Hermione's appearance made the carriage much more lively.

It was not until dark that the Hogwarts Express arrived at its destination.

A very tall and burly bearded man led Charlotte and others to a lake. Opposite the lake was a very magnificent castle.

Although Charlotte had imagined it countless times in his mind before coming, after seeing it with his own eyes, he was still shocked by the magic and grandeur of Hogwarts School.

"Absolutely incredible!"

Hearing Charlotte's admiration, Hagrid burst into laughter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the best magic school in the world, Hogwarts. I hope you will spend a pleasant seven years here. Now, get on board in groups of four."

Charlotte and Hermione boarded a small boat.

At this time, two people appeared beside the boat and asked:

"Can we come up? The other boats are already occupied."

"Of course," Hermione said enthusiastically.

Charlotte looked at the two of them with a hint of surprise in her eyes. The only one with red hair except the Weasley family, black-framed glasses, and a lightning-shaped scar on the forehead.

The identities of the two people are about to be revealed.

Originally, the three of them were supposed to meet on the train, but because Charlotte found Longbottom's toad first, Hermione did not go out to help find it, and so they did not meet on the train.

I didn’t expect the Iron Triangle would meet in this way.

After the boat docked, Hagrid led everyone into the gate of Hogwarts. A female wizard wearing a pointed wizard hat and square glasses stood on the steps and looked at everyone.

Hagrid said to the witch:

"Professor McGonagall, I have brought all the new students this year."

"Thank you very much, Hagrid!" Professor McGonagall nodded at Hagrid, then said to everyone expressionlessly: "Follow me in."

"The Hogwarts opening banquet is about to begin. The first thing you will do when you enter school is to have the Sorting Hat determine which school you will be admitted to, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin..."

Professor McGonagall introduced the college to Charlotte and others as they walked.

"Charlotte, which college do you most want to enter?" Hermione asked in a low voice, "I want to go to Gryffindor, let's go together."

Charlotte smiled and said:

“It’s not up to us to decide this.”

As they were talking, McGonagall had already led them into a hall. Charlotte and Hermione walked in front. The combination of the handsome man and beautiful woman immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

At this moment, Charlotte was attracted by the floating candles, pumpkin lanterns and magical ceiling in the hall.

This is magic!

The freshmen lined up in the aisle, looking nervously at the worn black wizard hat in Professor McGonagall's hand.

Professor McGonagall held up a piece of parchment and said:

"Students whose names have been read, please come forward and put on the Sorting Hat, and then determine the house you will go to."

"Hermione Granger!"

Hearing her name, Hermione suddenly became nervous. Charlotte comforted her softly:

"Go ahead, it's okay, you will definitely get into the college you want to go to."

Hermione nodded, then walked over and sat on the stool with a nervous expression.

"Gryffindor!"

The Sorting Hat screamed, and the Gryffindor students burst into warm cheers. Hermione waved happily to Charlotte and sat down at the Gryffindor table.

The second was Draco Malfoy, who was sorted into Slytherin as expected.

There was no change for Harry Potter and Ron Weasley either, and they were assigned to Gryffindor.

"Shiloh Elvis!"

Finally, Charlotte's name was called, and he quickly walked forward and put on the Sorting Hat.

The four major academies are all the same to Charlotte. What he wants is to learn magical knowledge and become stronger no matter where he is.

"Oh, you are such an excellent freshman. You have powerful magic at such a young age, and you also have amazing wisdom. The four major colleges are very suitable for you. Young man, do you have any students you want to go to?"

Everyone present was shocked when they heard what the Sorting Hat said.

The Sorting Hat has always made the decisions on its own, so why did it start asking students about their wishes when it came to Charlotte's turn?

There was also a hint of surprise in Professor McGonagall's eyes. She had been presiding over ceremonies for decades, but she had never seen such a situation.

At this time, Charlotte said:

"As long as I can learn magic, I can go anywhere."

"I can feel that this is what you think in your heart." The Sorting Hat said, "I already know which house to sort you into, Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw is the most suitable house for you!"

After hearing the Sorting Hat's roar, the Ravenclaw students burst into applause.

Among the four major houses of Hogwarts, Ravenclaw has the least number of people, because to enter the House of Eagles requires extraordinary wisdom. Only three of the freshmen this year were sorted into Ravenclaw.

Charlotte's joining undoubtedly added fresh blood to Ravenclaw.

Only Hermione looked at Charlotte with an unhappy expression.

The Sorting Hat had already asked him, and he could come to Gryffindor as long as he asked. This guy is so annoying! .

Chapter 7: Magical Transfiguration!

Charlotte smiled and walked to the long table belonging to Ravenclaw and sat down.

Although Ravenclaw has a small role in the original novel, the students in this academy are definitely strong, as can be seen from Luna Lovegood.

This low-key girl always makes people's eyes light up at the critical moment.

At this moment, Charlotte felt that someone was staring at him. He turned his head and happened to meet Albus Dumbledore's eyes, which were like deep pools.

He was startled for a moment, then bowed his head in respect.

Dumbledore also smiled and nodded at Charlotte.

"He is indeed an interesting little fellow. Such a keen sense of perception is rare even among adult wizards. No wonder Mad-Eye Moody said that his talent is rare in a century. It seems that this little fellow not only has the talent to become an Animagus, but also has the talent to become a prophet and fortune teller."

"The Sorting Hat was right. He is indeed a natural Ravenclaw!"

