Chapter 9: 9, Miranda

Hoffa's expression froze, and his body turned into petrification. This man was simply poisonous.

He took a deep breath and silently took the chocolate frog back. His heart, which was eager to eat food, was messed up by this girl. In two lifetimes, he had never seen such an arrogant guy, even more arrogant than Decora Malfoy.

"I think you will probably be sorted into Slytherin." Hoffa said lightly.

As he said, he put the snacks in his pocket, he didn't want to stay in this compartment at all.

"How is it possible!" The girl sneered, "How can an eagle soaring high in the sky be with a snake that is lying down in the ground." The owl on her shoulder neighed proudly.

Girl: "I can only enter one house, which is the house with the smallest number of people in Hogwarts, and it is also the place where smart people should stay..."

"as long as you are happy."

Hoffa packed all the food in his pockets. Then he walked to the door without looking back, opened the door, closed the door, and walked away.

Hoffa didn't want to listen to her BB. He didn't know which college he would enter, but he already knew which college he didn't want to go to the least. But he didn't want to go to any college that this girl went to.

After leaving his own car, Hoffa wandered through the corridor eating snacks all the way. In the room, all kinds of children are talking and laughing, promoting mutual friendship.

When passing a section of Slytherin carriages, Hoffa saw Tom Riddle leaning on his seat talking and laughing with others. Among other things, this guy's charisma is really not covered. The old clothes couldn't cover up the leader's radiance on his body at all.

Hoffa felt a little resentful. Speaking of which, he hadn't even found a single friend in Hogwarts.

It's normal to think about it, he was neither born in a wizarding family, nor a famous savior like Harry, nor is he handsome like Tom Riddle, of course he can only be a little transparent honestly.

After shaking for half an hour, he was a little embarrassed.

Because Hogwarts was approaching, everyone drew the curtains on the carriages and began to undress and change into school robes.

There are basically people in the carriages here, and Hoffa looked at the jeans and T-shirt on his body, thinking that he couldn't take off his clothes in the corridor.

As for going back and changing it, that's impossible, Hoffa didn't want to see the silver-haired girl's face at all.

So Hoffa trotted down the corridor, looking for an empty compartment. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable carriage. Because it's either a girl's car, so I have to avoid suspicion. Or it is a car with a lot of people, which is very crowded.

Hoffa ran from the rear of the car to the front.

Only then did I find the only suitable one, and there was only one person in this carriage. A girl in a black robe was sitting quietly in the carriage reading a book.

Although it was also a girl, there was only one, and Hoffa, who was pressed for time, couldn't pick and choose.

Hoffa knocked on the glass door.

The girl raised her head and looked at him calmly.

This is a very elegant girl with round glasses, fair skin, short chestnut hair, gray pupils, and a slender figure.

Hoffa held up his school robe apologetically. The girl understood, she closed the book, got up and opened the door.

Hoffa got into the car, smiled and said, "I'm sorry, the other cars are full, and I have no place to change clothes. May I borrow your car?"

The girl nodded: "Change it, it will be here soon."

With that said, she helped Hoffa pull up the curtain. He got up and walked out of the car, leaning his back against the door.

Hoffa quickly changed his clothes. After changing his clothes, he opened the door: "Okay, thank you."

The black-haired girl nodded, got into the carriage, and continued to read the book. Didn't mean to say a lot.

There was a faint floral fragrance in the carriage, and Hoffa thought it might be her body fragrance. The only sound in my ears is the sound of pages turning.

After a while of silence.

Hoffa was a little curious, so he asked, "The other cars are full, but why are you sitting in the car alone?"

Girl: "They don't want to bother me because I'm reading."

Hoffa looked down and saw "War and Peace" written on the yellow cover. Hoffa was familiar with that book.

"Do you read Muggle books on War and Peace?" Hoffa asked.

"Of course," the girl looked up at Hoffa a little, as if she was reluctant to take up this topic. She turned a page and asked, "Are you a newborn too?"

"yes."

Hoffa held out his hand, "Hoffa, Hoffa Bach."

The girl nodded and stretched out her hand, "Miranda Goshack."

Hoffa feels a little strange, Goshack?

What did that proud silver-haired girl say to herself just now, 'Miller Goshack'

So Hoffa asked, "Do you have a brother named Miller?"

The girl looked up, pushed her glasses, and smiled gently: "Sorry, I haven't heard of this person."

"oh."

Hoffa grumbled, but didn't pay attention.

To be honest, he had almost forgotten about that arrogant girl.

Pulling out her palm, the chestnut-haired girl took out her wand and waved it casually.

All the clothes Hoffa took off were neatly folded together, like tofu cubes.

