Superman's Journey

Chapter 331 Opening Ceremony

The Weasley brothers were more interested in pranks than anything else, especially when the prank involved their dearest brother.

But there were other seniors who saw things in other ways.

The train at Hogwoods is no ordinary steam train, but a steam train that has been enchanted to ensure that no one will notice this train that runs only once a year to an unknown destination.

But under such circumstances, Lincoln lightly changed the shape of the entire train, and even traveled into a special space that they had never heard of, which simply surpassed their understanding of magic.

Thinking of the innovative magic teaching class that Lincoln mentioned before, their eyes were filled with excitement for a moment. It was very interesting to be able to learn this kind of magic that they had never imagined before.

Happy time is always short, before the eye sockets of those teased freshmen return to normal, the train has already stopped at the platform.

The old students who were familiar with the road got out of the car and entered Hogwoods Castle through other roads, while the freshmen stood in front of Lincoln together.

Pure-blood wizards maintain a sense of superiority most of the time, which comes from their family's precepts and deeds, so when they saw Lincoln, they stood up even though there were tears on their faces when they were teased.

"Professor, your behavior is not authorized by the Ministry of Magic!"

"Well, you're right." Lincoln looked at Malfoy and said, "There are many things in this world that are not authorized by the Ministry of Magic, such as using the Avada Kedavra curse to kill people at will. But obviously, there are Lots of people are breaking Ministry rules."

"Mr. Malfoy, is it? I heard you come from a pure-blood family?"

"Yes, professor." Hearing his birth, Malfoy raised his head proudly: "My family's history can be traced back to the eleventh century, and it is undoubtedly one of the 28 pure-blood families!"

"Very good, a distinguished birth." Lincoln nodded, and then said: "Then, as a pure-blood wizard, you should know a lot about the history of pure-blood, right?"

"Yes."

"Then Mr. Malfoy, please tell me, how many people did Voldemort, supported by your pure-blood family, kill with the Avada Kedavra Curse that was not authorized by the Ministry of Magic to use on people during the dark age?"

"Do you think he should be punished for his unauthorized and arbitrary deprivation of other people's lives? Can his current fate be used to balance what he has done?"

Lincoln's words can be described as murderous, like a sharp knife piercing into Malfoy's young heart bloody. Facing Lincoln's question, his face immediately turned pale.

Not only him, but other pureblood students in the crowd who had supported Voldemort in their families all had a bad look on their faces.

On the front foot, they were responsible for Lincoln's actions that were not authorized by the Ministry of Magic, but on the back foot, Lincoln pointed out that they once supported more bloody actions.

If it were the adults in their family, they would probably be able to argue with Lincoln with reasons such as the Imperius Curse, but these 11-year-old children in front of them obviously don't have this kind of thinking.

All of a sudden, their mouths were gagged, and they could no longer speak a word.

Some of the pure-bloods showed dissatisfaction because of Lincoln's words, but in the end they couldn't muster up the courage to stand up against Lincoln's words again, because the students around who didn't know much about Voldemort had already looked around.

They even began to discuss Voldemort's evil deeds in a low voice, and wondered why pure blood would support a murderer, which made Malfoy's faces very exciting.

At least from Lincoln's point of view it was wonderful.

The work of welcoming the new students is entirely carried out by Lincoln, so there are no other teachers here. Of course, Hogwoods knows what happened on the express train. After all, Lincoln did not remove the curse on it.

Professor McGonagall wanted to rush over to stop Lincoln's behavior, but Dumbledore stopped him, because this was also part of the welcoming ceremony, but it was a little different from the past.

But what does it matter?No student was harmed in the process anyway, was it?

Dumbledore's heart is very wide, so wide that McGonagall and the others don't know where Dumbledore got such a strong confidence, but in the end because of their trust in Dumbledore, they did not intervene, but quietly in the castle. Watching quietly.

Incidentally, some of the teachers got red noses from nowhere.

Don’t get me wrong, of course it’s not because they want to play clowns, but because they went to see the different dishes this year in advance, and sealed their noses unacceptably, but some teachers think it’s nothing, it tastes delicious good.

The express train is only the first stop for the freshmen, and their next journey is the second stop - Black Lake.

The black lake at night was pitch black, and to those students who had just experienced the turmoil, it seemed even more weird, mysterious, and frightening.

Of course, a large part of this was due to the fact that it was Lincoln who was going to take them across the water. Recalling what happened on the train, they became more and more worried.

As if seeing the hesitation and hesitation in their hearts, Lincoln laughed: "Be happy, a group of four, board the boat, as long as you can reach Hogwoods smoothly, you can enter Hogwoods with the help of the Sorting Hat." In the world of magic, in addition, the school has free dinners!"

"Imagination, the warm firelight, the warm environment, the welcome of students and teachers, and the sumptuous food, don't you have any expectations for this?"

Lincoln expounded in a demagogic tone, constructing a dreamlike school environment for those students, so that the uneasiness on their faces gradually disappeared, and they boarded the seemingly ordinary boat obediently.

But when the last student boarded the boat, a student looked at Lincoln standing on the shore and expressed doubts: "Professor, aren't you going to get on the boat?"

"No, I have a bad heart."

"Have a bad heart?"

"Well, my heart is not good, so I can't stand the stimulation."

Lincoln nodded with a calm expression, but the eyes of the students on the boat widened. The next moment, the calm lake surged.

Layers of ripples spread, and became undulating as time went by, and the wooden boat, which seemed ordinary and calm, also tore off its mask of camouflage at this time.

