"Rifle, my toad." Neville's chubby round face was twisted as if he would cry at the next second.
"It always likes to run away. Maybe I should face the reality that it may not like to be with me."
"How could that be? Maybe you got lost in the panic. I'd better go to another box (cgac) to help you look for it."
Hermione stood up from her seat enthusiastically and left the box without waiting for Neville to say anything. Neville glanced at Higashino Yuu, thought for a moment, and followed immediately.
For a moment, Higashino Yu was the only one left in the carriage again.
Higashino Yuya was happy to have some free time and started studying the art of transformation again.
Since this wand chose him, it proved that he was indeed talented in Transfiguration.
It's a pity that although there are many descriptions of Transfiguration lectures in the original book, not many key things are mentioned. Even if he has the "Transfiguration Guide" in his hand, he still needs to study many things by himself.
Unlike the rigorous science, wizardry is a study that requires a lot of imagination.
For example, in the original book, Professor McGonagall asked everyone to turn a match into a needle. So what kind of needle should it be, a silver needle, a steel needle, a long needle, a short needle or even a thumbtack? All of these need to be thought through clearly in your mind.
In addition, there are patterns. As long as your imagination is rich enough, it is no problem to draw a "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" on a needle. Of course, if your imagination is not rich enough, you may directly turn a "Phoenix Ao Shi Picture" into a "Chicken Pecking Rice Picture".
But now Higashino Yu is stuck at this level - he doesn't know the formula for gasoline.
This is normal. No serious person would study how gasoline is refined. The most they know is that gasoline can burn and is divided into 92 and 95.
As for the others… does it count if I can’t drink them?
"troublesome!"
Higashino Yu rubbed his head and realized that self-study was still too difficult for him. Instead of continuing to study, he might as well do a set of "Three-Year Simulation and Five-Year High School Entrance Examination" to relax.
“You’re still learning this!”
When Hermione came back from outside with Neville, she was stunned to see Higashino Yu waving his pen.
Aren't we going to Hogwarts to learn magic?
Why are you still doing this?
Are you sure we went to the same college?
"Hehe." Looking at Hermione's stunned expression, Higashino Yu couldn't help but laugh. It was not easy to see such an expression on this little peacock's face.
After stretching, he slowly put down the pen in his hand and looked at Hermione with a serious expression, who had not yet closed her mouth.
"Hermione, have you ever thought about a question?"
"what is the problem?"
Hermione stared with confused eyes and finally turned her gaze away from the papers on the table.
"So that's what you're going to do in the future?"
Hermione was even more confused: "What do you mean."
"The school system at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is seven years. Are you really ready to enter the wizarding world at the age of eighteen after graduation?
And if you look at this whole car full of people, they are all students from grades 1 to 7 in the US. How many of these people are there?
Seven hundred people?
Eight hundred people?
Or a thousand people?
Even if you only have a glimpse of the whole world, you should be able to see clearly that the wizarding world is, after all, just a small society. If you want to pursue higher and better development, you must never give up the society of ordinary people. ".
69. Hit Hagrid in the face
In fact, the problem is more than what Higashino Yu said.
There are even more serious cases, such as the age of eleven to eighteen, which happens to be the stage of puberty development for a child, and it is also the stage when the world view is initially formed and grows rapidly.
If we place them in the wizarding world during this period of time, they will naturally grow into wizards quickly after being influenced by various things.
But there is an important issue here that cannot be ignored, that is, no matter how Dumbledore praises the wizarding world, it is just a small society.
A few large villages and a few commercial streets are enough to make up the entire Eagle Sauce-Wizarding World.
As for cities or anything like that, there aren't any at all.
Higashino Yuu remembered that in his previous life he saw a great man on the Internet who had calculated that there were no more than 3,000 wizards in the entire American wizarding society. Of course, someone later refuted that JK Rowling had said that there were only 1,000 students in the entire Hogwarts, so how could there be so few people in the wizarding world?
Okay, let’s just multiply the population of the wizarding world several times, how many people would that be?
Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Tens of thousands? Can it break through the 100,000 mark?
If we can't break through, then what's the difference between it and a rural town in Higashino Yu's hometown in his previous life?
However, according to information published in newspapers, the total population of Eagle Sauce in 1991 was 57.
So no matter how you look at it, one thing is certain: the wizarding world has a small population, slow economic and cultural development, and a single social occupation.
It can be said that class stratification is serious, like a stagnant pool of water.
This is the current American wizarding world.
However, the strength of a society's development is entirely determined by its size. The plate is so small that naturally you can't put too much in it.
This is naturally a good thing for those pure-bloods whose families have property waiting to be inherited, after all, they are born superior. However, it is definitely not friendly to Muggle wizards who have nothing but rush into this world.
Because each of them needs to start from scratch, and work hard for food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and everything. Even as Muggle parents, they cannot help even if they want to.
Therefore, after these young wizards graduate, they face two difficult choices: one is to completely integrate into the wizarding world and become the same as them, and the other is to return to their parents and continue to step into Muggle society.
But these two paths are not easy to take. There are only a few ways to become big and strong after entering the wizarding society, but behind each of them there is the shadow of the pure-blood wizard family. The same is true for living in the Muggle society. Seven years of being out of touch with society cannot be made up overnight.
You can't just watch all your childhood friends go to college and then set up a stall on the overpass to tell people's fortunes.
What to do in the future?
This is what Higashino Yu has been thinking about since he received the admission letter, and it is also the reason why he is not prepared to give up his Muggle studies even after coming here.
Of course, there is one thing he didn't say, which is that if he wants to break up this stagnant wizarding society, there is another way besides learning from both sides like Higashino Yuu, and that is revolution.
But this road is more difficult.
Didn’t the great man say that?
