Chapter 144: A New Beginning

The matter was soon revealed. After Pei Chen stopped talking, even Harry felt that he had an illusion. So what else can I say?

However, maybe there was only the silly fat mouse in this carriage... Oh no, it should be that only the fat man foolishly believed this statement, without any doubt. But the other three did have some doubts, but they were deeply buried in their hearts and not revealed.

Harry had a criminal record - he once let a Brazilian python walk in the zoo, so he knew that he seemed to have the ability to talk to snakes, and it was not uncommon to listen to them.

Because Ron is a wizard family, he knows more about the situation and thinks of some special things, which is hard to say.

As for Hermione, she was originally a delicate girl. If she hadn't noticed any abnormalities in her pet during this month's time, it would be a big insult to her IQ. However, the current situation has only aggravated some of her doubts, and she could not be sure of what the problem was.

So after she reacted and came back to her senses, she quickly changed the subject and became interested in the legendary boy who survived the disaster.

"Is it really you? I just thought that you just happened to be able to enter school this year, and maybe I can meet you!" Hermione said to Little Harry with some excitement, "I know all about you. I have bought a few extra reference books, "History of Modern Magic", "The Rise and Fall of Dark Magic", "Important Magic Events in the Twentieth Century", and all of them mentioned you."

Yes, it was precisely for this reason that Mr. Granger had to run Diagon Alley twice in a row afterwards. This was a really amazing feat for a Muggle. Pei Chen nodded repeatedly, as if he was proving to his master.

"Tell me?!" Little Harry seemed a little reluctant to accept it, and his eyes began to draw circles.

"Oh my God! Don't you know? If I were to do it, I would definitely find a way to find all the books mentioned to me... Do you know which academy you will be assigned to? I hope to be assigned to Gryffindor. I have already inquired..." Hermione said, and then from the corner of her eyes, she saw the aggrieved little fat man Neville, and immediately remembered what her original intention was. Her little face turned red and she said quickly:

"...Well, no matter what, we'd better go find Neville's Toad first. You two would better change your clothes quickly. You know, we're probably coming."

After saying that, she hurriedly took Neville out, leaving only two boys here with big eyes.

"No matter which academy I was assigned to, I wouldn't want to be with her." Ron said, throwing his wand back into the suitcase. "Did you see it? Harry, she actually raises snakes! You know, snakes are symbols of Slytherin Academy! She actually raises snakes! And she also wants to get Gryffindor... How could she be assigned to Gryffindor?!"

The red-haired freckled boy kept complaining, looking extremely unhappy. In his opinion, as long as he had something to do with the snake, he should be put to Slytherin. How could he be assigned to Gryffindor?

Hermione, who walked out of the carriage, naturally didn't know how anyone looked at him, but Pei Chen heard it. The green snake's eyes became a little indifferent. How deeply rooted are these damn stupid lions who regard stupidity as brave lions?

...

...

The Hogwarts Express train is slowly decelerating.

Many students subconsciously looked out the window. It was already dark. Under the dark purple sky was a mountain and forest. It seemed... it was about to reach the terminal?

"The train will arrive in Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage in the train and we will take it to the school for you." The train radio rang and it was repeated several times.

The seniors are fine, but many freshmen who just entered school this year are so nervous that their faces turn pale and they are so busy that they don’t know what to do, even Hermione is no exception.

After finally finding the toad, the two of them had just pushed the door and returned to their compartment, and then they heard the news that the train was standing by. Hermione suddenly became nervous, unconsciously pulled the green snake wrapped around her wrist and grabbed it in her hand. She held it very hard, and her knuckles were a little white.

Pei Chen: "..."

Fortunately, I was not an ordinary little snake, otherwise I might have been hit by this young lady on the spot.

After quickly organizing his instrument, Hermione looked at his box, then remembered the previous prompt, so she gritted her teeth and grabbed her Lyle and walked out. The train gradually slowed down and finally stopped.

The passengers pushed and shoved and rushed out of the car door. Hermione finally squeezed out of the crowd, but found that the little fat man following her had long been dispersed by the crowd and disappeared. She showed a somewhat at a loss and looked at the dark and small platform where she was, and couldn't help but put on her hands again.

Pei Chen: "..."

"First-year freshmen are here! First-year freshmen are here!"

With a thick and loud voice, the freshmen soon found the organization and led by Rube Hager, who was probably of giant blood, lined up in a long line and marched towards the Hogwarts Castle under the night.

