The days at Hogwarts

Page 7

When it came to the chocolate frog, Hermione found it a little hard to accept it because it looked too much like a real frog.

She almost cried out when Loren tore one open and bit off half of the frog's head, still throbbing on its hind legs.

Hermione opened her mouth and before she could scream, Loren stuffed a frog leg into her mouth. The broken limb was still throbbing even in her mouth.

She wanted to spit it out, but the chocolate immediately melted in her mouth, and the sweet taste and aroma permeated her mouth.

Hermione failed to resist and finally accepted the food, agreeing that it was quite delicious. She was also very interested in the wizard pictures that appeared.

Things didn't end here. When Hermione saw Loren taking a cockroach out of the box and stuffing it into his mouth, with the exploding white juice splashing on the corners of his mouth, her defense finally broke down and she couldn't bear it anymore and screamed.

"Ah!" Hermione screamed, but immediately remembered the scene of being stuffed with a chocolate frog, and covered her mouth tightly, tears almost coming out.

Looking at the little witch like this, Loren couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Outside the cubicle, Neville, who was looking for a toad, saw this scene: a very presumptuous boy was laughing extremely evilly, and the little witch was standing next to him, wanting to cry but not daring to.

Thinking about my grandmother's teachings and my parents' glory, my fists hardened.

Chapter 12 Arrived at the destination!

Loren swallowed the candy in his mouth. It had a chocolate lemon sweet core and tasted really good.

Hermione recovered, wiped her eyes, and said to herself: Magic snacks, magic snacks...

Neville pushed the door open and wanted to scold Loren. But he got scared and froze in his tracks. The two people in the compartment also saw the fat boy pushing the door open.

"Excuse me?" Loren asked.

Neville hesitated for a few seconds: "I, I thought you were bullying the freshmen, but it seems not."

Hermione blushed a little, but still explained: "I was scared by the fun candy."

Neville paused for a moment and looked at the box on the table.

Loren invited: "Cockroach pile, would you like some?" He had a good impression of this little fat guy who was timid but still stood up.

Neville waved his hands quickly: "No, no." Even among wizards, only some people like piles of cockroaches.

Loren held out his hand, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Loren Morgan, and I'm a freshman."

Neville shook his hand and responded, "My name is Neville Longbottom, and I'm also a new student."

Hermione also spoke: "I am Hermione Granger."

After the three of them got to know each other, they sat down and started chatting and eating snacks.

Hermione was full of curiosity about Neville, who came from a wizard family, but Neville was a little shy and not good at speaking. Loren helped to mediate and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

After a while, Loren felt as if something was wrong, and he remembered the plot.He looked up at Neville, and at this moment Longbottom had completely forgotten about the pet, and was happily knocking on the strange-flavored beans.

Loren waited for a while and couldn't help but remind him: "Were you looking for something just now?"

Neville slapped his head and exclaimed, "I forgot my pet was lost. I was just looking for my pet."

Hermione's mind was still sorting out the meaning of this sentence, and Loren said, "Let's look for it together."

The three of them began to look for the toad in the carriage. They had no other choice but to ask in each compartment one by one.

Some of the cubicles were ones that Neville had already been to, and during this time his expression became increasingly depressed. His previous happy snacking behavior seemed to make Neville feel even more guilty and remorseful.

"Has anyone of you seen a toad? Neville lost a toad." Hermione pushed the door open and spoke. She was already a little anxious. Neville's condition had affected Hermione's emotions a little, and her tone was not friendly.

Harry and Ron were sitting in the compartment. Black hair, green eyes, and a pair of broken glasses. The person next to him had red hair and freckles on his face. Loren recognized him immediately.

"We've told him we didn't see it." Ron's tone was also a little impatient. He was holding up his wand and was about to dye some things yellow.

Hermione also saw it, "Oh. Are you casting magic? Then let us open our eyes." After saying that, she sat down directly.

Ron was confused, "Oh... okay." He shook his wand woodenly and began to cast a spell.

Daisies, sweet cream and sunshine turn this silly fat mouse yellow.

Nothing happened, the fat grey mouse was sleeping soundly.

Loren's eyes also fell on the gray mouse.

No one noticed that his blue pupils gradually became lighter and shadows floated in his eyes. Loren saw a layer of black and blood-red dim light floating on the mouse. This was Peter Pettigrew.

Inexplicably, Loren thought of that sentence, Rat...

The strange vision quickly dissipated, and the other people certainly could not see such a scene.

Loren noticed that his eyes looked a little strange, but he didn't know what was going on and planned to wait until he got to Hogwarts to find out.

In the compartment, Hermione had calmed down, fixed Harry's glasses, and introduced herself and Loren.

They were almost at their destination, so she reminded them to change into their robes. She was about to say goodbye to Harry and Ron and then look for Neville's toad.

Loren couldn't remember where Neville's toad was found in the movie, but he had other plans. He took the two of them directly to the senior class for help.

The three of them walked out a short distance and saw a boy with platinum hair and a pale face leading two boys who were taller than him towards the compartment where Harry was.

Hermione was still continuing the conversation in the cubicle, wondering which house she would be sorted into. She wanted to go to Gryffindor, Ravenclaw was also good, but preferably not Slytherin.

Neville said his grandmother wanted him to be sorted into Gryffindor and be brave, but he thought he would go to Hufflepuff.

The three of them walked to the front carriage and finally saw their target. This person also had red hair and a silver letter "P" on his chest.

