Harry Potter’s Natural Villain Chapter 308: School Opening Ceremony
Finally, the train slowed down slowly, and all the students heard a chaos all around, because everyone was busy putting their pets and luggage together and getting off the train. Ron wanted to supervise the order, and after returning just now, he disappeared from the carriage again, leaving Harry and Hermione to look after their respective pets.
They got out of the car, left the platform, and within a few steps, they saw a lantern glowing softly and staggered towards this side. The one carrying the lantern was Professor Grapland, Hogwarts. A serious middle-aged woman who is a teacher of the magical animal protection class of, she is now in charge of receiving freshmen in the first grade.
The students in the upper grades should be separated from the students in the first grade. As a rule, the first grade students need to take a boat to get there. This is to commemorate the four founders.
The rest of the group walked toward the outside of the station, and slowly passed through the narrow doorway to the road outside. The dark street was being washed by rain at this time, and the accumulated water flow consciously Flowing in one direction.
There are about a hundred horse-drawn carriages parked here, and they send students above the first grade to the castle every year.
Only a small number of people who may be called unfortunate can get a glimpse of the secret.
Yeqi, only those who have seen death will see their true faces.
In most people's eyes, the front of the carriage is still empty.
Luna quietly walked to the front of a carriage. In her gray eyes, some animals stood between the shafts. They looked a bit like reptiles, with no flesh on them, black. The fur is tightly attached to the skeleton, and every bone is clearly visible. Their heads are very similar to those of dragons, their eyes without pupils are white, staring intently. Wings emerged from the bulge between the shoulder bones-big, black and tough wings, which seemed to belong to a huge bat. These animals remained motionless, standing silently in the darkening darkness, looking strange and ominous.
The Ye Qi lowered his head gently, accepting her touch.
It's just that it looks weird to others.
Every year, she soothes these creatures that are regarded as unknown by others, if they can see the night sky.
"It's true that someone called her a crazy girl." Ron said slightly bitterly, perhaps in revenge for what he had just said.
"There is obviously nothing there," he said loudly, and then exchanged a few glances with them, hoping to get approval.
"Nothing can be seen, maybe it represents real happiness." Luna walked up to them, said such a sentence softly, smiled faintly, and stepped on some moldy carriages with wooden doors
"Look, the gods are babbling, saying something incomprehensible." Ron pointed to the carriage Luna boarded, and said displeasedly.
Hermione turned her head, staring at the empty space in front of the carriage in a daze, thoughtfully, as if there really was something there.
"Don't dawdle, let's go, I don't want to be late." Ron urged Hermione.
The carriages lined up, creaking and swaying along the road. They passed the tall stone pillars on either side of the gate leading to the school grounds, on top of which were wild boars with wings.
Hogwarts Castle is faintly getting closer: the towering towers appear darker against the dark night sky, and occasionally a window can be seen shining a bright red light above their heads.
The carriage stopped by the stone steps leading to the oak gate, and the senior students got out of the carriage one after another and walked into the castle.
The auditorium is full of four long college dining tables with starless black ceilings, exactly the same as the sky outside they saw through the high windows. There were candles floating above the dining table, illuminating the few silver-white ghosts dotted in the auditorium, and illuminating the excited faces of the students. They were talking happily, exchanging news about the summer vacation, greeted loudly with friends from other colleges, and looked at each other's new hairstyles and new clothes.
Almost all students were not affected by Voldemort's resurrection.
A few seconds later, the door to the hall opened, and a long line of first-year freshmen who looked frightened were led into the auditorium by Professor McGonagall.
Excitement and horror are intertwined on their faces.
Professor McGonagall is holding a stool in his hand, on which is an old wizard hat, with patches of patches on the hat, and there is a wide gap beside the frayed brim of the hat.
Maybe it's been too long, this hat is tattered.
The whole school's teachers and students waited with their breath. Then, the crack beside the brim of the hat opened like a mouth, and the sorting hat sang loudly: A long time ago I was still wearing a new hat...
The Sorting Hat started to sing, but changed to a new song that was different from the previous year...
Probably expounded the past and current situation of the four colleges, revisiting the past, and then changed some lyrics, and gave birth to a new song.
The most significant change is the warning.
"...We must unite closely within us, otherwise everything will fall apart from the inside. I have told you bluntly, I have sounded the alarm for you? Now let us start the sorting."
The singing continued for a while, and it was over.
The buzzing conversation in the auditorium gradually subsided. Freshmen in the first grade line up in a row at the faculty desk, facing classmates from other grades. Professor McGonagall carefully placed the stool in front of them, and then stepped back. The face of the first-year freshman shone pale in the candlelight.
One by one, students stepped forward ~IndoMTL.com~ and stepped down again, accepting the distribution of the Sorting Hat.
They held their breath and put on their hats, as if undergoing a trial.
The branching house also ended very quickly.
Dumbledore was sitting on the golden high-back chair in the middle of the long staff desk, wearing a dark purple robe covered with silver stars and a matching hat. Dumbledore tilted his head to the woman sitting next to him, who was speaking into his ear.
This woman is short and chubby, with short curly gray-brown hair and a very ugly pink bow on it, which is in contrast to the fluffy pink that she covers on the outside of her robe. The cardigan matches very well.
At this moment, she turned her face slightly, took a sip from the goblet, revealing a pale, toad-like face and a pair of eyes with droopy eyelids and protruding eyeballs, and she scanned the surrounding students .
"I hope we have a good cooperation, Principal Dumbledore." Dolores Umbridge put down the wine glass at this time, with an ugly smile on his face, and pointed at Deng with a piercing voice. Blido said.