"A revolution is not a dinner party, an essay, or a painting or embroidery. It cannot be so elegant, so calm, gentle, and gentle. A revolution is a riot, a violent action in which a class overthrows a class."
As long as the existing pure-blood class is overthrown, then the "Mudbloods" will naturally be able to live a good life.
But it was too dangerous to say that. He didn't want to become the third Dark Lord and be imprisoned in Azkaban.
The train continued to chug along.
Different from the other loud sounds of joy, the only sounds in the carriage where Higashino Yuu was were the constant writing sounds of the pencil in Higashino Yuu's hand rubbing against the white paper and the slight snoring of the fat boy Neville after he fell asleep.
As for Hermione, she had been lost in thought since just now.
After all, the future Miss Know-It-All is just an eleven-year-old child. She may have some foresight, such as memorizing all the textbooks because she is afraid of not being able to keep up in class, but that's all.
As a newbie in the wizarding world, you can't expect her to know every aspect of the society's economy, population, rules and regulations.
Finally, the Golden Crow fell in the west and the Jade Rabbit rose in the east.
A small train with billowing steam slowly stopped in Hogsmeade.
·· ······Request flowers 0 ··
This is one of the few villages in the whole of Eagle Sauce that is populated by wizards. This year, Hogsmeade, as always, welcomed the new students who are about to set foot on Hogwarts.
When the train stopped at the platform, little wizards got off the train and came to a small, dark platform.
Like everyone else, Higashino Yuu was wearing a black wizard robe and a wizard hat, blending into the crowd without being noticeable at all.
"First years! First years over here! Harry, come over here, how are you?"
"Hagrid!"
A strong man with a big beard, about three meters tall, shouted loudly. He was wearing a coat made of fur of an unknown animal, had a big beard, and a pair of eyes like two beetles, shiny black. He also held a lamp in his hand, standing in front of the crowd like a street lamp.
..... ........ 0
Rubeus Hagrid, Gamekeeper at Hogwarts.
Of course, Higashino Yuu is no stranger to this person who was highlighted in the original work.
Similarly, Higashino Yu also noticed the boy named Harry, who looked a little thin, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind, with a pair of round eyes on his fair little face.
Following the surging crowd, Higashino Yuu, Hermione and the fat boy Neville quietly joined the team of first-year students.
"Come on, follow me. Are there any first-year students who haven't arrived yet? Watch your step. All right, first-year students, follow me. By the way, Muggle items will become ineffective when they enter Hogwarts."
Higashino Yu turned around and saw several children trying to take out flashlights to illuminate the area.
But the darkness didn't affect him at all, he glanced at Hermione who was walking cautiously at the beginning, and after thinking for a while, he took out a lighter from his pocket.
As sparks flew from the friction between the grinding wheel and the flint, the flame on the lighter, although not big, still illuminated the road around.
"Eh? Didn't he just say that we can't use Muggle items? You..."
Looking at the lighter in Higashino Yu's hand, and then looking at Hagrid's back in front of her, Hermione's expression was particularly wonderful.
You just came up with this thing right after I said that. It's too quick to slap yourself in the face.
70. Arrival at Hogwarts
"To be precise, Hogwarts prohibits all electronic products, and my lighter does not fall into that category. Look, isn't his light just an ordinary flame?"
Pointing at Hagrid in front of him, Dong Yeyou smiled faintly.
"It seems...it's really..."
Looking at Hegran and then at Higashino Yu, Hermione also discovered that although the two had different carrying methods, their burning methods were the same.
The little wizards around Higashino Yuu couldn't help but exclaimed at the sudden light that appeared in front of them, and subconsciously moved towards him. Soon a group of people gathered around Higashino Yuu, and Hermione was squeezed so hard that she had to hold Higashino Yuu's arm and walked on the path with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Feeling the warmth emanating from the boy next to her, Miss Know-It-All, whose mind and body had already begun to develop, felt her face getting hot under the light of the fire, and her heartbeat quickened to 580.
At the same time, Hagrid, who was leading the way, also noticed the commotion behind him.
When he saw the lighter in Higashino Yu's hand, he was slightly stunned, but then he showed a gentle smile and raised the light in his hand to signal.
Hagrid is a good guy in the original book, so naturally he wouldn't feel slapped in the face or target anyone because of this incident.
"Turn this corner and you'll soon see Hogwarts for the first time."
Hagrid shouted from the front of the team.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of exclamations.
At the end of the narrow path is a black lake, and on the high hillside across the lake stands an ancient and majestic castle. The castle tower and the lighted windows seem to blend into the starry sky.
“Not having a camera with me was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life.”
Higashino Yu said while smacking his lips.
"Me too." Hermione beside her nodded in approval.
There were many small boats parked on the lake in front of them. Hagrid pointed at the boats and said loudly, "No more than four people can be on each boat."
Higashino Yu was the first to jump onto a boat, and politely extended his hand to help Hermione, whose face was still blushing, onto the boat. Then two more people got on the boat, one was Neville who had been following the two from the beginning, and the other was an unfamiliar blond boy.
"Are you all on board?"
Hagrid shouted loudly while sitting alone in a boat, and it seemed that his boat was about to sink at any time.
"Well, let's go ahead!"
Small boats moved steadily towards the castle on the calm lake.
The young wizards, who were experiencing this for the first time, had solemn expressions on their faces, their eyes fixed on the castle in front of them that seemed even larger and more majestic as the distance between them increased. When they approached the cliff where the castle was located, it felt as if the castle was hanging above their heads.
"Do you know why each boat can only carry four people?"
Higashino Yuu asked Hermione while looking around.
"This... don't you know?"
Hermione looked at him sideways. Although she had read "A History of Hogwarts", there was no record of them taking a boat.
"I'm not so sure either."
