The sky was getting into the dusk, Malfoy glanced out of the window unintentionally, and saw a mountain and woods under the deep purple sky. The train gradually slowed down.
The train will arrive at Hogwarts in another five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the car and we will take it to school for you. "The voice echoed on the train.
"Finally coming." Hearing this voice, a strange emotion rose from Malfoy's heart, with a little confusion in excitement, perhaps the most authentic portrayal of his heart.
The train slowed down and finally stopped. The passengers shoved and shoved towards the door of the car and descended onto a dark and small platform. Malfoy put the book back in the suitcase and joined the crowd.
"His." Malfoy could not help but take a breath. The temperature outside the car is not high.
"First-year freshman! First-year freshman comes here, be careful of your feet." An abnormally tall man is maintaining order, with a thick beard on his face.
"It is estimated that he really has giant blood." Malfoy looked at Hagrid silently.
Then the new students followed Hagrid and slipped, stumbling, and seemed to go down a steep and narrow path. It was dark on both sides of the path.
"Turning this corner, you will see Hogwarts for the first time soon." Hagrid shouted back. Then came a burst of bright "Oh!" A narrow lake suddenly unfolded at the end of the narrow path. On the high hillside across the lake stood a towering castle with spires on it, and a window shimmering under the stars.
"This is Hogwarts." Malfoy stared at the scene in front of him. Unlike the gloomy atmosphere of the Malfoy family's private estate, Hogwarts shows a sense of history. The ancient bricks and mottled stone walls all highlight the school's long history.
"Each boat can't exceed four people!" Hagrid said loudly, pointing to a small boat moored on the shore.
"Pancy!" Malfoy saw Pansy in the crowd and shouted. It's better to take a boat with Pansy than some strangers.
"Hum!" Pansy saw a dissatisfied expression on Malfoy's face, and without looking back, he got into another boat first.
"Where did I offend her again?" Malfoy shook his head, still wondering why Pansy's attitude towards himself changed again.
"Wait for her later." Malfoy thought, stepping on a small boat at will.
"Are you all on board?" Hagrid yelled, taking a boat by himself. "That's good to go forward!" A team of boats immediately drove across the flat lake and faced forward. Everyone was silent, staring at the huge castle high in the sky. As they approached the cliff where the castle was, the castle seemed to stand above them. "Head down!" Hagrid shouted loudly as the first boats approached the cliff. Everyone lowered their heads, and the boat carried them through the ivy tent covering the front of the cliff to the secret open entrance. They seemed to reach the underground of the castle along a dark tunnel, and finally reached a place similar to an underground pier, and then climbed up a gravel and small pebble ground.
Malfoy and a group of students got off the boat one after another.
"Thank Merlin!" Neville suddenly shouted ecstatically with his arms outstretched, and Neville found his Leif on an empty ship.
"I think you must have found your toad." Malfoy stood behind Neville and said.
"Really, thank you very much." Neville stuttered a little, although there may be some.
"Since we found it, let's go." Ma Erfu glanced around, but unfortunately did not see Pansy.
Under the light of the Hagrid Lantern, the freshmen climbed a tunnel in the rock, and finally reached a flat and damp grass in the shadow of the castle.
Everyone climbed a stone stairway and gathered in front of a huge oak door. Hagrid raised a huge fist and knocked three times at the castle gate.
The door immediately opened.
"Thank you, Hagrid." A tall dark-haired witch in an emerald green robe stood in front of the gate with a serious expression.
Afterwards, Professor McGonagall first brought the freshmen to a small house. The house was very small. When people crowded in, the small house seemed more crowded.
"Welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall said. "The school banquet is about to begin, but before you enter the restaurant, you first need to determine which college you each enter. The classification is a It's a very important ceremony, because when you are in school, the college is like your home in Hogwarts. You have to take classes with other students in the college, stay together in the college's dormitory, and spend time together in the college's common room. After school time.
Professor McGonagall introduced new students to the four colleges, certain matters of the branch schools and certain rules of the school, such as the extra points between the colleges and deductions, the college cup and other matters.
Harry and Ron whispered, looking nervous. He thought he would do a test of magic, and Hermione kept carrying the spells she had learned.
