Chapter 17
The young wizards came out of the carriage in a bustling crowd.
Excitement and nervousness intertwined.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville and Deveraux also squeezed out of the train with the crowd.
Deveraux directly loaded the entries of each young wizard.
He even saw a few purple magic talent entries.
Add to cart immediately!
Cool!
This is why he came to Hogwarts!
Night has fallen.
The Hogwarts Express stopped at a remote station.
It was pitch black all around.
Only the street lamps in the distance emitted a faint light.
"Wait!"
Neville suddenly exclaimed.
He suddenly remembered that his luggage was still in the carriage.
He turned around in a hurry.
He wanted to go back to get it.
Deveraux quickly stopped him.
Comforted.
"Don't worry, Neville, the school will help us send our luggage to the dormitory. You don't have to worry."
Neville hesitated.
But seeing that everyone had already gotten off the bus.
He nodded.
Following Deveraux.
They passed through the crowded crowd.
And arrived at the platform.
Many first-year students had gathered here.
Everyone was looking around.
Looking for the next direction.
"First-year students, please come this way!"
A deep and powerful voice came.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
Only a tall and burly figure was standing not far away.
Holding a bright lamp in his hand.
Rubeau Hagrid.
The key keeper and gamekeeper of Hogwarts.
"Come on, follow me."
Hagrid said loudly.
His voice echoed in the night sky.
The little wizards followed him one after another.
Walked along a winding path to the lake.
Many small boats were floating on the lake.
A small lantern was lit on each boat.
It illuminated the road ahead.
"Four people per boat!"
Hagrid commanded.
"Be careful! Some little guys in the lake don't like people disturbing them at this time!"
Deveraux asked Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville to jump on a small boat quickly.
He and several other classmates got on another boat.
The boat slowly sailed away from the shore.
Heading towards Hogwarts Castle.
The lake was sparkling.
It reflected the stars in the sky.
The whole scene was like a fairyland.
"Wow, is this Hogwarts?"
A little girl in the same boat with Deveraux exclaimed.
She looked very cute.
Especially her big eyes.
They were blinking.
She looked like a South Asian.
Her eyes were sparkling with curiosity and excitement as she looked at the castle.
The little boy sitting next to Deveraux held the side of the boat tightly.
He was afraid of falling into the lake.
Another boy curiously put his hand into the cold lake water.
The splashing sound made him feel very comfortable.
He laughed excitedly.
He seemed to have completely forgotten everything around him.
The girl next to him said worriedly.
"Zacharys, this is too dangerous! Don't do it!"
But the boy kept splashing the water with his hands.
Turned back and said.
"Hehehe, you are all cowards, what's there to be afraid of? I think you can only be sorted into Hufflepuff!"
His smile was very annoying.
He mocked everyone in the boat equally.
Deveraux didn't care at all.
It was just a trick of the children to attract attention.
Instead, he turned around to comfort another boy who looked nervous.
"My name is Deveraux, don't worry, we will be there in a while."
Someone spoke.
The very nervous little boy relaxed a little.
Forced a smile.
"Thank you, my name is Stebbins."
Deverot smiled and nodded.
But he was muttering in his heart.
This kid seems to have no sense of existence?
He doesn't even remember that there is such a person.
"Wow!"
Suddenly.
The little boy playing in the water screamed.
He waved his hands wildly.
He fell to the bottom of the boat.
He saw a little mermaid curled on his finger.
It had the same appearance as Thumbelina.
But the lower body was a fish tail.
After the little mermaid was discovered.
It was obviously very dissatisfied.
It sprayed a stream of water at the boy's face.
The boy continued to scream.
The sound echoed in the night sky.
It alarmed other little wizards around.
Deverot was quick-witted.
He immediately stepped forward and put the boy's hand back into the black lake.
The mermaid saw this.
Quickly left his finger.
Swimmed back to the bottomless lake.
Devereux comforted the frightened children.
He said seriously.
"This is the Scottish loch monster, a magicalCreatures. When they grow up, they can grow to be as big as humans, and there are many of them here. "
He had seen this kind of creature in the books he had read before.
So he knew how to deal with them.
Deverot continued to explain.
"These little guys usually don't hurt people, they just like to play pranks. As long as you don't provoke them, they won't attack you actively."
The little boy slowly climbed up from the bottom of the boat.
There was still a look of fear on his face.
But he was no longer screaming.
He rubbed his eyes that were sprayed by the water arrow.
A little embarrassed.
"Thank you, my name is Zacharias Smith."
The little boy said a little stiffly.
"Deverot Alexander. "
Deveraux responded with a smile.
Thinking in his heart.
Oh.
It turned out to be this guy.
The guy who always contradicted Hermione in the Order of the Phoenix.
Not a good guy.
Blacklist!
The other little wizards gradually calmed down.
They looked at Deveraux curiously.
As if he was an expert who knew everything.
"Deveraux, you are really knowledgeable."
The girl exclaimed.
"My name is Padma. Where did you learn so much about magical creatures?"
The little girl is very cute.
Not worse than Hermione.
Deveraux smiled and replied.
"I bought a lot of books in Diagon Alley, and some were brought from home. I have always been interested in these things. "
Said.
He began to talk to the children about the knowledge he had learned from the book before.
Soon, several children were watching him teach with great admiration.
Except Zacharias.
He seemed a little unhappy with Deveraux.
Even though he helped him.
Deveraux didn't care about his attitude at all.
Wait until the boat docked.
The little wizards walked through the boathouse.
Follow Hagrid through the long cliff stairs.
Finally.
Everyone officially entered the Hogwarts Castle - the entrance hall!
They looked up.
The scene in front of them made them hold their breath.
Hogwarts Castle stood majestically on the top of the mountain.
Like a huge, ancient fortress.
Guarding this sacred land Mysterious land.
The outline of the castle is particularly clear in the night.
Countless towers and spires pierce the sky.
Like rows of sharp spears.
The outer wall of the castle is made of heavy stones.
After hundreds of years of wind and rain erosion.
Still as solid as ever.
The wall is covered with green ivy.
There are a few dim lights hanging in some places.
It emits a warm and mysterious light.
Huge windows are embedded in the wall.
There are little lights from inside.
It seems that countless pairs of eyes are watching these new little wizards.
The gates in front of them are two heavy oak doors.
There are complex magic runes and patterns carved on them.
In front of the door, there stands an old but elegant lady who has been waiting for a long time.
