Wright and Chang Chu followed the other students out of the door of the Hogwarts Express and went down to a dark and small platform. The temperature at Hogsmeade Station was much lower than that at Platform Nine and Three Quarters, and the new students were crowded together. A gust of cold night wind blew, and Chang Chu pressed closely against Leiter's side.
A bright yellow lamp was lifted over the heads of the freshmen, and at the same time a loud voice sounded: "First-year freshmen! First-year freshmen, come over here!"
Wright looked towards the place where the voice came from. The face of the person who just spoke was almost completely covered by long unkempt hair and a thick tangled beard. But even in such a dark night, Wright could still see his black beetle-like eyes shining beneath his hair.
Who could this man be if not Hagrid, the ranger at Hogwarts
Wright looked around, waiting for Hagrid to continue calling Harry's name. By the way, I haven’t seen this little savior of the wizarding world, Wright! When a large number of students poured into Diagon Alley near the beginning of the semester, Wright had been staying on the second floor of the Leaky Cauldron to study Radice's manuscript and never came down. I didn't meet Harry when I was at King's Cross Station this morning, and strangely, I didn't even see any of the Weasleys.
"Lite, what are you looking at?" Chang Chu pulled Wright's hand, and Wright found that his hand was grabbed by Chang Chu again at some point.
"I'm looking for Harry Potter!" After giving up the idea of breaking away from Chang Chu's hand, Wright said without any secret.
To be honest, if Wright could choose the easiest resource to obtain in Hogwarts, it would definitely be Harry! As soon as you enter Hogwarts Castle, you can get in touch with them without even entering the castle. They are alive. Because of the lack of love in childhood, it is easy to develop friendships and their personalities are quite friendly.
After you gain Harry's friendship, many resources in Hogwarts and even the British wizarding world will be opened to you. The most valuable of them should be the attention of the greatest white wizard Dumbledore in the world. Of course, this Whether it is a positive value or a negative value varies from person to person.
There is also the friendliness of Hagrid, which can lead to a series of side plots from Hagrid's cabin to the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts; and the friendliness of the Weasley family, which can lead to contact with the Ministry of Magic ( Arthur), Gringotts Egypt (Bill), Dragon Farm (Charlie), The Secret of Hogwarts Castle (Twins), Pettigrew (Ron), etc.; if you are braver, know what it means If you know a man, you will become famous in the wizarding world in an instant... right...
"But Wright, this year is only 1990." Chang Chu whispered in Wright's ear, and the two of them were following Hagrid down a steep and narrow path.
"So?" Wright was a little confused.
"Harry Potter won't go to Hogwarts until next year." Chang Chu said.
Wright suddenly stopped, and Chang Chu also stopped.
I just said why I haven’t met Harry Potter!
I just said why I haven’t met the Weasley family!
I said, why didn't a girl named Hermione Granger come to look for Toad just now
wrong! Wright turned his head stiffly and looked at Chang Chu blankly.
"What's wrong?" Chang Chu looked directly into Wright's eyes without any concern.
"No...nothing..." Wright stuttered.
It’s a big problem, okay! If Harry doesn't come to school until next year, what's going on with you, Chang Chu? New time traveler? Characters not mentioned in the original story? An exchange student from an ancient civilization
etc! No way! A flash of lightning flashed through Wright's mind. She was a girl with black hair and black eyes. She was one year above Harry.
"Chang Chu, are you sure your name is Chang Chu?" Wright did not use English this time, but asked Chang Chu in pure Chinese, "Or is your surname actually Zhang? Or there is another person named Liang. What’s your surname?”
"Lite! You can actually speak Chinese! We are indeed a match made in heaven!" Chang Chu had a look of unusual surprise on his face. No matter when you are in a foreign land, the language of your hometown can always bring you deep feelings.
Wright was a little disappointed with Chang Chu's Chinese accent with a hint of Northeastern accent. He pretended not to hear what she just said about "a perfect match" and continued to ask: "Chang Chu, you haven't answered my question yet. Is it really called Chang Chu?”
"Of course!" Chang Chu nodded. At this time, the freshmen, led by Hagrid, had already passed through the narrow path and arrived at the edge of a large lake.
"Wright! Look! Hogwarts Castle!" Chang Chu pointed excitedly at the towering castle on the other side of the lake. Under the bright white moonlight, the Hogwarts Castle with its spiers in the distance exuded an ancient mystery. flavor.
What's so interesting about this ruined castle! The next seven years will keep you entertained! Wright cursed, the most important thing now is to find out who you are, Chang Chu, okay
"Next we have to cross the lake! Please note that there can be no more than four people in each boat!" Hagrid said loudly, pointing to the boat moored on the shore.
Wright and Chang Chu got on the boat together, and another man and woman followed. After making sure that everyone was on board, Hagrid immediately directed all the ships to move towards Hogwarts Castle.
"But didn't you say that your father is a wizard and works in the British Ministry of Magic?" Wright was still unwilling to give up and continued to ask Chang Chu, "Then, shouldn't your name be an English name?"
The pair of freshmen sitting opposite the two of them did not know whether they were nervous because they were about to be sorted, or because they did not understand the Chinese spoken by Wright at all. They remained silent and speechless.
"Lite, I am sure that my father's surname is Chang, and I am extremely sure that my name is Chang Chu." Chang Chu said word for word, "But I think you seem to have been mistaken about one thing."
"My father is not British." Chang Chu said.
"?" Wright didn't say anything, but his expression showed doubts.
"My father's position in the Ministry of Magic is..." Chang Chu leaned into Wright's ear, "Ambassador of the Chinese Office in the UK!"
As the first boats approached the cliff, Hagrid told everyone to lower their heads, but Wright felt it would be more comfortable to hit the wall.
The boat slowly followed a dark tunnel to the underground of Hogwarts Castle, and finally reached a place similar to an underground dock.
Wright jumped off the boat first, then turned around and helped Chang Chu get off the boat.
"Chang Chu, do you know what a time traveler is?" Wright made his last attempt.
"I don't know, this is the first time I've heard of this word." Chang Chu shook his head, "Is it some special profession?"
"No, haha...haha." Wright laughed dryly.
Hagrid led the new students to a huge oak door. After counting the number of people again, he raised his fist and knocked on the castle door three times.
The door immediately opened. A tall black-haired witch wearing emerald green robes stood in front of the door. She looked serious and looked difficult to deal with.
It was Professor McGonagall.