By comparison, Malfoy was a little absent-minded. In his eyes, the branch was not as important as finding Pansy and asking what was going on.
"I found you." Malfoy glanced around and finally saw the figure of Pansy. She was talking and laughing with a few girls next to her.
The space is too small, and Malfoy can only squeeze out from the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, can you interrupt your conversation?" Malfoy walked to Pansy and said, "I think I and my friends have some misunderstandings and need clarification. Will you do me a favor." Then Malfoy slightly He owed him an impeccable courtesy.
"Pansi, I'm looking for you. The little boyfriend is so handsome. We won't bother you." A few girls next to me joked, obviously not convinced of the misunderstanding of Malfoy.
"I have nothing to say with him," Pansy said coldly.
"I'm really angry, then I need to coax it even more." The girl next to him continued to tease, and then went to the other side, creating conditions for Malfoy and Pansy to be alone.
"I think at least I should first know what I'm wrong, isn't it." Malfoy asked first.
Pan Xi bulged his cheeks for a while and then said: "In the car, you don't know how to come to me actively, do you know how boring I am in the car?"
"Uh..." Malfoy was a little slurred, obviously he didn't really think so much.
"Look, you obviously just forgot me." Seeing Malfoy's unnatural expression, Pansy apparently guessed the truth.
"I also went to other cars to find you on purpose." Pansy's voice was suddenly lower, but it could still be heard.
"Right, maybe you just think I'm bothering to hide from me, otherwise I won't be able to find you." Pansy seemed to think of something, and suddenly his voice grew louder again.
"Look, the privileged retribution is coming." Malfoy groaned in pain, and obviously Pansy only found the normal compartment. The special was obviously ignored by her.
"Then I will blame my dad." Malfoy quickly dropped the pot. He said beside Pansy; "It's all the places my father arranged for me. I don't know if you will come to me." Malfoy explained.
"Even if you didn't hide from me, you must have forgotten me." Pansy refused.
"Right!" Malfoy seemed to think of something.
"I used to help Neville find the toad, which is the Neville of the Longbottom family." Malfoy said: "You know, my father always wants me to have a good relationship with other people. The Longbottom family is also pure blood. , I can't ignore him."
"That little fat man is a bit stupid, but is that toad more important than me?" Pansy asked again.
"This question is more difficult to answer." Malfoy thought, his face more embarrassed.
There was a silence.
"No, I can't help it anymore." Pansy, who was still frosting just now, suddenly chuckled.
"Huh?" Malfoy clearly hadn't understood what happened. I saw the girl who was with Panxi before was also eating and laughing.
"I have known for a long time that you nerd must not think so much. The expression just now is very interesting and much more fun than usual."
At this time, Malfoy didn't know where he was tricked by Pansy and her friends.
"It has always been the appearance of the little gentleman, it looks fake, now it's finally a bit different."
Pansy suddenly approached Malfoy and said: "The last time I threatened you, you were so calm. I was still anxious today. It seems that I am still very important in your heart. I am very happy. This rewards you." Finally, Pansy tipped her toes and kissed Malfoy's forehead like a dragonfly.
The girl next to me saw a coax. Pan Xi's face was also covered with Hongxia.
"This is really..." Malfoy can only sigh that he has provoked a little witch, although this feeling is not bad.
"Please keep quiet while you wait!" McGonagall seemed to find the commotion here, and said seriously, then left the room.
"Ah!" The girls who just laughed suddenly screamed, and mixed with the voices of many boys.
Malfoy looked back, and suddenly only twenty ghosts sprang out on the wall he saw. These pearly white, translucent ghosts glide across the room, whispering to each other.
"No entity, thinking, translucent, and visually non-aggressive. It seems that these creatures are probably all of these characteristics." Unlike the terrified reaction of everyone, Malfoy took a closer look, and soon appeared to the present. Ghost of the United States summarized several characteristics. Perhaps this is the characteristic of Xueba.
Professor McGonagall is back. The ghosts fluttered through the opposite wall and disappeared. "Now, line up," Professor McGonagall said to the first-year freshman. "Follow me."
