Chapter 27 Crossing the Lake

A few hours later, darkness fell, and it was pitch black outside the car window. Even Ron and Hermione, who were usually very lively, began to become quiet.

Chu Yang also closed the books at this time, began to pack his luggage, and put the books he took out back in order.

He has long been accustomed to the experience of taking the train to go to school in other places. He is very familiar with it. Moreover, it is a special train, so he does not have to worry about missing the station. There is nothing to be nervous about.

Accompanied by the sound of the whistle, the train slowly pulled into a simple station. It was small and the facilities looked a bit old, but they were very clean.

The green plants and street lights on both sides of the railway line make the station warm and lovely, which relieves some of the nervousness of the new students.

Under the illumination of the street lights, Chu Yang saw the giant Hagrid walking towards them from the car window.

The dark night made him even more burly!

The giant, who was almost as tall as the train, also held a lamp in his hand, loudly reminding the freshmen to get off at the station, "First-year freshmen, come to me, hurry up, don't be shy, today's party is I sent you!"

Hearing this, the freshmen got out of the car immediately and left all their luggage in the car. Someone would help them take them to school.

Harry and Ron got off the train, immediately walked up to Hagrid, said hello to him, and then followed closely behind each other. Chu Yang was a few steps behind, hidden in the crowd.

Meeting Harry Potter was by chance.

Chu Yang had no intention of continuing this accidental fate.

He did not want to participate in the confrontation between the protagonist group and Voldemort, because it was a troublesome matter, a waste of time, and would not gain any benefits.

Let me ask, who in reality would rush to do such a thankless thing?

With this kind of effort, Chu Yang might as well find a place to study magic in peace and quiet.

Anyway, at the end of the story, Harry Potter, as the protagonist, will definitely defeat Voldemort, and it doesn't mean much whether Chu Yang helps or not.

He must seize the time to improve his abilities so that he can help other "selves" the next time he enters the Soul Palace.

After all, one time is enough for free prostitution. Any more would be a bit rude.

Just when Chu Yang thought he would drift away from them, a little tail followed behind him.

"Chu Yang, can you tell me what grade content you have learned on your own?" Hermione looked at Chu Yang like a little squirrel with her big round eyes.

There were crowds of people around, and in order to avoid getting separated, Hermione grabbed Chu Yang's sleeve with one hand.

Chu Yang was quite helpless.

Hermione's self-esteem is really strong. In the past, she was always the first to show off the knowledge she learned to others at home.

But this time, in terms of knowledge, Chu Yang completely crushed her.

With her character, she would not just die out.

Chu Yang lied calmly, "Actually, I haven't read as many books as you think. Except for the first-grade textbooks, the others are all books about defense against dark arts."

"You just knew about my family situation. Even if I want to read, I can't afford extra books. Even the tuition is paid for by Hogwarts."

After mentioning the issue of family background, Hermione no longer continued to ask questions. Instead, she comforted Chu Yang and said, "Chu Yang, you don't have to worry about books. Professor McGonagall told me that the Hogwarts library has very rich resources." The collection of books is huge and you can borrow a lot of books there.”

Chu Yang smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Miss Granger."

Hermione waved her hand and responded with the same smile: "Don't be so polite, just call me Hermione."

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the team had already reached the lake. Hagrid, who was standing on the shore, kept waving his arms and beckoning the students to take the boat.

"There are a maximum of 3 to 4 people in each boat. Keep an eye on yourself. If you are heavier, choose a boat with fewer people!"

The freshmen started to take the boat, but the waves rocked the boat from side to side. It was really difficult for a group of 11-year-old children to get on board.

Hermione looked at the swaying boat and hesitated for a moment. Until Chu Yang pressed the bow of the boat, the boat seemed to be nailed to the sea.

"Wow, you are so strong!" Hermione looked at Chu Yang in surprise, then tentatively put her feet into the boat, placed her hands on the hull, and carefully turned it over.

There was also a relatively large boy standing awkwardly on the shore. It seemed that the others did not welcome him very much and thought he was taking up space.

The boy smiled awkwardly at Chu Yang.

"Come on, the three of us are just right." Chu Yang tilted his head and motioned for the boy to get on the boat, and the latter sat in with relief.

After Chu Yang was the last one to get on the boat, the boat moved without any force. It was obvious that a spell had been cast in advance.

"Hello, my name is Hermione Granger." Hermione introduced herself to the dull boy generously.

"Hello... hello, my name is... Neville Longbottom." The fat, white boy named Neville was so nervous that he began to stutter.

The boat was getting further and further away from the shore, and the surrounding light was getting worse and worse.

The dark lake was so quiet that it made people hair-raising, and silent fear rippled like water waves.

The lantern in Hagrid's hand alone could not dispel the fear of a group of 11-year-old children.

Because of fear, Hermione stayed close to Chu Yang and held on to his robe.

Out of good intentions, Chu Yang had to remind him: "If you hold me like this, if I fall into the lake, you will be dragged into the water by me."

Hermione shook her head decisively and said: "You are so smart, the chance of falling into the water is very small, so I'd better hold you for safety."

Chu Yang: "..."

A small boat floating nearby was filled with complaints, "I really don't understand why we can't take a carriage like those senior students, but have to take a boat across the lake. What if something unexpected happens?"

Hagrid, who was at the front, heard the complaints and turned back helplessly, "Don't worry, taking a boat is very safe. In all these years at Hogwarts, no student has died while taking a boat."

Hagrid's explanation was not understood by the children, but the complaints increased.

Hermione, who was still very scared just now, immediately became energetic and explained in a loud voice, "Taking a boat across the lake is a tradition for freshmen at Hogwarts. This is to imitate the scene when the four great wizards who founded the school first arrived here."

"The purpose of doing this is to remind the younger generation not to forget their original aspirations and remember the hardships under which the current Hogwarts was established."

With Hermione's explanation, the freshmen's complaints stopped abruptly, and the blood of the middle school student in their bodies burned fiercely!
