Chapter 14 Arrival
·
He Dian Bai Kai Shui
It was getting dark, and the mountains and woods under the deep purple sky were covered with a dark veil.
"We will arrive at Hogwarts in 5 minutes. Please leave your luggage in the car and we will take you to school." A voice echoed several times in the train corridor.
"Gentlemen, I'm going to change clothes. Please go out for a moment." Hermione closed the book, stood up, clapped her hands and said.
Soul and Neville walked to the door obediently. Soul pulled the door closed thoughtfully and checked to see if there were any gaps.
Well, the result is that even though the Hogwarts Express looks old, its workmanship is very strong, and the carriage doors fit perfectly into the grooves.
Coincidentally, diagonally across from Soul and the others, two carriages apart, were the Malfoy trio. It seemed that they had also been kicked out of the carriage.
The two groups of people just looked at each other.
"I just went to their carriage to ask if they had seen Leif..." Neville said softly to Soul, "They kicked him out."
oh?Soul narrowed his eyes.
As soon as Malfoy saw Soul, he shrank back and hid, but thinking that he was going to Hogwarts soon, he felt emboldened again, and he puffed up his chest and stared at Soul.
In China, this would probably be--
Malfoy: What are you tweeting? What are you tweeting?
Suer: What are you doing?
"Mr. Malfoy, it seems you are still a little unconvinced?" Sol took the initiative and smiled.
Malfoy was stunned. Does this person know me?It's easier if you know me. Who doesn't know that my father is the governor of Hogwarts?
"It's just a matter of taking advantage of others' unpreparedness. Come to Hogwarts and have a duel with me." Malfoy sneered. "But Mu... I'm afraid you've never heard of a wizard's duel, right?"
Several other people who were also driven out of the carriage pricked up their ears and smelled of gunpowder.
"I don't think so, Mr. Malfoy." Soul slowly pulled out his wand, "I don't have time to play house games with you after we get to school."
"Here, pull out your wand, Mr. Malfoy."
Oh, there's going to be a fight!The onlookers looked like they were watching a good show.
Malfoy stiffened for a moment, but Soul was pressing forward. Wasn't he a bit cowardly if he didn't draw his wand?
The only heir to the Draco family, my father always said that Draco's honor must be protected by me.
Malfoy took out his wand. After all, he was a pure-blood and was destined to enter Slytherin and leave a mark in the history of Hogwarts.
"Then let's try it," he said.
"I admire your courage, Mr. Malfoy." Soul flicked his wrist, played a wand, whispered a spell, and a little red light burst out from the tip of the wand.
It's just that he deliberately veered a little bit. After all, he was almost at Hogwarts, so he couldn't make a bloody mess or it would affect the sorting.
"Oh..." the onlookers exclaimed.
Malfoy felt the magic that passed by his ear and shot straight towards the car wall, and his face became even stiffer. He wanted to retaliate with a magic, but he had never practiced any decent magic at home. Most of them were playful evil spirits. Curse doesn't pose much of a threat.
"What are you doing!" A tall and thin young man with a bright red coat of arms on his chest rushed over and shouted loudly.
"We'll be arriving at Hogwarts soon. Don't make trouble." He said seriously.
His striking red hair defined his identity.
"Nothing." Soul put the wand back, "I was just playing a little game with Mr. Malfoy."
"Isn't that right, Mr. Malfoy?"
"Hmph." Malfoy snorted with a stiff face and put the wand back into its sheath.
"It's best like this." The tall and thin young man looked at the two of them suspiciously, "If you don't hurry back to the carriage and change clothes, the train is already slowing down!"
"Kara." The carriage door behind Sur was opened, and Hermione, wearing a fitted wizard robe, held her fluffy hair and tilted her head, "Why is it so noisy? What happened."
"Nothing." Soul smiled, "Neville, it's time for us to change clothes."
Malfoy outside the carriage turned around at the same time, and what no one noticed was that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kra", this time it was Malfoy opening the car door.
Then there was a burst of female screams and crackling sounds, accompanied by Malfoy's cry of pain, which echoed for a long time.
Boys change clothes much faster than girls. Soul and Neville just took off their coats and put on wizard robes.
As they stuffed their changed clothes back into their suitcases.
The train also slowly stopped. From the window, you could vaguely see a dark platform and a dim, floating light diagonally ahead.
The students were pushing and shoving and crowding out the door.
When the three of them got out of the car, they saw that the lamp was being held by a tall man with a thick beard.
"Freshmen, come here." He shouted at the top of his voice, "Harry, how are you?"
There is only one person in the entire Hogwarts with such a strong figure, and that is the guardian of the Forbidden Forest - the half-blood giant Hagrid.
You can get to know him if you have the chance. After all, Hagrid is definitely at the top of the Hogwarts wealth list.
Suer noticed that some people separated from the freshmen after they got off the bus and went in another direction. A faint sound of horses neighing could be heard from that direction.
"First-year students, come on, follow me. Watch your step." Hagrid said in a loud voice.
The light began to waddle forward.
People followed Hagrid as they slid along a steep and narrow path. Hermione and Neville held on to the left and right of Soul's clothes the whole time, fearing that they would accidentally step on the wrong foot and fall into the darkness next to the path. .
"You can see Hogwarts when you turn this corner." Hagrid shouted from the front, "Watch your steps, there is a drop here."
Then, the people in front who were the first to turn let out a loud "Oh!"
After the narrow path turned a corner, a black lake suddenly opened up. On the other side of the lake stood a towering castle on a high cliff. The towering spiers were hidden in the darkness, and the windows flashed with charming yellow lights.
"So beautiful." Hermione's eyes reflected a little starlight.
It is indeed beautiful, no matter how many years later, this scene will always be engraved in the depths of my memory.
"Four people per boat! No more!" Hagrid pointed to a simple dock built with a few pieces of wood not far away, where dozens of black boats were crowded and parked.
Soul, Hermione and Neville boarded a boat as a matter of course, along with an unknown fat brown-haired girl.
"Is your toad still there?" Soul asked kindly after he glanced at Neville's head after getting on the boat.
"Here he is." Neville patted his pocket and said with a smile, but he soon stopped laughing. "Huh? Where's my Leif?"
Hermione patted Neville's arm and pointed to the top of his head.
Well, Neville's toad seems to like staying above his head.
Hagrid was sitting alone in a boat, leading the boats across the calm water of the Black Lake.
Hermione looked around curiously, her question coming again.
"How does it move when no one is rowing it?"
"Don't ask. Asking is magic. There are so many questions, miss!" Sol patted Hermione's head. Didn't you see that everyone was quiet?
Hermione smacked Soul's hand away with her mouth bulging, and glared at Soul secretly.
Everyone looked at the towering castle in silence. When the ship cut through the sparkling water of the black lake and arrived at the foot of the cliff where the castle was located, the castle seemed to be floating above their heads.
"Lower your head!" Hagrid said from the front.
The boat carried the little wizards who lowered their heads through an ivy tent covering the front of the cliff, and stopped at a place similar to an underground dock.
After Hagrid dutifully checked the number of people, he led them up a tunnel in the rock, and finally arrived on a wet grassland in the shadow of the castle.
Finally, they stopped in front of a huge oak door, with a faint light coming from the gap.
Hogwarts Castle, here it is!
"We will arrive at Hogwarts in 5 minutes. Please leave your luggage in the car and we will take you to school." A voice echoed several times in the train corridor.
