My Understanding Is Incredible, I Built A Floating City In Hogwarts

The Thestral carriage walked all the way to the castle. Hermione suddenly mentioned something on the way: "Have you noticed that Hagrid doesn't seem to be here to welcome the new students this year?"

Luna blinked and guessed: "I remember that his course evaluation last year was not very good. Maybe he received too many complaints. Principal Dumbledore fired him? Maybe Dumbledore chose to let Professor Grubbly-Plank take over. His course. After all, Professor Grubbly-Plank took Hagrid’s class last semester, and everyone commented well.”

"This is impossible!" Harry from next door yelled again. He glared at Luna and said with certainty, "Professor Dumbledore will never fire Hagrid!"

"Hagrid's class is actually quite interesting. We all like him. Right?" Harry looked around, as if looking for supporters.

But everyone turned aside their heads tacitly, and no one responded to him.

"Oh, really? Then how many snails are you going to raise for fun this semester?" Luna said lightly.

Harry was suddenly speechless, and the expression on his face became awkward.

He recalled the chaos and thrills of raising snails last school year, and the scene of being frantically chased by a group of snails was still vivid in his mind.

He hesitated and said: "Well, that...maybe I won't keep it anymore."

Hermione also looked worried, but she was not worried that Hagrid would be caught in Azkaban for privately raising and transforming dangerous creatures, because if this happened

Onyxia will definitely tell them.

While everyone was talking about it, Levin revealed the final answer: "Actually, Hagrid didn't come to welcome the new baby, probably because he needed to visit his giant brother in the reserve occasionally."

"Giant?" Luna's silver eyes suddenly widened.

"Brother?" Hermione also felt a little unbelievable.

"Brother Giant." Levin nodded and said firmly, "Remember those giants I brought back during the summer vacation?"

"Oh, I remember it so well!" Zhang Qiu showed a frightened expression, "I was awakened by the deafening voices in the middle of the night, and then when I opened my eyes, I saw a lot of giants in my yard. I almost thought I'm having a nightmare."

"That's mainly because the Ural Mountains are too far away from the Yin Kingdom." Levin scratched his head in embarrassment, thinking that he needed to make a stopover. "

Compared with the [Portal] that spans space, the [Mansion Technique] anchored in a demiplane is more energy efficient.

It is indeed much easier to send the giants into your own home through [Mansion Technique] first, and then send them from Devon, where the tower is located, to the Isle of Man than to transport so many giants directly to the Isle of Man across four thousand kilometers. .

He paused and continued: "Anyway, among those giants, one is Hagrid's half-brother.

"Hagrid actually has a giant half-brother!"

This news was like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the carriage, but it did explain why Hagrid was not at Hogwarts.

The Thestral carriage slowly drove into Hogwarts and finally stopped in front of the castle.

Harry jumped out of the carriage eagerly, nodded to them hastily, turned and ran to the hall, eager to go to Ronald to share what he had just seen and heard.

In the foyer, the flames of the torches flickered and danced, illuminating the entire space red. The footsteps of students echoed in the empty foyer, accompanied by occasional whispers.

They crossed the stone-paved ground and walked toward the two doors on the right leading to the auditorium, where the opening banquet was held.

In the auditorium, four long academic tables were neatly arranged.

Above the dining table, slender candles floated in the air, emitting a soft light. It looks like stars, contrasting with the magic ceiling covered with cumulonimbus clouds.

Entering the Great Hall, Levin separated from Hermione and Ginny.

He, Zhang Qiu and Luna came to Ravenclaw's long table, and the eaglets reserved the seat where he used to sit for them.

After taking his seat, Levin's attention turned to the faculty bench. seats. He saw Dolores Umbridge sitting next to Dumbledore. She looked like a senior girl, short and fat, with short curly ash-brown hair and a very ugly big pink bow on it. It matched the fluffy pink cardigan she wore outside her robe, and it all looked a bit nondescript.

Professor Dumbledore wore a dark purple robe studded with silver stars and a matching hat, sitting on a golden high-backed chair. He tilted his head slightly, listening to Professor Umbridge's whisper, with a faint smile on his face.

It was obvious that both of them were extremely annoyed with each other, but they both put on a harmonious appearance. Those who didn’t know it thought their relationship was so good.

When Professor Grubbly-Plank sat on the huge wooden chair where Hagrid usually sat, Levin's eyes turned to the direction of the foyer.

