Marvel’s Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 31 Entering Hogwarts Castle

……

“Turn this corner and you’ll see Hogwarts for the first time in no time.”

After about twenty minutes of walking, Jerry heard Hagrid, who was leading the way, turn around and warn them loudly.

Sure enough, when they reached the end of the path, after a turn, the dense woods that had blocked their sight on both sides disappeared.

What appeared in front of them was a huge black lake.

On the high hillside at the end of the lake, a towering medieval castle with a mysterious atmosphere stands there quietly.

Especially against the backdrop of the Black Lake, the castle looks extraordinarily huge, making all the little wizards, including Jerry, look in amazement.

When I watched a movie in my previous life, I felt that Hogwarts Castle was magnificent, but after all, it was only trapped in a small TV.

Just like the universe you see on TV, the planets you see are definitely different from what you actually see in the universe.

To put it more simple, looking at beauties on paper is completely different from looking at beauties in real life.

Now when Jerry stands by the Black Lake and witnesses the mysterious Hogwarts Castle, he really understands why Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is so famous in the wizarding world.

Presumably every wizard who has studied at Hogwarts cannot forget the shock of seeing Hogwarts Castle for the first time.

“No more than four people per boat!”

At this time, Hagrid pointed to a group of boats with their own magic lights moored by the lake, and told the little wizards that they needed to take these boats to cross the Black Lake to Hogwarts.

So, the little wizards began to team up and board the ship.

There are a lot of small boats, so it is not required that every boat is fully loaded. Many little wizards are two or three people together.

And Jerry, Hermione, and Neville naturally sat in the same boat.

“Set off!”

After all the little wizards had successfully formed a team, they followed Hagrid, who was sitting alone in the boat, with a light drink.

All the small boats carrying the little wizards, without any operation, quickly floated in the direction of Hogwarts Castle under the impetus of the waves of the Black Lake.

“It’s really a boat without paddling, it’s all about the waves!”

Looking at the boats that were lined up neatly and moving forward automatically, Jerry couldn’t help but secretly complained.

“Jerry, do you know why we take the boat to the castle?”

At this time, Hermione, who was sitting beside her, suddenly raised her chin and asked Jerry.

Apparently, Hermione’s character trait of “showing off” her knowledge was starting to flare up again.

If he is his peers, he may be bored by this, but as an adult, Jerry only thinks that someone gives him popular science knowledge for free. Isn’t this a big good thing!

“This…I really don’t know!”

Jerry replied truthfully.

He really didn’t know why the little wizards went to Hogwarts by boat, because that’s what he did when he watched the movie, but in a few later movies, it seemed to be replaced by a carriage.

However, at that time, all his attention in watching movies was on those magical magic, who would care about the problem of riding a carriage and a boat.

Seeing that Jerry was not clear, Hermione suddenly became energetic and began to explain to Jerry:

“I have seen in “A History of Hogwarts” that the first-year students sailing to the castle is actually an inheritance ceremony for the memory of the founder of the college!

You see, the boat has four positions, which symbolize the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the route we are moving forward is the route that the four founders took to find the location of Hogwarts Castle! ”

“It turned out to be like this, really learned to live to old age!”

After listening to Hermione’s explanation, Jerry found that it was really the case, but what surprised him even more was how many extracurricular books Hermione read in a month during the summer vacation?

It can only be said that she is indeed a lady who knows everything, very hard to match!

……

In this way, while listening to Hermione’s various popular science in her ears, she enjoyed the special scenery of Black Lake.

Jerry crossed the Black Lake in a small boat, passed through a dark tunnel under the cliff, gradually slowed down, and stopped by the underground pier of Hogwarts Castle.

“Okay, everyone follow me, we are about to reach the gate of the castle!”

Hagrid walked ahead with the magic lamp, and Jerry gathered behind him after waiting for the little wizards to get off the boat.

In this way, along a path paved with gravel and small cobblestones, they climbed up and down for half an hour, and they finally came to a flat and damp grass in the shadow of the castle.

And in front of them is a huge oak door, which is also the gate of Hogwarts Castle.

Hagrid stepped forward and knocked on the door three times. The door suddenly opened, and a tall black-haired witch in an emerald green robe appeared behind the door with a serious face.

It was the one that Jerry was familiar with, the dean of the Griffin Institute, Professor McGonagall.

“First-year freshman, Professor McGonagall.”

“Thank you, Hagrid~www.mtlnovel.com~ Leave it to me to pick you up when you get here.”

After Jerry heard the conversation between the two, Hagrid left first, and Professor McGonagall led them onwards.

Crossing the steps under the oak door, everyone entered the foyer on the first floor of the castle.

“really big!”

Jerry heard the sighs of Harry and Ron walking by, and nodded in agreement.

Although it is only a hallway, I don’t know if it has been enlarged by the Unmarked Stretching Charm. It looks very spacious, especially the roof. There is a strange illusion that the head can’t be seen at a glance.

The stone walls around the entrance hall were filled with flaming torches, which illuminated the entire entrance hall. There was a luxurious marble staircase directly opposite it, which should lead to the second floor.

From the door on the right side of the foyer, the buzzing voices of hundreds of people could be heard faintly. Jerry guessed that it should be the main hall on the first floor, and also the place where the sorting ceremony will take place in a while.

There was a hut on the left side of the foyer. At this time, Professor McGonagall was leading them to the hut by stepping on the bluestone slab on the floor of the foyer.

“Welcome to Hogwarts! The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, first…”

In the hut, Professor McGonagall first greeted the little wizards, and then began to give a general explanation of the sorting ceremony, the four major colleges, credits, college cups, etc. that will start soon.

However, she did not explain in detail what the sorting ceremony was based on, and the specific sorting process, because these little wizards would know in a while.

After she finished speaking, she asked the little wizards to dress up in the hut, wait for a while for the sorting ceremony, and temporarily left for the auditorium.
