Civilization and Harmony Hogwarts

Chapter 143 The Hogwarts Express

Seeing that the train departure time was approaching, Afu had to feel like urging Little Tom to wait for the train to find a seat first.

"After getting off the bus, you don't need to carry your luggage. The house elves at Hogwarts will send the luggage to the dormitory after the little wizard is sorted."

"My sister is waiting for you at Hogwarts."

After Tom accepted Afu's forehead kiss, he boarded the train step by step with seemingly steady but erratic steps.

"Tom, here."

As soon as Tom stepped onto the train, he had just settled on the floor when he heard a familiar voice.

"This way."

Tom walked towards Abu's.

As he got closer, Tom realized that there were still two tall figures standing behind Abu.

Seeing the subtle doubts on Tom's face, Abu introduced to Tom familiarly: "Gol and Crabbe."

Unfamiliarity is not enough, Abu has introduced it to different friends many times today.

Gore and Crabbe behind Abramovich are both physically strong and tall.

Tom knew that Abu always wanted a few followers to support the scene, so after hearing Abu introduce the two foolish people behind him, he immediately understood that these were Abu's future followers.

"Tom Gunter, nice to meet you." Tom bowed his head slightly and greeted with a polite smile.

Gore and Crabbe were flattered by Tom's seemingly benign attitude, who were being taunted by Abu's other friends.

Maybe it's because of the huge difference in attitude, or maybe it's because they have seen too little of the world, just one meeting or a word, they developed a great affection for the outstanding Tom Gaunt in front of them.

They didn't notice the indifference deep in Tom's eyes and the hands he hadn't stretched out at all.

Yes, Tom had no intention of shaking hands with them at all.

Abu on the side felt that Tom was too polite, so he urged impatiently: "Okay, Radolphs and the others are waiting for us in the box."

"You guys, help Tom take the box." Abu ordered Gore and Crabbe unceremoniously.

Although Gore and Crabbe's brains were not particularly bright, they also knew that being a follower should be like a follower, so they actively stepped forward to take the box from Tom's hand.

"Thank you." Tom graciously let them take the box on his hand, and he didn't forget to express his thanks verbally.

Hearing this, the person who took the suitcase didn't know whether it was Gore or Crabbe who scratched his head and smiled naively: "No, you're welcome."

……

"This room."

While talking, Abu opened the door of the carriage with a "swish".

As the carriage door was pulled open, the scene in the carriage unfolded before Tom's eyes.

Upholstered seats, curtains and brackets in shades of silver and green.

The few little wizards sitting on the seats were startled by the sound of the door, and turned their heads to face the carriage door in unison.

Every carriage on the Hogwarts Express is not narrow, but this carriage is particularly large.

"You put Tom's luggage down, and then sit at the door." Abu directed Gore and Crabbe to put Tom's suitcase on the edge of an inner seat, and then pointed to the left and right sides close to the box door. A seat, indicating that they will sit there later.

They put Tom's suitcase away and sat down where Abu pointed them out, without any discomfort on their faces.

Facing the obedience of these two new followers of Abu, even the most critical Walburga softened his face, and reluctantly accepted Gore and Crabbe to follow them.

After all, he is just a follower and not a friend, as long as he is obedient and doesn't get in the way.

Not to mention that although Gore and Crabbe are not some prestigious families, they are at least pure blood servants who are barely qualified.

Tom walked to the seat they left and sat down, and Abu also sat down next to Tom.

"Ugh-"

When they sat down, the train let out a long whistle, and then the little wizards on the train felt the carriage shake.

"What do you think the sorting ceremony is like?" As soon as Abu sat down, he couldn't wait to ask everyone about the information about the sorting ceremony.

"My father said that we are going to challenge the giant monsters. The deans of each college will choose the students they want based on the performance of the new students." Radolphs said.

“My mother told me that we would have an entrance exam.” Perhaps because admission was so exciting, Acria, who has always been reticent, also actively participated in the discussion.

"Dad said that when we took a boat across the Black Lake, those who successfully reached the castle under the attack of the water monster would be officially admitted, and those who failed to fall into the water would be thrown back to the starting point by the water monster, and then sent home directly by the Hogwarts Express. "Enoss' expression of disbelief showed her attitude, but she quickly changed her face and sweetly agreed with Achoria, "But I think what my brother said is very likely to happen~"

"The exam sounds very formal~"

Acria gently touched the top of Enos's head.

"My father and uncle said that freshmen would be thrown into the Forbidden Forest. There are badges of different colleges in the Forbidden Forest. Just take the badge of your favorite college and go out of the Forbidden Forest and hand it to the professor." Adeline told everyone Sharing the knowledge popularized by his elders, "The badge of which college you give to the professor will be assigned to that college."

"I... I didn't ask..." Facing everyone's asking expressions, Elton's guilty voice became lower and lower.

All the little wizards in the carriage: ...

"And you, Tom? Has the professor revealed anything to you?"

"My sister only said that the meaning of the sorting will surprise you." Tom spread his hands helplessly, expressing that he didn't know more information.

"Oh—" A long sigh sounded.

"By the way! Haven't you already been sorted?" Radolphs' words attracted everyone's attention to the two sisters of the Black family.

"If I talk about it first, I won't have that kind of surprise." Lucretia resolutely defended the secrecy rights of the seniors at the sorting ceremony.

"As the professor said, it will really surprise people." Walburga was vague, but only agreed with Afu's statement.

Everyone helplessly withdrew their expectant eyes.

"My father said that it was directly selected by the deans of the colleges. I met Professor Slughorn, the dean of Slytherin, at the party before." Abu deliberated for a long time, and said the information he had learned to ease the atmosphere .

------

ps: Wikipedia only says that Horace Slughorn was the professor of Potions from Tang Tangzi’s time to his own generation. It didn’t mention whether he was the dean of Slytherin College at that time, but Baidu Encyclopedia mentioned him He was the head of Slytherin, but he was indeed the head of Slytherin after the war. I don’t know if he was the head of Slytherin before the war, but I think with his reputation and ability, Tang Tangzi should be a Slytherin when he was a student. Dean, so this article assumes that Horace Slughorn is also the head of Slytherin while serving as the professor of potions.