Hermione was moving faster, so she was at the forefront of the team. She looked around and found no familiar people, all of whom were unfamiliar. She could only raise the green snake in her hand in disappointment and whisper a few words, and then her mood improved again.

The mountain road is very rugged and difficult to walk, and the sound of the freshmen's speech gradually disappears, replaced by footsteps and breathing. Under this ink-like night, walking on such a rugged path is not an easy task. Both physical and mental consumption are huge. Because the road is dark and nothing can be seen, maybe a forest or a cliff, but who knows what it is?

Fortunately, just when most people's physical energy fell to a relatively dangerous level, they finally saw hope - bypassing a corner, a black lake suddenly unfolded at the end of the narrow path, and a towering castle stood on the high hillside across the lake, with the castle spires standing, and windows flashing under the starry sky...

Shock! Extremely shocked!

In an instant, the freshmen seemed to be energetic again, and the chirping voices and discussions sounded again, and the momentum seemed to be able to participate in the triathlon directly.

"Oh my god..." Hermione was also shocked, subconsciously trying to reach out to cover her mouth, but almost scared Pei Chen to death. He struggled hard for a few times before calming the girl down again, stopped the crazy behavior of kissing the snake, then took a deep breath and recovered her mood. Hermione passed over most of the stops and watched the stop-and-down freshman, and walked towards the lake.

"Everyone is on the boat, but each boat cannot exceed four people... hurry up." The big guy was already urging impatiently.

Soon, small boats crossed the lake and finally arrived at a place similar to an underground pier. The students climbed up a ground of gravel and small pebbles.

Everyone got off the boat one after another and looked in groups towards the castle. After Hermione walked a distance, she suddenly heard a loud sound coming from behind her.

"Hey? Is this your toad?" This is Hagrid's voice.

"Thank God!" This is Neville's voice.

Hermione: “…”

Pei Chen: "..."

I got off the train just now. It wasn't twenty minutes yet. The fat man actually lost his toad again? This ability to throw things is so amazing. It can be attributed to the character problem. It's not his fault at all...

Soon, under the light of the lanterns of Haigrid, everyone climbed a tunnel in the rocks, and finally arrived at a flat and wet grassland in the shadow of the castle. Finally, they climbed a stone step and gathered in front of a huge oak door.

"Are you all here?"

Hagrid raised a huge fist and smashed it three times on the gate of the castle.

The door immediately opened, and a tall black-haired witch wearing an emerald green robe appeared in everyone's sight. Pei Chen shrank almost at the same time. He vaguely felt a sense of danger from the other party. Although it was weak, it did exist.

"First year student, Professor McGonagall."

"Thank you, Hagrid. Let me leave it here."

The witch, known as Professor McGonagall, led the new student along the stone floor and soon took everyone to a small empty house on the other end of the hall.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall, facing the seemingly nervous crowd. "The school banquet is about to begin, but before you get to the restaurant, you must first determine which college you each enter. Classification is an important ceremony because during your time at school, the college is like your home in Hogwarts. You must attend classes with other classmates in the college, stay in the college dormitory, and spend your spare time in the college's common room."

"The names of the four colleges are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each college has its own glorious history and has cultivated outstanding wizards. Your outstanding performance during your studies at Hogwarts will earn extra points for your college, and any violation will reduce your college. At the end of the year, the college with the highest score will receive the College Cup, which is a very high honor. I hope that no matter which college you are assigned to, you can win glory for the college."

"In a few minutes, the branch ceremony will be held in front of all the teachers and students in the school. I suggest that you tidy up yourself and be more energetic when you wait. When you are ready there, I will pick you up. And... please keep quiet when you wait."

After saying that, the witch left the room.

The waiting time is always particularly long, and when people are bored, they will try their best to find some fun for themselves, so-

Some people started to spread horror remarks, including those about branch ceremonies, which were bloody and violent, painful, and would cause bleeding, which scared many people to their faces pale, and even a small number of children with weak mental health cried in tears.

Hermione was also nervous, especially when she heard that the so-called branch ceremony was a test, Pei Chen obviously felt the girl's body tremble, and then she was lying at a very fast speed, as if she was reciting the mantra she had learned.

"Bored." Qingsnake made such an evaluation in his heart, then raised his head and looked around, and then he saw the little boy, Harry Potter, who was suspected to be the protagonist.
