Reborn at Hogwarts

Chapter 20 Black Lake

When George Weasley asked this sentence, Ivan noticed that not only his twin brother Fred, but also the Asian girl who had been sitting quietly on the edge of the seat before turned her head away, She looked at him in bewilderment.

Apparently, this Potions professor who suddenly appeared on the train, said a few words inexplicably, and then left abruptly caused a bit of doubt and fear to the freshmen who had just entered school...

You ask me, I ask who... I also want to know how the diary is under the bed...

Ivan muttered in his heart.

Facing the questions from his twin brother and Qiu Zhang, he thought for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "I've never met Professor Snape before, he should be my father's former friend."

This answer was undoubtedly not approved by the three of them, but although they had doubts in their hearts, it was difficult to ask. After all, Ivan is also a rare friend for the twin brothers who can understand their thoughts, and Qiu · Zhang Ze never talked to Ivan at all, they were just strangers sitting in the same box.

There was no words all the way, the train continued to gallop north, the rain became heavier and heavier, the windows turned a watery gray, and gradually darkened. Not long after, the lights in the aisle and on the luggage racks came on, the train clanged, the raindrops slapped, and the wind howled outside the windows.

Ivan put the book away, and leaned against the window to play wizard chess with the twins, while chewing on the snacks he had just bought from the salesman.

Qiu Zhang felt a little uncomfortable under the flickering light, so he simply closed his eyes and rested his mind.

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train, and we will send you to school."

Finally, after Ivan was about to lose his last pack of chocolate frogs to the twin brothers, the announcement that the train was about to arrive at the station sounded.

"Okay, okay, let's stop playing, it's time to change clothes!" Ivan quickly grabbed the chocolate frog from the suitcase that was laid on the ground and used it as a table, and stuffed it into it amidst the protests of the twin brothers. mouth.

Hearing this, Qiu Zhang suddenly became restless.

Only then did Ivan remember that there was another lady in the box, and he couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment. He pulled the twin brothers by their arms and pulled them out of the box, then whispered to Qiu Zhang, "Let us know when we're done." Then he closed the door.

The twin brothers looked at him inexplicably.

"What are we doing out there?" Fred asked.

"We haven't changed into our uniforms yet," said George.

Ivan shook his head, and didn't bother to pay attention to these two insensitive guys. He just dragged them away from the door and leaned against the window in the corridor.

After a while, the door of the box opened, and Qiu Zhang, who had already changed into her school uniform, came out with a blushing face, and whispered to the three who were fighting for a pack of Bibi Douwei Dou, "Come in."

After saying this, she lowered her head and walked quickly to the car door without looking at the reaction of the three of them.

The twin brothers looked at each other.

"She's kind of weird, isn't she?"

"What do you think, Ivan?"

Ivan pushed the two of them into the box, "I think we should change into school uniforms first."

...

When Ivan got off the bus, the dark and small platform was already crowded with students, and rain stars fell from the dark night sky. Everyone was looking for anything that could shelter from the rain, and the scene was chaotic for a while. Ivan even saw a young wizard trying to get under the robes of his companions.

Where did Snape go? Ivan frowned and looked around. Under the influence of the sky, he failed to find Snape's bat-like figure. Maybe he had already returned to the castle before the students got off the bus.

Thinking of the diary in Snape's hands, Ivan couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

"First-year freshman, this way!"

At this time, a rough voice shouted.

Ivan looked around, and saw a tall figure appearing on the other side of the platform, holding a yellowed oil lamp in his hand, his face under the light was almost completely covered by unkempt long hair and thick beard, but still I could see those black beetle-like eyes shining under the hair.

"First-year freshmen come here! Watch out for your feet!" The giant-like burly man shouted, and the lamp in his hand was dangling above the heads of the little wizards. Ivan couldn't help but worry that the lamp oil inside would splash. In the eyes of the new students, "I am Hogwarts Keykeeper and Gamekeeper, Rubeus Hagrid!"

"Go, Hagrid is here to take you freshmen to accept the entrance test." Ivan heard Fred say behind him, and he deliberately lowered his voice to create a terrifying and dangerous atmosphere.

"Yes, just like Hercules in Greek mythology, new students have to undergo twelve trials for admission, and they can only be sorted after passing." George added with a smile.

Ivan turned his head to look at them, deliberately making a suspicious expression, "Didn't you say that the sorting ceremony is the highlight?"

The twin brothers looked at each other and said in unison: "The sorting ceremony is more dangerous than the entrance test!"

After finishing speaking, the two of them crossed their shoulders and ran to the line of senior students, laughing and laughing, and soon disappeared from Ivan's sight.

"Are there any first-year students who haven't followed?" Hagrid's voice sounded again. He held up the oil lamp and squinted his eyes carefully, then nodded in satisfaction, "Follow me, freshmen!"

The little wizards followed Hagrid down a steep and narrow path, slippery and stumbling.

"Turn this corner, and you're about to see Hogwarts for the first time!" Hagrid called back.

Then there was a loud "Oh—"

A black lake suddenly opened up at the end of the narrow path. On the high hillside on the other side of the lake stands a majestic castle, with contractor spiers everywhere, and windows twinkling under the stars.

"No more than four in each boat!" exclaimed Hagrid, pointing to a fleet of small boats moored to the shore.

Under Hagrid's command, the little wizards boarded the boat in groups of four in an orderly manner, and Ivan deliberately stayed at the end. After all the new students boarded the boat, he and one person were left on the shore.

"Oh, boy, there are no extra boats, is there?" Hagrid noticed Ivan standing alone on the shore, and quickly waved to him, "Come and sit with me, I have a boat by myself."

He moved back, and the boat shook violently immediately, and it took a while to stabilize.

"Thank you, Mr. Hagrid." Ivan thanked Hagrid, walked carefully to the boat and sat down. To be honest, before boarding the boat, he was a little worried that the boat would lose its balance because he sat on it. Fortunately, the boat seemed to be enchanted, and this did not happen.

"It's okay, kid, it should be... have you all boarded the boat?" Hagrid smiled at Ivan, and then shouted loudly, "Okay then... let's go!"
