Chapter 21 Roommates
"Okay, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore raised his wand and clicked lightly, and a piece of text twisted by a golden ribbon floated in front of everyone.
Members of the Hogwarts Choir also appeared, including the prefect next to Albert. The choir members in the front row were holding big toads in their hands.
As Dumbledore waved his magic wand, all the teachers and students began to sing the school song according to their own rhythm.
Albert was among them, opening and closing his mouth as if he too was singing.
There’s nothing I can do about it, the song is very mediocre, and I’m also sad that the expressions of the professors at the teacher’s desk are a bit stiff, and they are obviously a little reluctant.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a child, but when a group of adults sing this school song, it feels so shameful!
"Hogwarts, Hogwarts..." Next to Albert, the funny Weasley brothers were singing to the melody of "Funeral March". The rhythm couldn't keep up with the others. Several freshmen around them started singing. Sideways glance.
“…We will study hard until we turn into dirt.” After the song was sung, the two of them were still singing slowly, and Albert suddenly had the urge to cover his face and pretend that he didn’t know them.
After the last reverberation of the song, Dumbledore asked everyone to go back and rest.
The entrance banquet finally ended, and everyone rushed in, causing traffic congestion in an instant.
Now, Albert somewhat understood why the newcomers were ranked first.
If you follow students from other grades, you might end up in the wrong place. Think of the Gryffindor students who accidentally followed the wrong team and ran to the Hufflepuff common room, only to realize in the end that they were in the wrong place. The scene was simply not beautiful.
“Newcomers, follow me.” The person who guides the newcomers in Gryffindor is the prefect, who has just performed on the stage.
He led everyone through the noisy crowd, walked out of the restaurant, and after ascending the marble stairs, he was separated from the freshmen of other colleges.
The new team walked through the corridors and around the castle, instead of taking the legendary moving stairs.
There are many portraits hanging in the corridor. The characters on them are whispering to the freshmen when they pass by, and there are also portraits that greet them.
The prefect leads the new students through the castle. You will never guess where the entrance is?
There was obviously a closed wooden door in front of them, but they passed through the stone door on the opposite side. For some doors, you need to touch the exact location before it will open for you. Some doors are hidden behind curtains or behind portraits. However, that's not the worst thing, because there is now a bad luck trap staircase. It looks just like a normal staircase, but at a certain level, you need to step over it, otherwise if you step in, your feet will sink in. in.
For newcomers who have just come here, it is simply a disaster.
“Are you okay?” Albert stretched out his hand and pulled Lee Jordan out.
"No." Lee Jordan said angrily, "I was just shocked. I really don't understand why the school has so many weird things."
“I think it’s funny, isn’t it George.”
“I think so too.”
“These are defense facilities left over from the past, and now they have become a major feature of Hogwarts.” Albert explained, “Follow me quickly, I don’t want to get lost.”
After walking for an unknown amount of time, when Albert felt his legs were a little sore, they finally reached the eighth floor, walked through a long corridor, and reached the end. There is a portrait hanging there, which shows a very rich woman. There is no doubt that this is the legendary Fat Lady, the gatekeeper of Gryffindor Tower.
“Password?” she asked.
“Nonsense.” After the prefect finished speaking, the portrait opened like a door, revealing a circular hole at the back.
He did not rush in, but turned around and said to the newcomer, "You must remember the password. You can only enter the lounge by saying the password to the fat lady. The current password is nonsense."
This is a large, old round room with many sofas in it. In the corner of the room, there was a blazing flame burning in the fireplace, with a large amount of firewood placed next to it. Several people were sitting on the sofa chatting. After the newcomer came in, they looked over here and waved to the newcomer. .
"You are lucky. Tomorrow is Saturday, which means no classes. This is a rare opportunity. I suggest you get familiar with the castle in these two days. The environment of the castle is more complicated than you think. If you don't want to get lost, It's best to find out where the classroom is as soon as possible." After the prefect finished speaking, he pointed to the two doors and said, "Girls, go over there, boys, follow me."
After he said hello to another female prefect, he led Albert and his group into another door and walked down the narrow spiral staircase. He encountered many doors on the way. The prefect introduced them to the freshmen’s rooms, washrooms and bathrooms.
Of course, the washroom and bathroom are shared. Fortunately, the bathroom has a partition, thank God.
As for their respective rooms, they need to find them by themselves, and there are special name tags on the doors.
Albert, the twins and Lee Jordan lived in the same room. There were only four people here.
The room is not big, with four beds with curtains, and their luggage is placed beside the bed.
Albert found his suitcase easily, yawned and took out his pajamas and put them on himself.
“Please give me your advice in the future.” Albert smiled and greeted the other three people.
“Please give me your advice.” The four of them looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh.
"Tomorrow, I'm going to explore the castle, will you go?" Albert took out his camera from his suitcase, retreated to the door and took a photo of his bedroom.
"Of course. Remember to call me in the morning." The twins looked at each other and said in unison.
“What about you?” The three of them looked at Li Jordan.
“Of course, let’s go together.” The black guy obviously didn’t want to be alone.
"Good night."
Lying in bed, I was obviously very sleepy, but still couldn't fall asleep. Albert always tends to suffer from insomnia every time he goes to a strange place.
Others were obviously not as troubled as he was. After eating and drinking enough, they fell into a deep sleep not long after lying on the bed.
Albert turned sideways and opened his task panel. The original exploration progress had reached 3%.
I don’t know how much it would cost to walk around the castle tomorrow. He flipped through his skill list again, which was several pages long.
Most of the magics are only at level 1, and a few have not yet been mastered.
Looking at the skills that were still at level 0, Albert suddenly had the urge to spend experience to upgrade them to level 1.
This is a bad habit left over from playing games in the past. I always have the habit of maxing out my skills.
Albert took a deep breath and turned off the panel, lest he accidentally spend all the experience he had worked so hard to accumulate, which could be related to his future life.
In a daze, Albert fell asleep. He had a dream, in which he dreamed of himself in his previous life, holding a book and flipping through it. He still remembered that it was the first time he came into contact with the Harry Potter book.
“Is all this a dream?”
No, this was not a dream. He had already confirmed it time and time again the moment he opened his eyes again after his death.
This is not a dream.
I always feel like the author of a fan story, creating another Harry Potter fan story of my own. However, this time, he cannot describe the sexual content he wants as unscrupulously as the author.
Ah, literary youth is a disease.
