Chapter 733 Moonlight Returns

Magic Era Year 999, September 1st.

It is a day that is both loved and hated in both magical and non-magical circles.

The long summer vacation is finally over and a new semester has begun.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is no exception. The only difference is that compared to two months ago, "Hogwarts" now refers to more than just castles, lakes, forest farms, vegetable fields, and Quebec. The campus area of ​​Diqi Stadium is gone.

In the open space between the school gate and Hogsmeade village, there is now a row of low houses.

However, the little wizards who had just arrived at the school in the night did not have the energy to pay attention to these subtle changes yet.

After riding the train for a whole day, most of them were already exhausted.

The Hogwarts Express does not serve lunch. Under the triple influence of hunger, cold, and exhaustion, even the upperclassmen's faces have a strong look of fatigue. After the train stops for a while, the students push They rushed out of the car door and walked towards the carriage stop outside the dark platform, hoping to return to the warm and comfortable Hogwarts Castle as soon as possible.

"Then, let's separate here and see you at school later..."

Elena walked down the platform, pulled out her wand and touched Hermione, Hannah, and Luna one after another. An invisible warm current flowed down from their heads like a waterfall, driving away the cold air after nightfall in the Scottish Highlands.

I have to admit that the Scamanders are indeed quite amazing wizards.

During the previous month's summer vacation, Elena learned a lot of magic from Tina Scamander, most of which were not in the textbooks and were summarized by adult wizards in their daily lives. magic.

As for the Ministry of Magic detecting traces of underage wizards casting spells...

As early as the first day of the summer vacation, Gellert Grindelwald helped her get rid of it - as a reward for a steaming bowl of less authentic "Nurmengard version" spicy soup, which for the old man For the Demon King, it's really a good deal.

"Eh?! Separate? Why?"

Hannah frowned and asked with a confused expression.

"Elena, shouldn't you come with us to the castle in the carriage?"

"The freshmen are crossing the lake, so--"

Hermione glanced at Elena's plain wizard robe, her eyes slowly passed over the hands held by Elena and Luna, and nodded thoughtfully, with a trace of curiosity on her face. Earth look.

"Is it really okay for you to be alone? You know what I mean..."

"Don't look at me like that! I've said it many times, I'm not a road warrior!"

Elena glared at the little beaver who was half-smiling, and her tone couldn't help but soften a little, "I just don't have a good sense of direction, and besides, Luna is here - there's no way, Hagrid can't take a boat this year, you know of."

As she spoke, Elena pursed her lips not far away.

Among the crowds of people, a figure over three meters tall looked particularly conspicuous.

As the news spread that Tom Riddle was Lord Voldemort, and the files on Hogwarts' "Chamber of Secrets Murder Case" accidentally spread fifty years ago, many voices of sympathy and praise naturally appeared in the wizarding world. ——In an exclusive interview with the Daily Prophet, Hagrid was dubbed the "first warrior to resist the mysterious man".

Of course, the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts revoked all punishments against Hagrid, and after consulting with Dumbledore and Hagrid themselves, made an extraordinary decision that Hagrid could continue to complete his studies at Hogwarts. .

So, for today at least, Hagrid is not some Hogwarts gamekeeper, orientation director or keykeeper.

According to the regulations of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hagrid should, together with other senior students, take the school's carriage at the station, pass through the Hogwarts gate with winged boar sculptures on both sides, and enter Hogwart along the school avenue. Castle - As with all fourth-year students in Gryffindor House, there is no special treatment.

In contrast...

Elena raised her wand and pointed it elegantly at the sky.

"Explosion Maximum!"

boom!

With a thunderous roar, a group of brilliant fireworks suddenly bloomed over the station.

Immediately afterwards, the huge light and shadow of the Hogwarts school emblem appeared above the heads of the students. In the bright four-color school emblem, the animals symbolizing their respective houses moved their bodies as if awakening from a dream, making a series of powerful sounds.

"Freshmen! Freshmen come over here!"

Elena waved her wand, and a beam of light fell from the school emblem in the sky, marking her location.

Compared with Hagrid's previous method of gathering freshmen, Elena's method was obviously much easier to distinguish. It only took about one-third of the usual time to gather all the freshmen who entered Hogwarts this year in Eileen. In front of Na.

"Very good! Then let me see...well, everyone should be here."

Elena tried hard to resist the urge to stand on her tiptoes and tap the number of people. She turned her head quietly and glanced at the house elf on the right side of the Hogwarts Express train. She waited until it raised a lantern and shook it continuously. After three times, he continued.

"Now, first years, draw your wands!"

Not far away, Luna Lovegood was already standing at the steep and narrow descent.

As one of Elena's most important wings, although Luna is occasionally a little confused, at least her ability to find paths is quite good, and after a school year of getting along with her, she has also grown a lot in her acting skills. few.

Luna turned her head and asked softly with a serious look on her face.

"Professor Kaslana, what should we do next?"

"Relax, try to remember what you tried on the train, and read with me..."

Elena replied very naturally, looking around at the little wizards who were watching her, her eyes stopped for a moment on the little witch who was about the same size as herself in the crowd, and she gave her a gentle look quietly.

Immediately afterwards, Elena took out the wand, shook her wrist flexibly, and read clearly.

"Lumos! Lumos!"

Countless bright white lights flickered around the girl, as if they were flying around her as flexibly as fireflies. In just a few seconds, the darkness in the station was dispelled, and it looked like a dreamlike beauty.

As Elena cast spells, the little wizards around her chanted spells one after another.

Different from the sporadic light a year ago, this time almost all the newly born wand tips flickered, and countless bright and dark white lights gradually lit up. Everyone gathered together to form a field as bright as moonlight.

In front of them, on the rugged and dark path, as the light gradually spread, exquisite marble steps emerged one after another.

In the distance, spreading towards the boat on the lake.

…………

Hogwarts castle tower in the distance.

"It seems that starting from today, Hogwarts will have another tradition..."

Dumbledore stood on the windowsill, looking at the bright moonlight that suddenly lit up by the lake in the distance, and turned to look at Grindelwald, who was standing behind him with a complicated expression.

A warm smile appeared on the old wizard's old face, and he shook his head with emotion.

"Come on, Gale, the moonlight is back at Hogwarts - and it's time for us to go to the school hall."

I recommend the new book "Hogwarts from Another World" by Black Alchemist. It is a Harry Potter background in another world line (Grindelwald defeated Dumbledore in a duel), and also has a little Cthulhu element. , if you are interested, you can check it out
