In fact, children living in the wizarding world are usually very bored. The Weasley family's burrow is located among the hills and trees south of the village of Ottery-St. Catchpole. However, most Muggles have not even discovered it.
There is a house there.
There are only four wizarding households nearby, and Digory's house is the closest to them, but it is still several miles away.
The two parties can only visit each other by riding a broomstick or through other means. In fact, the children of the four families have basically no contact with each other.
The Weasley children rarely go to the village of Ottery-St. Catchpole, let alone play with ordinary Muggles.
However, the twins said that their brother had a Muggle friend, a beautiful girl.
"Generally, Muggles are difficult to get along with. They always think that we are weird and we usually can't play together. Besides... my home is also far away from the town."
Lee Jordan's situation is even worse. He is the only one in his family, so sometimes he doesn't even have a playmate.
Albert is much better than them. He has a sister, a pile of books, and occasionally plays ball with others. However, he usually doesn't play with a group of brats. After all, it's boring.
Although he doesn't have any real good friends, Albert is still quite popular in school. After all, he has excellent grades and is great in all aspects. He is also a good talker, and he also knows how to manage interpersonal relationships.
Albert asked the three of them whether children in the wizarding world actually do not go to Muggle schools.
It's really hard to imagine that a family like Malfoy would let their children go to a Muggle school?
Obviously not.
Of course, some wizards are exceptions.
However, the twins have never been there, and their initial knowledge was taught by their families.
"By the way, is there any wizard family named Smith?" Albert asked. His grandfather's original family was Smith. Later, he casually changed his name along with his Muggle relatives.
It shows how much he hated the guy who abandoned him.
"Never heard of it, what about you George?" Fred looked at his twin brother.
"I haven't heard of it either." Li Qiaodan shook his head and said, "Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing, I still don't know where I heard this surname." Albert moved his gaze to the window, the visibility was very low, and the sky was gradually getting darker.
In other words, he didn't realize that Li Qiaodan was a talker. This guy liked to talk non-stop.
The three of them wouldn't be bored. The cubicle was boring anyway. Listening to him talk about things was like being hypnotized.
Albert opened his eyes again and felt that the train seemed to have slowed down.
"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train and we will take you to school." A voice echoed on the train through the loudspeaker.
"Merlin's beard has finally arrived." Fred stretched out lazily. He was not in good spirits after sitting on the train for too long.
George helped pack up the snacks on the table and put them into Albert's suitcase.
The train finally stopped, and the four people walked out of the compartment, and followed the crowds in the train aisle, pushing and shoving towards the door.
It was really hectic when they got off the bus. They went down to a dark and small platform, cold rain was pouring down, and the chill of the night made Albert shiver.
"I hate rain." Albert muttered, took out his wand and chanted a spell on the pointed hat, "Invulnerable to water and fire."
"Freshmen! Freshmen come here!" A loud voice shouted from the platform. He raised the oil lamp above everyone's heads and shook it to attract the attention of the freshmen.
"What are you doing? Come on quickly." Fred stretched out his hand and gave him a hand.
"Wait a minute." Albert also chanted "Invulnerable to Fire and Water" on the robe he was wearing. He didn't know if this spell would be effective, but it was better than nothing.
"Hurry up, Albert," Lee Jordan urged.
"Don't worry, it's coming. The fluorescent light is flashing." Albert held up his wand and walked towards Hagrid. He was really a tall man with a long beard, who looked quite scary from a distance.
If you didn't know better, you would have thought he was some kind of dangerous person. He looked really scary.
"Are there any freshmen? They are all here, let's go!" Hagrid led them away from the platform. Without the shelter of the platform, the cold rain hit them, making goosebumps appear all over the freshmen's bodies.
"Watch where you step," Hagrid shouted, but it was of no help at all. Because of the rain, the path was muddy and many people fell down several times along the way.
Albert pulled up his pointed hat and robe and wrapped himself more tightly. Fortunately, the water and fire invulnerability spell worked, and he did not become a drowned rat like the others.
Why didn't I learn to use a magic wand to conjure an umbrella? No, Albert remembered that he had a folding umbrella in his suitcase.
He was a little annoyed and angry with himself.
Albert decided to take the time to learn that useful magic, so that he wouldn't have to worry about not bringing an umbrella when it rains.
"Are you okay?" In front of him, another unlucky guy fell down.
"Thank you, this journey was really rough." The girl who was helped up said gratefully.
"Let's go." Albert let go of the other party's hand, used his wand to explore the path, and walked forward slowly.
This is definitely the worst class of freshmen. Many people fell down and were covered in mud.
He also heard Lee Jordan, who was not far away from him, swearing in a low voice. He had just been taken away by the people around him.
Albert suddenly felt that it was a wise decision to stay behind, at least he would not be taken down by others.
"Be careful, it's going downhill." Hagrid shouted from the front. After he went down, he waited aside to prevent any students from slipping while walking down this steep slope.
Facts have proved that this is indeed a wise decision. Three unlucky guys almost fell down. Fortunately, Hagrid caught them in time.
"Be careful, we will be at the lake soon."
After everyone went downhill, Hagrid stepped forward to lead the way. They turned corners and finally arrived at a black lake.
On the hillside on the other side of the lake, stands a castle, that is Hogwarts Castle.
There are lights flashing on the windows of the castle, which are particularly conspicuous under the rain in the dark night.
"Each boat can't have more than four people. Remember, there can't be more than four people!" Hagrid pointed to the small boat on the shore and shouted to the newcomers.
"Albert, this way." One of the twins waved to him. Lee Jordan was also here. They were all covered in mud and looked very embarrassed.
"Are you okay?" Albert couldn't help but laugh a little and got on the boat.
"It was very bad. I fell down once and was knocked down twice."
"Get on the boat," Hagrid shouted. After holding up a light to make sure no one was overloaded, he took a boat by himself. "Very good, then... move forward."
The boat moved on its own without oars, and rowed forward across the lake.
Albert raised his head and stared at the castle in front of him, feeling vaguely inexplicable excitement, Hogwarts, here I come.
