Chapter 4 Hello, Hogwarts

1185 Words
After emphasizing the precautions for this semester, Dumbledore seemed to have become the somewhat unreliable and kind headmaster again, wearing a slightly crooked wizard hat on his head, and spoke loudly. "Before going to bed, let's sing the school song together!" As Dumbledore's voice fell, Ivan clearly saw that the professors on the stage changed their faces, and several senior students also seemed to be constipated. Dumbledore waved his wand on his own, and a long golden ribbon floated out of the wand, turning into words like a snake. The wand was like a baton. Under Dumbledore's guidance, the Hogwarts school song sung by the whole school resounded in the hall. "Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, please teach us, whether we are old or bald, or young men with i***t legs, that our heads can be filled with new and interesting things." Various versions and tunes were pieced together in a mess. The Weasley brothers tried to mess up the mix and try to lead everyone astray. Ivan also took advantage of the situation and sang a few sentences along. After singing, he unexpectedly felt that the mixed tone seemed quite nice. Ivan couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his musical aesthetics. Fortunately, the headmaster Dumbledore had the same feeling. The respected white wizard was so moved by the music that he almost cried. It took him a long time to break free from the melody. While wiping his tears, he reminded the heads of all levels that they could go back. Ivan followed the flow of Gryffindor freshmen along the spiral staircase to the highest floor. At the end of the corridor, Percy stopped at a wall with a portrait of a fat woman. Before the freshmen could ask questions, they saw the fat woman move, change her posture, and speak solemnly. "What's the password?" "Dragon scum," Percy replied. The fat woman nodded and made way, revealing a round hole in the wall. Ivan knew that this was the Gryffindor common room. After entering, Ivan found that it was much larger than he had imagined. The red lion flag representing Gryffindor was hanging in the air. There were several long tables neatly arranged in the wide lounge, and comfortable chairs were placed under the long tables. The dark brown fireplace was against the left wall, and the burning flames not only illuminated but also dispelled the coldness of the night. The Gryffindor dormitory was for five people. There were five four-poster beds in the spacious room, and their luggage was placed underneath, neatly stacked aside. Because he had no corresponding memory, Ivan couldn't even recognize his own suitcase and bed. Just as Ivan was about to wait for his roommate to choose a bed, a gray-white owl suddenly flew from the top of the railing on the west side to Ivan's shoulder and pecked Ivan's face intimately. "Maca?" Ivan was stunned at first, and then the name suddenly came to his mind. "Coo~" The gray-white owl responded with two words. "Whether it is or not, I will call you Maca from now on." Ivan stretched out his hand and scratched the owl's neck lightly, and Maca squinted his eyes comfortably. With Maca's guidance, Ivan quickly confirmed that the bed against the wall on the west side was his. There were few things around him. In addition to bedding and pillows, there were some clothes and daily necessities and a few textbooks that needed to be carried. It is worth mentioning that Ivan found a small sign next to his bed, on which the words Ivan Hals were engraved intimately. There were similar signs on other beds, but Ivan just didn't notice it. Ivan had not been alone in the dormitory for long when the sound of the door being pushed open was heard outside, followed by a familiar voice. "I didn't expect the sorting was just about wearing a hat. I thought we had to fight a troll. I knew I shouldn't believe George's nonsense." The one who pushed the door open was a little wizard with flaming red hair and freckles on his nose. He was mumbling something, and the little boy following behind him was wearing a pair of glasses and looked a little thin. Harry? Ron? Ivan was somewhat surprised that he was in the same dormitory with the savior Harry. It was quite a coincidence. "Hello, I'm Ivan Hals!" Ivan walked up and took the initiative to greet him. "Hey, I'm Ron Weasley." Ron also noticed Ivan's presence. "Hello, I'm Harry Potter." Harry also stretched out his hand at this time. Ivan shook hands with Harry first, then looked at Ron and smiled. "Just now at the meeting, your brothers George and Fred mentioned you to me." "Oh, damn, I don't believe they would say anything good about me." Ron thought about how George and Fred usually teased him, and he felt angry. Harry was somewhat happy that Ivan's attitude was different from others. After all, since he entered the wizarding world, every time he met other wizards, they either made a fuss or wanted to see the lightning-shaped scar on his head. It must be said that Harry thought this behavior was really stupid. Friendship between young wizards can sometimes be established in a short time. Moreover, Ivan, who has read the original book, knows the two of them well. With deliberate catering, they naturally became friends quickly. In the dormitory, Harry talked about the unfair treatment he received before coming to the wizarding world, and Ron mentioned one or two interesting things about being teased by the Weasley twins. Not long after, Neville and another young wizard in the same dormitory also joined in. They talked until late before going to bed. After a series of mishaps throughout the night, Ivan was really exhausted. As soon as he touched the bed, his body went limp and he couldn't get up. He even forgot about the original plan to explore the system. Indistinctly, he could only hear Ron scolding Mouse Banban. Ivan looked up and then covered his head with the quilt. His lips moved silently a few times. Hello, Hogwarts! The next morning, Ivan woke up from his dream and looked around blankly. It took him a long time to realize that he had to go to class. He suddenly had to move from the bed to the classroom, and Ivan was a little bit uncomfortable for a while. However, Ivan had no intention of being late for his first class at Hogwarts. Although it was still early, considering the extremely difficult stairs in Hogwarts, Ivan thought it would be better for him to leave early. Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to call Ron and Harry who were still staying in bed. I don't know if it was because of Harry's savior halo or Ivan's bad luck, but he encountered two missing steps while going downstairs, and poor Ron even bumped into a wall disguised as a door! Fortunately, it was because of Ron's personal demonstration that Ivan and Harry were spared.
