The years of welding at Hogwarts

When his blurred vision became clear again, the young man in the distance had already lowered his hands that seemed to be embracing the bright moon in the sky.

The distant feeling that kept people at a distance from him also disappeared.

He must have seen it wrong.

Scratching his clumsy head, Hagrid coughed dryly to cover up the embarrassment of being scared by a child.

Although there was no one there just now

Know his mental activities.

"Great Luminescent Charm. If I were a professor at Hogwarts, I would definitely give you ten points."

Hearing Hagrid's comment, Miss Beaver, who was standing next to Noah, was the first to be unhappy.

Is this more than “great”?

The fluorescent spell that Noah just demonstrated included a series of high-end casting techniques such as silent casting, wandless casting, instant super magic, out-of-body manipulation, and shape-changing.

As a tough person who memorized all the textbooks before school started, the future Miss Know-It-All Hermione Granger could naturally see that there were some obvious high-level spellcasting techniques hidden behind Noah's outrageous fluorescent charm.

Although Noah played it down, she knew how difficult it was.

Even she, who had practiced magic at home for a month, could only cast the standard fluorescent spell according to the standard casting process, and was unable to make any changes to it.

"How on earth did you do that?"

When everyone set out on their journey under the light of the bright moon, Hermione jumped forward to Noah's side, grabbed his arm, and asked impatiently.

"How did you do that?"

"I read in a book that silent and wandless spellcasting is a very advanced spellcasting technique that can only be mastered by powerful wizards with extremely profound knowledge!"

She fumbled in her pocket, pulled out her wand, and pointed it at the void in front of her. "Fluorescent flash."

An egg-sized ball of light lit up at the tip of her wand. The slightly flickering white light looked inconspicuous under the suppression of another powerful light source.

"No matter what I try I can only cast the Luminescence spell like this!"

Hermione pointed at the ball of light that had been following everyone's footsteps, floating in the air and silently lighting the way forward for everyone, "How on earth did you do that!"

She stared at Noah with her eyes shining with curiosity.

Hearing Hermione mention this sad question, Noah couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, his expression slightly stiff.

If you also have a two-meter-long magic wand, you will understand.

Many young wizards could clearly control the objects around them to float by casting spells without wands before entering school, but after they entered school, they lost this ability.

This may be related to the fact that they developed a dependence on the magic wand after getting it.

Although Noah had a magic wand, his broken wooden stick was of no use at all.

So his magic basically depends entirely on rubbing with hands.

If life didn't force them, who would want to keep a magic wand unused?

"Put away your broken wooden stick," Noah stared at the wand in Hermione's hand with a bad look, "and practice Lumos for a month, then you can do it."

Hermione looked at him with a look that said, "Don't lie to me." "Is it that simple?"

“It’s really that simple.”

……

Once you can see the road clearly, the rugged mountain road becomes a little easier to walk on.

Hagrid felt a lot more relaxed now that he no longer had to worry about whether some little wizards behind him would fall behind in the dark, or whether they would not be able to see the road clearly and be tripped by some obstacles.

The team's marching speed was obviously much faster than walking in the dark.

"Turn this corner," the half-blood giant walking in front suddenly turned back, "you will soon see Hogwarts for the first time."

In response, the little wizards shouted loudly, "Oh!"

At the end of the narrow and rugged mountain path, a sparkling black lake suddenly appeared.

There were about twenty dilapidated small boats on the shore, moored next to a rather simple wooden pier. The long-term disrepair made people wonder if they would collapse if they stepped on them.

The outline of a huge monster stood on the distant mountain, with spires standing on the towering castle and windows flickering under the starry sky.

Noah turned off the fluorescent spell, allowing the building, which was vague and unclear due to the interference of the strong light, to reveal a clearer outline.

"Alright!" Hagrid clapped his hands heavily, drawing everyone's attention back from the castle in the distance.

He pointed to a fleet of small boats moored on the shore and shouted, "No more than four people in each boat!"

Noah's group of five was definitely oversized.

There was no hesitation, and the three boys and two girls boarded two separate boats.

After making sure everyone was on board, Hagrid, who was alone in a boat, shouted, "Forward!"

A fleet of small boats immediately sailed forward across the mirror-like lake.

Gazing at the huge castle that reached into the sky, all the students on the ship were silent.

As they approached the cliff on which the castle stood, it seemed to tower over them, and the scene was particularly shocking.

"Draw your heads!" Hagrid shouted as the first boats approached the cliffs.

In fact, except Hagrid, no one else needed to bow their heads.

The front of the cliff is covered with ivy curtains, and an aerial bridge crosses the canyon, showing a unique beauty under the moonlight.

The fleet passed through a dark tunnel at the bottom of the cliff. They seemed to have come to the base of the castle, and finally arrived at a small dock similar to an underground dock, and then climbed up a ground of gravel and pebbles.

Afterwards, they were illuminated by the fluorescent spell that Noah had cast again.

, climbing up a winding tunnel in the rock, and finally reaching a flat, wet meadow in the shadow of the castle.

After climbing the last flight of stairs, all the students gathered in front of a huge oak door.

Hagrid walked forward, raised his fist as big as a rice cooker and pounded on the castle door a few times. The door suddenly opened, and a gloomy wizard in a silk black wizard robe appeared behind the door.

