After saying goodbye to Professor McGonagall, the three of them walked along the stairs toward Gryffindor Tower. A few minutes later, they came to the portrait of the Fat Lady.
"Oh, you guys came so early. This is not normal." The fat lady looked at the three of them and said.
"Nectar, honeyeater." After wandering in the fireplace for a long time and bouncing on the carriage for a while, Ryan felt a little dizzy and really didn't want to talk. It seemed that Harry and Ron thought the same way.
The portrait of the Fat Lady swung open in response, and the three of them climbed into the hole and threw themselves onto the nearest sofa.
After sitting for a while, Ryan regained his breath. Then he saw someone placed a plate on the coffee table in front of him. On it was Yorkshire pudding and roast beef, with roast potatoes and pea shoots next to it. On top of the beef and vegetables
It was topped with a layer of brown gravy. There was also a jug of pumpkin juice and three cups on the side of the plate.
It seems that if you are not punished for causing trouble, such a simple meal at Hogwarts is also very rich. Ryan and the others poured gravy on the pudding and started eating with beef. After all, they were already hungry after working hard all morning.
After lunch, the tableware disappeared, just like when eating in the Great Hall. The house elves at Hogwarts are indeed very good, serving every wizard without being discovered by the wizard.
After sitting for a while, Ryan asked Harry and Ron: "Why can't we get over that wall? Is it because there's something wrong?"
Harry answered: "Maybe, after all, the Hogwarts Express has been running for more than a century. Considering that the gates at the subway entrance break down every three days, it is normal for this kind of entrance to break down once in a while."
"No, things in the wizarding world are not that easy to break. Especially such important partitions will be inspected every year." Ron retorted, and then he turned to Ryan and said: "Thank you this time, now I think of it,
If I really drove my dad's car, my mother would definitely kill me. Not to mention that if we really drove, we would probably still be sitting in the small car basking in the sun."
"You're welcome, I just occasionally think about things more than others." Ryan said. "I'm going to take a nap. I'm really tired after working like this all morning."
After saying that, Ryan walked up the escalator back to his room to take a nap. When he got up at around three o'clock, he washed up and put on his robe and went downstairs. When he saw Harry and Ron playing crackling cards, Harry's hand shook.
, the cards exploded and seemed to burn his eyebrows.
Seeing Ryan walking down the stairs, Harry seemed to suddenly think of something and said to Ryan: "By the way, Ryan. Thank you for the letter and postcard you gave me during the holidays."
After that, Ryan also joined their game. Relying on the assassin heritage, Ryan had a very steady hand and could build a very tall castle with crackling exploding cards. Unfortunately, he was no match for Ron in wizard chess, and he was defeated.
Finally, when all three of them felt a little tired, it was dinner time. They quickly packed themselves up and went downstairs to the auditorium to attend the opening ceremony.
When they arrived at the auditorium, no one had come yet, so Ryan and the three of them waited in the hall at the entrance of the auditorium. After a while, chirping sounds came from the corridor, and the students all arrived.
Ryan followed the flow of people and sat down at the Gryffindor table. Just like last year, the ceiling that could see the sky was filled with candles, and the auditorium became a sea of pointed black hats. The only difference is that this year,
Ryan is no longer a freshman standing at the door. Instead, he is sitting at the table in his college like other students, waiting for the freshmen to be sorted.
Ryan had just sat down when he heard a rush of footsteps in front of him, and then a figure sat opposite Ryan. It turned out to be Hermione, with a slightly anxious look on her face.
"What's going on with you? I never saw you or Harry on the train. I thought you were all missing."
"My father had a small car accident on the road this morning. As a result, he arrived at the station a little late. Then for some reason, there was a problem with the partition wall of the platform. Harry and I were trapped outside. We went to break
The Cauldron wrote a letter asking for help, and finally Professor McGonagall used the Floo network to help deliver it to the school."
After hearing this, Hermione patted her chest with her hand: "As long as you guys are fine, you don't know how worried I was when I found out that you were not in the car."
Ryan wanted to say something else, but Dumbledore stood up and spoke, so he shut his mouth.
The principal announced the beginning of the sorting ceremony, and the door of the auditorium was pushed open. The freshmen shivered like quails. As expected, not telling the freshmen the details of the sorting ceremony was an ancestral prank at Hogwarts.
But looking at these new students, and thinking about the seventh-grade students who had already graduated, Ryan realized that the real power of the British wizarding world had always been in Hogwarts.
If nothing else, at least most of the employees of the British Ministry of Magic graduated from here. When bureaucrats like Fudge step down, there will be another one, but since 1956, the headmaster of Hogwarts has been Dumbledore.
, it can be said that almost all current employees of the Ministry of Magic are Dumbledore's students.
Ryan was thinking about the grudges between the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts in the original book, and the Sorting Hat's song brought him back to reality. It must be said that even after a year of preparation, the Sorting Hat's song was still so unpleasant.
Next came the Sorting Ceremony, and Ginny Weasley was sorted into Gryffindor as expected. In addition, Colin Creevey Lane, a famous Harry Potter fan, felt that the two of them should be together.
If you set up a Harry Potter fan support group, you should have many things in common.
After the routine principal's speech (short as last year), the sumptuous dinner began. The auditorium echoed with laughter and the clink of knives and forks.
When the last piece of dessert disappeared, Dumbledore told everyone that it was time to go back to bed. Hermione finally found the opportunity to ask Ryan carefully how he ended up at school. After listening to Ryan's account, Hermione said to Ryan:
"Fortunately, you didn't listen to Ron's bad idea. Otherwise, you would definitely deduct a lot of points from the college today, and you might even be expelled."
After returning to the common room, the classmates showed interest in the unusual way Ryan and the three arrived at school. Ron seemed to enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight, and kept describing the situation at that time to anyone who was willing to listen to him.
Ryan shrugged when he saw this, and after saying good night to Hermione, he went upstairs and returned to his dormitory. Taking advantage of the opportunity that his roommates had not returned to the dormitory, Ryan practiced the spell for a while. Then he went to the bathroom to wash up.
Went to bed. What a thrilling first day of school.