Malfoy just wanted to leave, and found that his sleeves were ripped. I saw Pan Xi looking at herself with tears in her eyes.
"Don't pretend, I know I didn't scare you. You haven't been to these places in my house before." Malfoy took out Pansy mercilessly. After getting along with each other, of course, it's not limited to Malfoy telling stories. Pansy, who is adventurous by nature, pulls Malfoy to many secret rooms in the manor. Ghosts have never been seen before. How could a family that has been passing on for so many years not have a few ghosts.
"I was just saying that you were a little bit interesting just now. It's the same as before, and it's boring." Pan Xi pouted and restored his normal expression, as if nothing happened. Obviously dissatisfied with Malfoy's response.
They walked out of the room with the crowd and came to a luxurious restaurant.
All the students in other classes of the college have been sitting around four long tables. Thousands of candles floating in the sky above the table illuminate the restaurant. On four tables were shining gold plates and goblets. There is another long table on the first table in the restaurant, which is the seat of the teachers.
Professor McGonagall took the first-year freshmen to the other side, facing the senior students in a row, with the teachers behind them. The candlelight was swaying, and hundreds of faces watching them looked like pale lanterns. The ghosts were also intermingled among the students with a glimmer of silver.
Malfoy looked up to the ceiling, and saw a flicker of stars on the velvety black ceiling.
It's hard to believe that there is really a ceiling on it
"How can I consolidate a spell in a certain range?" Unlike other people's wonder, Malfoy fell into deeper thinking.
Professor McGonagall gently put a four-legged stool in front of the first-year freshman, and then put a top wizard hat on the stool. The hat is patched, worn out and dirty.
The restaurant was silent.
Then, the hat twisted. There was a wide slit in the edge of the hat, like a mouth-the hat began to sing:
"You may think that I am not pretty,
But don't judge people by their appearance.
If you can find a hat that is more beautiful than me,
I can eat myself.
You can make your bowler hat black and oily,
Make your high-top silk cap smooth and straight.
I am the magic hat for Hogwarts test,
is naturally superior to your hat.
Any thought hidden in your mind,
can't escape the magic eyes of the magic hat.
Put it on and try it,
I will tell you which college you should be assigned to.
You may belong to Gryffindor, where there is bravery buried in the heart,
Their courage, courage and boldness make Gryffin superior;
You may belong to Hufflepuff, the people there are upright and loyal,
Hufflepuff students are persevering and honest, not afraid of hard work;
If you are savvy, you might enter the wise old Ravenclaw,
Those who are wise and knowledgeable will always meet their fellows there;
Maybe you will enter Stirling, maybe you make sincere friends here,
But those cunning and insidious people will do whatever it takes to achieve their purpose.
Come and wear me! Don't be afraid! Don't panic!
in my hands (although I don't even have one hand) you are absolutely safe
Because I am a thinking hat!"
After the hat sang the song, the audience applauded thunderously. It bowed to the four dining tables one by one and then stood still.
At this time, Professor McGonagall walked forward, holding a roll of parchment in his hand. "Whoever I call the name, I put on a hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the branch." She said, "Han Na Aibo!"
A little girl with a ruddy complexion and two golden tresses stumbled out of the queue, putting on a hat, which just covered her eyes. She sat down. Pause for a moment-"Hufflepuff!" the hat shouted.
The people at the table on the right applauded Hannah and welcomed her to sit at their table.
Each new student stepped forward and put on a hat, accepting the choice made by the branch cap for them. Of course, this is not all right. The branch cap actually follows my own inner will. The branch cap can make its own suggestions, but if I insist on a certain college in my life and death, the branch cap will not violate my will.
For example, when Harry Potter was in the branch, he always thought: "Don't go to Slytherin, not Slytherin." Although the branch hat may be more inclined to go to Slytherin, he still respected Harry's choice.
As for Neville, who may seem unconventional, what the branch cap looks at is his inner quality.
Obviously, the sorting cap is still very accurate. In the original world line, Neville showed a remarkable courage of Gryffindor.
Then Hermione, Neville, and were all assigned to Gryffindor.
"Draco Malfoy" Professor McGonagall said.
