Chapter 156

October 30, a sunny Friday.

Just like today's weather, the smiles on the faces of Hogwarts students have hardly stopped since early morning. Even in the air, there seems to be a joy called "expectation".

In class, no one listened attentively - even Hermione was absent-minded, and everyone thought that booth Barton and demstrom were coming tonight.

Probably because we have to finish class half an hour in advance, even the most unbearable potion class on weekdays doesn't seem to be so difficult.

When the bell rang early, Harry, Ron and Hermione hurried to the Gryffindor tower, put down their schoolbags and textbooks, put on their cloaks, and then rushed down the stairs and walked quickly to the auditorium.

In the hall, the dean of each college is directing the students of their own college to form a welcoming team.

Professor McGonagall still looked serious and methodical; The little professor flavy jumped from time to time to flatten the folds of one of Ravenclaw's students' clothes; Professor Snape, as always, is indifferent, and it is said that he seems to have a worse temper recently.

It is worth mentioning that Professor sprott of hatch patch college seems a little depressed, although she still does her every duty.

"Marca is gone, Professor spraot seems very sad..." Hermione looked at her from a distance and subconsciously bit her lip. "That bad guy is really annoying!"

"What are you talking about?" asked Ron, who stood behind, a little strangely, after taking two steps forward.

Hermione gave him a white look and turned her head.

"Nothing!" she said angrily.

Ron looked at Harry inexplicably and wondered, "what did I do wrong... Shouldn't I ask?"

Harry shrugged to show that he didn't know.

Obviously, when Hermione couldn't find anyone to vent for a while, Ron came up by himself. Who can blame?

"Please follow me," said Professor McGonagall. "The first grade students are in front... Don't crowd..."

The little wizards lined up down the steps and stood neatly in front of the castle.

It was almost nightfall, the sun was completely below the horizon, and the sky was being swallowed up by the night. A hazy and white moon has hung over the forbidden forest.

The weather has been very cold recently. The temperature has dropped rapidly. Everyone feels a little cold. But fortunately, the air here is still so fresh that people can't help but want to take two more breaths.

Harry stood between Ron and Hermione, and soon the door was opened from inside.

A boy in a light blue robe jumped out of the carriage, bent down and fumbled on the floor of the carriage. Then a golden spiral ladder was opened.

He jumped back respectfully, and everyone saw a shiny black high-heeled shoe sticking out of the carriage - it was as big as a children's sleigh!

The next moment, a super big woman matching the shoe got out of the carriage. If anyone can compare with this woman, it's obviously Hagrid.

Dumbledore began to clap and the students clapped their hands. Many people stood on tiptoe, trying to see the woman more clearly.

Her face relaxed and burst into an elegant smile.

Then she held out a shining hand and walked towards Dumbledore. Although Dumbledore was also tall, he hardly had to bend down when kissing this hand.

"Dear Mrs. maxim," said Dumbledore, "welcome to Hogwarts."

"Dumbledore," said Mrs. maxim in a low voice, "I hope you are all right."

"Very well, thank you." Dumbledore said politely.

"My student," said Mrs. maxim, waving carelessly behind her with a huge hand.

At this time, everyone who looked away from her noticed that about twelve or three boys and girls had got off the carriage and were standing behind Mrs. Maxim.

From their appearance, they were about eighteen or nine years old, and each one was trembling slightly.

It is not surprising to say that they will feel cold. For their robes seemed to be made of exquisite silk, and no one wore a cloak. Several students wrapped their heads in scarves or headscarves.

"Is kakarov here?" asked Mrs. Maxim.

"He'll come any minute, you are..." said Dumbledore, suddenly turning his head. "Oh, it seems that he has arrived."

The little wizards who were listening to Mrs. Maxim's conversation with Dumbledore immediately looked in the direction Dumbledore looked.

Soon, everyone heard a loud and strange voice floating towards them from the dark.

It seems to be a suppressed rumble and bubbling sound, like a huge vacuum cleaner moving along the river bed

"At the bottom of the lake!" a student pointed to the lake and said, "look at the lake!"

Needless to say, everyone has already seen it.

Standing on the slope overlooking the lawn of the site, we can clearly see the calm black water.

At this time, the lake suddenly became no longer calm.

There was a commotion under the water in the middle of the lake, and huge waves surged on the water, pushing the Lake wave after wave on the shore.

Then, right in the middle of the lake, a big vortex appeared, as if some terrible water monster was greedily swallowing and sucking the cold water in the lake.

Suddenly, something like a long black pole suddenly rose from the vortex. It seemed to be a strong sea ship mast.

As if to confirm everyone's conjecture, a large ship broke through the water and slowly emerged in everyone's sight.

It looks very strange. The keel of the ship is slightly protruding, just like the skeleton of a giant creature. The whole ship looked old and gloomy, as if it was the remains of a sunken ship just salvaged, and even a glimmer of light could not be seen in the porthole

Just when everyone thought that the ship would come to the shore in their direction, a small figure suddenly flew up from the ship's deck and rushed straight at a slow speed.

"That's --"

Harry, Ron and Hermione were surprised, but not far from them, Luna showed a pure smile.
