Chapter 151
Chapter 151
Thousands of years ago, four great wizards - Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff - did just that, walking through lush The tall dense forest, riding a similar boat, passing through the quiet and deep lake, came to this land that appeared in Ravenclaw's dream.
The little wizards sat on the boat, feeling the moist breeze blowing from the lake, and the moist smell of trees and grass leaves lingering around their noses.
The weather is fine today, so it is rare for the stars to shine and the moonlight to be gentle on the dark sky at night.
Little by little, the starlight falls on the surface of the lake, and with the rippling of the water, it becomes strips of sparkling light.
"Look down!" Ogg shouted at the little wizard.
When the little wizards heard the voice, before they had time to think, they subconsciously followed the instructions and lowered their heads.
The little wizards narrowly avoided a huge tree trunk stretching across the water.
Afterwards, the little wizards all stared at the tree trunk for a long time, letting the tree trunk get smaller and smaller in their sight.
"call--"
The little wizards who were still in shock let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's scary."
The little wizards began to express their emotions.
"Did the founders also need to bow their heads and avoid it? If they hit it..." The words are still unfinished, but everyone knows what he didn't say.
Faced with this little wizard's "rebellious" thoughts, some little wizards boldly guessed: "If we hit each other, the founders would not be the current four!"
"Is there a possibility that there was no tree trunk at the beginning? Or the founders were on a boat during the day and saw an obstacle ahead from a distance?"
A small accident midway sparked heated discussions among the young wizards.
While the little wizards were engrossed in the discussion, the boats unknowingly approached their destination—the pier of the Black Lake.
"Bam—"
There was a dull collision sound, and the little wizards on the front boat swayed a few times due to the vibration of the hull and the unstable center of gravity of their bodies.
"One by one, get off the boat slowly—" Ogg's voice sounded at the right time, "Don't squeeze—take your time! Be careful!"
One by one, the little wizards stood on the solid and heavy ground again.
"Follow me closely! We are going into the castle!" Ogg's words were like sparks, completely igniting the enthusiasm of the little wizards.
Ogg led the little wizards all the way up the long, winding stairs, through a door, and into a room.
A middle-aged man in a wizard robe that stretched to the floor waited in the room.
"Professor Dumbledore, all the freshmen are here." Ogg took off his hat, held it in front of his chest, and reported to the red-haired and blue-eyed wizard at the end of the stairs with some respect.
"Thank you, Ogg." Professor Dumbledore's smile made people feel refreshed, "Go and rest for a while, the sorting ceremony will begin soon."
Obviously what you are doing is your own job, but it will still make people happy to be recognized and praised.
A flush of excitement crept up on Ogg's not-white cheeks, and his voice was also stuttering because of the excitement: "Okay, okay."
With Ogg gone, Professor Dumbledore focused all his attention on the little wizard.
His gentle yet sharp lake blue eyes swept across the little wizard, full of tolerance.
According to the usual practice, he started the annual lecture——
"Welcome to Hogwarts." Professor Dumbledore said, opening his arms, as if to welcome the little wizards by embracing them. The naughty little star with a soft halo—the little star's appearance is not realistic, but a goose-yellow five-pointed star like in a Muggle fairy tale picture book, chubby.
The eyes of the little wizards were completely attracted by the chubby little stars, especially those who were Muggle-born and had never been exposed to magic before. They stared in amazement.
"The start-of-term dinner is about to begin, but before you go to the restaurant, you first need to confirm which college each of you will enter." Professor Dumbledore lowered his arms, and naturally held a roll of sheepskin with both hands The paper hangs in front of him. "You will conduct a sorting ceremony before you officially enter the seat. After confirming the college, you will sit at the long table of your respective college."
With Professor Dumbledore's arms lowered, the little star was covered.
Just when the little wizards felt a little lost, a light yellow soft warm light suddenly appeared from the folds of Professor Dumbledore's robe, followed by a chubby, not sharp, rounded point.
It seemed to stretch out a jiojio to test it, and after finding that there was no danger, it slowly moved all of itself out.
The little wizards looked at Xiao Xingxing's cute movements with good eyesight, and the Ah Wei in their hearts died repeatedly.
And Professor Dumbledore seemed to be unaware of the "desert" behavior of the little wizards, and continued to say the words that come every year with emotion: "Sorting is a very important ceremony, because during your school days , the house is like your home at Hogwarts - you will attend classes with other students in the house, live in the house dormitory together, and spend your spare time together in the house common room."
"The names of the four colleges are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin." Professor Dumbledore deliberately introduced the names of the four colleges in a drawn-out tone, trying to make Xiao The wizards heard better.
On the steps, Professor Dumbledore was lecturing.
Under the steps, Abu leaned over to Tom and whispered.
"He's the head of Gryffindor." Abu curled his lips to express that he was not in a very happy mood, "My dad said he was a Gryffindor who didn't look like Gryffindor."
"I heard that Professor Afu personally recruited him into Hogwarts." Abu asked, "Tom, do you know him?"
Tom has never said in front of Abu and the others before that Afu sometimes takes him to Dumbledore in Godric's Hollow as a guest, and Dumbledore sometimes often comes to Slytherin Manor.
But it's just...
When he was taken to Godric's Hollow, he always felt uncomfortable all over his body.
And Dumbledore came and went in a hurry when they came to Slytherin Manor, every time they refused Afu's sister's retention and were unwilling to stay longer.
"I've seen him." Tom was vague and didn't tell Abu everything.
"Oh." After getting a reply, Abu nodded.
