The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

The Hogwarts Express finally started, and the familiar faces around Link increased.

In fact, the students are all the same. When they go to school, they look forward to the holiday, and after a long holiday, they look forward to the start of the school.

So after there were more people, the atmosphere on the train became more cheerful.

Driven by this atmosphere, Link's somewhat depressed mood gradually began to improve.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with divination.

After all, this is a relatively formal course, and Link can at least learn some real skills by taking this course. ability.

After comforting himself, Link finally merged into the happy atmosphere around him.

It was a good way to pass the time, too, as it was getting dark outside amid the rambunctiousness with Cedric and the Hufflepuff Quidditch team.

At the same time, the Hogwarts Express also sounded a burst of whistle.

The train has arrived.

Under the leadership of the prefects, everyone got out of the car and walked towards the open space in the distance.

There, there are night unicorn carriages waiting to load them into Hogwarts.

This is the correct way for Hogwarts students to enter the castle, as for freshmen, they need to enter Hogwarts by boat through the waterway on Black Lake.

It's an old Hogwarts tradition, and it's what the Big Four used when they first came to Hogwarts.

In this way, the school hopes to remind students of the greatness of the Big Four and the hard-won comfort of living now.

It is also a kind of memory of bittersweet activities.

To be honest, Link still regrets not having such an experience.

After all, there are giant water monsters and mermaids under the Black Lake. Link has been curious about these friendly creatures that have been domesticated by Hogwarts for a long time.

However, Link really couldn't do anything shameless to row the boat again, so he could only follow everyone on the Yeqi carriage.

As the group of Ye Qi carriages gradually stopped in the open space beside Hogwarts Castle, a slightly strange old man also appeared in front of Link.

"Okay, get out of the car, hand me Ye Qi and you all go to the auditorium. Merlin's beard! George! Fred! Don't touch my baby Ye Qi with your dog's paws! Be careful it bites you! And you, Mossina..."

The weird old man was constantly shouting and drinking on the ground, looking very busy.

And after getting closer, Link finally found out what the strangeness of the old man was.

Because he is disabled.

Still severely disabled.

There is almost nothing intact on his body. Not only are there several scary scars on his face, but even only one arm and half a leg are left on his limbs.

As a result, he can only rely on prosthetic limbs with a steampunk style to move, and it looks very limping and weird.

"This is Professor Keitelborn, our professor of protection of magical creatures. Don't look at him like this, but he is one of the greatest researchers of magical creatures in this century." Cedric explained slowly, but When talking about the latter, his tone suddenly became a little weird, "but, you better be careful when you are in his class. Professor Kettleburn's personality is not very good, he is too keen on adventure, there are When the mood strikes, it will lead the students to make some dangerous actions."

"Well, I do see that he likes to take risks."

Link muttered as he stared at Professor Kettleburn's prosthetic limbs.

If he didn't like taking risks, his arms and legs probably wouldn't disappear.

Cedric, who heard the ranting in Link's words, also chuckled when he heard the words,

Then he dragged Link towards the castle.

At this time, the gate of the castle was open, and the warm candlelight in the auditorium could be seen through the gate. This long-awaited familiar scene made the students excited.

But everyone's excitement only lasted for a short while.

Because Professor McGonagall, who was wearing a loose robe, was standing at the gate with a stern face, scanning every student passing by her with that stern gaze.

And all the students who were swept by his eyes would bow their heads in fear, for fear that they would attract Professor McGonagall's special attention because of the eye contact.

Such is the power of Professor McGonagall.

But even so, there are still some unlucky people who are caught.

That's Neville.

He was left by Professor McGonagall to groom him because the wool vest was reversed.

This made the Slytherins burst into laughter, and interestingly, many Ravenclaws followed suit.

Fortunately, the laughter did not last long under the dead gaze of Professor McGonagall. Everyone quickly entered the auditorium and sat at the long tables of their respective colleges in turn.

Up until this point, the atmosphere between everyone was still cheerful.

Everyone was chatting freely with friends who had not seen each other for a long time, and from time to time bursts of laughter and shouts erupted in the crowd, which seemed extremely lively.

Dumbledore and other professors on the faculty seat were also smiling when faced with such a scene.

Today is a good day, no one will jump out and wipe everyone's interest.

This atmosphere continued until Professor McGonagall suddenly closed the door of the auditorium.

At this time, the auditorium became quiet in an instant, and everyone pretended to be serious and secretly looked at the closed door with gloating eyes.

Link had the same reaction.

Because this is also one of the traditional shows at Hogwarts.

Every freshman at Hogwarts is told by his parents and brothers that he needs to go through a trial before entering the school.

There are different opinions about the specific content of the trial, but the same is that this trial is extremely cruel and has a high mortality rate in all populations.

The purpose of this is to make these freshmen frightened like quails at the entrance ceremony, and then show that indescribable wonderful expression after the reverse, so as to satisfy everyone's bad taste.

I have to say, this is a pretty bad joke.

But everyone is very happy about it, and even hides each other very tacitly.

After all, each of them came here in the past, and as the juniors, they naturally have to go through the mischief that the seniors suffered.

As a result, under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, the freshmen finally lined up in a neat line, trembling like a chick following an old hen into the auditorium.

The serious atmosphere around them made them instinctively nervous, and some of the timid ones even started to tremble.

This made many old students around couldn't help but want to snicker, and in the end they could only pinch their thighs, relying on pain to maintain a serious expression.

And in such a strange atmosphere, the sorting ceremony finally began.
