HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

All the young wizards turned pale and stared at Hagrid in disbelief.

Hagrid sat quietly on the boat, his face serious.

An hourglass had appeared beside him without his noticing, and sand was slowly flowing down inside.

One second, two seconds...

Immediately afterwards, the entire audience erupted in uproar!

"Oh my god!!"

"Merlin's underwear?! That's outrageous!!"

"Is this the Hogwarts Sorting Test?! It came so suddenly, no wonder my parents didn't tell me the truth."

"But...why does something feel off to me?"

"Stop daydreaming! Didn't you see that big guy has started the timer? We only have thirty minutes, if we don't act now it'll be too late! Run!!"

"Yeah, yeah... If we don't reach our destination in time, we'll be sent to the 'hell level,' which sounds absolutely terrifying!!"

"For the glory of pure-blood wizards, I will not fail!"

Finally, some young wizards took action.

It was Malfoy!

He stuck one foot out of the wooden boat and gently stepped on the ice.

The ice is very thick, extending at least ten meters underwater.

Malfoy then jumped off the wooden boat with peace of mind and walked towards the cliff in front of him.

However, he had just taken a step...

"ah--"

Bang! !

The ice was smoother than he had imagined. Malfoy felt his foot slip and then fell heavily onto the ice.

It's face down!

My teeth even bled from being knocked down!

"Young Master Malfoy!!" ×2

Upon seeing this, Crabbe and Goyle hurriedly jumped off the wooden boat, intending to go forward and check.

Coincidentally...

Boom!Boom!

Both of them fell to the ground, landing hard on their buttocks.

The group of young wizards were startled by what they saw and all looked towards the ice.

Seeing that the ice surface was as solid as a cement floor, without a single crack, I finally felt a little relieved.

"With such solid ice, at least we don't have to worry about falling into the lake halfway across."

"But it's so slippery, we can barely stand. Can we really reach the finish line in thirty minutes?"

The young wizards couldn't help but feel nervous.

On the ice, Malfoy tried to stand up using his elbows for support, but he failed several times.

"Master Malfoy! Use the clothes!"

Crabbe yelled as he ripped off one of his jackets and pulled it over the part of his body that was in contact with the ice, "That way I can stand up!"

"You're a genius, kid!!"

Malfoy suddenly realized what he meant and immediately held out his hand: "Give it to me!"

Crabbe: "??"

Malfoy retorted irritably, "What are you hesitating for? Do you expect me to use my own clothes?"

Crabbe: "..."

Soon, Malfoy snatched a piece of clothing from Crabbe and Goyle and put it under his shoes.

Now he could walk on the ice as if it were flat ground.

As for Crabbe and Goyle, they each took a piece of clothing and put it over one of their feet.

Although it makes walking look like a limp, at least I can walk on the ice.

But this left them with only a wizard's robe on—it was practically the same as walking bare-chested on ice.

With these three as role models, the other young wizards no longer hesitated and followed suit. Even those young wizards who were originally afraid to act got off the wooden boat with gritted teeth.

Regardless, the lake is now frozen over, making it impossible for wooden boats to navigate, so walking to Hogwarts is the only option; they have no other choice!

Elaine stood on the wooden boat, looking at his masterpiece, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

"What an inspiring and uplifting scene!"

"You all agree, right?"

He looked at Harry and Ron beside him.

Harry leaned closer to Elaine and whispered, "Elaine, this...you did this, didn't you?"

Elaine immediately stopped smiling and pretended to be serious.

"Hey~ Don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm only eleven years old, how could I possibly do something like that?"

"Hagrid just said that this is a test Hogwarts has given us!"

I understand, that's what you did!

Harry felt dizzy.

If he originally had only three-tenths of a doubt, he now has seven-tenths of a certainty.

Because Elaine's current expression is exactly the same as when he said he wasn't the one who turned Malfoy into a toad!

The main reason why we were only 70% sure, rather than completely certain, was because of Hagrid.

Harry knew that Hagrid was a simple, honest, and kind person who would not cooperate with Elaine in such a prank.

Therefore, it's possible that this was the Hogwarts trial, but Elaine knew about it beforehand.

No wonder he told us to eat more on the train and said something strange like, "You'll have more energy to run later." So that's what he was waiting for!

"Stop overthinking, just focus on passing the current test!"

Elaine patted Harry on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"I have to go now, you'd better hurry and catch up, or you'll miss dinner at Hogwarts!"

"Wait a minute, it seems Hogwarts won't serve meals if all the new students haven't arrived?"

"Haha... I hope they ate something beforehand to fill their stomachs."

Elaine laughed and jumped off the wooden boat.

When he landed, two ice shards had already grown on the soles of his shoes.

He slammed onto the ice with a thud, then, using the wooden boat that was fixed in the ice, he pushed off with his legs and shot out!

"ice skating?!"

Harry's eyes widened. "You can do that?!"

"What do we do now, Harry?"

Ron rubbed his hands together vigorously and looked at Harry: "Should we run too?"

Harry remained silent for several seconds, then glanced at Hagrid, who was sitting upright, and finally sighed helplessly.

"Run, there's no better way now."

After saying that, the two of them followed the main group and began to move about.

On the other hand, Elaine was having a great time.

The frozen black lake has almost no friction, so he only needs to slightly adjust the direction of his feet to maintain his initial speed and move forward quickly.

His skating skills are very proficient.

With a light tap of his foot, he glided effortlessly past the wooden boat and the little wizard blocking his way.

She looked like a swallow, effortlessly weaving through the throngs of people.

A gust of cold wind swept over him, making him feel refreshed and invigorated.

Elaine, this "outlier," naturally attracted the attention of the young wizards along the way.

"Look, that person is so fast!"

"He just darted past me in a flash, faster than flying!"

"My God! He's ice skating!"

What is ice skating?

"A Muggle sport! But I don't understand, how did he even do it?"

Amidst the rising and falling gasps of shock, Elaine quickly moved to the front of the group.

A round, familiar-looking golden head came into view.

Without a second thought, Elivin raised his right hand and spread his five fingers.

"Hey, Malfoy!"

Snapped! !

The palm made firm contact with the back of Malfoy's head, producing a crisp and loud sound.
