Whether in the magical or non-magical world, it is a day that is both loved and hated.
The long summer vacation is finally over and the new semester has begun.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is no exception. The only difference is that compared to two months ago, "Hogwarts" now refers to more than just castles, lakes, forest farms, vegetable fields, and Quebec.
The campus area of Diqi Stadium is gone.
In the open space between the school gate and Hogsmeade village, there is now a row of low houses.
However, the little wizards who have just arrived at the school in the night do not have the energy to pay attention to these subtle changes yet.
After riding the train for a whole day, most of them were already exhausted.
The Hogwarts Express does not provide lunch. Under the triple effects of hunger, cold, and exhaustion, even the upperclassmen's faces showed deep fatigue. After the train stopped for a while, the students pushed
They rushed out of the car door and walked towards the carriage stop outside the dark platform, hoping to return to the warm and comfortable Hogwarts Castle as soon as possible.
"Then, let's separate here and see you at school later..."
Elena walked down the platform, pulled out her wand and touched Hermione, Hannah, and Luna one after another. An invisible stream of warmth flowed down from their heads like a waterfall, driving away the coldness of the Scottish Highlands after nightfall.
I have to admit that the Scamanders are indeed quite amazing wizards.
During the previous month's summer vacation, Elena learned a lot of magic from Tina Scamander, most of which were not found in textbooks and were summarized by adult wizards in their daily lives.
magic.
As for the Ministry of Magic detecting traces of underage wizards casting spells...
As early as the first day of summer vacation, Gellert Grindelwald helped her get rid of it - with a steaming bowl of less authentic "Nurmengard version" spicy soup as reward, which for the old man
For the Demon King, it's really a good deal.
"Eh?! Separate? Why?"
Hannah frowned and asked with a confused expression.
"Elena, shouldn't you take the carriage with us to the castle?"
"Are freshmen crossing the lake, so--"
Hermione glanced at Elena's plain wizard robe, her eyes slowly passed over the hands held by Elena and Luna, and nodded thoughtfully, with a trace of curiosity on her face.
Earth look.
"Is it really okay for you to be alone? You know what I mean..."
"Don't look at me like that! I've said it many times, I'm not a road fool!"
Elena glared at the little beaver who was smiling but not smiling, and her tone couldn't help but soften a little, "I just don't have a good sense of direction, and besides, Luna is here - there is no way, Hagrid can't take a boat this year, you know
of."
As she spoke, Elena pursed her lips not far away.
In the sea of thousands of people, a figure over three meters tall looked particularly conspicuous.
As the news spread that Tom Riddle was Voldemort, and the files about the "Secret Chamber of Secrets Murder Case" at Hogwarts fifty years ago were accidentally circulated, many voices of sympathy and praise naturally appeared in the wizarding world.
——In an exclusive interview with the Daily Prophet, Hagrid was dubbed the "first warrior to resist the mysterious man".
Of course, the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts revoked all punishments against Hagrid, and after consulting with Dumbledore and Hagrid themselves, made an extraordinary decision that Hagrid could continue to complete his studies at Hogwarts.
.
So, for today at least, Hagrid is not some Hogwarts gamekeeper, orientation director or keykeeper.
According to the regulations of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hagrid should, together with other senior students, take the school's carriage at the station, pass through the Hogwarts gate with winged boar sculptures on both sides, and enter Hogwart along the school avenue.
Castle - Like all fourth-year students in Gryffindor House, there is no special treatment.
In contrast...
Elena raised her wand and pointed it to the sky gracefully.
"Explosion Maximum!"
boom!
Along with a thunderous roar, a group of brilliant fireworks suddenly bloomed over the station.
Immediately afterwards, the huge light and shadow of the Hogwarts school emblem appeared above the heads of the students. In the bright four-color school emblem, the animals symbolizing their respective houses moved their bodies as if they were awakening from a dream, and made a series of powerful sounds.
"Freshmen! Freshmen come over here!"
Elena waved her wand, and a beam of light fell from the school emblem in the sky, marking her location.
Compared with Hagrid's previous method of gathering freshmen, Elena's method was obviously much easier to distinguish. It only took about one-third of the usual time for all the freshmen who entered Hogwarts this year to gather in Eileen.
In front of Na.
"Very good! Then let me see...well, everyone should have arrived."
Elena tried hard to resist the urge to stand on her tiptoes and tap the number of people. She turned her head quietly and glanced at the house elf on the right side of the Hogwarts Express. She waited until it raised a lantern and shook it continuously.
After three times, he continued.
"Now, first years, draw your wands!"
Not far away, Luna Lovegood was already standing at the steep and narrow descent.
As one of Elena's most important wings, although Luna is occasionally a little confused, at least her ability to find paths is quite outstanding, and after a school year of getting along with her, she has also grown a lot in her acting skills.
few.
Luna turned her head and asked softly with a serious look on her face.
"Professor Kaslana, what should we do next?"
"Relax, try to remember what you tried on the train, and read with me..."
Elena replied very naturally, looking around at the little wizards who were watching her, her eyes stopped for a moment on the little witch who was about the same size as herself in the crowd, and she gave her a look quietly.
Immediately afterwards, Elena took out the wand, shook her wrist flexibly, and read clearly.
"Lumos! Lumos!"
Countless bright white lights flickered around the girl, as if they were flying around her as flexibly as fireflies. In just a few seconds, the darkness in the station was dispelled, and it looked like a dreamlike beauty.
As Elena cast spells, the little wizards around her chanted spells one after another.
Different from the sporadic light a year ago, this time almost all the newly born wand tips flickered, and countless bright and dark white lights gradually lit up. Everyone gathered together to form a field as bright as moonlight.
