"Follow me first graders! Don't fall behind! We're about to turn the corner!"
Hagrid shouted, shaking the lantern in his hand at the same time.He was the school's keykeeper and gamekeeper, and also served as a freshman pick-up.
As for the reason why Headmaster Dumbledore made such an arrangement, besides the headmaster having enough trust in him, it was also because his height of [-] feet was enough to frighten these little bean dings.
But this year's pick-up task is a bit special, the boy he likes very much, and the boy who is well-known in the wizarding world of England at the same time-Harry Potter will also enter the school.
"Harry! Be careful, the road here is more difficult, but bear with it, we will soon reach the lake, where we have to take a boat!"
From time to time, Hagrid's eyes would turn away from the front and focus on the little boy who was stumbling at his side.
At this time, a thick and powerful male voice sounded, "Excuse me, big man! Are you from Hogwarts too?"
Hagrid looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a figure flitting in front of the moon and falling lightly in front of him.
"Wizard? Stop!" Hagrid immediately became vigilant, because the man in front of him made him instinctively aware of the danger.
Hagrid moved the lantern in front of the man, his other hand clenched into a fist, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"This is a very unfriendly behavior. My name is Konno, and I am a martial arts professor invited by Dumbledore." The man patted his joints lightly while talking.
That palm seemed to have little strength, but suddenly he couldn't use any strength in his arm, and he couldn't even hold the lantern.
"It seems that for such a big man, the acupuncture points are similar to those of ordinary people." The man in front of him caught the lantern and patted his joints at the same time.
Hagrid felt his strength recover, and was surprised to hear the man say, "Are you the new professor of martial arts? Professor Kong? I heard Principal Dumbledore mention you."
In fact, it wasn't just Principal Dumbledore who mentioned Connor. When he took Harry to Diagon Alley, he was already familiar with this strange wizard named Connor.
Whether it's Partridge's cauldron shop, Quidditch boutique, or the world's best Ollivander wand shop, the name Konno can be seen more or less.
The name appeared on the first page of an order at Partridge's Crucible, where the Quidditch boutique was packing an extremely slender broomstick, also addressed to Konno.
What surprised Hagrid the most was the conscientious wand maker. No matter which guest he was facing, Ollivander never let go of the design in his hand.
Taking advantage of his height, Hagrid also saw the name Kong Nuo when he peeked at the signature on the blueprint.
Even old Tom in the Leaky Cauldron, in his musings, would mention a wizard named Konno.
If he hadn't subscribed to the "Daily Prophet", he would have thought that this wizard named Kong Nuo was very famous.
Connor waved the lantern in front of Hagrid who was distracted, "Big man! Big man! What's your name?"
"Oh..." Hagrid took the big lantern, "Professor Kong, good evening, my name is Rupert Hagrid, why are you here?"
Kong Nuo touched his nose, thinking whether to tell the story of his getting lost.
After thinking twice, he put on the indifferent expression of an outsider who had shown in front of Newt and Dumbledore, "I want to see what the future of the wizarding world looks like."
"Then let's go together!" Hagrid nodded, "This road is not easy to walk, you have to be careful."
The freshman team set off again, still led by Hagrid, but this time there was an unexpected guest.
"Hagrid, I have a question." Connor pulled up a little boy who almost fell, "Why do freshmen go this way? These young children only have a lamp in your hand."
"Haven't you considered, what should you do if these children bump into each other and change from smart children to stupid children?"
Hagrid himself almost tripped with his front foot touching his back foot, "Uh...Professor Kong, I don't really understand what you mean."
Connor reached out and grabbed the collar of a little girl who slipped downhill, and lifted her up, "I heard from Newt that this is the only magic school in England, and it's also the best magic school in the world. .”
"Is your infrastructure like this? For example, this road, in fact, wizards can use magic to build it better, and if they can't pave it, it's not so dangerous."
"Look at how many students I have caught who are about to fall since just now? Even if the road is not paved, at least some street lights are needed? This way at least you can see clearly."
Hagrid smiled dryly, his laughter was like a muffled thunder, "Haha...that...Professor Kong, I will report these situations to the headmaster...hahaha...I made you laugh..."
"Ahem!" The little girl in Kong Nuo's hand coughed, "Hello, Professor Kong! Actually, there is a reason for this."
"According to what I read in "Hogwarts: A School History", this is deliberately set up in order to retrace the path of the four school founders discovering the castle."
"I see." Kong Nuo nodded, "You're an interesting little girl, what's your name?"
The little girl raised her voice slightly by two degrees, as if a little excited, "Hello, Professor Kong! My name is Hermione, Hermione Granger!"
"Okay, I remember you." Kong Nuo smiled, "But I think it's even more necessary to install street lights, otherwise how can I see exactly how this road is taken? This is meaningful."
"It turns out that this castle was discovered. Hermione, in that school history, did it mention who the original owner of the castle was?"
This question not only silenced Hagrid, but also the little girl named Hermione.
But the silence didn't last long, and they finally walked down the hill and stepped on a relatively gentle dirt road.
This dirt road was a bit colder than the downhill side, and after not walking far, Kong Nuo saw a lake at the end of the dirt road, and there were many small boats on the lake.
Of course, the most astonishing thing was not the small boats swimming towards them, but the huge towering castle on the other side of the lake.
All the small windows on the castle glowed with warm firelight. Against the backdrop of the gorgeous starry sky, even though the night temporarily obscured the original appearance of the castle, there was still a different kind of blurred and magical feeling.
Hagrid raised his arms high, turned around and shouted to the little bean dings following him: "Okay, now we can rest for a while! Get ready to board the ship!"
Hagrid shouted, shaking the lantern in his hand at the same time.He was the school's keykeeper and gamekeeper, and also served as a freshman pick-up.
