Chapter 21: Roommates (1/2)
”Well, before everyone goes to bed, let us sing the school song together!” Dumbledore raised his wand and tapped it lightly, and a text twisted by a gold ribbon floated in front of everyone.
The members of the Hogwarts Choir also appeared. The prefect next to Albert was also one of them. The choirs in the front row were still holding big toads.
As Dumbledore waved his magic wand, all the teachers and students began to sing the school song at their own rhythm.
Albert also mixed in, his mouth closed, pretending to be singing.
No way, the song is in the second grade, and the professors on the teacher bench are all a little stiff, obviously a little reluctant.
It’s fine for kids, but a group of adults are singing this kind of school song, and feel shameful!
”Hogwarts, Hogwarts...” Next to Albert, the funny Weasley brothers are singing with the melody of ”Funeral March”. The beat can't keep up with the others. The few freshmen around them are One after another.
”...we will study hard until it turns into dung.” After the song was finished, the two were still singing slowly, and Albert suddenly had the urge to cover his face, pretending that he didn't know them.
After the end of the song, Dumbledore asked everyone to go back to rest.
The entrance banquet finally ended. Everyone rushed forward, causing traffic congestion in an instant.
Now, Albert somewhat understands why the newcomer is ranked first.
If this is followed by students of other grades, I might go wrong. Think about the students of Gryffindor, who accidentally followed the wrong team and ran to the common room in Hufflepuff, only to find that they were walking in the wrong place. The scene was not too beautiful.
”The newcomers, all come with me.” It was the prefect who led the way for the newcomers in Gryffindor, who was just on stage.
He led everyone through the noisy crowd, walked out of the dining room, and after climbing the marble stairs, separated from the freshmen of other colleges.
The freshmen team walked through the corridors and walked around the castle, instead of walking up the legendary moving stairs.
There are many portraits hanging in the corridor. The characters on them are whispering when the new students pass by, and there are portraits that greet them.
The prefect leads the freshmen through the castle. You can never guess where the entrance is?
Mingming had a closed wooden door in front of him, but they passed through the stone gate on the opposite side. For some doors, you need to hit the exact position before it opens for you. Some doors are hidden behind curtains or behind pictures. However, this is not the worst, because there is now a hapless trap staircase, which obviously looks the same as a normal staircase, but when you reach a certain step, you need to step over, or if you step in, your feet will sink. inside.
For newcomers who have just come here, it is simply a disaster.
”Are you all right!” Albert stretched out his hand and pulled Lee Jordan out.
”Not good.” Lee Jordan said irritably, ”I was taken aback just now. I really don't understand what the school does with so many weird things?”
”I think it's funny, right George.”
”I think so too.”
”These are the defensive facilities left over from the past, and now they have become a major feature of Hogwarts.” Albert explained, ”Come on, I don't want to get lost.”
I don’t know how long they have been walking. When Albert felt that his legs were a little sore, they finally reached the eighth floor and walked through a long corridor to the end. There was a portrait hanging there. The portrait was of a very rich woman. Undoubtedly, this was the legendary fat lady, the gatekeeper of the Gryffindor Tower.
”Password?” she asked.
”Nonsense.” After the prefect had finished speaking, the portrait opened like a door, revealing a circular hole in the back.
He did not rush in, but turned to the new human, ”You must remember the password, you can only enter the lounge by giving the fat lady the order. The current password is nonsense.”
After finishing speaking, the prefect led everyone in through the hole in the wall, which was the Gryffindor common room.