Now that Professor Grubbly-Plank has appeared, it means that the first-year students must have passed Blackbeard and come to the castle.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, the heavy wooden door leading to the hall slowly opened. With the creaking sound of the door shaft, a group of first-year students who looked frightened entered the auditorium under the guidance of Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall held a quaint wooden stool in his hand, with an old wizard's hat placed on the stool.

The hat had gone through many vicissitudes of life, with patches piled on top of each other, and the edges were frayed. A wide crack beside the brim seemed to tell the story of its long history.

With the arrival of the new students, the originally buzzing conversation in the auditorium gradually weakened and eventually became quiet.

All eyes were focused on this group of freshmen, who lined up neatly in front of the staff table, facing classmates from other grades.

Professor McGonagall carefully placed the stool in front of the freshmen, then stepped aside.

Under the candlelight, the face of the first-year student looked particularly pale.

Most of them pursed their lips nervously. Gabrielle looked very calm, but her clenched fists revealed her inner nervousness.

The members of the Genius Club all abide by the traditions of the wizarding world tacitly, and no one revealed to Gabrielle how the Sorting Hat sorted the houses.

While waiting outside the auditorium, Gabrielle heard a lot of rumors among the young wizards: those young wizards who were about to be sorted were speculating on what kind of mysterious test they were about to face. All kinds of unreliable ideas passed between them, getting more and more weird, making Gabrielle feel even more uneasy.

At this moment, the old hat placed on the stool suddenly opened its mouth and began to sing its newly composed song.

The Sorting Hat's song is different every semester. Both the lyrics and the melody are the same every year. The only thing they have in common is that they are equally unpleasant.

However, this year’s song is extraordinarily different. It sings:

...The lessons of history give us a warning that our Hogwarts is facing danger, and enemies outside the school are eyeing it. We must be closely united within ourselves, otherwise everything will fall apart from within..." "..."

In short, the general idea is that Gryffindor and Slytherin are half-brothers, and their friendship is stronger than gold.

Or, Ravenclaw, her two useless men, and her foodie good sister Hufflepuff create a great magic academy together.

Then the topic changed, and it told everyone how the four giants had differences and left Hogwarts one after another.

Finally, the Sorting Hat also told a story about a wand that is easy to break, but a wand that keeps breaking.

——But Levin felt that if Hagrid was here, the Sorting Hat would never dare to say such a thing.

If it were the kind of wooden wand made by Ollivander, let alone ten, even if there were one or two more, Hagrid would be able to break it.

Of course, the fairy silver wand made by Wancheng Duwen is another story.

In short, the Sorting Hat's intention is good, probably that everyone can unite as one and achieve an unbreakable friendship. Only in this way can Hogwarts overcome all difficulties and continue to stand firm.

When the Sorting Hat finished singing his newly composed song, the auditorium suddenly burst into applause against his will. No one wanted to hear his ugly song again.

Different from usual, this time the applause was mixed with many whispers, and many people showed surprised expressions like Levin - usually, the Sorting Hat's song mainly describes the qualities valued by the four houses of Gwarts. And its task of sorting students into different schools, but this time, it gave unprecedented advice to the school.

But when Professor McGonagall began to announce the list of first-year students, everyone's attention was immediately attracted, and the buzz in the auditorium suddenly disappeared.

Everyone listened attentively, for fear of missing any name.

As the lists were announced one by one, the long team of first-year freshmen was gradually shortened (Dehao Zhao). All four colleges had accepted freshmen one after another. At the very back,

Wencai heard Professor McGonagall mention Gabrielle's name.

Gabrielle stepped forward with very steady steps, no nervous or panic expression on her face.

".々Look, everyone, this is Beauxbatons Fleur's sister. She also came with her last semester." Levin introduced to the Ravenclaw classmates, "She liked it very much here at the time, so she came from Beauxbatons this year. Transferred to Hogwarts."

Gabrielle was already sitting on the stool. She took a deep breath and put the sorting hat on her head.

Unlike the previous little wizards who were quickly determined by the Sorting Hat, this time the Sorting Hat seemed to have been deep in thought for a long time, seeming to be exploring something in Gabrielle's mind.

After a long time, the slit beside the brim of the Sorting Hat slowly opened and loudly announced: "Slytherin!"

This announcement immediately caused a sensation in the auditorium, and the Slytherins headed by Malfoy burst into enthusiastic cheers and applause.

However, Gabrielle didn't seem to be satisfied with this result. She dragged her heavy steps and reluctantly walked to the Slytherins' table. Along the way, she kept looking pitifully at Levin sitting at the Ravenclaw dining table.

Pictured is the Hogwarts version of Gabrielle.
