Chapter 27 Hi!Hogwarts!
McGuffin followed Percy through the noisy crowd, out of the cafeteria with the other first years.
Soon the new Slytherins and Hufflepuffs descended into the basement of the castle, while the rest ascended the marble staircase.
Soon...
"Ravenclaw this way."
Only the Gryffindor students were left to follow the prefect through various magically concealed diameter paths, and through various changing and twisting stairs between floors.
The corridors are hung with various portraits of people whispering to each other.
A lady dressed in medieval aristocratic costumes greeted the new students with ancient etiquette. There was a strange knight in armor riding a pony, provoking everyone and saying outrageous words that made people laugh.
"Hello!"
"Welcome to Hogwarts!"
As the MacGuffin passed by, polite greetings came from the portraits.
The maze of stairs at Hogwarts is a disaster for freshmen who have just arrived here.
"I really don't understand why the school has so many movable stairs, or scary things." Thomas Dean, who was already dizzy, kept complaining. He had just been startled by a movable armor.
"It is said that the defensive facilities here were once set up to fight against the enemies of Hogwarts." Hermione kept telling Parvati and the others, who were also little witches, everything they encountered on the road.
McGuffin found that the things here were far more wonderful than his impressions or imaginations. There were moving objects or various 'surprises' everywhere. He would not be surprised if his socks ran around on the ground in the morning that day.
Finally, after meeting Peeves, a group of people came to the eighth floor, walked through a long stone corridor, and reached the end.
A portrait of a rich and richly dressed woman hung on the wall, and it was undoubtedly that of the Fat Lady, the gatekeeper of the Gryffindor common room.
"Password," she said.
"Dragon scum," said Percy.
The portrait moves away to reveal the circular opening.
After a group of people entered, they found that they had come to the Gryffindor lounge.
Some students were already sitting in twos and threes, chatting, and some of them greeted Percy.
The entire space is larger than the impression described, almost like a medium-sized movie theater, which can accommodate more than 100 people.
Here is a circular room with various armchairs, red old-fashioned sofas, black wooden chairs, and some small round-top tables beside them, which are automatically filled with tea of various colors from time to time.
The surrounding walls are also covered with portraits of various characters, saying hello to Gryffindor's new students, and velvet red-purple curtains slide down beside the long glass windows on the top.
An ornate crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, illuminated not by candles, nor by Muggle electric lights.Instead, on the brass track of the complex ring, there are a kind of rolling beads and crystal light balls, about a hundred of them, the size of a fist.From time to time, it floats on the chandelier, slides down to change positions, or slowly changes its own color.They emit stable and soft light like flames together, making the whole lounge warm and magical.
Most of the two or three large long tables were filled with wizard chess pieces and some unrecognizable magic gadgets, and most of the students studying hard were senior students who looked older.
They were frowning, and their index fingers were covered with ink marks. Generally, these senior students were surrounded by long scrolls and ancient magic books that almost covered their bodies.
An old desk lamp similar to the seven 80s Muggle style is responsible for providing them with bright light-emerald green lampshade, brass cylinder, and disc-shaped copper plate base.
But what emits light is not the incandescent lamp in the Muggle world, but a thin brass chain hanging from the inside of the lampshade and connected to the crystal ball floating in mid-air to keep it in place.
As long as the student waved his wand in front of him, the desk lamp would make a 'pop' sound and emit soft light.
There is a fire burning in the innermost part of the lounge near the entrance of the spiral staircase, and the wood is neatly placed beside it.
I don't know what kind of tree it is, but the fire burns and emits a faint fragrance, which can calm people down and concentrate.
The wall not far from the fire is filled with various cabinets, with all kinds of weird decorations, or some kind of magic items, and some books, but it seems that no one is watching.
From a counter with a vase on it, McGuffin saw some books, which mainly introduced the history of Gryffindor, the biographies of its main famous figures, or most commonly, various handwritten adventure diaries.
Can it only be said that it is worthy of Gryffindor?
Percy guided the girls through a door to their bedroom, where a prefect was already waiting for the little witch.
Then he led the boys into another door. They were obviously in a tower. Several people continued to advance along the spiral staircase. On the way, Percy led the people through door after door. When passing through some of them, he introduced the bathroom and toilet to everyone.
Finally, a few of them came to their own room. The first-year freshmen were all in the same room, and there were wooden signs with their names on the door.
There are six four-poster beds (with their names written on them) in the room, with red curtains hanging on them. They are distributed in the corners of the room, and each person's box is placed beside the bed.
Wait, isn't there only a maximum of five people in a room?
Harry and the other young wizards were already exhausted and didn't want to talk any more.
Percy finally added: "Tomorrow is Monday. You'd better get up early to explore Hogwarts. If possible, find a senior student to let you know the roads of each classroom, in case you can't find the classroom and you won't be late. Hogwarts castle is more amazing than you imagined—it's easy to get lost."
"Finally, welcome to Gryffindor, freshmen!"
After Percy left, several people assigned their respective bed positions, and McGuffin chose a remote and corner position, mainly farthest from Ron and Harry.
Damn, isn't there a dormitory with only five people in the plot?How did you add yourself to Harry's dormitory?
McGuffin had a slight doubt, but there were too many things happening this day, and he felt very tired, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Because——how could the campus life that he had planned to be cautious and prudent turn into like this!
The other little wizards in the room also put on their pajamas one by one, and soon fell asleep. The breathing of the little wizards came from the empty bedroom.
McGuffin never fell asleep, and his mind was full of thoughts about how he had fallen to this point. He leaned against the wall by the window, groped for the ugly figure in his hand, and looked at the scenery outside the castle.
——I really came to Hogwarts!
"Unfortunately, it's different from what I thought!"
"Pit!"
In the moonlight, the lake was shimmering, and the huge octopus was stretching its muscles and bones, and its tentacles were constantly hitting the water, and some even reached out to the sky.Owls, night riders, and unknown animals floated across the thin clouds in the night, flying over castles and tarot.
Seeing such a wizard, magic, and fantasy scene, his mood gradually improved a lot.
——No matter what it is, I finally came here, and it can be regarded as the realization of my childhood dream in my previous life.
Hi!Hogwarts!
"I am coming!"
McGuffin murmured, throbbing.Just looking at such an intoxicating scene until drowsiness came, I fell back on the bed in a daze and fell asleep.
——Hope you have a good night's sleep.
When McGuffin fell asleep, he didn't think that Dumbledore and Snape could not sleep because of him in another part of the castle - in the headmaster's office.
