Joel was so angry at this carousel that he pinched his thigh. How could he be so wrong? Even traveling through time could not change his life!
From Allen's perspective, Joel's eyes changed from dull to angry. His right hand was still pinching his thigh, and his whole body was trembling in a small way.
He was a little scared, so he quickly lowered his head and continued reading.
Joel quickly adjusted his mood and hid the system. He didn't plan to use the remaining points now, and would be more flexible when school started.
There was silence in the compartment. When it got dark, Joel and Ellen changed into the robes required by Hogwarts.
Joel's black robe is second-hand, and it seems to have faded from the washing. The shirt and tie are new. There is a coat of arms above the tie. A griffon, badger, and snake surround an 'H' with Hogwart written underneath.
Ci's school motto is 'Don't disturb the sleeping dragon'.
After tidying up, he tightened his tie and touched his handsome face in front of the cubicle glass. During the day, Joel still couldn't get used to his handsome face.
"You're so handsome." He accidentally said the truth, and Alan beside him secretly let out a 'poof'.
He opened the compartment door and blended in among the students wearing black robes like them. The two short bodies were so inconspicuous that they were so crowded that they couldn't even see their heads.
Joel was squeezed by the senior students behind him and got off the train to the platform.
"Freshmen!" a rough voice shouted, echoing on the narrow platform, "Freshmen, follow me, others go to the carriage in front!"
The huge figure stood in the crowd, and Joel could see this big man who was over three meters tall at a glance. Sure enough, he was similar to the height in the movie.
The big man was carrying a lamp, but he was too tall. Joel felt that the lamp was swinging above his head, guiding them like a beacon.
"I am Hagrid, responsible for guiding you freshmen, follow me!" Hagrid's voice sounded as dull as an ancient bell to Joel. The old students had all left, and the only ones following Hagrid were little ones like Joel.
.
They moved forward from the platform and went down a hillside. The mud here was very slippery. Joel and the freshmen around him had to be careful not to splash the mud on their trouser legs. The surrounding woods were dense, and the starlight outside was also blocked.
Death cover.
Everyone was speechless, and Joel could only hear the sound of his feet stepping on the soil and his own slightly heavy breathing.
He was a little excited. Hogwarts was right in front of him. This building that only existed in movies, books and games was within reach.
At the end of this slope is a black lake. Joel recognizes this place - the Black Lake. There are many giant squids and mermaids living in it. The second challenge of the Goblet of Fire is also held here. Usually this is where Hogwarts students
A good place to have fun in your free time.
On the hillside opposite the Black Lake stands the Hogwarts Castle that Joel has longed for. It is lined with spiers, and each tower is bathed in the bright moonlight, making the castle even more sacred.
"Everyone, get on the boat, we have to cross this black lake!" Hagrid shouted, "Each boat can only seat four people!"
Joel and Allen behind him boarded a small boat, and soon two girls came on board. The moonlight helped Joel see their faces clearly.
One of the girls has smooth black hair and an East Asian face. She has a graceful appearance and soft facial features. She is not as aggressive as the girl next to her with her sharp and angular face. She is a very likable girl.
The boat drove automatically on the mirror-smooth surface of the Black Lake. Joel admired the magic of the magical world while admiring the scenery of the Black Lake.
It wasn't until laughter came from other boats that Joel realized that his boat seemed a little too quiet.
"Hello, I'm Joel Taylor." He introduced himself, and the girl with fair skin and scattered freckles on her face snorted coldly.
Joel consciously did not do anything to offend anyone. At most, he was just a little lazy and not attentive when he first got on the boat.
He saw the girl's eyes lingering on his second-hand robe, and he understood the reason.
"My name is Qiu Zhang, hello." The East Asian girl smiled. The two dimples on her cheeks were very cute. It was indeed her, Joel thought to himself.
There are not many celebrities in the class of 1990 at Hogwarts, but the one who is famous is Harry Potter's first love girlfriend, Autumn Chang.
Allen also introduced himself. He seemed to be very bad at communicating with girls. After saying his name, his face turned red and he remained silent.
"Bot?" The girl next to Qiu suddenly said, "Is it the Bot from Bibi Multi-flavored Beans?"
Allen nodded, facing the water of the black lake, as if he was studying what magical animals were under the water.
"I'm Marietta Acmo, nice to meet you!" Marietta stretched out her right hand.
Allen was stunned for a second, then glanced at Joel who turned his back to enjoy the scenery, carefully stretched out his hand and gently shook Marietta's right hand.
It was just a touch, but Marietta kept talking, "I also want to go to the United States in the summer, but my mother is too busy working at the Ministry of Magic..."
Joel was not stupid, so he could naturally tell that this girl was aiming directly at Allen. She didn't even give Joel a nod or a smile, as if he was just a passerby.
He didn't understand what Bott stood for at first, but after listening to Marietta's words, he realized that Allen's last name was 'Bot' and Bertie, the founder of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans.
·Bot is the same.
It turns out they are relatives.
Marietta's behavior was undoubtedly a bit out of line in the eyes of others. Qiu Zhang, who was sitting opposite Joel, smiled sheepishly at him: "Marietta is always like this... I'm sorry."
"There's nothing I can understand." Joel didn't take it to heart, and Marietta didn't do anything very rude. She just looked down on her family situation.
Along the way, Joel admired the scenery of the Black Lake at night and listened to Marietta pestering Allen with questions. Halfway through, he knew that Allen didn't want to talk to this girl who was only familiar with him.
It's just that he doesn't know how to refuse.
After raising several topics and finding no further response from Allen, Marietta, who was only 11 years old, blushed and couldn't find anything to talk about, so she could only start chatting awkwardly about the weather.
"The weather is really nice today."
"Yeah, it's pretty good."
This conversation made Joel and Qiu on the side want to laugh.
Fortunately, this journey ended quickly. They followed Hagrid to an underground dock-like place, then passed through a dark tunnel and arrived in front of Hogwarts Castle.
Everyone climbed up a flight of stone steps and gathered in front of a huge oak door. Joel looked around, trying to take in Hogwarts.
‘Trigger newbie mission: First entry into Hogwarts.
Mission goal: Complete the branch. As a novice mission, the difficulty of this mission is low and there is no failure penalty.’
Just as Joel was observing the entire castle, the system prompted again.