After she was done, she put the book back in the box and said to Hoffa, "You don't need to bring anything, someone will get it for us."

Miranda was as gentle as jade from beginning to end. Not in a hurry or dry, let alone showing off. Such people are suitable to be friends.

In the last few minutes in the car, Hoffa and Miranda chatted casually, and the most common topic of conversation among the freshmen was the college. But Miranda didn't seem to care which college she went to.

"Actually, except for the location of the lounge, the colleges are similar in other things, and the courses are also the same." Miranda said.

Hoffa said curiously: "You seem to know Hogwarts very well."

Miranda smiled and said, "Someone in my family works here. I have been to Hogwarts since I was three years old."

Hoffa always felt that the surname Gosak was somewhat familiar.

He quickly put it in his pocket, and sure enough, he saw the signature of Adebe Gorshak on his freshman admission notice, he is the vice principal.

"Vice-principal, Adebe Goshack, he is you..."

"He's my grandfather," Miranda sighed, "Excuse me, can we not talk about this?"

Ten minutes later, it was completely dark outside. The train slowly stopped at a dark and small platform.

The little passengers pushed and shoved and rushed to the door.

Hoffa shivered from the night chill as he walked off the train with his newly-acquainted golden thighs. One after another old horse lanterns swayed above the students' heads. He thought he'd see Hagrid here, but no.

Here is an old one-eyed hunter on horseback. He turned his horse's head and shouted domineeringly.

"Freshman, come with me!"

This must be the gamekeeper too, Hoffa sighed. Probably Hagrid's former gamekeeper.

As for Hagrid, he was estimated to be barely nine years old now, and would be two years away from school.

Through the dark forest path.

The one-eyed warden of the game park led a group of chattering children to the edge of a dark lake. By the lake, there are dozens of small wooden boats parked.

On the other side of the lake, on a high hillside stands a majestic castle with towering spiers and windows twinkling under the starry sky.

At this time, Hogwarts is almost exactly the same as that described in the original book except for the different people.

system.

Ding!

(The knowledge of the Great God is mysterious and unpredictable. Before you have it, you have no idea of ​​its possible power)

On a rare occasion, Hoffa ignored the system's prompts. He looked at the castle, feeling agitated, and it felt like a dream come true.

The gamekeeper dismounted from his horse, picked up his bow and arrow, and picked up his oil lamp. Shouted: "Four people a boat, don't grab it."

The children boarded the boat noisily.

Miranda sat next to Hoffa, and two strange students sat across from Hoffa, talking and laughing. He heaved a sigh of relief, the lingering silver-haired girl did not follow, which was better than any news.

The crowd sat still, and the boat moved automatically in the black lake.

The children next to them pointed at the surrounding scenery, and most of them were extremely excited.

Hoffa plunged his hands into the cold water of the lake.

The sound of splashing water made him feel very comfortable.

Suddenly, there was a slight tingling in his fingers, and when he raised his hand, Hoffa was startled.

It is a small mermaid curled on his finger, it has the appearance of Thumbelina, but the lower part of the body is a fish tail. When found, the little mermaid squirted a stream of water arrows in his face.

Hoffa quickly put his hand back into the Black Lake. The mermaid left his fingers.

Miranda smiled: "The Scottish lake monster, a magical creature, can become as big as a person when it grows up. There are many here."

Hoffa curled his lips and didn't put his hands in the lake again.

Getting closer and closer to the castle, everyone held their breath. Only the sound of water remained in the air. Pass through several bridge holes with dense ivy. Following a dark tunnel that seemed to lead beneath the castle, at last it reached a sort of subterranean pier, and then climbed up a patch of gravel and small pebbles.

Came to the other side of the lake, at the foot of Hogwarts.

I don't know if it's his illusion, but this school is much bigger than he imagined. The dark city walls are endless, and there is no end in sight. The towers at the highest point seem to be inserted into the clouds.

Walking to the door, Hoffa noticed something different. Because he remembered that the original book said that the gate of the castle was an oak gate, but the gates he saw now were all engraved from black metal, with various strange patterns and characters engraved on them. It looks very old and solemn.

Has some unknown change occurred in the past half century? Hoffa rubbed his chin and thought secretly.

The door opened automatically, revealing a luxurious marble staircase, and a group of people entered one after another.

The one-eyed old man on horseback dismounted at the staircase door and followed the new student.

He reached out his hand to stop the freshman in the hallway, and said, "Wait here, don't talk."

But his words had no effect, a group of children clustered together, how could they not speak.

Everyone was whispering, talking and laughing.

Hoffa also wanted to talk to Miranda, but she just closed her mouth and shook her head slightly, signaling Hoffa not to talk like everyone else.
