Chapter 29: Arrival

Harry at the front also saw the clues and whispered to Hagrid on the boat next to him: "The blond freshman doesn't seem to be in danger of life, it feels like he is being teased by something."

After Harry's reminder, Hagrid also felt that something was wrong. Everyone else on the boat climbed back, how could he be the only one going up and down in the water.

Hagrid looked around and observed for a long time without seeing who was casting the spell, so he could only say in a daze: "There is no trace of magic power anywhere, it is estimated that the kid offended some magical creature in the Black Lake."

After tossing Malfoy for a while, Chu Yang's anger was almost gone, so he untied the power of Wood Release and let Malfoy escape.

Malfoy immediately felt the power that grabbed his legs disappear, and used the strength of breastfeeding to swim to the boat.

Seeing the tree branches and vines entangled on the boat retreat, Goyle and Crabbe carefully pulled the exhausted Malfoy back onto the boat.

"Ugh!"

Malfoy, who had just lain down, began to vomit water heart-rendingly. God knows what was in this lake. He drank a lot of things just now, so the scene was quite miserable.

"I think the first stop he goes to after school starts is the infirmary. I hope the medical staff there can help him." Hermione's expression was three points of sympathy, and the rest was disgust.

Chu Yang nodded, smiling very happily.

Hogwarts stands on a cliff, surrounded by water on three sides. The cave directly below is the entrance to the school's waterway, looking like the hideous mouth of a monster.

The little wizards looked up at the school towering into the clouds on the cliff from a close distance, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Until now, they had an objective understanding of the school they were about to attend, instead of staying in the text legends on paper.

The little wizards truly felt that Hogwarts is the most magnificent school in the history of magic, and there is no one! The small boat drifted into the cave. After a short darkness, the surroundings gradually brightened. Chu Yang saw that there was a pier deep in the cave under the castle.

The freshmen got off the boat in an orderly manner under Hagrid's reminder, and then stood together in groups.

Malfoy vomited like a puddle of mud and couldn't stand up at all. He was carried by Goyle and Crabbe, looking dazed.

"He looks like he should be very difficult to participate in tonight's sorting ceremony..."

Hagrid muttered, walking in front to lead the students up a winding stone staircase.

The end of the stone staircase is a flat garden, and walking forward is the main entrance of Hogwarts.

At this time, the main entrance opened, as if a batch of people had just been welcomed in.

"Your seniors should have arrived. You will see Professor McGonagall if you go up the stairs. Remember, be respectful." After Hagrid reminded the freshmen, he walked straight to Malfoy and picked him up on his shoulder.

Malfoy was almost vomiting, and just got better, but smelled Hagrid's strong body odor and the smell of animals, and vomited again.

Chu Yang faintly saw the green bile of the other party and began to reflect on whether he had done too much? "What a poor child, I have to send you to the infirmary immediately." Hagrid shook his head with pity and left with big strides. The remaining little wizards looked at each other, and then followed Hagrid's instructions, walking up the steps. Not long after, they saw a tall, old-faced, and serious witch.

"Hello, freshmen, welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am Minerva McGonagall, who will teach you Transfiguration in the future, and also the Head of Gryffindor House, and the Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

Professor McGonagall wore a dark green robe, which made her indifferent expression even more serious. The freshmen stood in front of her, not daring to breathe.

"Your seniors, as well as professors of various courses, and Headmaster Dumbledore are waiting for you inside, but before the opening banquet begins, you need to perform a sorting ceremony first."

"You are about to be assigned to different houses, where you will spend your seven years of study."

"The names of the four houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own glorious history and has cultivated outstanding male and female wizards."

"During your time at school, you will take classes with other students in the house, live in the house's dormitory, and spend your spare time in the house's common room."

"Your outstanding performance will earn points for the house you are in, and any violations will deduct points for the house you are in. At the end of the year, the house with the highest points can win the House Cup, which is a very high honor. I hope you can win glory for the house no matter which house you are assigned to."

Chu Yang listened to this familiar entrance education and showed a playful smile.

Chu Yang believes that no matter how many points Harry deducts for Gryffindor in the early stage, Dumbledore will eventually add the points back for various reasons.

Among them, there is certainly Dumbledore's intention to cultivate Harry Potter into a savior, but no matter what the motivation is, such behavior itself is unfair to other houses.

But fortunately, Chu Yang has no ideas about the so-called House Cup. No matter who wins, as long as it doesn't hinder his research on magic.

After the entrance education was completed, Professor McGonagall originally wanted to lead the students into the banquet hall, but her peripheral vision swept to the water stains on Goyle and Crabbe.

Professor McGonagall frowned and walked to the two of them. Goyle and Crabbe were scared and at a loss, as if they could hear Professor McGonagall's reprimand in the next second.

Professor McGonagall, who seemed serious, used a gentle tone to ask: "What's going on with you? Could it be that you fell into the lake on the way?"

Professor McGonagall, who was originally joking, saw Goyle and Crabbe nodding carefully.

"Can you fall into this?" Professor McGonagall was full of disbelief. Every boat she cast a spell on, besides letting the boat automatically go to the pier in the cave, it would also protect the students so that they wouldn't accidentally fall into the lake.

"We met a monster!" Goyle first glanced at Chu Yang fearfully, then explained: "There was a monster in the lake attacking our boat, and it kept putting us into the lake until it stopped."

"Monster?" Professor McGonagall said in surprise: "This is impossible, the route you came over is not the activity range of magical creatures in the Black Lake."

"It's true, Professor, Goyle and I are still okay, Malfoy couldn't get on the boat no matter what, and was trapped in the water by the monster, drinking a lot of lake water, and has just been sent to the medical room." Crabbe shouted loudly on the side, for fear that Professor McGonagall would not believe them.