"The soul is no longer a person, will the result change?" Malfoy's heart was no longer as calm as he behaved at this time, but was caught in thought.
Malfoy slowly walked out of the queue while thinking, and put on a branch cap it is was not like the original: "The hat screamed as soon as it touched his head: "Slytherin! ""
The branch cap fell into thought, and soon a voice appeared in Malfoy's ear.
"Ravenclaw, absolute Ravenclaw, I have been working for so long and have never seen a child with such a strong curiosity. I think the knowledge you have now will allow you to graduate directly. Raven Crow is right for you, isn't it?"
"Oh, no!" Malfoy felt that the hat seemed to shake on his head.
"Hidden ambitions, what kind of hot ambitions are hidden under the curiosity of knowledge? Knowledge is only the means necessary for your purpose. Your purpose is not the knowledge itself. After so many years, I almost saw it Eyes gone."
"Slytherin!" Finally, the sorting hat gave his answer.
"Is this destiny?" Malfoy smiled, then walked to Slytherin's table and sat beside Pansy.
He didn't notice the complex expression of Hermione in the crowd.
"Ron is right, he is really a Slytherin, right, what is it really, can he be judged as a wicked man by this?" Hermione struggled inwardly, obviously what Malfoy said before She was greatly touched.
"To be honest, I thought you nerd was going to Ravenclaw." Pansy said.
"Then my parents must not strip me alive." Malfoy said exaggeratedly.
"That's really interesting." Pansy seemed to think of the scene and giggled.
Suddenly, a wave of cheers resounded throughout the restaurant. Weasley's twin brothers shouted loudly: "We have Potter! We have Potter!"
"It seems that our savior classmates are really charming." Malfoy couldn't help but sigh.
"It's just good luck." Pansy pouted, apparently dissatisfied with the so-called "savior" and went to the lion's house. In her eyes this glory should only appear in Slytherin.
With the last Brieschabini was assigned to Slytherin. Professor McGonagall rolled up the parchment and took the branch cap away.
A tall, thin old man stood up.
Malfoy silently looked at the old man in the crowd.
Long hooked nose interrupted at least twice, wearing half-moon-shaped glasses, a pair of blue sharp eyes, long silver-white beard, silver-white waist-length hair. This is Dumbledore, the greatest contemporary wizard!
Dumbledore said: "Welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before the banquet, I would like to say a few words. That is: stupid! Crying nose! Residue! Twist! "Thank you all!" He renewed Sit down. Everyone applauded and cheered.
Then all the students began to enjoy the food in front of them.
"Who would eat mints at dinner!" Malfoy couldn't help being speechless. Obviously Hogwarts once again refreshed the lower limit of British cuisine.
Difficult to end this dinner, Malfoy heard various versions of the school songs of various schools of various schools. As long as you want, you can sing school songs with various tunes. The twins of the Weasley family even used "Funeral March", and Dumbledore used the magic wand to direct the last few bars for them.
"Slytherin's freshmen follow me." After the party, the senior will take the freshmen to find their respective bedrooms.
Following the leader, the freshmen of Slytherin descended many stairs and finally came to the common room.
Behind an empty, wet stone wall is a long, low basement. The walls and ceiling are made of rough stone. The round, green light is chained from the ceiling. Hang down.
The giant snake carving on the door made a hissing sound: "Password?"
"Pure blood." The grade leader replied. Then I said to the freshmen in the back: "Remember this password, I don't want anyone to sleep in the aisle. Of course, I am not worried about whether you will catch a cold, but if I think no one will be willing to let the college be deducted points."
"Yes." The team answered neatly.
"It seems that the binding of honor can make a Slytherin obey more than the order," Malfoy thought of it silently.
entered the room. Malfoy glanced at the fireplace here, and unconsciously compared it with his home, and came to a conclusion: "It seems that Hogwarts is short of education funds."
Of course, this is just a joke-like idea.
Nothing happened afterwards. Malfoy found his bedroom, put the luggage he had sent, and went to bed. Ended the day's journey.
"The exciting college life is finally beginning." This was Malfoy's last consciousness before going to bed.
