time at hogwarts

The little wizards who got off the train looked at the slightly frozen platform and looked at them sideways. It was still summer.They didn't feel it on the train. When they got off the train, they realized that the temperature outside was really low. Coupled with the pouring rain, their already depressed mood due to the dementors became even more depressed.

Many young wizards hurriedly picked up their luggage and walked to the platform. They saw the burly Hagrid put his hands in a circle and loudly told them to divide into teams according to their grades.

Then he saw Harry and the others nodding to them and taking the somewhat panicked first years on their traditional trip across the lake.

"I hate rainy days." After watching Hagrid and the others leave, Ron complained with his wand to block the rain.

"I don't think many people will like this kind of weather. Let's be lucky. If we weren't wizards, we would definitely become drowned rats." Magos, who was following the army, looked at Luna, who was being supported by Hermione, and saw her expression. There is some whitishness, and it seems that the sequelae have not been completely eliminated.

After walking along the muddy path for a while they saw an extremely long row of wooden carts parked on the road.

"How do they move?" Hermione watched the little wizard at the front get on the wooden car, and the car started to drive automatically.

"Maybe it's magic." Ron said uncertainly.

"Maybe it's a magical animal that we can't see pulling the cart, an invisible horse?" Harry guessed boldly, seeing that the shape of the wooden cart was almost exactly the same as the carriage.

"Anything is possible." Magos smiled.

Soon it was their turn, but the space in the wooden cart was limited, only enough for three people to sit in it. Hermione and Luna sat on the wooden cart at the back.

The smell inside the car was not very good, with a musty smell, which made Magos maliciously wonder if it had been left there for a long time. Then because of the heavy rain, he suddenly remembered to take out these wooden cars for them to sit in.

While chatting with Harry Ron, he habitually looked out the window. Due to the heavy rain, the visibility was very low, and he could not see any buildings in Hogsmeade.

However, when passing through the magnificent cast-iron gate at the outermost edge of Hogwarts, he and the other two found two tall dementors with their faces covered standing guarding the gate.

"Why are they here?" Ron asked in surprise.

Harry seemed to have a shadow over the dementors and did not answer him. He looked away and no longer looked out the window.

As the wooden cart passed the iron gate, Magos seemed to feel that the Dementor's head moved slightly, but since it was only the last glimpse and the visibility was too low, it was very likely that he could be mistaken.

The wooden car slowly stopped in front of the castle. Magos and the others jumped out of the car and waited for Hermione and Luna to get off the car and were about to go in. At this time, Malfoy came over quickly with two followers.

"Hi Magos, hi Harry, I heard you fainted."

Harry was slightly embarrassed. He felt that everyone knew that he had been stunned.

Malfoy didn't take it seriously when Harry ignored him. After asking the two followers to stay away from him, he walked up to Magos and whispered that the incident during the summer vacation was quite interesting. He would remember it if there is such an interesting thing in the future. inform him.

Magos glanced at him and said, you were not unhappy before, why are you so brave now.Malfoy said nonchalantly that it was human nature to be a little nervous when facing a wild wizard for the first time, and he would definitely not do it next time.

"But I don't want to encounter it again. I almost died that time."

Malfoy thought of Magos and his courage to tell what happened that night was gradually disappearing. He laughed dryly and returned to the Slytherin team with his followers.

When they were about to reach the hall, Professor McGonagall suddenly came over and called Harry, Hermione and Luna away, and looked at Magos with a surprised look.

"Let's go, it has nothing to do with us." He pulled Ron, who also wanted to go, into the hall and walked to the long Gryffindor table to sit down.

"What would Professor McGonagall say to them? Why did you call Hermione?"

"You have to ask her about that." He said casually, looking at the sorting hats in front of the four colleges, and had the urge to put it on for a chat.

"Quiet." Dumbledore knocked on the silver cup in front of him.

Then he said loudly,

"The sorting ceremony begins."

With the warm applause of the little wizards, the freshmen walked in from outside the hall, their expressions were exactly the same as before.

"By the way, there's something I forgot to mention." Dumbledore said, drawing everyone's attention away from the new students.

"In view of the fact that a young wizard chatted with the Sorting Hat for too long, which made everyone hungry for a long time," he paused, and everyone looked at Magos and laughed kindly.

"So starting from this year, we announced a new school rule. You are not allowed to talk to the sorting hat for more than 5 minutes, otherwise you will be forced to sort."

This new school rule, which seemed confusing to the freshmen, made them even more nervous during the sorting. They almost didn't dare to answer the Sorting Hat. Fortunately, the Sorting Hat didn't really ask them. When they faced two people who met the requirements, When the characters of the academy are indecisive, wait a few seconds and it will help them make a choice.

As the sorting ceremony ended, Harry and the others walked in from outside the hall and sat at their respective houses' tables.

When Dumbledore saw that everyone had arrived, he stood up again and asked them to be quiet.

"Before the dinner starts, I have a few things to say. The first is about the search for dementors on the Hogwarts Express. I think you have all heard about it. Our school is currently hosting a number of Azkaban students. Dementors, they will be here to carry out the official duties of the Ministry of Magic."

The little wizards below looked at each other in shock when they heard the news. It related to the Ministry of Magic, and they didn't know whether the Ministry of Magic was right or wrong.

"The second one is also about Dementors. Since they will block all entrances and exits to Hogwarts, the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds course that was just launched last year will have some impact. But don't worry, I will seek permission from the Ministry of Magic to hold this course as usual. , but it will be delayed for about a month. In addition, I want to warn everyone here. Dementors are born not to understand what requests or excuses are, so don’t give them reasons and excuses to hurt you. Finally, it is strictly forbidden to actively provoke Dementors The monsters are disguised in front of them, and no one is allowed to leave the school without permission, even if they are wearing an invisibility cloak."

The last sentence was obviously meant for Harry and the others.

"In addition, our newly appointed President of the Boy's Student Union and President of the Girl's Student Union, you must ensure that no student will conflict with the dementors."

Percy and a lady stood up and nodded to the little wizards around them.

"The last thing to be happy about is that we will welcome two new professors. The first is Professor Lupin on my left. He will teach you Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Lupine stood up and signaled to everyone. Snape, who was at the end of the table, looked at him with a very unfriendly and undisguised look, which made most young wizards not very optimistic about the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.So the applause was not too enthusiastic, but Magos applauded him with all his strength.

After the applause stopped, Dumbledore introduced the second new professor.

"Professor Kettleburn has decided to resign as a teacher of Care of Magical Creatures due to age. His successor is Rubeus Hagrid, whom we are familiar with. Of course, you will need to call him Professor Hagrid from now on."
