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

The students are actually the same. They look forward to the holiday when they go to school, but after the holiday is over, they look forward to the start of school.

So after the crowds, the atmosphere on the train became more joyful.

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

Actually, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with arithmetic and divination.

After all, this is a relatively formal course. Link can at least learn some real skills in this course. If he really takes the divination class, Link probably only has the ability to make up stories in class.

After comforting himself, Link finally got into the joyful atmosphere around him.

This is also a good way to pass the time. As the quarrel with Cedric and Hufflepatch Quidditch teams was getting darker outside.

At the same time, there were also bursts of whistles on the Hogwarts Express.

The train arrived at the station.

Under the leadership of the senior leaders, everyone got out of the car and walked towards the clearings in the distance.

There, there were night kilo carriages waiting to load them into Hogwarts.

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

This is the old tradition of Hogwarts, and it is also the way the Big Four used when they first came to Hogwarts.

The school hopes to use this method to make students remember the greatness of the four giants and the hard-won life now.

It is also a kind of activity of remembering bitterness and thinking about sweetness.

To be honest, Link is quite sorry that he has not had such 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 the job of rowing a boat again with shame, so he could only walk onto the Yeqi carriage with everyone.

As the Ye Qi carriage group gradually stopped in the open space next to Hogwarts Castle, an old man with a slightly weird figure also appeared in front of Link.

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

The weird old man kept shouting on the ground, looking very busy.

After Link got closer, he finally discovered where the old man was weird.

Because he is a disabled person.

Still the kind with severe disability.

There was almost nothing intact on his body. Not only were there a few terrifying scars on his face, but even only one arm and half of his legs were left.

This led to him being able to rely on prosthetics with quite steampunk style to move, looking very strange and limping.

"This is Professor Kettleborn, our professor of protection magic biology. Although he is like this, he is one of the greatest magic biology researchers of this century." Cedric explained slowly, but his tone suddenly became a little weird when he spoke later. "But you better be careful when taking his class. Professor Kettleborn has a bad personality. He is too keen on taking risks. Sometimes he will take students to make dangerous moves when he is interested."

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

Link murmured as he stared at Professor Kettleborn's prosthetics.

If he didn't like to take risks, his arms and legs would probably not have disappeared.

Cedric, who heard the complaints in Link's words, chuckled when he heard this, and then pulled Link towards the castle.

The castle gate was open at this time, and the warm candlelight in the auditorium could be seen through the gate. This familiar scene that had been away for a long time made the students excited.

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

Because Professor McGonagall, wearing a loose robe, was guarding the gate with a stern face, and glanced at every student passing by her with his stern eyes.

Any student who was swept by his eyes would lower his head in fear, fearing that Professor McGonagall would pay special attention because of his eyes.

This is the power of Professor McGonagall.

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

That's Neville.

Because he was worn in the wool vest, Professor McGonagall was left to fix his appearance.

This made the Slytherins burst into laughter, and interestingly, many Ravenclaw were laughing along.

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

Until this moment, the atmosphere between everyone was still cheerful.

Everyone was chatting with friends who had not met for a long time without any scruples. From time to time, bursts of laughter and shouting burst out in the crowd, making it extremely lively.

Dumbledore and other professors in the faculty seats were all smiling when facing such a scene.

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

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

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

Link reacted the same way.

Because this is also one of Hogwarts' traditional programs.

Every Hogwarts freshman is told by his parents and brothers that a trial is needed before entering school.

There is a specific content about the trial. Everyone has different opinions, but the same is that among all people, this trial is extremely cruel and has a very high mortality rate.

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

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

But everyone is happy about this and even covers each other up very tacitly.

After all, each of them came here like this, and as juniors, they naturally had to endure the pranks that their predecessors had suffered.

So, under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, the freshmen finally lined up in an orderly line and followed into the auditorium with fear as if they were little chickens following the old hen.

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

This made many old students around him unable to help but want to laugh, and in the end they could only pinch their thighs and rely on the pain to maintain a serious expression.

And in such a strange atmosphere, the branch ceremony finally began.
Chapter completed!
