Chapter 5

When he got out of the car, the cold at night made Neville unconsciously shrink his neck, looked at Klein who had changed his robe beside him, and he couldn't help but say.

"Klein, aren't you cold at all?"

"You know, Neville, the key to keeping yourself cold is to pretend to be warm. This is a psychological skill. You can also try it."

He opened his mouth slowly. Klein still had a calm expression. He didn't seem to be troubled by the cold air at all.

"Really?"

With a surprised look on his face, Neville believed Klein's words without reservation.

But the truth is that no matter how he mutters "not cold", his body is still shaking.

"Well, it's a joke. The reason I'm not cold is because I wear an extra layer of close fitting shirt."

Although it is interesting to deceive honest people, it will inevitably produce a sense of guilt. Looking at the stupid and cute appearance of the little fat man, Klein was stabbed by his little conscience and told the other party the truth.

"Klein!"

When he learned that he had been cheated, Neville screamed and widened his round eyes.

Not so angry. In fact, he was very happy that Klein was willing to joke with himself.

”All right, are you all off the bus? Assemble and come here. "

Suddenly, a dull voice came from the front of the team. The bearded and burly man shook from side to side holding a lantern in an attempt to attract everyone's attention.

"I'm here to pick you up. Are there any freshmen who haven't got off? No? Good, come with me! By the way, watch your feet!"

Hogwarts game keeper ruber Hagrid looked very happy. While greeting the freshmen, he hummed an unknown tune.

Out of the dark and cold platform, there are dense ancient trees everywhere outside. It's quiet and scary.

"Oh, attention, it's a little hard to go here."

Hagrid shook his lantern and took the lead in walking into a steep and narrow path. The people hurried to keep up, stumbling and sliding all the way. Soon, they had just changed their robes and were stuck with wet mud and dew.

"I hate this road."

Neville sniffed and murmured. A protruding Bush had just scratched his socks.

"Hold on, I think we should not be far from the school."

There was a trace of helplessness on his face, and Klein comforted each other softly.

Sure enough, the moment he spoke, Hagrid's loud voice rang again.

"Hogwarts is here!"

"Wow ~"

After all, the young girls who were young and tired just now suddenly recovered their vitality. They ran to the end of the path and couldn't wait to look into the distance - a castle stood on the other side of the huge black lake, with spires and windows shining under the stars.

"Hogwarts."

Klein muttered to himself, with some expectation in his eyes.

This castle will be his new starting point.

"Well, there's plenty of time to surprise you when you enter the castle. Now get on the ship!"

Hagrid pointed to a group of boats moored by the lake and said loudly.

"There can't be more than four people in a boat. Hurry up, you little guys."

Klein and Neville found a boat at random and sat down safely. They were accompanied by a black boy named Dean and a little girl who didn't talk much.

"Are you all aboard?"

Hagrid toured the shore, found no one left, and shouted in his own loud voice.

"Let's go!"

A group of boats full of students immediately drove forward and cut through the calm lake.

After driving over the cliffs and through the vines, Hogwarts became bigger and bigger in the eyes of people. Finally, the ancient castle seemed to stand directly overhead, which was amazing.

"Well, here we are."

After getting off the ship from a place similar to an underground wharf, Hagrid took a group of little guys onto the ground paved with gravel and pebbles. Through the hidden tunnel, through the wet lawn and several stone steps, they gathered in front of a huge oak door.

"Bang bang."

He raised his huge fist and knocked three times on the wooden door. Hagrid turned around and showed a sincere and happy smile.

"Welcome to Hogwarts."

"Squeak ~"

The wooden door opened and out came a tall and thin witch wearing a turquoise robe and a pointed hat with a very serious look.

"Professor McGonagall, these are freshmen."

Before the woman could speak, Hagrid lowered his head and seemed to respect each other very much.

"Thank you, Hagrid. Leave it to me next."

Professor McGonagall nodded slightly and opened the oak gate to reveal the interior of the castle - the stone wall was covered with flaming torches, the ceiling was almost invisible, and the front was a luxurious marble step leading to the upstairs.

"Then come with me."

Without a word, she turned and walked into the castle.

Teenagers and girls also crowded in, rubbing shoulders and heels together, looking at them curiously and seeing everything around them.

"This way."

Professor McGonagall did not let the people stop in the hall, but directly took them to a small empty room. There were four flags hanging in the room, which were the patterns of lion, snake, eagle and badger. It looked very old.

"Children, welcome to Hogwarts. The school banquet will begin soon, but you have to decide which college you want to enter before entering the restaurant.

The branch is a very important ceremony, because when you are in school, the college is your home in Hogwarts. You have to take classes with other students in the college, stay in the dormitory of the college, and spend your spare time in the public lounge of the college. "

After a pause, Professor McGonagall pointed to the flags and began to introduce the four colleges in Hogwarts.

"The names of the four colleges are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

Each college has its own glorious history and has cultivated outstanding male and female wizards. During your study in Hogwarts, your outstanding performance will win points for your college, and any violation will reduce points for your college.

At the end of the year, the college with the highest score can win the College Cup, which is a high honor. I hope you can win glory for the college no matter which college you are assigned to.

In a few minutes, the branch ceremony will be held in front of all the teachers and students of the school. I suggest you tidy yourself up and cheer up while waiting. "

With that, her eyes stayed on Neville's robe for a while, which made the little fat man very nervous.

"I'll pick you up when you're ready. And please keep quiet."

Leaving a word, Professor McGonagall left the room.

"Hoo ~"

Neville took a long breath and finally relaxed.
