu looked at Wright inexplicably stroking the air in front of the carriage, and couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything here?"
"There is a night ride in front of every carriage, and only those who have seen death can see them." Wright explained to Chang Chu, "But in fact, Ye Qi is a very docile personality. Fantastic animal, the name of the Yeqi standing in front of us is Wuwu, and it has a very good relationship with me."
Wright said, patted Wuwu on the neck affectionately.
"Okay, let's go up!" Letra got into the carriage together with Chang Chu, Wu Wu also started to act immediately after Wright and Chang Chu sat down.
I don’t know if it’s because of more rainy weather recently, there is a faint musty and straw smell inside the carriage. Even though Wright used it several times to clean it up, the smell still failed to dissipate completely. After trying a few more times and still finding no effect, Wright had no choice but to give up.
Wright and Changchu were rolling forward in a horse-drawn carriage, passing through a pair of magnificent cast-iron gates, accelerating on a long sloping lane, until they reached the castle. Finally, Wu Wu stopped with the swaying carriage, and Wright got out of the carriage with Chang Chu.
The two of them passed through the huge and majestic oak door in front of the castle door, entered the spacious and deep hall, followed the crowd through the right door leading to the hall, and then pulled in the hall. Wenclaw sat down at the long table.
After a while, the sorting ceremony will begin.
About ten minutes later, Professor McGonagall led a group of first-graders in a row into the auditorium.
Wright sat at the long table, looking with interest at the new students who were looking around, especially the few people he had met.
Hannah was standing nervously among a bunch of new students. Hermione was still standing with Neville. Her wrinkled school uniform was now clean and tidy, and there were no wet marks. , I don’t know if Professor McGonagall helped clean up.
Harry was standing not far from Hermione. His hair had been cut short at this time, and he couldn't tell that he was once a boy with fluttering hair. Harry was now looking up at the enchanted ceiling of the hall. Standing next to Harry was a red-haired Weasley with a few obvious bruises on his freckled face. It should be Ron, the youngest son of the Weasley family.
Wright wondered if the bruises on Ron's face were caused by Fred and George's flying skateboard.
Looking back, there is also a platinum blonde boy with a stinky face. Not surprisingly, he should be pulling the horse dung. Draco was chatting in a low voice with the two pudgy guys standing behind him. The two little kids seemed to have a silly brain. They were Crabbe and Gore.
Wright looked at the podium again, and all the familiar professors sat on the podium. He couldn't help but nodded, this is the Hogwarts he is familiar with!
Professor McGonagall gently put a four-legged board in front of the first grade students, and put the sorting hat on the stool. The restaurant immediately became quiet ~IndoMTL.com~ and it became audible.
The branching ceremony officially began.
After waiting for the hat to sing, Professor McGonagall took a roll of parchment in his hand and walked forward two steps.
is exactly the same as Wright’s impression, Hannah went to Hufflepuff, Hermione, Neville, Harry, and Ron went to Gryffindor, and Draco, Gore, and Crabbe went Slytherin. As for Ravenclaw's freshman, Wright has no impression.
After waiting for the Sorting Hat to report the last student to go to Slytherin, Professor McGonagall took the Sorting Hat and left the hall together. Dumbledore stood up from the principal's chair and announced that the dinner had officially begun.
After the students had finished eating the food on the table, Dumbledore stood up from his golden chair again, and quickly and concealed his eyes from Wright and Harry.
"Welcome to Hogwarts to start the new school year!" Dumbledore said, "Before going to your common room to take a break, I have a few things to keep in mind."
"Professor Derwent last year..."
Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, a huge sigh suddenly sounded in the hall.
"I know you are reluctant to give up Professor Derwent, but he also has his own pursuits," Dumbledore said. "This year's Defence Against the Dark Arts class is held by Professor Quirinas Quirrell."
Wright immediately turned his attention to Quilo, who became bald, wrapped in a long purple turban, stammered and trembles from time to time just after the summer vacation.
is coming! coming!
The first-year level-breaking devil, double-faced man, Quirrell!
