"No, I'm just an orphan. I grew up in an orphanage. I just came into contact with magic more than a month ago."
Fang Mu shook his head and said.
"What?"
Harry, Ron, Hermione and others couldn't believe it.
"How is that possible?"
Hermione looked confused.
orphan?
Don’t have any magic background?
She felt as if she was completely outmatched.
This is an experience she has never had before.
Ever since she was little, she has been able to learn any knowledge much faster than her peers.
She could master even the more obscure magic knowledge in a short period of time. In more than a month, she had read almost all the knowledge required for first grade just by relying on self-study.
She couldn't say how in-depth her understanding was, but Hermione was confident that ordinary first-year students might not know as much as she does now after a year of teaching.
Just like Ron.
This kind of scumbag among scumbags!
After one year of teaching, it's hard to say whether Hermione will be half as good as she is now.
Hermione left in a daze.
The whistle blows.
The train continues to move forward.
"Are you going to choose him?"
Snape frowned and looked at Dumbledore in front of him.
"No, it's just one of the choices. Ron can give Harry confidence, but Harry also needs someone who can inspire him and truly help him. Both Hermione and Fang may become such a person."
Dumbledore said.
"Didn't you already choose Hermione before? Why should you add him to the list?"
Snape's brows still did not loosen.
"After Hagrid came back from Diagon Alley, I went to investigate him. The parents who adopted him returned from Hong Kong Island, China. Because of the previous problems, most of the magicians in our country have returned from there. Now there is
Their power is very small, and I couldn’t find out their identities. However, I always feel that they have some problems.”
Dumbledore's expression changed.
"Is there a problem? Is it possible?"
"No! It has nothing to do with that person. It's just my personal intuition."
Snape shook his head.
"Snape, you are too careful. Although this is not a bad thing, sometimes you need to look further. Even if the adoptive parents have problems, Fang has no problems. He has been there since childhood.
There are orphanages, these can all be found out." Dumbledore said.
"I know, but I always feel that this person may not be suitable for Harry." Snape said.
"It's just an opportunity, Snape. We still have time to let him and Hermione join Gryffindor. We will take a closer look and we can always know which of them is more suitable to help Harry," Dumbledore said.
"All right."
Snape said no more.
He looked at the fire beside him, and the flickering light of the fire illuminated his face in and out.
It's already getting dark.
Under the deep purple sky, dark shadows passed before my eyes.
It was a land of mountains and woods.
The train began to slow down.
Inside the carriage.
Fang Mu and others have already changed into Hogwarts clothes.
"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.
The three of them started to get out of the car and followed the flow of people in the aisle.
The train kept slowing down and finally stopped.
A group of people rushed to the car door and got off to a dark and small platform.
"Freshmen! Freshmen come over here!"
In the sea of people, Hagrid's figure still stood out.
The freshmen all walked in his direction.
"Come on, follow me. Are there any freshmen? Watch your step, okay! Freshmen, come with me!"
The group of people stumbled and followed Hagrid, walking downhill along a steep and narrow path, with darkness on both sides of the path.
"As you turn this corner, you will soon see Hogwarts for the first time."
Hagrid shouted over his shoulder.
"oh!!"
A loud voice sounded.
The mysterious magic school, the holy place of the magic world in the Kingdom of Corruption.
Hogwarts.
About to appear in front of them for the first time.
Even Fang Mu's heartbeat speeded up unconsciously.
suddenly.
At the end of the narrow path, a black lake spread out in front of them.
Opposite the lake.
A majestic castle stands on a high hillside.
There are many spiers on the castle, and the windows are shining under the starry sky.
This scene is like a picture from a fairy tale.
"No more than four people per boat."
Hagrid pointed at a group of boats on the edge of the lake and said loudly.
Fang Mu got on the boat with Harry and Ron, and Hermione followed. Her eyes looked at Fang Mu from time to time, and her lips opened and closed silently, as if she was saying something.
Fang Mu, who had fairly good hearing, could only vaguely hear some intermittent words such as, "This is impossible, maybe it's just a coincidence, he can't be better than me," etc.
Fang Mu shook his head slightly, but Fang Mu didn't care.
He is a real academic master!
Why should you care?
The boat rowed across the mirror-flat lake.
When they approached the cliff where the castle was located, they looked up and saw that the castle seemed to tower above their heads.
As the boat approaches the cliff.
"Lower your head!"
Hagrid shouted.
Everyone lowered their heads.
The boat passed through the ivy curtain on the front of the cliff and came to a secret and open entrance.
They followed a dark tunnel and seemed to have arrived underground in the castle.
Finally, they reached a place that looked like an underground dock.
The boat docks.
Everyone got off the boat one after another.
"Everyone, take a look and don't miss anything!"
Hagrid checked the empty ship and found that no one had missed anything, so he held a lantern and walked in front.
Under the illumination of the light, they climbed up a tunnel in the rock and arrived at a flat, damp grassland in the shadow of the castle.
Then everyone climbed up a set of stone steps and gathered in front of a huge oak door.
Looking at this oak door, Fang Mu felt a heavy breath coming towards his face.
"Hogwarts"
Although he began to be exposed to the magic of the magical world in Diagon Alley, he also relied on his aura of true learning to learn many magic spells on his own.
But he still has a deep yearning for the legendary Hogwarts.
This is the desire for knowledge and power!
"Is everyone here?"
Hagrid looked around and seemed to be counting people.
After confirming that it was correct, he turned around, raised a huge fist, and knocked on the castle door three times.
Bang bang bang!
The hollow sound seemed to pass through the darkness and spread farther away.
