A day at Hogwarts

The castle gate opened, and Professor McGonagall, wearing an emerald green robe, came out.

Her expression was very serious and her eyes were sharp. Harry turned to Charles and said, "She's very powerful, she's not easy to deal with."

As a result, Harry found that Charles had an innocent smile on his face, no matter how he looked, he looked like a good boy.

Charles had to be a good boy, the old man said, if he made Professor McGonagall angry, he would consciously stay in the Azkabanya room.

Besides, the old man customized a flying broom for himself, and asked the manufacturer to send it to Professor McGonagall for safekeeping.

Professor McGonagall led the students into the castle and came to the small room on the left of the foyer.

She told the freshmen that the sorting ceremony would be held later, and asked them to tidy up their appearance.

Charles was a little distracted until Harry asked him if he had a comb.

On the side, several students discussed what the sorting ceremony was like.

Hermione felt a little nervous and reached out to tug on Charles' sleeve to ask him if he knew what it was.

Charles said in a "whispered voice" mysteriously: "I asked Mr. Ollivander, and he said that the test is related to each person's wand, and the wand core is made of which animal to fight with."

"Really...really?" Hermione asked tremblingly, "My wand... the core...is a dragon's..."

She was too frightened to finish her sentence.

The students next to him were also terrified. They had all seen Ollivander, and if he said that, he would definitely not run away.

"Dragon... is very powerful... I read it in the book." Hermione was about to cry, "What should I do, I will be refused to learn it!"

Harry also said nervously, "I...I can't fly, what should I do?"

Charles ignored Harry, but comforted Hermione: "It's okay, the dragon's weakness is in the abdomen. When it pounces, you slide a shovel, slide under it, and attack its abdomen with your wand."

Then Ron on the side saw what it means to change face instantly, and Harry and Hermione, who were so nervous, relaxed at once. One elbowed Charles and the other kicked him.

Harry had known Charles at the opposite door since he was sensible, and Hermione was this guy's elementary school classmate, and he had been teased by him like this for many years.

Harry: "Ow!"

Hermione: "Ouch!"

Charles: "This is the Iron Armor Curse, I want to learn to read by myself."

The old man said that Hogwarts is very dangerous, 10 people will be killed on the way to class, so self-protection should be done anytime and anywhere, and the Iron Curse should be turned on all day.

At this time, a group of ghosts passed through the wall, and the fat monk greeted everyone.

The ghosts distracted everyone's attention, but the pressure of the sorting ceremony did not disappear so easily. If it hadn't been for Professor McGonagall's reminder, Harry would have held the comb tightly until he saw the sorting hat.

The freshmen breathed a sigh of relief after Hannah Abbott demonstrated how to sort into schools.

Charles saw that the sorting results were the same as he remembered, and he couldn't help being a little nervous when Professor McGonagall pronounced his name.

The dirty sorting hat was put on Charles' head, and he immediately shouted: "Azkaban!"

Everyone thought the Sorting Hat was playing a prank, and the whole cafeteria laughed, even Dumbledore laughed.

Harry asked George Weasley beside him, "What does Azkaban mean?"

George replied, "It's a wizard's prison."

Fred added, "Mum's always worried we're going to be there."

"Oh..." Harry nodded, "I don't think it would be a joke if Dudley came."

Over there, Charles asked the Sorting Hat in a low voice with black lines, "I didn't offend you, did I?"

The Sorting Hat shook its tip and said, "Life is so boring, why not have some fun."

"I can feel that you are enduring great pain, what a powerful courage and courage, you are the most suitable for Gryffindor!"

"Gryffindor!"

Taking off his hat and making a conclusion, Charles put down his hat calmly, walked towards the long table of Gryffindor with a smile on his face.

As soon as Charles approached the table, the fourth and fifth Weasleys pulled him over and seated him between them.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith."

"Oh, your name is Charles too. Like our second brother, I'm sure we can get along very well."

"Charlie is now a Romanian dragon trainer. He used to be the captain of the Gryffindor College Quidditch team. Do you know about Quidditch? We are members of the academy team. If you want to learn, we can teach you."

"How about some hors d'oeuvres? How about a chocolate frog?"

...

The two Weasleys who looked exactly the same were chatting with Charles there, and the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious, which pleased Prefect Weasley.

It's just that although Charles agreed on the surface, the alarm bells were ringing in his heart, worried that they were playing some tricks.

Seeing that the atmosphere was up, the twins felt that their favorability had been brushed up enough, and they started to get down to business.

Fred asked Charles: "I hear you have a pouch?"

George said, "Just now you gave Potter a comb."

Charles understood, and remembered that Ron mentioned on the train that the two of them had studied the bag, but they gave up because they couldn't afford the materials.

"There is one." He never thought of hiding this matter, anyway, he couldn't hide it.

Fred immediately said, "Can you show us?"

George continued, "We can help you with your homework."

Charles replied: "No problem, you don't need to do your homework, this is not a place, let's talk about it when we go back to the dormitory."

Seeing that he agreed, the twins were happy to share with him the prank props they had made.

Charles also convinced them, and it could be heard that the two mastered the spell far beyond their peers.

While the three were talking and laughing, the sorting ceremony was over, and Ron walked to the long table of Gryffindor. After Dumbledore finished speaking, a sumptuous dinner appeared on the table.

Hogwarts maintains a very old tradition, and the advantage of this is that the diet remains at the level before Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated.

Charles ordered a large piece of roast beef, two pork chops, and three boiled potatoes, as well as some pea shoots and carrots, which were topped with tomato sauce.

George looked at the full plate in front of him and asked in surprise: "Can you eat so much?"

Harry, who sat next to George, said: "He ate more than other people growing up."

Hermione, who was sitting opposite, also interjected: "When he was in elementary school, he had to pay the food expenses for three people."

Charles looked up at Hermione, looked at her plate, and said with a sneer, "I'll write and tell Mr. Granger that you asked for a lot of mints."

Hermione immediately persuaded her to eat as little sweet snacks as possible in order to protect her teeth.

Charles glanced at the plate in front of Harry again, and said equally coldly, "Remember to eat more vegetables."

Harry was equally intimidated.

At this moment, a ghost came over. Nick, who was almost headless, originally wanted to remind Charles that he would be deducted points if he left too much food, but seeing him eating there, he felt that it might not be enough.

"There's pudding later," Nick reminded him.

"Thank you for reminding me." Charles took a sip of pumpkin juice, "I eat with discretion."

He chatted with Nick while he was eating, and Nick reluctantly showed them the relationship between his head and neck.

Charles saw this hapless ghost in the memory of the old man, and he helped him at the beginning, but Nick failed to join the Headless Horseman Club because of his own problems.

It's just that the old man deliberately concealed some things and skipped many places.

Nick leaves shortly after, when pudding appears on the table.

Charles chatted with everyone about his family and ate two pieces of apple pie.

Dumbledore had been secretly observing Harry, and by the way saw Charles who hadn't stopped talking, wondering if Hogwarts was going to charge him for food?
