Chapter 6 Hogwarts on the Carriage

Chapter 6 6. Hogwarts on the Carriage

The complexity in Jon's heart cannot be described in words.

Facing this familiar yet strange world, the thing that can bring him a sense of security the most is to hear the information about the protagonists in the original story.

But now Lily, who should sacrifice herself to protect her son, is about to take him to Hogwarts, so Harry Potter, the savior in the prophecy, is likely to be in danger.

Now there is news that Hermione Granger has been taken to the Hogwarts, which Lily mentioned as the "taming field".

The three little ones in the original book can be said to be completely shattered, and Voldemort's dark power is countless times stronger than in the story.

This completely shattered Jon's initial fantasy that the destined protagonist is still there and the world can still be saved.

His mood also sank to the bottom of the valley like the setting sun.

The sky gradually darkened completely, and the dim street lights on both sides of the road lit up, illuminating this secluded road.

Lily suddenly stood up from the bench. She released her hand holding the wand that had been hidden in her trouser pocket and took out a silver lighter-like object from her coat pocket.

She pressed the button on the lighter, and the next moment, all the street lights on both sides of the road went out.

The night was very dark tonight. After the light source disappeared, the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness.

When Lily took out the lighter, Jon also stood up. His arm was led by Lily. Not long after, he vaguely heard a burst of horse hooves in the darkness.

"Hogwarts is here."

The house with bright lights in the windows in the distance suddenly jumped to one side as if it was alive, and then jumped back to its original position, as if making way for something.

The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, almost right next to his ears. Soon in the darkness, Jon vaguely saw a huge carriage!

The carriage was about the same size as the safe house he had seen during the day, two or three meters high and five or six meters long, but the strange thing was that there was no shadow of any horse in front of the carriage, as if there was no creature pulling it, but the clear sound of horse hooves was so real.

The horseless carriage stopped in front of Jon and Lily, and there was a man sitting in front of the carriage.

It was a very tall and strong man, and the proportions were so coordinated in this carriage that was as big as a small house.

He held two reins in his hands that connected to the air in front. In the dark night, Jon could not see his face clearly, but he felt the caring gaze that was looking at him.

"Hello, kid, it's our first time meeting. I'm the coachman of Hogwarts. You can call me Hagrid."

Rubeus Hagrid, the gamekeeper and key manager of Hogwarts Castle in the original book, is a half-blood giant, but he is also a gentle and kind person.

Information about Hagrid came to Jon's mind, and he did not forget to introduce himself.

"Hello Hagrid, my name is Jon Green."

"Ah, I'm glad to meet you Jon, and I'm glad to see that you are safe, Lily."

"Thank you Hagrid, but this is not a safe place. I'm going to take him up." Lily said softly.

Hagrid happily raised the reins in his hand.

"Go quickly, Professor McGonagall has returned with a child in the afternoon. Dumbledore told me a good place. We will hold a welcome dinner there later!"

Lily took Jon to the rear of the carriage, then she took out her wand and pointed at the wooden railings on the side of the carriage, and a wooden staircase extended from it.

Jon followed Lily, stepped onto the stairs with her, opened the curtain, and walked into the carriage called Hogwarts.

As soon as they entered the carriage, they were in a wide foyer.

Just based on the space here, it is not something that a carriage that looks only the size of a small house can accommodate. It must be that some magic that can expand the space has been applied inside.

In the hallway, an older witch with a straight back, dark green robes, black hair tied up in a bun, and square eyes on her face was standing here to greet them.

"Professor McGonagall, I'm sorry, I only brought back one child."

After seeing the older witch, Lily stepped forward and hugged her gently, saying guiltily.

Professor McGonagall's originally serious and rigid expression softened a lot, and she patted Lily's back with her hand.

"Don't say these words, just come back safely. You go and rest first, there will be a dinner later, leave this child to me."

Lily nodded, handed Jon to him, and then left the hallway.

After sending Lily away, Professor McGonagall's expression became serious again and looked at Jon.

"Mr. Green, I am Minerva McGonagall, the deputy headmaster of Hogwarts and also your professor of Transfiguration and Herbology. I believe that when Lily brought you here, she has already completed the initial admission guidance for you. Next, you have to follow me. I will take you to meet up with other freshmen and then go to collect your wands."

Jon was not unfamiliar with this deputy headmaster of Hogwarts who was mentioned a lot in the original book, but after hearing Professor McGonagall's self-introduction, he was obviously stunned for a moment.

Professor McGonagall noticed his abnormality and asked with a slight frown.

"Do you have any questions?"

Jon took a deep breath and shook his head.

"I have no problem, Professor. I'm just a little nervous coming here for the first time."

Professor McGonagall looked at him, and her serious face relaxed a lot.

"It is indeed difficult to adapt to the unfamiliar environment at first, Green, but the professors and students at Hogwarts are easy to get along with. Maybe no one likes the life of exile, but you will make friends here."

Jon nodded seriously, and then followed Professor McGonagall to the corridor behind the entrance hall.

In fact, he was still thinking about the position that Professor McGonagall just said she held.

Professor of Herbology.

After walking out of the entrance hall and walking a few meters along the corridor, Professor McGonagall pushed open a door on her left and walked in with Jon.

After they entered the door, there were four pairs of eyes in the room behind the door looking at them.

These were children about the same age as Jon, three boys and one girl, sitting on the bench in the middle of the room. They didn't look honest before they entered the door. They were whispering to each other. After seeing Professor McGonagall, they immediately became well-behaved and sat upright.

Professor McGonagall glanced at the children with her sharp eyes, and motioned for Jon to sit on the last empty bench.

"Wait here first, I will take you to get your wands later."
