Chapter 27: Crossing the Lake

Several hours later, night fell, and it was pitch black outside the train window, and you couldn't see your fingers. Even Ron and Hermione, who were usually very lively, began to become quiet.

Chu Yang also closed the book at this time and began to organize his luggage, putting the books he took out in order.

He had long been accustomed to this experience of taking a train to go to school in other places, and he was very skilled, and it was a special train, so he didn't have to worry about missing the station, and there was nothing to be nervous about.

Accompanied by the whistle of "Woo-woo-woo", the train slowly drove into a simple station. The scale was not large, and the facilities looked a bit old, but they were cleaned very cleanly.

The green plants and street lamps on both sides of the railway decorated this station warmly and cutely, easing some of the nervous emotions of the freshmen.

Under the illumination of the street lamps, Chu Yang saw the giant Hagrid walking towards them from the train window.

The night made him look even more burly! The giant, almost as tall as the train, also held a lamp in his hand and loudly reminded the freshmen to get off the train, "Freshmen of the first grade, come to my side, hurry up, don't be shy, the party today is waiting for you!"

Hearing this, the freshmen got off the train for the first time, and everyone's luggage was left on the train. Someone would help them send it to the school by then.

Harry and Ron got off the train, immediately walked to Hagrid, greeted him, and then followed closely behind him. Chu Yang fell a few steps behind and hid in the crowd.

The encounter with Harry Potter was accidental.

Chu Yang didn't intend to continue this accidental fate.

He didn't want to participate in the confrontation between the protagonist group and Voldemort, because this is a troublesome thing, and it is very time-consuming, and he can't get any benefits.

Ask yourself, who in reality would rush to do this thankless thing? If he has this time, Chu Yang might as well find a place to study magic with peace of mind.

Anyway, at the end of the story, Harry Potter as the protagonist will definitely defeat Voldemort. It doesn't make much sense for Chu Yang to help or not.

He must seize the time to improve his ability so that he can help other "selves" when he enters the Soul Palace next time.

After all, once is enough for this kind of white-picking, and it's a bit impolite to have more.

Just when Chu Yang thought he would drift away from them, a little tail followed behind him.

"Chu Yang, can you tell me, which grade of content have you self-taught?" Hermione was like a little squirrel, staring at Chu Yang with round eyes.

The crowd was surging, and in order to avoid getting lost, Hermione grabbed Chu Yang's sleeve with one hand.

Chu Yang was quite helpless.

Hermione's self-esteem is really strong. In the past, she would always show off the knowledge she learned to others for the first time at home.

But this time, in terms of knowledge, Chu Yang completely crushed her.

With her personality, she wouldn't just give up like this.

Chu Yang told a lie calmly, "Actually, I haven't read as many books as you think. Except for the first-grade textbooks, the others are some books about Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"You also know my family situation just now. I just want to read, but I can't afford extra books, and even the tuition is paid by Hogwarts."

After mentioning the family background, Hermione really didn't continue to ask, but comforted Chu Yang: "Chu Yang, you don't have to worry about books. Professor McGonagall told me that the Hogwarts library has a very rich collection of books, and you can borrow many books there."

Chu Yang smiled: "Thank you for your reminder, Miss Granger."

Hermione waved her hand and responded with a smile: "Don't be so polite, just call me Hermione." The two had just finished speaking, and the team had already walked to the lake. Hagrid, standing on the shore, kept waving his arms, greeting the students to take the boat.

"Each boat can take at most 3 to 4 people, watch it yourself, if you are heavy, choose a boat with fewer people!"

The freshmen began to take the boat, but the water waves hit the boat and shook it left and right. It took a lot of effort for a group of 11-year-old children to get on.

Hermione looked at the swaying boat and hesitated for a while, until Chu Yang pressed the bow of the boat, and the boat seemed to be nailed to the sea.

"Wow, you are so strong!" Hermione looked at Chu Yang in surprise, then tentatively put her foot into the boat, supported the boat body with both hands, and turned over carefully.

There was also a boy with a relatively large build standing on the shore, seemingly not welcomed by others, who disliked him for taking up space.

The boy smiled at Chu Yang awkwardly.

"Come up, the three of us are just right." Chu Yang tilted his head to signal the boy to get on the boat, and the latter sat in with relief.

After Chu Yang got on the boat last, the boat moved without any force, and it was obviously cast with a spell in advance.

"Hello, my name is Hermione Granger." Hermione introduced herself generously to the wooden boy.

"You... hello, my name is... Neville Longbottom." The white and fat boy named Neville started to stutter because of nervousness.

The boat moved further and further away from the shore, and the light around it became worse and worse.

The pitch-black lake surface was quiet enough to make people's hair stand on end, and the silent fear was like water waves rippling.

With only the lamp in Hagrid's hand, it was impossible to dispel the fear of a group of 11-year-old children.

Because of fear, Hermione leaned tightly against Chu Yang, pulling his robe and not letting go.

Out of kindness, Chu Yang had to remind: "If you grab me like this, in case I fall into the lake, you will be dragged into the water by me."

Hermione shook her head decisively: "You are so smart, the chance of falling into the water is very small, it is safer to grab you."

Chu Yang: "..."

On a small boat floating by, there were constant complaints, "I really don't understand why we can't take the carriage like those senior students, we have to take a boat across the lake. In case of any accident, what should we do?"

Hagrid, who was at the front, heard the complaints and turned his head helplessly: "Don't worry, everyone, taking a boat is very safe. Hogwarts has been around for so many years, and no student has died while taking a boat."

Hagrid's explanation did not get the understanding of the children, but the complaints became more and more.

Hermione, who was very scared just now, immediately came to her spirit, and explained in a high voice: "Crossing the lake by boat is a tradition for freshmen at Hogwarts. This is to imitate the scene when the four great wizards who founded the school first arrived here."

"The significance of doing this is to remind the younger generation not to forget their original intention and remember what kind of suffering Hogwarts was built under today."

With Hermione's explanation, the complaints of the freshmen stopped abruptly, and the blood of the second grade in their bodies burned fiercely!
