Stark in Harry Potter World - Chapter 17
Chapter 17 Magicians Can’t Eat Chocolate Frogs
This long journey made everyone extremely happy, except for Fred and the poor Sniff.
In order to celebrate Gryffindor’s great victory over Slytherin, George decided to take a part of the stolen money and use it to buy snacks.
In William’s words: I will pay for all the consumption tonight!
Although the audience was limited to six people, one rabbit, and one sniff in the compartment, only some snacks were consumed.
Popo Cha is not counted. It is very picky, almost only eating high-priced cat food and canned snacks bought by William.
If a person does not eat as delicately as a cat, it is easy to produce psychological imbalance.
Qiu once again proposed: “Let her be Hungry for a few days and it will be fine!”
Popo Cha squinted her eyes and stared coldly at the little white rabbit, the paws from the meat pad popped out, and the girl turned her face pale with fright, and immediately changed her mouth.
On the table, they bought a variety of bibidu beans, super bubble gum, chocolate frog, pumpkin pie, pot cake, licorice stick, and some weird foods that William had never seen before.
Today George was bleeding badly, and he didn’t fall. He bought some of each.
After a while, Qiu’s relationship with several people has also become closer, which makes Cedric very happy.
The joy of licking a dog is sometimes so simple and boring.
Fred handed William a chocolate frog, but the latter looked at the chocolate and hesitated for a moment, but still didn’t eat it.
As a magician, how can you sustain your stamina by eating chocolate frogs? Isn’t this a big death?
Fred saw that William was not eating, so he opened it himself, and after he opened it, he took out the picture.
The picture shows an old man wearing a dome hat, black-rimmed glasses on his face, silver hair and a drooping beard. The name under the picture is: Nicolas Flamel.
Through the back of the picture, William looked at the text: Nicolas Flamel is now recognized as the greatest alchemist ever.
His well-known contributions include: creating the only magic stone, creating the alchemy system from the Middle Ages to modern times, and driving the trend of using toads as pets, which will not decay for 600 years!
“Oh, it’s Nicolas Flamel, great, I have collected a complete set of pictures!” Fred announced excitedly.
A complete set of chocolate frog pictures, as many as several hundred, is generally difficult to collect, so the price is expensive.
Fred did not like to collect these, but prepared to sell other wizards at a high price.
Seeing Fred gathered all the pictures, George, Cedric, and Jordan Lee also joined the army of chocolate frogs.
During the crazy frog-eating process, time flies so fast, as if being drawn away by a force of darkness, it didn’t take long before it was evening.
William glanced out of the car window. The sky was already dark, there were mountains and woods under the dark purple sky, and the train slowed down.
“The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage in the car and we will take it to the school for you.”
The sound echoed on the train, and everyone got up, following the flow of people in the aisle, rushing forward.
The train slowed down and finally stopped. The students pushed and shoved, rushing to the car door, and down to a dark and small platform.
Then, a lamp flickered above the students’ heads, and William heard a familiar voice yelling: “First-year freshmen, first-year freshmen come here!”
Above the crowd of heads, Hagrid, who was nearly five meters tall, appeared to be particularly protruding.
He smiled and said: “Come on, come with me, are there any first-year students! Watch out for your feet, all right! First-year students come with me.”
After separating from Cedric and the others, William and Qiu stumbled towards Hagrid.
Under Hagrid’s leadership, the first-year freshman broke away from the main force and walked down a steep and narrow path. The ground was slippery and there were various vines stumbling.
It was pitch black all around, only Hagrid’s dim yellow oil lamp was showing the way.
William sighed. Hogwarts was really behind and didn’t install a street light or something.
William raised his wand, waved it, and whispered: “The fluorescence burst.”
The soft white light hung on the tip of the magic wand, and then, the light burst out, spraying out like fireworks, illuminating the nearly fifty-meter path.
Hagrid’s rough laughter came from afar: “Thank you, William, you know, I can’t use magic!”
Qiu stared at William’s face as if she had just met him.
“You are already able to perform magic?”
Before William was reading the second-grade spell book, Qiu thought he was just pretending, but now it doesn’t seem like that…
William shrugged, “Isn’t it simple?”
Hey, when this sentence came out, William was taken aback.
In the previous life, when he asked those esoteric math problems, the schoolmasters also smiled slightly, and said with a caring look in the mentally handicapped eyes: “Isn’t this very simple?”
Merlin’s beard! William can actually say this with peace of mind. Is this the realm of the legendary middle school?
But William soon regretted it. After he released the light with his magic wand, the little wizards of the first grade seemed to have found the backbone and squeezed towards him.
William once again realized the crowded feeling of making a car during the Spring Festival. He roared: “Don’t crowd…Eh! Whose picks, don’t touch it!”
Hagrid yelled cheerfully: “Turning this turn, you will soon see Hogwarts for the first time.”
Sure enough, after a loud surprise, a black lake suddenly spread out at the end of the narrow path.
On the high hillside on the other side of the lake, there is a towering castle with many spires and windows gleaming under the stars.
“Each boat cannot exceed four people!” Hagrid pointed to a group of small boats moored on the shore and exhorted loudly. It seemed that if there were more than four people, the boat would sink.
At this time, there was another push and shoving, and everyone wanted to sit in the same boat with William.
This kind of boat is unsafe at first sight, and has to cross a large lake, what if it falls down!
William knows magic, staying on the same boat with him, at least feels safe.
“Line up!” Hagrid used his large figure to block the wall and motioned for William and Qiu to get on the boat quickly.
After that, two little wizards were randomly selected from the crowd and threw them up, and the noise gradually ceased.
“Have you all been on the boat?” Hagrid shouted, riding a boat by himself.
“Then go!”
A group of small boats began to move without wind, rowing across the mirror-like surface of the lake, and drove forward.
Everyone was silent, staring at the huge castle high into the sky.
When they approached the cliff where the castle was, the castle seemed to rise above their heads.
“Head down!” Hagrid shouted as the first boats approached the cliff.
Everyone bowed their heads, and the boat carried them through the ivy tent covering the front of the cliff to the secret open entrance.
They walked along a dark tunnel, seemingly under the castle, and finally reached a place similar to an underground pier, and then climbed onto a ground of gravel and small pebbles.
Under the light of Hagrid’s lantern, everyone climbed up a tunnel in the rock, and finally reached a flat and damp grass in the shadow of the castle.
Everyone climbed up a section of stone steps and gathered in front of a huge oak door.
Hagrid raised a big fist and punched it three times against the gate of the castle.
Bang bang bang!
The door was opened, and a wizard came out.