Loren stepped forward to say hello, "Hello, we are freshmen this year, are you a prefect?"

The red-haired boy looked a little proud, with his eyebrows raised high, as if he was proud to be recognized as the prefect by the freshmen, but he quickly restrained himself and responded: "Yes, I am the prefect Percy Weasley, how can I help you?"

Hermione's crisp voice rang out: "This is Neville. His pet toad is missing. Can you help us find it?"

Neville's face flushed.

Percy Weasley relaxed, it was just a matter of finding a pet, "Of course, it won't be a difficult task for the prefect."

He took out his wand and waved and pointed.

【Flying around】

As the spell sounded, an ugly toad flew out of Neville's pocket and landed on the ground where the wand was pointing.

"Oh! I put it in my pocket and I forgot!" Neville cheered with a red face.

Hermione exclaimed: "Is this a flying spell?"

Percy's smile grew wider with the compliment, "You'll learn too."

The three of them said goodbye to the prefect and returned to their respective compartments. Loren changed into his robes and shared the unfinished candy on the table with Hermione.

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train and we will take it to school for you." The voice of the announcement echoed on the train.

"What kind of magic is this? Is the sound loud?" Hermione asked. The little witch was full of enthusiasm and curiosity about everything in the magical world.

Several people flocked to the door while talking, and the people in the whole carriage squeezed to get off at the door, pushing and shoving.Neville was scattered, and Loren squeezed Hermione out.

After getting off the station, we followed Hagrid's instructions, stumbling along a path, out of the woods, and came to a lake.

On the high hillside across the lake stood a towering castle with towers and windows that sparkled with beautiful lights like stars.

There were four people on one boat. Loren and Hermione boarded first, followed by Neville. The last person to come on board was a boy with light brown hair.

At first Loren didn't take it seriously, but when the boy introduced himself as Seamus Finnigan, Loren's eyes widened. It's you! The explosive genius!

The boats sailed across the calm lake and through the vines. The reflections on the lake rippled with the waves, and the stars swayed in the water.

Loren felt a different mood as he watched this scene.

On the boat, Hermione was still discussing the issue of sorting, and Loren spoke up, "I've heard that there will be a test for admission, and those who fail will be expelled from Hogwarts."

Hermione turned pale with fear and began to mutter to herself, "What should I do? I still have a lot of knowledge to remember and I haven't finished memorizing the textbooks. I will definitely be kicked out by Professor McGonagall..."

Neville and Seamus beside them also began to panic. At this time, Loren showed a mean expression: "Hehehe, I made it up to scare you. Hogwarts hasn't expelled any students for many years."

Hermione relaxed and hit Loren's thigh hard. Loren covered his leg and started to grunt and act weird. Hermione felt a little guilty when she saw him like this. Just as she was about to speak, Loren yawned again: "Hehehe, I was just pretending."

Hermione was furious and ignored him. Neville and Seamus started discussing some horrible rumors about the Sorting House and putting pressure on each other.

The boat went ashore, passed through a tunnel, walked across a meadow, and arrived at the castle gate, where Professor McGonagall was already waiting.

Chapter 13: In the Branch, where the dream begins

Following Professor McGonagall, we came to a small empty room. All the freshmen were crowded together, staring at everything around them nervously.

"Welcome to Hogwarts."

Professor McGonagall introduced Hogwarts, the four colleges, and the House Cup in a gentle voice.

Light shone through the eyes of all the little wizards, and for some of them, the world was different.

"...I hope that no matter which college you are assigned to, you can bring honor to the college."

"In a few minutes, the Sorting Ceremony will be held in front of the entire school. I suggest that you tidy up your appearance and keep quiet while waiting. I will come to pick you up later." After saying that, Professor McGonagall left the room.

The little wizards soon began to talk to each other.

Harry asked Ron and Neville, who were both from wizarding families, "How can they sort us into the right house?"

Hermione also pricked up her ears and waited for the answer.

"I think it was a test. Fred said it was very harmful to us, but I thought he was joking."

Harry and Hermione's hearts trembled again, and panic filled the air.

"Restored to original condition..." Hermione began to silently recite the spell she knew.

Loren was worried that the Sorting Hat would see his memories of his past life and that he would be considered an evil dark wizard. No one would really be sorted into Azkaban when school started at Hogwarts.

He had never thought about this question before, because he believed that Dumbledore and Snape would not snoop into the minds of first-year students. But he forgot that there was such a thing as the Sorting Hat.

A group of ghosts came out from the back wall and started chatting with the freshmen, comforting them and introducing their respective colleges. But they didn't reveal the details, which made Hermione very anxious.

Not long after, Professor McGonagall returned and directed the students to march in single file through the entrance hall into the luxurious dining room.

The magic on the dome brought the night sky into the auditorium. In the middle of the hall, four long tables were occupied by students from four colleges. The tables were covered with glittering golden plates and goblets. The table in front was where the professors sat.

Everyone looked at the group of freshmen.

Professor McGonagall placed a four-legged stool in front of her, on which sat a worn pointed wizard's hat.

The freshman watched the gaping hole in his hat and began to sing:

...Put it on and try it, and I'll tell you.

Which college should you be assigned to.

You may belong to Gryffindor,

There is courage buried deep in my heart,

Their courage, courage and chivalry,

To make Gryffindor outstanding;

You may be a Hufflepuff,

The people there are honest and loyal,

Hufflepuff students are stoic and honest;