After the freshman sorting ceremony, Dumbledore stood up and said:

"Okay, now the party begins!"

The moment the words fell, a wide variety of food appeared on the plates on the long table. Roast chicken, fruits, cakes and other foods dazzled Charlotte.

Charlotte hadn't eaten much the whole day, but he didn't feel hungry because he was in an excited state. When he suddenly saw so many tempting foods, he couldn't help but start eating.

This scene made everyone around burst into laughter.

After dinner, the prefects of each college led their people back to their common rooms.

Ravenclaw's common room is at the westernmost end of the castle, at the top of the entrance tower. An old wooden board is the entrance to the common room.

The class leader Penelope Clearwater stood at the door, pointed at the bronze door knocker on the wooden board and said to Charlotte and other freshmen:

"The way Ravenclaw enters the common lounge is completely different from the other three houses. We don't need to set up a hidden entrance to the common lounge like other houses. Behind this door is our Ravenclaw lounge."

"When you knock on this door, the bronze crow ring on the door will ask you a question. If you can answer correctly, then congratulations, you are allowed to enter. In Ravenclaw, it is very common for more than ten or twenty people to be stopped at the door of the lounge. This is also a good opportunity for you to get to know students of other ages. I only have one suggestion for the freshmen who have just arrived. Please check your bag before going out and don't leave any urgent items behind."

"In the thousand years since Ravenclaw was founded, no one except Ravenclaw has been able to pass this simple barrier!"

After saying that, Penero reached out and knocked on the wooden door, only to hear the crow-shaped bronze door knocker say:

"Which came first, the fire or the phoenix?"

Penelope Clearwater turned around and looked at the freshmen and asked:

"Does anyone know?"

"This is a cycle, there is no starting point," said Charlotte.

The moment the words fell, the door opened.

Class leader Penelope Clearwater and some senior students looked at Charlotte in surprise. To be honest, this question was quite difficult and some senior students might not be able to answer it.

Unexpectedly, Charlotte pointed it out.

"Very good!" Penelope led everyone into the lounge. "Well, welcome everyone to Ravenclaw again. Congratulations on becoming a member of the smartest, most agile and most interesting Hogwarts house!"

After a brief introduction, Charlotte came to her dormitory.

Ravenclaw advocates freedom, wind and blue sky. The dormitory is also on the top floor of the tower. Through the window, Charlotte can see the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest and the Quidditch field. The scenery here can be said to be unique.

"Charlotte, you were so amazing just now. Even many senior students look at you differently."

The boy who was speaking was called Charles Anthony, from Ireland. He had short, slightly curly chestnut hair, rare green eyes, and a very lively personality. He had been chattering non-stop beside Charlotte since dinner time.

Charlotte sighed and said:

"Charles, if you don't want to be late tomorrow and get detention from your teacher, I suggest you go to bed right now."

When Charles heard about being put in solitary confinement, he immediately shut his mouth.

Charlotte was very tired today, but she couldn't fall asleep after lying down. The excitement of entering Hogwarts had not subsided.

Apart from anything else, there are several magical creatures here that Charlotte covets, such as Dumbledore's pet phoenix Fawkes, the strange snake in the Chamber of Secrets, and the unicorn, etc.

These magical creatures all possess extremely powerful supernatural powers.

Especially the Phoenix's rebirth from the ashes. If I could possess such power, wouldn't I be able to live forever?

The strange snake is also very powerful. Whoever it glares at will die!

But now I don’t have the strength to defeat the monster snake. In the original book, if it weren’t for the phoenix Fawkes blinding the monster snake’s eyes, Harry Potter would have been dead long ago.

……

The next day, Charlotte came to the classroom early.

The first class after entering Hogwarts was Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class, which was a magic that Charlotte really wanted to learn.

In Charlotte's opinion, Transfiguration is definitely the most flexible magic in the wizarding world, without a doubt. As long as you use it properly, you can even transform into a Gundam!

As soon as she sat down, Hermione came to Charlotte's side and asked in a questioning tone:

"Why didn't you come to Gryffindor, but chose Ravenclaw?"

Charlotte said:

"It's not my choice, it's the Sorting Hat's choice."

"But you clearly..."

Seeing Hermione's angry look, Charlotte smiled and said:

"Whether it's Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, aren't we all in Hogwarts? We see each other every day. What difference does it make which house we're in?"

Hermione couldn't find any words to refute for a moment. She glared at Charlotte and turned back to her seat.

And this class started with Harry Potter and Ron being late.

After reprimanding the two, Professor McGonagall said with a serious expression:

"Why did Hogwarts set up a separate subject for Transfiguration? That's because Transfiguration is one of the most dangerous, complex, and difficult spells you will learn in the future!"

"Let me make it clear. If anyone makes trouble in my class, I will turn him into a ball and kick him out. He will never be able to enter my class again!"

As she finished her words, Professor McGonagall pointed the wand in her hand towards the desk.

The wooden table turned into a fat white pig!

This scene immediately stunned all the students in the class, and everyone began to be eager to try it.

"Oh my god, this is amazing!"

"I want to learn this. After I learn it, I can turn stones into gold."

"Professor McGonagall is amazing!"

Hearing the students' exclamations, Professor McGonagall showed a hint of satisfaction on her face. She waved the wand in her hand gently, and the classroom suddenly became quiet. She said:

"Now, I will explain to you the basic principles of Transfiguration. Please take good notes."
