HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Malfoy had just heard the sound and before he could turn around, he felt a heavy slap on the back of his head.

A deep yet clear sound suddenly rang out on the silent ice surface.

"ah--!!"

Unexpectedly, someone attacked him from behind. Malfoy instinctively cried out in surprise, and then felt a sharp pain in his head and a loss of control over his body at the same time.

The next moment, he fell forward and crashed heavily onto the ice.

"Agh—!! Damn it, who is it?!"

Malfoy roared and looked up, only to see a figure drifting away.

A few seconds later, Crabbe and Goyle took a step and hopped over to Malfoy's side.

The two men were shocked to see their beloved young master Malfoy fall down again, and rushed forward to help him up.

"Young Master Malfoy, are you alright?"

"Who was that person just now?! Who was it?!"

"Damn it! He dared to pat me on the head! Even my dad has never hit me!"

"I'm going to tell my dad to expel him from Hogwarts!!"

Malfoy was so angry that his face turned red, as if white steam was about to burst out of his ears at any moment.

What?!

Did that person pat Malfoy on the head?

Crabbe and Goyle quickly looked at the back of Malfoy's head and saw a bright red handprint there. They immediately gasped.

Good guy!

That was a really hard slap!

"I think he was the Mudblood who was with Harry Potter before."

Malfoy frowned. "Who?"

"He's the one who's quite handsome, and you even mentioned he has that elegant head of hair!"

"So it was that lowly wizard!"

The two men's repeated reminders finally made Malfoy remember.

"Hmph, how could a wizard from ordinary Muggle society possibly dare to lay a hand on a pure-blood noble like me?"

"I'm sure he was acting on Harry Potter's orders!!"

Malfoy gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to tell my father about this and make Harry Potter pay the price!!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the ice beside him.

Boom-!

With a muffled thud, the ice surface remained motionless, but the impact sent a sharp pain through his fist.

"Ouch...that hurts!"

Crabbe and Goyle: "..."

Our young master Malfoy seems to be a bit mentally challenged.

Even if Harry Potter really did orchestrate this, are we just going to let that Mudblood get away with it?

Could it be that he was stunned by that kid's slap?!

A few minutes later.

Elaine was the first to reach the foot of the cliff.

He passed through the ivy curtains covering the front of the cliff and the dark underground passage, finally arriving at the underground dock where the wooden boats were moored.

"This is it!"

Elivin brushed the ice off his shoes, went ashore, and arrived at the boathouse.

Opening the wooden door of the boathouse, you'll find a path covered in gravel, leading to a long stone staircase.

Hogwarts is at the end of the stone steps.

"These stone steps seem a bit high!"

Elaine roughly counted and found that the stone staircase had at least three hundred steps, more than twenty platforms in the middle, and about ten turns, which made him secretly marvel.

"I wonder if the others will still have the strength to climb the stairs after they arrive here..."

Regardless of whether others have the strength to climb, Elaine doesn't need to.

whoosh-

Instant teleportation magic!

Elaine appeared directly at the end of the stone steps.

"Ohhh!!"

"It really worked!"

"As expected, Hogwarts' Anti-Apparition Array couldn't stop my Instant Teleportation Magic!!"

Elaine was visibly excited.

Come to think of it, this is 'FT magic'!

If "Anti-Apparition" can't even stop a house-elves' teleportation, how could it possibly stop its own teleportation magic?

"Now there are so many more things to do at Hogwarts!"

In an instant, all sorts of crazy ideas flooded into Elaine's head uncontrollably, like a swarm of bees!

After the initial excitement subsided, Elaine composed himself and looked around at where he was.

At the top of the stone steps was a large platform, a place he remembered.

In the movie, the scene in "The Order of the Phoenix" where Trelawney is fired by Umbridge, attracting the attention of the students, takes place here;

The final battle, in which Harry and Voldemort clashed with magic, also took place here.

There is a passageway on the right side of the large platform that connects to the main tower of Hogwarts.

Not far directly in front, a huge building stands tall.

That's the Great Hall of Hogwarts!

The auditorium doors are made of oak and are over three meters high.

Elaine approached the door, gently pushed it open a crack, and cautiously peered inside.

What comes into view is not a canteen with four long tables, but a rather spacious and bright lobby.

"Is this place unguarded?"

Elivin felt relieved and pushed open the door to enter the foyer.

The foyer was as big as Gringotts, with a ceiling so high you could hardly see the top, and the walls were covered with blazing torches.

There is a luxurious marble staircase on each side, and the two staircases turn at a rectangular platform before converging back towards the center, leading to the main entrance on the second floor.

This door is also closed.

Elaine went up to the second floor and gently pushed open a crack as well.

It wasn't a cafeteria inside, but a reception hall.

To the left of the reception hall stand four enormous hourglasses.

Elaine knew that this was the Hogwarts house score-counting hourglass.

The right side of the reception hall is divided into two sections, which connect to the marble staircase in the distance, but lead to different floors.

At the front of the reception hall is a tightly closed wooden door.

Elaine pressed his ear against the door and listened carefully. He could faintly hear some voices, but they seemed to be some distance away.

So he pushed open the door and went in.

Inside is a small hall.

Let's call it the 'cafeteria lobby' for now.

Because behind the door directly in front of this room, the voices of hundreds of people could be heard.

Elaine could even hear a few clear, complete sentences—

"Have the first-year students arrived yet?"

"Why haven't the first-year students arrived yet?"

"I'm so hungry!"

Now he was certain that the cafeteria was behind that door.

There is a torch stand in each of the four corners of the canteen's entrance hall, and next to each torch stand is a stone statue of a soldier.

There were many armored swordsmen humming songs on the ground, standing in pairs, looking quite interesting.

Just then, the cafeteria door was pushed open, and a tall, black-haired witch in a bright green robe walked out.

"what?"

"Why is this door open?"

"Did I forget to turn it off?"

Professor McGonagall looked at the empty dining hall entrance and the half-open wooden door in front of her with a puzzled expression.

However, she didn't think much of it.

"Now it's time to go to the door and greet the little wizards..."

Professor McGonagall turned around and closed the dining hall door before slowly walking toward the auditorium door.