Watching Snape walk out of the castle, Noah curled the corners of his mouth.

Old Si, that's enough.

Is this really necessary?

I won’t talk about what happened at King’s Cross Station in the morning.

When they arrived at the Hogsmeade platform on the Hogwarts Express, the old bat, who was incurably obsessed with his daughter, even ran out of the castle just to put a coat on Shirley.

Now that he has nothing to do, he took over Professor McGonagall's job of welcoming new students just to see his daughter earlier.

Gee tut.

I wonder which guy will be lucky enough to become Snape's son-in-law in the future.

Noah observed a three-second silence for him in his heart in advance.

Hagrid was also a little surprised to see that the person who appeared behind the castle door was Snape, "First year, Professor Snape."

Snape nodded slightly at the other party, his voice as dead as usual, without any unnecessary ups and downs in the tone.

"Okay, leave it to me here."

His eyes slowly swept over the group of little kids in front of him. His cold gaze made every little wizard dare not look at him, and they all lowered their heads.

Although some of them had already noticed that this professor was the "kind" wizard who had just appeared in Hogsmeade Station Village and brought clothes to Shirley.

How can the other person's current appearance be related to "kindness"?

Snape easily found the touch of red that he had been longing for among the group of shivering little wizards.

There was also a hint of black next to it that made him feel uneasy.

Wait, what is that?

Snape's eyes were fixed on Shirley's hand. Whose other hand was she holding?

Following the direction of the arm, Snape noticed that there was a little witch with messy hair standing next to Shirley.

Oh, it seems to be a new friend I just met on the train.

Snape vaguely remembered that he had seen this little witch when he was on the platform of Hogsmeade just now.

That's fine.

Snape withdrew his gaze from his precious daughter. Although the crisis was resolved, he still glared at Noah fiercely, once again warning Noah with his eyes not to have any ideas about Shirley.

Even though the murderous intent that suddenly emerged in the air was only a flash, Noah, who had a keen sense of perception, still captured it clearly.

He couldn't help but wonder, what was this old bat doing crazy again?

"You guys, follow me."

After saying this coldly, Snape walked into the castle's entrance hall without looking back.

Chapter 30 The Unfair Old Bee

The entrance hall of Hogwarts Castle is about the same size as the lobby of Gringotts Bank, but the lighting conditions are obviously not as good as those of Gringotts, which has a hemispherical glass dome.

The lighting in the foyer depended on burning torches stuck in the surrounding stone walls, and the thick ceiling, so high that the top was almost invisible, blocked the entry of outside light.

The first thing that caught the eyes of the little wizards was a luxurious marble staircase leading directly to the second floor of the castle.

Following the crowd a few steps forward, Noah passed the door of the auditorium which was tightly closed the last time he came to Hogwarts. A buzz of voices came from behind the door. There must be at least hundreds of people talking in low voices to create such a noise.

Snape led the students to a small empty room at the other end of the hall.

All the students rushed in, rubbing shoulders with each other, and stared at everything around them nervously and carefully.

The little wizards gathered together inevitably whispered to each other, but when Snape, who walked briskly, turned around, the room immediately fell into deathly silence.

Even Shirley, who was not afraid of her kind old father, was influenced by this atmosphere and closed her mouth obediently.

The main reason was that Hermione didn't dare to talk to her, and it was impossible for her to talk to herself.

"The Sorting Ceremony will begin in a moment, you wait here."

Snape swept his gloomy eyes over the freshmen, "Keep order until I come back, and don't whisper."

Then he walked out of the room, and the heavy oak door slammed shut behind him. The little wizards who were frightened by Snape's aura and dared not move at all all breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Sorting Ceremony?" Hermione whispered. "But how are they going to figure out which house we go to?"

"It should be through some method to test our magic power," Malfoy held his chin up seriously, "and sorted according to our magical talents."

After a pause, he added, "My father told me that only the most powerful and talented pure-blood wizards can enter Slytherin."

Detecting magic?

Noah suddenly thought of a picture——

In full view of everyone, Draco walked to the front of the hall and put the Sorting Hat on his head.

The Sorting Hat opened its mouth and said, "Magic power! Stage three!"

The once genius young master of the Ma family has become a waste, Parkinson's

The daughter of the family came to cancel the engagement.

Standing on the Astronomy Tower of Hogwarts Castle, Draco roared: "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west! Don't despise the young and poor!"

Then Draco accidentally entered the headmaster's office and received guidance from the white-bearded old man Albus Dumbledore. From then on, he became the new generation of Dark Lord and led the Wizarding Party to become bigger and stronger.

Finally, in the wizarding world, he had a decisive battle with another dark lord, Voldemort.

The devil is so powerful that he turns his magic power into a horse, which is so terrifying.

Thinking of this, Noah couldn't help it.

No, let him laugh first.

He burst out laughing.

The others cast strange looks at him.

Facing everyone's gaze, Noah made up a random sentence, "What do you think Hogwarts gave you for the month? It must be to prepare for the assessment."

"It's over!" Hermione was horrified and ignored Snape's ban on whispering.

"But I only learned a few simple spells. I haven't even mastered the levitation spell! I should have taken my textbook with me when I got off the bus!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but people within a few meters could hear it.
