The train stopped, and the students walked out of the train in groups and stood together on a small, dark platform.
Harry felt nervous now. He glanced at Ron next to him. Looking at Ron's pale face, he knew that Ron's mood was also not calm.
Coupled with the cold night, Harry was already starting to shiver.
Luke, who came out of another carriage, was quite calm and even had the intention to look at the surrounding scenery.
Although the platform looked small and shabby, it was surrounded by mountains and there was a lake nearby. This scenery really made Luke quite satisfied.
Then he saw Hermione next to him and found that she was biting her lip and her face was pale. He didn't know whether it was because of fear or because it was too cold.
"Don't worry, there will be no entrance exams and no withdrawals at the beginning of school. We will just be divided into different colleges later. After that, there will be a sumptuous banquet. Of course, it is best not to only have British food..."
Hermione looked at Luke who was quite calm, took a deep breath, and calmed down.
"First years! First years come over here! Harry, come over here, how are you?"
Harry heard Hagrid's loud voice from a distance, so the uneasiness in his heart was diluted by the joy of reunion. He pulled Ron, who was confused, and quickly walked in Hagrid's direction.
Luke and Hermione also saw Hagrid.
"He's so tall! Does he teach physical education?"
Hermione couldn't help sighing, and then asked Luke again.
Luke's mouth twitched, but Hermione's reaction... seemed to make sense?
"No, he is Hagrid, the gamekeeper and keykeeper of Hogwarts. As far as I know, Hogwarts does not have formal physical education classes. If you insist on saying so, flying lessons should be considered physical education classes..."
But I always feel like that thing is learning to drive...
Luke complained secretly in his heart.
Hermione looked at Luke in shock, although she knew that the curriculum in schools in the magical world and the normal world would definitely be different. However, the fact that there were no physical education classes still made her feel that the world was different.
But this is not necessarily a bad thing for her. After all, she still prefers reading books to exercising.
"Let's go, the first-year students will go by boat, and the old students will take another route."
After saying that, Luke walked towards Hagrid.
Hermione frowned slightly, wondering why Luke knew so much about Hogwarts. Looking at the students around him, even Malfoy looked nervous.
Did his guide explain everything clearly to him? Why didn't my guide tell me? !
In other words, Luke couldn't hear Hermione's thoughts, otherwise he would definitely tell Hermione.
If you can give your guide a high-end magic note from more than 800 years ago, then you will definitely get almost perfect guidance.
Of course, Luke's source of information mainly comes from memories of previous lives.
"Long time no see, Hagrid!"
Luke said hello to Hagrid.
Hagrid looked at Luke and laughed loudly: "Long time no see, Luke, it looks like you have a very cute cat."
He pointed at Booker, who poked his head out of Luke's arms, with a gentle smile on his face.
"He is very smart, and he seems to have the blood of a catnive."
Luke touched Booker's head and said with a smile: "I know, Mrs. Catherine told me when I bought it."
After a few simple greetings, Hagrid saw that all the students had basically arrived, so he guided them along a steep and narrow path. There are gloomy woods on both sides of the path, and insects chirp from time to time in the forest.
The dense shadows of the trees blocked the moonlight, leaving only a little bit. The main light source is the lantern in Hagrid's hand.
Harry subconsciously moved closer to Hagrid, trying to find a sense of security in his generous body.
Although Luke knew that nothing would happen here, the atmosphere was so intense that he clenched his sleeves and remained ready to pull out his wand at any time.
Suddenly he felt something tugging at his sleeve. He subconsciously pulled out his wand. But fortunately, he quickly realized that it was Hermione's hand.
He could vaguely see Hermione's face, and it was obvious that such an environment still made her a little scared.
Luke did not shake off her hand, but he also did not take the initiative to comfort her. He just followed Hagrid silently and continued walking out.
"Turn around this corner, and you will soon see Hogwarts for the first time!" Hagrid suddenly turned around and shouted.
Luke could feel that many people in the team were startled, but soon, they all let out a loud "Oh——"
The black lake finally showed its full appearance, and on the hillside on the other side of the lake, a towering castle stood on it. The windows shone like stars.
Hagrid looked at the shocked expressions of the children with a proud smile on his face.
"Get to the lake, kids! No more than four people in each boat!"
Luke walked to the boat with surprise and shock. He only felt that the scene in front of him was many times more shocking than what he had seen in the movie.
Hermione followed, followed by Harry and Ron.
"Well, Luke, I said a little too much in the box, but I was so angry that I couldn't control myself."
Ron said to Luke as soon as he got on the boat.
Hermione looked at him and rolled her eyes, not looking very satisfied with this reason.
Luke smiled and patted Ron on the shoulder and said: "It's normal for us to be angry, Ron, but never let anger drive you to make a certain decision. Don't be overwhelmed by anger. This It is a basic cultivation that we should have.”
Ron could hear Luke's words being preachy, but he nodded anyway. After all, he felt that Luke's preaching was better than Percy's.
"At least it sounds more reasonable." Ron muttered in his heart.
After that, they approached the cliff, passed through the ivy curtain, and passed through a dark tunnel before finally arriving at an underground dock.
When getting off the boat, Hagrid found a toad in an unknown boat. and gave it back to Neville.
Finally, after passing through the tunnel, they climbed a set of stone steps.
Saw the oak door.
Hagrid stepped forward and knocked on the door three times.
The door was slowly opened from the inside.
Luke could clearly feel that almost every student present held their breath. For the wizard-turned-students, they finally arrived at their dream school.
And for students like Hermione. What opens at this time is the door to a new world.
—————
ps. When I described the scenes around the station, I did not strictly follow the original work. It's like the Black Lake in the original book can only be seen after turning that corner. What I write here is that you can see part of the Black Lake in the distance, but it is not the whole picture. After re-reading it, I feel that the journey that first-year students take is really troublesome. I don’t know what I think (manual laugh and cry)
