After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

"Wow!" Draco and the other two were startled. "Is this... an octopus?! What a huge octopus!"

Yang Mei was still holding the tentacle. The suction cup on the tentacle kept wriggling, which looked a bit disgusting.

"It's so big, it can eat many meals, right?" Yang Mei thought seriously and wanted to eat fried squid rings.

The surface of the Black Lake changed from its previous calm appearance, and the water surged up and down.

The small boat on the lake was affected by the waves and was constantly shaking, and exclamations were heard one after another all around.

Fortunately, it calmed down quickly because the giant octopus successfully exposed his head.

Yang Mei nodded with satisfaction: "It is indeed very big."

"My name is Yuri." The big octopus looked at Yang Mei and suddenly spoke.

Yang Mei's face suddenly fell. He never eats ingredients that can talk.

I immediately lost my appetite for the giant octopus.

Yang Mei threw the tentacle in her hand into the lake: "Hello, I am Phoenix Selwyn, a first-year student at Hogwarts."

The giant octopus didn't say anything else. It just looked at Yang Mei for a few seconds, then slowly sank into the lake.

"Phil, what's going on?" Delacour was stunned.

Yang Mei spread her hands: "Maybe my charm is too great, so he couldn't help but come out and make friends with me."

He was talking nonsense, but everyone who heard him believed it for some reason.

After this little episode, a group of small boats carrying all the freshmen passed through the ivy-covered cliffs and came to a hidden open entrance.

All the small boats sailed along a dark tunnel into a place similar to an underground dock, and then landed on a ground covered with gravel and pebbles.

The new students disembarked, and Hagrid discovered Neville's toad while checking the empty ship.

"Thank God!" Neville opened his arms and shouted ecstatically. He has been emo for a while.

Led by Brother Hai, everyone finally arrived at a flat and wet grassland in front of the castle.

We climbed a flight of stone steps and stopped in front of a huge oak door.

Hagrid stepped forward, raised his sandbag-sized fist and banged on the door three times.

The door slowly opened, and a tall black-haired witch in an emerald green robe appeared at the door. She had a serious expression and looked around at the children at the door with sharp eyes.

"First year, Professor McGonagall," said Hagrid.

Professor McGonagall nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, Hagrid. I'll take care of this."

She led all the new students into the entrance hall, where torches were burning on the stone walls and the ceiling was so high that it was almost invisible. In front of her was a grand marble staircase leading directly to the upper floors.

Yang Mei heard a buzz of voices coming from the hall on the right, probably students from other grades had arrived.

However, Professor McGonagall did not take them directly into the hall, but took them to a small empty room.

The freshmen were whispering.

"What are you doing? Are you giving us a lecture?"

"That's right. We will be sorted into houses soon. Maybe the professor wants to tell us how the houses will be sorted."

……

Professor McGonagall stood at the front, looking at the freshmen who were only as tall as her waist and said, "Welcome to Hogwarts. The opening banquet is about to begin, but before you take your seats in the hall, you need to confirm which college you will enter. There are four colleges: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

During your time at school, the college is your home. Your outstanding performance will win extra points for the school, while any violations will deduct points from the college. At the end of the year, the college with the highest score will receive the college cup.

"Rivet!" This shout was so loud that it not only successfully interrupted Professor McGonagall's words, but also scared everyone.

Professor McGonagall looked at the fat boy squatting at her feet picking up a toad and couldn't help sighing in her heart. This child should be sorted into Hufflepuff, right?

Because of Neville's interference, Professor McGonagall didn't want to say anything more.

"The sorting ceremony is about to begin." After saying this, she turned and left.

"That's Harry Potter over there, right? I saw the scar on his head." Theodore Nott, who had always been taciturn, spoke up.

Pansy and the others followed her gaze and looked... Well, isn't it just like a normal person, with two eyes and a mouth? There's nothing special about it.

"Could the child next to him be the Weasley family's kid?" Pansy said with contempt. "Of course it is. Who can't recognize that red hair? I didn't expect that their family would have new students enrolled this year. I've never seen a family in the wizarding world that can give birth to as many children as theirs. It would be fine if his family had money, but the poorer they are, the more children they have. Can poverty be addictive?"

Blaise also said: "Harry Potter makes friends with the Weasley children. It seems that he will definitely go to Gryffindor."

Although the students of Gryffindor and Slytherin cannot be called mortal enemies, they definitely dislike each other.

If Harry Potter entered Gryffindor House, they wouldn't have to worry about whether to be friends with him.

Yang Mei looked at them, each of them looking thoughtful, with an indescribable expression on her face.

In other words, is he the only one who is serious about coming to Hogwarts to study?

This is a school, not some extravagant social place!