Amidst the horrified screams of those students, the wooden boats sprinted like assault boats, and the scorching waves flew around them. Sometimes the wooden boats heaved on the waves, sometimes they were thrown into the air, or It is to pierce the waves directly and move forward bravely.

The originally dark night suddenly became clear for some reason, and they could even clearly see the fish swimming in the bottom of the lake, as well as the huge monsters and magical creatures that could directly bring deep-sea phobia to people.

At this moment, they experienced a more exciting water charge than a water park.

Lincoln, who is not a human being, first used the beautiful preview of Hogwoods to relax the students' mood, and then gave them a fatal blow. This ups and downs made them truly understand what is the sinister heart.

Their luggage was transported to the castle in advance, so they did not suffer any disaster, but when the ship docked, all of them shivered with disheveled hair and hands hugging their shoulders, looking like a drowned rat.

At this time, even Malfoy no longer stepped forward to act like Lincoln, because his young heart was washed away by the extra load. Even now, his eyes are already lax, he doesn't know what he is thinking, and he just follows the big army in a daze go ahead.

Professor McGonagall, who was supposed to be waiting in the castle, finally waited uneasy at the gate of the castle. When she saw the group of drowned chickens appearing in front of the gate led by Lincoln, she hurried forward and waved her wand : "Renewed!"

A ray of light shot out from the tip of her staff, and then passed over everyone scatteredly. The next moment, the wet clothes on their bodies became dry and fluffy, and even the sundries stuck to them in the lake were wiped out. All cleaned up.

All in all, they don't need to take a bath and change clothes, and they can go directly to the sorting ceremony.

After doing all this, Professor McGonagall looked at Lincoln, with some blame in his tone: "They are only 11-year-old children, I don't want them to miss classes because of a cold on the first day of school. So irresponsible."

"Professor McGonagall is right, but with the infirmary, no one of them will catch a cold."

Lincoln chuckled: "Besides, as a wizard, if you don't have a strong body, it would be too bad. When you talk about girlfriends in the future, you will definitely hate your body."

McGonagall: .
Regarding Lincoln's argument, McGonagall had nothing to say: "Okay, Professor Lin, leave the next sorting ceremony to me. The opening ceremony is about to begin, and the seats inside have been arranged for you."

"Hopefully it's a better seat."

Watching Lincoln's back leave, and knowing that Lincoln will no longer interfere in the next sorting ceremony, many students including Ron Harry were deeply relieved.

The impression this trip to school had brought to them was too deep, and they felt that they would definitely remember it for a lifetime.

In the hall, Lincoln appeared on his throne.

Hmm. On one side is the professor of Charms, Flitwick, and on the other is the professor of Potions, Snape. It can be said that they are blessed by nature.

Looking around, in order to prevent Flitwick from talking to him about the curse, Lincoln approached Snape first: "Professor Snape, I heard that you have a very deep knowledge of potions?"

Snape looked at Lincoln, he didn't want to speak at first, but after pondering for a moment, his lips twitched twice: "Yes."

"Professor Snape, according to your knowledge of potions, do you think it is possible for such a potion to exist - just wet the hair with water first, then apply the potion and rub it, and finally use a side of water, It will remove all the oil. Is it possible that this potion exists in reality?"

Lincoln's tone and expression were serious, as if he was really discussing some serious Potions issue, but what he said made the faces of several other professors and students who heard the question look weird.

They want to laugh, but because of colleagues and occasions, it doesn't seem to be a good time to laugh.

As for Snape, his face was completely dark at this time: "Professor Lin, we generally call the thing you mentioned shampoo, not potion."

"So that's it!" Lincoln had an expression of enlightenment on his face: "The first time I saw Professor Snape, I thought there was no such thing as shampoo in this world!"

puff!
Finally someone couldn't help it, and laughed out loud, Snape's face became extremely bad, and those gloomy eyes began to scan around, trying to find the person who laughed out loud, and then buckled his school. five points.

As the dean of the Snake Academy, Snape is always good at deducting points, so his gloomy eyes are so intimidating. All of a sudden, those students who were still snickering before became sat upright. .

I'm afraid of the glory of deducting five points on the first day of school.

Snape kept a dark face and remained silent, no matter what Lincoln did, he would never answer him even a word. On the contrary, Flitwick on the side became interested in Lincoln: "Professor Lin, I heard that you have your own way of using spells." innovative ideas and opinions, why don’t we exchange ideas?”

Lincoln: .
What he disliked the most was communicating with academic people, because he couldn't find any fun, but Snape was obviously not suitable for having fun. Perhaps, developing a prank prop for cleaning balls would be a good choice in the future?

On the stage, the professors got along happily, and the students below were also serious.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, the freshmen of the new batch came in from behind the door, stood in front of the stool with the sorting hat, and prepared to welcome their new college.

The sorting ceremony is a very solemn and serious matter. During the whole ceremony, there was no mistake at all.

With newcomers being assigned to four different houses, the respite most Hufflepuffs look forward to is about to begin - eating!
But not many people noticed that just before Dumbledore raised his hand to announce the opening of the banquet, many teachers had already brought the red nose props that could block the smell in advance, which seemed a little fun.

Someone with the greatest enthusiasm for mischief like the Weasley brothers noticed, but they didn't know why, until Dumbledore's staff was tapped, and dishes they hadn't seen before were eaten by the elves. Magic manifests on the table.

They took a deep breath and prepared to welcome the delicious food. The next moment, their expressions changed
